The man in the black suit stood a few steps away from Asher; neither of them looked nervous as they watched each other.Lucas leaned closer to Nathan and whispered, “Are we fighting or talking?"From his expression, it had been a while since he had shot a sniper, which had been his strength, and he was already getting bored.Nathan didn't take his eyes off the stranger. "If you start a fight, I'm leaving you her

150: Declaration Of War
The damaged cassette recorder was in the center of the conference table.For a while, no one spoke.Samuel adjusted another audio filter. Static filled the space once again.Nathan folded his arms. "We've listened to this dozens of times. There has to be something else."Serena didn't answer. She isolated another section of the recording.For several seconds, only static could be heard. Then a faint voice emerged. "...the mirror..."The recording immediately cut off again.Lucas frowned. "The mirror?"Arthur looked thoughtful. "A person?"Marcus slowly shook his head. "Or a code."Nathan turned toward Asher. "What do you think?"Asher was intentionally silent. He expected them to ask the obvious question.His fingers lightly on the old
149: The Archive Of Shadows
Dust drifted through the abandoned military archive. The building had been forgotten for decades; broken shelves leaned against cracked walls, rust covering old steel cabinets.Two shadowy figures stood several meters apart. Each had entered through a different passage.Neither trusted the other. It was a sole mission for them and not collaboration.The taller man reached a steel cabinet first and forced it open. Inside was a sealed military envelope.Before his hand could touch it, the second figure moved forward. The envelope fell to the dusty floor.A fierce struggle erupted. Neither wasted breath talking. Every movement was fast and intentional.Just as one reached for a concealed dagger, a calm voice echoed through the archive."You're searching the wrong cabinet."The two strangers halted in their tracks. Slowly
148: Another Crack
In the hidden council chamber, no reports were being read, and no orders were being given.Eleven figures sat around the circular table. The twelfth chair was still empty, and silence felt heavier than authority.After a while, one council member broke it. "We've lost three operations in seven days."Another voice replied coldly, "Because someone made mistakes."A third member leaned forward. "No."All eyes turned toward him."We made mistakes because Asher forced us to."No one laughed or argued.Even the oldest member remained silent. The name Asher now carried weight inside the room, and that alone was enough to make them worry.At Lang Horizon, the old chessboard from the hotel was on Asher's desk.Nathan looked at it again. "I still don't understand why they left it."
147: The Hunter's Reputation
Morning arrived with heavy rain. Lang Horizon’s executive floor was already busy. Samuel continued monitoring the digital trail left by the fake Project Falcon file.Nathan stood beside him. "Anything?"Samuel nodded. "I found one location."Arthur looked interested. "Where?"Samuel enlarged the map. "A luxury hotel."Lucas chimed in. "So our mysterious enemies have good taste."Marcus let out a muffled smile. "Money usually does."Nathan immediately reached for his phone. "I'll assemble a team."Before he could make the call, Asher calmly spoke. "Don't."Nathan looked up. "We finally have a location."Asher nodded. "And that's exactly why we shouldn't rush."Arthur folded his arms. "You think it's a trap?"Asher walked toward th
146: The Trap Within The Trap
At Lang Horizon Group, the executive conference room was exactly how it had always been.Samuel stared at the large monitor as lines of encrypted data continued scrolling across the screen.Nathan walked in carrying a tablet. "Any progress?"Samuel nodded slowly. "I traced the military access."Arthur leaned forward. "To where?"Samuel tapped the keyboard, and a map appeared. One red dot blinked inside the capital."It came from a government terminal."Marcus slowly frowned. "So people inside the government are helping them."Asher, who had been silently reading CASE ZERO, calmly closed the file. "Not that."Everyone turned toward him."They aren't helping the system." A brief pause filled the room. "They are actually the system."Lucas stopped himself fro
144: First Counterattack
The atmosphere inside Lang Horizon had changed, and no one spoke loudly anymore. The deeper they looked into CASE ZERO, the bigger the conspiracy became.Samuel sat before three computer screens. The tiny strip of microfilm continued loading.Rows of strange codes slowly appeared. Nathan walked over carrying breakfast. "Any luck?"Samuel rubbed his tired eyes. "Some, but most of the data was damaged."Nathan placed the food beside him. "What survived?"Samuel pressed another key, and several bank transactions appeared with different dates, locations, and account numbers.Nathan frowned. "Military funds?"Samuel slowly shook his head. "No." He enlarged another document. "They're campaign funds."Marcus looked up immediately. "Political campaigns?"Samuel nodded. "They were secretly financing electi
