Brighton Sanctum had issued a top-secret directive at exactly 10.38 p.m. tonight to shoot down an AN-LUSL transport aircraft, serial number A-0001, passing over the southern Mistral Depths region of Draconia.
Catherine immediately recognized the true significance behind that specific aircraft.
There was only one such modified AN-LUSL in the entire world.
A year ago, the Aldridges had spent 10 billion acquiring this colossal, state-of-the-art transport plane.
Then they poured another 10 billion into custom refitting it—transforming it into a skybound mansion, a luxurious airborne business jet unlike anything else on Earth.
And all of it—for just one person.
This person wasn't a president, nor a tech billionaire. No. They were someone far more mysterious.
To the rest of the world, the identity of this individual remained an enigma.
But Catherine knew.
Now, with orders from Brighton Sanctum demanding its destruction, it was clear they expected her to use the superweapon system Robin had entrusted to her.
For a moment, Catherine was thrown into turmoil.
She even wondered if the secretive command had been forged.
Just as she was about to march into Brighton Sanctum and confront them face-to-face, the secure line from Brighton rang.
Before the caller could even speak, Catherine was already shouting questions.
But Brighton Sanctum offered no explanation—only repeated the instruction: the order must be carried out.
Catherine was baffled. Nothing made sense.
After weighing the possibilities, she made her decision.
