CHAPTER 51
The man’s voice was distorted by the visor, deep and mechanical, but the intent behind his words was sharp enough to slice through Sophia’s bones and send Chills through her. Her first instinct was to run. Her second was to scream.Neither would save her.The figure tilted his head, studying her like an object in a lab jar. “I’m actually seeing you in the flesh. It’s an honor,” he murmured, almost to himself, before taking a slow step forward.Sophia’s grip tightened on the respirator mask. “I don’t know who you are,” she said, her voice shaking despite her effort to sound firm. “But you’re making a mistake.”He chuckled—a cold, humorless sound. “It’s no mistake, I assure you. You’re worth more than the Cold Cell, more than Cipher… more than you even realize.”Sophia’s mind spun, confused. What did he mean? Worth more than Malachi in what way exactly? Before she could ask, movement flickered behind him.A blur of black and steel.Malachi.He moved like he was a part of the shadow
CHAPTER 52
Third Point Of ViewSophia’s pulse hammered so loud she could hear it in her ears. The gun at her back felt heavier than steel, pressing between her shoulder blades with deliberate malice.Malachi’s stance shifted almost imperceptibly, but she recognized the tell—his weight leaning slightly to his right leg, the subtle angle of his shoulders. He was calculating distance, timing, kill shots.“Drop it,” the masked man said casually, motioning to Malachi’s sidearm. “Slowly.”Malachi didn’t move. His eyes stayed fixed on the man’s visor, like he was trying to see through the reflective surface. “You’ve got the numbers,” he said. “You don’t need the theatrics.”The masked man’s voice carried that same unnerving calm. “Oh, I do. Because I know you—every twitch, every fake feint, every habit you haven’t broken since Black Dagger. And if I let you hold a gun a second longer than I need to…” He tilted his head. “…you’ll kill me before I finish this sentence.”Sophia saw Malachi’s jaw tighten,

Mist drizzled down the cold sky. The sun gradually set. On the outskirts of the city was a tall mansion, painted in white and arraigned like royalty. Inside was a young man, maybe in his twenties… seated on a black lethal chair sipping in a hot coffee. Right beside him was a beautiful lady brushing her hand across his hair. “The God of war planning something against Lord Vikran is indeed true according to our sources…” She blinked and Kenneth nodded.“He hasn't changed one bit after all.” Katherine nodded. “Yeah… our greatest advantage is that little stubborn boy.” Kenneth half-smiled flashing back to some years back. Kenneth and Katherine had once ganged up against Malachi just to make sure he was beaten to a pulp by the teacher… It was all a frame up and a set up lie.And now… they wanted the reality to replay itself. “Cheers to our victory.” Kenneth had a toast to the air with a cheap smile on his face….he already believed he is a victor.Katherine smiled. Grrrring!!!! Kenne

“You are nothing but a shame to this country, a dead beat, a war monger who seeks blood.” Durov Vitan, the head of Durov’s enterprise spat. Chained to the ground, blood on his cracked lips, clothes tattered due to intense beating.Malachi's fierce eyes met his. He rolled up his sleeves, fingers clenched and tooth gritted. He stepped forward, booth echoing across the cemented terrain. The low sound of the drop of water clashing against the ground met his ear.“You don't scare me!” Durov barked. Malachi launched a fierce punch into his stomach. Durov spat blood, letting out a painful groan.“Where is it?” Malachi asked, punching him across the face. Durov smiled widely… and then laughed like a loose dog. “You can't get anything from me.” He managed to say.Malachi gave a final punch across his face and he scrambled to the ground, breathing hard. “You are right….” He turned his back, staring at the gun on the table across from him. “It's a waste of time being civil.” He slowly walked t

Inside a dimly lit room, the air was still. Lord Vikran sat on a golden chair, cigar smoke rising slowly around him. A large screen in front of him showed the faces of three dead men. None of the lieutenants in the room dared to speak.Vikran broke the silence. “They were all killed by one man. The God of War.” His voice was calm but firm.Sadiq, one of the lieutenants, stepped forward. “Sir, Malachi has become a serious threat. He has destroyed three of our outer groups. If we don’t act fast…”Vikran raised his hand. “If we don’t act fast, you will be the next to die. Do you understand me?”Sadiq lowered his head immediately. “Yes, sir.”Vikran rose from his chair and placed the cigar on the edge of the table. “Malachi thinks he can destroy everything I have built. I will make sure his name disappears before sunrise.”He turned to Kenneth and Katherine, who were standing together near the corner. “You two will lead the next move.”Kenneth straightened his posture. “What’s the command

