Chapter 98

Author: Memo Harbor
Cyrus barely paid attention to the messages from the women in the building. To him, they read like short, laughable fanfics. He never even bothered to reply.

A few bold ones sent him private selfies, hoping to tempt him. He glanced at them, but they stirred no interest. Most of those women were far too confident for their own good. A few were decent-looking, but most were painfully ordinary.

They weren't like the influencers online who knew how to move just right—arch their backs, tilt their h

    Seeing Cyrus' warning, Thorgan broke into a grin. It felt good to be cared about, but he did not take the message seriously.Willowford Town had always been a backwater on the edge of Volaris City. Housing was cheap. Status was nonexistent. To most city residents, the place might as well not have existed. Who would bother targeting a town like this?"Cyrus is overthinking it," Thorgan muttered. "If anyone's eyeing something, it'd be your villa, not my dump."He tossed his phone onto the table and returned to his adult comics, already dismissing the warning.…Seventeen miles west of Willowford Town, in what had once been a newly developed district of Volaris City, rows of buildings still stood beneath layers of ice and snow. The skeletal outlines of glass and steel rose from the frozen ground, half-buried but unbroken.Two figures emerged from between them, moving with deliberate care.They made an odd pair. One stood over 6'5", built like a bear, broad shoulders straining again

    Cyrus reached out and brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes. His voice remained gentle. "You don't know this, but the first time I saw you, I felt an immediate connection. You look so much like my little sister. The moment I saw you, I wanted to protect you."Keira sniffed and looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes. She blinked hard. "Really?""Of course," Cyrus said with a soft smile. "Why would I lie to you?"A bright smile spread across Keira's face.In the Forstfall, having a man treat her like a younger sister, look after her, and shield her from harm felt like a rare and fragile happiness.Yet a faint dissatisfaction stirred in her chest. 'A sister? Only a sister?'Before she could follow the thought, Cyrus rested his right hand against her flushed cheek. Heat rushed to her face. Her head throbbed as if it might overheat."Listen to your brother," he said calmly. "You don't need to worry about anything. I'm here. As long as I'm around, no one will hurt you."H

    "Well done." Cyrus smiled as he offered the praise.Keira clasped her hands behind her back, fingers laced together, and returned a shy smile. "Try it out first. I built it to match your sniper's specs. If it doesn't feel right, I can adjust it."Cyrus gave a firm nod. "Yeah. It's excellent."Color rushed to her cheeks, turning them bright red."Boss, if you ever need anything else, just tell me," she said quickly. "I'll do my best to make it for you."Cyrus chuckled. "That's exactly why I came."He slipped an arm around her shoulders and guided her to the chair beside him.The steady warmth of his arm sent her pulse racing. She had always carried herself like a tomboy, rough around the edges and unbothered by sentiment, yet something unfamiliar had begun to stir deep inside her."Keira," Cyrus said, his tone turning practical. "Can you make grenades, mines, and other explosives?"Her head snapped toward him. Her eyes widened as if he had asked for the impossible.Cyrus blink

    "The hardware's nothing special either," Barbara said. "Breaking in was easy. Their data is encrypted, though. Cracking it cleanly will take time."She paused, fingers moving across the keyboard, lines of code reflecting in her glasses. "But based on what I've pulled so far, a sizable organization really is operating in West Ridge."She looked up. Her pale blue eyes were steady and unreadable. "We'll probably run into them sooner rather than later."Cyrus folded his arms across his chest. "What's coming can't be dodged. I don't go looking for trouble, but I don't fear it either. Anyone who tries to ruin my peace is seeking death."He was no longer the man he had once been. An impregnable fortress stood at his back, and a loyal crew stood with him, three of them Awakened, himself included. Even against a well-armed organization, he had absolute confidence in his ability to crush them."Babs, keep tracing their signal. Break the encryption. I want everything we can learn about them,

    On Buttercup's first day inside the bunker, it created absolute chaos.The bunker sprawled across multiple levels, vast and meticulously designed. To Buttercup, every shadowed corridor and polished surface demanded inspection. It darted from room to room, nose twitching, tail high, claiming the space as its own.Cyrus displayed almost absurd patience. Paw prints streaked across freshly cleaned floors. Cushions toppled. A delicate antique vase crashed to the ground and shattered into glittering fragments. He did not so much as flinch.With cats, especially strays, trust came first. If you failed at the beginning, you would rarely recover.After half a day of relentless exploration, Buttercup finally got tired. It padded toward the fireplace, circled once on the warm stone, then stretched out in a languid sprawl, limbs extended and eyes half-lidded.Cyrus released a slow breath. The gesture meant acceptance. The bunker had passed inspection.He moved with deliberate care and approa

    Animals were often more reliable than people. Earn their trust, and they became the most dependable muscle anyone could ask for.Maybe it helped that, last time, Cyrus had ordered Thorgan to step in and break up the fight between Buttercup and Ilyana. The cat must have sensed that goodwill as its attitude toward him had warmed ever since.That afternoon, Cyrus crouched by the doorway with a large food bowl set in front of him. He had piled it high with cat treats and premium kibble, and he had laid two fresh fish across the top.A short distance away, Buttercup had returned to its normal size. It tore into the food without pause. No cat could resist treat sticks. They were legendary bait, especially for strays.Cyrus smiled. "Buttercup, I've been feeding you for a week now. You've eaten a lot of my food. That makes you my cat. Come home with me, yeah?""Mrrrow…" Buttercup glanced up, narrowed its eyes, then lowered its head and continued eating."If you come back with me, you can
