The heavy silence inside the concrete room hung like thick smoke. Nancy stared up at the woman in uniform, her lower lip trembling as the words slowly sank into her mind, heavy and real.

"So..." Nancy asked slowly, her small voice cracking under the weight of the realization, "my mom... she really is a criminal?"

"The best of the best," Phyna answered, her voice dropping into a low, sharp tone that cut straight to the bone. "A ghost. A nightmare. But you..." Phyna stepped closer, her shadowy f

    "I am deeply sorry, sir," Phyna said simply, her tone completely flat, masking every single emotion trying to claw its way out of her throat. "I had no idea the operation would cause such a high-level disturbance.""YOU HAD NO IDEA?!" the Director bellowed, his voice cracking with disbelief. "You're a Commander! It is your job to know! It looks to me like you are very eager to lose your badge, your rank, and your freedom! Where is the girl, Phyna?!"The Director stepped even closer, his shadow falling over her desk."Take me to where she is right now!" he demanded, his voice dropping into a strict, terrifying threat. "I want to see her with my own eyes unless all hell breaks loose!"Phyna’s mind raced as the Director’s heavy breathing filled the oppressive air of her office. The red emergency lights cast long, bloody shadows across the walls.If she gave in right now, if she opened that hidden holding cell, marched Nancy out, and placed her in the Director's corrupt hands, she knew ex

    The rear passenger door of the lead limousine flew open. A tall, thick-set man in an expensive charcoal suit stepped out into the damp air. His face was twisted into a deep, furious scowl that made even the hardened fortress guards step back into the shadows."Welcome, Director—" the local station captain began, stepping forward to bow his head.The Director didn't even look at him. He ignored every single officer, technician, and guard who tried to greet him, shoving past them with cold, arrogant disgust. He marched straight toward the elevators, his heavy leather shoes clicking loudly against the polished floorboards like a ticking time bomb.Up on the primary office level, Phyna left the interrogation wing and walked swiftly down the long glass corridor toward her personal office to receive him. Her heart was pounding, but it wasn't out of fear. It was out of pure, simmering hatred.She hated the man. She had met the Director only once before, three years ago during an agency gala

    The heavy silence inside the concrete room hung like thick smoke. Nancy stared up at the woman in uniform, her lower lip trembling as the words slowly sank into her mind, heavy and real. "So..." Nancy asked slowly, her small voice cracking under the weight of the realization, "my mom... she really is a criminal?" "The best of the best," Phyna answered, her voice dropping into a low, sharp tone that cut straight to the bone. "A ghost. A nightmare. But you..." Phyna stepped closer, her shadowy figure blocking out the harsh red emergency light, "...you are going to help me take her down." Before Nancy could digest the horrifying thought, the heavy steel door of the interrogation room burst open with a loud, echoey clang! Phyna spun around on her heel, her dark eyes flashing with immediate anger. "What the hell is your problem?!" Phyna retorted, her voice echoing off the concrete walls. "Can't you see I am busy in here?!" The young tactical officer standing at the door looked terrifie

    Phyna stared at her, completely motionless, processing the words. "Everything went black," Nancy continued, her voice trembling as she remembered the icy horror. "When I finally woke up... I wasn't at school. I was locked inside a freezing industrial meat locker at the old harbor. I was shivering, bleeding, and freezing to death. I didn't know why I was there. I managed to break the lock and escape into the streets, but... but then I got taken again. By Tina's dad. Chairman Colton." Nancy looked up at Phyna, her eyes wide with innocent, desperate truth. "He brought me to his mansion. He had a syringe... he was going to poison me so I wouldn't talk about what his daughter did to me. That's it! That's all I know! I don't know anything about my mom's past! I was just trying not to die!" The interrogation room fell into a heavy, suffocating silence. The low hum of the fluorescent light overhead suddenly felt agonizingly loud. Phyna stood frozen beside the table, her jaw slightly sl

    "Shut the hell up!" Phyna’s roar cut through the cold air of the interrogation room like a whip, instantly snapping the last thread of Nancy’s composure. Phyna stepped into the harsh circle of light, her eyes burning with pure, unadulterated venom. She leaned forward, placing both of her gloved hands on the metal table, getting so close that Nancy could smell the gunpowder and rain lingering on her uniform. "Look at me, girl!" Phyna demanded, her voice dropping into a harsh, raspy whisper. "This is the absolute truth, whether your little teenage brain wants to accept it or not! Your mother is not who she says she is! She is a dangerous, cold-blooded criminal! A monster who has killed dozens of people, erased entire lives, and left a trail of bodies across this country!" Nancy shrank back into the hard metal chair, her chin trembling as tears pooled in her eyes. "N-No... she's my mom..." "She is a killer!" Phyna barked, slamming her fist onto the table. The sharp BANG echoed off

  • CHAPTER 1040

    A sharp, static hiss echoed from the small metal speaker mounted in the room's top corner.A cold, mocking cackle burst through the audio feed, rattling off the concrete walls."Hello, little girl," Commander Phyna’s voice hummed over the speaker, sounding distant, sinister, and completely in control. "What is your name?"Nancy swallowed hard, her chest heaving as she stared into the dark mirror. "N-Nancy..." she whispered weakly. "Please... let me go. I'm just a high school student! I haven't done anything wrong! I just want my mom!"Over the speaker system, Phyna let out a slow, dark chuckle that sent a freezing chill straight down Nancy’s spine."Your mom..." Phyna mused, her tone dripping with quiet cruelty. "Tell me, Nancy... how much do you actually know about your sweet, loving mother? Do you have even the slightest idea about her past... or the absolute monster she really is?"The metallic cackle echoing from the ceiling speaker died down into a low, buzzing static, leaving th
