THE BILLIONAIRE THIEF
His movements slowed, his arms felt like lead, and the enforcers, who had been struggling against his strength, now found it surprisingly easy to hold him. A wave of dizziness washed over him."What... what did you do?" Nolan mumbled, his voice slurring. The rage was still there, but it was being smothered by a rising tide of unconsciousness. His knees buckled.Then, the world tilted. Nolan’s eyes rolled back in his head, and his body went limp. He collapsed forward, caught by the enforcers, his breath leaving him in a soft sigh. The powerful, furious man was now a dead weight in their arms. He was unconscious."Get him out of here!" Zephyr Kaine, now free from Nolan’s grasp and looking shaken, snapped at his enforcers. He moved away from Nolan’s limp form, brushing down his suit with a visible shudder. "And make sure he pays for this. Severely."The enforcers began to drag Nolan away, but then Mael Vox, who had been a silent observer until now, moved with startling speed. He s
RAGE UNLEASHED
Nolan launched himself at Zephyr Kaine, with a force of raw, unbridled fury. He moved with a speed born of pure adrenaline and festering resentment. The first enforcer stepped in, a hulking figure attempting to block Nolan’s path, but Nolan, fueled by months of simmering rage, didn’t hesitate. He ducked under a wide arm, his shoulder slamming into the enforcer’s midsection with surprising force, knocking the wind out of him. The guard stumbled back, grunting, momentarily thrown off balance.Nolan was already past him, his eyes were locked on Zephyr. "You thief! Give it back!" he roared, his voice was hoarse with emotion. He grabbed Zephyr by the lapels of his sleek suit, pulling him forward with unexpected strength.Zephyr, startled and thrown off guard, stumbled, his tablet clattering to the ground. "Nolan! What are you—" he began, with a voice that was laced with shock."My money! My life's work! You stole it, you snake!" Nolan cut him off, shaking him violently. The fabric o
NO REST FOR THE BROKEN
Nolan walked out of the assembly hall, with the faint applause echoing behind him. Mael Vox moved silently by his side, it was a dark, watchful presence. The fresh air, though still recycled and conditioned within the Syndicate’s vast complex, felt different. It was a release, a moment of reprieve from the suffocating grandeur of Mrs. Virella's chamber. The 10 BTC credit vibrated in his company wallet, a tangible sign of his recent, bewildering success. He had faced the Triune, had surprised them with his defiance, and had walked away with a significant reward.But the temporary calm was a thin veneer over a simmering volcano. As they navigated the labyrinthine corridors of the Phantom Syndicate, Nolan’s mind wasn’t on the contest, nor on Virella’s cryptic words. It was singularly focused on one name, one burning obsession: Zephyr Kaine.The rage, which Nolan had carefully hidden beneath a calm exterior from when he first saw Zephyr Kaine, till his time with the Triune, up until
RED WINE WITH SECRETS
Nolan stopped just a few feet away from her. His eyes were calm, but focused. His voice was low, but strong.“I want to thank you,” he said.Virella raised an eyebrow. “Thank me?”“Yes.” Nolan nodded. “This contest… it woke something up inside me. Something I had forgotten for a long time.”“Oh?” she asked, folding her arms.“I’ve spent years trying to build my own coin,” Nolan continued. “Testing. Failing. Trying again. I believed in it… but this contest reminded me why I started in the first place.”Mrs. Virella said nothing for a moment. Then she tilted her head. “And what does that mean for you?”“It means I have seen through my loss, and I have taken out positives from the contest and my little time knowing you, everything.” Nolan said. “However, that being said, I need to step away from the Phantom Syndicate. At least for now. I have to attend to some issues within my company. I have indeed had quite an introduction into this association.” He chuckled lightly.Some gasps sounde
ALMOST WASN'T ENOUGH
The umpire’s hand stayed in the air for a second longer than anyone expected. Silence held the room in its grip, the numbers were still glowing bright on the twin displays.NOLAN’S AEGISCOIN: $15,000MRS. VIRELLA’S DOMINIONLINK: $15,000Then the umpire finally spoke, his voice was steady but loud enough to reach every corner of the chamber."After careful review and verification of the simulation data," he said, "the winner of this contest… is Mrs. Virella."The room didn’t erupt.There was applause, yes, but it was weak. Scattered. Like it came more from politeness than excitement. A few people clapped with energy, mostly those close to Mrs. Virella’s camp, but the rest stayed seated, murmuring quietly to one another.Some couldn’t believe it. Others were still processing.A tie. Yet a winner.The display didn’t lie, though. A small line of fine print appeared beneath the numbers.DominionLink reached $15,000.47. AegisCoin: $15,000.00.Just forty-seven cents.Mrs. Virella let out
CODE WAR: THE FINAL ROUND
The clock on the chamber wall ticked on, each second was a heavy hammer blow against the silence that had fallen, broken only by Nolan's rhythmic tapping. An hour had passed since Nolan’s screens first flickered to life with real-time value. It was an hour of constant, focused work, driven by the quiet intensity that had always defined him. He was a sculptor of code, and Project Aegis, his masterpiece, was taking shape with breathtaking speed.The initial murmurings of awe had given way to a stunned quiet, punctuated by the occasional gasp or choked exclamation. The dignitaries, once poised and analytical, now leaned forward in their seats, with their eyes glued to Nolan’s display. It was a spectacle, an unfolding miracle of technology that defied everything they thought they knew.Nolan’s fingers, tireless and precise, continued their dance across the keyboard. He was deep in the zone, lost to the world, guided by the familiar hum of the green journal’s wisdom. Each line of cod
