Chapter 31
Thiago stood before the remaining firearms for several seconds, his eyes moving from one weapon to another.There were precision rifles, specialized firearms, and several other weapons that would have impressed an ordinary buyer.But Thiago had no intention of buying them.In his previous life, he had learned one painful lesson: survival was not about owning the most sophisticated equipment. It was about owning equipment that continued working when everything around you had failed.The apocalypse would not provide clean shooting ranges, dry storage rooms, or comfortable temperatures.There would be mud, floodwater, freezing temperatures, dust, and rust. Constant movement.And eventually, abandoned cities where maintenance facilities, replacement parts, and skilled technicians would become almost impossible to find.Thiago shook his head. "I'll pass on these."Bryan Lee raised an eyebrow."All of them?""All of them."Bryan looked genuinely surprised."You came here looking for weapons

Thiago did not leave immediately.After finishing his discussion about the cold-weather clothing, he remained beside Bryan's counter, silently reviewing everything he had already purchased.The weapons were only one part of his preparations.Food and water could keep him alive, but survival required more than eating and drinking. He needed to see in darkness, communicate over distance, travel through hostile terrain, sleep without exposing himself to the elements, and protect his supplies from water and cold.He looked at Bryan."There are a few more things I need."Bryan raised an eyebrow."I thought you were finished.""Not yet."Bryan picked up his notebook again."Go ahead."Thiago began listing the items."Night-vision goggles."Bryan's pen stopped."How many?""Several."Bryan slowly resumed writing."Military radios.""Several sets.""Anything else?""Low-temperature and moisture-resistant tents. Waterproof sleeping bags designed for extreme cold."Bryan looked up."You weren't

Bryan remained standing behind the counter long after Thiago had left.His eyes were fixed on the closed door.He couldn't shake the feeling that he had just let an extremely dangerous man walk out of his shop.Not because Thiago had threatened him or because he had behaved aggressively.Quite the opposite. He had been too calm.Bryan slowly picked up the notebook containing Thiago's latest order.More than five million dollars.Five million.And when Bryan had casually demanded another five hundred thousand dollars as a deposit, Thiago hadn't even blinked.He hadn't asked for a discount or complained.He hadn't said he needed to check his bank account.He had simply said:"I'll pay it in three nights."Bryan lowered the notebook.Who was this man?He had initially assumed Thiago was simply another wealthy customer who had stumbled into the underground market.But the more Bryan thought about the transaction, the less convincing that explanation became.An ordinary wealthy man didn't

Chapter 34
An hour after Vespera had urged her attorney to investigate Thiago's bank accounts, her phone finally rang. She grabbed it immediately. She had been pacing around the room ever since she gave the order, unable to sit still. Her mind had been filled with possibilities. There had to be more money. She was certain of it. The villa alone was worth a fortune. Thiago had bought it shortly after their divorce, and there were warehouses, expensive equipment, vehicles, investments, and other assets she had yet to discover. But she had never imagined what her lawyer was about to tell her. "Hello?" Vespera answered impatiently. There was a brief silence on the other end. "Mrs. Morgan," the attorney finally said, his voice unusually serious. "What did you find?" "Before I tell you, I want you to prepare yourself mentally." Vespera frowned. "Prepare myself for what?" The lawyer hesitated. "I have gone through the recent transactions connected to Thiago's accounts. I have also checked

The attorney spoke again. "There is something you need to understand, Mrs. Morgan." Vespera immediately looked up. "What?" "The purchase date alone may not settle this." Her eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?" "I have been analyzing the records more carefully. The information available to us suggests that the winning ticket may have been purchased either two days before your divorce was finalized or on the day the divorce itself was finalized." Vespera's heart suddenly began beating faster. "On the day of the divorce?" "Yes." "Then how can you say the money might belong to me?" "Because the exact time of purchase matters." Vespera stood up. "Explain." The attorney cleared his throat. "If the ticket was purchased while the marriage was still legally in effect, even if it was only hours before the divorce became final, there is an argument that the ticket and any resulting winnings could be considered marital property. But if the ticket was purchased after

