The room fell silent.
Not because the fighting had stopped.
Not because the danger had passed.
But because Chairman Han stood before them.
Finally.
After months of lies.
Years of secrets.
Decades of bloodshed.
The man responsible for everything had stepped out of the shadows.
Smoke lingered in the air.
Gunfire echoed somewhere deeper in the estate.
Bodies lay scattered across the destroyed command center.
Broken glass covered the floor.
Red emergency lights flashed overhead.
Yet none of it mattered.
Because every eye remained fixed on Chairman Han.
The older man looked perfectly composed.
As though he hadn't just invaded a mountain fortress.
As though people weren't dying around him.
As though this was simply another business meeting.
"Aarya."
His gaze never left her.
