Sebastian Vale.” Tan slowly rubbed his face. “Well… that is not creepy at all.” Lucas looked worried. “How did he even send this through the system?” Avelyn studied the message carefully. “He did not hack the network.” Lucas frowned. “What do you mean?” Avelyn pointed at the data logs. “The message came through a public shipping data channel.” Lucas blinked. “You are right.” Tan sighed. “So technically he did not attack the system.” Cassian spoke calmly. “He wanted us to see it.” Elena walked into the control room at that moment. She looked at the screen. “See what?” Tan stepped aside. “Your favorite billionaire rival is sending motivational quotes now.” Elena read the message quietly. Her expression did not change. But her eyes sharpened slightly. “Yes.” She looked at Cassian. “He has started.” L
The cyber attack stopped after twenty minutes. But no one in the Singapore data center felt relaxed. The servers continued humming quietly, rows of lights blinking in steady patterns. Engineers watched their monitors carefully, checking every piece of data moving through the system. Lucas stood in front of the main control screen. His eyes moved quickly across the lines of code. Tan leaned against the wall and stretched his arms. “Well… that was exciting.” Lucas did not smile. “That was only a test.” Tan sighed. “I know.” Avelyn walked slowly across the room, studying the large digital map on the wall. The port of Singapore glowed brightly, connected to dozens of shipping routes moving across the ocean. “This system is already attracting attention,” she said quietly. Lucas nodded. “Of course it is.” Tan rubbed his chin. “If Sebastian Vale can already attack the network…” He paused. “…then he must have serious resources.” Cassian stood silently behind them. His atte
Night fell over Singapore. The port did not sleep. Massive cranes continued lifting containers. Ships arrived and departed under bright white lights. Trucks moved constantly through the endless rows of cargo. Inside the port’s new data center, rows of servers hummed quietly. The first core of the global logistics network had just been installed. Lucas stood in front of a large monitor, watching the system carefully. Lines of data moved across the screen. Container numbers. Ship locations. Cargo routes. Everything flowing into the system. Tan stood behind him with a cup of coffee. “So… this thing is already working?” Lucas nodded. “Yes.” Tan looked impressed. “That was fast.” Lucas typed something on the keyboard. “The system is only monitoring Singapore for now.” He pointed at the screen. “But look at this.” A digital map appeared. Hundreds of ships moving through nearby waters. Tan leaned closer. “Wait… the system can track all of those?” Lucas nodded. “Yes.
The news reached Sebastian Vale before the day ended. Inside his private office in Rio de Janeiro, the city stretched across the horizon like a glowing sea of lights. The ocean moved slowly in the distance, calm and endless. Sebastian sat in his chair, reading a report on a large digital screen. His assistant stood nearby. “Confirmation came from two independent sources,” the assistant said. Sebastian leaned back slowly. “So it is true.” The assistant nodded. “Yes.” “Cassian Blackridge and Elena Varga have formed a temporary alliance.” Sebastian smiled. Not a surprised smile. More like the reaction of a chess player who expected the opponent’s move. “I was wondering how long it would take.” The assistant looked confused. “You expected this?” Sebastian stood and walked toward the window. “Yes.” He looked out at the glowing city. “They are both too intelligent to ignore the larger threat.” The assistant folded his arms. “So what happens now?” Sebastian’s eyes sharp
The ocean breeze moved gently through the open windows of the restaurant.The conversation that had just taken place was something none of them had expected.Cassian Blackridge and Elena Varga had agreed to work together.Two enemies.One mission.Build the global logistics network before Sebastian Vale.The moment the agreement was spoken, the atmosphere around the table changed.Not friendly.Not comfortable.Just… careful.Every word now mattered.Every move would be watched.Tan leaned back in his chair and shook his head slowly.“I still cannot believe this is happening.”Lucas gave a small smile.“History is often strange.”Tan pointed at Cassian and Elena.“These two people have spent months trying to destroy each other.”He paused.“And now they are starting a joint project.”Elena calmly picked up her coffee.“It is not friendship.”She took a sip.“It is strategy.”Cassian nodded slightly.“Yes.”Avelyn watched both of them closely.“You two trust each other enough to do thi
The restaurant was quiet.The ocean outside moved slowly under the bright morning sun. Waves touched the rocks below the windows, creating a calm rhythm.But inside the room, the tension around the table had grown stronger.Elena Varga had just made an offer that no one expected.A temporary alliance.Cassian Blackridge sat across from her, completely calm.Avelyn watched him carefully.Tan leaned back in his chair, shaking his head slowly.Lucas looked stunned.For a few moments, no one spoke.Finally Tan broke the silence.“I just want to confirm something.”Everyone looked at him.“You two have been trying to destroy each other for months.”Elena nodded slightly.“That is correct.”Tan continued.“And now you want to work together.”Elena smiled faintly.“For a short time.”Tan rubbed his forehead.“This feels like a trap.”Elena looked at him calmly.“It is not a trap.”Tan pointed at her.“You say that like we should believe you.”Elena’s eyes moved back to Cassian.“I am not ask
