Chapter 1451
King.
Anyone who had ever touched a keyboard in the cybersecurity world knew that
name.
King was practically worshipped as a digital deity.
Legend had it that King once single-handedly dismantled three international underground data syndicates in a single night.
During a massive global cyber-war, King had paralyzed the entire server infrastructure of a hostile state that had dared to attack Elyndor.
King had also personally halted a catastrophic short attack orchestrated by Wall Street elites, preventing an economic collapse that would have devastated multiple countries.
It was a name enshrined on the highest pedestals of every elite hacker forum on the dark web.
No one knew King’s true identity.
No one knew if King was a man or a woman, young or old.
All they knew was that when King struck, King never lost.
And right now, the tracing methodology Serena was executing was the undisputed, unmistakable signature of The Code Sovereign.
Jasper puffed out his chest, lifting his chin as if he were the one being worshipped. “That’s right! My little sister is the legendary King! Tremble before her greatness p>
The comms channel with The Federal Oversight Task Force erupted into absolute chaos:
“She’s actually King p>
“Miss Serena is King p>
“Oh my god p>
“We were just running a synchronized op with King p>
“Holy shit… I’m on a live feed with King p>
“Shut up! Don’t distract her p>
“How on earth is the Lancaster Heiress the greatest hacker in the world p>
“I always thought King was some bald, fifty-year-old dude in a basement p>
The audio feed was a mess of panicked awe.
Serena frowned slightly.
Nicholas immediately looked up, his voice cutting through the noise like a blade. “Quiet p>
Just one word.
The comms channel went dead silent instantly.
Serena’s fingers accelerated to a blinding pace.
Less than a minute later.
The frantic red warnings on the screen abruptly vanished.
Every offshore server that had been in the process of wiping was forcefully locked
down into a state of suspended animation.
Stunned disbelief echoed from the federal technicians. “It stopped p>
“The purge command was terminated p>
“The remaining offshore data is secure p>
From the moment the self-destruct was triggered to the moment it was brutally suffocated.
Under a minute.

This was the terrifying power of The Code Sovereign.
In that moment.
The way everyone looked at her fundamentally shifted.
Reverence.
Awe.
And a profound sense of numbness.
They suddenly felt that no matter what other impossible identities Serena Lancaster revealed, it would all make perfect sense.
After all, this was the woman whom
the world’s top medical pioneers called their mentor, the woman who commanded the absolute respect of the federal task force and the

begged for a title.
Adding “King of the Dark Web” to her resume?
It honestly fit perfectly.
Jasper stared at the screen, his eyes shining as if he were looking at a priceless
artifact. “You are literally my god p>
Serena ignored him.
Her cold eye’s remained locked on the fragmented data pulled from the destroyed chip. This wasn’tjesi ä standard purge chip. There was something hidden inside the core p>
The men immediately leaned in. “What is it p>
Serena hit the final execute command.
In the center of the screen, the fractured, hidden files were slowly pieced together.
Most of the data was irreparably corrupted.
But two specific text strings glowed ominously on the black background.
[Raven]
Attached to that string were fractured coordinates and terms.
Whitecliffe Harbor.
Project Zero-Transit.
Julian’s eyes turned lethal. “The Raven p>
Then came the second string. [A.Y.S]
The moment she saw those three letters, Serena’s fingers paused for a fraction of a second.
A.Y.S.
She didn’t need to think twice to know exactly who those initials belonged to.
