The chamber fell silent as The Seer’s soldiers halted their advance, forming a protective circle around her.She stepped forward with an air of supreme confidence, her piercing gaze fixed on Louis.Her voice, cold and commanding, echoed through the vast sanctuary."Enough of this pointless struggle," she said."You’re outnumbered, outmatched, and out of time. Let’s end this charade, shall we?"Louis’s chest heaved as he struggled to steady his breathing.The glow of his hands flickered weakly, a sign of his waning strength.He stepped forward, placing himself between The Seer and the obelisk.“You don’t get to decide when this ends,” Louis spat, his voice trembling with defiance.The Seer’s smirk widened.“Oh, but I do. You see, Louis, I’ve already won. You just don’t know it yet.”The Seer’s tone softened as she began circling him, her words laced with a dangerous allure.“You and I are not so different,” she said.“I, too, once fought to protect the balance. I was like your mother,

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently as The Nexus continued its catastrophic collapse.Chunks of the ceiling rained down, shattering into debris that blocked their path.The air was thick with dust, making it hard to see or breathe.“Move! Don’t stop!” Terminator X bellowed, shoving a falling slab of stone aside as he cleared a path for Juliet and Louis.Juliet grabbed Louis’s arm, trying to keep him steady.His face was pale, his breathing labored, and the faint glow of his hands had all but disappeared.“I’m fine,” Louis muttered, though the strain in his voice betrayed him.“Just keep going.”They sprinted toward the exit, the roar of collapsing stone growing louder behind them.A massive boulder crashed down, blocking their path.“Not this again!” Terminator X growled, slamming his shoulder into the rock. It shifted slightly but didn’t budge.Louis stepped forward, his hands trembling as he summoned the last dregs of his energy.“I’ll move it. Just… get ready to run.”

The skyline of Apple City was a stark contrast to the chaos they had left behind at The Nexus.The bustling streets hummed with life, oblivious to the battles fought in the shadows to protect them.Louis, Juliet, and Terminator X sat in a quiet corner of a rooftop overlooking the city, the weight of their journey evident in their tired expressions.The air was crisp, yet the silence between them carried an unspoken heaviness.It was Juliet who finally broke it.“So, it’s really over,” she said, her voice soft, though it carried a note of doubt.“Is it?” Terminator X replied, leaning back against the wall.“The Seer’s gone, but the damage she caused… It’s not something you just undo.”Louis, sitting with the shard in his hands, turned it over slowly, its faint glow a reminder of the power it held.“The network she built will fall apart without her,” he said quietly.“But this—” he held up the shard, “—this is what started it all.”Juliet shifted closer, her gaze steady. “What are you g

Louis sat in the corner of a modest café in Apple City, his hood pulled low to avoid the curious gazes of passersby.Juliet sat across from him, a determined look on her face, while Terminator X leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.“Have you seen this?” Juliet said, sliding a holo-screen across the table.It displayed a headline that read: “Hero or Threat? The Truth About Louis and the Nexus Collapse.”Louis glanced at it briefly before pushing it aside.“I don’t care what they’re saying.”“You should,” Terminator X said bluntly.“The city’s elites are turning you into public enemy number one. If you ignore this, it’ll only get worse.”Louis sighed, running a hand through his hair.“They don’t know what happened. They weren’t there. Why should I care about their opinions?”“Because their opinions shape the city,” Juliet countered.“And if you want any chance of rebuilding your life—or stopping future threats—you need to face this head-on.”Before Louis could respond, a notificat

