After Enzo’s report, the first hour passed in controlled silence.

Blackstone never panic but immediately adapted.

Opened doors were quietly closed and secured. Rotations of staff shifted by two-minute intervals. The passive cameras started to switch to active tracking, their faint red indicators glowing sharper in the dim corridors.

Dominic stood once more in the lower security room, the folded parchment now hidden in one of Alessandro’s concealed compartments beneath the main console.

    Sebastian slowly lowered his weapon while the reinforcement collapsed motionless beneath him.Nobody spoke.Nobody even looked at the body long.There was no time anymore as the descent narrowed further.Suddenly, the tunnel opened and all of them froze.The Axis Core chamber stretched impossibly beneath the mountain like an underground cathedral buried beneath centuries.Massive.Ancient.Terrifying.Stone pillars rose upward into darkness beyond visibility while enormous circular pathways spiraled downward toward the center structure below.Old machinery.New technology.Ancient engineering fused with modern systems layered across centuries of occupation.And at the center is The Core.A massive circular mechanism embedded deep into the mountain itself.Metal.Stone.Rotating structures humming softly with impossible age.Enzo stared. “Oh.” He muttered, looking at what his eyes are seeing. “Oh, that’s deeply evil-looking.”The chamber wasn’t empty as dozens of armed figures already

    The Axis Gate descended deeper than any of them imagined.Instead of expecting it to be tunnel or bunker what greeted them were layers being uncovered of the history itself, every step downward felt older and heavier.As though the mountain remembered every death that had occurred beneath it.Now, it will remember them too.Dominic’s group moved through the collapsing bypass corridor with brutal urgency while gunfire echoed endlessly behind and below them.The unknown operators continued pushing from the upper ridges while Luca’s men hunted from the lower descent.The Gate itself kept pressing against their minds with whispers, disorienting them and pressuring them as well as instilling fear.The deeper they descended, the less human the tunnels felt.The walls changed.Stone became smoother in some places, carved deliberately with markings older than modern language. Ancient symbols stretched across the surfaces in faded geometric sequences that seemed almost mathematical beneath the

    “DOMINIC!” Luca’s voice roared through the tunnels. Another explosion shook the corridor violently. “You should’ve stayed at Blackstone!”Dominic advanced instead.“YOU F8CKING SHOULD’VE STAYED AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!” He yelled angrily.More blood and gunfire started to exchange again, the tunnel becoming war itself. The unknown operators attacked from the upper ridges again suddenly.This time, they are hitting Luca’s men directly where three men dropped instantly.Another tumbled screaming into the lower shaft below.“They’re everywhere!” Aurelio cursed sharply as he took a shot.“No, they’re not.” Reyes muttered grimly beside Dominic. He looked towards Luca and his men before staring towards the direction of the gunfire from the unknown operators. “They’re herding us.”Realization hit Dominic immediately on their every movement, every engagement and every tunnel split.The one Althea found. He thought hardly.The Axis Gate kept compressing all three groups toward the same convergence

    The Axis Gate fought back with no mercy and Dominic understood it now.The Gate itself resisted intrusion like a living thing buried beneath centuries of stone and blood.The deeper they descended, the worse it became.Gunfire thundered endlessly through the tunnels.Muzzle flashes erupted violently against ancient walls while three separate forces collided beneath the earth in a storm of violence and confusion.Dominic’s men.The unknown operators.Luca’s network.Somewhere beneath all of it, the Axis Gate is manipulating them all.“LEFT!” Dominic shouted over the chaos while firing toward the advancing corridor ahead.One of Luca’s men dropped instantly, blood spraying against the stone before another rushed into position behind him.Explosions shook the tunnel violently and dust cascaded from above.The walls groaned like the mountain itself resented their presence.Michael moved beside Dominic with brutal precision, eliminating another approaching shooter before dragging one wound

    The descent finally began slowly and the tunnels swallowed the sound almost immediately.Stone walls narrowed around them while overhead lights attached to tactical gear cast shifting shadows across ancient surfaces carved long before any of them were born.Water dripped steadily somewhere deeper below.The air started to smell metallic and old like buried history and rust.And worst of all, the tunnels felt wrong.Althea had warned them repeatedly.“Pressure manipulation.” She enumerated dozens of times. “Behavioral funneling. Instinctive directional control. You have to focus.”Now Dominic understood exactly what she meant.Every few minutes, his body would automatically want to turn right despite logic telling him otherwise.The tunnels subtly curved.Perspective shifted and the space started to compress unevenly.Psychological architecture. Dominic thought darkly.Sebastian muttered quietly behind him, “This place is engineered to make people panic.”“It’s working.” Enzo answered

    Only the faint glow of dashboard instruments illuminated the inside of the armored vehicles as the convoy moved without headlights.Dominic led the descent northward through abandoned mountain roads few people even knew existed anymore.Rain fell intermittently but it was not enough to slow their movement but it did make the darkness heavier as the drive continues.More suffocating.Inside the lead vehicle, nobody spoke for nearly twenty minutes. Their weapons are rested ready while maps remained open across Sebastian’s lap and the men are looking at them from time to time.Vincent continuously monitored the encrypted movement tracker while Michael reviewed the last structural overlays Althea gave them before leaving.Enzo meanwhile stared out the window like a man reconsidering every life decision that brought him here.“I hate tunnels.” He muttered but no one answered. He let out a heavy sigh. “You know what’s beneath tunnels?”Sebastian rubbed tiredly at his forehead.“Please don’t

    There was no violence.Only absence.Althea immediately noticed when Helena did not arrive for breakfast.As far Althea knows, Helena was never late but deliberately missing. There were no familiar footsteps, any soft knocks. She felt no presence that had, for years now, become the quiet spine of A

    The garden behind the Devereaux complex was designed to deceive.At first glance, it looked harmless. The garden stretches wide into manicured grass, low stone paths warmed by the sun, a canopy of old trees filtering light into something gentle and almost domestic. Birds nested freely here

    Michael chose a place neutral by design.It has no Devereaux crest nor a Valtieri influence.The place is a quiet restaurant overlooking the river. It is usually frequented by men who negotiated borders and buried consequences beneath polite conversation. A place where privacy was b

    The morning after the gala arrived with deceptive gentleness.Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the Devereaux complex, turning marble floors warm and honey-colored.The estate as usual woke itself quietly. There’s no rush, no disorder as the staff moved with their usual precision. Break
