Chapter 16: The Offensive Strike
The team gathered in a dimly lit room, maps and documents scattered across the table.
Elara's eyes were fierce.
"This is it," she declared. "We hit their core — the financial hub that keeps Roth Industries alive."
Aaron tapped a spot on the map. "Security is tight, but we have a small window."
Dominic checked his phone. "Phantom Veil has begun the cyber attack. They're ready to freeze their assets."
Night fell.
Elara, Aaron, and Dominic moved like shadows toward the Roth tower.
Every step felt heavy with danger.
At the security gate, Dominic hacked the system.
"Five minutes," he whispered.
Inside, Elara's heart pounded as alarms threatened to blare.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed.
"Freeze!" a guard shouted.
Elara froze, then darted into a side corridor.
Aaron followed, guns drawn.
In the chaos, Elara found the server room.
She began downloading critical files.
"Come on…" she murmured.
The door burst open.
Dominic shielded her as they fought off attackers.
Seconds felt like hours.
Finally, the download completed.
Back at the safehouse, the files revealed shocking truths — illegal deals, bribery, and corruption reaching the highest levels.
Elara's resolve hardened.
"This is the proof we need," she said.
Aaron nodded. "Now the world will see."
But just as victory seemed close, a new message arrived.
"You're closer than you think, Ms. Hart. Watch your back."
Elara stared at the screen, eyes burning.
The game was far from over.