Louis froze, the barrage of accusations hitting him like a wave.Juliet stepped in, raising her voice.“Back off! He’s not answering anything without context!”“Oh, let him speak,” Vivian said, her tone saccharine as she waved the reporters closer.“The people deserve to know the truth.”Louis clenched his fists, his voice low but steady.“The truth? The truth is that I stopped The Seer from destroying this city—and probably the world. But you don’t care about that, do you? You care about your headlines and your soundbites.”Vivian chuckled, her laughter light but cutting.“So defensive, Louis. That’s not a good look for someone who claims to be a hero.”Juliet stepped forward, her eyes blazing.“You want a story? Here’s one: Louis put his life on the line to stop The Seer. While people like you sat in your ivory towers, he was out there saving lives. So maybe show a little gratitude.”The crowd murmured, some nodding in agreement, others clearly skeptical.Vivian’s smile faltered for

The murmurs grew louder, this time with a more supportive tone toward Louis. He took a deep breath, drawing strength from Juliet’s unwavering stance.“Vivian’s right about one thing,” Louis began, his voice steady. “I did hold the shard. I fought to control its power because if I hadn’t, none of us would be standing here today.”He stepped forward, his voice rising with conviction. “But what she won’t tell you is what really happened. The Seer was on the verge of destroying everything—this city, its people, its future. I made a choice to stop her, no matter the cost.”Louis turned to the audience, his gaze sweeping over them. “I’ve made mistakes. I’m not perfect. But I’ve never hidden from responsibility. Can Vivian say the same?”The crowd’s murmurs shifted, skepticism giving way to curiosity and even support. Vivian’s frustration was palpable as she tried to regain control.“Don’t let him fool you!” she snapped. “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to deflect from his fail

Back at the AAA Group’s headquarters, Louis leaned over a table cluttered with financial reports, his brows furrowed. Juliet stood beside him, flipping through the pages, her expression equally grim.“This isn’t normal,” Juliet said. “These sudden losses, the canceled contracts—it’s too coordinated to be a coincidence.”“It’s not,” Terminator X said, entering the room. “I did some digging. Hector Lang is behind this. He’s got ties to the Eternals’ remnants, and now he’s targeting us.”Louis slammed his fist on the table. “Hector Lang. I’ve heard the name, but why now? Why is he coming after us?”“Because Vivian made sure of it,” Terminator X replied. “She’s playing puppet master, and Lang is more than happy to be her enforcer.”As Louis worked late into the night, Juliet found herself attending more public events to maintain their connections in Apple City. At one such gathering, she caught the eye of several high-profile bachelors, their interest evident.“Ms. Juliet,” one of them sai

The auctioneer tried to regain control.“Order, please! Bidding resumes at 120 million.”“150,” Hector said smoothly, ignoring the chaos around him.“You should just walk away, Kindsor. It’ll save you the embarrassment.”Louis narrowed his eyes.“160.”“170,” Hector fired back instantly.“You’re not winning this, Louis. This isn’t a battlefield—it’s a chessboard. And I’m always five moves ahead.”Louis leaned forward, his voice low and sharp.“You’re mistaking arrogance for strategy, Hector. It’s a common flaw in people who’ve never fought for what they have.”The crowd murmured again, the tide shifting subtly in Louis’s favor.Just as the bidding reached a fever pitch, the auctioneer raised his hand.“Current bid: 200 million. Going once… going twice…”“250 million,” a smooth, familiar voice called from the back of the room.All heads turned as Vivian stepped into the light, her entrance as dramatic as it was calculated.Her crimson dress and confident stride silenced the room.“Vivia

