In a luxurious penthouse overlooking the harbor, silence filled the room.
Viktor Kade stood beside the window.
The city lights reflected in the glass.
His face remained calm.
But the tension in the room was suffocating.
A terrified executive knelt on the floor nearby.
"The servers collapsed… everything was exposed…"
Viktor slowly sipped his whiskey.
"And who did this?"
The man swallowed nervously.
"A hacker known as Dark Nexus."
The glass stopped halfway to Viktor's lips.
For several seconds, he said nothing.
Then he chuckled softly.
"Dark Nexus…"
He set the glass down carefully.
"Interesting name."
His eyes turned cold.
"No one touches my empire without consequences."
The kneeling executive trembled.
Viktor walked toward him slowly.
"Do you know what I hate most?"
The man shook his head quickly.
"Cowards."
Viktor's voice was calm.
"People who hide behind masks."
Without warning
A gunshot echoed through the penthouse.
The body collapsed to the floor.
Viktor calmly reloaded the pistol.
Then turned to his assistant.
"Start the search."
His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper.
"I want to know everything about Dark Nexus."
"Every rumor."
"Every trace."
"Every possible identity."
His eyes darkened.
"And when we find them…"
He smiled slightly.
"We make an example."
