Avery sat by the bed for another ten minutes. Only after Dorothea’s soft, rhythmic breathing signaled deep sleep did she finally lie down, curling her body protectively around the small girl.

Moonlight sliced through the gap in the curtains, casting a cold, silver light across the room. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught it—a tiny, faint red pulse flickering from within the decorative molding facing the foot of the bed.

Avery’s fingers tightened.

A camera.

Dominic’s eyes were everywhere.

    The system's cold, mechanical voice sliced through the silence like a blade, announcing a blood-red shipping record:【Origin: Clare Laboratory, Obsidian City. Destination: Diamond City Core District. Cargo Description: First-Generation Core Subject. Recipient Code — "D".】Avery's breath caught sharply at the sight of that glaring letter "D". Her vision tunneled, the single character burning into her retinas like a brand. The letters seemed to pulse in the blue light, growing larger, more insistent, until they filled her entire field of view.Seven years ago, even before the Clare Laboratory had been consumed by fire, someone had already used Kessler's transport routes to move the core experimental subject out of the city. The Winster family had never possessed the clearance for cross-city heavy rail access at that time. The true hand behind her parents' deaths was far more terrifying than Margaret Winster.Avery's fingers trembled as she reached out

    The car raced through the downpour, the sound of tires slicing through standing water mingling with the drumming rain on the roof. The steady, rhythmic hiss filled the cabin with a muffled roar that only seemed to deepen the silence within.The rear seat had fallen into a prolonged, heavy silence. The cabin was dim, lit only by the blurred streetlights passing outside, their intermittent glow casting shifting patterns of light and shadow between them. The world beyond the windows was nothing but streaks of gold and darkness, the city reduced to a smeared watercolor painting.Avery stared out the window. Droplets of rain streaked across the glass, racing backward, reflecting the tense line of her lower lip. This was their first real meeting in over forty days. Forty days of separation, of silence, of wondering. Now, sitting together in this enclosed space, the air around them had grown thick and heavy, pressing down on her chest until it was hard to breathe. Every shall

    **BOOM——!!**A deafening explosion erupted without warning overhead. The entire underground vault shook violently, the tremor rattling through the walls and floor. Dust and debris rained down from above, scattering across the concrete. Avery quickly covered her head with both arms and pressed herself flat against the wall, crouching low as fragments of ceiling tile clattered around her feet.From the direction of the sealed elevator shaft, a piercing screech of tearing metal burst through the air.The blast door had been blown open from the outside, leaving a jagged, gaping breach. Twisted shards of alloy lay scattered across the floor, their edges still sharp and smoking in the dim light. A rush of cooler air swept through the opening, cutting through the smoke and dust.Through the swirling clouds of dust, Avery raised her hand to shield her eyes. Figures emerged from the haze—a full squad of black-clad operatives filing in with practi

    The elevator plunged downward at breakneck speed, the metal cabin groaning softly as it cut through the earth. The descent felt endless, each second stretching into an eternity of silence. The only sounds were the faint hum of the machinery and Margaret's ragged, labored breathing—each exhale heavy with barely suppressed fury.Avery kept her hands in her pockets, her gaze fixed on the descending floor numbers as they flickered past in rapid succession. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Margaret's temples, veins bulging with barely contained rage. A silent, cold smirk flickered across her lips. The woman's composure was cracking, and Avery was enjoying every second of it.Ding.As the elevator doors slid open, a wave of stale, frigid air, tinged with the faint, metallic scent of machine oil, rushed out to meet her. The cold hit her exposed skin like a slap, raising goosebumps along her arms and the back of her neck. The temperature here

    She didn't bother with the ordinary wards. She bypassed them entirely and went straight to the central medication preparation room at the core of the sanatorium—the nerve center where all critical drug protocols were managed and monitored.Margaret was arriving the day after tomorrow? No. Two days was too long to wait. Dominic was barely holding on. Every hour that passed was another hour of suffering for him. Julian couldn't afford to wait either. His condition was fragile, and the clock was ticking. She needed to cut through the knot with one swift stroke.She didn't want to wait. She would force the timeline forward herself.Avery locked the medication room door behind her and pulled up old Winster's real-time monitoring records. The screens glowed to life, displaying a cascade of vital signs, neurological readings, and medication schedules. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, moving with practiced precision. Using her chief consultant privileges, she

    The half-hour ultimatum had been delivered. What remained now was the internal power struggle and negotiation among the factions within the conglomerate—the desperate scrambling of executives who had been caught off guard, the frantic phone calls to lawyers and fixers, the hushed arguments behind closed doors about how much they could afford to concede. Avery pulled the heavy alloy door of the consultation hall shut behind her and stepped out alone to clear her head. The air in the corridor was cooler, carrying the faint scent of antiseptic and something metallic.The corridors of the Heinrich Sanatorium stretched deep and long, winding through the mountain like veins through a body. The afternoon sun filtered through the clouds that had gathered after the storm, casting broad patches of shadow across the polished floor. The light shifted with the clouds, creating a dance of shadow and gold that moved across the walls like something alive.As she rounded a corner

    The heavy wooden door clicked shut, leaving behind a faint, chilly draft from the corridor.Only after Drake had exited and the surrounding air collapsed back into a dead silence did Avery finally venture to poke her head out from beneath the heavy duvet. The flush on her cheeks hadn’t fully faded,

    Dominic’s hand, which had been ruffling Dorothea’s hair, froze completely mid-air.The flawless, untouchable image of the sovereign of Obsidian City collapsed instantly under a six-year-old girl’s flawless, unprompted cross-examination. Avery watched the fleeting look of astonishment and sheer awkw

    The piano music was soft, but the daylight flooding through the floor-to-ceiling windows was blinding.On the top floor of the Kessler Hotel, Sophia sat in a booth near the glass. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Avery approaching, but just as she raised her hand to wave, her arm froze i

    In the hallway, Dominic stood silently at the threshold of the pink bedroom, holding a cup of black coffee. The morning light slanted through the tall windows, catching the gold cufflinks at his wrists.His hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a dark three-piece suit with his tie meticulously kno
