Leon barely had time to process the weight of Victor’s bounty before the first shot rang out.

The bullet shattered the window of the safehouse, missing him by inches. Glass rained down as he threw himself to the ground, rolling behind an overturned table. His earpiece buzzed with static before Marcus’s frantic voice cut through.

**"Leon! We’re compromised! You need to move—now!"**

No kidding. The attack had come too fast. He had expected Victor to retaliate, but not this soon. Not this aggressively.

Leon peeked over the edge of the table, spotting movement outside. Shadows flickered beyond the wreckage of the broken window—silent, efficient. Professionals.

This wasn’t just some random bounty hunter looking to cash in. Victor had sent his best.

He pushed the thought aside and focused. There was no time for hesitation. He had to get Elena out.

Across the room, Elena had taken cover behind an old cabinet, clutching the stolen files in one hand and a silenced pistol in the o

    Leon moved through the dark alleyways of Prague, his breath shallow, his body aching from the explosion. His escape had been narrow—too narrow. He had no idea if Elena had survived, and the thought gnawed at him. But he couldn’t afford to slow down. Every bounty hunter in the city was after him.His comm unit crackled. “Leon, status?” Clara’s voice was tight with urgency.“Alive. Barely,” he muttered. “Elena’s missing. Marcus?”“Safe. The virus was partially uploaded before the blast. Victor’s systems are in chaos, but he’ll recover soon.”Leon clenched his jaw. “I need a way out of Prague. Now.”Clara hesitated. “There’s one option, but you’re not gonna like it.”Leon sighed. “Spit it out.”“The Winters family.”Silence. Then, “Absolutely not.”“You don’t have a choice, Leon. Julian Winters invited you to a meeting. This might be the only chance you have to even the playing field.”Leon exhaled sharply. Julian Winters—powerful, ruthless, and just as dangerous as Victor. If the Winter

    The city skyline stretched before Leon as he stood in the penthouse office of his newly established tech headquarters. The move had been necessary—not just for safety but to establish a new foundation for everything he was building. Vienna had been compromised, and with Victor’s bounty on his head, staying in one place too long was a death sentence.Now, he had relocated to Prague, a city rich with history, innovation, and—most importantly—distance from Victor’s immediate grasp. The headquarters was nestled in a discreet yet modern high-rise, blending in with the city's booming tech scene. From here, Leon was spearheading his next venture: the rapid expansion of his high-end technology chain, selling cutting-edge security software and devices under an alias. Officially, he was just another entrepreneur capitalizing on the AI boom. Unofficially, he was laying the groundwork for something bigger.Clara entered the office, her arms crossed, concern written across her face. "You really th

    Leon sat in his office, the dim glow of the monitors reflecting in his sharp gaze. The data chip from the Winters family lay on the desk in front of him, a silent challenge. Whoever this new player was, they weren’t just after him—they were shaking up the entire power structure. Even Victor, the man who had spent years manipulating governments and criminal empires alike, was looking over his shoulder. That meant things were escalating faster than Leon had predicted.Clara entered the room, arms crossed, clearly waiting for an update. “Well?”Leon sighed, running a hand through his hair. “The bounty’s doubled. And it’s not just Victor anymore. Someone else is moving behind the scenes.”Clara stiffened. “Someone big?”“Big enough to rattle Victor.”A tense silence settled between them. They both knew what that meant—Victor wasn’t invincible anymore, and that was both

    The distant wail of sirens echoed through the Munich night, but they wouldn’t get here in time. Leon crouched behind a toppled metal shelf, his breathing steady despite the adrenaline coursing through him. Damien pressed his back against the opposite side of the cover, reloading his weapon. "This isn’t a coincidence," Damien muttered. "She set this up." Leon clenched his jaw. He didn’t want to believe that. Not fully. But everything pointed to it—Elena had led them here, wiped the servers, and now armed men were here to finish the job. "Something’s not right," Leon said. "If she wanted us dead, she had a clean shot. She hesitated." "Yeah, well, I don’t think these guys will." Damien peeked out, ducking just in time to avoid a hail of bullets. "Any bright ideas?" Leon’s mind worked fast. The gunfire was suppressing them, forcing them to stay pinned down while the enemy closed in. If they didn’t act now, they’d be boxed in. "Back exit," Leon decided. "We move on my signal."

