Chapter 282 :Our Building Has Houseguests

The Sterling Tower crisis took seventeen hours to resolve.By the time Harkin's emergency board meeting concluded at three in the morning, Jack owned his building again. By four, the mercenaries had been extracted from their frozen suits and were being "debriefed" in a way that Katherine assured him was both effective and legally defensible. By five, Ben had identified seventeen separate bank accounts that Midnight Capital had been using to launder money from sources that even Jack's inherited knowledge of supernatural finance couldn't fully trace."The Ouroboros doesn't just have money," Ben reported, his voice hoarse from hours of continuous work. "They have money that has money. Shell companies inside shell companies inside shell companies. It's like a financial nesting doll, except the smallest doll is made of cocaine and despair.""Can you track it?""Some of it. The older transactions are buried too deep—I'd need quantum processing power to crack the

Chapter 283 :Congratulations, You Now Own A Five-Star Refugee Camp

The champagne was flat, the electricity was out, and somewhere on the forty-third floor, a werewolf was trying to flush a fire extinguisher down the toilet.Jack stood in his reclaimed office—his office, damn it, even if it currently smelled like Harkin's cologne and desperation—watching the sunrise paint Manhattan in shades of orange and bankruptcy. The victory over Midnight Capital had lasted approximately six hours before reality came knocking with a sledgehammer."Power's been cut," Ben announced, shuffling in with his tablet and a nosebleed that had graduated from "concerning" to "probably should see a doctor." "Con Edison got a court order at 4 AM. Something about 'unpaid bills accrued during the illegal occupation' and 'we don't care who owns the building now.'""How much?""Three point seven million. Plus late fees. Plus interest. Plus a 'special assessment' that I'm pretty sure they made up on the spot."Katherine appeared in the doorway

Chapter 284 :You've Got Mail

Jack had been in bad situations before.He'd fought an ancient consciousness that lived in the space between dimensions. He'd survived the destruction of a supernatural council that had ruled for millennia. He'd sailed across the Atlantic on a boat made of frozen nothing while leading an army of werewolves.But there was something particularly frustrating about being caught in a trap that he'd known was a trap and had walked into anyway."The invitation," he said, keeping his voice level, "specifically mentioned that Haley's core would be delivered to me. Not the other way around.""Consider this expedited delivery." Sephira moved through the room like she owned it—which, Jack realized, she probably did. "We agreed that you would receive Haley Martinez, intact and functional. We never specified the location.""That's a pretty liberal interpretation of our deal.""The Ouroboros has survived for centuries by being... creative with our agreements." S

Chapter 285 :The Bull Bleeds Black

The stock market opens at 9:30 AM. At 9:29, Jack Sterling was standing in the lobby of Sterling Tower, watching Ben's face turn a shade of gray that shouldn't exist on living tissue."Explain it again," Jack said. "In words that someone who spent the last six months fighting cosmic horrors can understand."Ben wiped his nose with a tissue that came away spotted with red. Third nosebleed this morning. Fourth if you counted the one during breakfast that he'd tried to hide behind a stack of financial reports."Short selling," Ben said, his voice strained but steady. "When someone bets that a stock will go down. They borrow shares, sell them at the current price, then buy them back later when the price drops. The difference is profit.""And someone's doing this to us.""Not someone. Everyone." Ben pulled up a holographic display—one of Haley's new toys, integrated into the building's systems during her overnight renovation of their infrastructure. "At midn

Chapter 286 :The Price of Borrowed Blood

The first werewolf died at 3:17 PM.His name was Marcus Forty-Seven, and he'd been one of the strongest of the clones—a natural leader who had taken to modern life with an enthusiasm that would have been heartwarming if it weren't also slightly terrifying. He'd been the first to successfully operate a smartphone. The first to order delivery pizza. The first to understand that the metal boxes with wheels were called "cars" and you weren't supposed to fight them.He collapsed in the middle of the Sterling Tower cafeteria, in front of two hundred of his brothers, and he was dead before he hit the ground.His body didn't just die. It disintegrated."It's happening faster than we thought," Thomas Sterling said, his face grim as he reviewed the biological data on his tablet. "The genetic degradation is accelerating. Whatever failsafe the Council built into them, it's designed to cascade. One death triggers stress hormones in the others, which acc

