CHAPTER 559
"No... no, no, no," Vance gasped, panic seizing him completely as he stared at Zarek as if seeing a ghost. "That's... that's impossible! The fire... the strike team... no one survived that night! We made sure of it! How... how are you alive?!"Elara watched Vance fall apart, a cold smile touching her lips."Surprise, Director. Dead men come back when you don't finish the job."Zarek didn't move. He stood imposing and still, his massive frame blocking the light as he watched the man who had destroyed his life collapse onto the floor."You burned my home," Zarek said, his voice cutting through Vance's panic. "You erased my family's name from every database in the city. But you forgot one thing, Vance."Zarek leaned slightly toward the iron bars, locking onto Vance's shaking gaze. "Fire doesn't destroy iron. It tempers it."Vance pressed his back hard against the concrete wall, his lungs burning as he gasped for air. "The fire..." Vance wheezed, his eyes wide and unseeing. "The house
CHAPTER 558
As if sensing Zarek's thoughts, Vance slowly raised his head.His eyes met Zarek's, and a wide, arrogant smirk broke across his face. He didn't say a word, but the dark confidence in his smile made it clear: Vance believed he still held the winning hand, and that his unseen backer was already moving on the board."Did you really think the encryption on your mountain server would hold?" Zarek asked, his voice low and steady. "You buried the transfers under ten layers of black-budget shell companies, but you left a trace. We found the routing protocols, Vance. We know about F3."The moment the codename left Zarek's lips, the smug grin vanished. Vance's jaw tightened, and his eyes darted away for a fraction of a second before he forced a calm mask back into place."You're bluffing," Vance sneered, though the seed of doubt had clearly taken root. "You don't know anything about F3. If you did, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me.""I know enough," Zarek replied smoothly, taking a
CHAPTER 557
Zarek’s stone-cold expression subtly shifted, a rare breath of relief unweighting his posture as he heard his youngest brother's voice."Tinny," Zarek rumbled, stepping slightly away from the glowing console. "Good to hear you breathing.""I'm getting out of here," Tinny growled over the static, the sound of squeaking bedsprings echoing alongside a doctor desperately muttering warnings. "Tell me where the rendezvous is. I'll rip this hospital door off its hinges and meet you in twenty minutes.""You will sit your massive ass right back down on that bed," Zarek commanded flatly, his voice carrying the immovable authority of an older brother who had dragged him through a dozen battlefields.On the other end, Tinny let out an annoyed huff."Zarek, I'm fine—""You were poisoned by Vance's neural agent hours ago," Zarek cut him off smoothly. "If you try to sprint across the city right now, your heart will explode before you hit the main lobby. Stay put.""And leave you guys to deal with Va
CHAPTER 556
Outside, the rain had started up again, drumming a relentless beat against the rusted metal structures of the industrial district.High in the wet branches of an old oak tree overlooking a dark intersection, Shaw questioned every choice that had led him to this moment. He clung to the trunk, a deep frown etched on his face as he shifted his weight, causing his cracked ribs to flare with white-hot agony.‘That absolute bastard, ’ Shaw cursed Zarek bitterly in his head, groaning softly as he pressed a hand to his side. 'He’s so good at it,' he says. 'He has eyes everywhere,' he says. I’m literally bleeding under my shirt, and he lets me walk right out into a downpour to climb a tree. If I survive this, I’m charging him double for therapy.He clamped his jaw shut, forcing himself to go completely still as low voices drifted through the rain.Directly below his perch, three men dressed in dark, unbadged tactical gear slipped from the shadows of an alleyway. They weren't wearing Vance's
CHAPTER 555
Zarek paused, his hand dropping from his newly bandaged shoulder. He turned a flat, unamused gaze toward his elder sister."Do not talk nonsense," Zarek rumbled, his voice carrying its usual heavy finality. "I do not care for that kind of stuff. We are in the middle of a war.""Oh, please," Elara teased, stepping closer and poking his uninjured shoulder. "The great, untouchable God of War, completely blind to the fact that the smartest tech genius in the sector just spent ten minutes looking at you like you hung the moon. You might be a genius on the battlefield, little brother, but you're an absolute block of wood when it comes to women."Zarek didn't blink. "She was giving me a warning about our target. Nothing more.""Right, right. Keep telling yourself that," Elara laughed, her expression softening into something more genuine.She wiped a stray smudge of engine grease from her cheek. "Alright, jokes aside. Now that the ledger is ours and Tiny is stable... when are we going to see
CHAPTER 554
Zarek looked at Troll, then back at Elara, his face expressionless. "He's the driver.""I can see he drives, Zarek," Elara said, her tone dropping into a tight whisper. "Who is he really? We didn't plan for a fourth."Troll pocketed the heavy key fob and raised his hands in a peace offering, giving Elara a calm nod. "Captain Troll. Freelance transport and security. As of three hours ago, an ex-employee of Director Vance who decided he didn't want to die for a bad paycheck."Shaw, limping toward the doorway while clutching his ribs, called over his shoulder, "He helped us clear the mountain perimeter and took out the interceptors on the highway, Elara. He's the only reason we aren't wrapped around a pine tree right now."Elara didn't relax her grip on her weapon. "An ex-employee of Vance. That's a dangerous resume to bring to my front door.""It's fine," Zarek rumbled. His deep voice carried a weight that finally made Elara drop her hand from her waist. "He proved his worth on th
