Timelines. Names connected by lines. Financial structures sketched from overheard conversations. Board meeting outcomes noted with their implications. Pages that looked like a journalist’s notebook and a lawyer’s brief and a child’s diary all at once, the three registers mixing on every page in Noah’s precise careful handwriting. He had documented the entire Blackwood crisis.

"I'm on bed rest. Dr. Evans would kill me." "We'll do a video call," Noah said. "I'll wear an earpiece. You'll be on the line. You listen. You tell me if he's lying." "Okay," Aria said. "I can do that." Noah typed the response. I'll be there. But I'm bringing counsel. He hit send. Almost immediately, a calendar invite popped up on his screen. Meeting: West / Blackwood. Time: Tomorrow, 2:00 PM. Location: NeXus Boardroom (Neutral Ground).

"You'll be reviewing the new products today with the production team and a meeting with the finance team." "Also, you'll join the board meeting in the evening." "Is that all?" "No, Uhm... I heard that the Blackwood's empire would be fully coming back to New York very soon." Lena was stunned for a moment, she has heard a lot about the Blackwood's empire and how great and untouchable they are. "Do more research and find out when and where." Lena instructed carefully. "Yes Ma'am." Arianna replied. NIGHT: LENA'S MANSION

"The board meeting just received the Northcrest files, Scar. The meeting is in thirty minutes. Marcus is about to walk into an ambush he didn't see coming." I looked at the news feed. The stock ticker for Reed Global was already starting to dip. "Let it burn," I whispered.

Adrian Blackwood stood motionless in the center of his dimly lit study, the shattered remains of the whiskey glass still scattered across the floor like shards of his fracturing empire. The urgent report from his assistant hung in the air like smoke after an explosion. Northridge Development Project the crown jewel they had fought for over two years was gone. Signed over to Ethan Bright’s company in a swift, humiliating move. Three more major partners had followed within hours, citing “reputational risks” and “ethical alignment.” Stock prices for Blackwood Industries had plunged another 22% in after-hours trading.

Wails filled the air as a ray of light fell from the sky, hitting a mountain on the other side of town. I groaned, wincing as my hand was scorched by the flaming book. The pages settled, words in red appearing on the pages. "Strigoi, Nosferatu, Jiangshi…"

The way he could link her location to area traffic cams and business surveillance was both intriguing and terrifying. Wait… she’s… here? The glowing red dot is flashing right here in Blackwood. Minutes pass and it doesn’t move. She’s here but didn’t come up to see me? ‘Clingy much?’ Nero huffs, but even he sounds a little hurt. I don’t bother with a response, slamming the laptop shut and heading in that direction. The glow of the moon casts a yellowish haze over Blackwood.
