Chapter 95
The sound of the luxurious wall clock ticking in the master bedroom of the Sterling residence seemed to race against the increasingly pounding heartbeat. The long-awaited night had finally arrived. Under the city sky that was beginning to grow dim with the sway of cyber neon lights, the atmosphere inside the minimalist house felt so starkly in contrast with the hustle and bustle of the banquet preparations outside.Natalie Sterling stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. A modern-style evening gown with a distinct Korean cut in deep maroon hugged her slender body perfectly. The bold maroon color contrasted sharply with her porcelain skin, giving off the impression of the elegance of a dominant yet captivating upper-faction CEO. Her black hair was tied in a modern bun, leaving a few strands framing her beautiful face."Miss Natalie, the pickup car from the Sterling Group protocol team has arrived in front of the gate," Alena reported via a cyber call hanging in the room's ai

Morning in the Western Sector began with extraordinary activity at Sterling Group's headquarters. After the news of the massive collapse of Miller Group and Vance Corporation spread widely, Sterling Group's position on the stock market soared sharply. Natalie Sterling stood beside the large window in her office, gazing at the cityscape with a faint smile that radiated the confidence of a newly established ruler of the upper faction.Knock! Knock!Alena stepped inside after the door was knocked on twice. The secretary's face was bright as she placed a red leather folder containing important documents on Natalie's marble desk."Miss Natalie, the board of commissioners has just sent the final agenda for the business banquet two nights from now," Alena said enthusiastically. "All the preparations have been completed. The digital invitations have also begun to be distributed throughout the Western faction's elite network and to international representatives."Natalie walked toward her desk

Inside the main command center of the Northern Sector military headquarters, the atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the seedy bar and the conspiracy-filled office of the Western faction. Soundproof steel walls reinforced with polymer panels enclosed dozens of massive monitors displaying the city's cyber data streams in real time. At the center of the room, General Yudha Negara stood with impeccable posture. His three-star military uniform was perfectly pressed, radiating the absolute authority feared by every elite faction in the city.Yet before a young man sitting leisurely in a single leather chair, the General lowered his head in profound respect.Raymond. The man who spent his days wearing a worn cloth apron and wiping café tables while enduring Julian Vance's insults now sat with remarkable composure. He wore nothing more than a plain black shirt, yet his pair of pitch-black eyes exuded a chilling aura capable of freezing the courage of anyone daring enough to meet his gaze.

The steady tapping of fingers against the mahogany desk echoed through the room, blending with the sound of the rain outside that had begun to subside. Thomas Sterling—now fully in control of what remained of the Western Faction's conspiracy—studied the digital blueprint of a five-star hotel ballroom displayed on his tablet. Beside him, Julian Vance and Chloe Miller watched with bated breath, placing what remained of their lives in the hands of the middle-aged man before them."Sterling Group's business banquet. This will be our stage," Thomas Sterling said, his voice low and filled with deadly tactical confidence. He swiped across the screen, revealing a list of conglomerates and speculative investors from the outside faction.Julian Vance frowned, his jaw tightening with curiosity."Uncle Thomas, how can a banquet held in Natalie's company's name possibly benefit us? Vance Corporation's assets have already been frozen by the Central Bank!""That's exactly why we take advantage of th

Heavy rain pounded the roof of the old mansion on the outskirts of the Western Sector, masking the sound of a car engine that was hastily switched off in the parking courtyard. Two figures stepped out of the vehicle in a hurry, pulling their thick coats over their faces to shield themselves from the glow of the cyber streetlights. Julian Vance and Chloe Miller. The two heirs of business dynasties who had dominated the city's stock market only yesterday now stumbled through the dark corridor toward Thomas Sterling's secret study. The atmosphere inside the room was suffocating, heavy with the scent of expensive cigars and the stifling tension of political intrigue. Thomas Sterling sat behind his massive mahogany desk, narrowing his eyes as he watched the arrival of the two cornered rats. There was no warmth, no formal greeting—only the chilling aura of a seasoned politician watching his investment crumble before his eyes. "Two brilliant heirs to their respective thrones," Thomas Ster

The golden afternoon sunlight streamed through the large glass windows of the Sterling Group CEO's office, casting a warm glow across Natalie Sterling's white marble desk. The silence that usually filled the room with the pressure of work was suddenly shattered when the double teakwood doors at the far end of the office were pushed open forcefully.Bang!Alena, Natalie's personal secretary and most trusted confidante, rushed inside, breathing heavily. Her face was flushed from running up from the lower floor, but her sparkling eyes radiated pure excitement that she could no longer conceal. In her hands, she clutched a digital tablet tightly."Miss Natalie! This... this is truly a miracle!" Alena exclaimed, her voice rising excitedly as it broke the tension that had lingered in the office since morning. She hurried toward Natalie's desk without paying any attention to the formal office etiquette she normally observed.Natalie Sterling slo
