Chapter 24 : Sovereign Static

Life, Crime

The Yoshimura advanced on Wada’s stronghold, the final server room of Project Black Trunk, buried beneath a ruined site and guarded by traps and fighters. Cutting through Keihin enforcers, security guards, and Men in Black, the strike team fought their way to the heart of the facility. There, at the server, they found the Host already waiting with the same intent. Tension thickened, but blades never crossed. Instead, the two sides struck an accord. Together they breached Wada’s firewalls, seized the data, and cast the corporation’s secrets into the public eye. As the files spread, press and scandal closed in, leaving Wada’s empire teetering on collapse.
