CHAPTER 144 - NEXUS INVESTMENT
Once that was settled, another thought crossed his mind. Dylan turned toward the laptop. "Nexus." "Yes?" "I want to test something else." "I am listening." "How good are you at financial analysis?" "Please specify the financial task." Dylan thought for a moment. "Analyze the market and tell me which stocks have the strongest short-term growth potential." He paused. "I want something that could potentially rise by tomorrow morning if I invested today." For the first time, there was a slightly longer silence. "Understood. Beginning market analysis." Dylan expected to wait. Perhaps several minutes. Instead— "I have completed the analysis." Dylan's eyebrows rose. "Already?" "Yes." A detailed report appeared on the screen. Dylan leaned forward. Several publicly traded companies were listed. Their current share prices. Recent trading activity. Volume. Financial indicators. News sentiment. Institutional activity. Sector movements. Earnings expectations. Projec
CHAPTER 143- ADMITTING FEARS
The moment Dylan stepped into his bedroom and closed the door behind him, the calm expression he had maintained throughout the evening finally disappeared. He leaned his back against the door and released a long breath. It was a deep, exhausted breath—the kind that seemed to come from somewhere beneath his ribs. For several seconds, he simply stood there. He stared at the floor without moving as the events at Black Fang headquarters replayed through his mind. The gun. Richie's men. Hailey and her parents being held hostage. The darkness. The fight. The financial systems collapsing. And the fact that, only a short while ago, he had been standing with a gun pressed against the head of the leader of one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the city. Only now, with the door between him and the outside world, did Dylan allow himself to admit the truth. He had been scared. Not enough to panic. Not enough to lose control. But enough to understand that things could
CHAPTER 142 - FIRST GUESTS
The drive away from the Blackfang Syndicate headquarters was unusually quiet. For several minutes, the only sounds inside Dylan's car were the low hum of the engine and the occasional movement of the tires against the asphalt. Dylan kept his attention focused on the road ahead, his hands relaxed around the steering wheel as though the events of the past hour had been nothing more than an inconvenient interruption to his day. The same could not be said for the three passengers sitting behind him. Hailey, Simon, and Felicia were still trying to process everything that had happened. Only a short while ago, they had been prisoners inside the Blackfang Syndicate's headquarters, convinced that the situation had become completely hopeless. Richie had controlled the room, his men had surrounded them, and Dylan had deliberately allowed himself to be captured before turning the entire situation around. They had watched him dismantle the gang's men with the same frightening ease they had wi
CHAPTER 141 - CUTTING A SHARP DEAL (2)
Richie frowned. "How do I know you won't stop everything and then come after us anyway?" Dylan shrugged. "You don't." Richie's eyebrows rose slightly. Dylan continued. "I'm not interested in proving myself trustworthy to you." His voice remained calm. "You can accept my proposal or reject it." He tilted his head slightly. "But if you reject it, we keep standing here." Dylan's eyes shifted toward the phone on the nearby workstation. "And while we're standing here, your money keeps disappearing." Richie's jaw tightened. Dylan leaned slightly closer. "The choice is yours." Richie looked toward his men. Their anxious expressions told him everything he needed to know. Nobody had found a solution. Nobody knew how to stop the losses. And they had already lost millions. There was no guarantee the losses would stop there. Richie looked back at Dylan. The humiliation burned inside him. He hated the idea of accepting terms from a college student. A college student. Someone he
CHAPTER 140 - CUTTING A SHARP DEAL
One of the men standing near the doorway immediately reached for his phone. His hands were noticeably less steady than they had been moments earlier. He hurried toward a nearby workstation and placed the phone beside the computer before leaning over the keyboard. His fingers moved rapidly across the keys. The screen remained unchanged. For several seconds, nothing happened. The man frowned and tried again. Then something changed. His expression froze. He stared at the screen as though he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "No..." Richie's eyes narrowed. "What?" The man didn't answer immediately. His fingers began moving faster across the keyboard. He opened one system. Then another. A series of windows appeared across the monitor. Numbers began changing. Account balances refreshed. Transaction records disappeared. The man's face slowly drained of color. "Boss..." Richie's patience was already wearing thin. "What?" The man swallowed. "We're l
CHAPTER 139 - TURNING TIDES
The sound came from every direction at once. The deafening alarm seemed to shake the entire building, drowning out every other sound inside the office. Then, a second later—Everything went dark. The lights abruptly disappeared. The office was swallowed by darkness so complete that, for a brief moment, nobody could see anything. "What the hell?" One of the guards stumbled backward, his hands instinctively reaching out as he tried to find his balance. "What happened?" Another man cursed under his breath. Richie's head snapped upward as he instinctively looked toward the ceiling. "Why did the lights go out?" Nobody answered him. The fire alarm continued blaring. WEEEEEE-OOOOO! The noise was almost unbearable. Outside the office, hurried footsteps suddenly filled the corridor. Dozens of men were moving at once. Their voices overlapped in confusion. "Check the power!" "What's happening?" "Why is the alarm going off?" "The entire building is dark!"
