Short filmTranscript
00:04My sister and I saved the Alpha of Blackwood Pack.
00:08He offered us a reward, $30 million or marrying his only son.
00:14His son was a mystery.
00:16He had never appeared in public, and rumors said he was hideously ugly and impotent.
00:22My sister begged me to marry him, but she didn't know that the Alpha aired was actually the hottest guy
00:28on campus,
00:28the captain of the hockey team.
00:31After we got married, he was always thoughtful and caring.
00:34He showered me with expensive jewelry and all kinds of luxury gifts.
00:37Meanwhile, my sister gambled away her $30 million at casinos.
00:41When she couldn't pay off her debts, her creditors slashed her face with a silver blade.
00:46She blamed it on me.
00:48Then she pushed me off a rooftop.
00:51But she lost her balance and fell with me.
00:53When I opened my eyes again, we were both back on the day we saved the Alpha.
00:59This time, my sister jumped in before I could speak and chose the Alpha heir.
01:03I smiled.
01:04$30 million was way better than spending the rest of my life with a psychopath.
01:09Alpha, I choose to marry your son.
01:15It seemed Chloe had recovered her memories as well.
01:17Victor Blackwood didn't answer immediately.
01:20Instead, he turned to me.
01:21He carried a warm, fatherly smile.
01:24Sylvia, you're the elder sister.
01:26You choose first.
01:28Just as I expected.
01:30To him, I was a quiet, obedient Omega.
01:32Easy to control.
01:34Chloe, on the other hand, was outgoing.
01:36Impulsive.
01:37Hardly the ideal choice for his son.
01:39Chloe grabbed my wrist.
01:40Her nails dug into my skin as she shot me a warning look.
01:44Sylvia, you've heard the rumors too, haven't you?
01:47His son is ugly, and they say he's impotent.
01:49I don't want to see you trapped in an unhappy marriage for the rest of your life.
01:53I was ecstatic about her words.
01:56But I forced a worried expression.
01:58Are you sure?
01:59What if you regret it someday?
02:02Absolutely not.
02:04I know I haven't always been the best sister to you, but that'll change.
02:09I'll put in a good word for you with mom and dad, and things will be different between us.
02:13I smiled meaningfully.
02:15All right.
02:16Chloe, just remember what you said today.
02:19Then I turned to Victor Blackwood.
02:20Alpha, I'll take the $30 million.
02:22A flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.
02:25Chloe could barely hide her excitement.
02:27Her whole body trembled with joy.
02:28She was probably already imagining her future as the next Luna,
02:31an Alpha who would belong only to her,
02:33along with status, wealth, and endless luxury.
02:35She hurried to Victor's side, acting so sweet and obedient
02:39that she seemed like a completely different person.
02:42Alpha, don't worry.
02:44I've never been with anyone before.
02:45I'm saving myself for my...
02:46And I'll do everything I can to help Adrienne manage the Blackwood Pack.
02:49If I ever make mistakes, please tell me.
02:51I'll work hard to improve.
02:53After listening to her flattering speech,
02:55Victor finally smiled.
02:56Good.
02:58I'm sure Adrienne will be pleased to hear that.
03:01But there's one rule in the Blackwood Pack that you must never forget.
03:05Once my son marks you,
03:07this chosen bond
03:08can never be broken.
03:11No rejection.
03:12The bond lasts until death.
03:15Chloe's smile only grew wider.
03:17To her, it sounded like a promise of status and wealth.
03:20She nodded eagerly.
03:21Of course.
03:22I'll never leave him.
03:23I lowered my gaze,
03:25a mocking smile tugging at my lips.
03:27Victor made the rule sound romantic.
03:29But I knew what he really meant.
03:32Adrienne had never found his true mate.
03:34What Vitor wanted wasn't a faded Luna.
03:37He wanted a chosen Luna.
03:39One who couldn't run away.
03:41One he could keep under control.
03:43In my last life,
03:45Victor had never bothered explaining this rule to me.
03:48He knew he didn't need to.
03:50I cared too much about my family.
03:51Just threatening my parents was enough
03:53to make me give in.
03:56As for Chloe,
03:57she didn't need threats.
03:59Money and power were all it took.
04:01Greedy, selfish Chloe and the monster Adrienne
04:04were a match made in heaven.
04:05The moment Chloe got home,
04:07she couldn't wait to share her big news.
04:09Dad!
04:10Mom!
04:11I'm marrying Adrienne Blackwood Pack's alpha hair.
