Chapter 11 - Unraveling the Consortium

Victor and Isabelle were seated in the softly lit war room, their faces lit up by the gentle glow from numerous computer screens. There was a heavy atmosphere of anticipation and tension as they carefully examined the recently obtained files from the vault. Every piece of the puzzle was made up of a document or a name that they were determined to uncover.

Victor sat back, massaging his temples. This is larger than what we anticipated. The Consortium has a global reach. They are more than just a secretive group; they are a powerful empire.

Isabelle gave a nod as she scanned through a list of names with her eyes. These individuals play a crucial role in the Consortium. Politicians, chief executive officers, and military officials. They are involved in all aspects.

At that moment, Marcus came into the room, wearing a serious expression on his face. I was able to successfully implant the incorrect information. The Consortium is already displaying indications of internal mistrust. "We must maintain the pressure."

Victor looked at Marcus with a serious expression on his face. "Great job." However, we require additional amounts. We need to target their weak spots.

Isabelle's eyes sparked with a sudden inspiration. What if we intervene in their financial activities? We have the ability to weaken their assets and compel them to commit errors.

Marcus nodded in contemplation. I know exactly where to begin. The city has an important bank called Consortium. If we are able to bring it down, it will convey a powerful message.

Victor gave his consent. "Let's make it a reality." Isabelle, you will be in charge of gathering intelligence. Marcus, collaborate with Lucian to plan the attack. We must act quickly.

The following night, Isabelle was situated in the center of Luminaris' financial district. Pretending to be a new employee, she quietly entered the bank, staying vigilant for any valuable details. She wore a small earpiece linked to Victor and the team, prepared to pass on any information she discovered.

While wandering through the building, Isabelle eavesdropped on a conversation between two senior colleagues talking about an upcoming significant transfer planned for the following day. Observing the specifics discreetly, her heart raced with excitement at the opportunity to make a significant impact.

At the secure residence, Victor and his team got ready for the mission. Marcus went over the plans with Alex, their recently recruited hacker partner, who would be in charge of the cyber part of the robbery.

Alex, you must deactivate their security systems and redirect the transfer. Marcus clarified that Lucian's team would be in charge of dealing with the physical breach.

Alex gave a nod as his fingers swiftly moved across the keyboard. "Think of it as completed." Once we begin, there will only be a short amount of time before they understand the situation.

Victor gazed at his gathered group, a combination of resolve and anxiety visible on their expressions. "This is the moment, all of you." We struck them with speed and force. Perfect.

As they left, the tension in the air was tangible. Victor and Isabelle briefly connected, their eyes meeting in silent comprehension. This wasn't just a task; it was a battle for what was to come.

The operation went smoothly and without any complications. Alex was able to breach the bank's security with his hacking abilities, as Lucian's team quickly secured the transfer details Isabelle had discovered by storming the building. In a matter of minutes, they redirected millions from the Consortium's accounts, causing chaos with their digital footprint.

From a distance, Victor observed the operation play out, feeling his heart race with adrenaline. Well done, all of you. "Let's leave that place."

Gathering back at the safe house, the team rejoiced in their success, however, the atmosphere stayed apprehensive. They were aware that the Consortium would seek revenge, so they had to prepare.

Victor walked up to Isabelle, his face becoming gentler. "You performed excellently today."

Isabelle flashed a smile, despite the worry in her eyes. "We are only getting started, Victor." They will pursue us with all their might.

Victor gave a confirming nod, feeling his determination strengthen. Allow them to arrive. "We will be prepared."

Just as the team was beginning to unwind, Marcus's phone suddenly vibrated with a pressing notification. He turned pale as he read it.

"Victor, there's an issue," Marcus mentioned, his voice filled with tension.

Victor glanced at him, feeling a creeping sense of dread. "What is that?"

Marcus gave him the phone. The Consortium is aware that we attacked them. And they are already strategizing their retaliation.

Victor's thoughts raced as he absorbed the news. They emerged victorious in one battle, but the conflict was still ongoing. And the upcoming decision has the potential to alter the course of everything.
