The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 792

Chapter 792

Hayley finally had the address of the Sovereign Research Institute.

That alone was a massive breakthrough.

Back when she agreed to take part in the mission to rescue Kurt, she had already suspected Ascendant Creed wouldn’t keep their word.

The problem was, they were too elusive. She knew almost nothing about them.

If she wanted Ruby back, she only had two options: walk straight into their hands and sacrifice herself… Or play along, take their missions, and slowly dig up everything she could.

So she chose the trial to rescue Kurt.

In the end, she didn’t get Ruby back. Still, she did pry the location of the Sovereign Research Institute out of Kurt’s mouth.

Hayley turned to the whiteboard and wrote four names in bold letters.

The Sovereign Academy, the Sovereign Research Institute, Sovereign Industries, and the Sovereign Legion.

She drew a heavy X across the Sovereign Academy.

Then her marker hovered before landing beside the Sovereign Research Institute. She pinned a small magnetic arrow into it

Right then, a familiar chime rang in her head.

Ding! [Super Lord System activated! Lord of Lords quest initiated!

[Defeat enemies to gain renown. Each increase in renown will upgrade your territory. Combat power, defense, and production

will all be enhanced. Reward: Renown Gift Pack.]

Hayley’s dull, stormy eyes suddenly lit up.

Perfect timing! A system boost, right when she needed it most.

A Lord of Lords quest…

Good.

She would see just how far she could use this advantage to climb her way to the top, step by step.

And she would take her league with her, straight into a fight against Ascendant Creed.

Her confidence surged all over again.

A knock sounded at her office door.

Liam, Milo, and Alex walked in together. The second they saw her, they all visibly relaxed.

“Hayley, you okay?” Liam asked, concern clear in his voice.

“I’m fine.”

“So what’s the plan for that old guy?” Milo raised a brow.

“Keep him at the base for now. Don’t let him or his dog starve. The most important thing is, keep a tight watch.”

“Got it.”

Alex frowned. “What about next? They broke the deal. We didn’t get to make the exchange. Are we just letting this go

“No way.” Hayley turned to face them. “I already said it. They’d better be ready.

“I’m gonna make them understand what it costs to take Aunt Ruby. Let’s see if they can still sit back like nothing happened.

“Starting now, evacuate two-thirds of our people to the three Ark bases. Only keep essential personnel for operations. Haylight League headquarters and all three Ark bases go into full combat readiness.

“If they don’t give Aunt Ruby back, I’m taking this all the way.”

People with nothing to lose fight differently.

The less you have, the harder you bite. You don’t back down. Once you latch on, you don’t let go. Even if the enemy was a giant, you could still claw your way up, inch by inch, until you were standing over them.

Sovereign Research Institute…

Hayley was coming for them.

The next day, a helicopter cut through the sky toward the coordinates Kurt provided.
