CHAPTER 839
"No!" Brian sobbed loudly, fat tears immediately rolling down his pale cheeks. He reached out and grabbed Clara’s jacket with his tiny hands. "No! I want to go with you! Please don't leave me!""You can't come with me this time, Brian," Clara explained gently, wiping his tears away with her thumb. "It is way too dangerous where I am going. But Uncle Dorian is very nice, and he is going to keep you completely safe from the bad men."Dorian stepped up beside her, offering the frightened boy a warm, reassuring smile. "We will even stop for some chocolate ice cream on the way to the safehouse, Brian. Don't worry at all."Clara smiled softly, ruffling the boy's messy hair. "Be a good boy for me, okay?"She pulled herself away, closed the door, and walked back over to her own vehicle, climbing into the driver's seat.From the passenger floor, the King let out another low, mocking chuckle. "Let me guess... your little plan with your dear mother did not work out right?" the King laughed, his
CHAPTER 838
Valthera swiped the screen and pressed the phone tightly against her ear, not even waiting for a greeting. "Where the hell are you, Clara?!" she screamed into the microphone. "Bring the King to me right now!"On the other end of the line, Clara’s voice sounded incredibly tired, echoing from a completely different part of the city. "Mom, you really need to listen to me for once," Clara pleaded softly. *"You have to let me do things my way. Just this one time.""Bring me the King immediately, and maybe I will actually choose to spare your life," Valthera threatened, her voice dropping into an icy, heartless whisper. "I do not care if you are my own biological daughter, Clara. Business is business.""Mom, please listen," Clara’s voice broke, filled with a sudden wave of deep sadness. "I barely have any family alive in this cruel world anymore. I need you. I don't want to fight you.""You need me?" Valthera let out a bitter, mocking laugh into the stormy night. "You dare call me family, a
CHAPTER 837
Dorian shook his head in absolute disbelief, a cold dread washing over him. He stared at the radio receiver. "So... that's it? Are we actively hunting Clara now? We are going to attack her?""The King deserves to die for everything he has done to this city!" Thomas shouted, trying to justify the execution order. "If Clara just comes to her senses and hands him over to Valthera instead of the cops, then this entire war will finally stop!""I can't do this," Dorian whispered, a wave of clarity washing over him. He shook his head firmly and reached for the door handle. "I am not going to help you ambush Clara." He prepared to step out of the car into the pouring rain."I can't do this alone, Dorian," Thomas suddenly admitted, his voice dropping into a desperate, vulnerable tone. He looked at his longtime friend with pleading eyes. "Please. Don't leave me out here."Dorian paused, his hand gripping the open car door as the cold wind rushed in. He looked back at Thomas with deep sorrow. "A

Dorian quickly deepened his voice, playing the part of a compliant soldier. "The target ran. He was fast, but we will catch him soon enough. We just came back to regroup."The overseer sneered, pointing back toward the stairs. "Why the hell did you come back here then? We don't need excuses! Go back out there right now and bring him in!""Understood," Dorian replied. He and Nicholas immediately turned back around, marching out of the dungeon before their cover could be blown.Once they reached the safety of the upper floor, Dorian spun around to face Valthera, his voice shaking with emotion. "Valthera, those children are being kept in cages like wild animals! We have the weapons. We have the drop on them. We need to turn around right now and rescue them!""No," Valthera replied instantly, her voice flat and completely heartless."Valthera, listen to reason!" Dorian protested, stepping into her path. "The guards down there are not many! We can easily take them out and free those kids r
CHAPTER 835
Nicholas dashed through the dark alley, his heart pounding against his ribs. Just a few blocks away, he finally caught up to his terrified friend, who was huddled against a brick wall, shaking violently. On the damp ground beside him lay the bodies of two Syndicate soldiers."Nicholas!" his friend sobbed, lunging forward and wrapping his arms around Nicholas in a desperate hug. "Nicholas! I don't know what is going on! They just dropped dead out of nowhere! Everything is going crazy!"Nicholas held his friend firmly, patting his back in a hurried attempt to soothe the panic. "Hey, look at me. Breathe. I've got you," Nicholas tried to calm him down, keeping his voice steady and low. "Everything is going to be completely fine, I promise. You're safe now."Before he could say another word, Valthera’s cold, demanding voice crackled sharply through Nicholas’s ear comms. "Nicholas, don't waste time. Search around for the driver who was driving the men sent to capture your friend. The vehicl
CHAPTER 834
Suddenly, Clara felt a strange, intense warmth blossom against her chest. It was her necklace—the piece of the dragon knife that Adrian had infused with his own mystical energy before, telling her to always keep it on. The metallic fragment began to glow with a brilliant, blinding light. It vibrated violently against her skin.A massive stream of raw, powerful energy suddenly coursed through her entire grid of veins. The mystical power surged through her body, instantly snapping her broken bones back into place, sealing her torn flesh, and erasing the agonizing pain. Her vision instantly snapped back to normal, sharper and clearer than it had ever been.She took a massive, deep breath, her lungs filling with air as she stood back up onto her feet with absolute ease.The King had already left her for dead. He was currently walking slowly toward little Brian, raising a sharp silver knife, ready to kill the child on the spot."Hey!" Clara breathed out hard, her voice booming through the
