Chapter: The President's Wrath
Adam reappeared in his room with a faint shimmer, the teleportation from Lisa's city park leaving the air around him momentarily distorted.
The quiet hum of his surroundings brought a stark contrast to the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind.
Leaning against the doorframe, Adam rubbed his temple, pondering Lisa's actions. "Why would she take such a step?" he muttered to himself. The decision to bring a complete stranger into her home baffled him. Was it compassion? Recklessness?
Shaking his head, he pushed the thought aside. There were more pressing matters at hand.
Suddenly, the vibration of his phone snapped him out of his reverie. The sensation was subtle yet insistent.
Adam's instincts sharpened immediately—this was not a mundane notification. The distinct pulse told him it was a secured alert, most likely from Pratham or one of his most trusted operatives.
