It had been nearly five years since Lina Chen disappeared.
Then, one morning, the dark web lit up.
Kai Ren had placed a $10 million bounty on one name:
Lina Chen — Alive Only.
No backstory. No explanation. Just a name... and a fortune.
And the criminal world panicked.
Who was she?
Why was someone paying that much for a missing girl?
Was she an informant? A spy? The daughter of a cartel lord?
Speculation flooded the channels.
Some feared she held information that could bury entire syndicates.
Others thought she was a ghost, a setup. A trap.
Even Jin Chen, now deep within anti-trafficking units, caught the alert. He froze when he saw the name.
Lina Chen.
His sister.
It had been years. Years of silence. Years of no trace. Now, suddenly, she was the center of the entire underworld's attention.
He began digging.
So did Kai Ren.
But hours passed—and no one could trace where the bounty came from. Even Kai's own network of hackers hit walls. Dead ends. Encrypted trails that led nowhere.
So Kai Ren did what no one expected.
He raised the bounty.
To $100 million.
And with that… came the storm.