04:13I'm going to be the future Luna.
04:15Martin practically jumped off the couch,
04:17nearly dropping the remote.
04:19Chloe, are you serious?
04:22The Blackwoods?
04:23You mean those Blackwoods?
04:25Chloe lifted her chin proudly.
04:27Who else would I be talking about?
04:29Adrian is the most popular guy at our university.
04:32You saw him at my graduation, remember?
04:34He's handsome,
04:36kind,
04:36and he is also the captain of the hockey team.
04:39Girls are obsessed with him.
04:41She grinned.
04:42I never imagined he was the alpha hair all along.
04:46The alpha already set a date.
04:48The marking ceremony will be held on the next full moon.
04:51She spread her arms dramatically.
04:52You're looking at the future Luna of the Blackwood Pack.
04:55Martin rushed into the kitchen to pour drinks,
04:58buscling around like a servant attending royalty.
05:01Elena's eyes instantly turned red with excitement.
05:03A hundred and thirty million dollars.
05:06They must be unbelievably rich.
05:09They're insanely rich.
05:11The Blackwoods aren't just the strongest pack on the West Coast.
05:14They own companies in all kinds of industries.
05:17Semiconductors, luxury brands, biotech.
05:19They make money from everything.
05:22She laughed.
05:24And they have a rule.
05:26Once you're bonded,
05:27you're bonded for life.
05:29I sat quietly,
05:30watching Chloe beam.
05:31I could practically feel how happy she was.
05:34The Blackhouds were rich,
05:35but everything came with a price.
05:36Chloe didn't know the Blackwood Confatterum's
05:38130 million donation wasn't an act of generosity.
05:41It was hush money.
05:42Adrienne had played a part in a young Omega girl's death.
05:45Victor had spent a fortune to bury the scandal
05:47and make sure everyone involved stayed silent.
05:50And the marking ceremony scheduled for two weeks later
05:53wasn't because of some auspicious full moon.
05:55A grand ceremony made it easier to hide ugly truths.
06:00Elena quickly realized something.
06:02If Chloe is marrying the alpha hair,
06:03then what did Sylvia get?
06:05Just 30 million dollars?
06:07Martin and Elena's eyes immediately lit up.
06:09They exchanged excited looks.
06:13Sylvia, that's a lot of money for an Omega.
06:16Why don't you put it in the family account?
06:18You can always use it whenever you need.
06:19I almost laughed.
06:21Despite our different choices,
06:22they still favored Chloe.
06:24In my last life,
06:25Chloe had taken the 30 million.
06:27Our parents told her to spend the money however she wanted,
06:30dress herself up and find a better mate.
06:32Then they came to me for money.
06:33Their excuses never changed.
06:35I was the older sister.
06:36Yes, I was.
06:37I was older than Chloe by exactly one minute.
06:39She was sweeter, more charming.
06:41Growing up, her allowance was always twice mine.
06:44I was even expected to spend my own money
06:46buying things for her.
06:47No matter how much I achieved,
06:49they only showed up for Chloe.
06:51And whenever we argued,
06:52they never bothered asking what happened.
06:54The answer was always the same.
06:56She is their favorite.
06:57Dad, Mom, I can't put that money in the family account
06:59because that money was meant for me only.
07:01I don't think the alpha would be happy
07:03if he found out I shared it with someone else.
07:04I paused for a moment before continuing.
07:06And when Chloe marries into the Blackwood pack,
07:08people will think less of her for it.
07:10That immediately got their attention.
07:12Martin and Elena exchanged uneasy looks.
07:14Even Chloe froze for a second.
07:16Forget it.
07:17It's only $30 million.
07:19Mom, Dad, let her keep it.
07:21Once Adrian and I are bonded,
07:23$30 million will be nothing to us.
07:25Then her gaze shifted to me.
07:26A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
07:29But you have to promise me something.
07:33What is it?
07:34She crossed her arms.
07:36Stay away from Adrian.
07:38And you're not living here anymore.
07:39So she was worried Adrian might fall
07:41for the quiet, obedient Omega.
07:43I almost laughed.
07:44That sounded perfect to me.
07:45Sure.
07:46My smile widened.
07:47I'll pack my things right now.
07:49I won't come back unless I have to.
07:51And while we're at it,
07:52congratulations in advance.
07:53I hope you and Adrian have a wonderful marriage
07:55and lots of pups.
07:56Chloe looked pleased with my response.
