Chapter 102: The Unwelcome Arrival
The helicopter's blades thudded in the air, sending gusts of wind that whipped at their faces and scattered the dust around them. Gregory's mind raced as he watched the aircraft descend. Whoever was in that helicopter wasn’t here for a casual visit. The sheer force with which it landed spoke volumes. This was no rescue—it was an arrival that would change everything.Avery’s hand instinctively went to her gun, though it seemed almost futile against the looming threat that hovered above them. Her eyes flicked to Gregory, her face a mixture of apprehension and confusion.“Who the hell is that?” Victor muttered, his voice low, as he kept a wary eye on the rapidly approaching helicopter.Gregory’s gut twisted. He didn’t know, but he had a sinking feeling that whoever this was, they weren’t here to help. The situation had just gone from bad to worse.The helicopter’s rotor finally slowed to a stop, and the ground rumbled with the last echoes of the descent. The door slid open with a metalli
Chapter 101: The Flicker of Hope
The air was thick with dust, and the ground beneath them seemed to groan and tremble with every passing second.The collapse had thrown them into a new nightmare, a vast chasm that seemed to stretch into the abyss, threatening to swallow them whole. Yet, amidst the chaos, a flickering light in the distance caught Gregory’s attention.For a moment, everything else faded away. The sounds of crumbling concrete and snapping steel dulled to a muffled hum. The only thing that mattered now was that light.“Do you see that?” Gregory murmured, his voice hoarse as he squinted into the dark expanse.Avery nodded, her eyes wide with a mix of relief and confusion. “Is that... an exit?”Victor, who had been scanning the surroundings, didn’t wait for an answer. “It’s our only chance. Move, now!”Gregory grabbed Avery by the arm and pulled her toward the flickering light. They stumbled over the debris, the floor beneath them constantly shifting and cracking. Renwick, still bound and barely moving, wa
Chapter 100: Gregory's Pain
The world was spinning. Gregory’s head throbbed violently, his vision blurred as he struggled to regain his bearings. The deafening roar of collapsing concrete and twisted metal was all around him, drowning out every other sound. He could feel the heat of the explosions still lingering in the air, a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded just moments before.For a brief moment, everything went silent.Then the pain hit. Gregory groaned, forcing his eyes open as his body screamed in protest. His vision cleared just enough to make out the cracked, dusty ceiling above him. He was lying on the ground, the concrete beneath him jagged and uneven, the once-sturdy floor now a maze of wreckage and destruction.The building was falling apart.The air was thick with dust, and the sharp tang of smoke stung Gregory’s nose. He pushed himself up, gritting his teeth as his muscles screamed from the effort. His head spun as he took in the scene around him: rubble, scattered debris, and the faint soun
Chapter 99: The Collapse
The sound of the building groaning was deafening. The floor buckled under the weight of the massive explosions that had rocked the foundation. Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest as the walls around them began to crack and split open.The drone’s machine guns blazed through the air, filling the room with deafening noise. Bullets tore into the walls, splintering wood and concrete as they ricocheted off the surface. Gregory ducked behind cover, adrenaline surging through his veins. The situation was quickly spiraling out of control.Victor and Avery were already in motion, weaving between the shattered columns and debris, trying to avoid the barrage of gunfire. The drone hovered menacingly overhead, its weapons trained on them, waiting for the slightest movement to unleash another wave of destruction.“We need to disable it!” Avery shouted, her voice rising above the chaos. She fired a few rounds at the drone, but the bullets seemed to have little effect against its reinforced armor.
