THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM How About That?
Laura Finch stepped into the lavish Paradise Restaurant, her heels clicking softly against the marble floors. The air smelled of jasmine and fresh spices, a subtle undertone to the opulence around her. A uniformed staff member greeted her with an air of familiarity, as if she were expected. Without a word, they gestured for her to follow and led her through a maze of tables adorned with fine eastern and flickering candlelight. The path ended at an intricately carved wooden door, which the staff member opened with practiced precision. Inside, the VIP room was bathed in the warm glow of paper lanterns. The space had an oriental elegance, with silk tapestries lining the walls and a low lacquered table set for two. Kato Montgomery sat on the far side of the room, reclining comfortably on a plush chair. He cradled a ceramic cup of traditional wine, swirling it lazily as if he had all the time in the world. His sharp eyes lit up with amusement when Laura entered, a slow smile spreading a
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM No Game To Play With Me!
Kato Montgomery stood by the glass wall of the VIP room, the dim glow of paper lanterns casting his silhouette against the darkened glass. He swirled the remains of his traditional wine in the ceramic cup, his sharp eyes following Laura Finch’s every movement below. The woman walked with purpose, her heels clicking against the pavement as she approached her car. Then, as if she felt his gaze, Laura paused. Her head tilted ever so slightly, and her eyes turned upward, locking onto the third-floor window. Kato’s grip on his cup tightened as he stilled, studying her expression. She couldn’t possibly see him—the dark glass made sure of that—but the way she lingered suggested otherwise. She stood there for a heartbeat too long, her calm confidence as unnerving as it was intriguing. Finally, she turned away, stepping into her car without a backward glance. Kato watched the vehicle pull out of the driveway and disappear into the city night before turning away from the window. The room
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Secret Operation
The heavy bass of the nightclub thumped in the background as Collin, dressed impeccably in a servant’s uniform, slipped through the crowd with calculated precision. His movements were smooth and practiced, his expression calm despite the task at hand. He approached the private lounge where Jonathan Afler—a frequent patron of this particular establishment—lay sprawled drunkenly across a plush leather couch. Two women lounged beside him, their laughter mingling with the low hum of conversation. Collin leaned in, feigning deference. "Another round of drinks for you, sir?" he asked, his voice neutral. Jonathan barely acknowledged him, muttering incoherently. Collin’s hands moved quickly but subtly, retrieving the ID access card from Jonathan’s jacket. Securing the card in his pocket, he nodded at the women. "Take good care of him, ladies." Without hesitation, he exited the room, his steps as smooth as his actions. Outside, the crisp night air greeted him as he approached a sleek blac
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Interrogation Room
Thenma woke with a sharp jolt, his head throbbing painfully in one concentrated spot—a bitter reminder of Laura's heel. The cold steel of handcuffs bit into his wrists as he adjusted his posture in the stiff interrogation chair. His eyes flickered up to meet Laura's cold, impassive gaze as she stood across from him, her presence dominating the small room. Thenma smirked faintly despite the circumstances. "Well, we meet again, Prosecutor Finch. I’d say it’s a pleasure, but..." He trailed off, his tone light and teasing. Laura didn’t respond. Her face remained a mask of indifference, her silence unnerving. After a brief, piercing stare, she turned and exited the room. Moments later, a man entered—a tall figure with sharp features, his suit pressed to perfection. He carried a folder under his arm and settled across from Thenma with a measured, deliberate air. "I’m Detective Alex Vittoris," the man introduced himself, placing the folder on the table and flipping it open. His eyes sca
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Prosecutor's Negotiation
"Stop!"Laura's voice cut sharply through the tense atmosphere of the monitoring room. The officers froze, and Alex turned toward her, his confusion evident. Without another word, Laura exited the observation room and entered the interrogation room where Thenma sat, still cuffed and seemingly unaffected by the drama unfolding around him.“I’ll take it from here,” Laura announced, her tone leaving no room for debate.Alex frowned, clearly taken aback. “What are you talking about? He broke into a restricted area and impersonated someone—this isn’t something you can just brush off.”“There’s a misunderstanding,” Laura replied, her voice firm but measured. “Thenma and I have spoken before. I’ll handle this.”Alex stepped forward, his expression darkening. “Misunderstanding or not, he’s committed a serious offense. You can’t just walk in here and—”“I’ll be his guarantor,” Laura interrupted, her voice calm but resolute; her eyes locked onto Alex’s. “Under my supervision, he won’t cause any
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM The Data is Mismatched
