Chapter 2Silence erupted in the room. No sound was made. Just extreme stillness.Amongst the inmates, a tall figure, having broad shoulders stood up from where he was sitting. Kane Wade.He was now in his early twenties. He had even developed a beard while in prison for close to a decade. He stretched himself, parts of his body cracking with a soft but audible noise. He looked at Williams, his expression unreadable. He waited.Then he asked. “What did you just say?" Williams swallowed. "After the incident that night, we pushed forward into the matter. After years of investigating the matter, we finally found an old hidden CCTV camera. It displayed everything. You only did what anyone could have done.”A brief pause. "That's why we're here to set you free." Kane's expression remained unreadable, but something darkened beneath his eyes. “Got accused and locked up for almost a decade without proper investigation and now you come to tell me I'm free and that I can now go. Just so ca

Chapter 4Kane walked in, his hands still in his pockets, looking totally calm. Priscila looked at him from head to toe, disgust flashing through her face. The doctor stared at him while he walked further, his face wrinkling with deep irritation. “Who's he?" Priscila asked, her gaze moving to Williams then Kane. “One of the prisoners," Williams answered. “Brought him here to save our son." “What?" The doctor shouted, not believing his ears. “You brought a prisoner to my hospital to save your son, Mr. Williams?”Williams cleared his throat. “He's no longer one. He was wrongly accused and has been released." “An ex-convict?" The doctor snapped, “Unbelievable!” His gaze sharpened at Kane. “Do you have any medical qualifications? Do you even have any formal training? What makes you think an ex-convict like you can save his son when I, a professional medical practitioner, haven't been able to even diagnose the illness?" “That's because you don't know your job," Kane replied harshl

Chapter 6That evening….In a village, in a particular compound, not really tidy, people moved around, carrying out different chores. Some mothers backed their children, pressing the others against themselves while staying focused. The compound was busy with chores. Just then—A car pulled over and stopped. Chores stopped. Some stood straight to scan the car. A trace of fear was slowly creeping onto their faces. Some parents were secretly pulling their children closer, whispering to them to hurry inside. At that moment while they were watching, a tall, calm figure stepped down from the car. It was Kane Wade.And this is his hometown. He hadn't forgotten it. He took in the place briefly before pulling out a bill from the money Williams Johnson had given him and handing it to the driver. He turned and started to walk toward a particular building. All eyes followed him, watching in silence. Kane then paused. In front of him stood an abandoned building. The building was bui

Chapter 8Hearing that, Brian turned to his men and let out a smirk. “He's brave, isn't he?" He asked, amusingly. The latter nodded, all with an entertained smirk. "Bravery leading to death.” "Hahaha.” The men laughed. Brian then turned to face Kane. His face turned dark. "Hey, you crazy?” He asked, his tone hardening. "I don't care to know who you are, but I want you to disappear now. Just as you came.”No movement.Kane didn't even bother to look at his face. His fist tightened."I'm talking to you,” he roared, eyes turning red. Kane lifted his head. Just a bit and slowly. "I said, stand up and disappear!” No answer immediately. Then a second passed and….."That's what you should do. Not me," Kane finally responded. “This is my house." Brian blinked, taken aback by his response. His men exchanged looks. Just then..Brian crashed out. "How dare you talk back at me!” Without any other word, he turned, grabbed a bottle from one of his men, weighed it at Kane's level, and

Chapter 10As Kane stormed out, the lady swallowed hard.Her heart dropped in slight relief. Then she looked at the men and gestured to four of them. “Tidy up the whole place," she ordered then turned. “You," she pointed at three. “Follow." ……Inside the car as it moved, Kane was seated in the back seat, leaning against the window while completely staring at nothing. In front, at the passenger’s seat, the lady looked through the rearview mirror hung in front of the driver's seat, looking at Kane's face. She took in a deep breath then exhaled heavily. Subsequently, she turned, now looking at Kane over her shoulder. "Young master, Kane,” she called out, her voice breaking. "I'm sorry for what happened back there. It wasn't intentional." She admitted. No answer. Kane continued to stare through the window. “I—-”“Then why did you do it?" Kane then leaned back into the car. He shifted on his seat, leaning backward. “You killed them and you said it wasn't intentional? What's the
