Chapter 474:
The situation was intense and palpable as everyone stared at Mr Phil Marcus in shock and bewilderment. "Protect us?" Mrs. Anna Marcus repeated incredulously. "By telling us not to bury our daughter? By threatening consequences if we went through with the funeral?""Because you're in danger!" Phil said urgently. "Real danger! There are people planning something terrible, and I couldn't just stand by and let it happen. I had to warn you, had to try to keep you safe!"The second agent, the one who had been recording, moved closer. "What people? What are you talking about?"Phil looked directly at the agent, his expression serious despite the tears still wet on his face. "I need to speak to General Carl Gerald. Immediately. I have information about the funeral, about the threats, about what's really going on. But I'll only discuss it with General Carl Gerald directly.""You're in no position to make demands," the first agent said firmly. "You just broke into a private residence. Tha
Chapter 473:
As Mrs Anna Marcus and her son, Victor Marcus, both watched, a shadow moved across the curtain…the clear silhouette of a person climbing up toward the window.Mrs. Anna Marcus screamed.The window suddenly burst inward with a crash of breaking glass. A figure in dark clothing and a black mask tumbled into the room, landing in a crouch among the shattered glass."Who are you?" Victor shouted, positioning himself between the intruder and his mother. "What do you want?"The masked figure straightened, raising his hands in what might have been a placating gesture. He appeared to be unarmed, but his presence was no less threatening for that."Please," the man said, his voice muffled by the mask. "I just want to talk. I need to…"But Victor didn't wait to hear what he needed. Adrenaline surging through his veins, grief and fear transforming into action, he launched himself at the intruder.The two men collided with a crash, tumbling to the floor among the broken glass. Victor Marcus imm
Chapter 472:
Victor was quiet for a long moment, staring down at their joined hands. "My mind is made up, Mom," he finally said, his voice barely above a whisper."I know you don't want to hear that. I know it terrifies you.”“But I've already decided. I'm joining the Elite Division in honor of Juliet's service. In honor of everything she stood for.""Victor, please…" Mrs Anna Marcus immediately pleaded with her only living child."I'm not doing it for revenge," Victor continued, looking up to meet his mother's eyes. "Not just for revenge, anyway. I'm doing it because Juliet showed me what it means to live for something bigger than yourself.”“She showed me what it means to serve, to protect, to make a real difference in the world. I want that too, Mom. I want my life to matter the way hers did."Mrs. Anna Marcus felt her heart breaking all over again.”“She could see the determination in her son's eyes, the same stubborn resolve that Juliet had always possessed.”“And she knew, with sinking cer
Chapter 471:
Victor Marcus immediately jerked backward, his heart hammering in his chest, clutching the photograph protectively against his body. He whirled around to face the doorway, his breath coming in sharp gasps."Mom," he breathed out, relief flooding through him as he recognized the figure standing in the shadowy hallway. "You scared me."Mrs. Anna Marcus stood in the doorway of Juliet's old bedroom, wrapped in a faded blue bathrobe that had seen better days. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her face pale and drawn in the dim light filtering in from the hallway. She looked like she'd aged a decade in the past few days."I'm sorry," she said softly, her voice hoarse from tears. "I couldn't sleep. I heard you moving around and thought... I don't know what I thought, that maybe it was Juliet.”“That maybe this was all just a terrible nightmare and she'd be here, in her room, alive and well."Her voice broke on the last words, and fresh tears spilled down her cheeks.Victor set t
Chapter 470:
"Okay," Phineas said finally, "I've reviewed his communication patterns for the last six months.”“Phone calls are mostly work-related or calls to his wife.”“Emails are boring…work stuff, online shopping, newsletters.”“Social media is minimal…he's barely active on any platform.”“The most exciting thing I found is that he's part of a solar energy professionals' forum where they discuss panel efficiency ratings.""So he's exactly what he appears to be," Debra Zachs said. "A solar engineer who walked out on his family twenty-five years ago and is now trying to make amends by attending his estranged daughter's funeral.""Looks that way," Phineas confirmed. "Unless he's the most careful, most thoroughly covered operative I've ever seen, this guy is clean, General. He's not a threat."General Carl Gerald rubbed his face, feeling the exhaustion of the day catching up with him. "Alright. Keep monitoring him anyway. If anything changes, if he contacts anyone suspicious, if his patterns d
Chapter 469:
"I'm saying I don't know where it came from," Phineas immediately admitted."I've tried every technique I know to trace it. I've used tools that most people don't even know exist. And I keep hitting walls. Quantum encryption walls. Futuristic, next-level walls.""Could it be our own technology?" Captain Luke asked."Could someone within the Elite Division or another domestic agency be using our own classified tech against us?""Possible," Phineas said. "But honestly? I don't think even our most advanced communication security is this sophisticated.”“This is beyond anything I've seen from our domestic agencies.""Then who?" General Carl Gerald demanded. "Who has access to this level of technology?"Phineas shook his head helplessly. "I don't know. Foreign intelligence services? Private military contractors?”“Some tech company's black research division? A group like Maya Denver's organization if they've somehow acquired next-gen tech?”“I genuinely don't know, General Carl Gerald… And
