Cold.That was the first thing Logan felt when his body slammed into the surface of the river.The black water immediately swallowed him into darkness. The sound of rain above slowly faded away, replaced by a suffocating silence.Logan’s body sank deeper and deeper.The black suit he was wearing felt heavy. His breath slowly ran out. His chest burned as the last bit of air disappeared from his lungs.But strangely… he wasn’t scared.For the first time in a long while, his mind actually felt calm.No bills to think about. No job. No pressure. No disappointment.All the pain slowly disappeared along with his body sinking deeper into the river.Dark. Silent.And the deeper Logan sank… the more he felt like something was waiting for him down there.Until finally… something moved.His body suddenly felt hot. Extremely hot.The heat spread from his chest through his entire body like thousands of needles stabbing into his bones and muscles at the same time.Logan instantly opened his mouth t

The apartment suddenly felt a lot quieter.Logan was still standing near the window, staring at the black sedan below. The car sat under the dim glow of the streetlight, like a dark shadow that was deliberately waiting.And for some reason… Logan could feel something was wrong.“Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong?” Alexa asked softly without taking her eyes off the outside.Logan gave a small nod.“I’m very sure. They really said the target has been found.”Reyn immediately stood up from the sofa. His expression, which had been relaxed a moment ago, turned serious.“Damn it.”He quickly walked toward a small table near the kitchen and opened the bottom drawer. Logan briefly thought the man was reaching for a weapon.But Reyn instead pulled out several old phones, a small hard drive, and a black laptop.“What are you going to do?” Logan asked.“Just in case.”“From who?”Reyn looked at him for a moment. “If I knew the answer, our lives would’ve been a lot easier a long time ago.”Al

No one spoke for a few seconds after Vincent’s last message appeared on Reyn’s phone screen.Only the sound of rain outside the apartment and the faint hum of electricity from the laptop filled the room.Logan was still staring at the photo on the phone screen.A picture of their apartment.And a blurred figure on the rooftop of the building across the street holding a long rifle.For some reason… the longer Logan looked at it, the more he felt like the man was actually watching them right now.“It’s a trap,” Reyn muttered finally as he dropped his phone onto the table.Alexa crossed her arms over her chest.“Or maybe it’s a warning.”“From a mafia?” Reyn gave a short, humorless laugh. “Come on, Alexa.”“But he’s right about Damian.”The room fell silent again.Logan slowly lifted his gaze. “How dangerous is this Damian guy?”Reyn rubbed his face roughly before leaning against the kitchen counter. “Like a monster.”That short answer immediately made the atmosphere feel colder.“I’m se

The meeting room on the top floor stayed silent even after they had made their decision. There was no background music, no city noise slipping through the thick glass windows, only the faint hum of the air conditioning system, like the only reminder that the outside world was still moving normally.Logan sat with his back slightly straight, his eyes still fixed on the black folder in front of him. It was already open now, as if it had just turned from a simple stack of paper into something heavier than the decision he had just made about his own life.Reyn had already started reading through the document with an unreadable expression. He flipped pages quickly at times, then stopped too long on certain sections, clicking his tongue softly like he had found something he didn’t like, though he never actually explained what he was thinking.Alexa, on the other hand, read more calmly. Her eyes moved slowly from paragraph to paragraph, as if she was trying to memorize every word without mis
