Julian didn't blink. He calmly slipped the platinum card back into his breast pocket and pulled out a slim, encrypted tablet.
"I didn't come here to argue about reputation, Evelyn," Julian said, his voice terrifyingly steady. "I came to collect on an overdue invoice."
He tapped the screen of the tablet, instantly syncing it with the massive projector screen mounted above the main stage. The corporate logo of Horizon Trust flickered, replaced by a detailed, real-time forensic accounting ledger titled: AUDIT REPORT: SHELL CORP DIVERSION – 100% VERIFIED.
The room fell into an absolute, suffocating silence.
Marcus spun around, staring up at the screen as rows of confidential wire transfers, offshore account numbers, and his own signature appeared in crisp 4K resolution.
