Chapter 270
When Carl regained consciousness, he found himself in a hospital room.The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air, the steady beeping of machines echoing faintly in the background. Everything felt too bright… too real.And yet, part of him still wondered if this was just another illusion.Beside him sat Sophia, her face pale with worry, her eyes rimmed with exhaustion as if she hadn’t slept at all.“Carl!” she exclaimed the moment his eyes opened. She leaned closer, her voice trembling. “How are you? Are you in pain? What happened to you back there?”Carl frowned, disoriented, his gaze sweeping across the unfamiliar room.“Where am I?” he asked hoarsely.“You’re in the hospital,” Sophia answered quickly.“How did I get here?” His voice sharpened. “Where is he?”Sophia blinked, confusion flashing across her face.“Who?” she asked. “They found you unconscious in a room. We brought you here right away—you had bruises all over your body.” She hesitated, searching his face. “Carl… what

When Carl arrived in Velmora, he made sure to drop Sophia off at her place first. He didn’t linger, didn’t explain—he simply made sure she was safe.Then he left.Sparrow Mountain was calling him.It was the only place where answers might finally start making sense.The moment he arrived, Ana rushed to meet him, her expression tense and unusually troubled.“Carl! At last, you’re back!” she said, but there was no relief in her voice—only urgency.Carl immediately noticed.“What’s wrong?” he asked, his tone sharpening. “Is Master Aiden okay?”Without waiting for an answer, he strode inside the house, heading straight for the room.When he saw Master Aiden lying on the bed, breathing steadily, his body finally relaxed—just a little.He was still asleep.Still alive.Still holding on.“It’s not Father, Carl,” Ana said from behind him, her voice quieter now. “But… you need to see this.”Carl turned to her, his brows knitting together.Ana stepped out of the room, and he followed without he

A wide smile spread across Carl’s face as he stared at the finished product in his hands.Three pills.Just three.And yet, they carried a power no ordinary medicine could ever hope to match.These tiny creations could cure the rarest, most incurable diseases in the world.They could defy limits.They could rewrite fate.They could even… bring the dead back to life.At least—that was the theory.Carl exhaled slowly, steadying himself.“You did it, Master!” Denver blurted out, his voice filled with awe.Carl said nothing. Carefully, almost reverently, he placed the pills into a small box and closed it.“Clean up,” he ordered.“Yes, Master!” Denver chirped, already rushing to tidy everything.Carl didn’t waste another second.He left the basement and headed straight back into the house, his steps quick but controlled. Every second mattered now.When he entered Master Aiden’s room, the air felt heavier than before.Aiden was still asleep.But this time… something was different.His face

“Tell me everything you know about the Dragon Clan,” Carl said, his voice firm, leaving no room for refusal.Master Aiden slowly sat down on a nearby chair.The difference in him was almost unreal.Just hours ago, he had looked like a man standing at death’s door—pale, frail, barely holding on. Now, it was as if time itself had reversed. His color had returned, his body regained strength, even his presence felt heavier… sharper.Alive.“I never thought we would reach this point,” Aiden began quietly. “I was prepared to take this secret with me to the grave.” His gaze lifted to Carl. “But you… you brought me back.”Carl’s hands clenched at his sides.“So you really had no intention of telling me the truth?” he asked, disbelief seeping into his tone.There was hurt beneath the anger.He had trusted Aiden more than anyone.And yet—this.Aiden shook his head slightly. “It’s not that simple, Carl. This truth… it won’t bring you anything good.” He paused, studying Carl carefully. “You saw h

Carl didn’t know what he was supposed to feel anymore.Everything he had just learned… it was too much.Too heavy.Now it made sense—why he had always felt different. Why, no matter where he went, there was this quiet, lingering sense that he didn’t quite belong.Because he didn’t.He was never ordinary.And the necklace?He had tried to throw it away once.He still remembered it clearly—the moment it left his hand, his breath had been cut off instantly. Like an invisible force had wrapped around his throat, crushing the air out of him.

