Darius stood frozen, his eyes glued to the screen as Cassia continued to scroll through the encrypted data. His breath hitched in his chest, and for a moment, the room felt as if the walls were closing in on him. His father’s name had been a ghost in his life—someone he had thought was long gone, lost to the world of shadows. To see it in black and white, written among the powerful names of those connected to Santiago, shattered his already fractured world.
“This… this can’t be right,” Darius muttered, his voice low, as if speaking the words aloud could make them less true. “My father—he’s dead. I watched him die.”
Cassia, her face pale, turned to him. “I don’t know what to tell you, Darius. But this file—these names—they’re real. This isn’t a mistake.”

Chapter 94: The Edge of Reckoning
The city’s battered skyline was a silhouette against the fading twilight, jagged and defiant. From the command center’s rooftop, Elias stared out over the horizon, feeling the weight of every life tethered to the fragile hope they had carved from chaos.Victory at the north district was a milestone, but the war’s relentless pulse quickened with each passing hour.

The weight of the night’s operation still pressed on him like a lead cloak.Every victory tasted bittersweet. Every loss carved deeper wounds. But retreat was no longer an option. The war demanded relentless resolve.Inside, the command center buzzed quietly as the resistance regrouped.

For the first time in months, the grip of fear loosened—if only slightly.

Chapter 91: The Weight of Truth
The air was thick with tension as the council gathered again in the dimly lit command center. The fallout from Jarek’s betrayal had unsettled everyone, shaking the foundation of trust that the resistance had painstakingly built. Elias stood at the head of the table, his expression grave but resolute.“Tonight, we take stock of what we’ve lost—and what we still have. We cannot afford to fracture any further,” Elias began, his voice steady but carrying the weight of command.Naomi, seated beside him, met his gaze and nodded. Her investigation had just uncovered the tip of a much deeper network—one that reached beyond Jarek. The saboteur was a symptom, not the disease.“We believe Jarek was part of a larger operation,” Naomi said, unfolding a worn map and pinning several locations marked in red. “There are cells embedded across the city, and some have been feeding intell
