11.“A Manufactured War”

Episode 25 – "A Manufactured War"

Feynman's workshop.

The monitor flickered, displaying a message: Decryption complete.

"It's done."

He opened the file immediately.

At first, it was just strings of meaningless numbers and code.But once sorted, meaningful documents began to emerge.

Diplomatic reports.Military operation files.And then—

A top-secret mission log.

Feynman slowly began to read.

"…What the hell… This isn't just a battle report."

As he scrolled down, the contents grew more disturbing.

These weren't just tactical records—they were covert government communications.

One stood out:

[CLASSIFIED: LEVEL 1 SECURITY – Operation Red Eagles]

"Deploy our forces to incite conflict among local rebel factions.""Escalate the conflict to full-scale war to consolidate control over regional resources.""Disrupt internal power balance to realign it to our advantage.""If necessary, sacrifice allied units as strategic collateral."

Feynman's expression hardened.

"…They're insane."

With shaking hands, he opened another document:

[Internal Communication Log]

"Guardian Unit has infiltrated target zone as planned.""Should the operation be exposed, all traces must be eliminated.""Minimizing survivors, including Vincent Kang, is preferable."

Feynman felt a chill crawl down his spine.

This wasn't just war—it was a staged sacrifice.

Vincent's unit hadn't been mission executors—they were pawns in a greater game.

Their deaths had been preordained.

He took a deep breath and dialed Vincent.

📞 "Hey. It's worse than we thought."

Vincent's voice came calm.

"Talk."

Feynman stared at the screen.

"Your unit... was never meant to come back."

Silence.

Vincent's voice came again, emotionless.

"Evidence?"

"…It's all here."

Feynman continued:

"Your orders were altered. You thought you were there to eliminate targets. That was just a cover."

"The real objective was to escalate regional instability—trigger a war the government could control."

Vincent didn't reply.

"So… everything we fought for meant nothing?" he finally asked.

Feynman sighed.

"You survived—either by luck or because you broke from the plan."

"They didn't erase you just to betray you, Vincent. You were never supposed to exist."

Scene IV: Changing Priorities

"Vincent Kang – location unknown."

An urgent report surfaced inside the intelligence agency.

"Has the decrypted file reached him?"

Robert Cain read the update in silence, then smiled faintly.

"Good. Now the real game begins."

He rose from his seat.

"Vincent Kang... If you've broken free of my hand, it doesn't end the game—it reshapes it."

His eyes gleamed.

"You're no longer a fugitive. You're a threat to the entire system."

Episode 26 – "The Shackles of Justice"

Abandoned factory, outskirts of Harrison City.

Amid the rusted steel beams, Vincent stood with a hacked terminal in hand. It contained the coordinates of Cain's last known location.

But the government was faster than expected.

"Vincent Kang. Halt where you are."

A figure emerged from the shadows.

Nearly two meters tall.A body like a weapon.Eyes like steel.

Name: Isaac RedfieldOfficial government "hero"Enhanced combatant from military experimentsAn unshakable believer in order and law

His orders were clear: Do not kill Vincent Kang. Apprehend him.

Vincent lit a cigarette.

"So… who the hell are you?"

Isaac stepped forward.

"I am the hand of justice. Here to stop a terrorist like you."

Vincent: "Justice? You're just a well-dressed puppet."

Isaac: "You've committed murder. There must be consequences."

Vincent: "Consequences? Who wrote the laws you're so proud of?"

Isaac: "Laws exist to preserve order!"

Vincent: "Then why did your government throw us into war and discard us afterward?"

Isaac: "You chose that path. You must answer for it."

Vincent: "I never had a choice. Did you?"

Isaac's expression faltered.

Vincent stepped closer.

"You think you're protecting justice. But whose justice is it really?"

"You were protected. I never was. That's the real difference."

Isaac: "…I…"

Vincent: "You're a weapon of the system. Nothing more."

"Think, Isaac. Who are you really fighting for?"

Isaac clenched his fists.

"I… I have to arrest you."

But he didn't move.

Vincent stepped within arm's reach.

"Then arrest me. But if you do… will you still believe you're the just one?"

Silence.

Old memories flared in Isaac's mind.

He too had once stood where Vincent stood.

But he chose the system.Vincent rejected it.

Isaac couldn't strike.But helping Vincent would mean betrayal.

After a long pause, Isaac turned away.

"This ends here. For now."

He walked off into the dark.

"I don't know what I believe anymore. But we'll meet again."

Vincent smirked.

"Think hard about whose laws you're upholding."

Department of Defense – Internal Review

Isaac was officially reprimanded.Cain ordered full termination operations.

"Vincent Kang is now a threat to the system itself."

"No more mistakes."

Episode 27 – "The Hunt for Cain"

Feynman's rooftop setup.

His screen showed thousands of data points, all scrolling rapidly.

"The government tries to hide, but every lie leaves a pattern."

He whispered to Vincent via comms.

"I've buried plenty of people before. This is nothing."

Government interference, disinformation, fake trails—Feynman traced them all back.

Cain's location was narrowing.

Scene II: CIA and NSA Mobilize

Washington D.C. – Black site conference room

Protecting Cain wasn't just the intelligence agency's job anymore.

CIA. NSA. Even the military.

"He's dug too deep.""CIA's in.""NSA's tracking—but oddly…""He's moving faster than we can trace."

Vincent was now under every agency's watch.

The game became a race against time.

Secret Interrogation Room

Isaac sat across from an internal affairs agent.

"You didn't arrest him."

"Why?"

"Are you still loyal?"

Isaac answered coldly.

"I followed orders. But justice… is another matter."

The investigator leaned forward.

"Next time you see him—eliminate him."

"Or we'll eliminate you."

Isaac didn't answer.

But his fists said enough.

Mobile Command Vehicle

Cain reviewed files inside a reinforced SUV.

Specter sat beside him.

"He's after me."

Cain nodded.

"He already knows where I am. The question is when."

Specter replied, "We end this. He can't stay alive."

Cain smiled.

"Let him come."

City perimeter – designated zone

Feynman's voice came through the comms.

"Found him."

"Mobile unit, armored convoy, Specter in tow."

Vincent's eyes sharpened.

"Then it's time I go hunting."