    Leon exhaled as the private jet cut through the night sky, leaving Munich behind. The city had been a battlefield, a place where every corner held a potential ambush. Now, they were heading somewhere new, somewhere Victor’s reach wouldn’t immediately suffocate them. "Where exactly are we going?" Damien asked, leaning back in his seat. His bruised ribs made every movement painful, but he hid it behind his usual sarcasm. "Barcelona," Leon replied, his eyes fixed on the city lights below. "Clara set up new identities. We lay low, build something real this time." Marcus raised an eyebrow. "No more fights?" Leon didn’t answer right away. No more fights until necessary—that was the plan. But he knew better. The ghosts of his past wouldn’t stay buried. The air in Barcelona was different—warmer, less suffocating than Munich. The team settled into a sleek, modern apartment overlooking the Mediterranean. It wasn’t a safehouse; it was a real home. Leon wasted no time. He moved fast,

    Leon leaned back in his chair, watching the city skyline through the reinforced glass of his office. The new tech shop was running smoothly, its grand opening a success. It had taken weeks of meticulous planning, but he finally had a foothold in this city-far away from the chaos he left behind.His fingers drummed against the desk as he reviewed the latest sales reports. Business was thriving. Customers flocked to his stores, drawn in by cutting-edge technology and the reputation he had built. But something gnawed at him-a sense of unease that refused to fade.Clara entered the office, her sharp gaze scanning his face. “You’re restless.”Leon exhaled, rubbing his temples. “It’s too quiet.”Clara arched a brow. “After everything we’ve been through, you’d rather be dodging bullets?”“No,” Leon admitted. “But silence doesn’t mean safety. It usually means something’s coming.”She sighed, tossing a file onto his desk. “Then maybe this will get your mind off it. We have a new client. Big mo

    The city buzzed with life as Leon stood inside his newly opened tech shop, the scent of fresh wiring and polished metal filling the air. He had spent months setting up a low-profile existence, ensuring that every move he made stayed beneath Victor’s radar. His hands skimmed across a prototype drone, its sleek frame reflecting the dim lights overhead.Business had been steady, enough to keep him occupied while staying out of trouble. But trouble had a way of finding him, no matter how well he hid. The Winters Family’s involvement had complicated everything, and now, with Kara back from the dead and Project Revenant looming, his peaceful life was slipping through his fingers like sand.He heard the shop bell chime as the front door swung open.“You look like hell,” Clara said, stepping inside. She carried a bag of takeout, placing it on the counter. “Have you slept at all?”Leon exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “Not much. I’ve been running diagnostics on the shop’s security sys

    Got it! This next scene will be packed with tension, action, and a major twist as Leon, Clara, Elena, and Vanessa go on the offensive against Victor. They know they can’t sit back anymore—not when Victor is creating something worse than soldiers. He’s making slaves out of the dead.This scene will take them deep into the heart of Victor’s operations, where they will uncover just how far Project Revenant has advanced—and who Victor has already brought back.The night air was thick with anticipation as Leon pulled the van to a stop a few blocks from the industrial complex. The building loomed ahead, its windows dark, but the security presence was undeniable. Armed guards patrolled the perimeter, and drones hovered silently, scanning for threats.Inside the van, Leon, Clara, Elena, and Vanessa went over the plan one last time.“We move in quiet,” Leon said, slipping a suppressor onto his pistol. “Take out the security, find Victor’s lab, and shut it down. No distractions.”Elena nodded,

He hadn’t been here in years—not since everything unraveled.From where he stood, hidden in the shade of an elm tree, he could see the faint outline of Clara moving in the kitchen. Through the open window, the smell of fresh bread reached his nose, and it felt like someone had reached inside his chest and gently tugged at his ribs.Vanessa’s laughter echoed through the backyard—light, pure, and untouched by the weight of the world Leon had carried on his shoulders for years.

    Setting: An abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, dimly lit by shafts of moonlight piercing through shattered windows. The air is thick with dust and the scent of rusting metal.​Leon stood at the threshold, his silhouette framed by the flickering glow of a distant streetlamp. The weight of the USB drive in his pocket felt heavier than it should—a compact vessel of damning truths about Victor Aldridge. He had gathered his allies, each bearing their own scars inflicted by the Winters' tyranny. Tonight, they would convene to strategize their next move.​As he stepped inside, the creak of the wooden floorboards beneath his boots echoed through the cavernous space. The warehouse, once a bustling hub of industry, now stood as a relic of forgotten times, much like the lives Victor had shattered.​In the center of the vast room, a makeshift table had been assembled from wooden pallets and metal sheets. Around it sat Evelyn Cross, Damien Knox, Helena Drake, and Tobias Grant. Their

    The city had changed.So had he.It was early morning, the kind where the mist hung low and the sun rose with caution, barely daring to pierce the veil that lingered above the skyline. Leon stood at the edge of the rooftop overlooking the district he now called home—a quieter city nestled between rolling hills and rivers that hummed instead of roared. He breathed in the stillness, as if his lungs, long used to chaos, were relearning how to draw in peace.Down below, the storefronts slowly came to life. His tech shop, now painted a fresh matte blue with the simple sign “Reboot,” flickered on its lights. Not just a front anymore, but a real business. A real future. For once.Inside, Clara was helping Vanessa organize the shelves. The little girl had grown so fast in the months since they escaped Victor’s empire.
