CHAPTER 741
The heavy steel doors slammed shut behind Maya. Instantly, the room of over fifty armed mercenaries turned their eyes toward Clara, tightening their grips on their weapons, ready to beat the living daylights out of her.Clara was boiling with pure rage. She no longer felt fear; she only felt the burning need to survive, to get out of this trap, and to warn Valthera of the impending storm.The first two hefty guards lunged at her. Clara didn't hesitate. She grabbed the edges of the heavy metal visiting table and used all her strength to flip it forward. The heavy metal slammed into the guards' shins, sending them crashing to the floor. Clara leapt over the table, driving her knee directly into the face of a third attacker, shattering his nose.She was moving like a blur of pure anger. A woman tried to tackle her from the side, but Clara grabbed her by the jacket, spun her around, and threw her headfirst into the thick glass of a nearby vending machine. The glass shattered into a thou
CHAPTER 742
A second later, another car screeched to a halt behind her. Kane jumped out of the vehicle, his face pale and his eyes wide with absolute horror as he stared at the scene. He looked at the blazing inferno, then at Clara, completely speechless.They were too late. The glue holding the Council together was gone.Kane sprinted toward the blazing ruins, his large frame silhouetted against the roaring fire. Clara dropped the motorcycle and ran right behind him, the intense heat blasting against their faces. They kicked through the falling wppds and searched the wreckage, desperately looking for any sign of life.But amidst the glowing embers of what used to be Valthera’s room, they found what looked like her charred, unrecognizable remains.Clara stopped dead in her tracks. Her breath hitched, and a cold dread washed over her. She fell to her knees in the ash, her voice cracking as a desperate scream tore from her throat. "No! Noooo!"The untouchable, immortal Keeper was dead.Hours later
CHAPTER 743
I'm his compound, a light, cool drizzle was constantly falling from the sky, making the air thick, damp. It was the perfect environment for the massive fields of weed he was cultivating.They walked into the main estate, passing heavily armed guards at every corner, until they reached the grand hall. Carl Lin was sitting comfortably on a wooden throne at the far end of the room.They approached him slowly.Carl didn't even look up at first. He was casually petting a small, exotic pet monkey that was resting on his lap. "What brings you to my place?" Carl asked, his tone smooth and lazy. "I heard what happened to Valthera. So sad. Truly. But are you guys not supposed to be mourning her right now?"Clara let out a heavy sigh, stopping a few feet from his throne. "There is no time for mourning, Carl. You are in immediate danger. The same people who killed the Keeper are coming after you next."Carl paused, and then he let out a loud, mocking laugh. "After me?" He leaned forward, a cocky
CHAPTER 744
Dorian paused, resting his hands on the top of his shovel handle. He wiped a mixture of rain and sweat from his eyes, his expression deeply troubled. "Probably both, Clara," he answered softly. "If Isaac truly wants to become the next supreme Keeper of the Council, you are the only real contender left in his way. He has to beat you, humiliate you, and show the Table that you are too weak to lead.""She has already lost!" Kane suddenly snarled, his deep voice cutting through the dark like a knife. He slammed his shovel into the ground with so much force that the wooden handle vibrated violently. He turned his massive body toward Dorian, his eyes wide and bloodshot with pure fury. "Come on, Dorian! Look at her! I mean, look at us right now!"Clara bit her lip, holding back her anger as she stared at the giant man."We are the elite of the underworld!" Kane shouted, gesturing wildly around the dark compound. "We should be honorably burying Valthera right now! "We should be preparing a
CHAPTER 745
Madame Fiona gripped her phone so tightly the glass screen began to crack under her fingernails."After I am done executing your men tonight, I am coming for every single one of you," Maya continued, stepping closer to the camera. Her eyes burned with a psychotic fire. "I killed the grand Dragon Heir, Adrian. And then I sat back, looked at my hands, and said to myself... why should I stop at just him? All of you will be dead very soon! "For years, you monsters have ruled the underworld like gods, looking down on the rest of us. Now, it is finally time for a brand new era."Without a single shred of hesitation, Maya pulled out her gun, turned around, and began systematically opening fire on the kneeling men.BANG! BANG! BANG!The video showed every single lieutenant dropping to the floor, lifeless, while the Council members watched the execution of their entire security infrastructure in real-time. The screen suddenly cut to black, leaving the room in a suffocating, terrifying silence
CHAPTER 746
