The Morgan command chamber was hidden beneath the oldest section of the estate.Lucas stood before the massive steel door.The symbol of the Morgan family was carved into its surface.Xavier approached.“Milord.”Lucas nodded.“Open it.”The door required three separate authorizations.Crown-01.Crown-04.And Morgan Bloodline Verification.Lucas placed his hand against the scanner.The machine activated.IDENTITY CONFIRMED.LUCAS MORGAN.The door opened.Inside was a circular chamber filled with old computers and physical records.At the center stood a large table.Lucas walked toward it.A single document waited there.He picked it up.The title read:MORGAN INTERNAL SECURITY — FINAL THREAT ASSESSMENT.Lucas opened it.The first page contained several names.Ri

The sun was beginning to rise over Hilton City.For the first time in years, the city woke up without knowing how close it had come to destruction.The final battle was over.Black Crown had fallen.Lucas stood inside the command room of the northern facility, staring through the glass window as the first rays of sunlight touched the distant buildings.Behind him, Xavier walked into the room.“Milord.”Lucas turned slowly.“Report.”Xavier placed a tablet on the table.“The remaining Black Crown cells have surrendered.

The morning arrived quietly.Hilton City woke beneath a clear blue sky.The wedding venue was surrounded by flowers and soft lights.Guests began arriving early.Malcolm and Ben were already arguing near the entrance.“You're wearing your tie wrong,” Malcolm said.Ben looked down.“It looks fine.”“It doesn't.”Felicia walked past them.“Both of you are impossible.”They laughed.Emily arrived shortly afterward.She looked around the venue and smiled.She remembered Lucas as the struggling student who barely had enough money for food.Today, he was standing at the beginning of a completely different life.She whispered to herself:“You made it.”Daisy arrived wearing an elegant dress.She looked at the decorations.“This is beautiful.”Felicia smiled.“You helped organize half of it.”
