Benjamin had mentioned his off-market liquidity pools and private security networks before his executive composure disintegrated, but we had no mainframes here. We had no access. If there was anything left of his shadow infrastructure—some forgotten line of capital, a hidden account, or an old logistics logbook that could buy him a path back onto his suspended board—it had to be buried somewhere in this abandoned industrial tomb. This was the place where he kept the historical bones of his company.

"What do you know of that?" "The well there is fed by an underground river that runs through the Sunken City of Lytheria," the Remnant said. "For months, the water has been tasting of salt and despair. Your people have been having nightmares. Waking up screaming, remembering drownings that never happened to them. Yes?" Valeria’s face paled slightly. "How could you know that?"

And now is the time to face reality. Every day that passed, everything they had kept to themselves will hurt them. ♥.......♥ Raymond walked to his room and locked his door. He sat on his bed and picked up his Laptop from his desk to search for something. When he did, he realized that His parents had once walked with Mark Robert and a certain Sprill... He crumpled his brows and went further to know the business they were working. He realized that information was unreachable, and that part of the site had wrong spellings.

The sounds drifted closer with alarming speed. For a brief, desperate moment, she thought about New York. She thought about crowded sidewalks and yellow taxis, about rain collecting in potholes along the streets of Manhattan, about late-night diners and music spilling from rooftop bars. She thought about the version of herself who had existed there-a woman who drove too fast, laughed too loudly, and believed that her future belonged to her. That version of Meera felt impossibly distant now. The memory nearly distracted her long enough to miss the rock hidden beneath the sand.

Chapter 165: The Sluice of Sorrows The air within the southern catacombs was cold, damp, and thick with the smell of stagnant water and old lime. For three hours, Natalia led her makeshift vanguard through the forgotten, subterranean arteries of Oakhaven, guiding them beneath the city walls and out toward the southern riverbank.

Snow covered the whole world in cold white. I laughed, and tears fell with the laughter. But Joanna, I would not live to see three months from now. I was going to die in this winter.

Never once had she imagined burying her instead. Olivia hugged Lily’s favorite teddy bear tightly against her chest while the child’s drawing book rested quietly beside the grave. With shaking hands and swollen red eyes, she picked up the book and slowly flipped through the pages one after another.

She slowly pieced the words together. "Maybe if Lily wasn’t with mummy, daddy would love her like he used to before I was born"

The silence that followed was almost reverent. Kira added one more thing. “There’s a site. Not on any old map. A deep-archive artifact buried in the Event Trench. Coordinates are embedded in the signal, but only if you know how to listen for them.” Callum sighed. “And you already decoded them, didn’t you?” She grinned. “Pack warm. You’re heading below sea level.” The trench was a scar on the world. A place where tectonic memory curled into itself, hiding things no satellite dared stare at for long. The descent took hours. Layers of pressure closed around us like fists. Lights flickered. Hull integrity held, barely.

Bubbles squinted and giggled. Then, Alex found himself sinking deeper and deeper. It seemed like there was no bottom to this swamp. *** On the land above, once the people saw Alex jumping into the swamp with his daughter and disappearing underneath, they hesitated for a moment, unsure if they should chase after him.
