The Fall of Noah Bennet
Chapter 1 : “The Fall of Noah Bennett” Noah woke up to the sound of Tara yelling somewhere down the hall. Again. Same routine, She was upset about something or someone and it was always relating to him . He didn’t even roll over to know what the problem was , Months of sleeping alone had made the bed feel like a cage he could barely move in. Tara had stopped performing her matrimonial duty as his after the first year of their marriage recently she even stopped sleeping in the room with him. “ Noah ! Noah ! Noah! Where is that bastard “ She screamed , walking towards the room . “You call this clean?” Tara’s voice shrieked. “I told you I needed the car ready! And it’s not here! Do you even try to do anything well , why are you useless?”Noah pressed his hand against his face and muttered, “I delivered it yesterday evening. I finished all the orders…”“Orders? What orders? The car isn’t here, Noah!” She stomped toward the hallway. “You’re a piece of shit !” She screamed again From b
The Banquet of disgrace
CHAPTER 2 — “THE BANQUET OF DISGRACE”Noah woke up with his head pounding. His eyes opened slowly, and the first thing he noticed was the ceiling. It wasn’t the hallway ceiling. It wasn’t outside. It was the guestroom.He frowned and sat up a little.“How… did I get in here?” he whispered.He didn’t remember walking inside. He didn’t remember anything after… the card. His gaze moved to the bedside drawer. The metallic card sat there, It was not glowing and not moving , his head sounded quiet too , As if last night never happened.Noah rubbed his face and sighed. “Maybe I was more tired than I thought.”It wasn’t new, he had strange nights, memory gaps, waking up somewhere he didn’t expect. His life was a blur half the time anyway.Before he could gather himself, Tara’s sharp voice came from the hallway, he took a deep breath to prepare himself .“Noah! Get up! We’re leaving in thirty minutes!”“Yes,” he replied quietly, he didn’t dare to ask where they were going. He got dressed quic
The Card Awakens
CHAPTER 3 — “THE CARD AWAKENS”Noah slipped back into the hotel’s back stairwell and let the heavy door fall shut behind him. The noise from the hotel faded instantly, leaving only the hum of the old fluorescent light above his head. He sank onto the cold step, breathing slowly as he pulled the metallic card from his pocket.The faint red glow was still there. He turned it over in his hand. “What exactly are you?” he murmured, as if the card could hear him.The glow sharpened. Before Noah could blink, the light burst outward like a spark leaping from metal. It shot up his arm with a jolt that made his breath catch. His vision blurred, and for a moment, it felt like the stairwell vanished completely.A voice echoed inside his head it wasn’t not loud and didn’t sound human either, it was the voice from last night and it was clear enough to make his spine lock.“Memory transfer initiated.”Noah gripped the railing beside him, but the world was already dissolving around him. Images flo
The First Warning
CHAPTER 4 — THE FIRST WARNINGNoah walked home with the card hidden under his shirt, but the closer he got to the Lewis mansion, the more uneasy he felt. It wasn’t the normal quiet of the house, it wasn’t normal after such an event like the banquet they just had that everywhere looked so quiet , He stopped before he entered the house and studied the area. The whole mansion looked frozen, He looks everywhere but Tara car wasn’t in the driveway maybe she was spending the night at her new lover’s home . When he entered, he understood why.Mr. Lewis was sitting in the center of the living room like he’d been waiting for something or someone, he guessed maybe it was him and because he wanted to punish him for what happened at the Banquet but there was also two unfamiliar men in dark suits stood on either side of him. They didn’t look like drivers or regular staff. Their posture was too stiff and their eyes moved like they were trained to notice everything, it was such an awkward environ
The Black Vault Unlocked
CHAPTER 5 — “THE BLACK VAULT UNLOCKED”Noah left the mansion before dawn , he made sure everyone was still asleep before sneaking out, The card was projecting a location in his head and he was to trace it , The streets were empty and quiet, but his mind wasn’t. He kept a slow pace, hands in his pockets, he kept on looking behind him , scared that someone was following him , his eyes on the ground as the strange coordinates pulsed at the back of his mind. The card felt heavier than any object he’d ever held, as if every step he took was dragging him toward something he wasn’t prepared for.“An abandoned facility,” he muttered under his breath. “Of course.”He reached the outskirts of the city just as the morning fog settled. The area was deserted, it was just cracked concrete, rusting pipes, and a storm drain that looked like it hadn’t been touched in years. The coordinates pointed directly to it.“Great,” he whispered. “Very welcoming.”He pushed aside the metal grate. A faint mechani
