The class monitor, Lisa, stood trembling, tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked at Red Fang.

The gang leader leaned back lazily against the wall, his wolfish grin taunting her.

His men chuckled and leered, their laughter echoing in the dimly lit alley.

Red Fang glanced at Kurt, who was still frozen in place.

“Tell you what, peacock boy,” he said with a mocking smirk, “since you’re her ‘knight in shining feathers,’ I’ll give you a chance. Pay me—let’s say... $10,000—and I’ll forget this little incident ever happened.”

Kurt’s eyes widened in panic.

“T-Ten thousand? Are you insane?” he stammered, his voice cracking.

Red Fang shrugged, his grin widening.

“Cheap price for a friend, don’t you think? Or would you rather I let my boys have their fun? I bet she’d fetch a nice profit in certain markets.”

Lisa gasped in horror, clutching her chest as the gangsters laughed cruelly.

“Come on, Kurt!” Lisa cried, her voice breaking. “

You promised you’d help me! Please!”

Kurt’s mind raced.

    Max lounged in his apartment, enjoying a rare moment of quiet, when his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, frowning at the unfamiliar number.“Who is this?” he asked, his tone sharp.A gruff voice came through the line. “You don’t know me, but your little friend Lisa gave me your number. She thinks you’re her knight in shining armor.”Max stiffened. “What do you want?”The man chuckled darkly. “Money. Fifty grand. Bring it to the warehouse on 6th Street. And don’t even think about calling the cops. Otherwise...” His voice turned cold, “We’ll have some fun with her first. Maybe she gets out alive, maybe she doesn’t.”Max clenched his jaw, his mind racing. Lisa wasn’t his closest friend, but she had always treated him kindly. He owed her.“I’ll bring the money,” Max said curtly. “Don’t touch her.”The man laughed. “You’ve got two hours. Don’t be late, hero.”As the call ended, Max immediately dialed his butler, Winston.“Winston, I need fifty grand in cash. Now.”Winston’s calm voi

    Lisa’s sobs grew louder as the gang members encircled her like vultures eyeing their prey. Red Fang leaned against the wall, arms crossed, smirking as he surveyed the scene.“Well, sweetheart,” he said, his voice dripping with mockery, “your knight in shining armor is tied up too. Who’s gonna save you now? The tooth fairy?”The men around him laughed cruelly, their leering gazes sending shivers down Lisa’s spine. One of them stepped closer, running his fingers through her hair.“She’s a pretty one, boss,” he said with a sneer. “I say we start with her dignity first, then deal with the rest.”Lisa jerked her head away, her voice trembling. “Stay away from me!”“Oh, feisty,” another thug mocked, cracking his knuckles. “I like when they fight back. Makes it more fun.”Red Fang gestured toward Lisa, his smile widening. “She dared to slap me. Let’s teach her a lesson she’ll never forget. One by one.”The men closed in, their laughter echoing ominously in the cold, dimly lit warehouse. Lisa

    Red Fang gritted his teeth as he watched Max and Winston stand before him.His eyes burned with fury at the sheer audacity they displayed.“You dare insult me in my territory?” Red Fang growled, his voice echoing through the warehouse.“Do you know who I am? People tremble when they hear my name!”Max dusted off his shirt, looking unimpressed. “Oh, we’ve heard your name,” he said nonchalantly.“It’s just that we don’t care. You’re a small-time loser who took my money and now thinks he can take my life too.”The gang members stirred uneasily, looking to their leader for a reaction.Red Fang’s face turned crimson with rage.“You little punk!” he bellowed.“I’ve ruled this area for years! No one disrespects me and walks out alive!”Winston stepped forward, his demeanor calm yet menacing.His piercing gaze landed squarely on Red Fang, and the air in the warehouse seemed to drop several degrees.“Let me make one thing clear,” Winston said coldly.“You’ve already crossed a line by taking m

