Chapter 43 - Blake Mercer Finally Asked for Help
Blake hung inside the backup node suspended by black fortune chains.
He looked terrible.
Mason considered this a small cosmic refund.
Then Blake opened his eyes.
"Reed?"
"Don't sound so happy."
"Kill me."
Mason stopped joking.
The Central Clearinghouse was using Blake as a human regulator.
Every time the node destabilized, it drained his future fortune to correct itself.
He had weeks left at most.
Blake laughed weakly.
"My father said this was honor."
Mason examined the chains.
Debt-Cutting Palm could sever them.
But the node would dump its pressure into the apartments above.
House Edge Reversal could redirect it.
But Mason's Karma Vault would overload.
Then Ivy touched his shoulder.
"Share it."
Fortune Dividend.
Mason understood.
He linked Ivy, Tasha, Celeste, Raymond, and even Victor Mercer.
Six people formed a circle around the node.
Mason cut one chain.
The pressure hit all of them.
Tasha screamed, "I am not a cultivator!"
The Ledger answered.
[POTENTIAL DISCIPLE STATUS UPGRADED.]
Tasha's eyes widened.
"Don't you dare."
A copper meridian opened in her chest.
"I hate all of you!"
Mason cut the final chain.
Blake fell into his arms.
For the first time in their lives, Blake Mercer looked at Mason without superiority.
"Why?"
Mason set him down.
"Because I'm trying very hard not to become you."
