Sarah swallowed, glancing at Elena beside her, then out the window.

“Cecelia… It’s Malvin. He—” Her voice cracked, and she forced the words out. “He’s been shot. We’re following the ambulance to the hospital.”

On the other end of the line came a sharp intake of breath — and then Cecelia’s voice shattered into a scream.

“My only son—!” Her anguish bled through every syllable, she could barely believe what she just said.

Malvin had left home a few minutes ago, and he said he was going to the mall for shopping.

Now he was shot?

“Who did this? How could people be so cruel?”

Elena sat rigid beside her mother, she could hear Cecilia's cries and screams even though the phone was not on loudspeaker.

Sarah tried to steady her tone, though her eyes burned. “We don’t know yet. It happened so fast, some armed robbers attacked the Crest Mall… he saved Sophia’s life.”

There was silence for a breath, then Cecelia’s voice returned, although it was still filled with grief.

    The family surged forward. Gerald, Sophia's brother, shoved Adrian back. "After all we've done for you? Gave you a place, trusted you? You stabbed us in the back! Grandfather believed in you!"Sarah, Sophia's mother, pointed a shaking finger. "I always knew I couldn't trust you! From the start! Get out!"Elena stayed quiet, her eyes sad, watching from the side but she didn't say anything.Adrian stepped back, heartbroken. The family pulled Sophia away, surrounding her like a wall. "Get out, murderer!" they shouted. Adrian took a step closer. His voice softened. "Sophia, calm down. You're angry and grieving. You'll get over this. The videos are fake. Someone's playing a wicked game."Sophia's eyes filled with rage. They burned like fire. She wiped her tears and shouted. "Fake? How can you say that?"She waved to a servant standing nearby.

    He stood up. His chair scraped loudly against the floor. Mr. Rhein called after him. "Think about it, son." Adrian stormed out angrily. The door slammed like thunder. The drive back was filled with rage. "Lies. All lies," he muttered to himself. Adrian stormed into his home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap. His face was twisted with rage, fists clenched tight. "That bastard wasted my time with lies!" he muttered to himself, pacing the empty hallway. The house felt cold and silent. He called out. "Sophia? You home?" No answer came. The kitchen was dark, Sophia ought to be back by now. His heart skipped a beat. Something felt off. He grabbed his keys again and rushed out, driving to the Aldridge family house. The weather became cloudy, and it began to rain. As he neared the estate, chaos greeted him. Flashing ambulance lights cut through the storm. People gathered at the entrance, wailing and shouting. Servants and family members clustered around, thei

    Julia hesitated. She picked up the letter but didn't move. "Sir, it's marked urgent. It came with special seals. Maybe it's important."Adrian leaned back in his chair. His fingers tapped the desk. "Important? From him? After all these years?"Julia stepped closer. Her voice was soft but firm. "I know you don't have a good history with your father. But what if he has something you need to hear? Answers, maybe. I'm sure there is something you want to know badly."Adrian stared at the letter. His mind raced with memories. His father's betrayal.Memories of him killing his mom and cheating on her with his secretary.Throwing him out like trash. But curiosity gnawed at him. What if there was truth in it?He sighed heavily. "Fine."Julia handed it over. Adrian broke the seal with a sharp rip. He unfolded the paper. His eyes scanned the words.The letter read in his mind: "Son, we urgently need to talk. Come to the mansion tomorrow."Adrian crumpled the edge. "No way I'm going to see him,"

    Adrian turned to her. His aura flared brighter. "I told you to walk away but you clearly want to die."In a flash, he lunged. His hand pierced through her chest. Dragon energy burned like fire. Zara's phasing failed. Her eyes widened in shock. "Brother... help...""Zara!" Zane blurred to a halt, his speed shattering like glass. He skidded to her side, dropping to his knees, hands hovering over her broken form. "Sister... get up! Phase! Fight!"Zara coughed, blood flecking her lips, her once-ethereal glow fading to a weak flicker. "Zane... he's... too strong... run..."Zane's head snapped up, his legendary speed forgotten, replaced by raw terror. "You... you killed her? With one move? How? We're the Drakons! Untouchable! Faster than gods!"Adrian loomed over them, his voice echoing like distant thunder. "Untouchable?"
