The maid dropped a black silk evening gown on the bed like a shroud. "Put it on. You’re expected downstairs."

"In this house, you’re whatever Dominic says you are," the maid replied, her voice as cold as the marble floors. She stepped out, leaving the dress behind.

Lina changed. She had no choice. Two guards escorted her down the grand staircase, their presence heavy and silent. The Moretti estate had shed its fortress skin for a tuxedo. The

    Shinjiro kicked the door frame once, then kicked it again until the wood crashed inward.Five mercenaries flooded the office, rifles up. "Clear left! Clear right!"Ichiro stood by the window, hands resting on his cane."Where are the bank codes?!" Shinjiro said, jamming his rifle barrel into Ichiro's face.Ichiro didn't flinch. "You bring five rented thugs and think you're a king?""You left me at the armory!" Shinjiro shouted, finger tightening on the trigger. "You tried handing me to the Feds!""Because you're a loose cannon," Ichiro said. "You don't run a syndicate with brute force. You're just a street thug."Shinjiro smashed the rifle stock across Ichiro's jaw. The old man stumbled back, blood on his lip, but gripped his cane and stood right back up."Sign the transfer!" Shinjiro screamed, fisting his lapels. "Give me the routing codes or I put a bullet in your head!""Pull the trigger," Ichiro said, staring straight into his eyes. "Kill me and watch those accounts lock forever.

    Rain hit the rusted roof as Shinjiro's SUVs pulled into the South District warehouse one by one.Ten of his original loyal hitters jumped out, guns up, securing the doors.Shinjiro stepped onto a wooden crate as the recalled mercenaries filed back into the room. Forty armed men filled the dark space."Ichiro left us to rot at the armory," Shinjiro said, eyes sweeping across the crowd. "He sat in his penthouse and tried to hand us to the Feds."His captain stepped up. "The old man controls the bank accounts, Shinjiro.""I hold the guns!" Shinjiro shot back, pointing at his chest. "And guns take the money. We take that tower tonight."The mercenaries cheered, racking rifle bolts and checking tactical gear.Shinjiro felt his pulse racing—this wasn't a desperate retreat anymore. With his ten core loyalists and thirty hired pros back under one roof, he held real power again.The captain nodded, turning to the men. "You heard him!"Shinjiro hopped off the crate, looking at his crew. "Get so

    Rain hit the sedan as Rachel Moss stepped out, pulling her coat tight. Hugo stood by the doors, arms crossed."He's inside," Hugo said.Moss walked past him into the library, where Dominic was pouring bourbon."Call off your dogs, Dominic," Moss said, ignoring the glass he slid across the desk.Dominic took a sip. "Shinjiro hit my pier, Rachel.""I got a federal judge to sign warrants an hour ago!" Moss's hand cracked against the desk as she leaned in. "My task force is locking down the city to grab Shinjiro legally. Don't mess up my case.""Warrants take three months of paperwork," Dominic said, setting his glass down. "A bullet takes half a second. Shinjiro brought dynamite to my dock. I don't wait for judges.""Director's watching this building right now," Moss warned. "Start a street war, and he'll drag your whole family into a cell."Dominic came around the desk and stopped in front of her. "Tell your director to try it. Get out of my house."Moss glared at him, realizing he wasn

    The jet's tires screeched on the wet tarmac.The metal stairs unfolded. Ichiro stepped into the rain, leaning on his cane. He walked right past them to the armored SUV.Ichiro's aide, Saito, opened the door. "Welcome to Nova City, sir.""Where's Tanaka?" Ichiro asked, sliding inside."Waiting at the tower.""Drive," Ichiro said. "We have work to do."Down in the safehouse, Sophia's hand cracked against her desk. "Holy shit. Someone just took out the European mirrors."Lina turned her chair. "Took out how?""DDoS hit the main sites, and two of our syndication partners pulled the piece under legal threat," Sophia said, tapping her screen. "The archive mirrors are still live, but the main links are all dead."Marvin looked up from his phone. "It gets worse. Look at the local feed. Some fall guy just walked into the FBI and confessed.""A scapegoat," Lina said. "Ichiro bought the media and gave the Feds a dummy in the same hour."Marvin shook his head, cursing under his breath. "The mayor

    Tanaka pushed open the suite door. The room was empty. The balcony window gaped open, rain spraying over the soaked carpet."He's gone," Tanaka said.Shinjiro stepped inside, eyes scanning the dark room. "How the hell did he slip past my guards?""I don't care how." Tanaka turned on his heel. "Find him. Now."Three miles away, a black SUV cut through the dark rain.Kenji gripped the passenger handle, his knuckles white. Beside him, his loyal lieutenant checked the rearview mirror."Where are we heading, boss?" the lieutenant asked. "They locked down the safehouses.""Not all of them," Kenji said, breathing heavily. "I built a backup location two years ago. Off the books, paid in cash. Nobody knows it exists.""You sure?""Drive," Kenji said. "It's the only place we have left."Back in the glass tower, Shinjiro's fist cracked against the wall."You mean to tell me nobody saw him?!" Shinjiro roared at his subordinate."We checked his regular spots, boss," the guard stammered, backing aw

    Kenji pressed the phone to his ear, pacing the glass floor."Five hundred grand," Kenji said."Lina Rossi's got clean receipts, Takahashi," the editor of the City Gazette wheezed over the line. "Routing codes, shell accounts. I can't just kill her story.""Seven hundred," Kenji said. "Offshore wire tonight, or your career is dead."A pause over the line. "First half to the usual wallet," the editor grunted.Kenji hung up and turned to Cleo. "Wire seven hundred grand to the Gazette's editor from the Singapore account.""That leaves a fresh paper trail," Cleo warned."It buys the local press," Kenji said, grabbing his scotch. "Send the money."Cleo swiped her screen. "Done. Hits his account in three minutes."Down in the basement, the air was thick with burnt coffee and machine heat.Sophia turned her monitor. "Marvin, look at this."Marvin walked over. "What've you got?""A seven-hundred-thousand-dollar wire just hit a private wallet," Sophia said, keys clattering. "From Takahashi's Si

    The files screamed as she cranked the handle. Rust and old grease protested the intrusion, the screech echoing like a dying animal in the Sub-Level 3 tomb.Lina ignored the noise.

    Behind the counter, the espresso machine screeched, drowning out the gray noise of Nova City's morning rush.Lina Rossi sat in the back, watching the street through the rain-streaked glass.

    A heavy metallic bang echoed from the far end of the vault—the main fire door being kicked off its hinges.Lina didn't think. She dived behind a row of collapsed iron cabinets, squeezing into a gap between rusted steel and the cold concrete wall. The space was so tight it bruised her ribs, but she
