"What the hell are you doing? Do you know who I am? I need to meet your boss," shouted those wealthy businessmen.


    Debra''s car pulled up outside the club.<fn1d49> Chapters first released on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn1d49>


    Josh walked up to her and handed her a piece of clean cloth.


    She took it, then casually stuffed it into one of the businessman''s mouths. A faint smile yed on her lips as she said, "Mr. Pearson, long time no see."


    Harvey broke out in a cold sweat. Soon, more people were brought into the room.


    Debra took a seat on the sofa and said, "You''re all members of the Illuminati, right?"


    "What Illuminati? Never heard of it," they quickly denied it.


    Debra nodded. "Over the past few days, all your expenses here at the club, including your ''extra-curricr'' activities, should be enough to get you locked up for a while. And those shady assets hidden in yourpanies? Under the localw, that counts as financial crime, doesn''t it? The amount involved is massive. Also, bribery, sex-for-power deals... I''m guessing that''s a death sentence?"


    "Boss, it is the death penalty," Josh replied smoothly.


    Debra smiled. "I know the Illuminati and Fermin have given you all plenty of benefits. But I have no tolerance for scum like you. Take this as a farewell."


    "Please wait." Panic spread through the group.


    They knew what the Houston family''s private army was capable of. And from the way Debra spoke, she clearly wanted them dead.


    She sighed, "Why? You guys have nothing valuable to offer."


    "I''m willing to hand over mypany. Just spare my life," someone said in the crowd.


    The first to crack set off a chain reaction.


    Debra seemed prepared for this. Documents had already been drawn up and were delivered to everyone. Before they could read the fine print, gun barrels pointed at their heads.


    Josh collected the signed contracts and handed them to Debra. After confirming that every document was stamped and sealed, she finally smiled.


    "Alright, gentlemen. I''ll spare your lives, but I don''t allow the Illuminati members to walk free. So, where are your badges?" she said.


    Those businessmen quickly pulled out their badges and threw them onto the floor.


    "From now on, we have nothing to do with the Illuminati."


    "Yes. Nothing at all."


    In Orkgate, Fermin received an urgent update.


    His expression turned grim when he heard the Illuminati''s influence had been wiped out in several key locations.


    His men had been keeping a close watch on Marion. There was no way something like this should''ve happened.
