It was a highly sophisticated, surgically implanted neural blocker. A military-grade micro-device specifically designed to scramble memory recall and completely suppress highly classified information.
Vincent’s heartbeat slowed to a calm, terrifying rhythm. He realized his own trusted circle had intentionally implanted the device to keep him completely neutralized while they quietly stole his entire empire.
An extreme close-up captured Vincent lowering his hand. He stared blankly ahead, his pale eyes radiating pure, unfiltered, and absolute demonic fury.
A subtle, incredibly powerful emotional pause hung in the dead air.