The First Counterattack
CHAPTER 6 — “THE FIRST COUNTERATTACK”Noah ran through the narrow service tunnel as the vault alarms blared behind him. The metal walls shook from heavy boots pounding toward the entrance. He didn’t look back. He kept moving until he reached the surface, slipping out through a broken pipe that spat him into an empty drainage trench.He took a breath and paused for a while .“Mercenaries,” he murmured. “So they already sent people after me.”He wiped dirt from his clothes and stepped onto the sidewalk like a man returning from a morning jog instead of a hidden bunker. Cars were passing and People walked by. No one knew armed killers were searching for him underground, he just looked like any ordinary man . He slipped his hands into his pockets and kept walking.“Well,” he whispered, “if they want to hunt me… I guess it’s my turn to respond.”It was time to plan his first attack . By late morning, Noah approached a tall financial building in the business district. He walked in through
The chaos within the Lewis empire
CHAPTER 7 — “THE CHAOS WITHIN THE LEWIS EMPIRE”Noah entered the mansion , he immediately fixed his expression to the same one the Lewis family expected from him. He slipped off his shoes and kept his head lowered. The living room felt tense,there was loud voices bouncing all over the place before he even walked in. “ What are we going to do !!!” “ Are we going to go bankrupt?” “ You all calm down please …i am trying to think “ Noah heard several voices as he walked in . Tara’s father stood near the staircase, his face was red, he was obviously furious.“There you are,” he snapped. “Where have you been?”“Working,” Noah murmured. “ What work ? “ Tara yelled at him . “ You ordered me to join the cleaning team …remember?” “ Ohh that …did you scrub the floor well ?”“ Yes “ He replied his head bowed. Tara’s father stepped closer, jabbing a finger at him. “You were at the financial building today, weren’t you?”“Yes, sir. I was cleaning, I was assigned to that area and that wa
The Turning Point
CHAPTER 8 — “THE TURNING POINT”Noah woke up on his own and not with Tara who any of The Lewis family yelling at me , The house was quiet , Mrs Lewis had fainted when she heard the state of what was going on and Tara was with her in the hospital, Mr Lewis locked himself in his study room , trying to figure out what was going on and how he could solve it , the weight of everything Noah had done pressed lightly on his chest, it was not out of fear, but in a strange satisfaction. For the first time since the stranger handed him that mysterious card, he felt the ground shifting in his favor. “ What a great day to be Noah Bennet “ He smiled stretching out his legs . He spent the early hours sending the encrypted files to a secure channel, watching each document disappear into the cloud. When he hit “release,” he knew there was no turning back. By the time the city was fully awake, the storm had already begun.News reports exploded across every screen.“Illegal transactions uncovered.”“
The Hunter Arrives
CHAPTER 9 — “THE HUNTER ARRIVES”The mansion went dark without warning.One second, every chandelier and lights were illuminating the house . The next, the entire estate dropped into absolute blackness, as if someone had pressed a switch . “ Noah !!Noah !!Noah !!” Tara called out from the other hallway but he ignored , he was calculating his next move, Was this what the card warned him about ? he was wondering . “ Where is that bastard !Go and check with the security what’s going on “ He heard Tara’s father call out but he still ignored . Noah froze on his chair , his hand stroking his chin . His body was shaking , he wasn’t actually scared but he felt like something was going down tonight and it was because he felt it. Silas Vulton was here.The hunter had come.Noah slipped a hand into his pocket and pressed the card flat against his palm. It vibrated once. “HOSTILE BREACH CONFIRMED.” “ So he came ….” Noah opened his room door and stepped out . In the darkness, there was sc
The Fall of The First Family

Reporters shouted questions at anyone who stepped out of a vehicle. “ We are here live at The Lewis Family Mansion…As you can see the whole place is crowded “ “ The Lewis Family , one of the biggest and most influential family in the country reduced to nothing within a blink of an eye , Investigators also found incriminating evidence….” “ We are all gathered here to witness and bring to you the arrest …it’s a shocking news, very shocking “ Several reporters and youtube streamers were all talking at once , it was chaos . The mansion that once stood as a symbol of power now looked like a sinking ship, It lost his value , Ordinarily it was a restricted area but today everyone was running in different directions with more panic and no sense of order. “ Noah!” Tara screamed from inside.
