The world was unaware…
But it was already under new ownership.
In the shadows of power, in the rooms where countries were bought and sold, in the wires that connected banks to satellites, a new name had started to appear in encrypted whispers:
> Ryu
The Ghost with Infinite Credit
The Buyer Without Borders
But in a penthouse above the clouds, Reyan, the boy who once slept on a cardboard mat beside his sister, remained calm.
He wasn't building a company.
He was building an empire.
One that could never be destroyed—because it didn't officially exist.

Inside the Core: Infinity Wealth System Dashboard
Reyan stood before a massive wall of glowing data, floating in the air like magic. He had designed this room using just a voice command.
He spoke to the system.
> "Status report."
> [Funds Remaining: 999 Centillion USD (Still Growing)]
[Interest Rate: +7.8 Quintillion USD/second]
[Current Projects Active: 17]
1. Global Clean Water Network – 3000 wells drilled overnight in Africa and Asia (anonymous).
2. Slum Rehabilitation Fund – 12 zones rebuilt under false NGO names.
3. Arya's Academy Protection Protocol – Active. Shielded by 11 invisible firewalls.
4. Surveillance Scan on Global Billionaires – 22 targets marked.
5. Digital Shadow Team Recruitment – 4 hackers onboarded. 2 in evaluation.
Reyan's eyes paused on project 17.
> [Project 17: Black Den Takedown – Phase 1 Ready]
He clenched his jaw.
That one… was personal.

Flashback: 2 Years Ago
A rainy night.
A scream in the dark.
Arya trembling in the corner of a room.
Three men arrested later. Never punished. Police bought out.
Back then, Reyan had sworn to never let her live in fear again.
Now he had the means to erase that darkness forever.

Back to Present
> "System. Begin Phase 1 of Black Den Takedown."
> [Confirmed. 14 known child-trafficking rings marked. Funds reversed. Leaders now bankrupt. Private drones en route.]
> "Make sure no one survives who ever touched those files."
> [Understood. 47 operations in progress.]
Reyan exhaled slowly.
> "And no blood. Unless necessary."

Meanwhile: Government Cyber Division, New Delhi
A young agent burst into the server room.
"Sir! We have something... strange."
Director Ayesha Virani, a decorated cyber-security veteran, turned to him.
"What is it?"
He pointed at the screen.
> Live financial trace detected.
> Money transferred: $0
But 14 criminal accounts vanished.
Entire groups offline. As if erased.
> "We call him Ghost Buyer," he said. "But now people are calling him something else…"
Ayesha raised an eyebrow. "What?"
> "The Silent Emperor."

Meanwhile: At Eden District Academy
Arya was in the library, quietly reading a book on architecture. For the first time in years, no one interrupted her. She had space. Peace.
Then someone slid into the seat across from her.
A girl.
Strange.
Quiet.
Sharp eyes.
"Hi," the girl said. "You're Arya, right?"
Arya blinked. "Yes. Do I know you?"
The girl smiled softly. "Not yet. But my name is Meira Sen. And I'm not here to bully you. I'm here because my parents work in the intelligence division."
Arya's heart skipped.
"What… do you mean?"
Meira leaned forward.
"I think your brother is the one behind what we call the Ghost Transactions. And I think you don't know just how powerful he is."

Zenith-9 Tower, That Night
Reyan sat alone in the rooftop garden, watching the moon.
> "System," he whispered. "What's the risk level now?"
> [Global Attention: 3% and rising.]
[India: 7% – Ayesha Virani approaching.]
[Unknown Element: Meira Sen – IQ 189 – Watching Arya.]
Reyan's eyes narrowed.
> "We need to start Phase 2."
> "Start building the Shadow Council."