They moved fast, weaving through the maze-like facility, avoiding patrols, ducking under security cameras.Terminator X led them with ease, his movements precise, like he knew the layout better than anyone.Juliet’s suspicions deepened.“How do you know this place so well?”Terminator X didn’t slow his pace.“I do my homework.”They reached a loading dock, where a sleek black escape vehicle was waiting.Pearl’s instincts were screaming now.This was too clean.Too easy.She stepped in front of Terminator X, blocking his path. “Alright, talk.”He frowned. “We don’t have time for this.”Pearl’s grip on her pistol tightened. “You’re damn right we don’t.”“Why are you really here?”Juliet shifted beside her, scanning his face, her own suspicions solidifying.Terminator X let out a slow breath.Then—He pulled his gun.Juliet’s stomach dropped.Pearl’s gun was already raised.Terminator X’s expression was unreadable, cold.And then he turned his gun on Louis.Louis, still weak, barely mana
CHAPTER 291
Pearl and Juliet moved fast, darting between cover as bullets tore through the walls.Juliet pulled a smoke grenade from her belt, tossing it into the corridor.A thick, gray haze exploded outward.Pearl grabbed Juliet’s wrist. “Move!”They rushed toward the emergency exit, dodging gunfire, weaving through the maze of steel hallways.Pearl grinned. “Not bad. Almost too easy.”And then—A shadow dropped from above.Juliet’s breath caught. “Oh, hell.”Pearl whipped around, gun raised.Standing in the middle of the hallway—Adrian Wolfe.But this wasn’t the same polished businessman they had seen before.Adrian was clad in a sleek, black combat suit, glowing faintly with stolen Eternal technology.A prototype.The plating along his arms pulsed with energy, faint, violet streaks crackling with barely contained power.He cracked his neck. “I was hoping I’d get to test this.”Pearl exhaled. “Of course he has a goddamn power suit.”Adrian smirked. “I don’t believe in leaving things to chance
CHAPTER 290
Adrian Wolfe stood atop his glass-walled penthouse, gazing out at the city he now controlled. The neon skyline stretched before him, a glowing empire built on the ashes of the old rulers.The Obsidian Ring? His now.Silas? Gone.Louis Kindsor? Dying, hunted.Everything was falling into place.With a smirk, Adrian swirled the wine in his glass, watching the news screens across the city.Louis Kindsor’s bounty had set Apple City ablaze.Mercenaries. Bounty hunters. Crime syndicates. Every desperate killer in the city wanted a piece of the fallen king.Adrian took a slow sip, relishing the moment.Let them chase him. Let them break him.By the time Louis finally crawled back into the light… there wouldn’t be anything left of him.Pearl adjusted the black tactical gloves on her hands, exhaling slowly. She hated waiting.Juliet, crouched beside her, had her tablet linked into Adrian’s security grid, hacking through the layers of encrypted firewalls.“Almost there,” Juliet muttered.Pearl’s

He forced his eyes open, locking onto her frantic expression.“Still here,” he muttered. “For now.”Juliet exhaled sharply. She was already running the numbers in her head.He had hours. Maybe less.Pearl, gripping the steering wheel so hard her knuckles went white, snarled, “We should’ve killed Adrian right there. That bastard crushed the only antidote we had.”Juliet’s mind raced.“No, he didn’t,” she said suddenly.Pearl’s gaze snapped to her. “The hell are you talking about?”Juliet’s fingers flew across her tablet, her brain working faster than it ever had before.“I scanned the antidote before we left,” she explained. “The molecular structure was complex—but it was derived from a single key compound.”Louis managed a weak inhale. “Meaning?”Juliet’s eyes flashed. “Meaning I can still make a counteragent.”Pearl’s hands tightened on the wheel. “And what do we need?”Juliet’s voice was cold, calculating.“A sample from Adrian Wolfe.”Silence hung in the car.Pearl was the first to

