The Fears Of A Billionaire

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: New Dawn of Manhattan

Chapter 135: New Dawn of Manhattan

The sun rose slowly over Manhattan, casting long shadows across the city. For the first time in months, Alyssa stood on the rooftop of the safehouse, watching the world stir awake. After the chaos they had just stopped, the normalcy felt surreal.

But there was no time to relax. There were more battles ahead, and they all knew it.

Downstairs, the rest of the team was already at work. Marcus was on a call with Interpol, arranging for The Architect's transfer to a high-security facility. Evelyn was reviewing files on her tablet, her mind spinning with new leads. And Eleanor was knee-deep in code, scouring the remnants of The Architect's network for clues.

Alyssa took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was coming. She knew it was far from over. The Architect might have been the face of the conspiracy, but they were not the only player.

Evelyn had called it right. The battle was only beginning.

"The Architect failed," a voice said from across the table. "They underestimated our enemies."

The figure gave a cold chuckle. "That was always the risk. But the plan remains intact. The Architect's failure doesn't change the course. The Collapse will happen. We'll just have to adjust the timeline."

Another figure leaned forward, their eyes gleaming in the shadows. "What about Clarke? She's still a problem."

The first figure waved dismissively. "Clarke is only a pawn. The real threats are the ones in her orbit Alyssa, Marcus, the rest of them. They need to be neutralized."

The second figure nodded. "And what about The Purge?"

"We proceed as planned," the first figure replied. "The Purge is inevitable. But first, we let them think they've won. Then we strike when they least expect it."

While currently,

Though Adrienne's defeat marked the end of one Chapter, the aftermath brought new tensions that Alyssa couldn't ignore.