07:59Good, Sylvia.
08:00Be good like this.
08:02And I might let you meet Adrian's friends.
08:04I didn't bother replying.
08:06I knew his friends better than she did.
08:07Not a single one of them was good.
08:09Ten minutes later, I had everything packed into one suitcase.
08:12A few changes of clothes, my laptop,
08:15and a bank card with $30 million.
08:19I dragged my suitcase out the front door
08:21without looking back.
08:22The second I got into my Uber,
08:24I burst out laughing.
08:25From now on, no more jealous little sister
08:27trying to ruin my life.
08:28No sadistic alpha here,
08:30and no parents who always put Chloe first.
08:32I'd never been this happy in my life.
08:34Even the sky over Silverport looked bluer than usual.
08:37With $30 million in my account,
08:39the first thing I did was buy
08:40a fully furnished apartment downtown.
08:42PacWarriors guarded it 24-7,
08:43and the whole building was under tight security.
08:45For the first time in my life,
08:47no one could walk into my room
08:48and touch my things without my permission.
08:50Over the next few months,
08:51I focused on building my future.
08:53Mostly that meant investing.
08:55I'd always been interested in the stock market.
08:57In my last life,
08:58I would invest small portions of my allowance.
09:00I lost more often than not,
09:02but I learned which stocks would eventually rise.
09:04I also registered my own media company.
09:06By the time I finished choosing a site for my company,
09:09I received Chloe and Adrienne's wedding invitations.
09:12The invitation itself looked like a work of art.
09:15Matte black handmade paper
09:16with golden brossed moon patterns along the edges.
09:19Chloe Video called me.
09:21Did you get the invitation?
09:22I smiled and held it up to the camera.
09:24Yeah, it's beautiful.
09:25Her eyes lit up with pride.
09:26Of course.
09:27I had them custom made
09:28at one of the best ateliers in New York.
09:30Each one cost over $10,000.
09:31I deliberately looked impressed.
09:34Wow.
09:35That's a lot.
09:36She smiled even more smugly.
09:38Not really.
09:39Just a few million dollars.
09:41It's nothing for the Blackwoods.
09:42Did you see the card inside?
09:44Adrienne wrote every name himself.
09:46Not only is he handsome,
09:48he's also very good at calligraphy.
09:50She leaned closer to the camera,
09:52grinning.
09:53So, sis?
09:54Do you regret not choosing Adrienne back then?
09:57I ran my fingers over the silver lettering
09:59on the invitation,
10:00my smile deepening.
10:01Why would I?
10:02I'm glad you're happy.
10:03She let out a light cough.
10:05You really are hopeless.
10:07I used to walk all over you and I still do.
10:09Guess you're just meant to stay beneath me
10:11in both lifetimes.
10:12I pretended not to understand her.
10:14After a few more smag remarks,
10:16she finally ended the call,
10:18satisfied.
10:18My gaze lingered on the name
10:20written in ancient pack skrilp.
10:22I knew that handwriting too well.
10:24Adrienne had an attractive face
10:26and beautiful, long-fingered hands.
10:28And those same hands,
10:29when used for cruelty,
10:30were just as unforgettable.
10:32In my past life,
10:33he was obsessed with practicing
10:34ancient pack calligraphy.
10:35He would force me onto the cold floor
10:37of his study, naked,
10:39and he traced characters across my skin
10:40with a pen dipped in silver ink.
10:42Each mark burned into my flesh like fire.
10:44The pain lingered for hours
10:45before it finally faded.
10:47He called it taming an omega.
10:49Just a few fragments of that memory
10:50were enough to leave me drenched in cold sweat.
10:52Adrienne was my nightmare.
10:54If I didn't face him,
10:55he would haunt me for the rest of my life.
10:58I took a deep breath
10:59and shifted my gaze to the computer screen.
11:01My stock account was all green.
11:03Three million had turned into over 30 million.
11:05Altogether, it was a pretty large sum.
11:07I wouldn't have dared to imagine this before.
11:10But I'd done it.
11:11So why stop here?
11:13Why not go further and beat the blackholds?
11:15The Blackwood Pax marking ceremony
11:17was said to have cost 300 million dollars.
11:21Chloe's crown came from an ancient European Pax Luna.
11:24Her wedding gown was pure white silk,
11:26embroidered with silver wolf patterns.
11:28Adrienne was dressed in a custom-tailored Italian suit.
