Chapter 337
Antonio did not flinch.The moment the twenty huge men filled the room, their heavy presence pressing in from all sides, he remained perfectly still. The air seemed to thicken.Their boots scraped softly against the floor as they spread out, instinctively forming a loose circle, cutting off every visible path of escape.Cynthia stood behind him, trembling.Her fingers clutched the back of his shirt, as though letting go would cause the ground beneath her to vanish. Her breaths came shallow and uneven.Yet even with her fear so close behind him, Antonio’s posture did not waver. His shoulders stayed squared.His eyes swept across the men calmly, deliberately, as though he were counting shadows rather than facing a deadly threat. He studied the way they stood, the tension in their arms, the way some shifted their weight while others stood rigid and confident. He noticed their hands and then took a step forward.“What do you want?” Antonio asked.His voice was steady, low, completely d
Chapter 336
Just then, Antonio moved.He did not hesitate or pause to measure the odds stacked against him. His body reacted before his mind could interfere.He charged forward, boots striking the floor with force, ignoring the shouts that erupted behind him as the men realized too late that he was no longer reacting blindly.One man swung an arm at him, a heavy, reckless blow meant to stop him in his tracks. Antonio slipped past it with a sharp turn of his shoulders and caught the man’s hand mid-motion. The instant his fingers brushed the center of the palm, Antonio felt a strange resistance.It was subtle but unmistakable, like pressing against a thin layer of glass hidden beneath skin. It did not belong to flesh or bone. It vibrated faintly, alive with something unnatural.Without hesitation, Antonio pressed harder.The man screamed—from pure shock.The sound ripped through the room, raw and disbelieving, as if something vital had been torn away in a single breath. Whatever invisible forc

The man who stepped fully into the room carried an air of authority that silenced everything else.The weight of his presence was heavy and oppressive, as though the space itself recognized him as its master.It was Robert Adams.Even though he wore a dark mask that concealed most of his face, Antonio’s instinct screamed that it was Robert Adams. The room seemed to tighten around them as Robert’s gaze locked onto Antonio. His eyes burned with fury, the kind that came from seeing a long-standing enemy standing boldly where he had no permission to be. The noise of the room faded, leaving only the sound of strained breathing and the hum of tension hanging in the air.“You,” Robert barked, his voice sharp and dangerous. “What do you think you’re doing here?”Antonio did not flinch.He straightened slowly, deliberately, making sure his body blocked any direct line to Cynthia. He placed himself fully between her and the men surrounding her. His shoulders squared, and his eyes never wave
Chapter 334
As soon as Antonio’s eyes fell fully on Cynthia, his breath caught in his chest.For a split second, the world seemed to narrow until there was nothing but her. The room, the men, the danger—all of it faded behind the sight of her broken state. She was slumped against the chair, her body trembling uncontrollably and her breaths shallow and uneven, each inhale sounding like it took all the strength she had left. Her head lolled slightly to one side, strands of her hair clinging to her damp cheeks.Her clothes were torn in places, the fabric hanging unevenly from her shoulders and arms. Dark marks marred her skin—bruises blooming in angry shades, shallow cuts that caught the dim light, signs of rough handling that told a clear story without words. Antonio’s vision blurred from a red haze of rage that surged through him so fiercely it made his pulse roar in his ears.Two men stood close to her. One of them held a cloth, wiping her face and arms with rough, impatient movements, as t

Antonio arrived at the edge of the compound. The building ahead of him sagged slightly with age, its paint peeling, and its windows dark and lifeless. From the outside, it looked forgotten, like a place the world had moved past and left behind.Then a sound tore through the stillness. It was a muffled scream.Antonio froze in place.His heart clenched as he strained to listen, every sense suddenly alert. At first, the noise blended into the silence again, but when he focused, more sounds emerged—raised voices from inside, rough and impatient, followed by dull, heavy thuds that spoke of movement and struggle.Someone cried out again.The sound was strangled, desperate, as if a hand had been forced over a mouth to stop it.Antonio’s breathing grew shallow.Then he heard it clearly.Cynthia’s voice.That single realization shattered any restraint Antonio had left. The last thread of caution snapped, replaced by a rush of fury that burned through him like fire.“That’s her,” he mutter
Chapter 332
Before stepping out to face whatever awaited him next, Antonio felt an irresistible pull toward the small table by his bedside.On it lay the necklace his late mother had given him.It was simple in appearance—an aged chain with a small, dark pendant carved with strange symbols—but Antonio knew better than to judge it by its looks, so he reached for it.The moment his fingers brushed the pendant, it blinked—once, twice—like a heartbeat made of light. He froze. The room seemed to grow still.“What…?” Antonio muttered.The blinking grew brighter, pulsing with a low hum that vibrated through his fingertips. His chest tightened, but instead of fear, a strange calm settled over him. It was as though the necklace recognized him, welcomed him.Slowly, deliberately, Antonio slipped the chain around his neck.The instant the pendant touched his skin, a surge of energy rushed through his body. His vision blurred, the walls of his room dissolving into waves of light. Antonio staggered back,
