The campus exploded with gossip the moment the college newspaper hit the stands.

Harry's photo was plastered on the front page alongside a scathing headline: "Local Student Exploits Wealthy Heiress for Financial Gain."

"Did you see this trash?" Derek called out loudly in the cafeteria, waving the newspaper for everyone to see. "Our scholarship boy has been playing the long con this whole time."

Marcus nodded smugly from across the room. "I told everyone he was a gold-digger. Poor little Alice Anderson, getting manipulated by a professional user."

"The article says he's been leaking private family information to journalists," another student added with obvious relish. "What kind of scumbag sells out the people trying to help him?"

Harry sat quietly at a corner table, listening to the vicious commentary swirling around him. Students who had barely acknowledged his existence were now experts on his character and motivations.

"I heard he's been recording private conversations," a girl fro

    Harry stood in his apartment that morning, showing Alice and Alfred the map he'd marked with the direction his senses were pulling him."The industrial district," Harry said, pointing to the eastern edge of the city. "That's where she is. I can feel it.""Harry, you need to think about this carefully," Alfred cautioned. "You can't just rush into—""I'm going today," Harry interrupted. "I've wasted fifteen years already. I'm not wasting another day.""Then I'm coming with you," Alice said firmly."Absolutely not," Harry replied immediately. "Alice, this could be dangerous—""I don't care," Alice interrupted. "Harry, I've been through danger before. I was kidnapped, remember? I'm not some damsel who needs protecting.""She's right," Alfred interjected. "And Harry, you need backup. If your sister is being held by the people I think are holding her, you can't face them alone."Harry wanted to argue but knew they were right. "Fine. But both of you do exactly what I say. If I sense danger,

    Alfred looked at Harry's face—at the absolute certainty in his expression—and his skepticism faltered. "You really believe this was more than a dream.""I know it was," Harry replied. "Alfred, in my first life, I never had prophetic dreams or visions. But after I was reborn, I gained abilities I didn't have before—the danger sense, the enhanced healing, the strength. What if I have other abilities I haven't discovered yet? What if the connection to Lily—our shared bloodline—is allowing me to sense her somehow?""That's a significant leap in logic," Alfred cautioned."Is it?" Harry challenged. "Alfred, you've seen what I can do. You know I'm not normal. Why is it so hard to believe I might be able to sense someone I'm genetically connected to?"Alfred was quiet for a long moment. "What do you want to do?""I want to test something," Harry said, standing up. "If my healing powers can affect others, if I can sense danger before it happens, maybe I can sense life forces too. Especially so

    Harry was pulled into sleep despite his racing mind, exhaustion finally overwhelming his body. But the sleep that came was unlike anything he'd experienced in either of his lives.The dream started simply enough—darkness gradually giving way to a dim, sterile light. But then the scene sharpened with unnatural clarity, more vivid than any normal dream.He found himself standing in a small, windowless room with white walls that seemed to press inward. Medical equipment lined the walls—monitors, IV stands, machines Harry didn't recognize. The air felt cold and clinical.On a narrow medical bed in the center of the room lay a young woman.Harry's breath caught. She had long dark hair, matted and lifeless against the pillow. Her features—the shape of her eyes, the line of her jaw, even the way her ears curved—were strikingly similar to his own. She looked to be in her early twenties, thin and pale, her skin almost translucent under the harsh fluorescent lighting.She was curled up despite

    "In business circles, Marcus Thornfield is known as 'The Vulture,'" Michael explained. "He targets successful mid-sized companies, destroys them through market manipulation and corporate espionage, then buys them for pennies and strips them for parts. He's ruined dozens of businesses and thousands of lives.""How does he get away with it?" Harry asked."Because he's careful," Michael replied. "Everything he does is technically legal. He exploits loopholes, uses shell companies, hires the best lawyers. By the time anyone realizes what's happening, it's too late.""Then we'll have to be smarter than his previous targets," Harry said with determination. "Michael, I'm not letting some corporate raider destroy what my father built. We'll fight back.""I hope you're right," Michael said, though he looked doubtful. "Harry, I've seen what Thornfield does to people who oppose him. It's not pretty."That evening, Marcus Thornfield sat in his penthouse office, a satisfied smile on his face as he

    Harry sat in the executive conference room at TechNova, trying to focus on the meeting ahead despite his exhaustion.He'd gotten eight hours of sleep for the first time in days, but his mind was still consumed with thoughts of Lily and the pattern of kidnappings he'd uncovered."Harry, are you with me?" Michael Chen asked, concern evident in his voice."Yes, sorry," Harry replied, forcing himself to focus. "You said this Marcus Thornfield requested an urgent meeting?""Demanded, more like," Michael corrected. "His assistant called yesterday saying Mr. Thornfield had a business proposal that required immediate attention. I tried to postpone, but he insisted it couldn't wait.""What do we know about him?" Harry asked."Marcus Thornfield, fifty-eight years old, CEO of Thornfield Industries," Michael read from a file. "His company has stakes in pharmaceuticals, technology, real estate, energy—basically everything. Net worth estimated at twelve billion dollars.""And he wants to meet with

    "I don't know," Harry replied, not looking up from his computer. "Alice, I'm close to something. I think I've found a pattern in the kidnappings. If I can just—""Harry, stop," Alice interrupted, crossing the room to kneel beside his chair. "Look at me."Harry finally turned, and Alice could see the guilt and pain written across his face."You need to rest," Alice said gently. "You're destroying yourself.""I don't deserve rest," Harry replied bitterly. "Not while Lily is out there somewhere, probably suffering, probably thinking I abandoned her. I failed to protect her, Alice. I was her big brother and I failed.""You were ten years old," Alice said firmly, taking his hands. "Harry, you were a child. What happened to Lily wasn't your fault.""I looked away," Harry's voice broke. "For two minutes, I looked away, and she was gone. If I'd just been paying attention—""Then you would have been traumatized watching armed men kidnap your sister," Alice interrupted. "Or worse, you would hav
