Chapter 71: The woman who shouldn't exist

The underground garage had gone completely silent.Even the Helios agents seemed uncertain now.Victor Hale stared at the woman standing in front of the armored truck.For the first time that night—His composure cracked.“…Cassandra.”The woman smiled faintly.“So you do remember me.”Elena glanced quickly at Rowan.“Who is she?”Rowan’s voice was low.“I don’t know.”Lucian’s eyes narrowed as he studied Victor’s reaction.“But he does.”Victor slowly stepped forward.His gaze had turned cold.“You died twenty years ago.”Cassandra tilted her head slightly.“That was the official story.”Isabella suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.Lucian looked at her immediately.“You know her.”Isabella whispered,“She was Victor’s younger sister.”Elena blinked in shock.“Another Hale?”Lucian muttered under his breath,“This family tree just keeps getting worse.”Victor’s voice hardened.“You were buried.”Cassandra shrugged casually.“Closed casket.”Lucian smirked.“That should have been suspi

Chapter 72: The weight of power

Silence swallowed the underground garage.Every phone screen still glowed with the same message.PRIMARY CONTROLLER IDENTIFIED: ELENA HALELucian slowly lowered his phone.“…Well.”He looked at Elena.“You just became one of the most powerful people on the planet.”Elena stared at the tablet in Cassandra’s hand.Her voice was barely audible.“I didn’t do anything.”Cassandra smiled calmly.“You existed.”Victor’s expression had turned deadly.“You manipulated the system.”Cassandra shrugged.“I protected it.”Rowan stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of Elena.“What exactly did she just activate?”Lucian answered before Cassandra could.“Helios isn’t just a network.”He lifted his phone again.“It’s a financial command system.”Rowan frowned.“Meaning?”Lucian looked at Elena.“Every hidden investment account inside Helios now answers to you.”Isabella whispered in shock,“That’s… impossible.”Lucian shook his head slowly.“No.”His voice dropped.“That’s hundreds of b

Chapter 73: The judge of Helios

“My name is Marcus Voss,” the man said calmly.He straightened his suit with quiet precision.“I represent the Helios Executive Council.”The garage felt colder somehow.Elena studied him.Marcus Voss didn’t look like a soldier or an enforcer.He looked like a banker.Quiet. Controlled. Dangerous in a way that didn’t need weapons.Lucian leaned closer to Rowan.“I don’t like him already.”Rowan didn’t answer.Marcus’s eyes moved across the group.Rowan.Lucian.Cassandra.Victor.Finally settling on Elena again.“You have activated the Helios master authorization.”Elena nodded slowly.“Yes.”Marcus spoke as if reading a report.“The system has recognized you as Primary Controller.”Victor folded his arms.“That’s a mistake.”Marcus didn’t even look at him.“The system does not make mistakes.”Lucian smiled faintly.“That’s debatable.”Marcus ignored the comment.He looked at Elena.“However… Helios operates under certain governance protocols.”Elena frowned slightly.“What kind of p

Chapter 74: Ten minutes to decide

The screen inside the armored truck flashed rapidly.Numbers collapsed in violent red waves.Billions.Then tens of billions.Entire investment structures were unraveling in real time.Elena’s pulse pounded in her ears.“You’re serious?” she asked quietly.Marcus Voss stood beside the screen, calm as ever.“Helios evaluations are never theoretical.”Lucian stepped closer to the display.“Okay… let’s see what we’re dealing with.”He scanned the data quickly.Then he let out a low whistle.“Oh this is ugly.”Rowan looked at him.“How bad?”Lucian rubbed his chin.“This network links pension funds across three continents.”He pointed to several flashing nodes.“If it collapses completely, retirement accounts for millions of people vanish.”Elena’s stomach tightened.Marcus added calmly,“The cascade failure has already begun.”Victor folded his arms.“Which means she’s already too late.”Cassandra shot him a sharp look.“You engineered this.”Victor smiled faintly.“I designed it as a c

Chapter 75: Breaking the rules

For a momentNo one spoke.The financial network on the screen shifted violently as new commands rippled through the Helios system.Marcus Voss stepped closer to the display.His calm expression finally showed a hint of curiosity.“You bypassed the preset protocols.”Lucian leaned forward.“No kidding.”He scanned the numbers moving across the screen.Then he suddenly laughed.“Oh wow.”Rowan looked at him.“What did she do?”Lucian turned the screen slightly so everyone could see.“Elena didn’t inject Helios funds.”He pointed at a set of new transactions appearing.“And she didn’t liquidate the Hale reserves either.”Victor’s voice was dangerously quiet.“Then what did she do?”Lucian looked at Elena with a mixture of shock and admiration.“She merged them.”Elena folded her arms calmly.“I redistributed the loss.”Marcus watched the system carefully.“Explain.”Elena pointed to the screen.“Instead of destroying one network to save another, I forced every major Helios account holde

