The world's wealthiest man taking orders?"I never thought I'd see Terminator X defer to anyone," someone whispered. "Who is Louis really?""Shut your mouth," another guest hissed.Terminator X's commanding voice cut through the whispers. "Let me make something clear."The guests collectively stiffened, their breaths held."Money might buy you access to this island," he continued, his tone glacial, "but it doesn't buy you the right to create such... embarrassing situations."Even he calls it embarrassing, Juliet thought, her eyes fixed on Louis's unreadable expression."Of course not, sir!" several guests rushed to agree."We would never dream of causing trouble!""Absolutely understood, sir!"Terminator X's gaze swept the room."Anyone who forgets this will find themselves permanently blacklisted. No future cooperation. No exceptions."The threat hung heavy in the air, mingling with the lingering scent of flowers and fear."Crystal clear, sir!""We value any business relationships!

"Though perhaps," Terminator X added with a rare smile, "now you understand why some of us are so... protective of him.""Am I disappointing you?" Louis asked with a playful smile."Not quite the big shot you might have imagined?"Juliet shook her head, her eyes bright with interest. "Not at all! I had no idea you were so skilled in medicine. It's actually quite impressive."But something doesn't add up, she thought, studying Louis's serene expression. But what?Terminator X's sharp eyes caught Juliet's contemplative look. "Miss Juliet, if you wouldn't mind giving us a moment? I need to discuss something private with Louis.""Of course," Juliet nodded politely, though reluctance showed in her movements.As she walked toward the exit, her heels clicking against the marble floor.The remaining guests huddled near the doorway, their whispers growing bolder as they exchanged meaningful looks."Phew!”“So it was just Terminator X being grateful to his savior.” "No wonder Terminator X

The atmosphere in the VIP lounge grew heavy as Louis's expression darkened.He moved to the window, watching the waves crash against Necker Island's pristine shore."Any progress on the investigation I requested, old friend?" Louis's voice was barely above a whisper.Commander Terminator X shifted in his Italian leather chair, bearing evident even in repose. His face, marked by years of command and boardroom battles, showed genuine regret. "Despite all my resources and connections, we've found no conclusive evidence regarding your mother's death, Louis."Louis closed his eyes, memories washing over him like a cold tide. The platinum ring on his finger caught the dying sunlight, throwing shadows across his face."This ring," he said, twisting it slowly, "was her last gift to me. My birthday... who would have thought it would be our final moment together?"The weight of this ring has grown heavier with each passing year, Louis thought, his chest tightening with familiar grief.Termi

"The man who cast me aside without a second thought, who replaced my mother's memory so quickly. Tell me, X, what kind of man shows more emotion over a business deal than his wife's death?"Terminator X's jaw tightened, years of military command having taught him to read between the lines. "Should I redirect our resources to investigate your father's activities from that period?"Louis stared at the photograph for a long moment before carefully returning it to his wallet. "Yes, but be discrete. If there's something to find, I don't want to alert anyone to our suspicions.""Of course. I'll handle this personally, with my most trusted team."The room fell silent save for the distant sound of waves. Louis touched his mother's ring again, feeling its familiar coolness against his skin."Sometimes I wonder," he said softly, "if she knew she was leaving me a mystery to solve, not just a memento to pass on to my future wife."Terminator X's voice carried the conviction of a man who had wo

Louis's self-mocking laugh echoed in the VIP lounge. "You don't understand Pearl at all, X. Don't mention her name to me again."Terminator X straightened his tie, his expression grave. "There's something else you should know. She's already traced you to Apple City. With the Cavendish family's connections, finding you here will be child's play for her."The crystal decanter clinked against Louis's glass as he poured another drink. "Let her come then," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. "What difference would it make? Too much has happened between us. “Even if we meet..." He shook his head. "Some bridges can't be rebuilt.""You're staying in Apple City?" Terminator X inquired carefully."For now. There's something important I need to handle." Louis's tone made it clear the discussion was over.Some wounds are better left unopened, Louis thought, setting down his glass with finality.Stepping out of the VIP lounge into the corridor, Louis immediately spotted Juliet waiting, her

“Miss Cavendish, the arrangements have been made,” her assistant murmured as they entered the quiet hotel.Pearl Cavendish stepped out of the sleek black car with a calm elegance that belied her true purpose.Flanked by her entourage, she adjusted her wide-brimmed hat, shielding her face from prying eyes.Apple City was alive with its usual buzz, but Pearl’s arrival was under the radar—just the way she wanted it.She had no intention of indulging the media or high society with her presence.Her purpose was personal, and she intended to keep it that way.Pearl nodded. “Good. Leave me.”Once alone, she reached for her phone and dialed the only person who could help her now: Terminator X.Terminator X, answered the call on the first ring.His voice was clipped, professional.“Miss Cavendish, I wasn’t expecting to hear from you.”“I’m sure you weren’t,” Pearl replied, her tone cold.“But I need to know—Louis is here, isn’t he?”There was a pause on the line, the faint sound of typing in

