In Westham, a dark and shadow-filled room bore silent witness to the deep contemplation of a man known as The Oracle. The room, dimly lit by the soft glow of a desk lamp, was filled with the scent of old paper and dust, reflecting the somber mood of the man who was deep in thought. The Oracle sat in an old leather chair in the corner of the room, his gaze fixed on a wall covered with maps and images depicting the movements of underground organizations and his long-term plans.

His thoughts drifted far into the past, to a time when he was still the leader of one of the most powerful organizations ever to exist. In its heyday, this organization wielded nearly unmatched power, with networks extending to various corners of the world. However, that glory did not last long. There was one individual—a rival known only by a codename—who managed to destroy everything he had built.

Outside, a heavy rain began to fall, tapping on the windows in an irregular rhythm, as if reflecting the anxiety they felt.

Yet tonight, there was an unusual tension among them.Rodrigo, the man who had led Eagle Eye for over two decades, stood at the end of the room.
