The black vehicle disappeared into the darkness before Lucas could see who was inside.He stood beside the abandoned airport, staring at the empty road.Alexander Morgan.For twelve years, that name had barely existed in Lucas's life.He had known he had a cousin, but the Morgan family had always kept Alexander away from the main family circle. Alexander rarely appeared at family gatherings, rarely attended public events, and almost never stayed at the Morgan estate.Now Lucas understood why.Alexander had been living in the shadows.And apparently, he had been watching Lucas for years.Xavier approached.“Milord.”Lucas turned.“Report.”“The vehicle escaped.”“Who was driving?”“We couldn't identify him.”“Where did it go?”“North.”Lucas looked toward the road.“Follow it?”“Our people tried. The vehicle disappe

The doors slammed shut behind Lucas.CLICK.The entire hall went silent.Alexander stood at the far end, surrounded by members of the Crown Circle.Stella was behind him.Lucas's eyes immediately moved across the room.Fourteen men.Six women.Armed security around the balconies.Two exits.Both locked.Cameras everywhere.Lucas smiled.Alexander noticed.“You're smiling?”Lucas loosened his jacket.“I was just counting.”“Counting what?”“Enemies.”Alexander laughed.“You still think you're in control?”Lucas looked at Stella.“Are you hurt?”“No.”“Good.”Alexander stepped forward.“You should be more worried about yourself.”Lucas looked at him.“I'm not.”Alexander's expression hardened.“Take him.”Four

The streets of Hilton City were unusually quiet.It was nearly two in the morning, yet the city that normally never slept seemed to be holding its breath.Lucas sat in the back of the vehicle, staring through the window.The conversation with the mysterious man kept replaying in his mind.You're not chasing me. I'm leading you.Then the final message:THE REAL ENEMY IS ALREADY INSIDE YOUR FAMILY.Lucas locked his phone.Across from him, Alexander remained silent.His hands were still restrained, and two security men sat on either side of him.Stella sat beside Lucas.She had barely spoken since they returned.Finally, she broke the silence.“Lucas.”He turned.“Yes?”“Are you sure you're okay?”Lucas gave her a small smile.“I'm fine.”“You've been quiet.”“I'm thinking.”“About Alexander?”

The elevator doors opened.Lucas stepped inside.Xavier's voice continued through the earpiece.“Milord, the attacks are spreading.”“Give me the locations.”“Hilton Financial Center. Morgan Tower. Two private warehouses. Three clubs. And the eastern shipping terminal.”Lucas's expression hardened.“How many attackers?”“Unknown. They're using several groups.”“Civilians?”“We're evacuating them.”“Good.”Lucas pressed the button.“Keep the civilians out of it.”“Yes, Milord.”The elevator began rising.President Vale remained behind in the underground chamber.He watched Lucas disappear.His expression was troubled.He knew something was coming.Something Hilton City had never seen before.The doors opened.Lucas stepped into the main building.The moment he exited, several sold

The rain continued to fall over Blackwood Estate.Lucas stood beneath the broken roof of the old mansion, holding the silver pendant he had found on the dead man's body.The Morgan family crest was engraved on one side.On the other side were three letters.R.M.Lucas stared at them.“R.M.”Xavier stepped closer.“Do you recognize them?”“No.”Lucas turned the pendant over again.“But somebody expected me to.”Xavier looked toward the forest.“The sniper and the other man were working together.”“I know.”“They wanted the man dead before he could speak.”Lucas nodded.“And that means he knew something important.”Xavier looked at the notebook.“What about your grandfather's warning?”Lucas opened it again.The old handwriting remained clear.THE PERSON WHO CAUSED THE CRASH IS NOT THE PERS
