The underground hallway leading to the deep cells was damp, dark, and heavy with the smell of old iron and stale sweat.

Four heavily armed syndicate guards stood outside Rebecca’s cell door, holding heavy tactical rifles. The alarm sirens from the north gate were echoing faintly through the concrete ceiling, making them visibly jumpy.

    CRASH!Michael slammed into the cold, damp dirt of the subterranean catacombs, rolling through ancient stone dust to break his fall.Above them, the hole in the courtroom ceiling was fifty feet high, thick clouds of white marble dust pouring down like a waterfall. The sound of distant gunfire echoed faintly from the upper levels where Damon and Bolton were still holding off the remaining Crown Council mercenaries.Michael pushed himself up, his golden Audit aura illuminating the dark, narrow stone tunnel around them.Beside him, Elizabeth brushed dust from her white wool coat, checking her sidearms. Ten feet back, Subject 01 stood up, his heavy brass armor covered in white marble powder, his white-gold eye lights scanning the dark catacombs."Are you hurt?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Michael."I'm fine," Michael said coldly, examining the ancient stone walls. "Where are we?"Elizabeth held up her wrist display, activating a local geological scan. "These are the ancient catacombs bene

    Ten hours later. Geneva, Switzerland.The snow fell softly over Lake Geneva, coating the ancient stone bridges and grand marble plazas of the city in a serene blanket of white.Standing on a high hill overlooking the city was the Global Banking Tribunal—a massive, neo-classical fortress constructed of white marble and reinforced bulletproof glass. It served as the supreme court for international corporate disputes, sovereign debt allocations, and mega-conglomerate mergers.Inside an underground parking garage two blocks from the Tribunal, Michael pulled on a crisp black suit coat.Beside him, Serena checked her wrist communicator, while Kael typed furiously on a portable server rig set up in the back of an armored van. Damon and Bolton stood near the rear doors, checking their suppressed sidearms."The Tribunal is currently in an emergency executive session," Kael reported, his eyes glued to his screen. "Marcus Sterling’s legal team is presenting the final buyout papers for Sovereign

    The cold rain tapped relentlessly against the shattered skylights of the abandoned textile warehouse. Dust particles floated in the dark air, illuminated only by the faint red glow of a burning transformer down the alleyway.Michael stood completely still. His hands were loose at his sides, his eyes locked onto the woman standing ten feet away.Lady Elizabeth von Heller—his mother—held the heavy silver rifle steady. Her green eyes were unblinking, her finger tightening firmly around the curved steel trigger."In business, Michael..." Elizabeth whispered softly, tears mixing with the rain on her cheeks, "...there are no family discounts."CLICK!THWIP!A sharp, microscopic pneumatic pop echoed through the quiet warehouse.Michael didn't move. He didn't summon his Audit aura. The tiny silver projectile struck him directly in the side of the neck.There was no sudden explosion of kinetic force. No tearing of muscle. Instead, a cold, icy liquid rushed straight into his carotid artery, spr

    The freezing wind howled past Michael’s ears as he fell through the dark sky at terminal velocity.Behind him, fifty yards up, the sleek black hunter-killer drone swooped through the rain clouds, its six plasma barrels glowing red as its targeting computer locked onto Michael’s golden Audit aura.PEW-PEW-PEW!Plasma bolts sizzled through the rain, missing Michael’s coat by inches!Michael looked down. The dark, narrow alleys of Sector 2 were rushing up to meet him at terrifying speed.I can't fight this thing with Audit energy, Michael realized as he fell. The moment I flare my aura, its guidance computer predicts my exact trajectory. To kill a machine that hunts energy... I have to become a ghost.Michael closed his eyes mid-air.He took a deep, slow breath, forcing his heart rate down from one hundred and eighty beats per minute to a calm, steady forty. Deep within his chest, he manually collapsed his Audit Domain, pulling every thread of golden light back into his core, sealing it
