The drive back from the city cafeteria was dead silent. Serena’s hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white. Every time she glanced at Michael, who sat calmly watching the traffic, her chest tightened.

The moment they stepped through the front door of her guest house, she closed it with a heavy thud, locked it, and spun around to face him.

"Alright, Michael. No more games," Serena said, her voice shaking with a mix of fear and anger. "Ashley Vance is a man who hasn't

    Meanwhile, sixty miles away, the atmosphere inside the grand auditorium of Tower 01—now the main headquarters of the Sovereign Alliance—was packed to absolute capacity.Thousands of corporate employees, high-level managers, and senior accountants from both Vance Global and its subsidiary, the Phantom Group, stood packed shoulder-to-shoulder under the high glass ceilings. Whispers and anxious chatter echoed through the vast room like a swarming hive of bees.Standing on the elevated main stage were Rebecca and Serena, both dressed in sharp executive suits. Behind them stood Michael. He no longer hid in the shadows. He stood tall, wearing his dark Auditor longcoat, his eyes calmly scanning the massive crowd.Rebecca stepped up to the podium, tapping the microphone.FEEDBACK RING!The entire room instantly fell dead silent. Thousands of nervous eyes locked onto the young woman standing at the center of the stage."Employees of the former Vance Global and Phantom Group," Rebecca began, he

    The subterranean safehouse beneath the Indiana state line was heavy with the stench of damp earth, stale smoke, and unwashed metal. The silence was shattered by the heavy, echoing thunder of combat boots marching down the concrete corridor.A dozen men stepped into the dim room, filling every corner with an oppressive, terrifying aura. They wore scarred tactical armor, their faces covered in dark, bone-shaped masks, and their eyes burned with a ruthless, unnatural red mana.At the front of the brutal squad stood Vector, the ruthless commander of the West Scorpion Syndicate. He was a massive man with a scarred face, a bald head covered in dark runes, and broad shoulders that held a heavy war-axe across his back. He didn't look like a corporate mercenary; he looked like a butcher straight out of an ancient dungeon.Justin took one look at Vector's cold, red eyes and immediately stumbled backward, knocking over a metal stool and hiding behind a concrete pillar, trembling in pure horror.

    Meanwhile, inside the sunlit executive suite on Floor 100 of Tower 01, the atmosphere was entirely different.The massive holographic displays that used to project Ashley’s dark soul-harvesting charts were now filled with bright, green financial data. Serena sat at the main terminal desk, her fingers flying across the keys as she restructured the company's core operations, while Rebecca stood beside a glass table, reviewing a newly drafted corporate charter.Michael stood by the open balcony doors, his arms crossed over his chest, his dark longcoat fluttering in the cool morning wind. His turquoise-and-gold eyes looked out over the sprawling, peaceful city below, but his expression was heavy and deep in thought."We've cleared out the last remnants of Ashley’s shadow accounts," Rebecca announced, turning around with a bright, victorious smile. "Every single employee in Tower 01 has been freed from their soul-binding contracts. We’re officially converting the entire firm into a transp

    Inside a damp, subterranean storm cell hidden miles beneath the Indiana state line, Ashley Vance slammed his fists against a wooden table until his knuckles bled. His withered chest heaved with ragged breaths, his golden demonic eyes flickering like dying candles in the dark.Across from him, Justin and Sterling sat shivering on cold metal crates, terrified to even make eye contact with their master."Forty years!" Ashley shrieked, his voice cracking into a pathetic, high-pitched scream. "Forty years of building an empire! And that ghost takes it all away in a single day!""Boss... please calm down," Justin pleaded, wiping sweat from his face with a trembling sleeve. "Balthazar called us before he fled the state. He said Michael’s new class is a Mythic evolution. The legal domain didn't even scratch him! We don't have the corporate backing to fight him anymore!""Shut up, Justin!" Ashley roared, grabbing a glass bottle and shattering it against the concrete wall. "I don't care about l

    The shattered fragments of the blue legal dome dissolved into the warm Indiana air like falling dust. The oppressive pressure that had bound everyone's skills lifted completely, and the roaring golden-crimson fire of Michael’s Sovereign Warlord Auditor form surged back to life, lighting up the dim concrete entrance of the bunker.Balthazar lay on the dirt path, his expensive suit covered in mud. His silver-rimmed glasses were crooked on his face, and his burned black ledger was nothing more than a pile of smoldering gray ash between his hands.He looked up at Michael, his eyes wide with absolute, paralyzed horror.Michael didn't draw a weapon. He didn't raise his hand in anger. He simply took two slow, heavy steps forward, his boots crunching on the dry gravel until he stood directly over the trembling lawyer.Michael slowly reached down and placed his large, warm palm firmly onto Balthazar’s left shoulder.VRRRR!A gentle, humming shockwave of pure golden authority passed through Bal

    The sleek executive transport hovered low over the endless cornfields of West Indiana. Below, the dark, concrete roof of Ashley’s hidden bunker broke through the green farmland like a gray tombstone.Michael stood near the transport’s side door, his hand resting on the hilt of his crimson-gold energy blade. His new Sovereign Warlord Auditor form hummed with unstoppable power. Beside him, Serena adjusted her wrist-terminal, while Rebecca loaded a high-caliber sidearm."Target perimeter acquired," the transport pilot called out. "Preparing for rapid landing.""No landing," Michael said, his deep voice carrying absolute confidence. "Drop the ramp. I’m taking down the bunker doors directly.""Wait, Michael!" Serena suddenly yelled, staring at her arm display. Her gray eyes widened in sheer panic. "The system grid... it’s shifting! Look out!"Before Michael could step forward, a blinding, pale-blue light erupted from the cornfields below. The transport shook violently as a massive, translu