11:31He carried such an overwhelming era
11:33that most of the guests intinctively lowered their heads.
11:36It really was a perfect match,
11:38especially the moment he knelt on one knee,
11:41baring his neck as he swore his vow to Chloe.
11:43Chloe, I'll protect you for the rest of my life.
11:47You won't regret marrying me.
11:49Chloe was so moved she was in tears,
11:51nodding hard.
11:54I believe you.
11:56Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd
11:58and a few guests were moved to tears.
12:01Only Adrienne's so-called friends
12:02wore amused, mocking expressions.
12:04They were just like him,
12:06always running wild together.
12:07As long as they didn't harm the family's interests
12:09or challenge the Alphaheed,
12:10their parents let them do whatever they wanted.
12:12It was just allowance money to them.
12:14After the ceremony,
12:15I met Adrienne for the first time in this life.
12:17I stood in a corner with a glass of champagne,
12:20keeping my head dowered,
12:21but he still noticed me.
12:22He walked over with a glass of whiskey,
12:24a faint smile on his lips.
12:26You must be Chloe's sister.
12:28You weren't around when I visited her family before,
12:31so this is our first meeting, right?
12:32You didn't decry to us nothing.
12:34I heard you're busy.
12:35Too busy to even attend family dinners?
12:37I had no choice but to look up at him.
12:39Those gray-blue eyes met mind,
12:41smiling, but cold.
12:42His brows lifted slightly,
12:44as if he had found something interesting.
12:45My hands clenched tightly.
12:47My nails dug into my palms.
12:49The pain helped me fight against the fear inside.
12:51His alpha aura pressed down on me,
12:53not strong,
12:54but enough to make an Omega's legs go weak.
12:56I forced out a stiff smile.
12:58Yeah, I've been busy with work.
13:00Adrian licked his lip.
13:01What kind of work?
13:02Maybe I can help.
13:03An alpha air's help?
13:04My instincts screamed one word.
13:05Run.
13:06Adrian, the pack leaders are still waiting for us.
13:08I understood immediately.
13:09She was marking her territory.
13:11Only then did Adrian let me go.
13:13His gaze lingered on me for a second longer.
13:16A meaningful smile curved his lips
13:18before he followed Chloe to other guests.
13:20I didn't dare stay any longer.
13:26The day after the wedding,
13:27my parents invited Chloe and Adrian to a family dinner.
13:30I thought Chloe wouldn't want me back
13:32because she didn't want me to see Adrian again.
13:34But Elena called instead,
13:36her voice unusually urgent.
13:37That could only mean one thing.
13:39Adrian had stood her up.
13:40Then I said yes.
13:42The moment I changed into indoor slippers
13:44and stepped inside,
13:45I met Chloe's exhausted face.
13:47The bride, who had been glowing just yesterday,
13:50now looked drained.
13:51There were bruises around her marking bite,
13:54far more violent than a normal bond mark.
13:56Her collar was pulled high,
13:57but I could still make out faint finger
13:59alongs her colisbone.
14:01I understood immediately.
14:02So Adrian had already gone too far last night.
14:05In my past life,
14:06it had at least take him a month
14:07before he started abusing me.
14:09But then I noticed the brand new cartedia bracelet
14:12on her wrist and everything clicked.
14:14Adrian was generous when he wanted to be.
14:16Then I smiled as if realizing something.
14:18Oh right, it was your marking night.
14:19No wonder you're a bit tired.
14:21Chloe said nothing.
14:22She just stared at me closely,
14:24studying my face as if trying to decide
14:26whether I was faking it.
14:27There was something strange in her eyes,
14:29like she was weighing
14:30whether she should say something to me.
14:32What is it?
14:32Why are you looking at me like that?
14:35Sylvia, you...
14:36Never mind.
14:37Her voice was horsky,
14:39probably from crying and begging all night.
14:41But Adrian was a psychopath.
14:43The more she cried,
14:44the more excited he got.
14:46The alpha heir's instincts
14:47had been twisted into a sadistic urge.
14:50And Omega's tears and fear
14:52were the best kind of aphrodisiac to him.
14:55Elena had cooked a full table of dishes,
14:58all Chloe's favorites.
15:00Beef stewed in red wine,
15:03Boston lobster,
15:05pumpkin pie,
15:06but Chloe only drank a few spoonfuls of cream soup.
15:10Even swallowing seemed difficult.
15:12Chloe, are you not feeling well?
15:16I had too much champagne yesterday.
