The deafening roar of the crash still echoed through the ruined hall as dense grey dust hung suspended in the air.

Dorian didn't waste a single second admiring Thomas’s dramatic entrance. He immediately pulled Nancy deep into his chest, covering her eyes with one broad palm and pressing her head tight against his vest, using his other hand to cup her exposed ear.

"Close your eyes, kid! Cover your ears!" Dorian grunted over the noise.

Up on the running board of the six-wheeled truck, Thomas

    "I am going to count to three," Clara announced quietly, her tone carrying zero hesitation, zero bluff, and a terrifying, absolute certainty. "If you do not drop your weapons by the time I reach three, I am going to snap his neck... and then I am going to kill every single person standing in this room."Clara shifted her cold gaze up toward the guards on the catwalks. "I am sure all of you have read my classified file. You know the syndicates I've dismantled, the armies I've broken, and the traps I've walked out of unscratched. Do not test me tonight."Several young task force officers on the upper railings swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down their necks beneath their helmets. Their hands shook against their rifle stocks. They knew the file. They knew the legend of "The Keeper."You piece of shit, Phyna... the Director cursed in his head, pure, unadulterated terror curling inside his gut as he felt the crushing grip on his neck tighten by another fraction of a millimeter. He was g

  • CHAPTER 1058

    In her seventeen years of life, Nancy had known her mother as a soft, gentle widow who cried over sad movies, worked late at a quiet desk job, and did everything possible to keep their small family afloat. After her father had died years ago, Clara had raised her alone, enduring every hardship without ever raising her voice. Nancy had always assumed her mother was weak... a quiet, fragile woman who let the world trample over her because she didn't have the strength to fight back.Sitting here now, watching her mother hold the most powerful man in the national security agency by the throat without breaking a sweat, Nancy realized how terribly wrong she had been. Her mother wasn't weak. Her mother was an apex predator who had hidden her claws behind a warm smile just to give her child a peaceful life.Clara dragged the wheezing Director two steps forward, her dark eyes locking squarely onto Phyna’s face. Her fists tightened, her knuckles turning ghostly white as she stood face-to-face

    The twenty elite task force guards instantly panicked. CLICK-CLACK-CLACK! Every single rifle barrel on the catwalks snapped around in unison, their red targeting lasers shifting off Dorian and painting Clara’s chest, shoulders, and forehead in a lethal web of red light! Behind Dorian's broad back, Nancy’s eyes widened to the size of saucers. Her jaw dropped, her breath catching in her throat as she stared at the bruised, blood-stained woman holding the highest national security official in the country like a ragdoll. "M-Mom...?" Nancy muttered, her voice trembling in pure, disbelief-filled shock. She pressed her hands against her mouth, a sudden wave of frantic emotion washing over her chest. "That's... that's my mom!" Just a few days ago, in the small, quiet kitchen of their suburban home, Nancy had screamed at her mother, shoving her away, telling her to leave her alone, yelling that she wanted her completely out of her life. But sitting here now, in the cold, blood-soaked bell

    Dorian stepped out from behind the vehicle first, his massive frame standing tall, his hands raised above his head. He kept his body angled slightly to shield Nancy, who was stepping out right behind him, clutching the back of his tactical vest with trembling fingers, her pale face streaked with dirt and tears. Thomas walked out beside them, shaking his head with a look of dramatic, offended disgust as he looked up at the twenty snipers lining the upper catwalks. "Don't any of you people have a code of conduct or something?!" Thomas yelled at the guards, pointing his finger dramatically. "Look at all of you! An entire government task force... all of you came here in full body armor just to catch three people?!" He gestured wildly toward Nancy, his voice rising in genuine, protective fatherly outrage. "Can't you see there is a literal child here?!" Thomas barked at the soldiers. "How can you be firing automatic weapons at a high school student, you bunch of absolute morons?!"

  • CHAPTER 1055

    RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT! BANG! BANG! BANG! A real, terrifying storm of military-grade lead rained down on the custom truck! Live rounds slammed into the reinforced steel bodywork with sickening, metallic thuds (THUNK-THUNK-THUNK!), shattering the remaining glass, chipping the paint, and sending sparks flying in every direction! Nancy screamed into Dorian’s chest, the deafening wall of sound cutting right through his palms. The sheer terror of being caught in the middle of a military crossfire pressed down on her fragile teenage mind like a crushing weight. Dorian gritted his teeth, his jaw clenching so hard his muscles bulged as he glared sideways at Thomas. "Really, Thomas?!" Dorian snapped, his deep voice easily cutting through the noise in their tight shelter. "How could you bring blanks to a fight like this?!" Thomas winced, pressing his back against the rubber tire as bullets whined overhead. "I brought live rounds! Trust me, I did! I just... I found it hard, okay?!" "You foun

"Close your eyes, kid! Cover your ears!" Dorian grunted over the noise. Up on the running board of the six-wheeled truck, Thomas didn't hesitate. He raised a heavy, dual-drum assault rifle, squeezed the trigger, and unleashed absolute hell! RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT! Muzzle flashes erupted in blinding orange bursts, illuminating the dusty hall like a disco ball of death. Shell casings rained down from the truck’s cabin, clattering against the concrete floor in a chaotic, metallic rhythm. Thomas swung the barrel in a wide, sweeping arc, firing indiscriminately at the catwalks, the support pillars, and the perime
