Location: Global Tycoon Summit – Dubai
The Burj Al Arab's sail-shaped silhouette gleamed against the desert dusk. Inside its opulent conference hall, the world's wealthiest and most powerful gathered for the Global Tycoon Summit—an event Bai Chen had founded to showcase NovaBank Sovereign's dominance.
On the stage, digital banners proclaimed:
"Welcome to the Dawn of a New Financial Order"
But behind the glittering façade, tension crackled. Black Nine's remnants—humiliated in Rome, Singapore, Dubai—had one last gambit: Operation Ouroboros, an all‑out coordinated assault to topple Bai Chen's empire in a single strike.
System Alert: Operation Ouroboros Activated
⚡ Phase One – Data Storm: Unleash a mass cyber‑attack on NovaBank's global ledgers.
🦠 Phase Two – Bio‑Sonic Bombs: Deploy frequency‑modulated shocks in key markets to crash human and machine operations.
🔪 Phase Three – Physical Coup: Simultaneous hostage strikes on all four lead allies to shatter Bai Chen's heart.
Objective: Survive the siege, protect your allies, and counterattack.
Allied Leads Required: Su Yiran, Lin Yuwei, Ye Qingyue, Tang Xinyi.
Timeframe: 24 hours.
Scene: Summit Opening Ceremony
Bai Chen stood at the podium flanked by his four queens:
Su Yiran in a steel‑woven legal blazer
Lin Yuwei in emerald tactical couture
Ye Qingyue in crystalline evening armor
Tang Xinyi in soft white healer's silk
Their presence was a statement: NovaVerse was united, invincible.
He spoke into the mic:
"Tonight, we don't just announce a vision. We defend an era."
As applause thundered, red warning lights flashed across every System display.
Phase One – The Data Storm
Instantly, screens behind him flickered—NovaBank login portals crashed. Worldwide, users saw "SYSTEM ERROR: LEDGER CORRUPTED."
Investors gasped. Reporters panicked.
Bai Chen's eyes narrowed.
System Buff: Mind Sovereign
He tapped his ring:
"Restore Ledger from backup T35!"
Within seconds, golden data streams streamed across the screens, repairing corrupted blocks and isolating the malicious code.
🔓 Data Storm Countered
📈 NovaBank Stability: 100%
💥 Retaliation: Trace the server breach to a Black Nine satellite uplink.
Phase Two – Bio‑Sonic Bombs
A distant hum rose, felt more than heard—a low‑frequency pulse shaking glasses and calm nerves.
Tang Xinyi, standing to his right, faltered.
"They're using sonic waves to induce panic attacks—and overload AI bio‑shields!"
Bai Chen grabbed her arm. "Stay with me."
He bellowed to the crowd: "Calm your breathing. Focus on the light."
Xinyi closed her eyes, centering on the bond they'd forged.
Behind them, Ye Qingyue raised her hand. Golden barriers shimmered, enveloping the stage in a sanctuary dome.
🔓 Bio‑Sonic Neutralized
💞 Xinyi's empathic anchor calmed attendees; no casualties.
💎 Trait Unlocked: "Sanctuary of Hearts" – Creates protective dome against mental or sonic attacks.
Phase Three – The Hostage Coup
Suddenly, the glass doors burst inward. Masked Black Nine agents stormed in, their target clear: the four queens.
Bai Chen's heart lurched.
Yiran, Yuwei, Qingyue, and Xinyi were escorted into separate glass pods activated by remote locks.
A distorted voice echoed through hidden speakers:
"Save them all… if you wish to live, Bai Chen."
Time froze.
He strode forward. "You want my heart? You'll have to take it."
System Protocol: Heart of the Empire
🔥 Activate "Heart of the Empire" – Combine all four allies' traits

Effect: Overpowers any siege protocol, breaks pod locks, and traps enemy agents.
Bai Chen placed his hands on the glass of one pod. Light surged—each handprint glowed with a queen's emblem.
System Override Engaged
The pods hissed. Locks clicked. Glass shattered harmlessly.
The queens stepped free in unison.
— Yiran unleashed a wave of restraining legal tendrils that bound the agents.
— Yuwei's wrist‑cannon smote weapons into scrap.
— Qingyue warped the environment, folding the walls to crush intruders.
— Xinyi radiated calm, nullifying any fear virus attempts.
The agents fell, defeated by an alliance of hearts and power.
Final Counterattack
Bai Chen raised his voice:
"Operation Ouroboros fails!"
He executed a single command: "Global System Purge—Trace back to origin—deploy nanite storm."
Golden nanites swarmed the venue, isolating remaining malicious code, sealing breaches, and broadcasting a victory beacon.
The audience erupted in cheers.
Aftermath: Summit's Climax
Fireworks cascaded above the Arabian Gulf as the Summit resumed under celebration.
Bai Chen, Su Yiran, Lin Yuwei, Ye Qingyue, and Tang Xinyi stood onstage, the skyline ablaze behind them.

"This is only the beginning… of the Nova Dynasty."
And together, they stepped into the rising sun.
