Plumbing Job 01
Chapter 117 Adrian let out a harsh, bitter laugh. "Are you kidding me? I just spent a week fighting cyborgs, corrupt lawyers, and my own evil clone. I just conquered the city. And now my reward is a plumbing job?""It's not just a plumbing job, Boss," Joe said, walking over to the hologram and pointing at the locations of the three red dots. "Look where these things are."Adrian looked.The first dot was located in the Sunken District—a section of the city that had collapsed into the underground aquifers fifty years ago. It was entirely underwater, a pitch-black maze of flooded skyscrapers.The second dot was beneath the Asylum of the Damned, a maximum-security mental hospital that had been abandoned and sealed shut after a violent riot a decade ago.The third dot was directly beneath the Dead Wastes, the irradiated zone outside the city walls where the mutated scavengers lived."Silas didn't build these nodes in nice neighborhoods," Cora said, crossing her arms. "He buried them wher
Terminal Combustion
Chapter 116The Black Estate - Medical BayJoe woke up screaming.He shot off the medical cot, grabbing a nearby tongue depressor like a combat knife. "Die, clone! Eat plasma, you white-armored freak!""Put the stick down, Joe," Adrian said from the other side of the room with a bored tone. Joe blinked, lowering the tongue depressor. He looked around and noticed that they were in the pristine, white medical bay of the Black Estate.Cora Vance was sitting at a computer terminal, typing furiously with her cybernetic hand.Adrian was sitting on an examination table. He looked terrible. He was shirtless, and his veins, usually completely invisible beneath his skin, were actually bulging and visibly so. It looked like someone had injected him with liquid neon."Did we win?" Joe asked, his voice shaking. "Did you beat him?""Julian is currently trapped inside a five-hundred-pound metal suit in a dark room on the 120th floor," Adrian said, his voice tight with pain. "So yes, we won the fig
The Overcharge
Chapter 115The elevator ride down from the one-hundred-and-twentieth floor of the Spire was accompanied by a soft, generic jazz tune. It was the kind of music you’d expect to hear while waiting for a dental appointment, not while carrying your unconscious best friend away from a paralyzed, power-drained clone.Adrian Black leaned against the mirrored wall of the elevator, panting softly. Joe was slung over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.Adrian looked at his reflection. His leather jacket was torn, his knuckles were bruised, and his jaw was swelling to the size of a baseball. But his eyes... his eyes were the problem.The golden light of the System usually faded when he wasn't actively using a skill. Now, it was bleeding out of his irises, pulsing with streaks of unstable red energy.Okay, he wasn't used to walking around with creepy eyes and it was a little worrisome. "System," Adrian muttered, his voice hoarse. "Power down. We won. You can now go to sleep."[ ERROR. ][ UNA
The Dark Legend
Chapter 114 "Shut up," Adrian muttered to the System, spitting blood onto the marble floor.Julian walked slowly toward him, dragging the tips of the Null-Blades against the ground. They left deep, smoking gouges in the stone."It's poetic, really," Julian said, his voice echoing in the vast penthouse. "You die looking out at the city you thought you could rule. You were never a lord, Adrian. You were just a placeholder until I was ready."Joe popped up from behind a sofa, aiming his rifle. "Hey, lab rat!"“Joe, no!" Adrian warned but it was too late. Julian didn't even look. He casually flicked his wrist. A small, built-in kinetic disruptor on the suit's gauntlet fired a pulse of concussive force. The blast hit Joe square in the chest, throwing him backward into the wall. Joe crumpled to the floor, unconscious."No more distractions," Julian said, standing over Adrian. He raised both Null-Blades for the killing blow. "Any last words, brother?"Adrian looked up at the armored clon
Fight Like a Rat
Chapter 113Adrian frowned. "He's running Silas's dampeners. He's created a dead zone in the penthouse. My gravity manipulation is going to be severely restricted once those doors open.""So, no throwing him out a window with your mind?" Joe asked, gripping his rifle tighter."It means we do this the old-fashioned way," Adrian said, cracking his neck.DING!Floor 120.The silver doors of the elevator slid apart.Adrian and Joe didn't step out immediately and waited.The penthouse was a massive, open-plan space of black marble, glass, and minimalist luxury. The wall-screen was still displaying the annulment decree.Standing in the center of the room, waiting for them, was Julian.He was fully encased in the Apex Mk II armor. The suit was blindingly white, pulsing with pale blue energy lines along the seams. In his hands, he held the twin Null-Blades, their dark, anti-kinetic edges humming with a sound that made Adrian’s teeth ache."You took your time, brother," Julian’s voice echoed
A Proper Welcome
Chapter 112A line of two hundred Iron Guard soldiers stood in riot gear, shields locked and weapons raised. Behind them, two massive, bipedal combat mechs revved their hydraulic engines.Adrian opened the door and stepped out, the crowd around him suddenly went silent. The rioters parted like the Red Sea, falling back as they recognized the man in the leather jacket. Different whispers rang through the plaza. “Lord Black.” "The true heir." “The gravity wizard." Adrian walked forward alone. He didn't draw a weapon. He simply put his hands in his pockets and strolled toward the barricade."Halt!" Commander Vargas’s voice boomed over a megaphone from behind the line of soldiers. "Adrian Black! You are in violation of martial law! Take one more step and we will open fire!"Adrian didn't stop or even bother to slow down."Vargas," Adrian called out, his voice projecting effortlessly over the distance. "Your Mayor is a fraud. Your army is gone. And you are standing between me and m
