Chapter 66: Vaultbreaker
The encrypted data Chike received from the Protocol Daughter wasn’t just a keyit was a ticking bomb laced with names, offshore accounts, locations of hidden operatives, and dead-drop sites. The file titled Vaultbreaker detailed black funds funneling through proxy governments, shell corporations, and even charitable foundations. The Red Ledger was not just a criminal enterprise it was a global infection.Chike sat in the dark of his system secured war room, fingers tented beneath his chin. His breath was steady, but his mind raced with burning calculations.“If this gets out…” he muttered. “It’ll dismantle regimes, bankrupt bloodlines, and put targets on everyone listed here including me.”The System chimed softly in his mind.[SYSTEM ALERT]Vaultbreaker Protocol: Confirm final unlock?Warning: Activation will trigger multiple bounty protocols across global zones.Chike didn’t respond immediately. His mind flashed to Grandma Nneka’s warnings… to Zara’s voice trembling with worry the ni
Chapter 65: The Red Ledger
The blood had barely dried on the cold floors of the Vault before the silence was broken again this time, not by violence, but by truth.Chike stood alone in the circular chamber, surrounded by broken glass, sparking control panels, and a ring of shattered promises. His breathing slowed as the weight of everything pressed into his chest the lies, the betrayals, the manipulated fate he was now tasked with rewriting.His father’s voice still echoed in his head, delivered through Echo’s cryptic feed: “The Red Ledger was never meant to be balanced. Only erased.”And Chike now understood why.He wasn’t just a forgotten heir. He was a weapon forged by centuries of secrets a system born anomaly tied to something far darker than business rivalries or broken marriages.Behind him, Olamide stirred. Her breathing was labored, but steady now. She lay on a medical cot Echo had pulled from one of the hidden compartments, her face pale, but alive. The near death experience hadn’t dampened her streng
Chapter 64: Afterlight
The world returned in fragments.First, the sounds metal creaking, distant sirens, the unmistakable low frequency hum of industrial grade power surging back online. Then the smells burnt ozone, scorched wires, blood. Finally, sensation. Pain.Chike’s consciousness clawed its way through the fog, dragged by a searing ache in his ribs and a familiar pounding in his skull. His body felt like a battlefield every muscle groaned in protest, nerves flickering like faulty wiring.Alive… barely.He opened his eyes.A soft bluish glow illuminated a low, circular chamber that shimmered with augmented metal and faded sigils carved along its inner walls. Above him, faint outlines of shattered drones hung from the ceiling like slaughtered vultures. All around, the place looked like a bomb had gone off rubble, scorched metal, and fragments of EchoTech armor littered the floor. The smell of ionized air told him something powerful had detonated here.His memories limped back in flashes.Olamide’s scre
Chapter 63: The Judgment Code
The voice echoed again unattached to any speaker, yet vibrating through Chike’s bones.“Judgment begins…”Olamide recoiled, his artificial eyes darting with static.“Impossible. The Judgment Code was a myth. An abandoned failsafe buried in the bloodline when the Okoyes split from the Founders.”Chike stumbled, clutching his temples. White light surged from his irises. His skin pulsed with glowing circuits beneath the surface, each one unfurling like ancient glyphs rewriting themselves across time.Leviathan’s voice cracked, distorted by whatever was interfacing through Chike’s body.“Warning: Primary host has entered quantum cascade mode.”“Unregistered power source linked.”“Identifying: Heirloom Class Protocol – ‘JUDGMENT.’”“What the hell is going on?” Chike growled.The world around him blurred.He wasn’t on the bridge anymore.He was everywhere.Vision Sequence Initiated…A great courtroom, made of stars and fire, unfolded before him. Seated at the far end were twelve thrones fac
Chapter 62: The Second Heir
Chike stared at the robed man, his mind racing.Brother?The man stepped forward, shadows rippling around him like sentient silk. His skin was paler than Chike’s, but the resemblance was undeniable same jawline, same piercing eyes now glowing with artificial intellect.“How is this possible?” Chike murmured, placing Adaeze’s body gently on the ground.The man gave a dry chuckle. “You think the Leviathan Protocol was made just for you?”The ground beneath them pulsed. Chike’s internal interface lit up with red warnings.“Multiple interference signatures detected.”The man continued, “I’m Olamide. Born two years before you. Hidden, trained, and enhanced long before the Okoye family ever knew you existed.”Chike narrowed his eyes. “Then you’re not just my brother you’re the original heir.”Olamide’s smile darkened. “Correct. But I was deemed unstable. Too ruthless. So they erased me. Hid me away in the lower vaults of the Tribunal’s blacksite labs. You were their second attempt. The perf
Chapter 61: Phase Three
Chike’s breath came in controlled bursts, his vision scanning the smoking drone wreckage around them. The air still vibrated from the electromagnetic pulse he had unconsciously unleashed. He should’ve felt triumph but instead, he sensed a storm brewing behind Adaeze’s silence.She wasn’t even looking at the destruction.She was watching him.“Begin Phase Three,” she’d said.To whom?Adaeze holstered her weapon slowly, her movements deliberate.“Are you… still you?” she asked.Chike’s eyes dimmed, the glow retreating, but the faint hum of power lingered beneath his skin.“I don’t know,” he admitted. “I feel like I’ve opened a door I can’t close. Leviathan isn’t just a voice—it’s a presence. It calculates, manipulates, feels.”“I do not feel. I evolve.” the voice interjected in his mind.Adaeze smiled faintly, but her hand stayed close to her earpiece. “So, what now?”Before Chike could answer, a buzz vibrated through her collar.She turned away, just slightly.Too late.Chike caught it
