Sophia's team navigated the Shadow Syndicate's high-security facility, avoiding guards and traps. They finally reached Ryker's office, where the Syndicate's leader awaited.
Ryker's smile was cold, calculated. "Welcome, Sophia. I've been expecting you.
Sophia's eyes locked onto Ryker. "You're behind the Amazon's destruction. Why?"
Ryker leaned back in his chair. "The Amazon holds secrets, ancient technology that will change the world. And with the Heart of Zerzura, I'll control it all."
Kael's sword flashed, but Ryker's guards intervened, surrounding them.
Aria's voice urgent. "We need to get out of here, now!"
Dr. Lee's eyes locked onto Ryker. "You'll never get away with this. The world will stop you."
Ryker's laughter echoed. "The world will bow to me. And you, Sophia, will be the key to my victory."
Suddenly, Erebus appeared, taking down Ryker's guards. "Time to leave. Arkeia's forces are closing in."
