Christian exhaled slowly.

“You’re aware that challenging him publicly will not be easy. His administration controls considerable resources, and he has spent years building a network of loyal supporters.”

“I’m also aware that you’ve spent years trying to expose the irregularities in his land agreements.”

Another silence followed, this one more thoughtful.

“Your investigators found the contracts?”

“We found the contracts, the payment records, and the correspondence surrounding the agreements. We’ve also found evidence suggesting that the administration’s claims over the land changed after you had already fulfilled your obligations.”

Christian’s voice sharpened. “How much evidence?”

“Enough to justify a serious investigation. Not enough for me to promise you a particular outcome.”

I could almost hear him reconsidering his position.

“I appreciate your honesty,” he said at last.

“I prefer to know what I can prove before I make promises. It’s a habit I recommend.”

That earned a brief laugh.

“Then what are you proposing, Mrs. Asher?”

I glanced at Jason, who had been listening quietly beside me.

“We would like to compare our evidence with yours. If the president has manipulated public records to justify taking your land, and he’s now using similar accusations against my family, we may be looking at two parts of the same pattern.”

“You think he’s using public ownership claims to take control of private assets?”

“I think we have enough evidence to ask that question. Whether the answer is corruption, political maneuvering, or something more complicated, we need to establish it before making accusations of our own.”

Christian remained silent for several seconds.

Then he said, “I’ll meet with you.”

“Good. Bring the original contracts and any correspondence from the president’s office. We’ll bring our findings, and our legal teams can compare the records.”

“One condition.”

I waited.

“If Lfind evidence that your family has unlawfully acquired land belonging to Sum, I will not conceal it simply because we’re working together.”

I smiled faintly.

“That is precisely the kind of condition I was hoping you’d impose.”

Jason gave me an approving nod.

Christian continued, “And if the evidence clears your family, I expect you to support an independent inquiry into the land agreements.”

“Agreed. Neither of us should be asking the public to take our word for anything.”

“Then we have a deal.”

The call ended.

I lowered my phone and looked at Jason.

“That went well.”

“That’s what well looks like when you’re dealing with politicians.”

He leaned back in his chair. “Christian has something to gain from this alliance, but he also has something to lose. If he wants to challenge the president, he’ll need evidence strong enough to survive public scrutiny.”

“And we need the same thing. His records may establish a pattern, but they won’t automatically prove our case.”

“Exactly.”

I looked at the muted television. The president was still standing before the crowd, his expression sorrowful as he accepted their applause. Whatever doubts some citizens might have had about his accusations, he had already given them a story simple enough to understand: two powerful families had become too wealthy, a man had supposedly been murdered, and the president was demanding justice on behalf of ordinary people.

It was a convenient story.

And that was what made it dangerous.

Then something occurred to me.

“Jason, when did the president announce this rally?”

He checked the schedule. “The event was organized several days ago, but the speech’s content wasn’t disclosed beforehand.”

I turned toward him. “And when did we confirm the Wyatts’ location?”

“Yesterday, after you traced the bunker donation back to their accounts.”

I stared at him, feeling my irritation sharpen into suspicion.

“He must have known we were getting close.”

“I think it’s too conventent to ignore. We’ve been investigating the Wyatts, Mr. White, and the president’s connection to the events surrounding my childhood. Then, just as we get a promising lead, he launches a public attack designed to consume every bit of our attention.”

Jason leaned back in his chair. “It could be an attempt to force us onto the defensive. If we’re busy protecting our reputations and our assets, we have less time to investigate him.”

“Exactly. He wants us chasing the accusations, arguing with reporters, and defending the Asher family’s history while the people we’re looking for have time to disappear again.”
