It was just past midnight when the heavy doors of Tariq Khyber’s mansion groaned open.

Farouq Khyber stepped into the marble foyer, his coat was wet from the soft drizzle outside.

His boots echoed on the tiles as he walked in, carrying a small black case under one arm.

Tariq met him halfway across the room, his expression was tight.

“You have it?” he asked.

Farouq nodded, holding up the case. “All of it. Every encrypted file. System blueprints. Backup security logs. And... code fragments of the Quantum Veil.”

Tariq’s eyes sharpened. “No trackers?”

“I swept it twice,” Farouq replied. “And I removed the physical tag. They won’t trace this.”

They moved into Tariq's private study, where the dim lights made the room feel like a den of secrets.

The air smelled of old books and the faint hint of sandalwood incense. On the long oak table at the center, Tariq had already prepared two laptops and a small quantum decoder.

He had everything prepared and both Tariq and Farouq were ready for wha

  • THE MERGER AND MENACE

    But I’ve decided to make a big move myself. I’ve decided to form a merger between our companies.”Jayden’s eyebrows shot up. A merger? That was a bold step, a strategic consolidation of power and resources. He immediately saw the wisdom in it. It would streamline operations, reduce competition, and create a formidable force in the market.“That’s incredibly smart, Uncle Chris,” Jayden said, with a genuine admiration in his voice. “A merger… that makes perfect sense. It’ll make us even stronger, more resilient. We’ll be able to tackle bigger projects, expand into new territories faster.”“Exactly my thinking,” Uncle Christopher said, his voice was firm with satisfaction. “It’s about consolidating our strengths, Jayden. Combining our resources, our talent, our market reach. We’ll be a force to be reckoned with, even more so than we are individually.”Jayden nodded, even though his uncle couldn’t see him. He was already picturing the possibilities, the new ventures they could pursue t

  • THE BREAKTHROUGH

    The cool air of the high-rise suite seemed to hum with a new energy as Jayden waited. He had just gone through something heavy, a dark cloud hanging over him with the news of Vincent Arceneaux’s cruel trick. But now, Uncle Christopher’s voice held a different kind of spark, hinting at something good.“Well,” Uncle Christopher said, clearing his throat, “speaking of business. I’ve got some news for you.”Jayden sat up straighter in the armchair. His mind was still reeling from the talk about David Chen, latched onto the possibility of something positive. “From Neovalle?” he asked, his voice was sharper with anticipation.“Yeah,” Uncle Christopher confirmed, and Jayden could almost hear the smile in his uncle’s voice.“What is it?” Jayden asked quickly, leaning forward, the glass of water was forgotten in his hand.“It’s about Helios Enterprise, your company,” Uncle Christopher began, and Jayden’s heart gave a little hopeful thump. “Things are absolutely booming in Neovalle, Jayden.

  • WAR LEVEL MOVES

    It was just past midnight in a high-rise hotel suite in downtown Westwood. The city below pulsed with electric life, shimmering like scattered diamonds strewn across a velvet blanket. The windows stretched from floor to ceiling, offering an unfiltered view of the metropolis. But Jayden wasn’t looking at the skyline.He sat alone in the VIP lounge of the suite — sleek, ultramodern, and dimly lit — a glass of mineral water in one hand, and his phone pressed tightly to his ear. The silence was broken by a faint crackle, the line stabilizing just as a voice came through — stern, familiar, and edged with concern.“Jayden,” came the voice of Uncle Christopher. “What’s going on? You said it was urgent.”Jayden’s jaw tightened. He leaned back in the armchair, his shoulders were stiff, his eyes were still fixed on the dark glass. His reflection stared back faintly — tired eyes, tousled hair, and the weight of decisions that couldn’t be taken back.“Yeah,” he said. “It’s about Vincent Arcene

  • INVISIBLE HANDS, MISSING TRILLIONS

    Jayden turned to Stella, his gaze was heavy with the weight of his suspicion. "I think I know what we are dealing with here.""What is that?" Stella asked, her voice was hushed."There's a huge chance Vincent Arceneaux hexed him," Jayden stated, his voice was low but firm. He gestured subtly towards David Chen, who was still lost in the struggle to recall his elusive memory. "He made him transfer that astronomical amount."Stella's brows furrowed, with a deep frown settling on her face. "Hexed him? Why would Vincent Arceneaux do such a thing? What would be his motive?""Come on, Stella, have you forgotten?" Jayden countered, with a hint of weariness in his voice. "This is Westwood. Every family does whatever they can to make money, especially with their superpowers. The Arceneaux family just like any other power family with their notorious history of using less-than-ethical means to expand their influence, would jump at such an opportunity. Most powerful families in Westwood are kn

  • TRIGGERS AND TRUTH

    “I… I flew in from Beijing this morning,” he began, recounting his day, the words coming out disjointed at first, then gaining a forced coherence. “My private jet landed at Westwood Executive Airfield. My security team met me on the tarmac. From there, we drove directly to… to the orphanage. The ‘Hope Springs’ orphanage. I made a generous donation. It was… it was deeply moving.” He paused, a flicker of that earlier, calm demeanor was returning as he recalled the charitable act.“After that, we proceeded directly to the Arceneaux family business headquarters,” he continued, his voice tightening slightly as he mentioned the name. “I had a scheduled business meeting. With… with Vincent Arceneaux himself. For some ‘Project Cognivault’ presentation.” He finished, looking at Jayden, expecting some understanding, some recognition of his unassailable security.Jayden’s gaze immediately shifted to Stella, who was still sitting beside him. Stella, who had been observing the entire exchange w

  • A BREACHED FORTRESS

    Jayden looked at her, then at Mr. Chen, who was now visibly unsettled. The confident man from just moments ago was now a question wrapped in silk.He turned toward Chen.“Mr. Chen, may I see your phone?”Mr Chen blinked. “My phone?”Jayden nodded. “Yes." Luminar—his synaptic echo—suggested he checked Mr Chen's mobile logs. "If there has been any backdoor activity or unseen transaction alerts, it might show up there before anywhere else.”Chen hesitated for half a second—then reached into his inner jacket and pulled out a sleek black device. His phone. It was the kind that was not sold in stores. It was custom, encrypted, and no doubt built with proprietary security software.“I trust you,” he said, handing it over.Jayden took the device gently, the weight of it was solid in his hand. He pressed the side, and the screen came alive with a silent flicker. The display was dark, sleek, and designed for efficiency, not flash. He immediately bypassed the main screen, his fingers moving
