Metropolis had always been a city of shadows, where light fought a losing battle against corruption. Elias Graves had spent years exposing the rot beneath its gilded skyline, peeling back layers of deception with lines of code and unbreakable ideals. He had seen politicians lie, corporations launder blood money, and crime lords shape laws in their favor.And through it all, one name loomed above the rest. Nyx She wasn’t a rumor. She wasn’t a myth. She was Metropolis itself.Her empire, NyxTech, was more than a cybersecurity firm—it was the city’s nervous system, ensuring every secret, every transaction, every untold truth stayed under her control.Elias had fought her for years. He had infiltrated her networks, unraveled her encrypted secrets, and led an underground resistance that sought to tear her reign apart. But she always won. Every time.And now, as the rebels launched their final assault against NyxTech’s headquarters, Elias prepared for one last stand.
The plan was simple: breach the central control hub, dismantle her empire from the inside, and watch her fall.Only, Nyx was waiting for him.She didn’t fight in the shadows tonight.No deception. No illusions.Nyx stood before him, her dark suit crisp, her expression unreadable, the glowing city skyline behind her like a throne of neon light.“You’re late,” she murmured.Elias leveled his gun at her, heart hammering. “This ends now.”Her smirk was maddeningly calm. “Does it?”Then, with a single tap on her wrist console, every screen in the command center blinked to life.And Elias saw the truth.Outside, in the streets of Metropolis, the rebels were winning. Their final strike was pushing through the last defenses.But that wasn’t victory.It was chaos.Bank networks failing. Infrastructure collapsing. Power grids going offline.The rich wouldn’t suffer.The innocent would.His rebels weren’t freeing the city.They were destroying it.Elias froze.And in that moment, Nyx tilted her head, studying him. “Do you see it now?” she whispered. “The difference between you and me?”He did.And he hated it.But hating something didn’t make it untrue.
