CHAPTER 739
Clara’s eyes widened in absolute shock. Her heart dropped into her stomach."Don't ever underestimate me, my dear," Valthera said, gently swinging back and forth in her chair."How... how long did it take you to hack the watch?" Clara stammered, her voice shaking."About a day," Valthera responded casually, as if talking about the weather. "The dead-man's switch is now officially linked to my own heartbeat, not yours. If you die, the secrets stay safe. You have no leverage left."Clara was absolutely fuming, her fists shaking with rage."I also hacked your cell phone," Valthera continued, her voice turning sharp. "You spoke to a secure number routing from a prison outside the city. Who was that?""No one," Clara lied through her teeth, crossing her arms.Valthera watched her closely for a long moment before letting out a soft sigh. "Well, be very careful who you deal with, Clara. People in our world are rarely what they seem." She reached into her top desk drawer and pulled out a cris
CHAPTER 738
The voice on the other side paused for a chilling second before speaking. "I have information about who killed your brother.""Who is this?" Clara demanded, her heart hammering against her ribs as she gripped the phone tighter."That is not the question," the deep, distorted voice replied from the other end. "We have not met before, but I have information that will help you recover your brother. Listen carefully. I am calling from a prison phone. You need to come visit me." The voice grew slightly rushed. "The facility is located far outside the city limits. Come alone if you want to know the truth about Adrian."Before Clara could ask another question, the line went completely dead.Click.Clara sat on the cold metal bench, staring at her blank screen in total confusion. Her mind raced with a million questions, but she didn’t even have time to process them.BRRRRMMMM!The sudden, deafening roar of high-powered motorcycle engines echoed down the concrete steps of the subway station. T
CHAPTER 737
Clara let out a bitter hiss, turned around, and walked straight out of the office, slamming the heavy door behind her for the final time.Days later, the cold rain was pouring over the city streets. Clara spent forty-eight hours hiding in cheap motels, her mind racing. Finally, she found the immense courage she needed to go back to the only safe place she had ever known.She walked up the stairs of the apartment complex and knocked softly at Henry’s door.The lock turned, and the door opened slowly. Henry stood in the doorway, his hair messy and his clothes wrinkled. The moment Clara saw his face, all her strength dissolved. She threw her arms around his neck, burying her face into his chest. "Henry... Henry, I am so sorry for everything," she cried, squeezing him tight. "I promise I will explain it all to you. I missed you so much."But Henry did not hug her back. His arms remained at his sides. His chest felt like a solid block of stone.Clara slowly pulled away, looking up at him.
CHAPTER 736
Back in Valthera’s private office, the heavy oak door flew open with a violent slam. Clara stormed inside, her face flushed with pure, unadulterated anger. Her chest heaved up and down as she stared at the woman sitting behind the massive desk.Valthera did not even blink. She slowly looked up, her expression as blank and unbothered as ever. "Where is the note?" she demanded, her cold eyes locking onto Clara."Really?" Clara snapped and then laughed in disbelief. "That is all you care about right now? The note?"Valthera remained completely silent, her icy gaze never wavering."How could you vote to kill him?" Clara yelled, stepping closer to the desk. "We made an official deal with him! He was going to help us, and you just ratted him out to the crowd like that! That is pure wickedness, Valthera! How could you do such a horrific thing? You executed him on that floor like he was absolutely nothing!"Valthera showed absolutely no remorse. She leaned back in her leather chair and crosse
CHAPTER 735
Valthera’s fists tightened, her knuckles cracking in the silence.At the same time, Clara was furiously searching the files inside the dark van. After several agonizing minutes, her fingers brushed against a piece of paper with the matching ancient symbols. "Thank God," she muttered, pulling it out.But suddenly, a cold shadow fell over her. Clara turned around, and her eyes widened in absolute horror. Standing right behind her in the van was a man wearing a terrifying white mask. It was the same masked man who had stolen the safe from the cruise ship and killed the Titan Heir.The masked man didn't say a word. He simply stretched out his gloved hand, silently ordering her to hand over the paper."No," Clara breathed, clutching the paper to her chest.The man pounced on her with incredible speed. But Clara was fast. She ducked low, rolling underneath his massive arms, and ran out the back of the truck. She scrambled up a metal ladder, landing on the high construction scaffolding near
CHAPTER 734
Clara stared at the weird symbols on the table, her mind working quickly. "What if there is a copy of the message?" she suggested, looking up at the others.Kane shook his head immediately. "It is not possible, Clara. The Helic is completely foolproof."Valthera, however, leaned forward, a dark look in her eyes. "Actually, that is a good idea. Clara, trail the next message and see if there is a copy."The next day, Clara hung around the crowded subway station. This was the exact spot where the underworld handlers used young street boys to pass secret messages across the city.She kept her head down, blending into the crowd. Suddenly, a man in a sharp black suit approached three boys. He handed three individual parts of a letter to the three boys. The moment they took the papers, they immediately parted ways, heading in different directions.Clara picked one of the boys and began to trail him. She kept her distance and made sure he did not know she was behind him.She followed him down