The sun was high when Malachi entered the Afas capital. The city was crowded, the air thick with noise and movement. He drove an old truck and his new identity papers hidden under the seat. To everyone around him, he was now Ravi Singh, an arms dealer from the southern province.He parked near an old warehouse and stepped out. Two men in black jackets approached him. One of them spoke quickly. “Ravi Singh?”Malachi nodded. “That’s me.”“The boss wants to see you,” the man said. “He’s inside.”Malachi followed them through a narrow path that led into the warehouse. Inside, several workers were sorting boxes. A man stood near a table, smoking. He looked up when Malachi entered.“I’m Imran,” the man said. “You came from the south?”Malachi gave a short nod. “The roads are clear. I brought what you asked for.”Imran dropped his cigarette and crushed it under his shoe. “Show me.”Malachi walked to the truck and opened one of the crates. Inside were rows of disassembled rifles.

“Colonel Ramesh?” the voice at the gate called.“Open it,” Ramesh replied. His hand shook slightly.The gate hissed. Two men in gray coats walked in. One smiled too widely. “Colonel, we come with news.”Ramesh did not rise from his chair. “Sit and speak.”They sat. The taller one leaned forward. “We only want to talk about old contracts.”Ramesh watched their hands. “You work for whom?”The shorter man laughed. “We work for those who pay.”Ramesh’s fingers tightened on the armrest. “Tell your employer that I do not sell out old debts.”The taller man reached under his coat. Ramesh moved faster. He stood and kicked the chair to the side. He hit the taller man in the chest. The man doubled over. The shorter man drew a knife. Ramesh grabbed a lamp and swung it. It struck the man on the head. He fell.The taller man recovered and lunged. Ramesh shot him twice. The first bullet hit his shoulder. The second hit his leg. He collapsed and tried to crawl. Ramesh stepped forward and fired again

Kenneth stood by the glass window in his office, watching the street below. His phone rang. He picked it up. “I need a plan that will not fail this time,” he said.The voice on the other end replied calmly. “You want him alive or dead?”Kenneth answered, “Alive if possible, but I don’t care anymore. Malachi must not see the next sunrise.”“Then use someone he trusts,” the voice said.Kenneth frowned. “He trusts no one.”“There is one,” the voice replied. “Agent Darien. They fought side by side in the last war. Darien owes me a debt. I can make him cooperate.”Kenneth turned from the window. “Find him. Bring him here.”The call ended. Kenneth placed his phone on the desk and rubbed his temples. Katherine walked in a few minutes later.“You called for me,” she said.“Yes,” Kenneth said. “I’ve decided to use Malachi’s past against him. There’s an agent named Darien. He used to fight beside Malachi. If we can make him send a message, Malachi will follow it without question.”Katherine cro

"I can’t stay here long,” Malachi said, voice low.“You should not stay at all,” Tara replied as she tore a strip of cloth. “This place smells like it has been empty for years.”“I need time to think,” he said. “And to patch this.” He lifted his shirt and showed the wound.Tara did not flinch. “This looks deep. You should let me stitch it properly.”“I will be fine,” he said. “Just clean it.”She dipped the cloth in water and pressed it to the cut. “You will get an infection if you do this wrong.”“I have done worse,” he said.Tara worked without hurry. “Tell me where it hurts.”“Here,” he said, pointing. “But it will not stop me.”“You are bleeding,” she said. “You will pass out if you keep walking.”“I will not sleep until this is over,” he said.“You promised Ramesh you would be careful,” Tara said. “Didn’t you?”“Promises mean little on a battlefield,” he said.“That is not an answer,” she said. “You owe him your life. He sent the drive.”“He sent the drive because he trusted me,”

“Everything is ready,” Sadiq said.“Not yet,” Vikran replied.“What do you mean not yet?” Sadiq asked.“The timers are set,” Vikran said. “The dispersal units are packed. The lab teams move at dawn. We wait for the trigger.”“Which city goes first?” another man asked.“Afas,” Vikran said. “Afas will be the signal.”“You want this now?” the man asked.“I want it clean,” Vikran said. “No leaks. No mistakes.”“You picked Kenneth for activation,” Sadiq said.“He understands logistics,” Vikran said. “He will not fail.”“Katherine?” Sadiq asked. “Is she ready?”“She will do what she must,” Vikran said. “Fear can change hands fast.”“Sir,” Kenneth said, stepping forward. “I will place the device in Afas tonight.”“Make sure the remote is synced,” Vikran said. “Do not touch the manual trigger until I give the order.”“You want me to wait for your call?” Kenneth asked.“Wait for my call,” Vikran said. “If you fail, I will find you.”Kenneth bowed his head. “Understood.”“We move at midnight,”
