Chapter 499 – Ghost Codes and Shadow Steps
Chapter 499 – Ghost Codes and Shadow StepsSterling’s Office – EMCThe office smelled of leather, paper, and the faint, lingering burn of Scotch.Mr. Charles Sterling sat in his high-backed chair like a monarch surveying his dominion. A glass of whiskey glinted in his hand, his knuckles paler than usual. His eyes were fixed on the window, where the skyline shimmered under early dusk. Not peaceful. Restless.Williams stood across from him, shoulders rigid, coat still damp from the rain."Crash their servers," Sterling said, voice smooth, cold. “EMC’s entire data spine. Not just a breach—I want flames.”Williams didn’t flinch. “Won’t that draw federal eyes?”Sterling took a slow sip, savoring the silence that followed. “Let them look. By the time they understand what happened, we’ll be two moves ahead.”Williams gave a single nod.Then his phone buzzed in his pocket.He checked it quickly, shielding the screen.Sasha:Movement confirmed. Kai’s operative near Santorini safehouse. Awaitin
Chapter 498 – Orders and Omens
Chapter 498 – Orders and Omens Location: EMC Headquarters, London The thunder outside rumbled like warning drums, shaking the windows of the EMC headquarters. Rain slapped against the glass, fast and heavy. Inside the private operations wing, the lights flickered under the pressure of a system reroute, but James Wane didn’t notice. He stood alone, pacing back and forth, deep in thought. His phone was still in his hand, still warm from the call with Lana. Her voice had come through in a whisper, but it had hit him like lightning. “There are cameras,” she had said. “In the bedroom walls.” That was all he needed to hear. He ran a hand through his hair and looked over at Gregor, who stood a few feet away, calm as ever. “Kai’s there,” James muttered, his voice low and dangerous. “Or someone working for him.” He turned sharply to face Gregor, his jaw clenched tight. “You’re flying out tonight.” Gregor’s eyebrows lifted slightly, but he nodded. “What are the rules?” James didn’t he
Chapter 497– Shadows in the Frame
Chapter 497– Shadows in the FrameAlisha’s heels struck the polished marble like gunshots—sharp, decisive, relentless. The glass walls of Carter Comb’s innovation wing shimmered under the sterile lights, but she was anything but comforted. The hum of servers beneath the floor gave the air a buzz, a heartbeat of its own—too calculated, too controlled.She found Liam Cross at the far end of the lab, standing before a wall of monitors displaying flickering graphs and satellite feeds. He was alone, sleeves rolled to his elbows, his signature grin painted on like a mask.“You’re testing EMC protocols in active zones now?” she asked without preamble, voice cold as the chrome railing beside her.Liam didn’t flinch. “Progress waits for no one, Alisha. Least of all ghosts.”“And civilians?” she pressed, stepping closer. “You’re bouncing electromagnetic chaos through live cities. This isn't progress. It’s reckless.”His grin faltered, like ice cracking under weight.“You’re not cleared for this
Chapter 496 – Shadows and Shifting Allegiances
Chapter 496 – Shadows and Shifting AllegiancesEMC – Alisha’s WarningThe fluorescent lights of EMC’s HR corridor buzzed faintly as Alisha Carl walked briskly past the data archive wing, the sound of her heels echoing like gunshots on polished floors. Her palms were damp despite the air conditioning, and a folded slip of paper burned against her fingertips like it might combust if held too long.She spotted Ana Nguyen near the elevator bay, speaking with an IT analyst. Ana’s ponytail bobbed as she gestured toward a security report on her tablet, her focus intense.Alisha exhaled.Now or never.She passed close, muttered a soft, “Excuse me,” and slipped the folded note into Ana’s hand as their fingers brushed. It was fast—barely perceptible to anyone watching. She didn’t break stride, eyes straight ahead, pulse racing.Ana blinked, surprised, but her instincts kicked in. She pocketed the note as if it were just a receipt
Chapter 495 – echoes in the café
Chapter 495 – echoes in the café santorini – The café was tucked beneath a sloping alley in oia, its façade wrapped in bright bougainvillea, half-hidden from the casual tourist. Inside, it was nearly silent—no soft jazz, no chatter, just the ticking of a vintage clock and the distant echo of waves crashing below the cliffside. Lana stepped inside. her bracelets clinked softly with each measured movement, betraying the nervous thrum beneath her calm expression. The air was thick with roasted espresso and tension. She spotted Williams seated in the far corner—alone, back to the wall, a single cappuccino untouched before him. he didn’t rise as she approached. He simply watched her with that same practiced smirk that had unnerved countless boardroom adversaries. “you’re early,” he said, voice smooth like polished glass. Lana didn’t sit. “Why am I here, Williams?” he g
Chapter 494 – Triggers and Traps
Chapter 494 – Triggers and TrapsCarter Comb The pristine skyline of Carter Comb’s headquarters offered no comfort as Liam Frost hurled a crystal tumbler across his office. The sound of shattering glass echoed like a gunshot, shards scattering over the polished wood floor.His breath came in tight bursts. Red with fury, he glared at the tablet on his desk—the paused playback screen showing Cara Hart’s recorded conversation with Eric Carter.“He tried to frame you,” Eric had said, voice low but clear.“Liam doctored those emails.”“We’ll go public if we have to.”Liam slammed a fist down, cracking the tablet’s corner. “You’re done, Hart,” he growled through gritted teeth. “You want war? You got it.”He picked up his phone, dialing a familiar number—Williams’s burner.No answer.“Damn it,” he muttered.Then his door creaked.Cara Hart, white-knuckled and pale, stood there in a fitted bla
