THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 12: The Man in the PhotographEthan stared at the photograph on his phone.Daniel Vale.Alive.The image had been taken only hours ago.For three years, Ethan had imagined countless possibilities.His father could have died.He could have escaped.He could have been imprisoned.He could have abandoned them.But none of those possibilities mattered anymore.Daniel was alive.And someone knew exactly where he was.Ethan zoomed in on the photograph.Daniel was standing outside an old building.Behind him was a faded sign.NORTHRIDGE MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER.Ethan immediately searched the name.The result appeared.Facility closed: 11 years ago.Adrian looked over his shoulder.“That place has been abandoned for years.”“Then why was my father there tonight?”“I don't know.”Ethan opened the photograph again.Something caught his attention.A small symbol was painted on the wall beside Daniel.A circle surrounding the number five.05.“

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 14: The Secret of the Cross FamilyThe Cross family mansion was unusually quiet.Adrian entered through the main doors with Ethan behind him.Neither of them spoke.Victor Cross was waiting in the study.He stood beside the large window, his hands behind his back.For a moment, he looked like the powerful CEO the entire city knew.Then Ethan noticed something different.Fear.Not panic.Not weakness.Fear of something he had spent years trying to bury.Victor turned.“Adrian.”“Dad.”Victor's eyes moved to Ethan.“You brought him.”“He knows about Project Omega now.”Victor's expression hardened.“I told you to stay away from it.”Ethan stepped forward.“You knew my father.”Victor didn't answer.“You knew Daniel was alive.”Still nothing.Ethan's voice became colder.“And you knew about me.”Victor finally looked directly at him.“Yes.”Adrian stared at his father.“You knew Ethan was tested?”Victor sighed.“I knew about the proje

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 16: The Original FacilityThe city was still asleep when Ethan left the Riverside Observatory.Elena had disappeared before he could ask another question.Her final warning continued to echo in his mind.Don't let him tell you who you are.Ethan looked at his phone.Adrian was still unreachable.He called again.Nothing.Then his system activated.[HOST 05 SIGNAL DETECTED]Distance: 18.7 milesDirection: North-EastEthan's eyes narrowed.“So you want me to find you.”He started the car.The system displayed another notification.[MISSION UPDATE]Locate the Original Project Omega Facility.Current Progress: 12%Estimated Reward: $150,000,000Ethan drove into the darkness.An hour later, Ethan arrived at the coordinates.There was nothing there.Only an abandoned industrial complex surrounded by a rusted fence.He stepped out of the car.“This is it?”The system responded.[LOCATION CONFIRMED.]Original Project Omega Facility.Ethan w

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 18: The Man Behind the MaskThe warning remained on every screen.DO NOT TRUST DANIEL VALE.Ethan stared at the words.Then he looked at his father.Daniel didn't move.“Who are you?” Ethan demanded.The hooded figure stepped forward.“I could ask you the same question.”Ethan's eyes narrowed.“You know exactly who I am.”“Yes.”“Then take off your mask.”The figure laughed quietly.“You're still impatient.”Marcus suddenly stepped between Ethan and the figure.“Ethan, we need to leave.”The hooded figure raised a hand.Marcus froze.Not because of fear.Because he physically couldn't move.Ethan's system immediately reacted.[UNKNOWN ABILITY DETECTED.][ANALYZING...][ABILITY TYPE: SYSTEM INTERFERENCE.]Ethan's expression changed.Someone had just interfered with Marcus's body using technology—or something connected to the system.Adrian stepped beside Ethan.“What is happening?”Ethan didn't answer.The hooded figure looked at Adr

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 20: The Choice Daniel Made“He chose you for it.”Adrian's words hung in the darkness.Ethan stared at him.Then he looked at Daniel.“Is that true?”Daniel didn't answer.That silence was enough.Ethan's expression hardened.“You chose me?”Daniel stepped forward.“Ethan, listen to me.”“No.”Ethan raised a hand.“For three years, I believed you disappeared because someone betrayed you. I believed you were trying to protect me.”“I was.”“Then why was I part of Project Omega?”Daniel looked down.“Because I thought I could control the outcome.”Marcus suddenly entered the room.“You couldn't.”Daniel turned sharply.Marcus continued.“You knew exactly what Project Omega was designed to do.”“I knew what they wanted it to become.”“And you still brought your son into it.”Daniel's face tightened.“I didn't bring him into it.”Marcus shook his head.“You signed the authorization.”Ethan froze.“Authorization?”Daniel closed his eyes.
