Terminator X’s expression darkened.“A month after his mother’s death, Louis was framed for an unspeakable act.He was accused of spying on his stepmother’s cousin, watching her while she bathed, and even attempting to assault her.There was no truth to it, but it didn’t matter.His father, already swayed by his second wife’s accusations, took her side without hesitation.Louis was branded guilty, and the Kindsor family turned their back on him.They exiled him from the family without a second thought.”Pearl’s eyes widened.“But Louis... he’s not capable of such things. It’s all lies.”Terminator X nodded gravely.“Exactly. It was a setup.Louis was being targeted from the moment his mother died, and his father allowed it to happen.His stepmother was behind it, always trying to bring him down in front of his father, poisoning his mind with false accusations.She’d always wanted to see him out of the picture so she could take control of the family herself.”Pearl’s hands clenched int

Pearl leaned back in her chair, her fingers drumming against the polished desk.Marcus, her secretary, stood before her with a thick manila folder."The Blackwood Society's charity auction details," he reported, sliding the document across the desk.Pearl's eyes narrowed."Tell me everything.""It's an exclusive event," Marcus explained."The artifact you're interested in—it's definitely going to be there. Provenance confirmed, direct connection to Louis's past."She let out a soft laugh."Interesting.""Ms. Cavendish," Marcus hesitated, "are you sure about this approach?"Pearl stood up, walking to the window.The city sprawled beneath her, a complex network of streets and secrets."I'm doing this for Louis. He needs to know the truth.""Are you sure?" Marcus pressed."That's not an option," she replied sharply."Some truths are worth fighting for."Her phone buzzed. A text from her contact at the auction house."Artifact confirmed. Lot 17. Preliminary valuation attached.""Marcus,"

"I won't let him get away with this," Vivian muttered to herself, grabbing her phone and went to the media office who could help her exact her revenge."Jake, it's Vivian. I need you to do something for me," she said as soon as the call connected."Vivian, what’s up? You’re not calling just to chat, I take it?""I’m going to expose Louis. I need you to write something about him—something that’ll show him for the manipulative fraud he really is. I’ll make sure it’s all over the media."Jake hesitated."I want to destroy him," she told Jake, the lead journalist, her voice a cold whisper.Jake adjusted his recorder. "Louis? Your ex-husband?""He humiliated my entire family," Vivian spat."Kicked us out of Necker Island just before my wedding. Made us look like complete fools.""Tell me everything," Jake prompted, his pen poised.Vivian's laugh was brittle."Louis was nothing. A nobody who used to do house chores. And now? Suddenly he's this powerful figure because of Terminator X.""Inte

"Louis went from being someone I could order around to do household chores to thinking he's powerful. Now everyone sees him exactly as he is.""The images are killer," Jake said."Side-by-side comparisons of him in an apron versus a tailored suit. It looks like complete fraud.""That's the point," Vivian replied."I want everyone to see how he manipulated his way up. Used Terminator X's name like a stepping stone."Her phone pinged with another notification.More comments were rolling in, each more caustic than the last."'Terminator X's charity case?'" Jake read aloud."'Looks like he's just riding someone else's coattails.'""Keep tracking the reactions," Vivian instructed."I want to know every single ripple this creates."Her brother chimed in again."Your family must be feeling vindicated.""They kicked us out of Necker Island," Vivian said, her voice turning cold."Now everyone will see Louis for what he really is."Vivian sat back, taking a deep breath."This is just the beginn

The grand ballroom buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with chatter as guests admired the glittering chandeliers and exchanged pleasantries.Near the back of the room, Louis adjusted his cufflinks, his eyes scanning the crowd.“So, she’s here,” he muttered under his breath, spotting Pearl gliding into the ballroom with her usual air of composed elegance.“Of course she’s here,” Terminator X, standing beside him, remarked dryly. “You didn’t think she’d let this auction happen without making her move, did you?”Louis sighed.“This necklace... it’s not just a piece of jewelry to her. I need to find out why.”Meanwhile, Pearl was making her way through the crowd, her every move graceful and deliberate.“Keep an eye on Vivian,” she murmured to her assistant, her voice low but firm.“She’s too quiet tonight. That only means trouble.”Her assistant nodded and slipped into the crowd.At the center of the room, Vivian sat with a glass of champagne, her sharp eyes locked on Louis.“Well, w

Louis stood near a side entrance, lost in thought, when Pearl approached him, her steps soft but purposeful.“Louis,” she called, holding out the velvet case containing the necklace.He turned to her, his expression unreadable.“Why are you giving this to me?”Pearl sighed, lowering her voice.“This isn’t just a necklace. Look closer.”Louis hesitated but opened the case.His sharp eyes caught the delicate engraving on the underside of the pendant:For the truth, seek the Cavendish heir.His brow furrowed as he traced the words with his finger.“What does this mean, Pearl? Why is your family connected to this?”Pearl crossed her arms, her usual confidence tinged with unease.“I don’t know all the details, but this isn’t the first time my family’s name has come up in strange circumstances. When I saw this listed for the auction, I had to act.”Louis studied her carefully.“And you decided to spend five million dollars to keep it out of Vivian’s hands?”Pearl shrugged.“Five million isn

