The Encrypted File
The following morning, Aurora returned to its usual rhythm, but Raiden had no intention of treating the previous night as an ordinary incident.Mileena had spent the night in one of the private rooms upstairs under constant security. She had insisted that she was ready to return to work, but Raiden had refused. After everything that had happened, he was not willing to let her walk back into the hotel as though nothing had occurred.When Mileena came down that morning, she found Raiden in the lounge with a cup of coffee beside him.“I heard you told Gerard I am not allowed to work today.”Raiden looked up from his tablet. “You were kidnapped yesterday.”“I am aware of that.”“Then you understand why,” Raiden said.Mileena sat across from him. She still looked tired, but the fear from the previous night had faded from her expression.“I wanted to thank you,” she said quietly.Raiden put the tablet down. “You don't need to.”“I do.” Mileena held his gaze for a moment. “You came for me wh
Narrow Escape
For several seconds, no one moved.Marcus stared at Raiden as if he could not quite believe the man was standing in front of him. Johny had warned him that Raiden had escaped, but the call had come only a short while ago. Even if Raiden immediately began searching for Mileena, Marcus had expected to have more time.Yet Raiden was already here.“Step away from her,” Raiden repeated.Marcus slowly moved away from Mileena, his shock giving way to anger. “How did you find this place?”“You left more traces than you thought.”Marcus frowned at the answer, but before he could question him further, more people come in. More men were already moving through the corridor outside, securing the rooms they had passed.Raiden walked directly toward Mileena.“Are you hurt?”Mileena shook her head. She had tried to remain composed since being abducted, but the sight of Raiden and Gerard finally allowed some of the tension to leave her face.“No.”Raiden looked her over briefly to make sure she was te
The Rescue
Raiden staggered out of the service tunnel and into the night air, his breathing still uneven from the effort of escaping the facility. He had no idea where he was, and his body was barely cooperating with him anymore. The fight at the warehouse had already pushed him to his limit, and whatever had happened inside that strange facility had left him with little strength to spare.He made his way along the roadside until he spotted a small convenience store still open late at night. Raiden pushed through the glass door, drawing a startled look from the cashier.“Sir, are you alright?”Raiden ignored the question for the moment and looked toward the counter. “Can I borrow your phone?”The cashier hesitated at the sight of his condition, then handed him the store phone.Raiden dialed the only number he could remember. The call was answered almost immediately.“Hello?”“Gerard. It’s me.”“Young Master Bolt?”“I need you to pick me up.” Raiden glanced outside the window, trying to identify
The Hidden Facility
Raiden could barely feel his legs.The temporary enhancement had already ended, leaving his entire body in a state of exhaustion he had never experienced before. Every movement sent pain through his muscles, and his breathing remained heavy as he stood among the men surrounding him. He knew he had reached his limit, yet he still forced himself to stay upright and observe the people in front of him.Then he recognized one of them.Raiden's eyes narrowed. He had seen the man before among Johny Randal's people."Randal Group," he said quietly.The man's expression changed for a moment before he gave a cold smile. "You recognize us."Raiden's suspicion was confirmed. Johny had been behind the trap from the beginning.He had barely enough strength left to react when the men moved toward him. Two seized his arms while another struck him from behind. His vision immediately began to blur, and although he tried to resist, his weakened body could no longer keep up with his will.Just before con
Missing
Gerard stood in the middle of the warehouse, staring at the aftermath of the fight with a growing sense of unease. The place had been turned upside down. Several men were unconscious across the concrete floor, metal racks had been knocked out of place, and the walls bore marks from the struggle. Judging from the damage alone, Raiden had clearly fought his way through a considerable number of attackers. What Gerard could not understand was where he had gone afterward.“Young Master Bolt!” he called, his voice carrying through the empty building.Nothing came back.Gerard immediately ordered the security team to search every part of the warehouse, including the offices, storage rooms, loading areas, and rear entrance. If Raiden had managed to escape during the chaos, there had to be some indication of which direction he had taken.While the team spread through the building, Gerard remained near the center of the warehouse and examined the floor. He soon noticed a small black fragment am
Ten Minutes
The message appeared before Raiden's eyes just as another attacker charged toward him.[Temporary Physical Enhancement unlocked.][Physical Output: 10×][Duration: 10 minutes.]Raiden barely had time to process it before the man swung at him. He raised one hand and caught the attack. The difference was immediate.Only moments ago, Raiden had been struggling to keep his exhausted body upright. Now, the strength in his arm felt completely different. The fatigue that had weighed down his muscles seemed to retreat, replaced by an overwhelming surge of power.The attacker tried to pull his arm free. He could not. Raiden twisted his wrist and sent him crashing to the floor.The surrounding men hesitated, clearly caught off guard by the sudden change. Raiden did not give them time to recover. He moved forward, and the skills he had inherited through Legacy finally worked together with a body capable of supporting them.His movements became faster and more precise. His strikes carried enough
