As soon as Zara raised the question, everyone present there gasped, and silence took over the place that was followed by mockery and laughter.

Lucas’ face drained of all color. The mocking voices of the guests rang louder in his ears with each passing second.

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. He had spent days hunting down what he believed to be the most convincing replica of the famed crystal ball,hoping to pass it off as a rare collector’s item and impress Zara.

And when it was fallen by Nathen, he was happy that he would not only get the compensation for that in an amount he never expended, but Zara would also apprise his choice without even getting to look at it or knowing that it was fake. But nothing goes according to his plan, as Nathan has not given him a single penny and Zara also saw the gift with her eyes and instead of getting fooled by it, she had publicly exposed the gift as a fake, holding the cracked and cloudy object between her fingers with a smirk.

    The Syndicate lieutenant’s intel was an entire map of his confessions.There were hidden vaults, strange energy surges, two distinct pulses confirmed by rebel seers and artifact readers.Two rings, and two fronts to manage. Nathan had no time to debate, and stayed behind to stabilize rebel alliances.Volkov, who was already fraying at the seams, had been dispatched east.Harper and Miko went south.______Eastern Ukraine, near Pripyat…The wind howled through shattered concrete shells of the dead city. Volkov stepped over the scorched rebar, his boots crunching bone-dry frost. The radiation here had faded decades ago, but the memory of catastrophe still clung to the ruins like a ghost.Behind him, two Syndicate enforcers checked their perimeter, but Volkov ignored them. He could feel it… there was something deep underground, humming in frequencies only his frayed mind could interpret.The Ring of Null pulsed against his spine like a second heart.He muttered as he moved, twitching fi

    The memory of Marvel’s battle clung to Nathan long after he left the vault. The resonance technique haunted him, not just because it worked, but because it required empathy even in battle. Dominion wasn’t just about force, it was about the weight of the decision.Now, as he descended into the rebel base’s lower tunnels, that lesson loomed large.A Syndicate lieutenant had been captured near the outskirts, one of Marion’s field commanders. Not just a bureaucrat. A man who had ordered entire villages disappeared.Interrogation was expected… but Nathan had another method.______The underground cell was little more than concrete, rust, and recycled air. Fluorescent lights flickered like dying fireflies. A single metal chair was bolted to the floor beneath a thin beam of light. The man was seated inside; mid-thirties, lean, blood drying at his temple, didn’t speak. His hands were cuffed, his eyes were cold. Nathan stepped into the room alone… no guards, no restraints, just the ring.“Nam

    Zurich had fallen quiet behind them, but Nathan carried its echoes through every corridor of the monastery. Ethan was humiliated. The Syndicate’s grip on biotech had slipped. But Nathan couldn’t shake the cold certainty behind Selene’s warning: they were still hunting the Seventh Ring.And he needed answers from deeper than any scroll could give.That night, Tenzin led him through a carved stone passage in the eastern wing, sealed with warded iron and elder runes that hummed faintly when Nathan approached.The ring on his hand pulsed like a heartbeat.Only blood could open what came next._____The hidden vault was carved under the oldest roots of the monastery, a cavern carved before language had names for light. The chamber shimmered faintly with ring-forged glyphs, etched into obsidian pillars that reached skyward into shadow. Six archways, each inscribed with a different ring’s symbol, surrounded a raised platform in the center.But only one responded to Nathan.Dominion.Tenzin

    The rain still clung to Nathan’s boots as he stepped into Imperium’s field war room. Selene’s intel was real; the Syndicate’s push for the Seventh Ring was accelerating, but Marion wasn’t banking on occult relics alone. They had weaponized capital.Across the Atlantic, Ethan Reed was already in Zurich, trying to absorb CeraCore under an umbrella of proxy firms. If he succeeded, the Syndicate-backed biotech would sweep the black market.But Nathan didn’t need to be in the room to burn their plans to the ground. _____Zurich’s Titanium Pavilion shimmered beneath a crystalline winter sky. The annual Biotech Futures Summit, hosted at its panoramic top-floor hall, glittered with translucent wall-panels, kinetic architecture, and wealth. CEOs, journalists, and research magnates whispered in eleven languages as glasses clinked and holograms flickered through the air.Ethan Reed moved among them like royalty. He wore Imperium-blue cufflinks—a mocking echo of the company he’d once schemed to

    Harper’s words… “We’re not afraid of you anymore” rippled across every feed. In rebel cells and Syndicate war rooms alike, the footage fractured narratives that had ruled unchallenged for years. Even as Nathan watched it from a dim corner of the safehouse, he knew the backlash would be swift. The Syndicate wouldn't bleed quietly. So when the motion sensor at the perimeter gate flashed crimson, no one moved lightly. ——— Rain fell in dense sheets across the pine-thick ridgeline where the safehouse clung to the mountainside. The perimeter alarms had been silent for hours—until now. Nathan stepped out into the storm, Dominion ring warm against his skin, flanked by Miko with a pistol at her hip and Harper just behind, rifle raised. A figure staggered into view, barely more than a silhouette in the dark. Lightning split the sky, revealing a woman in a torn infiltration suit, one arm cradling the other where blood slicked her side. She moved with the grace of someone trained not to fal

    The ancient scrolls still echoed in Miko’s mind as she left the monastery’s archive chambers—words about legacies, betrayal, and a coming reckoning. But there was no time for reflection. A red-coded alert crackled to life on Nathan’s secure channel before she even stepped into the sunlit courtyard.“Block 47 in Sector Gray,” Harper’s voice said, sharp with urgency. “I’m closest. I’ll handle it.”Miko’s breath caught. Sector Gray wasn’t just hostile—it was Syndicate-occupied. And Harper was already en route.______The city block had been a civilian quarter once—clean streets, overhead rails, schoolyards now abandoned. But now it was a no-man’s land of blown transformers, smoking barricades, and flickering signage over collapsed buildings. Drones buzzed like carrion over broken towers. Somewhere, a child was screaming.Harper landed in silence, her black ops boots sliding over shattered glass as she dropped from the rooftop via a rusted fire ladder. She didn’t wait for backup.
