Victoria sneered, spitting blood onto the concrete. "It's already uploading, Elena. Look at the monitor."

Across the room, a laptop screen showed a progress bar at 92%. Marcus, staggering from his injuries, dragged himself toward the computer. "I can't stop the encryption bypass, Elena! It's too complex!"

"Destroy the physical server, Marcus!" Elena shouted. "The black box under the desk!"

Marcus grabbed a metal pipe from the floor and smashed the server casing repeatedly until the screens went black and the progress bar vanished forever. The duplicate ledger was destroyed.