Chapter 287: Sorry, Your Life Balance Is Insufficient

Katherine was sitting up when Jack entered her room, which was either a very good sign or a very bad one."You look like hell," she said."You should see the other guy." Jack pulled a chair to her bedside, noting the way her new gold-flecked eyes tracked his movements with an intensity that hadn't been there before. "How are you feeling?""Like I got run over by a truck made of darkness, then the truck backed up and did it again for good measure." She flexed her fingers, watching the faint void patterns that now traced her veins. "But I'm alive. That's more than I expected.""You shouldn't have—""If you say 'shouldn't have volunteered,' I'm going to hit you with this IV stand." Katherine's voice was sharp, but there was warmth beneath it. "I made a choice. I stand by it. Now stop looking at me like I'm about to break and tell me what's happening with Ben."Jack was quiet for a moment. Then: "He's dying. For real this time.""Ho

Chapter 288 :Zero-Dollar Shopping in the Underworld

The abandoned City Hall station was, as Haley had promised, beautiful.Jack emerged from a maintenance shaft into a space that looked like it belonged in a museum, not buried beneath modern Manhattan. The curved platform stretched before him, its ornate tilework gleaming in the emergency lighting that the vampires had installed. Chandeliers hung from the arched ceiling, their crystals catching the light and scattering it into rainbow patterns across the walls."This is what they're protecting?" Katherine whispered. "It's gorgeous.""This is just the lobby." Jack moved forward, his void arm pulsing with anticipation. "The real prize is three hundred feet below us."Marcus Two brought up the rear, his enhanced senses sweeping the station for threats. The clone had changed since the transfusion—not just physically, but in the way he carried himself. There was a confidence now, a sense of purpose that hadn't been there before."I'm detecting movement ahead

Chapter 289: I Used to Be a Capitalist's Dog, Now I'm the Real Vampire Capitalist

The morning after you rob a vampire vault is, surprisingly, not that different from any other morning.The sun still rises. Coffee still brews. And somewhere in the depths of Sterling Tower, three thousand werewolves are still arguing about who gets to use the showers first.What's different is the sensation of having consumed a fourteen-hundred-year-old vampire and feeling his memories occasionally surface like bubbles in dark water.Jack sat in his office—fully restored now, thanks to Haley's tireless overnight repairs—and tried not to think about the fact that he now knew intimate details of Byzantine court politics and medieval Slavic blood rituals. The things you pick up when you eat ancient monsters."Boss." Haley's avatar appeared on his desk screen. "Ben's awake. He's... adjusting.""How bad?""He tried to bite the night nurse. Also, he reorganized the entire filing system by 'blood type' instead of 'alphabetically.' I don't think he

Chapter 290 :The Game Begins. First-Round Stakes: Your Parents

The thing that walked into Sterling Tower at 10:47 PM had no heartbeat.Jack could tell because the Maw was suddenly very interested—the way a cat becomes interested when it sees something it wants to eat. Whatever this visitor was, it triggered every predatory instinct the void entity possessed.It stood in the lobby, motionless, as Void Kindred guards surrounded it with barely concealed hostility. It was human-shaped, roughly, but wrapped entirely in ancient bandages that covered every inch of skin. No eyes were visible through the wrappings. No mouth. No features at all.And yet it watched. Waited. Knew exactly where Jack was before he entered the room."Jack Sterling." The voice came from somewhere inside the bandages, dry and papery, like pages being turned in a book that should have been burned centuries ago. "I bring greetings from the Council of Coils.""You're early.""Time is... flexible... for those who serve the Serpent." The bandaged

Chapter 291: The Price of Blood

The first representative from the Ouroboros arrived at 3 AM. Jack was still in the war room, reviewing the intelligence Haley had compiled on Duke Moreau's movements, when the building's proximity alarms went silent. Not triggered and then silenced. Just... silent. As if the sensors had decided they didn't want to report what they were seeing. "Boss." Haley's voice carried an edge of concern. "Something just entered the building. I can't track it." "Can't or won't?" "Can't. My sensors are... refusing to acknowledge its existence." A pause. "That's not supposed to be possible." Jack stood, his void arm pulsing with anticipation. The Maw stirred in his consciousness, curious rather than hungry. Whatever was approaching, it was old enough to interest even that ancient entity. "Katherine, Ben, with me. Valerius, keep the wolves ready but not visible." They descended to the lobby, where the night shift security wolves had formed a nervous perimeter around... nothing. Except there was
