The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 615

Sebastian leaned back against the plush sofa, a tablet balanced in his hands.

Night had already fallen outside. Only a few lights were on in the sprawling villa, leaving the warm glow of a single floor lamp to cast his face in sharp contrast—one side illuminated, the other steeped in shadow.

Seth stood on the opposite side of the coffee table, holding his phone, having just finished his report.

"Logan's fund lost over a billion dollars today alone. That AI company's stock was cut in half, trading was halted, and it's guaranteed to plummet again when the market opens tomorrow." Seth's tone was entirely professional, but a faint gleam of adrenaline sparked in his eyes—the thrill of pulling off a massive strike and knowing there was more to come.

Sebastian didn't even look up, his finger casually swiping across the screen. "It's not enough."

Seth watched him expectantly.

"These are just flesh wounds," Sebastian murmured calmly. "Logan has been in the game for decades. He can afford to lose a billion. If we're going to strike, we go straight for the jugular."

Seth waited.

Sebastian set the tablet aside and settled deeper into the cushions. "Doesn't he have a dedicated smuggling route?"

Seth's fingers twitched slightly. "You mean... the line from Luxembourg to the Middle East?"

"Exactly. The goods ship out from Africa, transit through Luxembourg, and finally enter the Middle East. It's listed as 'specialized logistics,' but we all know what's really moving through those containers."

Sebastian tapped his fingers rhythmically against the armrest.

"Report it."

Seth blinked in surprise. "Report it?"

"An anonymous tip. Hand over the route, the schedules, the cargo manifests—everything you can dig up. Don't give them the whole puzzle, just half. Let customs piece the rest together themselves." Sebastian's voice was soft but carried absolute authority. "When is his next shipment due?"

Seth calculated for a second. "Next week. Port of Luxembourg."

"Then we hit him next week. Once the shipment arrives, customs will seize it. He'll default on the delivery, and his buyers aren't the patient type."
