“The main reason is… he killed over three hundred people,” the soldier said, her voice trembling.
“Huh?” Meleonora uttered, a rare slip in composure.
“What are you talking about? Are you alright in your head?” Colson, the Director of the FBI, asked sharply, narrowing his eyes as if he had misheard.
Colson, dressed in a long black overcoat, looked every bit the serious and commanding figure he was known to be.
“Try again this time in simple language we can actually understand,” he said sternly.
“Yes, sir. I don’t have the full details, but based on what we’ve seen through satellite footage and nearby cameras, we’ve been able to piece together some of what happened,” the female soldier replied, her voice showing the strain of being under the intense scrutiny of the room’s top officials.
She looked visibly intimidated as all eyes focused on her, questioning and expectant.
“My team and I have been able to outline what we believe happened, though the full picture isn’t clear yet due to time constraints.”
“Alright. Tell me what you mean by slaughter,” Meleonora ordered, her gaze sharp and unrelenting.
“Yes, ma’am,” the soldier said, nodding quickly.
She tapped on her tablet again, causing the video on the LCD screen to change.
“Since there were no cameras inside the private rooms of the nightclub, we couldn’t capture what exactly happened there. However, based on what little footage we have and witness accounts, it seems the crowd fled in panic after the carnage began. But in the nightclub’s main hall, cameras were active, and through them, we managed to gather this.”
The soldier gestured to the screen as a new video began playing.
All the officials in the room turned their attention to the screen, watching intently.
The footage showed the main hall of the nightclub, eerily empty. Chairs and tables were overturned, hinting at the chaos that had unfolded.
“It looks like everyone ran away,” an officer commented from the side.
In the video, Lucian could be seen running, carrying Rose in his arms. His face was pale, his expression one of sheer panic and urgency. His clothes and body were soaked in blood.
The people in the room exchanged confused glances. Wasn’t Lucian supposed to have won the fight? Why did he look so desperate?
The soldier paused the video and explained, “From what my team and I speculated, Miss Rose, Lucian Kane’s sister, may have been shot in the back. We can’t confirm this since Lucian is covered in blood most likely from the people he fought. We couldn’t detect any visible injuries on Rose’s front, but based on her limp body, closed eyes, and Lucian’s terrified expression, we suspect she might have sustained a serious injury to her back.”
She paused briefly, collecting her thoughts. “He’s likely running to get her to a hospital.”
“Hm,” Meleonora hummed thoughtfully, signaling the soldier to continue.
The video resumed.
The camera angle shifted, showing Lucian exiting the nightclub and approaching a Jaguar parked outside. After a brief interaction with the driver, he placed Rose in the back seat.
The room remained silent, everyone watching the events unfold.
Then, the video showed something that made the officials’ expressions darken.
Large vehicles, including buses and SUVs, pulled up just outside the nightclub, stopping several hundred meters away from Lucian and the Jaguar.
From the vehicles, an armed crowd began to pour out men dressed in black, carrying heavy weapons.
“What the hell?” an officer muttered under his breath.
“This is ridiculous,” another whispered.
“The audacity of the Salvit family!” Colson snapped, slamming the table hard with his fist. “Do they think they’re above the law? Bringing a private army into public like this with weapons, no less?!”
“Sam,” Meleonora said sharply, turning to the Director of Police. “You will personally arrest the head of the Salvit family for this.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Sam replied, though his expression was grim. “But I don’t think it’ll change much. With their family background, they’ll likely find a way to sweep this under the rug.”
“I know,” Meleonora said through gritted teeth. “But they’ll have to pay heavy compensation for this. Mark my words.”
Her frustration was evident. Being unable to enforce absolute justice irritated her to no end. Yet, she understood the realities of power and influence. The government often had to tread carefully around powerful families to maintain peace and avoid greater disruptions.
Even at her level, there were limits to what could be done.
The video continued. The officials watched intently as Lucian stood near the Jaguar. The armed men from the buses began advancing toward him but stopped about 100 meters away.
