Chapter 218Sector 7 - Ground ZeroThe heavy, wedge-shaped Vanguard subterranean drop-ship hovered three feet over the cracked asphalt of Sector 7. It was plated in thermal-resistant tungsten, designed originally for deep-core rescue missions. "The drill is primed, Boss," Joe said from the co-pilot seat, flipping a row of heavy physical switches. "But fifteen miles of solid rock? Even with plasma-cutters, this is going to take us hours to dig through.""We aren't digging, Joe," Adrian said from the pilot’s seat. He didn't touch the flight controls. He placed his bare hands flat against the dashboard. With Kaelen gone and the Root Access keys integrated directly into his Sovereign core, Adrian’s connection to the planet was absolute. He didn't need to punch a hole in the earth; he was the Administrator of the dirt itself. His eyes flared with brilliant, blinding silver and gold light.

The Basement Squatter
Chapter 217"If you stick me with that pin," Adrian Black said, his voice entirely calm, "I will geometrically fold you into a pocket square.""M-my apologies, Administrator," the elderly, trembling Italian tailor stammered, pulling the measuring tape away from Adrian’s inseam as if it had caught fire. "The midnight-blue fabric is simply... resistant. It is unlike any wool I have ever encountered.""It's woven dark matter," Adrian sighed, looking at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror of the estate’s master suite. "It stops high-caliber bullets and orbital lasers. You’re going to need a sharper needle, Giuseppe.""I shall fetch the titanium-tipped shears," Giuseppe squeaked, bowing frantically before scurrying out of the room, clutching his sewing kit like a shield. Joe, lounging on a velvet chaise lounge and eating a bowl of grapes, snorted. "You're terrorizing the working class, Boss. Again.""I am requesting proper tailoring, Joe. There is a difference," Adrian adjusted
Little gods
Chapter 216"If I can't manipulate the room," Adrian growled, his golden-crimson-silver eyes snapping open, "I'll just manipulate myself."He didn't try to lift the mechs with gravity. He channeled the restricted cosmic energy entirely inward, hyper-densifying his own muscular and skeletal structure. He became a three-hundred-pound bullet. Adrian vaulted over the smoking remains of the banquet table and sprinted directly at the nearest synth. The machine tracked him, tracking the rotary cannon down to fire. Adrian slid across the polished marble floor on his knees, sliding directly under the stream of plasma. As he passed beneath the towering machine, he drove his fist upward, channeling a localized, micro-burst of kinetic force directly into the synth’s hydraulic knee joint. The tungsten armor buckled. The hydraulic fluid exploded in a shower of green sparks. The ten-foot synth lurched violently, its leg giving out. As it toppled forward, Adrian sprang to his feet, grabbed the m
The Platinum Trap
Chapter 215Adrian swirled the champagne in his glass. He looked around the room at the watching billionaires, the nervous executives, the sharks circling the bait. "I appreciate the offer, Elias," Adrian said, his voice dropping into a low, echoing register that made the champagne in Thorne’s glass ripple. "But I don't share my toys. And I certainly don't outsource my security to a man who sells discounted plasma rifles to street gangs in Sector 4."Thorne’s face went rigid. The polite veneer cracked. "You are making a mistake, boy," Thorne whispered, stepping closer. The two cybernetic bodyguards tensed. "You think you are invincible because you have a glowing battery in your chest. But you are just flesh and blood. You don't know how this city really works.""I know exactly how it works," Adrian smiled, a terrifying, golden-crimson spark flaring in the depths of his eyes. "And I know that this conversation is over."Thorne stared at him for a long, heavy moment. Then, the CEO too
All That Matters
Chapter 214"I feel like a penguin trapped in a sausage casing," Joe grumbled, violently tugging at the collar of his heavily starched white tuxedo shirt. "You look distinguished, Joe," Adrian Black said, adjusting his own immaculate, midnight-blue Milanese suit in the reflection of the glass elevator doors. "And the Kevlar-weave lining is remarkably breathable. Just try not to flex too hard; I don't want you popping a button and taking out an investor's eye."The glass elevator shot upward along the exterior of the Apex Dynamics Tower, offering a dizzying, glittering view of Sector 1’s skyline. Aethelgard’s commercial district was a neon-drenched paradise of corporate wealth, and tonight, the apex predators of that paradise were throwing a party. "I still don't get why we couldn't just spatial-fold into the ballroom," Joe complained, shifting his weight uncomfortably. "Taking an elevator feels... pedestrian.""Because, Joe, when you fold space into a room, people tend to spill thei
The Biological Eviction
Chapter 213 "You see, Victor," Adrian explained, adopting the same patronizing, clinical tone the doctor had used earlier. "When you told me about the bomb, I just looked inside my own neck. I found the capsule. And the moment you pressed the button, I applied an absolute, zero-gravity kinetic stasis field around the acid."Adrian leaned in close. "The acid is free, Victor. But it can't flow. Its molecules are frozen in space and time, suspended a millimeter away from my spinal cord. You tried to use a chemical reaction to kill me, but a chemical reaction requires kinetic motion. And I own the motion."The four mercenaries, realizing their employer had just been utterly outplayed by a man in sweatpants, began to slowly lower their rifles. They were paid handsomely, but they weren't paid enough to fight a guy who could freeze acid inside his own body. "Drop the guns," Adrian commanded without looking at them. He didn't wait for them to comply. He exponentially increased the localiz
