From Trash to Tycoon: The Shenhao Rise

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Monaco Mission



Location: Côte d'Azur – Private Jet Airspace, En Route to Monaco

The engines hummed beneath the floor of the jet, but inside, the silence was razor-sharp.

Bai Chen sat in the leather command chair, reading through the classified Shenhao System report on the Black Veil Project.

A virus that could digitally erase wealth across the globe. Crypto, smart contracts, NFTs, digital banks—gone with a single global launch.

It wasn't just a business war now.

It was economic terrorism.

System Prompt: High-Level Emergency Mission

🔥 Mission: "Disarm the Black Veil Project"

Location: Monaco, secret lab beneath Maison d'Or casino

Scene: Jet Cabin – Mission Briefing

Su Yiran sat beside him, legs crossed, sharp in a sleek tactical suit.

"This is no simple operation," she said, scanning the files. "If that virus activates, 80% of the world's digital money will disappear. Black Nine won't just get rich… they'll become gods."

Nadia stood by the mini-bar, swirling her wine.

"And yet, we're walking into a casino. How poetic."

Bai Chen smirked. "Let them play roulette. I came to flip the entire table."

Landing: Monaco – 11:47 PM

A black SUV waited on the tarmac. The driver was already paid in crypto. No questions.

They arrived at the Maison d'Or casino in under 15 minutes.

From the outside, it looked like luxury and glamour. But beneath the glitz, Shenhao System scans detected encrypted servers, motion-triggered weapons, and at least 20 hidden agents.

Scene: Inside the Casino

Nadia led the way, dressed in a golden slit gown that turned every head.

Su Yiran moved with practiced grace, disguised as a visiting investment lawyer from Geneva.

Bai Chen, in a white tuxedo, passed as an international VIP—one who could buy the building if he wanted.

🧠 System Buff Active: "Elite Aura" – +50% deception success rate in high-society missions

They were escorted to the private VIP lounge by casino security.

But Bai Chen's gaze was already locked on a suspicious man across the room: dark suit, silver tie, Black Nine pin barely visible.

"I've got eyes on one," he whispered into the mic.

Su Yiran responded, "Let me handle that."

She moved smoothly to intercept, initiating a fake conversation that ended with a sharp twist—a USB virus slipped into his phone. She walked away before he even knew what hit him.

Underground Infiltration Begins

In the VIP restrooms, Nadia removed her earrings and lipstick tube—each a concealed tool. The lipstick extended into a laser cutter. The earring projected the thermal grid on her smart lens.

Bai Chen removed a wall panel behind the sink, revealing the maintenance shaft.

All three slipped inside.

The crawl space led them directly toward Vault Level B2.

⚠️ Alert: Thermal Trap Detected

🧠 Required Action: Reverse heat-pulse timer via Shenhao Core

Bai Chen tapped into the system.

His fingers danced as code scrolled.

Beads of sweat trickled down his temple.

✅ Override Success – Safe Path Opened

They reached the final chamber—where a transparent cube hovered mid-air, containing a black micro-core pulsing with red light.

The Black Veil Virus.

Final Lockdown – Trap Activated

Suddenly, klaxons blared.

Steel doors slammed shut.

Lasers lit the room.

And the screen flashed:

"UNAUTHORIZED PRESENCE DETECTED. BLACK VEIL INITIATION IN 10 MINUTES."

Su Yiran cursed under her breath. "It's a failsafe!"

Nadia shouted, "We need to extract the core—now!"

Bai Chen Steps Forward

He stared at the core, raising his hand.

The Shenhao ring pulsed.

The virus recognized its creator's DNA fragments.

🔓 Master Override Option: "Purge Black Veil Code"

Risk: System overload for 30 seconds

If failed = permanent lock

He didn't hesitate.

"Begin overwrite," he commanded.

System Override in Progress… 10%… 35%... 67%...

Sweat dripped down his jaw.

Sparks flew. The lights flickered.

"Hold the perimeter!" he yelled.

Su Yiran drew a weapon from her thigh strap. Nadia pulled out a paralyzing dart launcher.

From the far corridor—Black Nine guards burst in.

Gunfire echoed. Walls shook.

99%… 100%

Bai Chen collapsed to one knee for a second, catching his breath.

The core was now blank.

He rose slowly, victorious.

"You're done, Black Nine," he said.

"And I'm just getting started."

As dawn broke over the French Riviera, Bai Chen stood alone on the rooftop.

Nadia and Su Yiran watched him silently from the distance, both knowing the truth.

This wasn't just about getting rich anymore.

Bai Chen wasn't just a Shenhao.

He was becoming a legend.