The first rays of dawn illuminated the city as Thenma pulled into his parking spot. His fingers grazed the memory chip in his pocket, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Victory tasted sweet, even with the bitter undertone of how close he’d come to losing it all.He climbed the stairs to his apartment, unlocking the door and stepping inside. The moment the door clicked shut, a voice startled him."Thenma!"Katarina rushed toward him, her wide, worried eyes scanning his face. "What happened? I heard you got caught! Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Why didn’t you call me?"Thenma raised a hand, trying to stop the torrent of questions, but Katarina’s gaze landed on the plaster above his brow. Her worry deepened as she reached out, fingers trembling slightly."You're hurt!" she exclaimed. "Why didn’t you tell me? You know I would’ve—""Katarina," Thenma interjected firmly but gently, his voice steady. "I’m fine. It’s nothing. Just a small scratch. The cops interrogated me, nothing more. I’
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM The 'Girl' Operation
The journey to Anony was as bleak as the stories surrounding the area. Thenma drove past crumbling infrastructure, graffiti-covered walls, and streets that seemed untouched by progress. Nestled at the border of Asterline and the neighboring town, Anony bore the weight of neglect, its reputation tethered to poverty and its streets teeming with shadows of lost hope.Highlife Apartments came into view—a relic of better days now faded into mediocrity. The building’s dull gray facade was cracked and weathered, its once-bright signage flickering erratically. It stood as a stark reminder of the city's divide between privilege and despair.Thenma parked his car and stepped out, the stench of dampness and decay assaulting his senses. He adjusted his jacket and moved toward the entrance, his steps purposeful. The air was thick with suspicion, and the few residents lingering outside glanced at him warily before turning away.Inside, the apartment’s lobby was dimly lit, its faded wallpaper peelin
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM No Peace of Mind
The soft rays of morning light filtered through the blinds, casting slanted beams across the disheveled room. Clothes were strewn carelessly across the floor, an empty wine glass sat on the nightstand, and the faint scent of intimacy lingered in the air. Laura stirred awake, her body sore and her mind far from rested.Sitting up, she reached for the glass of water she had left on the nightstand, taking a long sip to soothe her dry throat. Her tousled hair framed her face, her expression unreadable as her thoughts swirled with remnants of the previous night—not just the fiery passion but the argument that still burned in her mind.Behind her, Alex stirred, his bare chest brushing against her back as he sat up, wrapping his arms around her waist. His touch was warm and familiar, but it did little to ease the tension in her shoulders.“Are you still mad at me?” Alex asked, his voice low and tentative, his lips brushing lightly against her ear.Laura didn’t respond, her eyes fixed on the

Unexpected Chaos
The tires screeched as Alex pulled the car to a violent stop, the vehicle jerking forward from the momentum. Laura barely waited for it to fully halt; she flung the door open and bolted out, her heart hammering painfully against her ribs. Chaos greeted her. Smoke thickened the night air, glowing sickly orange from the flames that roared out of the seventh-floor windows. Residents, some half-dressed, others clinging to pets and loved ones, clustered behind hastily set-up barricades. Red and blue lights flashed wildly across their stunned, terrified faces. Laura stopped dead for a moment, staring up at the building. The fire wasn’t small. It was an inferno, devouring the side of Highlife like a starving beast. Flames licked upward, blackening the concrete, while firefighters wrestled with hoses, trying desperately to contain the blaze. A sick, cold dread coiled in her stomach. “Joey,” she whispered under her breath, already pushing through the crowd. "Laura, wait—!" Alex c
Stuck To Danger
[ANONYCITY] Night had fallen over the city, but Laura still hadn’t rested. After having dinner—courtesy of Alex, who cooked something simple but warm—Laura returned to her usual spot in front of the laptop. She was gathering data, analyzing it, cross-referencing it with their previous investigation results, and slowly building a new structure—a strategy she could use to expose the embezzlement at Highlife, the apartment complex under Edward Montgomery's ownership. The faint buzz of the heater was the only background noise until the hotel room door clicked open. Alex stepped inside, shutting the door firmly behind him. He had left earlier, saying he needed to take a call from someone—an associate from the Anony Police Department. His eyes immediately found Laura, still locked onto the glow of her laptop screen, her fingers tapping out a steady rhythm. His gaze drifted lower, catching sight of the flash drive still plugged into her computer. Laura noticed him and glanced over br
City of Smokes
Rain fell like a fine mist over Anony City, diffusing the neon lights into hazy glows that pulsed against damp sidewalks and shuttered storefronts. It was early—too early for most of the city’s vices to rise—but not for Laura Finch. She had never been one to wait for the night to draw the worst out of people. Evil, she knew, wore watches and drank expensive coffee at dawn.The temporary office they had commanded on the top floor of Hotel Auria overlooked the eastern edge of Highlife—Anony's middle class residential quarter. From up here, the towers of glass and silver looked almost innocent. Almost.Laura sat hunched over her laptop, its faint blue light casting hard shadows under her eyes. The coffee beside her had long since gone cold. Data filled her screen—financial records, resident registries, and the reconstructed timelines of shadowy investments she had begun threading together since arriving in Anony two days ago.So far, the investigation into Edward Montgomery’s money laund
Almost Was Never Enough!
