Chapter 558

Memo Harbor
Just before dawn, when the sky barely began to lighten, Buttercup's sharp cry jolted Cyrus awake.

He snapped his eyes open and rose from the couch at once. For the past few days, he had slept fully dressed and ready for anything.

He checked the monitors. Movement flickered across the low ridge.

"So you want to strike while I'm asleep," he muttered. "Clever."

In the early hours, people slept most deeply. Florian intended to exploit that window. Whether it worked or not, the attempt made sense

    Ilyana frowned as she listened to Florian."That's it? It can't be that simple." Her voice remained even. "Even if we rotate and use our abilities nonstop, it would still take half a year, maybe longer, to see real results. I doubt the base will allow us to waste that much time. And if the plan is for just the four of us to attack, why mobilize all the villagers?"Florian smiled and nodded. "Ms. Brandt, you're sharp. No wonder you're an educator."Ilyana crossed her arms. "I'm a mere martial lecturer."Florian waved it off. "A lecturer is still a teacher. You're right. The surface attacks are just bait."He tapped the 3D model, then pointed below ground level."Our real strike will come from underground." A hard glint flashed in his eyes. "Experience shows that when dealing with hardened structures, TNT works best."In an instant, Ilyana understood, and her blood ran cold. "You're sending the villagers to their deaths?"They had discussed underground demolition before, but with

    Thorgan felt deeply unsettled. First, he feared that his identity as Cyrus' informant might be exposed. Second, he could see Cyrus' earlier warnings slowly coming true.At the beginning, when West Ridge's Special Forces arrived in Willowford Town, they had asked only for food. Then they stationed large forces there and began demanding housing, steady food supplies, and intelligence about Cyrus, dragging the entire town into danger.Now they were asking the villagers to directly assist in the assault on Cyrus' bunker.Thorgan knew Cyrus' personality well. If Cyrus survived this crisis, he would certainly deal with Willowford Town afterward.As for the West Ridge Base, Thorgan could not predict how far they might go once they finished using the town.Behind Florian stood Ilyana, beside Bianca and Damian. She silently thanked herself for keeping two phones. If ordered to surrender hers, she could hand over the decoy without concern.For now, Florian did not suspect her. First, her c

    When the villagers of Willowford Town heard that only their communication devices would be confiscated, they visibly relaxed. Smiles even appeared on a few faces.Losing their phones meant losing entertainment, but they did not see the special forces team's actions as unreasonable.People here had always been obedient. As long as they were not being asked to die, they could endure quite a lot, even when it chipped away at their own interests.The process remained orderly. Everyone cooperated and handed over their phones and computers without protest.In the crowd, however, Thorgan's heart pounded. The others were not worried because they had no contact with Cyrus. He, however, was Cyrus's inside man.Fortunately, he was a coward by nature. The day he agreed to act as a double agent, he had already prepared for this exact scenario. He deleted his chat history with Cyrus every day and had even set up a shortcut to remove Cyrus from his contacts instantly.When Trenton came to colle

    If Cyrus had agreed to join the West Ridge Order, his status would have risen above Florian's without question.Florian would have had to swallow the humiliation of failure. Worse, he would never have been able to avenge his fallen brothers."Yes," Florian replied coldly. "I guarantee the bunker will fall."This time, he chose his words more carefully. He gave no deadline. He had already endured enough embarrassment and had no intention of facing it again.Rosalind noticed the subtle shift but said nothing.Florian was West Ridge's strongest combat asset. Even Magnus treated him with caution. There was no need to press him further.That night, Florian summoned his most trusted subordinates. They remained in his room until dawn, discussing strategies to deal with Cyrus.After the brutal clashes so far, they understood one thing clearly. Cyrus was an exceptionally difficult opponent. If they wanted to win, they would have to commit fully. They would even have to consider extreme m

    "Let's be clear," Cyrus shot back. "You started this war. Whatever happens next is on you."The call ended on a sour note.Magnus was livid. He could not tolerate open provocation from a mere warehouse manager.On the other hand, Cyrus remained calm. If Magnus truly held stronger cards, he would not have bothered to negotiate.Even so, the missile threat lingered in Cyrus's mind.Was it real? Logically, Volaris should not have independent missile launch authority.Still, caution cost nothing.Cyrus ordered everyone to relocate temporarily to the third underground level, the sports complex. At that depth, combined with the bunker's reinforced structure, even a missile strike would fail to destroy it. Special warheads were another matter, but that possibility was close to zero.Magnus did not have that level of authority. No one would approve turning Volaris into a crater just to eliminate one man.To be certain, Cyrus messaged Ilyana and asked her to confirm whether the West Ri

    "Old man, just stop," Cyrus said lazily. "You're not going to win against me."The casual address, "Old man," carried open contempt, and it made Magnus' killing intent flare. He fixed his gaze on Cyrus and said darkly, "Do you really think hiding inside that turtle shell means I can't touch you?"All I need is to launch a single missile. One missile, and you and that bunker will be reduced to ashes."Cyrus' heart skipped for half a beat.A missile was no small threat. If one truly struck the bunker, his pocket dimension could not absorb that level of destruction. The surface structure would be obliterated, and even the underground sections could suffer catastrophic shock damage.None of it showed on his face. Instead, Cyrus clapped slowly and smiled with open mockery. "Oh? Since when does Volaris City have the authority to deploy missiles? Impressive. Truly impressive."Volaris did not have a major military district.Even if missile silos existed in the region, launch authority

    As he spoke, Cyrus pointed toward Eleanor. "Above all, don't let yourself grow soft and allow a woman to cloud your judgment. A capable man will never lack women. You must know who the head of the household is."Kenneth nodded again and again as he listened. Whether he truly took those words to hea

    The rooms on the basement level were spacious, each measuring around 500 square feet. In addition to a double bed, each room included a private bathroom, a desk, and a bookshelf lined with books.Scarlett had only just arrived and had not yet adjusted mentally. An unfamiliar yet handsome man was ke

    What followed unfolded exactly as Cyrus had predicted. Dorian had set up an automated messaging system.Twenty-two hours after his death, a scheduled program sent a text to every remaining phone in Volaris City.The message named Cyrus, listed his current address, and claimed he possessed a large

    Out of guilt, Scarlett took on most of the housework. Zoey did not bother to be polite about it. For Cyrus, the arrangement was ideal. Zoey was more useful to him. When sickness arrived, people learned very quickly how valuable a doctor truly was.As they continued living together, Cyrus realized