Juliet trailed behind Louis as he left the grand ballroom, her heels clicking softly against the pavement.She tightened her coat, her eyes locked on Louis’s retreating figure.“What are you hiding, Louis?” she whispered to herself, quickening her pace to keep him in sight.The streets grew darker and narrower as Louis turned into an unfamiliar part of town.Juliet hesitated at first but pressed on, determined to uncover the truth about his connection to Pearl.“This isn’t the place for someone like you,” a gruff voice called out, making her stop abruptly.“Well, well, look what we have here,” sneered a man with a scar across his cheek.His grin was menacing as his companions closed in around her.“Let me go!” Juliet shouted, struggling against their grip.Another man laughed.“Feisty, aren’t you? But you’re out of your depth, sweetheart.”Juliet’s heart raced.“What do you want from me?”The scar-faced man leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol.“It’s simple. Stay away from Lou

The leader laughed.“Oh, look who decided to show up. Mr. Big Shot. What are you going to do, call for help?”Louis’s lips curled into a grim smile.“I don’t need help.”Before the words fully registered, Louis moved.In one fluid motion, he crossed the distance and slammed his elbow into the nearest thug’s jaw.The man crumpled to the ground with a grunt.“Get him!” the leader barked, and the others charged.Louis sidestepped the first punch, twisting the attacker’s arm behind his back and shoving him into the wall.A second man swung wildly, but Louis ducked and retaliated with a precise kick to the ribs, sending him staggering.Juliet watched in stunned silence as Louis dispatched the attackers with practiced ease, his movements controlled and efficient.One by one, they fell until only the leader remained.“You’re going to regret this,” the man hissed, pulling a knife from his pocket.Louis’s eyes narrowed.“You already do.”The thug lunged, but Louis sidestepped, grabbing the man

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
CHAPTER 283
Ghost skidded slightly, recalibrating. His brain was fast, but his body was now ahead of it. That meant errors.Louis smirked. “How does it feel, Ghost?”Ghost’s expression flickered. “What?”Louis wiped blood from his lip. “You’re fast. Strong. But your mind is lagging.”Ghost’s eye twitched. A small movement, but Louis saw it. A crack in the perfection.Juliet and Pearl had no time to watch the fight.The hallway outside the lab exploded in gunfire, guards flooding in, desperate to contain the breach.Juliet pressed herself against the nearest wall, her pistol firing in quick, precise bursts.Pearl crouched behind a toppled workstation, reloading as fast as she could. “This is getting messy!”Juliet muttered under her breath, hacking into the nearest control panel. “Tell me something I don’t know.”The screen flickered. New warning: CONTAINMENT BREACH IMMINENT.Juliet swore. “The virus chamber is cracking.”Pearl exhaled sharply. “And that means?”Juliet didn’t look away from the sc

