Toppling a Grade II — Full Director like Lynn Graves was no small feat. It required more than just a well-placed word to a patron; it required a structural failure in their political survival.
However, as Ambrose Ward watched Lynn tremble in his living room, he realized that the ledger she had described was more than just a list of names. It was the ultimate gold mine—a "blood pledge" that could either protect a dynasty or incinerate it. If he could secure that book before he arrived at the Provincial Capitol Building, it would be more than just a career move; it would be his "founding share" in the Governor’s trust. A gift for Donovan Bell that would prove Ambrose wasn't just a liaison officer with a pedigree, but a hunter who could pull the rug out from the entire Midlands underground.
