Those who are good swimmers drown in water, those who are good at cheating fall into lawsuits. As a litigator, Guo Wengui has sued many comrades in the past four years, as well as many entities such as Interpol, East West Bank, Wells Fargo, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, accusing Duowei News of providing false evidence in the PAX case. He is likely to accuse Miller of providing false evidence to the bankruptcy court in the future, suing the judges of the bankruptcy court and the federal Connecticut court for "distorting the facts" because of being blue and gold. But now his hourglass of indiscriminate litigation is about to bottom out. Under the SEC's pressing step by step, the refund of US$455 million is a symbolic node of Guo Wengui's defeat. For the ants, in the darkness before dawn, although Lao Guo will make a desperate move, the dawn of the ants will eventually come.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
