Episode 2

VIP BOOTH- UPPER DECK

Jeon Jungkook claws tapped once,then twice against the railing. His eyes didn't leave the boy.

Small, fragile looking. Weak by any practical measure. But the scent,the pulse, something in his resonance vibrated against every buried instinct his people had carried for generations. The lore whispered it. The old stories. "A vessel of ruin. A vessel of rebirth. Hidden in flesh. Shaped as prey,but harbinger of world." It could not be. But every cell in him said otherwise.".......Mine." The word was not spoken. It pulsed through his bones. "Sixty thousand....." Jeon Jae-hyung voice bored, skeptical, but with the edge of a predator noticing prey out of place. " For that?"

Justin grinned, teeth sharp,as his finger flicked over his hacked data pad. " His ID chip glitches every time. I scan it. That is not normal." Jungguk said nothing. His glowing core pulsed once, twice. The boy presence wrapped the energy around him, subtle but real. Jaegguk physics chains tighten, unseen. A ripple of static moved through the ether. He whispered, " A fractured, living, walking." Down below, the bids started. Reluctant. Then greedy number flashing. "Seventeen thousand."

" Nineteen."

" Twenty - two."

" Twenty - five. No, twenty-eight."

Fastest now. Not because anyone understood what he was,but because nobody did. And that made him dangerous. Tae lifted his chin, jaw clenched. His eyes,sharp, angry, defiant, darted back to the upper balcony. He felt them. Watching, hunting, choosing. " No cage holds me." The whisper was here alone. "Not this time." Somewhere in the walls, the power flickered. Just s pulse. Just a warning. And beneath the auction floor, the first explosive charge armed itself with mechanical click. And before Tae could register what was happening. It started small at first - Just a flicker of the hologram above his head. Then everything started sending sparks across the platform. Voice roaring over the static in confusion. That's when it started. Everything flickered off one last time before the floor started to tremble.

A heavy, pulsing boom - boom - boom sounded below him. Not the sound of a mulfunction. Not a cincidence purpose. "wait, what's that?" Someone muttured. One boom after another, louder each time. A red warning light spiraled into life over the back entrance. The security drones along the ceiling twitched,then sparked.

One after another. Dropping like dying insects. " System error. Turret offline. Zone breach, Zone breach." A scream shattered the rising panic as the side blast doors, thick slabs of composit steet, were blown inward. Fire and debris exploded into the auction, slamming buyers, guards, and a slaves alike inwalls and railings.

Chaos. Pure, perfect chaos.

Tae didn't flinch this time. His body curled instinctively, the shock collar buzzing uselessly as the system it connected to shorted out. A spray of concrete dust coated his skin. Blood, someone else's splattered at his feet. His wide, sharp eyes snapped upward.