Clara walked into the office, the heavy door shut behind her.Kane looked up from the table, his eyes turning into slits the moment he saw her. "I thought you would be on your way out of the city by now," he said, his voice deep and angry. "You still have the absolute guts to show your face around here?"Dorian stepped forward, shaking his head. "Take it easy on her, Kane. We have bigger problems right now.""Valthera is still alive," Clara said suddenly.The entire room went completely dead silent. Kane and Dorian both froze, staring at her as if she had just spoken in a language they did not understand."What?" Kane asked, stepping closer to her, his face twisting into an ugly expression of disbelief. "What the hell are you talking about? Both of us saw her charred body with our own two eyes in the ruins. Are you completely out of your mind?"Without saying a word, Clara lifted her left arm and turned her wrist. She showed him the glowing screen of her high-tech wristwatch. "This wa
CHAPTER 747
"Or what?" Valthera asked, a mocking smile appearing on her bloody lips. "You will hit me?""Hit you?" Maya laughed, shaking her head. "You see, you are practically indestructible. I know the legends. Even if I dropped a military bomb right on your head, you would somehow manage to crawl out of the rubble and survive. I heard you are over three hundred years old."Maya stepped closer, her face inches away from Valthera's. "But you know who is not indestructible? Your precious daughter, Clara. With her brother Adrian out of the way, she is completely vulnerable.""And without you around, your little team is incredibly weak. So, tell me, Keeper... are you truly going to sacrifice your own loved ones just to protect your wealthy bosses on the Council?"Valthera stared at her through the dark, her voice low. "I underestimated you, Maya. I assumed you were just a petty artifact collector, like Rootbinder was."Maya smiled, a twisted, proud look on her face. "My old boss used to play small,
CHAPTER 748
"I know the absolute truth," Clara said, her voice steady and sharp. "You are working hand-in-hand with Maya. You are pretending to be the Council's grand savior while you backstab them from the shadows." With a swift, fluid motion, Clara pulled out her pistol and pointed it straight at his chest. "Hand over the device, Isaac. Right now."Isaac let out a loud thst echoed off the walls. "You little brat. You are always trying to play with the big dogs. Do you honestly think you have what it takes to take me down? You came into the underworld not even up to a year ago, and you already think you can run things around here? You are such an absolute fool."Clara didn't blink, her finger resting firm on the trigger."Go ahead," Isaac taunted, his smile growing wider. "Look behind you."Clara’s heart skipped a beat. She slowly glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes widened in absolute shock. Kane was standing right there at the mouth of the alley, his massive frame blocking the light, pointing
CHAPTER 749
The next day, Clara arrived at the city square an hour earlier than the scheduled time, her hands stuffed deep into her jacket pockets."Maya is completely ruthless, Clara," Kane said in a low voice as they walked along the perimeter of the empty square. "The second she gets her hands on that train data, she will kill everyone left on the high table. She won't leave any witnesses.""That is exactly why I am counting on you," Clara replied quietly, stopping near the edge of a tall brick structure. She pointed her finger upward toward the rooftop of a massive building overlooking the square. "Set up your high-powered sniper rifle up on that roof right now. If anything goes south during the exchange, you know exactly what to do."Kane looked down at her, a newfound respect shining in his dark eyes. "Don't worry, Clara. If she plays dirty, I will put a high-caliber bullet right through her skull." He let out a long, heavy sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. "And... I am truly sorry for un
CHAPTER 750
A tall, familiar figure in a police uniform stepped forward through the crowd of officers. "I've got this one!" a loud, firm voice called out.Clara looked up, her breath catching in her throat. It was Henry. The last time they had seen each other, she had betrayed his trust completely, leaving him handcuffed to a pipe in his own room so she could escape into the dangerous underworld. Now, looking up at him from the cold asphalt, Clara could barely hold eye contact. Shame and guilt washed over her."I did what I had to do, Henry," Clara whispered, her voice trembling.Henry’s face remained completely stoic. He did not look mad, but his eyes were entirely devoid of the warmth he used to have for her. "It doesn’t matter," he replied flatly, his voice professional and cold. "Do you honestly think I am just going to let you go after everything?"Clara knew she had no excuses left. She slowly stretched out her wrists toward him. Henry didn't hesitat;, he pulled a pair of handcuffs from hi