Juliet Parker stood in the hallway outside Louis’s penthouse, debating whether she should knock.She hadn’t seen him for a week, and the silence between them felt unnatural.They were just friends—but she hated the growing distance from him.She don't know him much, but she liked him.After everything Louis had done for her—helping her company secure a critical deal and being there for her during tough times—she couldn’t leave the island without at least saying goodbye.Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked.The door opened after a few moments, and Louis appeared, his expression a mix of surprise and exhaustion.“Juliet,” he said, stepping aside to let her in. “This is unexpected.”“I thought I’d drop by,” she replied, her voice casual.“I’m leaving the island tomorrow and realized I haven’t seen you all week.”Louis nodded, gesturing toward the living room.“Sorry about that. Things have been... complicated.”Her eyes wandered to the cluttered desk in the corner of th

Meanwhile, in a quiet office on the outskirts of Apple City, Terminator X sat behind his desk, his sharp gaze fixed on Pearl Cavendish.She was as poised and enigmatic as ever, her presence commanding the room despite its unassuming decor.“How did you even get here?” Terminator asked, his tone equal parts curious and annoyed.Pearl smiled faintly, her red lips curving in amusement.“You know me, Terminator. Getting what I want has never been difficult.”“That’s not an answer,” he replied, leaning back in his chair.“It’s the only answer you’re getting.” She crossed her legs elegantly, the sharp heels of her shoes tapping against the floor.“Now, let’s cut to the chase. I want to know why Louis was exiled from the Kindsor family.”Terminator’s expression darkened. "That’s not information I’m willing to share.”"I didnt give you any option- except the truth." She clenched her teeth.“You’re persistent, I’ll give you that,” Terminator said finally, breaking the silence.“I don’t have t

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

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

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

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

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 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 entrance to The Nexus was a towering stone gate carved into the mountainside, its surface etched with symbols that pulsed faintly in the dim light.The air around it seemed charged with an otherworldly energy, and Louis could feel the pull of the Heart growing stronger.“We’re here,” Juliet whispered, her voice tinged with awe.Terminator X stepped forward, examining the intricate carvings.“This place isn’t just ancient—it’s alive. The Eternals built it to protect their secrets.”Louis placed his hand on the gate, and the symbols lit up in response.The massive stone doors rumbled as they slid open, revealing a staircase spiraling downward into darkness.“Let’s move,” he said, his tone resolute.“Whatever’s down there, we need to find it before The Seer does.”The staircase opened into a vast underground sanctuary, its cavernous halls illuminated by floating orbs of light.Massive pillars stretched toward the ceiling, their surfaces covered in glowing inscriptions that shifted an

The hideout was quiet except for the soft rustle of maps being unfolded.Louis traced his fingers over the aged parchment, his brow furrowed in concentration.The maps and artifacts recovered from the Kindsor estate were a maze of cryptic symbols and fragmented text.“This marking,” Louis said, pointing to an intricate rune near the center of the map.“It matches the glyphs we saw in the ruins outside Velron. It has to be connected to The Nexus.”Juliet leaned over his shoulder, studying the map.“But look at these coordinates. They lead to the base of the Umbra Peaks. That region is nothing but treacherous cliffs and ancient wards.”“Exactly why it makes sense,” Terminator X chimed in, his arms crossed.“The Eternals wouldn’t make their sanctuary easy to find. It’s meant to keep out anyone unworthy.”Louis nodded, though his expression was grim. “Then we’ll need to be ready for anything.”The group’s journey through the desolate wastelands brought them to a crumbling outpost, its st

The alarms blared louder as Louis worked feverishly to disable the restraints binding Terminator X.His fingers moved with desperate precision, beads of sweat dripping down his face.“Almost there,” Louis muttered under his breath.Terminator X glanced at the approaching guards.“You better hurry, kid. We’re out of time.”The door to the high-security wing burst open, and a squad of soldiers poured in, their movements unnaturally swift and coordinated.Their eyes glowed with a faint, eerie light, and a faint aura of energy surrounded them.“What the hell are those?” Louis asked, his voice tinged with fear.“Genetically enhanced soldiers,” Terminator X growled.“The Seer’s latest playthings.”Juliet’s voice crackled in Louis’s ear.“Louis, I’m almost to your location. Hold on!”The restraints finally clicked open, and Terminator X stood, his muscles flexing despite the toll of his captivity.“Get ready,” he said, his voice grim.“They won’t go down easily.”The first soldier lunged, a
