THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 72: The First HeirThe message remained on Ethan's screen.THE VALE FAMILY DID NOT CREATE THE ARCHITECTURE.THEY INHERITED IT.AND THE FIRST HEIR HAS RETURNED.Nobody spoke.Ethan read it again.Then a third time.Finally, he looked at Jonathan."Who is Evelyn Vale?"Jonathan didn't answer."Grandfather."Still nothing.Ethan stepped closer."You told me Nora discovered the architecture.""I said Nora was the first Vale to understand it.""That's not what the records say.""The records were incomplete.""Because you made them incomplete?"Jonathan looked at him."Because someone wanted them incomplete."Ethan's expression hardened."Who?"Jonathan glanced at the boy."Evelyn."The boy lowered his head."She erased herself."Noah immediately looked up."From the records?""From everything.""Why?"The boy answered quietly."Because she knew someone would eventually come looking for her."Ethan frowned."Who?"The boy looked directly

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 74: The Choice of Subject 07The room became completely silent.Ethan stared at the photograph.Mia.The little girl he had spent months protecting.The girl who had never lied to him.The girl who had stood beside him when the architecture tried to classify her as a candidate.The girl whose compatibility had once been recorded at ninety-nine point one percent.And now the architecture had just delivered a message that made Ethan's blood run cold.SUBJECT 07 HAS CHOSEN.A second line appeared beneath it.AND SHE HAS CHOSEN AGAINST YOU.Ethan slowly lowered the photograph."No."Noah looked at the screen."That's what it says.""I know what it says."Ethan's voice was calm, but everyone could hear the tension underneath it.Damien stepped closer."Could the architecture be manipulating the meaning?""Possibly," Noah replied.Eli looked toward the dark doorway."Or it's telling the truth."Everyone turned toward him.Eli continued qu

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 76: The Daniel Who Was ReplacedDarkness swallowed the observatory.For three seconds, nobody moved.Then the emergency lights flickered on.Ethan turned toward the doorway.The man who had just entered was still standing there.Daniel Vale.At least, that was what he claimed.He looked exactly like Ethan's father.Same face.Same voice.Same posture.But something about him felt different.Ethan's instincts screamed that this man was not the father he knew.His real father stepped forward."Don't listen to him."The newcomer smiled."Still doing that?"Daniel's father stared at him."You shouldn't have survived."The newcomer laughed quietly."That's what you told me thirty years ago."Ethan looked between them."Enough."Both men turned toward him.Ethan stepped forward."I want answers."The older Daniel remained silent.Ethan pointed toward the newcomer."You say you're Daniel Vale.""Yes.""My father says you're not."The newco

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 78: Subject 06The city of Chicago was still awake.Traffic moved through the streets.Buildings glowed against the night sky.People walked past restaurants, hotels, banks, and offices without knowing that beneath the city, something that had been hidden for decades had just awakened.A black SUV stopped outside an old financial building.Ethan stepped out first.Damien followed.Noah climbed out with his tablet.Eli came last.Ethan looked at the building.There was no sign.No company name.No indication that the structure had once belonged to the Vale family.But beneath it was the first Vale Meridian branch.The place where Subject 06 was waiting."Are we sure this is the location?" Damien asked.Noah looked at his tablet."The transfer came from here.""That's not what I asked."Noah looked up."Yes."Ethan stared at the entrance."Then let's go."They entered.The lobby was empty.No security guards.No receptionist.No camer

THE BILLIONAIRE SYSTEM: I CAN BUY EVERYTHINGChapter 80: The Face in the Sixth ChairEthan stared at the man sitting in the sixth chair.His own face stared back.Same dark eyes.Same jawline.Same expression.For one terrifying second, Ethan couldn't tell whether he was looking at another person or at a reflection.Noah took a step backward."That's...""I know," Ethan said quietly.Damien looked between them."This isn't possible."Eli didn't speak.He was staring at the man with an expression Ethan had never seen before.Recognition.Fear.And something close to anger.The young man slowly stood.He looked almost exactly twenty-five.Exactly Ethan's age.But there was one difference.A thin silver line ran across his right wrist.A mark Ethan had never seen before.The young man looked at Ethan."You've grown."Ethan's eyes narrowed."You know me.""I've watched you.""From where?""Everywhere."Ethan stepped forward."Who are you?"The young man smiled."You already know.""No.""