15:18My throat's a bit sore.
15:20Elena quickly served her another bowl of soup
15:22while Martin washed blueberries and strawberries for her.
15:25Chloe managed to eat a little more.
15:27I kept my head down as I ate,
15:29but my lips couldn't stop curling up.
15:32Last night,
15:34Adrian had been testing her obedience.
15:36He probably made her do plenty of humiliating things.
15:38He might make her kneel in the most submissive position,
15:41expose her marking bite in front of his alpha friends.
15:45But that was only the beginning.
15:47It would only get worse from here.
15:49I had lived through those nightmares in my past life,
15:52being tied up and shared among his so-called friends,
15:55being hunted in wolf form on full moon nights for their amusement.
15:59But that still wasn't the worst of it.
16:00The worst was the basement,
16:02a soundproof room on the third underground level.
16:04I didn't want to think about what was inside,
16:06devices specifically designed to torture Omegas.
16:08Some ordered from the black market,
16:10others designed by Adrian himself.
16:12Chloe, is Adrian very busy?
16:14Why didn't he come back with you?
16:16It's only the second day.
16:18Yeah.
16:20He's busy with pack business.
16:21He should at least come back for a dinner.
16:24How long could that take?
16:26He's the alpha heir of the Blackwood pack.
16:29Of course he's busy.
16:30Do you think he's like you, a useless beta?
16:33Don't mind your father.
16:35As long as you're good with Adrian,
16:37that's all that matters.
16:38Sylvia, what have you been doing these days?
16:41Nothing, just traveling around,
16:43went to Napa Valley for wine,
16:45then spent some time in Santa Monica.
16:49I like shopping too.
16:52But we are different.
16:54They clear the place for me every time.
16:56The entire Rodeo Drive knows me.
16:59Things that other people can't even get,
17:01I can buy as much as I want.
17:03He gave me an unlimited black card.
17:06I can spend whatever I want.
17:08The other day, I spent over six million in just two hours.
17:12My goodness.
17:15Won't Adrian get angry if you spend that much?
17:18That little money?
17:20He doesn't care.
17:21With Martin and Elena constantly praising her,
17:24she seemed to regain her confidence in this life with Adrian.
17:27Yes, she was being abused.
17:29But she had money.
17:30And if she could live a life everyone envied,
17:32that was enough for her.
17:33Dad, Mom, I'll take you to South Coast Plar this afternoon.
17:37Buy whatever you like.
17:39Oh, Chloe, that's really sweet of you.
17:42That was clearly aimed at me.
17:44I'm not Chloe.
17:45She has the Blackwood family behind her
17:48and money that could last several lifetimes.
17:52I only had 30 million.
17:55And I bought a house and invested in a company.
18:00Sorry, Mom.
18:01There isn't much left.
18:02I have to be careful with it.
18:04That's right.
18:05You'll just be living off that little money
18:07for the rest of your life.
18:11Dad, Mom, buy whatever you want.
18:17Dad wanted a new car, right?
18:21Porsche or Maserati, your choice.
18:26And Mom, you've wanted that Van Kloof necklace
18:29for a long time, haven't you?
18:33I'll get it for you.
18:35Martin and Elena immediately lit up,
18:38already excitedly discussing what to buy.
18:41Sylvia, you're jealous of me, aren't you?
18:44I smiled meaningfully.
18:49Who wouldn't be?
18:50Every girl out there wishes she could be you,
18:53the future Luna of the Blackwood pack.
18:56Let any woman try to take my alpha.
18:58I'll kill her.
19:01No one takes my place unless I'm dead.
19:08I saw Chloe's shopping spree with Martin and Elena on social media.
19:12A Porsche Cayenne, a Patek Philippe, a diamond-studded bracelet,
19:16three Hermes bags.
19:18At least $10 million were gone in a single afternoon.
19:21Chloe was going to pay for it tonight.
19:24Adrian's control over money was obsessive.
19:27In my past life, I had once spent just $20 on painkillers,
19:31and he locked me in the basement as punishment for an hour.
19:34And Chloe had burned through nearly $10 million in a day.
19:37I couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
19:39After enjoying Chloe's show, I got back to work.
19:42My media company began recruiting streamers and building content pipelines.
19:47In this era, Omega Voices were rare.
19:49What I wanted to build was a platform where they could actually be heard.
19:53Once the company stabilized,
19:55I enrolled in a management course at Silverport Business School.
19:59From a complete beginner, I started learning how real management worked.