Carl pushed the door open slowly.The room was dim, the curtains drawn, the air thick with silence.At the center—Sophia’s father lay on the bed.Still.Too still.Carl stepped closer, his expression unreadable. The faint scent of incense lingered, mixed with something else… something metallic, almost imperceptible.Wrong.Everything about this felt wrong.He reached out and checked the man’s pulse.Nothing.Cold.But not completely.Carl’s eyes narrowed.“…Recent,” he murmured under his breath.A heart attack?No.He had seen enough death to know when something didn’t add up.Carl carefully lifted the man’s wrist, examining the veins beneath the skin.Then he saw it.A faint, almost invisible dark line—threading along the vein like a shadow.His gaze sharpened.Poison.But not ordinary poison.Something far more refined.Something… familiar.Carl’s jaw tightened.“Dragon blood derivative…” he whispered.Only the Dragon Clan had access to something like this.Which meant—This wasn’t

Carl wasted no time.He immediately began investigating what had happened to Sophia’s father.He couldn’t afford to make a mistake.This had the signature of the Black Viper Society all over it. And Carl knew this wasn’t just retaliation for disrupting their operations.No.This was bigger than that.More calculated.More personal.Deep down, he was certain—His father had a hand in this.But as the investigation went deeper, something unexpected surfaced.—The mansion doors opened in a rush as Carmela hurried inside, her face tense.Sophia and Carl were in the study room, going over everything they had gathered so far.“Sophia… I just remembered something,” Carmela said, slightly out of breath.She walked straight to her daughter and sat beside her.“What is it, Mom?” Sophia asked, her voice still heavy from grief.Carmela hesitated for a moment before speaking.“Your father… you remember he had debts with the Light before, right?”Sophia nodded slowly.“He told me once… that it was

The road to the Clove Region stretched long and quiet, the kind of silence that made every thought louder than it should be.Carl sat in the passenger seat, eyes fixed ahead, unreadable.Beside him, Sophia tightened her grip on the steering wheel.Neither of them had spoken much since they left Velmora.But the tension between them wasn’t empty.It was heavy—filled with grief, anger… and something neither of them dared to name.“Clove Region is different,” Sophia finally said, breaking the silence. “Business is booming there. Fast. Too fast.”Carl didn’t look at her. “That’s how you know something’s wrong.”Sophia exhaled. “Duane Cruz…”Carl’s jaw tightened slightly.“We won’t find him easily,” he said. “People like him don’t show themselves unless they want to.”“Then where do we start?”Carl’s eyes flickered.“With the people who work for him.”—By the time they reached the city proper, the sun had already begun to set.Clove Region was alive.Bright lights. Towering buildings. Exp

The night deepened as Carl and Sophia made their way toward the docks.Sector 9.The name alone carried weight.Rusting containers. Flickering lights. The distant sound of waves crashing against metal and stone. It was the kind of place where deals were made… and people disappeared.Sophia wrapped her arms around herself, glancing around uneasily. “This place gives me a bad feeling.”Carl didn’t respond.His senses were sharper now—alert, focused.Watching.Then—He stopped.Sophia followed his gaze.Behind them.Footsteps.Slow. Deliberate.Not hiding.Carl turned.The same man from earlier—the one who had spoken—was standing there again.Bruised. Shaken.But still standing.“…You followed us,” Carl said flatly.The man let out a dry laugh. “Didn’t have much of a choice.”Carl’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Explain.”The man raised his hands, not in surrender—but in something closer to exhaustion.“You asked where Duane Cruz is,” he said. “I told you the location. But that’s not the whol

Carl still went to the warehouse.Even after everything Rex had said.Even knowing it was a trap.Because sometimes…The only way forward—Was straight through the fire.—Sector 9 Warehouse stood like a corpse at the edge of the docks.Silent.Waiting.Sophia glanced at Carl as they approached. “I thought you said it was a trap.”Carl didn’t slow down.“It is.”“Then why are we here?”Carl’s eyes darkened.“Because traps only work if you’re afraid to step into them.”Sophia fell quiet.There was something different in his voice now.Something colder.More dangerous.—The moment they stepped inside—The doors slammed shut behind them.Bang.Sophia flinched. “Carl—”Lights flickered on.One by one.Revealing the truth.Figures.Dozens of them.Standing in the shadows.Watching.Waiting.Sophia’s breath caught. “Oh my God…”Dragon Vessels.Not just a few.Not ten.Dozens.All marked.All staring at Carl like predators.Or prey.Carl stepped forward.Slow.Unbothered.“…So this is where
