Capítulo 18: Part 17
The road stretched before me, dark and winding, as I drove toward the coordinates. The night was eerily quiet, the hum of the engine the only sound breaking the stillness. My mind buzzed with questions. Who was this mysterious contact? Why now? I had spent years in isolation, planning my ascent into chaos, and suddenly, someone had appeared, claiming to understand.
The possibilities were endless. Could this be a remnant of the organization, someone who had seen my broadcast and decided to act? Or was it someone entirely new, an unknown player who had been watching from the shadows? Either way, I wasn't about to walk into this blind.
The car's headlights cut through the darkness, revealing a desolate landscape of trees and rocky terrain. No civilization in sight. Whoever had chosen this meeting place knew how to stay hidden. I admired that.
As I approached the coordinates, my GPS signaled that I had arrived. I pulled off the road into a clearing, turning off the engine and stepping out into the cold night air. The silence was oppressive now, thick and heavy. My senses heightened, every instinct on alert.
I scanned the area, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. In the center of the clearing stood a single figure, cloaked in shadow. They were still, waiting, exuding a calmness that unsettled me. I took a few steps forward, my boots crunching against the gravel.
"Psychobi," the figure said, their voice smooth, almost familiar. "You came."
I stopped a few meters away, maintaining my distance. "You're the one who sent the message."
They nodded, stepping into the faint moonlight. Their features were sharp, their eyes keen, but there was something in their gaze—something calculating. "You've made quite an impression. The world is watching, and so are others like me."
"Others?" I narrowed my eyes. "Who are you?"
The figure smiled faintly. "Call me Solomon. Like you, I've seen the cracks in this world, and like you, I've taken steps to reshape it. But unlike you, I've learned the importance of alliances."
I crossed my arms, not letting my guard down. "I don't need alliances. I've done fine on my own."
"Have you?" Solomon tilted his head slightly. "You've set the world on fire, but fire spreads. Chaos is unpredictable. You need someone who can help you control it before it consumes everything—including you."
There was a pause, and I felt a flicker of doubt. Control had always been my goal, but the scale of what I had unleashed was immense. Could there be truth in what he said?
"I'm listening," I said, my voice steady.
Solomon took a step closer. "You've destabilized the system. Now, we need to guide its collapse. There's a network—leaders, influencers, operatives—who've been waiting for someone like you. They see the same flaws in the system, but they lack the courage to act. You've shown them what's possible. I can connect you to them."
I studied him carefully. His words were persuasive, but trust wasn't something I gave easily. "And what do you want in return?"
His smile widened. "To be part of the future. A future we build together, one where we shape the new world instead of letting the remnants of the old one reclaim it."
His offer was tempting, but there was something more behind his calm demeanor. He was playing a game, just like me. But what was his angle?
"I don't need a partner," I said, testing him. "I need loyalty. Can you give me that?"
Solomon's eyes glinted in the moonlight. "Loyalty isn't given—it's earned. Let me prove my value. Together, we can bring this world to its knees and rebuild it stronger."
A long silence stretched between us. The air was thick with tension, both of us waiting for the other to make the next move.
Finally, I nodded. "I'll give you a chance. But if you betray me, you'll regret it."
Solomon extended his hand, and after a moment's hesitation, I shook it. His grip was firm, his eyes unwavering.
"You won't regret this," he said, his voice filled with quiet confidence.
I released his hand, stepping back. "We'll see. For now, tell me about this network."
Solomon's smile remained, but his eyes grew serious. "There's much to discuss. But not here. Follow me."
He turned and began walking deeper into the forest. I hesitated for a moment before following.
Whatever this was, it was only the beginning. Solomon had opened a door, and I was stepping through it. The world was changing, and I would be the one to shape its future—whether Solomon proved to be an ally or just another pawn.
One thing was certain: the game had just entered a new phase, and I intended to play it to win.
