Zhenyu's Gift — A Weapon with No Equal
In a secured Beijing lab, she unveiled it:
"The Crimson Orchid."
→ A palm-sized drone swarm core that can launch 400 micro-weapons in 8 seconds
– Silent
– Undetectable by standard radar
– Banned by every major military treaty on Earth
"This doesn't just win wars," she said.
"It ends names."
Damon stared at the crimson-lit device.
Then smiled.
"We'll name this one after you."
St. Monarch — Return to Power
Damon announced The Sovereign Gala.
A masked, invite-only black-tie event hosted across the upper five floors of Phantom Tower
– Guests include CEOs, foreign diplomats, elite students, and underworld power players
– System-integrated security: any threat = silent removal in under 4 seconds
– Theme: Heaven, Hunger, and Blood
The campus lit up with whispers.
No one said it out loud…
But everyone knew:
"You don't attend Phantom's gala.
You survive it."
System Update – Infiltration Warning
A classified U.S. agency has deployed an embedded operative into St. Monarch's elite business program.
Name: "Unknown. Codename: Cipher."
Target: Damon Black
Tactic: Social manipulation. Psychological destabilization. Identity cloaking.
ARCHAIOS Recommendation:
"Begin silent purge protocol.
Let's remove the mask before they get too close."
Final Scene — SkySeraph at Midnight
Damon stood at the edge of the cruiser's obsidian platform, watching the city glitter below.
Zhenyu stood beside him. Quiet. Radiant. Armed.
Arielle messaged. Sasha checked in from a secure location. Nova was preparing her new territory.
But Damon?
He lit a cigar. Eyes hard.
"It's time we take the next piece of the world."
ARCHAIOS echoed:
"Then let it be known:
The sky no longer holds stars.
It holds your flame."
