The Gift of Power

News spread quickly across San Track.

After Celin accepted Kate's invitation to handle elite missions, things began to change fast—but this time, not with blood, but with rewards.

The Green Bender Cult, once born out of pain and survival, was now being treated like a royal empire.

And Kate?

He made sure their loyalty was paid in full.

One early morning, trucks with blacked-out windows rolled into the Green Bender compound. Guarded by silent masked men, they opened the containers in front of Celin and Kelin.

Inside were:

Hundreds of bulletproof suits stitched with emerald-green fibers and the Green Bender logo on the chest.

Custom military-grade weapons: golden pistols, laser-guided rifles, and magnetic grenades.

Floating armored cars with anti-tracking shields and invisibility mode.

Tactical boots, helmets, and wrist tools loaded with communication jammers and live tracking scanners.

And in a glass case: a 24K golden medallion of the Green Bender symbol, meant only for Celin and Kelin.

Their names were engraved on the back.

"To Celin and Kelin — Founders. Brothers. Legends."

As the gang suited up in the new Green Bender gear, Celin stepped forward, now dressed in the full leader's uniform:

Black trench with green lining.

Gold-plated pistol on his hip.

The glowing Green Bender chain around his neck.

Kelin walked beside him, also armored and proud.

"You built this," Celin told Kelin.

"No," Kelin replied, "We did."

They stood in front of the full gang, now uniformed, fully armed, and fully united.

Celin raised his hand:

"From the dirt to the throne… we are no longer running.

We are ruling!"

The cult roared:

"GREEN BENDER FOR LIFE!"

Technology Upgrade

Thanks to years of underground earnings stored by Kelin in hidden accounts, the Green Benders also launched:

A new tracking center that watched over every inch of San Track and San Jamb.

Underground labs for tech upgrades, drones, and hacker defense tools.

A money laundering network so clean it even fooled the federal bank systems.

The cult was now more than a gang.

It was an empire.

But Behind the Scenes...

Kate watched from a private satellite feed.

"They're rising fast," he muttered.

"But they still don't know who's really running the board."

He picked up a red file labeled:

OPERATION: BENDER FALL

And smiled.