Chapter 98: The Final Countdown
The building shook violently as another explosion detonated somewhere deeper in the structure.The sound of creaking metal and groaning walls filled the air, sending dust and debris raining down from the ceiling. Gregory instinctively dove to the ground, covering his head as the walls around him seemed to tremble under the force of the blast.Victor, crouched low, hissed through his teeth. “What the hell is going on?!” He glanced toward the hallway, where the emergency lights flickered in warning.Avery was already on the move, grabbing for the emergency radios strapped to the wall. She began tapping furiously at the controls, her face pale as she listened to the chaotic transmissions coming through.“It’s Renwick,” Avery said, voice tight with urgency. “He’s calling in reinforcements. They’re attacking the building from multiple points. We’re trapped.”Gregory gritted his teeth. “Renwick’s playing a dangerous game. We need to get out of here. Now.”The tremors beneath their feet inte
Chapter 97: The True Enemy
The woman’s cold smile never wavered as the figure behind her stepped forward. Gregory’s eyes narrowed, his hand tightening around the gun he had drawn earlier. The man who had emerged from the shadows was tall, broad-shouldered, and moved with an eerie calm, as if the chaos in the room didn’t faze him.Victor’s grip on his weapon tightened, but he didn’t make a move just yet. Avery remained silent, her gaze focused on the new arrival.“I’m assuming you’re the one pulling the strings behind all of this?” Gregory asked, his voice even, though his heart was racing.The man tilted his head slightly, a twisted smile spreading across his face. “You could say that. My name is Elias Renwick.” He stepped into the light, revealing a face that Gregory recognized immediately—his stomach churned.Elias Renwick was a name that had appeared in countless financial records and covert intelligence dossiers. A figure who had remained elusive, operating just outside the reach of even the most powerful o
Chapter 96: The Price of Power
The armed men moved with surgical precision, fanning out across the room as their leader—a tall man with a cold gaze—approached Gregory. The woman who had made the offer stood motionless, her smile nowhere to be found. The tension in the air was palpable.Gregory’s heart raced, but his posture remained resolute. He had been through hell, and now, it seemed, it was time to face the ultimate test.The leader of the operatives, a man with dark eyes and a shaved head, stepped forward. “Gregory Ferris,” he said in a gravelly voice, “you’ve made a powerful enemy.”Gregory didn’t flinch. “And I’ve made some powerful friends. If you think I’m going to bow to some shadow organization, you’re sorely mistaken.”The woman’s expression darkened. “It’s not about bowing. It’s about survival. You’re in over your head.”“Then maybe you should stop hiding in the shadows and face me like an enemy,” Gregory shot back. “Or is your group too afraid to show their face?”The woman’s gaze flickered. For a mom
Chapter 95: The Ghosts of the Past
Gregory’s eyes narrowed as the cryptic video flickered on the screen before him. The distorted voice, warped by static and digital interference, sent a chill crawling down his spine. The words hung in the air, cold and ominous.Project Epoch.He turned sharply to Victor, his voice edged with a growing unease. “Who the hell is Project Epoch?”Victor’s gaze flickered with a flash of recognition, but he didn’t speak immediately. He was calculating, weighing the gravity of the question before answering. “I’ve heard whispers,” he said, his voice low. “Rumors. They're not just a group. They're a network, a shadow organization. They operate in the dark, pulling strings from behind the scenes. A mix of high-level individuals from finance, tech, and even government. They don’t just manipulate events—they orchestrate them.”Gregory felt his stomach twist. He had thought Heirlock, with all its corruption and manipulation, had been the final enemy. But now, this. Project Epoch. What did they want
Chapter 94: The Fall of a King
The room erupted.Journalists screamed questions, their voices a cacophony of disbelief and demand. Cameras flashed like strobe lights, illuminating the faces of the figures on the stage with harsh, unyielding beams. Nolan stood frozen, his eyes wide as the giant monitors displayed the unfolding catastrophe—Heirlock’s darkest secrets now exposed for the world to see. Real-time leaks flooded the screen: classified accounts, surveillance footage, encrypted memos—all bearing his signature, all showing Nolan’s deep entanglement with the corporate rot he had carefully hidden for years.Gregory stood at the center of the storm, unmoving, his eyes locked onto Nolan with a predatory calm. He was a man who had already won, yet still exuded the aura of someone who was playing the long game. His confidence cut through the chaos like a knife.“Would you like to explain any of this?” Gregory’s voice was smooth, the words clipped, but their weight was undeniable.Nolan’s mind scrambled, desperately
