The Feared One

Chapter 30: War



The war room was dead silent, save for the soft hum of surveillance monitors and the flickering glow of live intelligence feeds. Bishop sat at his station, his hands trembling. "They… they killed my entire team."

His safehouse in London was gone and reduced to ashes. His operatives were executed and their bodies left as a message.

Jonas Wren clenched his jaw, pouring a drink with shaky hands. "They just made this personal." Nikolai Volkov, sitting across from Kane, exhaled smoke from his cigar. "They don't fear you yet, Kane. That was their mistake."

Silas Kane stood at the center of the war table with his gold-plated pistol resting beside a glass of whiskey. His smirk was gone. His eyes were ice-cold. "Then let's make them regret it." He turned to Bishop. "Do we have their locations?"

Bishop nodded, pulling up Dominion's command structure on the holographic display. "Three primary targets remain."

Victor Hadrian – Dominion's financial mastermind, controlling its black-budget accounts and offshore funds. Located in Monaco.

Erik Faust – Dominion's tactical warlord, overseeing assassination squads and private military operations. Last seen in Berlin.

The Director – The mysterious leader of Dominion, whose true identity was still unknown. Rumored to be in an undisclosed bunker in the Arctic.

Kane exhaled. "We take them out. All of them." Jonas raised an eyebrow. "Simultaneously?" Kane's smirk returned, but there was no humor in it. "We don't give them time to breathe."

The Monaco skyline glittered under the soft glow of luxury. Casinos, yachts and high-rise penthouses hummed with wealth but one man inside a fortified villa wasn't celebrating.

Victor Hadrian sat in a high-tech financial war room, surrounded by Dominion's best security. Armed guards patrolled the halls, surveillance drones hovered above and a private military unit protected the building. None of it mattered. Because Kane was already inside.

Hadrian was reviewing encrypted financial reports when the first gunshot rang out. His head of security collapsed, a bullet in his skull. Hadrian's eyes widened. "What the…." Another shot. Another guard down.

Kane and Jonas moved like ghosts, suppressors on their pistols making their kills silent and efficient. Hadrian turned to run but Kane was already there, waiting.

The banker froze, staring down the barrel of Kane's gun. "Silas… please. Let's talk." Kane chuckled, shaking his head. "You're the reason Bishop's people are dead." Hadrian swallowed. "It wasn't personal." Kane's smile was razor-sharp. "It is now."

He pulled the trigger. One shot. Clean. Hadrian collapsed over his desk, dead. Bishop's voice crackled in their comms. "Confirmed kill. His accounts are transferring to us now. Dominion just lost its entire war chest." Kane exhaled. "Good. One down."

A Dominion black-site bunker sat deep beneath an abandoned factory in Berlin. Inside, Erik Faust, Dominion's military strategist stood before a war table, tracking the fall of their assets in real-time.

A Dominion soldier rushed in. "Sir, we've lost Hadrian!" Faust's cold blue eyes narrowed. "Kane." Another officer hesitated. "Sir… if he's coming for us! " BOOM! The outer walls of the bunker exploded, sending debris crashing inward.

Kane's strike team stormed the facility. Jonas moved with precision, clearing security checkpoints. Volkov fought like a demon, knife flashing in close quarters. Kane moved straight toward Faust, his gun steady.

Faust fired first, his bullets sparking off the metal walls but Kane was faster. A single shot to the leg. Faust collapsed, gasping in pain. Kane stalked toward him, pressing his gun to the warlord's forehead. "Your men are dead. Dominion is crumbling. And you're next."

Faust chuckled through the pain. "You think you're winning? You don't even know who the Director is." Kane smirked. "Then tell me." Faust spat blood, grinning. "Go to hell." Kane exhaled. "Already there." He pulled the trigger.

Deep in the Arctic Circle, a hidden beneath miles of ice and a Dominion command bunker pulsed with activity. Inside, the final pieces of Project Dominion were unraveling.

A figure sat at the head of a long steel table, watching live feeds of Hadrian and Faust's deaths. This was the Director. The true architect behind Dominion. And they were waiting for Kane.

A fleet of armored helicopters tore through the frozen skies, their engines roaring against the wind. Inside the lead chopper, Kane adjusted his rifle with eyes locked on the massive underground bunker below. Jonas exhaled. "This is the last piece." Kane nodded. "Then let's finish it."

The helicopters descended, ropes dropping as Kane, Volkov and their strike teams hit the ground running. Jonas took out the watchtowers, clearing sniper nests. Volkov led the breach team, cutting through Dominion's final security forces. Kane moved straight for the command center.

Inside, alarms blared as Dominion's last operatives fought to hold the line. But Kane was unstoppable. He breached the final door, stepping into the heart of Dominion's control center. And there, waiting for him was the Director.

A figure in a black suit, standing calmly at the center of the room. Kane raised his gun. "End of the line." The Director smiled. "You took everything from me, Kane. But you still don't understand." Kane's eyes narrowed. "Enlighten me."

The Director's voice was cold. "I'm not the only one. Dominion wasn't my idea. It was bigger than me. And it's bigger than you." Kane smirked. "Then I'll burn them too." The Director chuckled. "You have no idea what's coming." Kane's smirk faded. Then he pulled the trigger. A single shot. The Director collapsed. Dominion was dead. But Kane had a sinking feeling. This war wasn't over.

Back aboard his warship, Kane stood at the bridge, watching the endless ocean stretch before him. Jonas poured a drink. "So… Dominion's dead." Volkov exhaled, lighting a cigar. "That's what we thought about the Wraith. And Dragunov. And the CIA."

Kane smirked, staring at the horizon. "Power doesn't die." He turned to Bishop. "Find out what the Director meant. Who's pulling the strings." Bishop nodded. "On it." Jonas sighed. "You realize this never ends, right?"

Kane chuckled, flicking his cigarette into the wind. "Then let's make sure we're always the ones on top." The war had changed. But Silas Kane was still there. And he was just getting started.
