Ch 41
The red emergency strobe lights spun across the ceiling, painting the hospital room in flashes of blood-red shadows.Lily’s heart monitor let out a sharp, continuous warning beep as the digital battery counter dropped down to nine percent.Dr. Wayne gripped his hair with both hands, his legs shaking violently against the floor. "Eight minutes! Lord Architect, the battery is dying faster than the manual said!"Henry did not scream, and he did not show a single trace of fear. He stood tall in the middle of the dark room, his broad shoulders steady and unmoving.His dark eyes turned terrifyingly sharp, glowing with the icy focus of a king preparing for total war. He looked down at Lily’s calm, sleeping face for just one second."Nothing will touch you, Lily," Henry spoke softly, his voice cutting through the blaring alarms like an iron shield.Henry reached deep into his inner suit pocket and pulled out a sleek, matte-black device. It was not a common smartphone; it was an encrypted mili
Ch 40
A heavy thunderstorm rolled over the city, shaking the glass windows with deep, rumbling thunder. Rain poured down from the black sky like a waterfall, washing over the empty streets.Inside the quiet recovery ward of the Vance Sanatorium, the room was warm, clean, and peaceful. Lily lay resting under a soft white blanket on a wide hospital bed.Her breathing was smooth and steady, and a healthy pink glow had returned to her cheeks. The green lines on the heart monitor danced in a calm, regular rhythm.Dr. Wayne stood beside the bed, carefully checking the medical screens with a gentle smile. He adjusted the IV line with steady hands, nodding with deep satisfaction."Her brain waves are so much stronger today, Lord Architect," Dr. Wayne said softly, looking over his shoulder. "Her body has accepted the nutrients, and the swelling in her nerves is almost gone."Henry sat quietly in a simple armchair beside his sister’s bed, holding Lily’s small, warm hand in his own. His dark eyes were

Deep beneath the rocky hills outside the capital, heavy steel doors sealed off a hidden bunker. The cold air inside smelled of damp stone and humming electronics.A giant wall of glowing computer screens lit the dark room in a pale blue haze. Numbers, satellite maps, and live city camera feeds flickered across the glass without stopping.Sitting in a wide leather chair was Victor Vance, the corrupt elder half-brother of Victoria Vance. He wore a sharp charcoal suit and held a silver pen between his fingers.Behind his chair stood a tall man dressed entirely in dark tactical gear. A matte-black mask covered his face, leaving only two cold, emotionless eyes visible.This silent killer was known across the underworld as Shadow-Nine, an elite operative of the Obsidian Syndicate.On the center monitor, green data streams from the Sovereign Vanguard Tender looped over and over. A bright red box locked onto the code that had triggered the military intervention."The digital signature was ver
Ch 38
Hundreds of camera flashes went off all at once, lighting up the marble foyer in blinding white light.Reporters leaned forward in shock, whispering in wild excitement as they pointed their microphones toward Henry. The entire crowd of business leaders held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.Brandon puffed out his chest, smiling like a hungry wolf. He kept his finger pointed right at Henry’s calm face, making sure every single television camera captured the moment."Do not let this fraud fool you!" Brandon barked loudly, his voice echoing off the high stone walls. "He wore cheap clothes and washed pots in the Humpton villa for four years! Now he puts on a fine suit to trick the state!"The journalists began shouting over each other, their voices rising in a noisy storm. "Is this true?!" a reporter yelled into his microphone. "Did he really steal the files from your company?!"Brandon laughed with cruel delight, stepping closer to the cameras. "Every single word is tr
Ch 37
The silence inside the Grand Celestial Hall was heavier than lead.Five hundred of the wealthiest elites in the world stood frozen beside their crystal banquet tables, staring at the shattered white jade tiles beneath Henry’s boots. Nobody dared to breathe. Even the weeping members of the Mo and Qiang families choked back their sobs, terrified that a single sound would draw the Supreme Architect’s eyes toward them.Elena Long stepped forward slowly, her silk heels clicking against the cracked stone. Her face was pale with worry as she looked at the blood-red reflection fading from the dome above."Henry," Elena whispered, placing her trembling hand gently on his sleeve. "Four years ago, when the Mediterranean sea transport went down, the International Maritime Bureau confirmed there were no survivors. How could the Black Serpent have pulled your mother out of the wreckage without your satellites detecting it?"Henry stood motionless, his dark eyes cold and bottomless."Because the rad
Ch 36
The marble tiles beneath Henry’s boots cracked further, sending spiderweb fractures across the center of the white jade stage.Inside the Grand Celestial Hall, not a single billionaire or foreign diplomat dared to breathe. Five hundred elites stood frozen around their banquet tables, staring up at the darkened holographic dome where the image of Henry’s mother had just vanished.On the steps of the dais, Patriarch Mo Zhen lay unconscious in a pool of his own blood. Beside him, Victor Mo was pressed face-down against the cold floor under the heavy combat boot of a Sovereign Guard, his broken teeth staining the jade crimson.Matriarch Bai Hansheng did not dare to lift her head from the floor. Her designer silk robes were soaked with cold sweat as she pressed her forehead against the bottom of Patriarch Long Tianji’s throne."Supreme Architect!" Matriarch Bai’s voice trembled so violently it echoed through the silent dome. "The Bai family swears eternal loyalty to the Directorate! Tonigh
