#Chapter 68 No Remorse

Albert That night, I found myself sitting across from a few government operatives in a discreet, dimly lit office. The atmosphere was tense as we went over the final elements of the plan, including the layout of the Kulak Estate. The operatives were efficient and to the point. Things were going well until Ghost interrupted the flow of things. "You should see this," he said, handing over a file. I opened it, bracing for the worst and found the first page a dossier on Polina, and I could feel my jaw tighten as I skimmed through the documents. The details were damning—Polina’s financial assets were far from clean. She had been involved in a number of under-the-table deals, questionable transactions, and other dubious activities that clearly went beyond mere oversight. And they were recent, active. Some of them had been started around the time she agreed to join me and my cause. Liar. She had never planned to be free of the criminal underworld, just free of her father.
