Chapter 57 Humiliation To The Face

• When Joe and I walked into Darius’s tech company, the low hum of servers and machinery immediately reminded me whose domain this was—a battlefield of innovation, money, and influence.
• Today, we were meeting Kim, his technical executive, to continue discussions on the AI low-altitude flight project. This wasn’t just another tech collaboration; it was a strategic initiative for the Pack’s border defense and rapid transport capabilities. If the aircraft could cruise safely at low altitudes, it could replace traditional patrols, delivering warriors and resources in the blink of an eye during conflict.
• Joe moved with his usual calm precision, blueprints and data files in hand. He was a natural engineer—methodical, rational, unshakable. Me? I felt like the Luna reluctantly placed on the negotiating table, a symbol rather than a participant.
