《My Rival Alpha Knows I'm an Omega》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

No one in the room moved.On the monitor, the helicopter settled onto the rooftop of Silverfang Tower.The rotor blades continued spinning, whipping rain across the landing pad.The woman stepped onto the roof with calm, measured confidence.She wasn't surrounded by bodyguards.She didn't carry a weapon.She simply stood there, her charcoal coat fluttering behind her as if she owned the storm.Dr. Nathaniel Dawson's hands began to tremble."It can't be..."Marcus looked from the screen to Dawson."You know her."Dawson swallowed."I buried her."The words hung in the room.Inspector Mara Voss frowned."You attended her funeral?""No."His voice cracked."I identified her body."Silence followed.Daniel slowly shook his head."Then either you were wrong..."He looked at the monitor."...or someone wanted you to be."The camera zoomed in automatically.The woman's face became clearer.She looked no older than her early fifties despite supposedly disappearing twenty-four years earlier.S

For several long seconds, I could only stare at the letter.If Evelyn Mercer says she came to save Genesis... she's lying. She came back to finish it.No signature.None was needed.I recognized Elias Mercer's handwriting from the documents recovered at Helix.He had written this knowing he might never deliver it himself.Marcus exhaled slowly."So Dr. Mercer isn't an ally.""No," Ronan said quietly."That's not what the letter says."I looked at him."You disagree?""I think Elias chose his words carefully."He pointed to the page."He didn't say she's our enemy.""He said she's lying.""About why she returned."There was a difference.A dangerous one.Inspector Mara Voss folded the letter and handed it back to me."Until we know more, this stays between us."Daniel nodded in agreement."If Hale learns you have that letter, everyone connected to Elias becomes another target."I slipped the paper inside my jacket.The tunnel suddenly felt colder."We're leaving," I said."No more dela

No one spoke.Marcus still stared at the phone in his hand as though it might suddenly explain itself."He wants to surrender."The words didn't fit.Arthur Hale had spent the entire night positioning himself to seize control of Silverfang.He had manipulated the board.Questioned my leadership.Appeared wherever chaos erupted.Men like Hale didn't surrender.They negotiated.They escaped.Or they won.Ronan held out his hand."Put him on speaker."Marcus nodded and accepted the call.The office filled with silence.Then—"Marcus."Arthur Hale's voice sounded calm.Almost tired."I assume Adrian is with you."I stepped closer."I'm here."A faint sigh came through the speaker."I was hoping you survived."I frowned."That's an unusual thing to say.""It has been an unusual night."Inspector Mara Voss quietly signaled one of her officers to begin tracing the call.The officer opened a laptop and started working.Hale continued before anyone interrupted."I imagine you've discovered Gen

The whisper refused to leave my mind.Don't trust Ronan.I kept walking.One step.Then another.The emergency stairwell echoed with our footsteps as we descended toward the shareholder vault.No one spoke for nearly a minute.Marcus wasn't with us.Inspector Voss had taken him to secure the boardroom records.Now it was only four of us.Ronan.Daniel.Mr. Rowan.Me.I could feel Ronan watching me.Not suspiciously.Patiently.Finally, he broke the silence."Someone said something."It wasn't a question.I looked at him."What makes you think that?""You looked at me differently."Daniel quietly glanced between us but wisely stayed silent.Mr. Rowan did the same.I considered lying.Instead..."Someone whispered."Ronan waited."They told me not to trust you."Silence.Not awkward.Heavy.Ronan didn't look offended.He almost looked... unsurprised."What did you tell them?""I didn't answer.""You should have."His response caught me off guard."What?""You should've asked why."I fro

The maintenance door exploded inward.Steel shrieked against concrete.Three masked figures poured into the room with military precision, weapons raised, moving like people who had rehearsed the assault dozens of times."There!" one of them shouted.The beam of his flashlight landed on me."Take Vale alive!"Alive.Not dead.That single order told me everything.I wasn't their target.I was their objective.Daniel fired first.The crack of his pistol echoed through the chamber, forcing the lead attacker behind the shattered doorway."Move!" he barked.Ronan didn't hesitate.He grabbed the edge of the hidden stone door and shoved it wider."Inside!"Mr. Rowan slipped through first.I followed, keeping one hand on the wooden box resting atop the stone table.Another burst of gunfire ripped across the room.A bullet struck the edge of the table, sending chips of ancient stone across the floor.Daniel retreated backward, firing one careful shot after another.He wasn't trying to win.He w
