THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Celeste's First VIP Guest
Katarina slipped into the exclusive suite, the soft click of the door behind her sealing her into a different world. Tonight was her first true test—her first appointment as a high-end lady of the Verona Lounge. After months of meticulous testing and rigorous training, she and May had been selected as candidates for the elite circle, a title that promised not only prestige but access to the Lounge’s most carefully guarded secrets. She wore her persona—Celeste—as easily as a second skin. Every sway of her hips, every measured strike of her heels against the marble floor was calculated to enthrall, to command the gaze of any man she chose. Katarina drifted across the room with languid grace, the sound of distant laughter and clinking glasses fading behind the thick pane of one-way glass. From here, the VIPs could observe the revelry of the main floor without fear of being seen. Her client sat on the grand velvet sofa, legs crossed in an easy display of authority. He gazed out at the
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Playing On Doom
Katarina inhaled slowly through her nose, steadying herself as Thenma’s urgent order still crackled faintly in her ear.Get out of there. Now.But she couldn't. Not without raising suspicion. Not without ruining everything she’d worked for.Instead, she turned her sweetest smile toward Evan Clauster’s retreating back as he paused just a step away from the door, tilting his head slightly as if expecting something."Would you like another drink before you go, Mr. Clauster?" Katarina asked, her voice a soft ribbon through the charged air.Evan smiled without turning fully toward her, as if amused by her poise."You’re persistent, Celeste," he murmured. "I like that."He returned to the sofa, lowering himself into the seat with an elegant, languid grace. He set his half-empty whiskey glass on the table and watched her with sharp, assessing eyes."One more, then," he said. "Since you ask so nicely."Katarina moved fluidly, pouring him another measure of the dark, expensive liquor. Her hand
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Put Her First!
The sound of his boots thudding against the polished club floor faded behind him. Thenma pushed through the heavy door into the cold night, the buzz of the club dying at his back. The air outside was sharp, slicing against his face as he yanked his communicator from his jacket. The screen blinked aggressively. [Reve: Incoming priority message. Source: Anony Corporate Network.] Thenma swiped it open. The text was short, but the implications punched the breath from his chest. Accident Report: Alex - Critical Condition. Prosecutor Laura Finch - Contact Attempt Failed. Anony Medical Center. Immediate Response Recommended. For a split second, his mind tugged back toward Katarina—still inside, the mission still teetering between dangerous and catastrophic. Guilt gnawed at him. But there was no time to hesitate. [Reve: Processing nearest transportation options to Anony. Estimated departure window: 45 minutes. Flight reservation suggested: RapidJet 907.] “Book it,” Thenma muttered sha
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Shocking Missing
The emergency lights flickered once more before stabilizing, casting a pale, sterile glow over the hospital corridor. Thenma leaned back against the wall, folding his arms tightly across his chest, forcing his breathing into slow, controlled rhythms. Across from him, Alex shifted his weight, grimacing as the movement tugged at his injuries. "You asked what happened," Alex rasped, his voice low and rough. "I'll tell you." Thenma gave a short nod, bracing himself. "Laura was working late," Alex began, his gaze distant, as if seeing the events unfold again in front of him. "Digging through her files. Cross-referencing a string of data leaks we’d picked up from the Montgomery case—Edward Montgomery’s money laundering through Highlife Apartments. She’d found something... something serious." "Serious how?" Thenma asked quietly. Alex gave a small, bitter laugh. "Enough to put half his empire in front of a judge. Enough to finally crack the ones shielding him." Thenma’s jaw tightened. L
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM To Find The Girl
As Katarina had previously guessed, apparently Collin's fever was not a fever that healed overnight. It had been three days, and Collin still didn't have enough stamina to return to his normal activities. So Katarina insisted on telling him to stay in the room, and let Katarina take care of the things she usually took care of.One of them is like what Katarina is doing right now; negotiate with one of the people Collin suspects—Joey, the former head mechanic of The Elites family.This afternoon Katarina decided to come directly to meet Joey and talk to him, perhaps the middle-aged man would talk to her because he and Collin certainly had a lot of pressure. Collin had said himself that maybe Joey was afraid to talk to him because Collin had a strong intimidating aura, so Katarina would try to speak softly at this opportunity.Katarina steeled herself and stepped into the house Collin had told her about earlier. One of the houses that was neither luxurious nor small, a simple house that
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Chase Me
Katarina felt like her world was turning upside down. Or was it? After trying to protect the girl who was almost hit by a city transit car, Katarina couldn't help but let herself take the place of the child as she tasted the tip of the speeding metal.Katarina was only grazed, but the factors following her managed to make her fall more dramatic than that of the child she was helping. Katarina toppled over so many times, she couldn't count them to even realize whether her head hit the road or not. She was reckless.But when her head felt like it was spinning violently, the girl came to her with a look of deathly anxiety. Her expression was much different from the cold look she had shown earlier. "Lady... Lady okay?" she asked, then hit herself on the head for asking such an obvious question. Katarina was not okay!People who had seen what had happened earlier and those who hadn't, flocked to where Katarina lay limply now. Even the driver was responsible enough to come down and ask h
