247. “MR STONE IF YOU DO NOT ANSWER, YOU WILL BE HELD IN CONTEMPT!” Those words were yelled and the hall had gone silent. The air been tense enough, but what happened next made everyone gasp Devin’s eyes finally caught sight of Petra across the hall. His chest clenched the second he saw her. She was standing somewhat stiffly, and as if she had felt him looking, she turned around and he saw that her eyes had clouded like she wasn’t herself. And right beside her leaning in, was a strange bastard that Devin had sensed earlier. His blood boiled as he watched the exchange. “Petra.” He sighed. “What the fuck is happening now?” Heads turned instantly and people gasped at his tone, shocked that he dared break the calm of the tribunal. The panel of Kia’s family and their allies nodded, his erratic behaviour seeming to work in their favour. The man next to Petra smiled smugly, making Devin’s hands itch to break his jaw. He leaned closer to Petra and pointed right at Devin. Devin

248. “That’s not what is important to me right now, are you alright?” The tribunal hall was buzzing as they heard him, and Petra opened her mouth to answer. Before she could, one of the members of the tribunal stood up and yelled. “Devin Stone! How dare you disrespect us by calling us unimportant?” Devin knew everyone was now staring at him with judgement in their eyes. How the tides had changed, going from most loved to most hated. He stood there, frowning, and Petra went on to hold his arm tightly. She didn’t like all the stares they were getting. Some feet away from them, the Mayor had that smug smile on his face, looking like their discomfort amused him. Another member of the tribunal pounded the table again. “Devin Stone has insulted the tribunal! No one is above the law here!” “He is reckless and we cannot trust such a man!” someone shouted from the seats. “Threatening the Mayor as well? Who does he think he is?” “It’s because he’s wealthy, he thinks he can

249. The road was dark and quiet at first, but Devin knew the peace was a m illusion. His gut had been stable since he left the tribunal with Petra unconscious in the backseat. Dreykov was driving worriedly, and he kept looking into the mirror every few seconds. Devin kept looking at Petra’s pale face. “How the hell is she still out cold?” “She’ll wake, sir, don’t worry.” Dreykov muttered. “She has to.” Devin leaned closer, brushing hair from her cheek. His chest ached. “I swear if that smug bastard mayor did something to her… I will kill him. Why are we not at the hospital yet?” “We’re almost there, just one more turn.” Dreykov said, hoping Devin didn’t direct his anger to him. Suddenly, they heard tyres screeching and two cars had closed in on them on both sides of the road. Within seconds, four black cars had boxed them in, forcing Dreykov to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision, and Petra’s head fell weakly with the sudden stop, her head nearly hitting the se

250. BANG! Devin watched the man fall to the ground with a pool of blood forming behind his head. The others looked on in shock for a few seconds before hurrying to their fallen leader, ignoring Devin now. Dreykov was at his side in an instant. “What happened?” Devin sighed, turning away. “He just shot himself.” “But why?” “‘No time to wonder that, let’s get Petra to the hospital!” The hospital smelled a lot like bleach and sickness, but Devin had no time to think about how uncomfortable it usually made him. He kept concentrating as he carried Petra in his arms, her body limp and damp with sweat. “Help me!” Devin barked the moment he got to the reception. “She’s not breathing right, someone get over here!” A nurse hurried to him. “Set her down, sir, quickly.” “I’m not letting her out of my arms.” Devin growled. “Do something, she’s slipping.” “Sir, please, if you don’t set her down, we can’t—” Petra’s body shuddered weakly against his chest, and that wa
Chapter 251
251. Devin sat slumped in the chair by Petra's bed with his head buried in his hands. His nerves were all over the place and he was tired as fuck, but he had more important things to face. He had stopped talking to Petra a while ago, and had given to just staring at her form. He could see her breathe. She looked so fragile and breakable, nothing like the fiery woman who had screamed at him and sent him out of her house about two weeks ago. Somehow, he couldn’t help but think that this was all his fault, a ball he set in motion. “Once you’re all better, I’ll do whatever you want, take you wherever, anything.” He promised. “Just take care, please.” His phone started to ring suddenly, and he grunted at the way it startled him. He brought it out and frowned at the name on the screen. “Hozier.” He muttered and then picked the call. “You’re only just calling?” "You told me to stay here and watch!” Hozier exclaimed. “It’s a good thing you did, because there’s an emergency now