Perhaps Lucian couldn’t see why the crowd stopped so far back, but the camera angles shifting between nearby surveillance cameras and satellite footage gave the officials a clearer picture. Some of the men from the back of the crowd quietly slipped into the nightclub, likely trying to retrieve Tony’s body and escape.
“That makes sense,” Colson said, his sharp eyes focused on the screen.
The video continued, showing Lucian speaking briefly with the Jaguar’s driver before the car sped away, presumably taking Rose to a hospital.
“That explains it,” Colson commented, and the female soldier nodded in agreement.
The footage then showed Lucian turning around instead of fleeing. He began walking toward the armed group.
“Hmph. I thought he might have some brains, but I guess he’s just a maniac,” Colson said, his interest in Lucian diminishing.
“I want capable agents who can control their emotions and assess situations not reckless, emotional freaks running purely on instinct. He’ll die,” Colson said matter-of-factly, his gaze fixed on the screen.
The footage revealed over 300 armed men standing in formation.
“You’re saying this boy will take down all 300-plus men armed to the teeth?” Colson asked, pointing at Lucian on the screen.

“Yes, sir… he will,” the female soldier replied, hesitating but certain. She had watched this footage repeatedly and knew it to be true.
“But how? How could he do that?” murmurs spread across the room, disbelief evident in everyone’s expressions.
Suddenly, the entire room went silent. The officials’ eyes widened in shock, and even Meleonora narrowed her gaze at the screen.
Out of nowhere, a black armor with silver linings began materializing on Lucian’s body. It started at his feet and slowly covered him entirely, from head to toe.
“What the… is that some kind of new technology I’m unaware of?” Colson muttered, leaning forward in his seat, his eyes glued to the screen.
“Could it be nanotechnology developed by Kane Industries?” Meleonora whispered to herself.
The thought of such advanced technology being kept a secret by the Kane family sent ripples through the minds of everyone in the room. These weren’t ordinary officials they were seasoned strategists and planners. The implications of what they were witnessing were staggering.
They couldn’t assess the armor’s defensive capabilities yet, but the way it materialized alone was groundbreaking. The potential uses were endless.
“I need information on this. It could be invaluable,” was the single thought running through each official’s mind.
The video continued, showing Lucian suddenly stopping and pulling out an M134 minigun seemingly out of thin air.
“What the fuck?!”
“Is this a joke?!”
Even curses slipped out from some of the officials in shock. Meleonora leaned back in her chair, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The weapon itself was already terrifying, but how it appeared out of nowhere was even more shocking.
“Could this also be a Kane family invention?” Meleonora thought, her mind racing. If so, the implications were enormous. If weapons and ammunition could be deployed this easily, wars could become as simple as flipping a switch. Soldiers could carry vast arsenals without any physical burden.
The room fell into a tense silence as they watched Lucian on the screen.
Everyone present knew the capabilities of an M134 minigun it could fire 6,000 bullets in a single minute. Against a dense crowd of 300 men, there was no chance of survival. The officials didn’t need an explanation to know what would happen next.
Lucian tapped the trigger.
The LCD screen was soon filled with flashes of red light as the bullets sprayed out at an incredible speed. Even though the video was muted, the sheer visual impact was enough to send chills through the room.
Each bullet left a red streak, almost like a laser beam, as it tore through the crowd. Blood sprayed everywhere, and bodies disintegrated under the relentless assault. The carnage was overwhelming.
The armed men tried to retaliate, firing back at Lucian. But to everyone’s shock, the bullets that hit him sparked harmlessly off the thin, black armor. Lucian didn’t even flinch.
“That armor… it’s completely bulletproof. And so thin,” someone muttered, their voice trembling.
“If the Kane family even has ten of those suits,” another began, “and gives them to experienced fighters, they could rival entire armies.”
“This… this is a one-man army,” a Colonel said, pointing at the screen with a trembling hand. His voice was filled with both fear and awe.
The officials watched as Lucian mowed down the armed men. Each second of the footage reinforced the terrifying efficiency of both the weapon and the armor.