20:03Along the way, I met businessman from other packs
20:06and spent my free time discussing operations over coffee.
20:11Running a business wasn't easy.
20:14In the first month, I lost over $3 million.
20:18Fortunately, by the second month, I broke even and turned a small profit.
20:23At least things were finally on track.
20:25I hadn't spoken to my family in a long time until that day.
20:29I was at a routine networking event for a mid-till pack circle,
20:33playing golf at the Silverport Country Club.
20:36Just as I swung my club, I caught sight of Adrian.
20:40I lowered my cap slightly and saw him walk into the private course area with Chloe
20:45and a group of male alphas.
20:47Chloe wore a short dress, her makeup perfect,
20:50like a carefully wrapped gift, but her posture was stiff.
20:54Anyone could tell she wasn't doing well.
20:58Looks like the Blackwood heir brought his Omega out to entertain the boys again.
21:03Last time I passed by their VIP room, damn, that was something.
21:08Yeah.
21:09A properly marked chosen mate shared among the pack.
21:13She's worse off than an unmarked Omega.
21:17That's what you get with top-tier alphas.
21:19They play rough.
21:20I watched them disappear into another part of the course.
21:24In my past life, Adrian had tortured me in counterellis ways,
21:28but he never let his pack members touch me.
21:31This time, he didn't even see Chloe as a person anymore.
21:34Maybe she had spent so much of his money, he was bound to retaliate.
21:38And after being punished, Chloe would spend even more to soothe herself,
21:42only to trigger his punishment again.
21:45A vicious cycle.
21:46It was only a matter of time before it killed her.
21:49Still, Chloe was Chloe.
21:51She managed to get pregnant.
21:52The Blackwood pack valued heirs above all else.
21:55A few weeks later, her social media started updating again.
21:58Her face looked a little brighter, and occasionally Adrian appeared,
22:01his hand resting on her shoulder, his expression soft and indulgent.
22:04A month later, Chloe called me to boast.
22:07Sylvia, the doctor confirmed it.
22:11It's a boy.
22:13Her voice was overflowing with pride.
22:16He'll be the future Alpha heir.
22:18He'll inherit the Blackwood Empire.
22:21I won't just be Luna.
22:23I'll be the mother of the Alpha.
22:28Congratulations.
22:29Is the baby healthy?
22:31Of course.
22:34The doctor mentioned something about an X-way wage.
22:38Chromosome pattern.
22:41I didn't really catch it, but it just means he'll be stronger than average.
22:46That's my son.
22:49You're going to end up alone for the rest of your life.
22:51Don't expect a single cent from me in the future.
22:54X-Y syndrome in humans often shows increased impulsivity and aggression.
22:59But in werewolves, especially those with Alpha bloodlines, the trait is amplified many times over.
23:04In simple terms, this child would likely inherit Adrian's violent tendencies, possibly even worse.
23:09And Chloe, as a marked chosen Omega, would one day face the double suppression of two violent Alphas.
23:14In my past life, there had been no child, because I was the one who got pregnant, and I never
23:18got to keep mine.
23:19Over the next few months, I poured all my energy into my company and investments.
23:24The media company finally started turning a profit.
23:26I signed over a dozen Omega streamers.
23:29They made content about lifestyle, legal education, and mental health.
23:32One creator focused on Omega rights gained over half a million followers in just three months.
23:37Her comment section was filled with Omegas sharing their experiences of being oppressed under PAC laws.
23:42I never appeared publicly. Everything was handled by my team.
23:45The name Sylvia Hart did not need to appear anywhere.
23:48On the stock market side, I remembered a major wing from my past life.
23:51A small biotech company called about to receive FDA approval for a new suppressor targeting Omega heat cycles.
23:56Once the news broke, its stock prices surge 80-fold.
23:59I bought heavily at the bottom.
24:01At the same time, investigative reports from a private firm continued to land on my desk.
24:05Blackwood Kalarshiv's finance records over the past five years showed more than $20 million
24:09flowing in shell companies' fake charities cross variable laundering.
24:12Every trail pointed to systematic tax evasion.
24:15That was only the beginning.
24:16The deeper problem lay elsewhere.
24:18The Blackwood family owned called Private Recovery Asility on the East Coast.
24:22Officially, it was a high-end Omega rehabilitation center.
24:25In reality, it was a detention site where Omegas were abuse-gust.
24:28This time, I would want so turn it into Adrian Victor discussing it.
