Previously: A ruthless CEO tried to bulldoze a historic clock tower for a new development, only to discover its elderly owner held a secret that would shatter his empire.

Vance, accustomed to instant compliance, reacted with explosive impatience. With a swift, violent motion, he swatted at the antique case, intending to send it crashing to the polished marble floor. But Samuel’s reaction was instantaneous, a lifetime of honed reflexes kicking in. His hand darted upward, intercepting Vance’s descending wrist with a grip like an iron vise. The sudden, jarring stop sent a jolt up Vance’s arm, his breath catching in his throat as his pupils dilated in stunned disbelief. The slap of leather against wool echoed the sharp intake of Vance’s breath.

“Unhand me before my security guards break your geriatric neck!”

Vance hissed, his voice strained with fury. Samuel, however, remained unfazed. His weathered thumb, with deliberate precision, found Vance’s radial nerve. The pressure was excruciating, forcing Vance’s trembling knees to buckle slightly, his arrogant posture faltering. Vance was trapped, not by brute force, but by the quiet, devastating power of an old man’s knowledge.
