Lyra’s Intrusion
And across the city, in a dark office, Neo watched through hidden cameras and smiled wider than he had in weeks.'Murderers planning their next move with blood money. This is—'This was poetic justice.Neo replayed the conversation five times. Took detailed notes. Saved everything.'They killed me. All of them. The whole family. Planned it together. Executed it together.'The rage that burned in his chest was cold now. Focused. Sharp as the knife that had pierced his ribs.'Alina married me for money. The family needed my insurance payout and my crypto. So they staged a robbery and had me murdered.'Except they'd underestimated him. Underestimated what he'd do to survive. What he'd become.'And now they're turning on each other. Planning escapes. Building contingencies. Because they know—they know that reporter's getting close.'Neo pulled up Lyra's latest article. Read it again.She was closer than the Carvers realized. Closer than even she realized.'But she's asking the wrong quest
Need For Leverage
Mark woke at 6 AM to his phone pinging.Transaction complete.He grabbed it with shaking hands.Balance: $260,000.His heart stopped.Sixty thousand profit.In eight hours.While he slept.'Holy shit. Holy shit!'He jumped out of bed. Paced. Laughed.This was real. This was actually real.'I did it. I actually did it.'He pulled up the transaction history. Watched the money move. Watched the algorithm work its magic.'If I made sixty thousand on two hundred—what if I invest more? What if I leverage everything?'The family business had liquid assets. Emergency funds. Money set aside for expansions and opportunities.About a million dollars.'If I invest a million at thirty percent—that's three hundred thousand profit. That would solve everything. Would put us ahead of Ames Digital. Would prove—'Would prove he wasn't useless.Mark pulled up his laptop. Opened the family business accounts.He had signing authority. Had access to the funds.'I could do it. Could invest without telling an
Hook, Line And Sinker
Neo pulled up the Helix Coin whitepaper. Third revision. Getting closer.'Needs to sound revolutionary without being too technical. Mark understands just enough to be dangerous. That's the sweet spot.'He typed."Helix utilizes quantum-resistant lattice-based cryptography combined with AI-optimized transaction routing. This creates a self-healing blockchain immune to traditional attack vectors."'Bullshit. Complete bullshit. But impressive-sounding bullshit.'The key wasn't making it real. The key was making it believable.And for that, he needed proof of concept.Neo pulled up three different crypto exchanges. Set up accounts on each. Moved small amounts between them, exploiting price differences.Basic arbitrage. Nothing revolutionary. But when wrapped in fancy terminology—'Cross-exchange quantum optimization.'He documented everything. Screenshots. Transaction histories. Profit margins.A thousand dollars became thirteen hundred in forty minutes.Thirty percent returns.'That'll g

This Is Targeted
Adam came to Neo's office an hour later. Sweating. Nervous."How'd I do?"Neo pulled off his sunglasses. "Fine. You did fine.""She was asking about—about the ownership structure. About connections. I didn't—""You didn't say anything wrong. She's fishing. Throwing out names to see if you react.""But the timing thing. About that Noam guy. That's—""Coincidence. Which is what you said." Neo's voice went cold. "Unless you think there's a connection?""No! No, of course not. I just—she made it sound suspicious.""That's her job. To find patterns that aren't there." Neo stood. Walked to the window. "Forget about it. Focus on the company. On the Series A. On growth."Adam nodded. Still anxious. "Right. Yes. Of course."He left.Neo waited until the door closed. Then pulled up Lyra's location through her phone's GPS.She was at a coffee shop. Typing.He hacked her laptop's camera. Angled it so he could see her screen.Article draft. Title: "Ames Digital: Success Story or Something More?"N
First Contact... The Interview
"Ames Digital. They just announced a Series A. Fifty million valuation."Mark grabbed the tablet. Read. His jaw tightened."Who the hell are they?""That's what I want to know. They appeared out of nowhere. High-frequency trading. Crypto focus. Sound familiar?""There are dozens of firms doing that.""Not ones that undercut our prices and poach our potential clients." Douglas paced. "Three deals we lost this month. All to Ames Digital. They're either incredibly lucky or—""Or what?""Or they know something we don't."Mark stared at the screen. Neo zoomed in on his expression.Suspicion. Paranoia. The gears turning.'That's right, Mark. Wonder who they are. Wonder how they knew. Wonder if maybe, just maybe, someone's targeting you specifically.'"I'll look into it," Mark said finally. "See who's behind them.""Already tried. Ownership structure's a maze. Shell companies and offshore trusts. Very deliberate.""So they're hiding something.""Or they're smart about tax law." Douglas shrug