Kato let the silence stretch, lips curled in mild amusement, like a man sipping wine over a private joke.“You’re quiet,” he said, smoothing the wrinkle on his lapel as if it mattered more than the woman who had just evaporated into mist. “No sharp words? No twisted proverbs from your father's old sermons? That's new.”Thenma didn’t answer.His fingers hovered near his pocket, subtly activating Reve's surf mode. A flicker of blue light scanned his iris, unseen beneath the shadows of the corridor.Kato leaned against the opposite wall, arms crossed loosely, clearly enjoying himself.Thenma waited.A chime pulsed quietly in his mind.Surfing complete. Accessing encrypted layers. Result: No identity found. No biometrics registered. Data: NULL.Thenma’s brows furrowed.Blank. The system found nothing.Just like Lily Hayes.A ghost in the machine.His jaw clenched almost imperceptibly. That woman’s escape wasn’t just coincidence. She wasn’t meant to exist in the system.“You know,” Kato sa
Highlife Clues
The room smelled like cologne, sweat, and something sour that clung to the silk bedsheets. Katarina sat still at the edge of the bed, her back facing the door, the sequins of her tight dress catching a faint glint of light from the ceiling chandelier. Her long, black hair fell over her shoulders in slightly tangled strands, the once-meticulously straight locks now damp with frustration.Her lips, swollen from Rover's greedy kisses, pressed into a tight line.She tugged the strap of her dress back onto her shoulder with a flick, adjusting her neckline and glaring at nothing in particular. Her reflection across the room stared back with the same dead-fed up expression—icy blue eyes dulled with irritation."Goddamn it," she muttered under her breath.He’d left her. Just like that.After everything she’d done to tolerate his touch, to hold back the shiver of disgust crawling up her spine—and he left her with nothing. No slip of information, no loose tongue, not even a whisper about what s
Under Control
Thenma didn’t accompany Laura on the follow-up investigation into Edward Montgomery’s money laundering in Anony City. Instead, he took a different approach. He sent Katarina back—back to Verona Lounge, back to Rover.This time, however, her mission had changed.He wanted her to dig deeper—not into finances, but into something far more personal.Lily Hayes.But uncovering information about the missing girl proved more difficult than expected. Katarina scoured conversations, lingered in hallways, pressed lightly on blurred boundaries—but no one spoke her name. Not even once.Still, Katarina didn’t back down. She knew how the Verona Lounge operated. The girls weren’t just hosts. They were filtered—graded. Newcomers were shown off, displayed like luxury, fed to the regular clientele. But the real secrets, the truth buried beneath polished smiles and crystal glasses, lay with the “seniors”—the women who served the Lounge’s elite guests, escorted in by Rover himself.To find Lily, Katarina
Something In Anony
The sleek black sports car sliced through the night, its low hum blending with the cold wind that wrapped around the city’s outskirts. Thenma hadn’t spoken a word since they left. His hands gripped the wheel with perfect precision, his eyes fixed forward, lips sealed tight.Katarina sat beside him, feeling the silence thickening like fog. After what happened back at home—after those words, those fists—she thought he brought her out to say something. To hear something. Anything. But the only sound in the car was the engine and the distant whisper of the road under them.She didn’t dare breathe too loud.Thenma’s eyes glinted briefly with the city’s lights as they approached a familiar riverside lookout. Across the water, the city glittered like a fallen constellation. He parked the car and stepped out without a word, walking over to an old wooden cabin-like bench near the railing. The city’s reflection rippled in the water below.Katarina hesitated for a moment, unsure if she should fo
James Found Out
It hadn’t taken long for Katarina to become the center of Rover Verelli’s attention. With her sultry voice, stunning beauty, and her practiced persona as a charming drinking companion-for-hire, she quickly found her way into Rover’s inner circle—just as Thenma had instructed. She hadn’t told her father what she was really doing at Verona Lounge, and she had no intention of doing so. Thenma had agreed to keep it between them.Before returning home each night, Katarina always made sure to change out of her seductive attire and slip into casual clothing—something she would’ve worn on any ordinary day. With a calm expression masking her double life, she stepped through the door of her home that evening.But she didn’t expect what was waiting for her.“Thenma… what are you doing—?”Her question was abruptly cut short.Her eyes widened in horror as she saw Thenma reel backward from a powerful punch to the face. Standing over him was her father—James—his face a mask of fury.“How dare you us
Wolf's Den
The air outside Verona Lounge was thick with humidity, carrying the scent of city smog and the lingering aroma of cheap perfume from the women who worked its sidewalks. The neon sign flickered in crimson hues above the entrance, casting an eerie glow onto the pavement below. It wasn’t just another nightclub. It was a place of power. A place where shadows lurked in the corners, where men with deep pockets and darker secrets indulged in pleasures that couldn’t be spoken of in daylight. And tonight, Katarina Whittaker walked into it willingly. Getting in hadn’t been as simple as she expected. The underground broker she was forced to meet had slid her a note with a single, cutting remark: “Verona Lounge doesn’t take random city whores. If you’re not from Anony, you’re out.” That in itself was enough to raise suspicion. Katarina had worked through Blostom’s nightlife before. Clubs like Verona Lounge were supposed to be filled with girls from all backgrounds—runaways, desperate wome