252. The entire street shook under Devin's boots the second he landed. There was a lot of heavy dust in the air, and smoke was rising from collapsed buildings not to far from them. Sirens were wailing and people were screaming and running about in panic, and he could feel the ground tremble again. The sinkhole wasn't just a hole but a greedy monster, He thought. The thing had opened wide, swallowing cars, streetlights, buildings, people, Pete buildings. The edges crumbled every few seconds, and there were crack lines that stretched from the mouth of the sinkhole to other places, causing everyone nearby to run for their lives. “Sir!" Hozier hurried l towards him. "Finally! I didn't think you'd make it." "Fixing this and leaving. Tell me about it now.” Hozier pointed. “Right there, look at it! It's spreading faster. If it moves another fifty feet, the first part of the labs will be gone. Something has to be done.” "I get it.” Devin snapped. "Shut up and give me spac

253. "Well, if you don't mind, I'd like you to let go of me now." The Mayor said to Devin in a not-so-happy tone. "Gladly." Devin said, suddenly letting go of him. The Mayor stumbled back as Devin released him, nearly falling over but his guards held him up. His face was flushed red, and his carefully combed hair was now a little out of place. Devin didn't give a damn. He glared at the mayor one last time before turning his back on him. "You heard what I told you. Don't forget." He said to the Mayor. The Mayor blinked at him, stunned by what had just happened. "You can't just do that and walk away!" But Devin was already walking away, ignoring him completely. His long strides carried him past the rubble, past the firefighters who now had nothing much to do, the cops, the paramedics, and the hundreds of people who had gathered to watch. His body radiated danger, and he hoped no one was foolish enough to stand in front of him. The crowd wasn't quiet though. "Holy shi

254. The city had been buzzing for hours non-stop about Devin Stone. Everywhere, from coffee shops to late-night bars, people replayed the clips on their phones, whispering and arguing about what they had seen and paparazzi followed him all around, taking photos and videos without this consent. The internet was on fire with shaky videos of him standing over the sinkhole, his hands glowing like they were made of lightning, bending the ground back into shape like it was putty, and there were headlines on every page, every paper. Some were calling him a saviour, while others kept on calling him a freak. By the next morning, the debate had grown too loud to ignore. People were amused, afraid, impressed, and upset. It was so rare to see one person electing so many different emotions at the same time. At the city square, a crowd had gathered. People carried large signs, some hastily painted with “THANK YOU FOR SAVING US, DEVIN!” while others scrawled “FREAKS OUT!” and “NO MORE MUTANTS!
Chapter 255
255. Devin hadn't slept for over to days. His mind was too loud for that, and with everything going on... He hadn't even been able to see Petra as he was constantly being followed, and all that noise and attention would not be good for her in her condition. "I hate this city!" He groaned, slamming his fist on the table. That was ironic because there was a time when he thought the place to be the best place to call his home. Change was constant, he had seen. The noise from outside carried into his head. There were cars, vans, and motorcycles parked all around the estate and there was shouts from randoms, and reporters yelling questions through megaphones even though the gates to his mansion were locked tight. They were disturbing the peace of the place, and his own good state of mind as well. He had seen some headlines on his device, even on the televisions, and on the newspapers he had brought to him every morning. Now he couldn't get the image of Gloria standing in the midst
Chapter 256
256. Devin didn't move. He stood frozen at the door, staring at Amanda like she had just fallen from the sky. "Amanda..." He said, looking and sounding surprised. "There's no way... you're supposed to be dead." Amanda smiled weakly, looking a bit unbalanced as she sighed. "I guess." She shrugged. "But I'm here now. Devin... can I come in? Standing out here like this is making me tired, and a bit nervous." Max got out from behind Devin to look. "Boss, who is this... ghost?" "She's not a ghost." Devin snapped, though he was a bit doubtful. "She's a person who used to work with me before you came here." Amanda's eyes went up to him again. "Please, Devin. Don't leave me standing out here." Devin stepped aside slowly, his eyes never leaving her. Amanda walked in rubbing her arms, her legs a little shaky, and her hands holding on to the frame of the door like she'd fall without it. Dmitri's gun was still raised. "I don't like this. I remember when we got the news th