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Keep The Distance Far
Katarina was stunned. No matter how many times she listened, she still wondered why Joey was trying to stay away from The Elites, even to the point of indoctrinating her family like this and making it seem like The Elites was a bad ex-employer who let her out while causing trouble.The more she thought about it, the more suspicious Katarina became. If she had experienced it firsthand like this, she could no longer think badly of Collin and his prejudice against others. What Collin suspected was real, and Katarina felt it."If Lady is really someone from The Elites, please don't follow me anymore. I will pay for her hospital fees, but please don't see me or my family again." While Katarina was busy pondering, Lily suddenly said something like that. Katarina wanted to quickly evade but she restrained herself when she saw the girl's face which was really pleading, as if she did not want to be bothered by anything related to The Elites anymore.Katarina sighed. It almost occurred to he
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM I Smell Something's Off
Katarina turned around, it was Collin who came straight to Katarina quickly and snatched the drugs out of Katarina's hands. "What are you doing?" the man asked, just enough to make Katarina sigh tiredly.Though there was only a little more .... to go"You're trying to cause trouble with Silas again?" asked Collin, he looked furious but still tried to contain it. "What exactly are you thinking, Katarina? Please leave Silas alone, let him calm down!""Can you feel at ease if the real villain is still roaming around Thenma?" Katarina asked back, leaving Collin with a look of astonishment. Katarina returned Collin's gaze boldly, then she took the drugs back from Collin's hand. "I'm trying to find the real culprit, Doctor, I don't suspect Silas alone and I've searched every room in this house. And do you see what I'm holding? These are the drugs you checked when Adie bought them from outside, the ones that replaced the fake ones you used!"Collin gave Katarina a sharp look, seemingly unabl

Don't Trust The Clock
Rain hammered the streets of Blostom as if trying to wash the city clean — but nothing could cleanse what lurked in the alleys and shadows.Thenma stood at the edge of the hospital’s deserted parking structure, staring out into the wet night.His jacket clung damply to his frame, the bloodstains blending with rainwater until they were indistinguishable.[Reve: Optimal Route to Central Terminal Calculated. Risk Assessment: 81% Hostile Encounter Probability.]Thenma ignored the warning.He already knew it wasn’t going to be easy.Nothing worth surviving ever was.A faint buzz rattled in his ear — the commlink connecting him to Collin."You sure about this, boss?" Collin’s voice crackled over the line."You're walking into a setup. You know that, right?""I don’t have a choice," Thenma muttered, sliding a fresh magazine into his sidearm and checking the safety. "Joey's alive. Or someone wants us to think he is."Silence.Then, quieter:"Katarina wants to come."Thenma’s hand froze mid-ch
Do We Failed?
The hospital corridor smelled of bleach and something far less clean — desperation.It clung to the cracked linoleum floors, the scuffed walls, the faded plastic chairs bolted to the floor.Thenma sat hunched forward on one of those chairs, his elbows on his knees, staring at the floor as if the answers he needed might somehow crawl out of the tile grout. His jacket was still damp from the rain outside, the cold seeping through the thin fabric, but he barely noticed.Across from him, Laura Finch lay motionless on the hospital bed behind the glass partition.IV lines tethered her to machines that beeped in slow, measured rhythm, like a clock counting down seconds she couldn’t afford to lose.She was awake now — but barely.Her eyes flickered open and closed in exhausted intervals. She hadn’t spoken since he arrived; just the occasional faint movement of her brow, a silent acknowledgment that she recognized him.Thenma scrubbed his hands through his hair, tension knotting every muscle i
Barely Breathe
Somewhere deep beneath Blostom’s rotting heart, far below the streetlights and laughter, Joey Douglas sat chained to a chair that groaned with every shallow breath he took.The room around him was a tomb — low, damp, stinking of mildew and old rust. A single bulb swung from the ceiling, its weak light carving sharp shadows across cracked concrete walls.Joey’s face was barely recognizable anymore.One eye swollen shut. Blood dried in a crust along his temple. His lower lip split open so deep he tasted iron every time he moved.He slumped forward, wrists cuffed so tightly his hands had turned a sickly color beneath the shackles. Every small movement sent jolts of pain up his arms, but worse was the steady, gnawing ache in his ribs — cracked, maybe broken — from the last time one of the men had decided to remind him of his place.And they were still here.Three of them, standing just beyond the thin halo of light, their faces blurred by shadow and menace.Watching him. Waiting.Like gri
Ripe Enough
The rest of the drive unfolded in heavy silence, though not the brittle, wounded quiet from before. This was different—charged with thought, reflection, a thousand unspoken decisions forming behind Katarina’s downcast eyes.When Collin finally steered the car into the narrow private driveway of their safehouse, the night had deepened into a heavy, oppressive calm. The house itself was an unremarkable structure tucked behind a thicket of ironbark trees—ordinary enough to be invisible to the casual passerby, fortified enough to hold its own against anything less casual.Collin parked neatly beside the porch, cutting the engine with a smooth flick of his wrist. The moment the keys clicked out of the ignition, Katarina unbuckled her seatbelt, but didn’t immediately move to open the door. She sat there instead, the interior lights soft against her pale face, her fingers threading nervously together.He waited, patient.After a long moment, she finally spoke, her voice steadier now, though
