Location: Undisclosed Order Compound – Midnight
The compound was impenetrable.
Steel walls. Warded gates. Surveillance runes.
Inside, one of the Order's top lieutenants—Valen Dusk—sat in his fortified office. Calm. Confident.
Until the lights flickered.
And a single file slid out of his encrypted tablet… completely unprompted.
It was a photo.
His bank accounts: emptied.
His properties: seized.
His secret identity: exposed.
And beneath it, two words glowed red.
"Check-In."
— PHANTOM
Scene: The Room Turns Cold
Across the globe, the same thing was happening.
Every lieutenant, shell CEO, and shadow accountant tied to the Order was hit in a coordinated sweep.
Accounts frozen.
Photos leaked.
Locations revealed.
Panic spread like fire.
And Damon?
He watched it all with a smile.
Scene: The Phantom's Feast
In the Phantom's underground war room:
[SYSTEM: ORDER COLLAPSE PROGRESSION – 43%]
[New Territories Claimed: 7]
[Black Market Control – 89%]
[Global Financial Influence – 72%]
Rico (reading a list):
"We now own three major oil companies, two shipping empires, four banks, and… a vampire-run nightclub in Moscow."
Zeke: "Let me run the nightclub."
Elina: "He's serious."
Scene: Political Tremors
In the world's highest places—presidents, kings, corporate heads—began receiving anonymous packages:
Partnership offers.
Blackmail files.
Asset buyouts too large to refuse.
And every signature?
A single name:
PHANTOM ENTERPRISE
The world didn't know who Phantom was.
But they knew this: he now held the strings.
Scene: Private Family Celebration
Back at the estate, the Vales celebrated quietly.
Damon stood with Nova, Arielle, Elina, Zeke, and Rico—overlooking a private stock ticker glowing green.
His wives toasted him.
His children saluted him.
Even the vampires and werewolves… acknowledged him.
Nova: "You've done it."
Arielle: "You now own the world."
Elina: "And not a single soul can stop you."
Damon (smiling): "Then it's time I stopped hiding."
