CHAPTER 769
Clara stood there, completely frozen by his words. She knew he was right about the danger, but the alternative of being a slave to the Syndicate forever was unbearable. Without another word, she grabbed the dead guard by his heavy tactical boots. With a strained breath, she dragged the heavy body down the concrete floor toward the back of the facility, where the massive, roaring furnaces incinerated the syndicate's evidence. She threw the corpse into the flames, watching the fire consume the remains until nothing was left but old ash.Later that night, the lights of a crowded downtown bar buzzed loudly. Henry sat at a small wooden table, looking around the noisy room with discomfort.He adjusted his collar, leaning over the table toward Ashley, who sat across from him in civilian clothes."I swear, half of these people in here are not even up to eighteen years old," Henry muttered, his cop instincts refusing to turn off.Ashley let out a soft laugh, reaching across the table to gentl
CHAPTER 768
Suddenly, one of the guards who was supposed to be watching the prisoner rushed into the hallway from the courtyard, realizing his mistake. He saw the unlocked chains and immediately pointed a trembling finger at Clara to save his own skin."Sir! She was trying to help him escape!" the guard shouted in panic. Clara’s mind raced. Her throat went completely dry as she tried to make up words to deny the accusation, but her tongue felt very heavy. Nothing was coming to her head. She was trapped.Butcher didn't look angry. He slowly turned his gaze away from Clara and fixed his dark eyes on the terrified guard who had just spoken."So," Butcher said softly, pulling a sleek pocket knife from his vest. "What you are trying to say to me... is that you were put on lookout duty, and you completely failed your task."Before the guard could even blink or apologize, Butcher moved with blinding speed. He lunged forward and violently slashed the sharp blade directly across the guard's neck.SLASH
CHAPTER 767
It was Commander Desmond. He was a notorious high-ranking official, and the junior officers always had major problems with him because of his massive ego and harsh attitude. Henry and Ashley immediately stopped their whispering and stood up straight as he got closer."Welcome, sir," they said in unison, saluting."I am Commander Desmond," the large man introduced himself, looking around at the ruins with his hands on his hips. "I was officially placed in charge of this special task force case this morning.""Welcome, sir," Henry repeated smoothly. "As you can see, the bodies are—""I know exactly what this is," Desmond interrupted loudly, scoffing. "This is the work of the Obsidian Syndicate."Ashley and Henry exchanged a confused, alarmed look. "The who?" Ashley asked."The Obsidian Syndicate," Commander Desmond barked, puffing out his chest. "They are a rogue faction, deadlier than anything you have ever seen before in this city. But I promise you, under my strict, expert leadersh
CHAPTER 766
After the horrific operation at the mountain tunnel, Clara drove away from the scene as fast as she could. She needed to breathe. She parked her battered car near a lonely, deserted city park and sat down heavily on a bench. The night was ending, and her hands were still shaking from the anger and disgust. She pulled out her burner phone and dialed Valthera’s number. Valthera was currently away, deep into another ruthless mission assigned by the Obsidian Syndicate. The phone rang twice before Valthera picked up, her voice low and alert. "Mom," Clara whispered, her voice cracking with deep exhaustion. "Things are getting so hard out here. Working for them... it is tearing me apart." "These people do not even have any form of a conscience. They just slaughter everyone. It has already been six long months of this nightmare, and I do not know how much longer I can keep up." On the other end of the line, Valthera took a slow, calm breath. "Do not lose hope, Clara. I promise
CHAPTER 765
Up ahead, the tattooed gang leader was sitting comfortably in first place, nearing the halfway point. He glanced into his rearview mirror, expecting to see his boys. Instead, he saw Clara's headlights rapidly closing the distance. His eyes widened in disbelief. "What the hell?" he muttered, violently spinning his steering wheel to weave across the road. He did everything he could to block her from passing.But Clara was too fast and too skilled. She timed the leader's movement perfectly. As he swung left to cut her off, she sharply jerked her wheel to the right, finding a tiny, impossible gap along the concrete barrier. She floor-boarded the throttle, her rusty metal side-mirror scraping against his door in a shower of bright yellow sparks. With a roar of triumph, she blew right past him, taking the lead.She sped toward the entrance of the massive, pitch-black abandoned mountain tunnel. But instead of turning around to complete the race loop, Clara suddenly pulled her handbrake hard
CHAPTER 764
The supreme leader of the racing gang, a large, intimidating man in his late forties, covered in dark tattoos and wearing a leather vest, stepped forward. He looked at Clara, then looked at her dented, rusty car, and laughed right in her face. "You want to race with that? With this piece of garbage? You must be playing some joke, little girl.""I am not joking," Clara said, her eyes turning hard as steel. She stepped closer to him, crossing her arms. "In fact, I don't just want to join the regular run. I want to race you directly. And to make it interesting, I'll add another two hundred thousand dollars of my own money to the prize pool."The entire garage erupted into loud, frantic laughter again. Men banged their wrenches against metal tables."Race the boss? Are you completely out of your mind?" a mechanic shouted from the back.The tattooed leader stopped laughing, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Clara’s calm face. He felt insulted by her confidence. "Listen to me, child. I ha
