I looked over the eight names displayed above the AI watch, eyes narrowing as I studied each entry. After a moment, I spoke again, voice low.
"Among these, who is the leader-like figure? Who actually holds the real power?"
The AI processed the query almost instantly. A soft chime sounded, and the holographic display shifted, highlighting one name in particular while the others dimmed.
Morgana.
According to the compiled data, she was the one who controlled the organization's finances. Banks, offshore accounts, shell companies, funding channels — nearly every major monetary artery of SHADOW ultimately passed through systems she either owned or heavily influenced. In practical terms, she held the purse strings of the entire network.
I stared at the highlighted profile for a long second, then let out a quiet, almost admiring breath.
"…She's a real empress."
