Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The Collapse

UNDERGROUND FACTORY — COMMAND CENTER

Red alarms screamed, casting eerie glows over steel walls. The Council's command center, once a symbol of unshakable power, was now a battlefield.

Su Chen stood at the core terminal, fingers flying over the keyboard as the virus upload bar inched forward — taunting the Council with the inevitability of their downfall.

THE GUARDS CLOSE IN

Heavy footsteps thundered. Guards poured through the entrance like a tidal wave.

"Stop him!" one barked, voice raw with desperation.

But Su Chen was already a shadow — a blur weaving between bullets, dodging with supernatural grace.

Ghost Step active.

Every movement precise, every strike calculated.

CHEN LIANG'S LAST BET

From the shadows, Chen Liang appeared — calm, collected, the very image of control.

"You can't break us, Su Chen."

"You underestimate what I've lost."

Su Chen's voice was cold, razor-sharp.

"I've lost everything. That's why I win."

They clashed — steel against steel, wills against wills.

THE VIRUS SPREADS

On the screen, the progress bar reached 100%.

Council systems flickered — defenses crashed, secrets leaked, alliances shattered in real-time.

YUE LIN'S CHOICE

Suddenly, Yue Lin's voice echoed through the comm-link.

"Su Chen... if you want to end this, stop."

Conflicted, Su Chen hesitated — the past clawing back.

But Chen Liang smiled cruelly.

"She's your weakness."

THE TRUTH REVEALED

Suddenly, the system flashed a hidden message:

"Yue Lin's memories have been manipulated. The real traitor lies elsewhere."

Su Chen's eyes widened.

"Then who?"

ENDING SCENE

As the Council's empire crumbled, a new shadow emerged behind the scenes — watching, waiting.

"This war... is far from over."
