“We don't wait for him to strike,” I told David and Detective Miller, who had patched into an encrypted conference call from their respective headquarters.
“What’s your play, Ethan?” Detective Miller asked, his voice sharp and focused.
“Julian thinks he’s operating in the shadows of Zurich, untouchable by domestic law enforcement,” I replied calmly. “But he made one critical mistake. When he wired funds to Amanda’s burner accounts last month, he used a shell corporation registered under his personal Swiss passport number. My forensic team just decrypted the banking routing logs.”
David chuckled on the other end of the line. “And because of international financial crimes treaties we updated last year, that’s all we need to trigger an Interpol red notice.”
“Do it,” I commanded. “Freeze every single offshore asset Julian owns, seize his Swiss accounts, and coordinate with international authorities to have him detained before he wakes up.”
By 6:00 AM, the counter-offensive was set in motion. While Julian’s PR machine prepared to launch their fabricated smear campaign across global media networks, international cyber-crime units moved in on his Zurich penthouse.

His smear campaign dissolved into dust before it even reached the public eye. The final pillar of the conspiracy had crumbled.
