Chapter 142. Roads That Don’t Exist.
Seth's POV Ceres came back exactly ten minutes later.The door slid open without warning, and she stepped inside like she had never left, black coat moving slightly with the air behind her. Her eyes scanned me once, slow and precise, taking in the uniform, the boots, the way I stood.She nodded once. “Good. Follow me.”I stepped past her, careful not to rush, careful not to hesitate. Every movement mattered now. Every signal I sent could be read the wrong way. Ceres didn’t strike me as the type who tolerated uncertainty.We moved through the corridors in silence. No guards stopped us as doors opened automatically, hallways that had felt oppressive before now felt bare before me. Like the facility itself bent around her presence.That told me more than any briefing ever could.We climbed a set of stairs that hadn’t been there before or maybe they had, and I simply hadn’t noticed. The air grew colder the higher we went.When the final door opened, cold night air slammed into my face.I
Chapter 141. The Woman in Black.
Seth's POVI sat in the new prison cell trying not to fall asleep from the boredom. For a place designed to hold dangerous potentials, the room wasn’t impressive. Just four metal walls, a single light, and restraints that hummed every few seconds like they were reminding me to behave.As if I needed a reminder.The silence pressed down on me, slow and heavy. I didn’t mind silence, but this one felt pointless. Nothing to observe, nothing to analyze, nothing to listen to. The guards outside barely talked, and when they did, they used the same short, rehearsed lines. There were no cracks to peek through, no vents to count, no patterns to map.I was stuck with nothing but my own thoughts.And my thoughts… well, they weren’t great company at the moment.I leaned back against the cold wall and stared at the ceiling.
Chapter 140. The Black Reading
Seth's POV I stayed in that metal cage longer than I expected.One full day. Twenty four hours of cold concrete, recycled air, distant footsteps, and waiting.Waiting was part of the job. But waiting while pretending to be unconscious, trapped among terrified teenagers who were holding on to their last pieces of hope, that one was a different kind of patience.I kept still, breathing evenly, letting my body sag just enough to look limp but not enough to fully shut down my awareness. Every sound mattered. Every vibration in the floor, every whisper from guards outside the room, every small movement from the hostages. I memorized it all.If I revealed even a sliver of my ability… this entire undercover mission would be dead before it started.The Revolution operated differently from anything I had seen. They weren’t sloppy. They weren’t disorganized. They weren’t impulsive. Everything here was clinical. Efficient. Like an assembly line built for human trafficking.Or maybe human weapon
Chapter 139. Seth’s Disappearance.
Noel's POV I noticed it almost immediately.Seth wasn’t there.Not in the usual places, not at training, not lazily leaning against the walls like he always did, observing us. Not in the operations room where he spent hours reviewing intelligence and planning missions. Not even in his room.At first, I thought maybe he had gone to make a call, or grab some food. But as the minutes passed, that explanation stopped making sense. My stomach twisted with a feeling I didn’t want to admit... worry... Genuine worry.“Alex…” I called, my voice unsteady. I didn’t even realize I was pacing back and forth in the small briefing room. My hands gripped the edge of the table like I could anchor myself if the panic took over. “Seth… he’s not here.”Alex looked up from the tablet he was scrolling. His expression, normally so unreadable, hardened in an instant.“What do you mean ‘not here’?” His voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge to it.“I mean… I don’t feel him. He’s not anywhere in the facil
Chapter 138. Inside the Cage.
I woke up the way people wake up after getting hit with something I never saw coming. No warning or a slow rise into consciousness. Just a sharp pull from the darkness and a painful awareness that something was wrong.My head throbbed first. Then my vision cleared. Then the cold hit me.The floor under me was metal, smooth and freezing. The room was dim but not dark, and the lights buzzed faintly overhead. That buzzing told me everything I needed to know. It wasn’t a base. It wasn’t a hideout. This was a facility, Industrial, organized and efficient.And I was restrained.Thick cuffs held my wrists behind me. My legs were locked too, ankles pressed together by some kind of reinforced clamp. Whoever had taken me didn’t bother hiding their intentions. This was containment. I lay still, I didn’t open my eyes fully, I didn’t move my head, I let my breath stay shallow and uneven. Pretending to be unconscious is an old habit that never stops being useful.Footsteps approached from somewher
Chapter 137. The Silent Net Tightens.
I should’ve told someone. Alex, Cassandra, even Noel. But the truth was simple... I didn’t want extra voices in my head. Not tonight, not for this. The report had already been sent, the aide had already approved an undercover op, and my instincts were screaming for groundwork. I’ve led missions that required a whole boardroom of strategists, but sometimes one person slipping into the dark, quiet and unnoticed, gave more intel than ten drones and a satellite feed combined.And right now, the Revolution’s bases were breathing like living things across the map, pulsing with quiet activity, and I needed to feel the heartbeat myself.So I left.No announcement, no briefing, no backup. I walked out of the facility like someone heading for a late dinner. Doors closed behind me with the same softness they always did, but the silence hit sharper than usual. Every instinct kept whispering that I was making a mistake, but instincts can be dramatic. Mine especially. They act like every sidewalk c