Chapte 76: The enemies in the shadow

The garage slowly emptied after Marcus Voss left.But the tension remained thick in the air.Lucian rubbed the back of his neck.“Well.”He looked at Elena.“You passed the first test and accidentally declared war on half the world.”Elena sighed.“That wasn’t exactly the plan.”Rowan stepped closer to her.“You saved millions of people.”Victor gave a low, humorless chuckle.“And angered the people who believe money matters more than lives.”Cassandra’s expression was thoughtful.“Marcus wasn’t exaggerating.”Lucian frowned.“About what?”Cassandra looked at Elena.“The Helios partners.”Rowan crossed his arms.“How many are there?”Cassandra answered quietly,“Officially?”She paused.“Seven.”Lucian raised an eyebrow.“That doesn’t sound terrible.”Cassandra shook her head.“Each one controls financial networks bigger than most governments.”Lucian blinked.“Oh.”Victor spoke calmly.“You’ve just stolen influence from all of them.”Elena felt a chill run down her spine.“So they’r

Chapter 77: The man who built the game

No one spoke for several seconds.The name still hung in the air.Dominic Kade.Lucian broke the silence first.“…So the man who helped build Helios just invited Elena to dinner.”He looked around the group.“That’s either very polite… or very threatening.”Victor’s voice was cold.“It’s both.”Elena looked at him.“You know him?”Victor nodded slowly.“Yes.”Rowan frowned.“And?”Victor’s expression darkened.“Dominic Kade does not make invitations.”Lucian raised an eyebrow.“Then what does he make?”Victor answered simply.“Moves.”Cassandra stepped closer.“He shouldn’t have contacted Elena yet.”Lucian looked at her.“You sound surprised.”Cassandra folded her arms.“I thought the council would test her first.”Victor shook his head.“Kade doesn’t wait for permission.”Elena asked quietly,“Why does he want to meet me?”Victor’s eyes met hers.“Because you just interfered with a system he helped design.”Lucian added,“And redistributed billions of dollars belonging to people li

Chapter 78: Dinner with the Architect

The restaurant was quiet.Too quiet.It sat at the top floor of a glass tower overlooking the city, its lights reflecting across the dark river below. The entire dining room had been cleared except for one table near the window.Elena immediately noticed the detail.No customers.No waiters moving around.Only one man seated calmly at the table.Lucian whispered as they stepped inside.“Well… that’s not intimidating at all.”Rowan’s eyes scanned the room.Security was invisible—but definitely present.Elena could feel it.The man at the table stood slowly as they approached.Tall.Perfectly composed.His silver-streaked dark hair and sharp suit gave him the appearance of someone who had spent decades controlling rooms without raising his voice.His eyes rested on Elena.“You must be Controller Hale.”His voice was smooth.Measured.Elena stepped forward.“And you must be Dominic Kade.”He smiled faintly.“Please.”He gestured toward the table.“Sit.”Rowan pulled out a chair for Elen

Chapter 79: The woman who never loses

The ride back from the restaurant was silent.City lights slid across the car windows as the convoy moved through the empty streets.Elena stared out at the skyline, her thoughts turning over everything Dominic Kade had said.Across from her, Lucian finally broke the silence.“Well.”He rubbed his face.“That dinner was deeply unsettling.”Rowan sat beside Elena, watching her carefully.“What are you thinking?”Elena exhaled slowly.“That Dominic Kade wasn’t lying.”Lucian nodded.“Yeah, that part worries me.”Rowan frowned.“You believe him about the Helios system?”Elena nodded.“The partners created it to control each other.”She looked down briefly.“And now I’m sitting in the middle of that power structure.”Lucian leaned back in his seat.“Congratulations.”Rowan ignored him.“What about this Seraphina Drake?”Lucian let out a quiet groan.“Oh… she’s the part that really concerns me.”Elena looked at him.“You know her?”Lucian shook his head.“Not personally.”“But I know the

Chapter 80: The first thread

The room went completely silent.Elena felt the air leave her lungs.“Amara’s hospital records?” she repeated quietly.Adrian nodded.“Yes.”Rowan stepped forward immediately.“Was the access successful?”Adrian checked his phone again.“Attempted, but blocked.”Lucian exhaled slowly.“Well… that’s something.”Victor shook his head.“No.”Everyone looked at him.Victor’s voice was calm but grim.“That wasn’t the real objective.”Elena frowned.“Then what was?”Victor looked directly at her.“To confirm the weakness.”The words landed heavily in the room.Rowan’s jaw tightened.“She’s probing.”Cassandra nodded slowly.“Exactly.”Lucian rubbed his forehead.“So Seraphina just wanted to see if Amara mattered.”Elena’s voice dropped.“And now she knows.”No one argued.Rowan turned to Adrian.“Where is Amara right now?”“Private wing of St. Vincent Medical.”Lucian asked,“Security?”Adrian answered,“Two men outside her room.”Victor scoffed lightly.“That won’t stop Seraphina Drake.”