    Winston's expression darkened as he adjusted his pristine white gloves, his voice cutting through the warehouse air like a steel blade."Since you seem woefully ignorant of whose time you're wasting, allow me to educate you. I am Winston, chief butler of the Montgomery family."The Red Fang, who had been sneering just moments before, froze mid-gesture. His face twitched as the implications sank in."The Montgomery family," Winston continued, each word dripping with calculated disdain."Isn't some neighborhood social club you can extort for pocket change. We're the kind of family that makes people like you disappear with a phone call. And yet here you are, manhandling the young master like some common thug. Tell me, did your mother drop you on your head, or are you simply eager to test if your life insurance is up to date?"Red Fang's tough facade cracked like cheap porcelain."W-wait just a minute! This has to be some kind of mistake!""Mistake?" Winston's eyebrow arched dangerously.

    Red Fang, still trembling from the earlier ordeal, bowed so low his nose nearly scraped the ground.His voice was shaky but laced with desperate gratitude."Young master, thank you for your mercy! I swear I’ll release the girl immediately, and I’ll make sure the one who dared to kidnap her learns his lesson. He’ll regret the day he was born!"Max leaned back against a nearby wall, arms crossed, his expression one of amused indifference."You should regret your choices too, Fang. But I suppose there’s hope for you yet. Show me that you can follow through, and maybe, just maybe, I won’t remember tonight as the day I should’ve crushed you like the bug you are.""Of course, young master! I’ll handle it personally!" Red Fang snapped his fingers, gesturing frantically to his men."Bring the girl here! And get that idiot who took her—tie him up and drag him out!"The thugs scrambled to obey, their earlier bravado replaced by sheer terror.Two of them disappeared into a side room, and moments

    The grand hall of the Montgomery estate was alive with chatter and laughter as people mingled in groups.The afternoon sun streamed through the large windows, lighting up the golden decorations that sparkled around the room.Kurt adjusted his tie nervously.He had been looking for Johnson Kingsley and his girlfriend, Amanda, all afternoon.Finally, he spotted them standing near a group of influential guests."Ah, there he is," Kurt muttered to himself as he began making his way over to them.As Kurt approached, Johnson noticed him first. He smiled broadly and waved."Kurt! I was wondering when you'd show up," he said, extending his hand.Kurt shook his hand with enthusiasm, a bright smile on his face."Mr. Kingsley, it’s such an honor to see you. Always a pleasure," he said, the words flowing easily.Amanda, standing beside Johnson, gave Kurt a polite smile but didn’t say much.She was used to these types of interactions and didn’t seem particularly impressed.Kurt kept his focus on J

    Kurt nodded, trying to absorb what Johnson was saying."I understand. Loyalty and discretion. I can handle that, no problem." He gave a confident smile, hoping it didn’t sound too rehearsed."Good," Johnson said, his tone approving."Just remember, it’s not about who you know—it’s about how you handle yourself. If you want to work with them, you have to show that you’re trustworthy. One wrong move, and it’s over.""I get it, Mr. Kingsley," Kurt said quickly, his voice steady."I’ve learned that the hard way in business before. I won’t make the same mistakes."Johnson patted him on the back."I’m sure you won’t. You’ve got the right attitude. Now, let’s see what happens.""Thank you again, Mr. Kingsley. I really can’t express how much I appreciate this," Kurt said, standing taller, feeling a rush of excitement. He knew this was his big chance.Amanda, now looking a bit more interested, spoke again."By the way, there’s something else you should know. The Montgomerys are making a big an

    Kurt’s face turned red as he clenched his jaw, struggling to keep his composure."What are you doing here, Max?" Kurt snapped, unable to hide his disdain."Did they run out of animals for the zoo, so they invited a stray dog like you?"Max chuckled, not bothered by the insult in the slightest."I don’t know, Kurt. Maybe I’m the one who’s been invited to this fancy banquet, while you’re still licking your wounds from our last ‘meal’ together. How’s that going, by the way?"At that moment, Emily, who had been standing nearby with some of the other guests, noticed the tension between the two men.Her gaze shifted between Max and Kurt, her brow furrowing in confusion."Are you both invited here?" Emily asked, walking over to stand beside Max, clearly curious. She didn't expected that Max would be here.Max turned to her with a playful glint in his eye."Oh, nothing. Just a little walk down memory lane with our dear friend Kurt here." He turned back to Kurt, his voice louder this time."Yo

