Chapter 15 - Traitor

Discovery of "Sectors"

I discovered a hidden log within Alpha's private backup on the Lucent Trade Corp servers, labeled "Sectors - A, B, C, D, E." The discovery felt like a dagger to my gut, as if I had stumbled upon something deeply sinister.

Inside the log, there were meticulously organized digital dossiers containing information on over 200 girls, each categorized by disturbing traits that hinted at their fates:

Sector A: "Foreign bloodlines, virgin confirmed, VIP only." This group seemed to target girls from affluent families or exotic backgrounds, presumably sought after by high-profile clients.

Sector B: "Broken homes, no traceable families. Fit for trials." The profiles here depicted vulnerable individuals, likely from unstable environments, marked for exploitation in whatever horrific experiments or trials lay ahead.

Sector C: "Social media influencers to create scandal leverage." These girls were strategically selected for their social media presence, likely groomed to be manipulated into public scandals that could serve the organization's interests.

Sector D: "High obedience. Permanent companions." This sector seemed outright chilling; it suggested a classification of girls who were conditioned to be submissive, possibly bound to serve as emotional or physical companions indefinitely.

Sector E: "Unstable. Sell fast. Disposal eligible." This last group struck a horrifying chord. These girls were deemed expendable, likely to be discarded or eliminated when they no longer served a purpose.

The thought of "disposal" sent a wave of nausea through me. They had established a cold, systematic approach for destroying lives objectifying human beings as if they were mere commodities.

What gripped me the most was that Selina's signature appeared on every report. She wasn't just complicit; she was orchestrating this catalog of human despair, actively managing the fates of these girls as though they were items on a corporate spreadsheet. The reality of her involvement shattered any lingering doubts I had about her true character.

More from the Past

As I scoured through public records in search of information about Alpha's father, I stumbled upon something unexpected: a missing person case. Rafael Darien, who happens to be Alpha's biological father, mysteriously disappeared 22 years ago. Notably, the last complaint regarding his disappearance was filed by Selina's father, raising questions about their connection.

Delving deeper into Selina's childhood history, I discovered her therapy logs, which revealed that she began attending sessions at the tender age of 10. The therapist's diagnosis pointed to dissociation stemming from what was labeled "traumatic betrayal."

I paused to absorb the gravity of these findings. This situation was far more complex than mere crime; it appeared to involve intricate psychological manipulation that had deeply affected both Alpha and Selina.

Video File (Recovered from VHS Archive)

Blurred timestamp. A home video converted from an old VHS tape.

In a dimly lit room, a young Selina, around 15 years old, sits cross-legged on her bed, her long hair falling over her tear-streaked face as she speaks earnestly to a static camera perched on a stand.

Selina (crying, her voice breaking): "He said I was his first love. He promised me I was different from everyone else. But he hurt me. Again and again. I can't tell anyone about this my father would be devastated if he knew the truth."

She pauses, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, her vulnerability evident as she struggles to find the right words.

Selina (gazing down, whispering): "I think… I'm becoming him." 

The weight of her confession hangs in the air, marking a moment of deep introspection and fear for what she might become.

Surveillance Breakthrough

At the headquarters of Lucent Trade Corp, located on the 13th floor, I discovered an overlooked security camera. It was cleverly hidden beneath a panel that housed a security light. After retrieving seven months of video footage, I began to watch the recordings.

The footage captured a tense moment between Selina and Alpha, showing them in a heated argument.

Selina, visibly upset, said, "This is not what I wanted."

Alpha, with a cold and unwavering demeanor, replied, "You wanted me. You got me."

Selina, her voice tinged with frustration, responded, "I wanted your love, not this madness."

In an icy tone, Alpha asserted, "Love doesn't keep empires alive, Selina. Fear does."

Then, in a sudden and forceful move, he kissed her passionately. Surprisingly, she did not push him away or resist.

Final Evidence

I successfully accessed an encrypted backup of a laptop taken from Alpha's suite, a place notorious for its secrets. Within the intricate labyrinth of hexadecimal code, I unearthed an unexpected find: an audio journal that hinted at darker truths.

As I played the recording, Alpha's voice emerged smooth, low, and chilling, echoing through the silence:

"Selina was the first girl I broke, a vulnerable soul I manipulated into submission. Now, she carries out my orders, breaking others for me, a twisted reflection of my influence. It's funny how pain teaches loyalty in the most ironic of ways. This city sees me as a devoted family man, a façade that shields my true nature. But every king needs a different crown at night one that embraces power, not just affection."