His gaze sharpened. “And this city is the board.”Louis’s vision blurred for half a second. The poison was accelerating.He needed that antidote. Now.But Adrian knew it.And he was enjoying every second of the game.Adrian tilted his head. “So here’s the deal.”He lifted the vial slightly.“You stand beside me, and we reshape Apple City in our image.”Louis stayed silent.Adrian continued, his smile widening. “Or… you refuse. And you die right here, in front of all these people, gasping for breath while the nanites eat you alive.”Pearl growled. “You smug bastard.”Juliet was already scanning options—but they both knew they had none.Adrian’s eyes never left Louis. “So? What’ll it be?”Louis exhaled slowly.His body screamed. His vision flickered.He knew exactly what Adrian expected.Desperation. Submission. A slow, painful collapse, forcing him to beg.But Louis Kindsor was not built to kneel.His lips curled into a bloody smirk.“Go to hell, Wolfe.”Adrian’s smirk froze.Louis saw
CHAPTER 287
The roar of the crowd had long since died.What was once a battleground had turned into a stage, and Adrian Wolfe was now its master of ceremonies.He walked with the confidence of a man who had already won, his polished black shoes clicking against the bloodstained steel floor.The spotlight followed him as he approached the center of the ring, where Louis stood—bleeding, exhausted, but still standing.Adrian’s clap was slow, deliberate, theatrical.Clap. Clap. Clap.Louis’s jaw tightened. His muscles screamed, his body barely holding together under the weight of the nanite poison burning through his bloodstream.Pearl and Juliet watched from the VIP section, their weapons half-raised, their eyes locked on Adrian.Silas lay broken on the ground, a discarded relic of his own arrogance. His men—once loyal, now uncertain—stood frozen at the edges of the ring, waiting for a new leader to emerge.And Adrian was ready to take the throne.Adrian smiled, his gaze never leaving Louis. “Magnif
CHAPTER 286
The underground arena buzzed with silence—a stark contrast to the riotous roars from earlier.Silas lay crumpled on the steel floor, his face twisted in agony, his broken arm limp at his side.Louis stood over him, his chest heaving, body screaming in pain, but his mind was sharper than ever. The poison still burned through his veins, but fury drowned out the weakness.Silas’s eyes darted around the arena, searching for an escape. For an out.There wasn’t one.Louis grabbed him by the collar, yanking him up, his voice low, lethal. “You wanted this, Vance.”Silas tried to stumble away, but Louis wasn’t done.The crowd had gone eerily silent. The once-vocal supporters of Silas watched in uneasy awe.Pearl, standing in the VIP section, grinned. “Oh, I like this side of him.”Juliet, still focused on Louis’s condition, whispered under her breath. “Finish this.”Silas threw a sloppy punch, his movements sluggish, desperate.Louis sidestepped easily, punishing him with a brutal knee to the
CHAPTER 285
The underground fight club reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The walls vibrated with the deafening roar of the crowd, their voices a chaotic mix of excitement and bloodlust.Louis stepped into the makeshift ring, the brutal glow of the overhead lights casting long shadows on the concrete floor. His body ached from the poison still coursing through his veins, but his mind was sharp.Silas wanted a show.Louis was going to give him one.Pearl and Juliet stood in the VIP section, forced to watch from behind a bulletproof glass enclosure.Pearl’s fingers tapped against the metal railing. “I don’t like this.”Juliet’s eyes were locked onto Louis, scanning his movements. Something was off. His stance, his reaction time—it wasn’t just the poison.She grabbed her tablet, furiously typing as she tried to access the fight’s security feeds.Seconds later, she found exactly what she feared.Her voice dropped into a deadly whisper. “Silas drugged him before the match.”Pearl’s expression we
CHAPTER 284
Ghost had done more than try to kill him.He had crippled him.Pearl noticed the change first. “Louis, what the hell is wrong with you?”Louis tried to answer—but the words didn’t come.His throat locked. His pulse spiked erratically.Juliet’s eyes darted to him—widening in alarm.“Shit. He’s going into shock.”She tapped frantically on her screen, scanning his vitals.“His blood’s flooding with foreign nanites. His body’s rejecting them—like an autoimmune attack.”Pearl cursed. “Translation?”Juliet’s jaw clenched. “If we don’t get him treatment, he’ll be dead in less than an hour.”Pearl’s grip on her pistol tightened. “Then let’s get the hell out of here.”The drive through Apple City’s backstreets was a blur.Louis drifted in and out of consciousness, his body locked in a constant war with itself.The car screeched to a halt outside an abandoned auto shop—one of Pearl’s safe locations buried beneath the city’s grid.They hauled Louis inside, where a lone medic was waiting.An olde
