CHAPTER 170
The room erupted into loud laughter. "This guy is an absolute clown!" a guest shouted.Lance stood perfectly still, letting the laughter die down. Then, he spoke smoothly. "It is the electronic key to a finished estate property in the Apex Sector."The entire room froze. The laughter cut off so fast it felt like the air had been sucked out of the grand hall. You could have heard a pin drop on the marble floor after he mentioned Apex Sector.Elena’s eyes widened, her hands flying to her mouth. "Wait... you mean the Apex Sector? The most secure, elite zone in the entire country? The place where Selene, the President of Apex Corp, actually lives?"Lance nodded slowly. "Yes. And that is my gift to the family."The wealthy guests looked at him in absolute awe. The whispers started again, but this time, the tone was entirely different."How is that even possible?" one of the billionaires murmured, his champagne glass trembling."Civilians are not even allowed within one hundred meters of th
CHAPTER 169
"Mom!" Isabelle stood her ground. "You invited your family. This is my husband, and this is your grandson.""Grandchild my foot!" Georgia hissed. "I don’t have a grandson with that man's blood. You should have left them in whatever hole they crawled out of.""Sister, please," Elena added, crossing her arms. "Everyone is staring. You’re making us a laughingstock."Lance’s face darkened. "I told you this was a mistake," he whispered to Isabelle.Georgia looked at Lance with pure disdain. "And I see you came empty-handed as usual. Not even a flower for the woman whose daughter you're leaching off of?"Suddenly, the roar of a high-performance engine cut through the chatter. A limited-edition silver sports car rolled to a stop at the entrance. Darren Grayson, the billionaire heir to the Grayson fortune, stepped out. The crowd turned, he was the man Georgia had always wanted for Isabelle.Darren walked up with a smug grin, a line of servants following him with wrapped boxes. He hugged Georg
CHAPTER 168
Outside, the cool night air hit Lance’s face. He stood by the side of his black van, leaning against the metal as he watched the distant lab.The laboratory exploded, and the flames rose to the sky.The heat from the explosion was still radiating against Lance’s skin when Selene approached him."General," she said softly, "we finished the sweep. James is dead. Unfortunately, we could not bring him in alive as you requested."Lance watched the flames. "It doesn’t matter," he replied, his voice a hollow echo. "He was going to die today regardless."Lance climbed into his black van and drove back to the city. He drove straight to a secluded wing of the military base where he had built a private altar. Inside, the air was cool and smelled of incense. He closed the heavy doors.Selene and the elite guards stood outside.Inside, Lance rekindled a single white candle. He knelt before the framed photographs of a beautiful woman and two young, laughing girls. Tears finally came down his cheeks
CHAPTER 167
Each punch carried enough force to shatter brick, but to Lance, it was like being hit by a gentle breeze. He stood there, unmoving, watching James exhaust himself.Lance reached out and seized James by the throat, lifting the Warlord into the air until his boots dangled feet above the floor. "Your days are over. I am tempted to kill you now, but I want you to die slowly. I want you to feel every second of the pain you’ve caused."With a flick of his wrist, Lance flung James across the room. The Warlord crashed into a row of glass consoles."SIR!"The laboratory doors burst open. Selene arrived at the head of a battalion of Elite Guards, their rifles raised. She stopped, her eyes darting from the ruined laboratory to the broken man on the floor."Burn everything," Lance barked, not looking back. "Leave nothing left. And bring James back to the base in chains. He is a traitor. He is the one who led the massacre that night.""James?" Selene whispered, her face pale with shock. "The Warlo
CHAPTER 166
"It’s you," James whispered. "Well, the upgrade you. With this technology, humans don't even need to go to war. I was working on bringing you back as the perfect soldier. If you had stayed alive, you wouldn't have let the project finish. But once this is done, this machine will think like you, fight like you, and learn an opponent's every move in seconds. We won't need to send fathers and sons to die in trenches anymore."James turned to him, pleading now. "I killed you for the greater good. I respect you more than anyone, Lance, but you were weak. You were a brake on the wheel of progress. Now you have a second chance at life. Work with me. We will be unstoppable.""EResult" Lance’s fist tightened. "You’ve killed thousands of innocents for this. You spent billions on a project I forbade. Is this pile of scrap worth the life of my wife? My daughter? My father? You wiped them out for a ghost in a tank?""I was going to give you back your life!" James shouted. "That should count for som
CHAPTER 165
"So, you recognize me," Lance's voice vibrated.The Warlord threw his head back and laughed. "Lance, even if you switched bodies a hundred times, I could spot you in any crowd. When you 'died' that night, a blinding light erupted, the same light appeared the day you returned, the military waved it off as an accidental explosion, but I somehow knew."Lance’s knuckles turned white. As James spoke, the foggy memories of that horrific night finally came together.That night, it was James who killed him."It wasn't long before I found you again," James continued, swirling the wine in his glass. "That underground fight club you destroyed? You ordered Selene to scrub your identity, to keep you a ghost. But I’ve been watching. I knew it was only a matter of time before you showed up at my doorstep."Lance took a step forward, the floor cracking beneath his boot. "Warlord James. You were the one behind it all. The ambush, the fire, the blood... it was you.""Chill out, Lance," James said, gest