Apartment

Under the project BLACKLOTUS, I developed several key components, including:

Sectors System: This is a comprehensive index that tracks various trafficking activities and trends across different sectors.

Gilded Cage: A platform dedicated to livestream auctions, where rare and illicit items can be sold in real-time to the highest bidder.

VARGAS NOIRE: This component focuses on the international exports of controlled substances and other high-risk goods, facilitating transactions across borders.

Lucent Trade: A series of trials involving synthetic drugs, aimed at testing their effects and potential market viability.

VIP Clients: This includes a network of influential individuals in political, biotech, and diplomatic circles, allowing for high-level connections and transactions.

Emotional Bond: A project where Selina, an entity or product, was created based on experiences of trauma, highlighting psychological aspects in trade relationships. 

At the top of my findings, I emphasized: 

"ALPHA DARK = SYSTEMATIC EVIL."

As I investigated Alpha Dark further, I realized something significant: he wasn't merely a trafficker; he was, in fact, a traitor, betraying the trust of those around him and engaging in far more sinister activities.

Shadow Net Dive

After meticulously cataloging Alpha's intricate trafficking operations, I decided it was time to revisit a hidden terminal that had remained untouched for years. 

Upon accessing the terminal, I entered the following command:

GATE://NoirByte/Vault23/

The screen flickered to life, revealing a stark black interface with text flashing in an ominous shade of green. 

"Search Query: Alpha Dark Syndicate Affiliations MAFIA CIRCUITS" 

I executed the query across four ghost servers, intricate digital pathways designed to obscure my trace. After what felt like an eternity, one result materialized on my screen.

Name: HazardKing 

Alias: HK

Status: Active 

Location: UNKNOWN

Mafia Class: Sovereign Tier (Rank A1) 

Reputation: No Innocent Blood / No Tolerance for Betrayal 

Age: 30

HazardKing was more than just a name; he was a myth among the denizens of cybercrime forums. Tales of his exploits spread like wildfire. Some claimed he had the uncanny ability to make a person vanish without so much as lifting a finger. Others spun audacious stories of how he had once thwarted an entire port city in Italy by destabilizing its currency and coercing its shipping magnates into paralyzing their own economy with his relentless blackmail. 

The fear he instilled in others was palpable no one dared to cross him or even whisper his name in a disparaging light. 

What I was uncovering next was nothing short of mind-boggling. 

Connection Established: Alpha ↔ HazardKing  

As I delved deeper, I discovered buried metadata within a folder that Alpha had believed to be deleted forever. From this digital ghost, I painstakingly reconstructed a video chat log from over two years ago, a window into a clandestine world woven with secrets and unspoken alliances.

[RECOVERED FILE, VIDEO LOG | 2 Yrs Ago | Encoded Feed]

HK sat in a sturdy chair within a war room that exuded a Moroccan aesthetic, characterized by rich colors and intricate patterns. The atmosphere was both elegant and sharp, reflecting the serious nature of the discussions that took place within its walls. HK concealed his face with a sleek mask, his head bowed slightly, making it difficult to see his features, yet there was an undeniable appeal about him, he was undeniably handsome, with an air of authority that commanded respect.

In a calm and measured tone, HK addressed the newcomer: 

"Loyalty is all I care about. If you want to operate under my name, there are strict rules to follow. You don't mess with women or children. If you do, you'll find out what it means to disappear."

Across from him stood Alpha Dark, a man known for his charm and cunning. With a smile that could light up a room, he responded, 

"I'm clean. My operations involve weapons and intelligence only. If you're looking for ghost tracking, then I'm the man you need."

HK leaned forward, fixating his piercing gaze on Alpha. 

"You'd better be telling the truth. I don't play games like your previous employers."

Alpha nodded, a look of respect on his face as he met HK's intense stare. 

"You'll get everything you need from me. I've got a deep admiration for you, HK."

And just like that, the pact was forged, sealing their alliance.

But here's the twist: 

Alpha wasn't actually working for HK; he was covertly plotting against him, playing a dangerous game of deception from the very beginning.

Dark Web Marketplace Archives

I managed to infiltrate a private archive belonging to a lesser-known enemy syndicate known as the Scorpions of Ruin. This organization is led by Enemy of HK, a notorious mafia prince who was originally poised to inherit the global throne before HK seized power.
