Chapter 122: Neon Rain
Tanggal publikasi:
2025-11-25 06:58:02The rain in New Kowloon was corrosive. It hissed when it hit the pavement, a chemical byproduct of the unregulated factories in the upper levels. It turned the neon lights of the city into a blurred, psychedelic nightmare of pinks, blues, and greens.
They had stolen a vehicle—a battered, rust-bucket hover-van that smelled of stale curry and wet dog. Ben Carter was behind the wheel, driving with a manic desperation that defied his usual composed demeanor. He swerved through the mu

The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 526: The Witness Blackout
The lights went out in Vance Capital's press room, but the darkness did not arrive like ordinary darkness.Ordinary darkness had mercy. It hid fear. It gave people permission to become bodies instead of performances. This darkness did the opposite. It made every breath sound recorded. Every heartbeat felt indexed. Every swallowed scream seemed sorted into a folder before it left the throat.Jack stood still.That was the first rule after the first judgment. Do not move because the room wants motion. Do not speak because silence feels like surrender. Do not strike because the enemy has offered violence as a hallway with lights at the end.Marcus shifted one step closer to Jack's left side.That was all.One step.The movement was almost silent, but Jack heard leather flex, muscle tighten, metal whisper beneath cloth. Marcus had no cosmic armor now. No future shield blazing across his chest. No Source-given certainty that he would survive the next do
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 525: First Judgment, Second Dinner
Jack entered the Vance Capital press room with Marcus at his left and no system in his head.Cameras turned.Reporters surged.Vance stood at the podium beneath lights bright enough to bleach mercy from a man's face. Behind him, the altered Vance logo curved into its serpent shape more openly now. People still did not see it. Or they saw it and translated it into branding.That was how ownership survived. It taught the room to call the warning a design choice."Mr. Miller," Vance said. "You came."Jack stopped ten feet from the podium.Marcus scanned exits, hands relaxed, body ready. He wore no future shield, no cosmic armor, no Guardian certainty. Just a dark suit strained over dangerous shoulders and the calm of a man who had decided where to stand.Jack said, "You invited me.""I invited you to sign.""You invited me to choose under threat."Vance smiled for the cameras. "Dramatic language from a man whose wife is currently d
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 524: The Baby Who Was Not Born
Nightingale Sanatorium still looked like a place where rich families sent guilt to die quietly.Katherine hated it on sight.The lawns were too neat. The brick facade too tasteful. The windows too clean for a building that made its money storing secrets in human bodies. Haley stood beside her in oversized sunglasses and a cream coat she had described as "heiress under legal threat." Susan stood on Katherine's other side, clutching her purse with both hands."You came here before?" Haley asked.Katherine looked at the brass sign. "Not in this version."Haley went still.Susan whispered, "This version."Katherine did not explain.They entered under false names that would not survive serious inspection, which was fine because Aaliyah had already replaced serious inspection with a looping maintenance alert and a fake plumbing emergency. The lobby smelled of lilies and disinfectant. An elderly woman played piano in the corner, repeating the same fo
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 523: Vance Buys the Ending
Preston Vance held his press conference at noon.That alone was an act of war.He should have been hiding, denying, privately threatening directors, and buying time. Instead he stood before cameras in the lobby of Vance Capital with the calm confidence of a man who believed the next hour already belonged to him.Behind him, the company logo had changed.Not enough for normal viewers to notice. Jack noticed. Katherine did too.The V in Vance curved subtly into a black serpent biting its tail."The allegations circulating this morning are absurd," Vance said into a forest of microphones. "They come from a distressed executive household, an unemployed financier, and a man with no credentials who appears to have inserted himself into a serious corporate transaction."Jack watched from Katherine's office.Haley watched from the couch, furious.Susan sat near the window, silent and smaller than Jack had ever seen her.David had been restra

The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 522: The Contract Susan Kept
Susan Sterling had kept the original marriage contract in a locked cedar box beneath winter scarves, old gala photographs, and a stack of letters she claimed she never read.Jack knew because Katherine knew how her mother hid things."She keeps emotional liabilities under fabric," Katherine said as they entered Susan's dressing room through the private corridor. "It makes her feel as if softness is containment."Haley, still shaken from the warehouse and wearing a borrowed Sterling Industrial hoodie over designer leggings, whispered, "That is the meanest accurate thing I have ever heard."Marcus stood outside the door, holding the hallway against anything Vance might send. Aaliyah was remote, cursing through Katherine's phone while stripping the Alpha seed's code. Ben was arranging injunctions, market defenses, and something involving emergency creditor status for a sandwich shop Vance had once stiffed.Jack stood in the center of Susan's immaculate dressing

The Richat Structure was huge. From space, it looked like a blue eye. From the ground, it was a labyrinth of concentric rock rings, canyons, and salt flats.Neferet's camp was set up in the center ring. It looked less like a camp and more like a futuristic gladiator arena. Hover-drones buz

The inside of the tank smelled like diesel, unwashed socks, and pickled cabbage. It was the most beautiful smell Jack had ever encountered."Name is Boris," the tank driver shouted over the roar of the engine. He passed the vodka bottle back to them. "Welcome to 'Uber: War Zone Edition'. F

The eye of the Atomic Tyrant wasn't biological. It was elemental. It stared at Jack with the weight of a thousand dying suns."It's waking up!" Finch screamed over the comms, his voice distorted by panic. "Valerius jump-started the fission process! The core is going critical! You have mayb
