#### **Chapter 11: Burning the City**
The Kyro Syndicate, for all its secrecy, was a razor-sharp scalpel. Now, for the first time, it was being wielded like a sledgehammer.
From his university dorm, Kuro became a digital god of vengeance. He didn't just hack W.A.O.; he dismembered its financial infrastructure. He triggered automated stock market trades that wiped out shell corporations The Warden used for funding. He rerouted payroll accounts for his ghost cells to non-existent offshore banks. He flooded their secure communication channels with terabytes of junk data—specifically, hours of high-definition cat videos. Let them watch kittens while their empire burned.
Meanwhile, Renji moved. He made three calls. The first was to a former Russian Spetsnaz operator he'd once saved in Chechnya, a man who now ran a formidable arms-dealing network. The second was to a disgraced MI6 quartermaster who owed him a life debt. The third was to a contact within the Yakuza who respected Kyro's brutal efficiency.
He wasn't calling in allies. He was activating assets. Within hours, W.A.O. safe houses across Europe experienced a series of unfortunate, simultaneous, and catastrophic accidents. Gas leaks. Electrical fires. Structural failures. The Warden's network was being blinded, deafened, and systematically dismantled before he even knew what was happening. This wasn't an attack. It was an extermination.
