Chapter 146
The interrogation was over, but Chris was not finished. He did not feel pity for the man in the chair. He felt only the need to send a message that the Inquisitor would never forget.Chris turned his head toward the heavy iron door. "Leo," he called out. His voice was not loud, but it carried an authority that was heavier than usual.The head guard of the Mikaelson tactical unit, stepped forward. He was a mountain of a man, dressed in black combat gear. He did not ask questions. He simply stood at attention, waiting for his Master’s command."The Inquisitor thinks he can send warnings into my home," Chris said, pointing a steady finger at the hitman. "He thinks he can strike at me and remain hidden. He is wrong. He needs to understand the price of entry into Onyx Harbor."Leo looked at the prisoner, then back at Chris. "What are your orders, Sir?""I want you to take a piece of him," Chris said. His voice was flat, devoid of any human emotion. "Cut off his right arm. Cleanly."Leo nod

On Chris’s tablet, a brain-map began to glow. Chris stepped back and began observing as the information flooded his screen.Words and images started to flicker across the screen. There were blurred locations of hidden warehouses and lists of names that meant nothing to a normal person. Then, a specific symbol appeared. It was a black sun with jagged rays. The hitman’s body arched in the chair. His spine looked like it might snap. A high-frequency pulse surged through his brain again. It was a digital battering ram, bypassing his elite willpower. It forced his nervous system to leak the secrets he had sworn to protect. The hitman’s breathing was getting shallow. It was now a series of choking sounds. A thin line of blood ran from his right ear, tracing a path down his neck. His eyes, which had been narrowed in defiance, began to change. The white parts of his eyes were filled with broken vessels. They turned a dark, bruised red."You are hurting yourself for men who do not care if yo

The sleek, armored helicopter tore through the rain-streaked sky above the industrial district, far away from the glitz and glamour of Onyx Harbor. Inside the cabin, the air was silent, save for the low hum of the BODAS interface running on Chris’s tablet. He stared out the window as the neon lights of the city faded, replaced by the rusting skeletons of abandoned factories below. They were descending toward "The Iron Vault," a repurposed underground warehouse that the Mikaelson family used for "special" conversations.The aircraft touched down with precision on a hidden landing pad. Two guards in tactical gear stepped out of the shadows of the warehouse eaves, their rifles lowered only when they recognized the Mikaelson crest on the helicopter's tail. The heavy steel gates of the building groaned open, and Chris stepped off the pad into a cavernous space lit by flickering industrial lamps. The smell of oil, damp concrete, and fear hung heavy in the air."Is he ready?" Chris asked, hi

In a small, cramped living room on the edge of the city, the air felt heavy with the scent of cheap wine and desperation. Charlotte Woods sat on the edge of a worn-out sofa, her eyes fixed on the television screen. The apartment was a far cry from the luxury she had once known; the walls were thin, and the coffee table was buried under a pile of red-inked foreclosure notices and unpaid bills.The news broadcast from Onyx Harbor was playing on every channel. As the camera zoomed in on the CEO of Greene Global, Charlotte’s hand began to tremble. The wine glass she was holding slipped from her fingers, hitting the floor with a dull thud. Red liquid bloomed across the carpet like a dark stain, but she didn’t even flinch."No... that’s not possible," she stammered, her voice cracking. "That’s not him. It can’t be."Her eyes were glued to the screen, tracing the sharp, expensive lines of the Italian suit Chris was wearing. He looked taller, broader, and radiated an absolute authority she ha

The executive floor of Carter Group in Arcadia City was usually calm and serious, where important decisions were made behind closed doors. But today felt different. Tension filled the room. Michelle Carter stood in her office, the city skyline behind her. She ignored the files on her desk. Her eyes stayed fixed on the large digital screen.On the screen, Chris Greene was finishing his statement. He stood tall, his presence filling the frame with an authority that seemed to be felt through the glass. Michelle felt a familiar tightness in her chest—not of anxiety, but of profound, overwhelming pride.She hadn’t been there in the dark years when he was enduring the insults of the Woods family. She hadn't seen him washing dishes or taking the blame for things he didn't do. But from the moment their paths had crossed, she had seen the spark that everyone else was too blind or too arrogant to notice. While the world called him "trash," she had looked into his eyes and seen a King waiting fo

The conference room at Greene Global had been transformed into a high-tech reporting room in under ten minutes. Professional cameras on tripods were angled toward the head of the table, and the large LED wall behind Chris’s seat was dark, waiting for the signal. Military personnel stood at the doors, their presence ensuring that no one—not even the Thorne family’s strongest lawyers—could interrupt this moment.Governor Sterling sat off-camera, watching with a mixture of anxiety and awe. The reporter checked her microphone and looked at Chris."We are live in ten seconds, Mr. Greene," she whispered. "The feed is being picked up by every major network. Literally everyone that can get this signal is live streaming to personal devices across the harbor."Chris adjusted his tie and looked directly into the lens. He didn't look like a man under pressure. He looked like a judge."Three... two... one. We are live."The reporter spoke with professional urgency. "This is a global exclusive. We
