Chapter 1116 “My DNA,” Skye said. “My biometric signature. My father — he stole the admin access before he died. He encrypted the backdoor and locked it to his bloodline.” She reached for the chip. Her hand hovered over it. “If I access this,” Skye said, “there’s no going back.

Chapter 1115 The helicopter hovered low, laying down covering fire. Gabriel’s men were retreating, overwhelmed by the sudden air superiority. Alistair gunned the engine.
