CHAPTER 135: Resonance in the Womb of Death
The vast hall beneath the Maryland facility vibrated with an extremely low frequency, a hum that could not be perceived by human ears, yet made internal organs feel as though they were being crushed by a giant hand. Dante Moretti stood at the center of the transparent glass floor. Beneath him, thousands of blue-glowing fiber-optic cables pulsed, channeling raw data to every corner of the world. Before him, Maria Moretti sat upon a technological throne, gazing at her eldest son with the pride of a predator admiring its finest creation."You carry an enormous weight on your shoulders, Dante," Maria's voice echoed, perfectly clear without the aid of any speakers. "I can hear your heartbeat from here. It's unstable. There's anger, doubt, and tremendous pain in your temporal lobe. Nova-Echo is consuming you, isn't it?"Dante tightened his grip on the carbon cane. He closed his pale white eyes, allowing his nerves to map the two-thousand-square-meter chamber."Nova-Echo is the fire you lit
CHAPTER 134: Echoes in the Vacuum Corridor
The silence inside The Silent Wing facility now carried a weight capable of crushing the courage of ordinary men.After Maya activated the Zero-Sum Protocol, Maryland's surface power grid was likely descending into chaos. But deep inside this underground bunker, the darkness that remained was pure, calibrated darkness. There was no hum of fluorescent lights, no hiss from air-conditioning vents. Only heartbeats and the movement of air molecules, which to Dante Moretti sounded like bursts of gunfire in the middle of the night.Dante moved forward. His footsteps no longer produced sharp clicks because the soles of his shoes had been coated with vibration-absorbing polymer. Behind him, Elena Rossi held her SIG Sauer assault rifle at the ready while Kael and two elite Rossi operatives advanced in a diamond formation."Boss, the cyber purge is underway," Maya whispered directly into Dante's auditory nerves through a neural transmission. "I just shut down their Sky Eyes network. But Dante, t
CHAPTER 133: Echoes in the Heart of Silence
A thick fog blanketed the Maryland coastline as the Vanguard-01 private jet flew low beneath the range of American coastal radar. Inside the cabin, the lights had been completely shut off, leaving only the crimson glow of the emergency lamps, casting a demonic hue across Dante Moretti’s face. He sat upright, both hands resting on his carbon cane, while his auditory nerves captured increasingly chaotic frequencies as they approached The Oversight’s central headquarters.“The air pressure outside is changing, Dante. We’re passing through Fort Meade’s transmission zone,” Elena Rossi whispered, her voice crystal clear beneath the muted roar of the engines. “You really aren’t going to use Victor’s special ear protection?”Dante slowly shook his head. “If I block my ears, I’ll become blind for the second time, Elena. I need to hear how the air in Maryland vibrates. There’s something wrong ahead of us.”“Boss! You’re right!” Maya’s voice snapped sharply through the communication system. “Wal
CHAPTER 132: Echoes Beyond the Horizon
The rain over Tuscany had begun to ease, leaving behind the scent of wet earth and the sharp metallic smell of blood and battle lingering around the rehabilitation facility. Dante Moretti sat in the back seat of the black SUV as it cut through the fog toward the private airbase in Grosseto. Beside him, Elena Rossi held his hand tightly, feeling how cold his skin had become ever since Maria Moretti’s voice echoed through the intercom.“Dante, you haven’t said a word since we left Sector B,” Elena whispered. “Think about your nerves. Victor said the overload from synchronization is going to destroy you.”Dante turned his face toward the window, though his eyes saw nothing but darkness. “My nerves died a long time ago, Elena. What’s left are sensors that capture lies. Do you hear the vibrations in the air? That isn’t nature. It’s satellite transmission frequencies constantly monitoring us. She... my mother... she isn’t just watching us. She’s listening to how I react to her betrayal.”“B
CHAPTER 131: Echoes in the Valley of Fog
The roar of the Vanguard SUV engine driven by Kael tore through the silence of the mountain roads of Tuscany, creating high-frequency vibrations that traveled straight into Dante Moretti’s auditory nerves. In the back seat, Dante sat with his jaw clenched tight. He no longer cared about the throbbing pain in his ears caused by the burden of Nova-Echo. His focus was locked on a single point now: the weakening heartbeat of Elena Rossi in the distance.“Boss, I just boosted the signal to Elena’s earring!” Maya’s voice rang out in panic through the encrypted channel. “They’re cornered inside the underground wine cellar. Those tactical units... they’re not ordinary mercenaries. They’re using ‘Hush-Quiet’ frequency technology, something that absorbs every gunshot and footstep. Elena’s fighting inside a blind silence!”Dante reached for the neural case beside him. “How far are we, Kael?”“Two kilometers, Dante. I can see explosion flashes on the hillside,” Kael answered. “The road is blocked
CHAPTER 130: Echoes Above the Tower of Authority
The cold Milan rain began streaking across the bulletproof windows of the Rolls-Royce limousine carrying Dante Moretti through the traffic on Via Vittorio Veneto. Inside the soundproof cabin, the atmosphere felt like a vacuum chamber isolated from the outside world. Dante sat back calmly, his fingers tapping softly against the crocodile leather armrest, creating a metronomic rhythm that helped stabilize the pulse of his auditory nerves.“You’re far too calm for someone who just hijacked London’s economy and captured his own father at the bottom of the ocean, Dante,” Elena Rossi broke the silence. She was reloading ammunition into the magazine of her backup pistol, the metallic clicks sounding perfectly rhythmic in Dante’s ears.“Calmness is the only frequency they can’t hack, Elena,” Dante replied without opening his eyes. “Alistair Vane, or whoever currently calls himself my father, is sitting in an isolated medical facility at the airbase. He is an echo that has already been silence
