Chapter 42: Golden Murdock (5)
The night in Eastern Babel was a feast of light, woven by thousands of neon signs and holograms.
Waves of light continuously surged and shattered against the glass façades of high-rise buildings, conjuring splendid illusions.
At the center of that light stood Titan Tech's Eastern Branch.
A 258-story building towering in the heart of the city loomed over the metropolis like the throne of a god.
From the top-floor office, surrounded by transparent reinforced glass, the entire city could be seen at a glance, and the dazzling lights outside cast a soft glow throughout the room.
But the office of Dominic Krylov, Titan Tech’s Director of Development located on that top floor, was wrapped in a silence completely detached from the city's noise.
"...What did you just say?"
Dominic’s voice echoed through the office.
The report the staff member had just delivered still rang in his ears.
"The secret lab was destroyed?"
"Yes, Director."
The staff member's voice trembled.
