Chapter 99 When the Mirror Cracked

Dominion’s sky-grid should have been serene.

Silent drones, perfect formation, each one feeding data into a reconstruction engine capable of modeling an entire city’s behavior in under eight minutes. A clean loop. A precise loop. A loop Dominion had trusted for years.

But today, the loop stuttered.

Then it buckled.

Then it began to lie.

Inside Dominion High Command

Director Varyn stood before a wall of holo-feeds as the mirror-render of Garden City flickered like a corrupted file. Shapes jittered. Heat signatures multiplied. Civilian clusters moved in ways no algorithm had accounted for.

The analysts tried to hide their panic.

“Sir, telemetry is… distorted.”

“Define distorted,” Varyn said.

“Sir, we— we’re receiving conflicting data from every drone. Heat spikes in impossible formations. Fifty… maybe sixty identical signatures in the same grid coordinate.”

Another analyst, thinner and shaking, added, “And the sound-scans—sir, they’re bouncing back in loops. People are speaking at the s

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 112 The Cost of Answering Back

    By dawn the fog over the eastern ridge had turned the color of old bruises. Smoke lay inside it, thin and bitter, tracing where the night had gone wrong.Whisper Team had slipped in under cover of that same fog hours earlier—shadows inside a larger shadow, pulse rifles shrouded, helmets fed by Dominion’s last clean satellite link. They had expected patterns they knew: frightened militia, scattered resistance, a city still learning how to wear its courage.Instead, the ground itself had moved.Now the fog hid bodies.Far below the ridge, in a culvert where the creek choked on rubble, a woman in matte-black armor lay half-submerged, visor cracked. A fiber line looped around her boot, leading back to an innocuous box that had once powered a tram signal. It had detonated when her boot crossed it, not like a mine—louder, angrier. The blast had been calculated not to shred but to throw, hurling her into the culvert where the water swallowed her screams. The city had learned to disarm withou

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 111 When the Ground Learned to Fight Back

    The echoes of the answering strike had not faded when the night split open again — not with gunfire, not with explosions, but with something stranger. Something heavier. Something deliberate.Whisper Team, already shaken by the counterattack they had not anticipated, froze in the skeletal remains of the old north transit hub. Their formation — normally silent, fluid, predatory — faltered for the first time since the operation began.And in that hesitation, the city breathed.A low rumble rolled under the streets, like the shifting of an ancient stone giant. Windows trembled. Dust drifted from old beams. Somewhere in the south quarter, a child woke and whispered to her mother, “Is the earth angry?”No one had an answer.But Ethan did.He felt the vibration before his mind even processed the sound. His instincts — sharpened through every siege, every betrayal, every night he’d fought to rebuild something worth living in — told him exactly what it was.“They’re forcing us out,” Mira said

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 110 The Phantom Who Interferes

    The masked stranger vanished into the city’s skyline as if the rooftops themselves had swallowed them whole. No footstep echoes. No flutter of fabric. No trail. Only the faintest tremor of a loose sheet of metal still vibrating where they had last touched down.Ethan stood at the rooftop’s edge, staring into the direction the stranger had gone, his breath still uneven from the fight with Whisper Team. Jun paced behind him, muttering curses under his breath as he checked the magazine of his rifle. Mira kept her blade drawn, eyes narrowed in suspicion. Alexander’s portable jammer still hissed and sparked at his feet.Only Lorren, bruised and staring at nothing, seemed unable to accept what had just unfolded.“Whisper Team doesn’t retreat,” he whispered to himself. “They don’t pull back. Not unless—”“Outmatched?” Jun snapped. “Looks like somebody just spooked the empire’s favorite boogeymen.”Lorren shook his head sharply. “No. Outmatched is one thing. But Whisper Team is doctrinally in

    The echo of that answered strike rippled through Garden City like a shockwave born from the marrow of the earth itself. Windows rattled. Dust rained from the undersides of overhangs. Every rooftop and towerline vibrated with a hum so deep it felt less like sound and more like a pulse coming from the bones of the city.Ethan felt it first—an instinctive tightening in his chest, a sensation that told him this moment was no longer drift, no longer tension held in a razor’s edge. It was collision. And collision meant no one got to remain a spectator.Jun was already moving. “Positions! Now! Whisper Team won’t hesitate again!”But something in the air had shifted. Their enemy—the unseen, untraceable execution arm of Dominion—had hesitated. Whisper Team, built on precision and rapid death, had paused. Because someone had struck back at them first.Alexander, crouched over the comm array he’d patched into a half-dead power line, looked up with a face drained of its usual confident arrogance

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 108 The First Strike

    The warning came not by radio, not by signal, not by any of the channels Ethan and the council had rebuilt after the Dominion core fell. It came in the form of silence — a sudden, unnatural stillness that pressed against the night like a hand closing around a throat.Alexander noticed it first. He froze mid-stride along the northern parapet, eyes narrowing, breath stilling. The air tasted wrong — metallic, sharp, charged. Garden City’s wind always carried noise: distant generators, the chatter of late workers, the hum of lamps. But now, nothing.“Jun,” he called quietly. “You hear that?”Jun didn’t have to ask what. He heard it too. Or rather, he heard what was missing.“Whisper Team,” Jun muttered. “It has to be. Nobody else can kill sound across a whole district.”Whisper Team — Dominion’s invisible vanguard, the ghost-unit known for two things: undetectable entry and leaving no survivors. Their operations always began the same way: First, silence. Then, darkness. Then, bodies.E

  • The Trillionaire System   Chapter 107 Shadows Crossing Lines

    The night over Garden City felt too still. Too quiet. A hush that didn’t belong to peace, but to the kind of tension the earth itself seemed to hold before something catastrophic cracked through it. The towers, half-lit and patched with the new mesh lines, glowed faintly like watchful eyes staring into the dark valley where the Whisper Team was last sighted.Ethan stood on the eastern parapet, cloak pulled tight against the cold, watching the ridge with a stillness that fooled no one. His hands were steady. His breathing controlled. But his mind was a storm — calculating, planning, anticipating.Whisper Team. Dominion’s invisible blade. The ones sent when an empire wanted someone erased without footprints.They had moved through the valley like smoke, leaving not tracks, not heat signatures, nothing. Alexander’s sensors had caught only fragments — interference pulses, faint distortions along the mesh, shadows that didn’t belong.Then came the message. Not sent through Dominion chann
