Chapter 148
Chris locked eyes with Julian. The sapphire glow in Chris's eyes was cold and steady."It’s interesting you mention ghost-engineers, Julian," Chris said. His voice was calm, but it carried a sharp edge. "I imagine a man with your history in the Northern Capital of 'borrowing' work would be sensitive to that. How is the Blue-Star investigation going? I heard the authorities are getting very close to the source. It would be a shame if those transaction records were made public."Julian’s face went from smug to ghostly pale in an instant. He choked on his drink, coughing into his hand."I... I don't know what you're talking about," Julian stammered, his confidence vanishing."I think you do," Chris said, leaning in. "You rebooked your flight from the Capital because you’re desperate. Don't come into my house and insult my work while your own career is held together by lies. Sit down, buy a unit, and stay quiet."Julian didn't say another word. He practically ran toward the back of the ro

The morning sun hit the glass towers of Greene Global, making the entire building look like a pillar of light. The long awaited day for the launch of the newly created module of machines had finally arrived. Thousands of people packed the plaza. The noise was constant—a mix of cheering, camera shutters, and the low hum of expensive car engines. Inside the lobby, the air was cool and smelled of fresh lilies and expensive perfume.Chris Greene stood near the center of the room. He checked his Chronos watch. The sapphire screen was currently displaying a rapid stream of data from BODAS. He wasn't just watching the sales; he was watching the people.The massive glass doors slid open, and the elite guests began to filter in.First to approach were Marcus Sterling and Elena Vance. Unlike the others, their faces were bright with genuine pride. They had been loyal to the Mikaelson name long before Chris took the throne, and seeing him succeed felt like a victory for the family."Chris Greene

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
Chapter 145
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
