The Phoenix Gambit
The destruction of the Black Codex marked a significant victory against the Obsidian Order, a shadowy organization that had infiltrated global markets and power structures for decades. Yet, for Jhon Gray, victory was never an end—only a turning point. The Order was weakened but not defeated, and he knew their retribution would come swiftly.
Standing in his penthouse office, the city's skyline spread before him, Jhon felt the weight of his position. His empire, a towering monument to his relentless ambition, was now a beacon for adversaries. He had no illusions about his situation. The Order, like a cornered beast, would strike with desperation and cunning.
The quiet hum of the city below belied the storm brewing on the horizon. For a moment, Jhon allowed himself to gaze at the shimmering lights, his thoughts racing. Victory breeds attention. Attention breeds danger.