Louis’s eyes flicked across the lab—then he saw it.A row of pressurized chemical tanks.“Pearl—cover Juliet.”She didn’t argue. She opened fire, forcing the drones to focus on her.Louis vaulted over a counter, grabbed a scalpel from a surgical tray, and sliced through the control lines of the nearest tank.A hissing sound filled the room.The moment he fired his next shot, the explosion ripped through the lab.Two drones down. One left.The third drone adjusted, recalibrating.Louis turned—but before he could fire, a bullet pierced through its core.Pearl blew the smoke off her barrel. “Took you long enough.”Juliet slammed her hand down on the console. “Got it! Doors opening now!”The main exit hissed open.Pearl grinned. “And that’s our cue.”Louis grabbed Juliet’s wrist, yanking her toward the door. “MOVE!”The facility was collapsing around them. Sirens wailed, emergency lights flickered, and the stench of burning metal filled the air.Guards flooded the hallways.Pearl went in
CHAPTER 281
Dr. Mark Voss convulsed in his chair, sweat dripping from his pale face, his breath ragged. His pupils were blown wide, body trembling as the virus burned through his system.But instead of fear—he laughed.A deep, ragged, hysterical laugh that echoed through the lab, bouncing off the sterile white walls.Pearl cocked her head, unimpressed. “What’s so funny, dead man?”Voss’s bloodshot eyes flicked to her, then to Louis. His lips curled into a twisted grin, his voice a mix of pain and amusement.“I’d rather watch the world burn… than give you control.”Louis’s stomach clenched. No.Voss’s trembling fingers slammed down on the keyboard.Red warning lights bathed the room in an eerie glow.The computer’s synthetic voice echoed through the facility:“Security lockdown initiated. All exits sealed. Containment breach detected. Automated purge in progress.”Juliet’s eyes widened. “Shit.”Pearl snarled. “What the hell did he just do?”Voss’s laughter turned into a ragged cough, but the amuse
CHAPTER 280
The sterile hum of machines filled the vault, a stark contrast to the chaos outside. Louis stood frozen, his name still flashing in bright red on the massive screen behind him.Final Test Subject: Louis Kindsor.Juliet and Pearl flanked him, weapons drawn, but their eyes were locked on the man sitting calmly at the desk in the center of the room.Dr. Mark Voss.He looked exactly as Louis had imagined. A man who belonged in a high-tech lab, not in the middle of a warzone. His sharp features were devoid of fear, his crisp white coat unstained by the horrors he had created. He looked more like a professor preparing for a lecture than the architect of a mass extinction event.And the way he smiled—like he had already won.Louis clenched his fists.“You’re the one behind this,” he said, his voice deathly calm.Dr. Voss leaned back in his chair, adjusting his glasses as if they weren’t discussing a biological weapon meant to wipe out an entire bloodline.“Ah, Mr. Kindsor. I was wondering wh
CHAPTER 279
Inside, the stench of decay and antiseptic clung to the air, the eerie silence wrapping around them like a death shroud.Juliet moved quickly to a secured elevator panel, her fingers flying over the touchpad.“The main facility is buried four levels underground,” she murmured. “Security’s tight, but I can override it.”Pearl arched a brow. “You mean without setting off alarms?”Juliet hesitated.“…Mostly.”Pearl sighed. “That’s what I thought.”Louis exhaled, pressing the earpiece closer. “Do it. We’re on borrowed time.”Juliet typed in a series of commands, bypassing the biometric scans. A moment later, the elevator dinged softly, doors sliding open.They stepped inside, weapons ready.As the doors sealed them in, Pearl flexed her grip on her pistol. “How many guards are we expecting?”Juliet glanced at her tablet. “…All of them.”The doors slid open onto a hallway bathed in cold, sterile white.This wasn’t a makeshift lab like the last facility. This was something else.A temple to
CHAPTER 278
The underground lab was a maze of sterile white corridors, the air thick with the scent of disinfectant and something darker, more sinister.Juliet led the way, eyes darting between the blueprint on her tablet and the hallways stretching before them. “The main server room is ahead. If I can access the controls, I can wipe every trace of the virus.”Louis glanced at Pearl. “Stay sharp.”They moved in silence, shadows slipping through the corridors. Every step was calculated. Every turn a possible ambush.And then—They found the test chamber.A glass-walled room in the center of the facility, cold and sterile.Inside, strapped to a medical table—Elias Kindsor.Louis’s stomach clenched. His uncle looked barely alive. His skin pale, his body hooked up to machines.Pearl moved toward the glass. “What the hell did they do to him?”Juliet scanned the monitors. Her face darkened.“He’s the live test subject,” she whispered.Louis felt a slow, creeping rage coil in his chest.His uncle wasn’

Project Blood Moon was in motion.If they didn’t move now, Louis’s entire bloodline would be wiped out.Juliet sat at the desk, hunched over her screen, decrypting the last fragments of stolen files. Her fingers moved fast, but her face was pale.“We don’t have days,” she said, her voice tight. “We don’t even have hours. They’ve started the countdown.”Louis’s fists clenched at his sides. He already knew it. The clock was ticking.Pearl stood near the weapons table, methodically loading a magazine, her expression unreadable.“We take the facility,” she said. No hesitation. “We get in, we kill anyone in our way, and we erase that virus from existence.”Juliet exhaled. “It’s not that simple, Pearl. It’s a bio-secure facility. We can’t just waltz in and start shooting.”Pearl raised an eyebrow. “Sure we can.”Louis finally spoke, his voice low but firm. “Juliet’s right. This isn’t just about breaking in. We need to make sure the virus is destroyed permanently.”And that meant getting ins
CHAPTER 276
Pearl’s body tensed immediately. “You’re telling me this thing—” she gestured toward Louis, “—was made specifically to kill him?”Juliet shook her head. “Not just him.”She turned her screen, flashing an encrypted list that sent a shiver down Louis’s spine.Names. Birthdates. Genealogical data.Juliet pointed at the top. “They’ve mapped out your entire family line. Not just you, Louis—your parents, your extended relatives, anyone remotely connected to your lineage.”Louis didn’t react immediately. His mind sifted through old memories—names and faces from a past he had long since buried.His mother. His father. Gone.But his uncle, distant cousins—they were still out there.Pearl exhaled slowly. “How far have they gotten?”Juliet clicked through more files, her jaw tightening. “They’re not testing it on the streets yet. Not on live populations.”Pearl folded her arms. “Then where?”Juliet’s face darkened. “A facility. One of The Obsidian Ring’s black sites. The files list it as Lockdow
