CHAPTER 210
"The auction keeps a log of every invitation. When it was issued. To whom. Through which channel." Dante turned his head. "Is the auction's representative present?"The woman in the black dress stepped out from the crowd. She carried the same velvet case. Her face showed nothing, like a statue carved from patience."I am here, Mr. Moretti.""Please verify the registration records for my invitation." Dante's tone did not shift. "And for the message this young man is displaying."Lorenzo's grin flickered. "That is not necessary. The message speaks for itself.""Then you will not mind." The representative took out a small tablet. Her fingers moved with calm precision. The hall waited in silence.Two minutes. Lyra watched Lorenzo's throat bob. That is how long he has before the floor opens under him."Mr. Morett
CHAPTER 209
Lorenzo De Luca could not swallow what happened in that hotel suite. By nightfall, he had made a plan that smelled worse than a clogged drain."Everyone needs to hear this." Lorenzo leaned across a restaurant table. His eyes glittered with poison. "The Moretti trash did not earn that black invitation. He crawled into someone's bed for it.""Whose bed?" A friend leaned in, hungry for gossip."One of the organizers. Take your pick." Lorenzo smirked. "A man with no money and no family has to pay with something."By morning, the rumor had crawled through half the wealthy families in the city. A popular entertainment blogger named Chloe Vance posted it before breakfast. The headline said everything Lorenzo wanted."The Moretti Heir Sold Himself For A Golden Seat."Dante read it on his phone while Lyra drove. His face did not change."You are not angry." Lyra glanced at him."Anger is a luxury for people with free time." Dante scrolled past a comment calling him a gold digger. "Where are we
CHAPTER 208
"I said clean it up." Lorenzo stepped closer. His cologne smelled like money spent to cover insecurity. "Or are your ears as broken as your family's reputation?""My ears work fine." Dante met his eyes. "I just do not take orders from men whose biggest achievement is being born into the right family."Lorenzo's face flushed. His friends went quiet."You arrogant little insect." Lorenzo's voice dropped. "Do you know who my father is? Do you know what the De Luca family can do to a nobody like you?""I know exactly who your father is." Dante's voice was the calm surface of a lake that hid something enormous beneath the water. "A man who inherited everything he has and earned nothing on his own. Just like you."Before Lorenzo could respond, the suite door opened. A tall man with silver hair and a suit that screamed old money walked in. Lorenzo's posture changed instantl
CHAPTER 207
Three days after the underground settlement nearly buried them all, Dante returned to the surface world. The city moved around him like nothing had changed. Traffic. Noise. People rushing to jobs they hated for money they would spend on things they did not need.His phone buzzed with a message from Vittorio."Have you seen the invitations?" Vittorio's voice carried the excitement of a man who smelled opportunity the way sharks smell blood. "The Golden Auction is happening next month. Every major family in the country is fighting for a seat.""I have been underground for three days fighting ancient gods." Dante leaned against the car. "Auctions are not exactly on my mind.""They should be." Vittorio's tone shifted to business. "This is not some charity gala where rich people drink champagne and pretend to care about orphans. The Golden Auction brings together billionaire businessmen, famous entertainers, political figures, and influential heirs. Some of them secretly possess supernatur
CHAPTER 206
"Then prove it." Dante's ring gathered every fragment of power his body could produce. Without Mars's full support, his golden aura flickered like a candle in a hurricane. But the ancient channels beneath the floor did not need divine power. They needed Moretti blood. And that was something no god could take from him.He struck the floor.The impact split the stone in a perfect line that ran from Dante's fist to the base of both chambers. Energy erupted through the cracks like lightning running through water. The control system screamed as the feedback cascaded through every connected channel.Three seconds later, Ginevra pushed.The walls of her chamber shuddered. The mechanism reversed for a single heartbeat. That heartbeat was enough. In Lyra's chamber, the black energy stopped rising and began draining back into the floor.The entire system collapsed. Both chambers cracked open. The explosion threw Dante across the floor and slammed him into the far wall. His connection to Mars fl
CHAPTER 205
Dante slammed both fists against the barrier separating him from the two chambers. The stone cracked but held. Ancient symbols blazed along its surface, pushing his hands back with a force that burned through his skin.One chamber was filling with black energy. The dark liquid rose around Lyra's ankles, then her knees, climbing with the patience of a tide that knew exactly how long it had. The second chamber's walls moved inward. Stone ground against stone as the room slowly crushed toward Ginevra's body."The mechanism demands a direction." The voice echoed from the ceiling. "Pour your power into one chamber and it opens. The other collapses. Split your energy and both chambers accelerate. There is no third option.""There is always a third option." Dante pressed his hands against the barrier. His golden ring pulsed, but Mars's power responded weakly, like a flame struggling in a windstorm.The entity designed this trap for exactly this moment. His mind raced behind a face carved fro
