The two worked late into the night, pouring over the information Pearl had uncovered.Among the files was a trail of financial transactions, coded messages, and a list of names—operatives, allies, and unsuspecting victims of The Avaris Circle’s schemes."This one," Pearl said, pointing to a name on the list."Marco Duvall. He’s one of their top enforcers.If anyone knows the truth about their plans, it’s him."Louis’s gaze sharpened."Where can I find him?"Pearl hesitated."He frequents a private club downtown. But Louis, he’s dangerous. You can’t just confront him without a plan."He smirked faintly, his confidence unwavering."I don’t intend to confront him. I’ll make him come to me."Pearl’s brow furrowed."What are you planning?"Louis stood, his movements deliberate as he gathered the documents."To give him a reason to talk."As he turned to leave, Pearl called after him."Be careful, Louis. These people don’t play fair."He glanced back, a determined glint in his eyes."Neithe

The headline splashed across every major media outlet was as damning as it was sensational.“Louis Kindsor Linked to Multi-Million Dollar Fraud Scheme.” The accompanying exposé detailed forged documents implicating Louis in a series of shady corporate deals, all carefully orchestrated to bring his reputation crashing down.Pearl read the leaked documents over and over, her sharp mind picking apart the inconsistencies and recognizing Vivian’s hand in the fabrication."This isn’t just an attack," Pearl murmured to herself, her fingers drumming against the desk."It’s an execution."Later that day, Pearl held a press conference, her poise commanding attention as she addressed the gathered reporters."Thank you all for coming," she began, her voice clear and unwavering."I’m here to set the record straight regarding the allegations against Louis Kindsor."The crowd buzzed with anticipation.Cameras clicked, capturing every angle of her elegant yet determined expression."The documents in

At the same time, Juliet watched the chaos unfold from a distance, her emotions in turmoil.She sat in her apartment, scrolling through the latest headlines, her brow furrowed.The image of Pearl standing confidently at the podium replayed in her mind."She’s incredible," Juliet murmured, then immediately frowned, her fingers gripping her phone tightly."Or maybe she’s just... foolish?"Her thoughts warred within her.Pearl’s actions were undeniably brave, but the way she stood by Louis made Juliet’s stomach churn."She’s doing it for him," Juliet whispered, biting her lip."But why does that bother me so much? I’m not even his..." She trailed off, unwilling to finish the thought.Juliet clutched the printed photograph in her hand as she approached storefront of an underground art dealer known only as “Tanner.”The location, tucked away in a rundown part of the city, was a stark contrast to the world of luxury and intrigue she’d been navigating lately.Her nerves prickled, but her det

Louis sat in his study, mind was racing, thoughts tangled in a web of suspicion, paranoia, and frustration.The photo of him and Pearl, the one that had caused so much turmoil between him and Juliet, had seemed like the key to unraveling the mystery.But now, it was only one piece of a much larger puzzle.He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as Terminator X entered the room."We’ve almost got him, Louis," Terminator X said, holding up a report."The art dealer we tracked down, Tanner, has been our best lead so far.We’ve traced his movements and connections. We were closing in on the one who doctored the image."Louis’s eyes narrowed"Almost?""Yeah," Terminator X replied grimly."But before we could get to him, he’s dead. Found in his apartment this morning. No signs of forced entry, but it’s clear it was no accident."Louis’s heart sank."Dead? But why—""There’s more," Terminator X continued, cutting him off."He left a note behind, just before his death. One line: 'The

Juliet walked briskly down the quiet street, her heart racing with a mix of anxiety and determination.After what had happened at the warehouse, she couldn’t shake the feeling of fear . But She had to know the truth about Louis—and Pearl.The photograph that had plagued her thoughts, the rumors swirling about their relationship—it all led back to Tanner.She’d gone to Tanner’s apartment for answers, thinking he was the key to unreveal the mystery.But this time, as she arrived, something felt different.The usual quiet of the building was replaced by flashing police lights.Officers milled around outside, and the building was taped off with caution signs."What happened?" she asked, walking toward the police officer who stood nearby.The officer glanced at her briefly, then turned his attention back to the building."There’s been a murder. We’re investigating."Juliet froze, her blood running cold.Murder? Tanner? Had he been killed because of the secrets he knew?Her stomach twisted

Louis gripped the necklace tightly as he approached the Kindsor estate, the weight of its engraved coordinates pressing on his mind.Beside him, Terminator X leaned against a sleek black SUV, waiting near the edge of the estate’s sprawling grounds. "You’re late," Terminator X muttered, his arms crossed."I’ve been scouting the area. The hidden chamber is close. I can feel it."Louis nodded, his jaw set with determination."Let’s not waste any more time. If this chamber holds what we think it does, it could change everything."Together, they navigated through the estate grounds, using the necklace’s coordinates as their guide.The Kindsor estate was vast, with meticulously maintained gardens, towering hedges, and ornate architecture that whispered of old money and dark secrets.Despite its beauty, Louis felt only a cold unease.After nearly an hour of searching, Terminator X stopped abruptly, pointing to a weathered stone wall partially obscured by overgrown ivy."Here," he said, pull

The figure stepped forward, revealing a masked individual clad in black.His movements were deliberate, the gun steady in his grip."You’ve dug too deep, Louis Kindsor," the figure said, his voice distorted through a voice modulator."Turn around and walk away, or this ends here."Louis straightened, his fury boiling just beneath the surface."You think you can scare me? Do you have any idea how far I’m willing to go for the truth?"The figure chuckled coldly."The truth won’t save you. It will bury you."Terminator X, ever the strategist, spoke next."You don’t want to do this. Pull that trigger, and you’ll have the entire Kindsor estate crawling with investigators. Even your bosses won’t be able to protect you."The figure hesitated, his gun lowering slightly."You’re playing a dangerous game, both of you. This isn’t about justice. It’s about survival. And you’re out of your depth."Louis took a step forward, his eyes locked on the masked man."If you’re here, it means Edward knows

Louis grabbed his coat, his movements sharp and deliberate."Vivian’s people are targeting you now. I need to get you somewhere safe."Juliet frowned, her frustration bubbling over."Safe? You think I’m just going to sit back and let you control everything? I deserve to know the truth!""I’ll explain everything later," Louis promised, his tone softer now."But right now, we need to move."Juliet shook her head, stepping back toward the door."No, Louis. I’ve had enough of being in the dark. I’ll handle myself.""Juliet, don’t be stubborn," he warned, but she was already out the door, heading to her car.Juliet’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as she drove aimlessly, her mind a storm of emotions.The streetlights cast long shadows across the deserted road, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched.She pulled into a quiet parking lot to gather her thoughts, her breathing uneven.Suddenly, a shadow moved across her rearview mirror.Before she could react, the p

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

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
CHAPTER 282
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
