THE STONE OF JUDGMENT: THE EMPIRE'S COLLAPSE

THE STONE OF JUDGMENT: THE EMPIRE'S COLLAPSE (Part 2)

The room, illuminated only by the rhythmic, strobe-like flashes of lightning from the storm outside, turned deathly still. The cast, which had been set by the billionaire’s own private surgeons to "stabilize" his injury after a convenient accident, shattered like porcelain. As the last fragments fell to the floor, they didn't reveal a broken bone. They revealed a hidden compartment, meticulously carved into the synthetic shell, containing a micro-SD card and a set of encrypted documents sealed in wax.

The billionaire, Arthur Sterling, pulled himself up in the hospital bed, his face drained of all color. His hands, usually steady when signing billion-dollar acquisition deals, clawed at the bedsheets in a fit of desperate, unadulterated fear.

—How... —he wheezed, his voice barely a rattle—. You were supposed to be in the wreckage. That crash was supposed to bury you.
