Chapter 779
"Cynthia, if you can hear me, do not trust the man who calls himself your grandfather."The voice echoed throughout the chamber.Antonio immediately moved closer to Cynthia, placing himself between her and the screens.Her face had lost its color."That is my mother's voice," she whispered.Antonio held her hand."Are you sure?"Cynthia nodded slowly."I would recognize it anywhere."Her mother had been dead for decades. Cynthia had been too young to understand the circumstances surrounding her death, and the few relatives who remained had refused to discuss it. She had grown up believing that her mother had died from a sudden illness.Now, a voice claiming to belong to her dead mother had emerged from a system that had supposedly been destroyed.Nothing about her past made sense anymore.Antonio turned toward his grandfather."What have you done?"The old man shook his head."Nothing.""Then why are you afraid?""I'm not afraid."Antonio glanced at his trembling hands."Your hands di

Every screen in the chamber lit up.Across the world, hidden Hale accounts reopened. Private security networks came online. Dormant corporations resumed operations, and encrypted communication channels that had been silent for decades suddenly began transmitting.Antonio watched the screens in disbelief.He had destroyed Project Hale.He had watched the system erase its records and release everyone it had controlled.Yet within seconds, everything had returned.His grandfather stood calmly in the middle of the chamber, looking as though he had merely arrived for a family meeting.Antonio's jaw tightened."You."The old man smiled."That's no way to greet your grandfather.""You've been dead for years.""According to the records, yes."Antonio glanced at the preservation chambers.One had once been labeled with David Hale's name. Others contained members of the Hale family whose identities had been hidden from the world.He finally understood why his grandfather had never been found."

Cynthia stared at her future self."Me?""Yes.""How?"The older woman swallowed."Because you discovered the truth.""What truth?"The older Cynthia looked at Antonio."That the Hale system was never created to protect the Hale family."She paused."It was created to protect something else."Antonio frowned."What?"The woman looked toward the floor."The world."Everyone became silent.David laughed bitterly."Don't believe her."The older Cynthia turned sharply."You knew."David's smile disappeared."You knew what the system was designed to protect."David looked away.Antonio stepped toward him."Tell me."David remained silent.Antonio grabbed his collar."Tell me!"David finally looked at him."The Hale empire was never the real project."Antonio froze."What?"David spoke slowly."Project Hale was a cover."Antonio's grip loosened."Cover for what?"David looked at the glowing symbols beneath the babies."For the thing buried underneath this hospital."A deep sound suddenly ca

Antonio moved toward Cynthia.The older woman raised her hand.Every weapon in the room lifted by itself.Antonio stopped.The woman looked at him with tears in her eyes."I'm sorry."Then she said the words that made Antonio's blood turn cold."One of these children must die."Cynthia screamed."No!"The system responded immediately."DECISION REQUIRED."Antonio stepped forward."Nobody is dying."The older Cynthia looked at him."That's what I said too."Antonio froze.She lowered her hand."And I failed."Behind them, the chamber doors slammed shut.The floor beneath the two babies began to glow.A countdown appeared.10:00Antonio stared at it.Then it began moving.09:59.09:58.09:57.Antonio stared at the countdown.His entire body went cold.Cynthia held their son tightly against her chest while Elena clutched the second baby."No," Cynthia whispered.The older Cynthia stood motionless.Antonio turned toward her."You said you failed before."She nodded."Tell me exactly what

Antonio did not move.Neither did Cynthia.The woman standing at the chamber entrance looked exactly like Cynthia, except for the years written across her face.Her hair was longer. There were faint lines around her eyes. Her expression was calm, almost painfully calm.But there was no mistaking her.Elena had described her.The woman who had appeared with the second baby.The woman who had told Elena to protect the child.The woman who had looked at Antonio's father and said she had to stop him.Cynthia slowly stepped forward."Who are you?"The woman smiled."You already know.""No," Cynthia said firmly. "I don't."The woman looked at the two babies lying together in the center of the chamber.For the first time, something changed in her expression.Pain.Then she looked back at Cynthia."My name is Cynthia Hale."Everyone froze.Antonio's father stared at her.David Hale's face went completely pale."No," he whispered.The woman looked at him."Hello, David."David took a step back

The fourth account came alive.Every light in the chamber exploded at once.The darkness lasted only a second.Then a deep blue glow spread across the floor.It formed a circle around Antonio, Cynthia, and the two babies.Edward Voss stepped backward.“What is that?”David looked at the floor.“The protection protocol.”Edward's expression changed.“You said it was inactive.”“It was.”David looked at Cynthia.“Until she arrived.”Antonio glanced at his wife.“Cynthia?”She looked equally confused.“I don't know what is happening.”A voice filled the chamber.It was not David's.It was not human.FOURTH ACCOUNT ACTIVATED.The crowd fell silent.Then another message appeared above them.FINAL AUTHORITY: MATERNAL CHOICE.Edward's face hardened.“Take her.”The armed men raised their weapons.Antonio stepped forward.“Try.”They fired.The bullets stopped in midair.Every single one.They hung motionless inside the blue circle.Antonio stared.Cynthia gasped.David smiled faintly.“The s