The moment Vespera ended the call with her attorney, she remained seated for only a few seconds. Her mind was racing. Nearly one billion dollars. The thought was still almost impossible to comprehend. More importantly, there was now a possibility that she could claim a huge portion of it if she could prove that Thiago had purchased the winning lottery ticket before their divorce was finalized. Vespera's fingers tightened around her phone. There was only one person she needed to tell. Leandro. She immediately searched for his number and called. He answered after several rings. "Vespera, what is it now?" His voice was irritated. Before she could say anything, he continued. "Do you have any idea what is happening? Those rumors are still spreading. Every hour, someone else is reposting them. People are talking about you, about me, and about Evren. You told me you would handle this." Vespera frowned. "I know." "No, you don't." Leandro's voice became sharper. "My colleagues are a

Leandro remained beside the window, staring at the city below. His earlier panic had almost completely disappeared. In its place was a strange sense of determination. "Vespera," he said quietly, "you need to understand something. I'm already trapped in a difficult situation." She frowned. "What do you mean?" "The scandal has changed everything." He turned away from the window. "People are talking about me. My colleagues know about the rumors. My family is already dealing with enough problems, and now my name is being dragged into this mess." He rubbed his forehead. "Even if the rumors eventually disappear, my reputation has been damaged. It will be difficult for me to advance any further in this city." Vespera remained silent. Leandro continued. "I've spent years building my career. But I can already see the ceiling above me. People who once respected me are going to think twice before supporting me. Every promotion will come with questions. Every opportunity will come wit

Vespera remained frozen after hearing her attorney advise her to settle with Thiago. A few minutes earlier, she had been dreaming about five hundred million dollars. Now her attorney was suddenly telling her to abandon the fight. It made no sense. "What happened?" she demanded. There was a long silence on the other end. When the attorney finally spoke, his voice carried a hint of regret. "Mrs. Morgan, I was hoping the evidence would support our position." Vespera's heart sank. "What evidence?" "The latest evidence concerning the lottery ticket." Her fingers tightened around the phone. "You found the purchase record?" "Yes." "And?" The attorney sighed. "I'm afraid the evidence is conclusive." Vespera stopped breathing for a moment. "What does that mean?" "The ticket was purchased after your divorce had already taken effect." She stared blankly ahead. "No." "I'm sorry." "No." "Mrs. Morgan, we've obtained surveillance footage from the location where the ticket was

Chapter 40
The news had spread through the community like wildfire.Everywhere people went, they were talking about the Morgan family.At the grocery store, at restaurants, outside homes, even on the streets, the same subject kept coming up."Did you hear?""Of course I heard.""Five hundred million dollars!""They're going to be incredibly rich.""Imagine receiving $500 million just because your ex-husband won the lottery."The story had grown far beyond what Vespera had originally told her family.According to the rumors, Thiago had won approximately one billion dollars after taxes, and because he had supposedly purchased the winning ticket while still married to Vespera, she was expected to receive half.Five hundred million dollars.People repeated the number with fascination.The Morgan family, which had struggled financially for years, was suddenly being treated as though they were already billionaires.Some neighbors congratulated Caius.Others visited Calista.Even Nicola began receiving

Meanwhile, inside the Morgan family home, nobody felt like celebrating anymore.The house that had been filled with excitement only hours earlier had become painfully quiet.Caius sat heavily on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest. Calista sat beside him, staring at the floor. Nicola kept checking his phone, but there was nothing good to read.The community's laughter still seemed to echo in their minds.Five hundred million dollars.They had believed the fortune was almost theirs.Now, not only had the money disappeared from their reach, but Thiago had become wealthier than any of them could have imagined.Worse, he had apparently turned against them completely.A small voice suddenly broke the silence."I'm hungry."Everyone looked up.Evren stood near the doorway, rubbing his stomach."Grandpa, I'm hungry."Caius's face immediately darkened."Can't you be quiet for once?"Evren flinched."But I'm really hungry.""Then go and ask your father."The boy looked confused."Wh
