Aaron stood silently in the night, the cold wind brushing against his face. His chest rose and fell violently, his clothes soaked in blood. But he had no time to care about his wounds—because compared to physical pain, the real danger was just beginning.
Five hundred million dollars.
This wasn’t just a large sum; in the world of blockchain, it was enough to make countless hackers, financial moguls, and government agencies turn their sights on him.
And this fortune didn’t come from traditional financial systems—it was the spoils of his smart contract counterattack against the Dark Alliance. In other words, he had stolen a massive underground fortune.
His terminal screen flickered wildly. Hackers, bounty hunters, and even government financial security agencies from around the world were sending scan requests at an insane rate—attempting to track his accounts thousands of times per second!
[Warning: Global Tracking Protocol Activated]
[The Dark Alliance, in cooperation with multiple underground organizations, has placed a $10,000,000 USDT bounty on your account.]
[Current number of active trackers: 14,582]
[Estimated time until successful location: 5 minutes]
“Damn it!”
Aaron’s expression darkened. He knew he had exactly five minutes to completely erase any trace of these funds—or the consequences would be catastrophic!
Aaron’s fingers flew over his terminal. He had to make this fortune disappear in the shortest time possible. If he failed, even if no one could steal the money outright, his identity and location would be completely exposed!
His eyes flashed with ruthless determination as he initiated a series of insane contract executions.
[Executing Contract: "Distributed Asset Splitting"]
[Target: $500 Million Assets]
[Execution Status: In Progress…]
[Assets successfully split across 7,000 independent wallets worldwide]
[Executing Secondary Contract: "Anonymized Mixing"]
[Funds connected to deep liquidity pools—estimated tracking success rate dropped to 0.3%]
[Executing Tertiary Contract: "NFT Disguise"]
[Portion of assets converted into 99,999 high-value NFTs]
[Globally circulating—estimated tracking time increased by +24 hours]
His hands never stopped. Every second was a race against time.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
His mind pushed itself to the limit, leveraging every piece of technology at his disposal—rapidly dispersing funds, using decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT markets to disguise assets under different forms of transactions.
“Hah… You think you can find me? Not a chance.”
He had spent years mastering the art of financial camouflage in the blockchain world—no one could hide better than him.
But just as Aaron was accelerating his operations, a new emergency notification popped up on his screen—
[Warning: Global Financial Regulators Have Intervened]
[FBI, Europol, and the Asian Financial Security Alliance are now jointly tracking your financial movements]
[Estimated difficulty of asset laundering: HELL LEVEL]
“…They moved this fast?!”
Aaron’s pupils contracted. He had expected it to take at least a few hours before the regulators reacted—but the Dark Alliance’s influence was terrifying. They had mobilized multiple international financial watchdogs within minutes!
At this moment, he finally understood—
He wasn’t just fighting the Dark Alliance anymore.
Even governments were now after him!
He was now globally wanted.
Aaron’s brain operated at full capacity. His heartbeat pounded in his ears.
Then—his lips curled into a cold smile.
If they wanted to track him… he’d send them into a labyrinth of infinite deception instead.
His fingers slid across the terminal once more, executing an extremely advanced smart contract—
[Executing Contract: "On-Chain Labyrinth Protocol"]
[Mode: Data Corruption]
[Target: All Active Trackers]
“BZZT—!”
Instantly, every tracking request on the blockchain was redirected into over 10,000 fake transaction pathways!
Whether it was hackers or government agencies, all of them were now seeing falsified financial records—ones that led to dead ends, false leads, and ghost accounts.
“Have fun chasing shadows…”
Aaron smirked, his heartbeat finally stabilizing.
One minute later—
The global tracking system failed.
Hackers raged. Government officials were confused. The Dark Alliance was furious.
But no one—no one—could find Aaron’s real location.
His $500 million fortune was now completely secure.
Aaron slumped against a wall, breathing heavily.
This time, he hadn’t just won—he had humiliated the entire underground world.
But just as Aaron thought he could take a brief moment to catch his breath, his terminal screen flashed red with a chilling alert—
[Warning: World-Class Bounty Hunter "Black Emperor" Has Issued a Personal Contract on You]
[Bounty: $100,000,000 USDT]
[Hunt Duration: Unlimited]
Aaron’s pupils shrank. His expression turned ice-cold.
Black Emperor…?
That was one of the deadliest assassins in the world. No one who had ever been targeted by him had survived longer than 24 hours.
“…So, the real hunting game is just beginning.”
Aaron’s gaze turned sharp, his fists clenching.
He had to become stronger—or this time, he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow.
