Chapter 70: A Funeral, Interrupted
publish date:
2025-11-07 15:10:05The air in the subterranean tunnel was thick with the dust of the disintegrated Auditor and the impossible presence of a ghost. Richard—or the man who looked like Richard—stood there, his face a roadmap of scars Jack had never seen, his eyes holding a universe of pain and secrets.
"There's no time for a reunion, kid," Richard's voice was a gravelly, urgent rasp. He was already moving, checking the tunnel entrances, his strange crossbow-rifle held at a low ready. "Lorian's dea

The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 531: Arthur's Price
Arthur Sterling looked smaller than Katherine remembered.That was impossible, of course. He had been dead long enough for memory to polish him into architecture. In family stories, Arthur Sterling was a founder, patriarch, genius, tyrant, protector, visionary, manipulator, depending on which bill had come due and who needed him blamed or praised.In the vault under Nightingale, he was simply an old man in a brown cardigan, holding a receipt with both hands as if afraid it might bite.Vance stood beside him in projection, one palm resting near Arthur's shoulder but not touching.Katherine noticed that immediately.He had learned.Or the Tail had.Do not touch what the event can punish."Grandfather," Katherine said.Arthur's recording turned its head.His eyes were not alive, but they carried intention. That made him more dangerous than most ghosts."Katherine," he said. "If you are seeing this, then the family has reached the c
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 530: Katherine's Empty Box
Katherine did not panic.Panic had never served her. Panic was a luxury for people whose mistakes did not become payroll losses, lawsuits, kidnappings, military incidents, supernatural sieges, or cosmic procedural failures.Instead, she became still.The room around her screamed. Pierce choked as the black paper root coiled through his oxygen line. Susan and Haley shouted over each other. Aaliyah cursed in three channels at once. The probate engine pressed file drawers toward the nursery floor like a machine lowering a ceiling in an old adventure movie that had hired lawyers.Katherine looked at the dinner room beyond the wall.The memory version of herself sat alone at the table in white.Not the first dinner exactly. Not the charity gala. Not Nightingale. This dining room was colder, cleaner, and far more private. The chairs around the table were empty. The silverware was perfect. A locked box lay open before memory Katherine.Empty.Of cour
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 529: The First Receipt
Katherine had always hated running from a room before she understood it.Running meant the enemy had forced tempo. It meant she was reacting to architecture instead of rewriting it. It meant someone else had chosen which problem mattered most.Nightingale Sanatorium gave her no time to be offended by that.The white nursery convulsed.Cribs slammed against walls. Files flew open, spilling old family names and possible futures like frightened birds. Lionel Pierce's wheelchair rolled backward without anyone touching it, oxygen tubes snapping taut across his face. Susan grabbed the chair handles before he tipped over.Haley stared at her phone.RUN.The golden word pulsed once.Then again.Harder."Katherine," Haley said. "When the unborn legal baby tells us to run, I feel like we should respect his brand."Katherine scanned the room.Vance's projection had vanished when the press room began collapsing, but his smile seemed to
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 528: The Uncle Who Would Not Stay Buried
David Sterling entered the press room with perfect posture, a charcoal suit, and a bullet hole of black ink in the center of his forehead.Haley's voice came through Jack's earpiece first."No."Then Susan's.A wounded sound. Not a word. Worse than a word.Katherine did not speak at all.Jack understood that silence. Katherine's anger became quiet only when it was arranging knives by category.David looked around the ruined press room with the mild disdain he had once reserved for Jack's cooking, Katherine's compassion, Haley's mistakes, and any room where he was not the most important parasite."Well," David said. "This is dramatic."Marcus raised his weapon.Jack touched his arm. "Wait."David smiled. "Still hiding behind soldiers, Jack?""No," Marcus said. "He is keeping me from being rude."David's smile faded a degree.Vance stood beside the podium, black ink dripping from his hand into the floor. The Tail's
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 527: Names With Teeth
Jack hated falling.He had fallen through markets, contracts, Source corridors, draft rooms, memory layers, and at least three places that Haley had later described as "bad elevators with theology." Falling always meant someone else had chosen the direction.This time, Jack chose faster."Marcus!""On it."Marcus threw himself into the collapsing aisle and caught Dana Ruiz by the back of her jacket before she vanished into the black paper below. His other hand closed around a camera rig, using it as an anchor. The camera snapped free from its tripod. Marcus snarled, drove one foot through the floor where the floor was still pretending to exist, and held.Jack moved into the next row.A reporter fell past him, eyes wide, mouth open around his own name."Caleb!"Jack caught his wrist.The man was heavier than he looked. Fear made bodies dense. The hole below him was not empty. It was full of pages, all blank, all eager.Caleb Pric
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 343: The Quarantine Squeeze
The golden grid enveloping the Earth and Moon hummed with the oppressive weight of celestial litigation. It wasn’t a physical wall, but a smart contract written into the fabric of localized physics. Nothing faster-than-light could leave. Nothing could enter. Earth was officially under cosmi
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 341: The Lunar Audit
Red warning sirens wailed through the crumbling Ouroboros base. The floor vibrated violently as the stolen Genesis energy in the lunar core reached critical mass. Valerik laughed, a wet, rattling sound, eager to drag the Planet's Alpha down into a fiery grave with him."Fifty seconds!" Kathe
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 340: Hostile Repossession
The dark side of the Moon was supposed to be a dead, silent wasteland. Instead, it housed the Ouroboros Lunar Command—a sprawling, heavily fortified citadel constructed from black lunar rock and shielded by thick layers of plasma-reflective energy domes.Inside the central command cent
The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge Chapter 336: The Other Side of the Ledger
The transition wasn't a physical movement; it was a violent tearing of his fundamental reality.Jack Sterling hit the ground with bone-shattering force. There was no sound, no air resistance, just the cold, hard impact against a surface that felt like polished obsidian. He gasped, his lungs
