Chapter 67: A City in Chaos

Lauren had set up the war room in an abandoned high-rise. Digital screens flickered with intel—all of Lucian's remaining operations.

His lieutenants. His money. His hidden labs.

His power.

Shade scanned the map. "We hit them all. One by one."

Lauren hesitated. "Shade—if we do this, there's no going back."

Shade's eyes burned. "I know."

Jade leaned against the table. "And what happens when you've killed them all?"

Shade didn't blink. "Then I find something else to kill."

Jade's stomach twisted.

Because she knew then—

He wasn't just ending the Vultures.

He was becoming the Reckoning itself.