    Max sat in the dim glow of his penthouse suite, the black folder still open in front of him. Elliot’s photo stared back at him, a reminder of how far they had come—and how far they had fallen.His mind churned. They expected him to kill Elliot. His first act as an Architect was to erase one of the few people who had never betrayed him.This was the real test.Not just loyalty—but obedience.And he had exactly one week to decide.The Obsidian Tower loomed above Zurich, its presence a silent declaration of power. Max walked into the private boardroom, where Silas Grayson sat waiting, his silver hair neatly combed, his fingers tapping against his whiskey glass.Anastasia Voss and Viktor LaSalle were there too, watching him closely.Silas gave him a measured look. “You’ve reviewed the file?”Max nodded. “I have.”Anastasia tilted her head. “And?”Max leaned back in his chair, his face unreadable. “I’ll handle it.”Viktor smirked. “Good. We thought you might hesitate.”Max forced a slight

    Max had played dangerous games before—blackmail, deception, assassination. But nothing compared to this.He wasn’t just infiltrating The Architects.He was becoming one of them.Every day inside their empire gave him more access—to their networks, their systems, their vulnerabilities. He was slipping through the cracks, learning their deepest secrets.And yet, the deeper he went…The more he changed.Emily sat across from him in their penthouse suite in Zurich, watching him with cautious eyes. The glow from the city skyline reflected against the glass, illuminating the silence between them.“You’re different,” she said finally.Max didn’t look up from the encrypted files on his tablet. “I have to be.”Emily leaned forward, frustration flickering in her gaze. “That’s not what I mean. You’re colder. More distant.”Max exhaled, setting the tablet down. “I don’t have the luxury of hesitation. Every move I make, every word I say—it’s all a calculation now.”Emily’s voice softened. “I know

    Max adjusted his cufflinks, his reflection staring back at him from the polished elevator doors. His new identity—Alexander Mercer, global investor, power broker, and the latest addition to the world’s most exclusive circle—was flawless. Every record, every transaction, and every piece of fabricated history had been carefully placed to ensure he belonged here.This was the game now.He wasn’t storming their gates. He was walking through the front door.The elevator chimed softly, and the doors slid open to reveal the highest floor of the Obsidian Tower—an unmarked skyscraper in the heart of Zurich, its existence wiped from public records.Inside, the air carried an unspoken weight.The room was lavish but without excess—old power, the kind that didn’t need to prove itself. Dark marble floors, dim chandeliers, and a long, polished table where men and women sat, their expressions unreadable.These weren’t just billionaires.These were the ones who built empires, destroyed nations, and r

    Max sat in the dimly lit study, his father’s message still echoing in his head."If you fight them, they will use everything against you—including the people you love."The weight of those words pressed against his chest like a vice. The Architects had shaped history, controlled evolution, and erased threats before they ever became problems.And now, he had a choice.Destroy them completely—trigger a war that would rip the world apart.Or infiltrate them—take their power, and rewrite the rules himself.Elliot paced near the fireplace, his expression dark. “There’s no way in hell we let them live, Max. We wipe them out. No negotiations, no deals.”Red Fang leaned against the bookshelf, arms crossed. “And how do you propose we do that, genius? They’re not a single organization. They’re a system. A shadow network that’s been running the world for centuries.”Elliot turned on him. “So what? We just let them keep playing god?”Max didn’t respond. He was still running the numbers in his hea

