Admiral David Mercer bared his teeth in a razor-thin, cold line of white bone:
“Every commercial share of Hale Dynamics, the thirty-one-billion-dollar enterprise value, Marcus Hale’s personal factoring accounts in Vaduz, and seventy billion dollars in carried defense reserves reverts in absolute, un-divided fee simple unto Chancellor Natalie Eleanor Mercer!”
“And her designated sovereign foundation in perpetuity!”
“The wife you abandoned on a bathroom floor while kneeling before your mistress... the woman whose dying child you dismissed for a two-hour cocktail toast... is the sole registered fee-simple owner of Conduit Ten, the master sovereign creditor of your entire eighteen-billion-dollar conspiracy, and the Director of Sovereign Continuity for the United States Armed Forces!”

“And under Section Nine of the Rivers and Harbors Act of Eighteen-Ninety-Nine: no commercial lease, no private equity conveyance, and no Swiss defense transfer can be executed without the wet-ink consent of the registered fee-simple owner.”
