Chapter 93 - Chapter Ninety-Three — The First to Fall

Location: The Morning After the Summit – Geneva Global Exchange

Caspian Wren, a tech king and known legacy tyrant, mocked Damon during the summit:

"Children shouldn't play with war chests they didn't build."

He laughed.

Others laughed too.

But Damon didn't respond.

Not with words.

Not that night.

Narration – The Message Was Clear

He didn't yell.

Didn't threaten.

He simply erased a man from the game.

And the rest of the elite?

They understood.

"This one doesn't bluff.

He delivers."

Meanwhile – Nova Visits the Dragon

Damon's private estate, newly built just outside the university, shimmered like a crown under fog.

Nova stood at the gate.

Alone.

A guard stopped her.

She showed a card — the black coin Damon once gave her.

The gate opened.

No words.

Only permission.

She walked into his private garden — and there he was.

Sitting. Calm. Reading.

He looked up once.

Didn't speak.

She did.

"I don't care what name you use now.

Or who you've become.

But if I stand beside you again…

will you still be you underneath all that?"

Damon looked at her for a long, long moment.

"I'm not the man you remember," he said.

"But I remember everything.

Especially you."

System Update – New Weapon Unlocked

Weapon Acquired: Sovereign Claim Module

→ Grants Damon the ability to legally bind and collapse enemies' assets using global debt, inheritance laws, and forgotten clauses

Effect: "You don't fight your enemies.

You buy the ground beneath their feet and watch them fall."

Final Scene – The Elite React

Three old-world families pull their heirs from St. Monarch.

A fourth moves to align with Dracas Group directly.

And in a shadowed penthouse, Damon's stepmother watches news coverage of Wren's collapse.

She says just three words:

"We waited too long."