    The room smelled of old leather and expensive whiskey. Max stood in the dimly lit study of his grandfather’s estate, a place he hadn’t seen in years. The flickering firelight cast long shadows across the mahogany furniture, illuminating the figure seated in the grand leather chair before him.His grandfather, William Montgomery, looked as sharp as ever—aged, but unbroken. His eyes, once filled with the cold calculation of a businessman, now held something deeper. Something Max had never seen before.Regret.The old man exhaled slowly, placing a heavy, black metallic box on the table between them.“This belonged to your father,” William said, his voice carrying the weight of decades.Max’s fingers twitched. “You said this was about him.”William nodded. “Because I wasn’t the only one keeping secrets, Max. Your father knew something—a truth so dangerous, he died trying to keep it from them.”Max didn’t hesitate. He unlatched the box and lifted the lid.Inside, resting against the velvet

    The paper in Max’s hands felt heavier than it should. The Global Selection Initiative – Phase IV wasn’t just another classified document—it was a blueprint for something far worse than he had imagined.“Survival is not a right. It is a choice.”Max read the words again, his pulse hammering. This wasn’t just about controlling governments. The Architects were deciding who lived and who didn’t.Emily stepped closer, her voice hesitant. “Max… what does it say?”He exhaled slowly, then handed her the document. “They’re choosing who gets to survive.”Emily’s face paled as she skimmed the contents. “What the hell does that even mean?”Molly sat cross-legged on the ground, her fingers flying over her laptop. “Give me a second—I need to see if this is just a proposal or if they’ve already started.”Red Fang ran a hand through his blood-matted hair. “We just blew up their damn vault. You really think they’re gonna let us dig into this?”Max’s grip tightened. “They don’t have a choice.”Molly’s

    The alarms blared like a dying siren, echoing through the underground vault. Red emergency lights bathed the crumbling chamber in a hellish glow, warning of imminent destruction.Max’s pulse pounded. They had minutes—maybe less—before this entire place turned into a grave.Molly was furiously pulling encrypted data from the core servers, her fingers flying across the keyboard. “Almost there! I just need another minute—”Elliot fired off another round, taking down an advancing Architect security officer. “You’ve got thirty seconds!”Red Fang staggered into the chamber, blood streaking down his arm. “We have got to go! The whole damn ceiling is caving in!”Max scanned the room—his team was in chaos, and the Architects weren’t letting them leave alive. They needed an escape plan. Fast.More Architect forces stormed into the vault, their movements quick, lethal.Elliot didn’t hesitate. He sprinted forward, using a fallen metal beam for cover as he fired a barrage of bullets. “Max, get tha

    The air inside the private jet was thick with tension. The GPS coordinates Luciana had given them were clear—Tokyo. Beneath the city, buried under layers of secrecy, lay a vault that could hold the answers they needed.Max sat in the cockpit, his fingers tapping against the armrest. His mind was still processing Luciana’s death, the betrayal at the safe house, and the fact that they were now flying straight into a hornet’s nest.Red Fang leaned against the cabin wall, arms crossed. “Tell me again why we’re trusting a dead woman’s final clue?”Molly’s voice crackled through their comms. “Because it’s all we have. The Architects erased Luciana because she knew something. And whatever’s in that vault is what they don’t want us to find.”Elliot, seated across from Max, smirked. “We better find it fast, then. We’ve already pissed them off enough.”Max exhaled. The Architects didn’t just eliminate threats. They erased them. And now, they were about to walk straight into one of their most cl

    The safe house was buried deep in the Swiss Alps, a nondescript cabin built into the side of a ridge. The cold, crisp air cut through the trees, the kind of isolation that made it feel like the rest of the world didn’t exist.But Max knew better.Nothing was safe anymore.Inside, the dim lighting flickered as Luciana Dantes lay on a couch, her breathing shallow. The bullet that had grazed her at the meeting point hadn’t been fatal, but it had left her weakened.Red Fang stood by the front door, scanning the tree line with his rifle. “I don’t like this,” he muttered. “Too quiet.”Max was pacing, every muscle in his body wound tight. “The Architects don’t let people walk away from them. They let us take her because they wanted to.”Emily adjusted the makeshift bandage on Luciana’s shoulder. “Then why aren’t they here yet?”Luciana opened her eyes, her voice weak but sharp. “Because they don’t just send armies, Max.” She met his gaze. “They send doubt.”A chill ran down Max’s spine.Befo
