The morning sun rose cold and pale over Tuntadel University, sending thin beams of light through the small dorm window. Knox pulled on his jacket, zipping it up to his chin before checking his backpack for his lecture notes.

He turned toward the small bed in the corner, where Caleb sat wrapped in a blanket, looking exhausted and quiet.

"I'm heading out for morning lectures now, Caleb," Knox said softly, stepping closer to the bed. "Listen to me carefully. Stay inside this room. Keep the door

  • Don’t Go, chapter 181

    High inside the misty mountain sanctuary of Thailand, rain poured over the ancient stone roofs of the Dark faction’s stronghold. Deep within the central grand hall, tension hung thick enough to suffocate a man.Urgent encrypted reports had just arrived from across the sea, detailing every single disaster in Tuntadel—the failed ambush against Lord Smith on Rockwood Road, the Vance family's rising chaos, and the unexpected strength of the Tradition Faction.Ferdinand Windgate stood near the center of the hall, his dark robe fluttering as he paced back and forth, slamming his fists together in pure rage. Beside him, his son, Matt Windgate, gripped the hilt of his curved blade so tightly his knuckles turned stark white. Surrounding them were dozens of elite disciples and senior warriors, their faces dark with fury."This is unacceptable!" Ferdinand roared, his voice echoing off the high stone pillars. "The Vance family is our key ally! How could they let Lord Smith survive on Rockwood Roa

"I'm heading out for morning lectures now, Caleb," Knox said softly, stepping closer to the bed. "Listen to me carefully. Stay inside this room. Keep the door locked, keep the blinds down, and don't open for anyone unless it's me or Baron." Caleb looked up, nodding eagerly with wide, innocent eyes. "I understand, Knox. I won't move an inch. I know how dangerous it is for me to be seen on campus." "Good," Knox said, putting a hand on his cousin's shoulder. "Baron and Dean Lashley are working on keeping you safe. Once the Tradition group calls another meeting tonight, we will figure out our next move against the Vance family. Just rest up and stay hid

  • The Extraction before the Ambush, Chapter 178

    The atmosphere inside the high-rise office of the Vance estate was tense and heavy. Afternoon light spilled across the polished floor, but the air inside was ice-cold.Mr. Vance stood behind his sprawling desk, his face red with anger. Beside him, his son Leo Vance sat on the leather sofa, holding a glass of iced liquor, his eyes fixed on his father.Reports of the failed ambush on Rockwood Road by the Russian Eagle syndicate had just reached them."Unbelievable!" Mr. Vance roared, slamming his heavy fist onto the wooden desk. "Utterly pathetic!"He grabbed his private communicator from the desk, furiously dialing an encrypted number. It rang once before a deep, rough voice answered on the other end."Mr. Vance," Ivan, the head of the Russian Eagle mercenary gang, spoke casually."You had one job, Ivan!" Mr. Vance screamed into the receiver, his voice shaking with pure fury. "One job! Your only task was to take Lord Smith out of the picture completely! I paid a fortune for your servic

  • The Hidden, Chapter 177

    The morning sun hung low over the private estate of the Smith family, casting long, gold-and-silver rays across the vast marble courtyard. High iron fences and thick stone walls surrounded the property, but today, every single inch of the perimeter was crawling with armed guards. Over fifty elite Blue Bird soldiers stood in full tactical gear, their rifles held high, scanning the perimeter following the deadly ambush on Rockwood Road.Deep inside the grand, high-ceilinged sitting room, the air was warm and smelled faintly of burning cedar wood. Heavy velvet curtains framed the towering glass windows, and a fire crackled quietly in the hearth.Lord Smith sat in a wide leather armchair near the center of the room. He leaned back comfortably, resting both hands over the rounded head of his golden cane. His dark eyes were tired, but his posture remained upright, dignified, and utterly unfazed by the storm outside.Sitting on the leather sofa directly opposite him was Commander Dustin. The

  • Something isn’t Right, Chapter 176

    The night was unusually cold across Tuntadel University. The heavy rain that had battered the campus all afternoon had finally stopped, leaving behind slick stone pathways and a chilly, biting wind.Knox walked briskly down the dim hallway toward the Tradition Faction’s private lawn, his shoes clicking against the wet ground. Beside him, Caleb kept his head low, his hands stuffed deep into the pockets of his borrowed hoodie.Out on the lawn, the air was thick with tension. Mike walked side by side with Ayomide, gently holding her hand to guide her through the dark. Nearby, Baron, Fred, John, Susan the Seer, and Felicia were already gathered near the center of the yard alongside Bolton, who stood tall in his smooth human form."You can all sit now," Dean Lashley called out, his deep voice cutting through the chilly breeze.A large magical lamp stood in the center of the grass, casting a warm, flickering golden glow over the ten core members as they took their seats in a wide circle.De
