CHAPTER 176
“This world will be struck with another catastrophic event in the next two days,” Freya announced, still focused on the tab before her, then she scrolled downward.“Five different gates will also be open a day after that, since that'll be the time of our mission,” she raised her head to look at Ashford who sat on the highest chair.He tapped his foot on the floor continuously, trying to arrive at an answer. An answer without flaws.“Malik,” he called the man's attention, then pointed at Madeleine and Sebastian. “You guys never have to go on missions right?”“Right,” Malik confirmed, then he coughed slightly to clear his throat. “However, we also get affected by the catastrophic events.”“Before the death of Bambi, she suffered severe burns from the acidic rain that poured a few months back.”Ashford didn't seem to be happy with that response, still, he forced a smile.“Going out there to find this guy doesn't sit right with me,” Ashford spoke with a hint of doubt in his voice. “Not w

[Name: Joshua Reed.][Status: Sovereign.][Mastery: Absolute combat proficiency.][Rank: S-rank.][XP: 58,530,776.][Class: Unwritten.]Joshua breathed a sigh of relief, but he forced away the smile that crept to his lips.Valerie's points were solid, that was something he knew. Not everyone's life back on earth was like Derek's. Not everyone had a perfect life, and the majority would see the systematic world as an escape.“Are you afraid of Ashford?” Joshua popped the question, curiosity edging his tone.“No one wants to encounter him, but I won't say I'm scared,” she shrugged. “Look at me in this chair, you're likely going to kill me.”“Tell me, what's the worst thing Ashford can do?”The sound of a chair scrapping the floor filled the room as Gina pushed it back. “Then why are you finding it hard to join us?”“This is not about me, can't you see?” She scoffed, expressing her frustration. “Every other clan in this world, every lord, every elite person who has managed to surpass the
CHAPTER 174
The atmosphere in the room was quite thick with hostility, with Xavier seated opposite Valerie whose hands and legs were strapped to a chair.“If this is going to be successful, don't stare at her like you want to kill her,” Alice said, leaning closer to Xavier.“Not when her conscience is eating her from within,” Xavier shook his head at his own words, then added.“That's if she even has a conscience.”Since it was said in a low tone, Valerie could only strain her eyes to read their lips, but in the end she got nothing.The entrance door opened, and the one they had all been waiting for walked in, with his hands behind him.“Joshua,” Valerie called out, without having to look back. “It's not everyone of your clan members who likes me, am I right?”Joshua paused in his steps, taking a sharp inhale. “I never said I liked you too.”He continued moving forward, then pressed his palms on the table. “Also, I don't expect any of them to like you.”“Not after what you were about to do.”Vale
CHAPTER 173
Freya and Lauren were seated at the front of the lower ranks who had begun their sparring session.“What do you think Lord Ashford is plotting?” Freya winced when a guy drove his fist towards the jaw of his opponent.Lauren was quite invested in the duel, but she had to turn away from it. “I don't understand what you mean by that?”Freya's eyes followed the movement of the guy who had landed a successful hit.Bulky, but fast.“Why do you think he did that to the woman he tortured about two days ago?”Lauren's forehead knitted with confusion. “She deserved to die, Freya. We all heard the gibberish she kept spilling.”“She deserves to die, yes, but why would he order Chloe to kill her?” Freya demanded, trying to understand, while waiting for a response.“Thought about it for a moment too, but there are better things to—”“Shit!”Lauren jumped from where she was watching, running towards the bulky guy who had almost killed his opponent.Despite the continuous taps from his opponent, he k
CHAPTER 172
“Do you think leaving her there alone is a wise decision?” Xavier asked from across the table, pinning his focus on Joshua.“She can't escape,” he answered, then stretched an arm forward to reveal the shimmering white thread. “Not when I attached this to the chain.”From the way everyone looked at Joshua, he knew that once everything returned to normal, there would be a barrage of questions hurled at him by his team members.“I had to rethink my decision,” Joshua continued, shifting his attention to Ari. “What if we make an alibi out of an enemy?”After all, his clan members had been talking about trust. Now was the time to see what their reaction would be.Xavier shot to his feet, with his palms pressed against the table in the meeting room. “An alibi?”“You heard that right,” Joshua answered.“Five minutes ago you were about to cut her legs off and watch it grow again, what's with the sudden change?”Joshua arched his brows at Xavier. “Thirty minutes ago you stormed out of that room
CHAPTER 171
“Order!”Larissa yelled before the congregation but the murmurs were still as audible as ever. “These people think Adrian is dead because he has been away for what? Three days?” Larissa whispered to Catherine who seemed unbothered.“What do you think the best solution is?” She asked Catherine, nudging her with her elbow this time. “Speak to me.”“I say you give them something to believe,” Catherine answered, not looking at Larissa. “You're the one he placed here after all.”“Also, I say you use fear.”Larissa turned to the members of the secret seven. Although only six were present.“I’m going to need you to go into their midst, make sure silence is restored.”After what happened with Julianne and Derek, Larissa knew how the congregation were likely to view the members of the cloaked.“Now, it all comes down to a make-believe story.”“Do you think he's dead?” For the first time, Catherine turned to stare at Larissa. “Or are your thoughts different?”“I've never been the kind to quick
