Everyone in the group chat was already hyped up, so when Nasir asked a question, they happily flooded him with answers. Within minutes, the chat exploded with dozens of messages–all about Chronos Legal.

Curious but skeptical, Nasir scrolled through the thread. By the time he finished reading, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his throat.

The second time, a chill ran down his spine as he realized he had already been blocked.

On the other end of the internet, Layne was barking orders at his staff. “Delete him. Now. Wipe everything.”

Once Nasir’s contacts had been fully blacklisted, Layne collapsed onto the couch like a man who had barely escaped death, face pale and drenched in relief.
