The world's power centers were unraveling.
In the marble halls of the Chamber of Commerce, old sentinels—the titans of industry and politics—were being arrested live on national broadcast. Corruption charges, espionage, deep ties to NullSyntax and the Rothschild shadow network.
The FBI, stretched thin and reeling, was losing control.
NullSyntax's lair
Monitors flashed the chaos like a digital symphony.
NullSyntax grinned, fingers twitching over the keyboard.
"They think this will stop me?""When the old kings fall, the new god rises."
Kodi — Somewhere in a distant city
The news played on a cracked screen.
His heart tightened.
For two years, he'd buried the past beneath hacks, codes, and battles.
But now?
His mom. His brother.
Were in the crosshairs.
Kodi's family home — first time in two years
The door creaked open.
Dust lay thick.
Everything looked untouched, frozen in time.
Until his eyes caught a stark white notice taped to the fridge:
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONURGENT NOTICEIf you want the safety of your family, turn yourself in immediately.Failure to comply will result in direct action.
His blood ran cold.
Kodi sank against the wall, fists clenched.
He thought he could run from this life.
But now, the fight was here.
And the stakes?Higher than ever.
