Chapter 164
By this point, the interrogation room looked less like a place meant for questioning and more like the aftermath of a violent battlefield, with destruction stretching from one end of the chamber to the other. Large cracks snaked across the reinforced concrete walls, some reaching all the way to the ceiling, while shattered chunks of stone lay scattered across the floor like the remains of a demolished building. The heavy steel table that had once occupied the center of the room no longer resembled furniture, having been reduced to a grotesquely twisted heap of mangled metal that had been hurled into a corner after serving as the target of impacts powerful enough to warp solid steel. Dust hung thickly in the air, refusing to settle, while the fluorescent lights overhead flickered sporadically as the repeated shockwaves coursed through the room's battered electrical system. Standing calmly amidst the devastation was Duren. The massive A-Rank hunter appeared completely at ease wi

The question caused a faint smile to appear on Miles's face. "Relationship?" He almost sounded amused. "We didn't have one." Duren frowned. Miles continued calmly. "If I absolutely had to describe it, I'd say Derek was a sheep pretending to be a wolf."bThe smile widened slightly. "He spent so much time acting like a predator that he forgot predators eventually encountered something stronger." Duren's expression hardened. "And what does that make you?" Miles met his gaze directly. "The actual wolf." The silence that followed felt suffocating. For a moment, Duren simply stared. Then a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes. The atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive. The large hunter leaned forward. "You think that's funny?" "No." Miles shook his head. "I think it's accurate." The vein on Duren's forehead visibly pulsed. "Careful." His voice dropped noticeably. "You don't have the right to speak about Young Master Derek that way." Miles scoffed. The dismissive sou

The elevator continued its slow ascent toward the highest levels of the Knights Guild headquarters, carrying Miles deeper into the heart of enemy territory while the city lights gradually disappeared beneath him. Through the transparent glass panel positioned at the rear of the elevator, he could see countless illuminated buildings stretching across the horizon like a sea of stars, but his attention remained elsewhere. Every passing second only reinforced the same thought. Mia. The image of his younger sister sitting helplessly in the hands of the Wilson Family repeatedly surfaced within his mind, each appearance making the cold fury simmering beneath his calm exterior grow stronger. The only reason the building around him remained standing was because he still didn't know where they were keeping her. If he had known her location, this entire charade would have been unnecessary. The Wilson Family wanted him to come willingly. They wanted him isolated. They wanted him surrounde
Chapter 161
By the time Miles entered the city's central district, darkness had completely claimed the sky above. The towering skyscrapers dominating the area glittered with thousands of lights, transforming the cityscape into a dazzling sea of steel and glass. Neon signs illuminated the streets below while expensive vehicles traveled through the broad avenues connecting the wealthiest sections of the city. This was the heart of power. The place where major guilds established their headquarters. It was also the place where influential families conducted business. The place where decisions affecting millions of lives were made behind closed doors. Standing above them all was a structure that immediately commanded attention. The Knights Guild Headquarters. The enormous building rose high above neighboring structures, its polished exterior reflecting the surrounding lights like a massive silver monument standing proudly against the night sky. Near the upper levels, an enormous sword in
Chapter 160
The city lights stretched endlessly beneath the darkening sky as Miles moved through the streets with a purpose that bordered on obsession. The letter remained folded inside his pocket, but he no longer needed to read it. Every word had already engraved itself into his memory, replaying repeatedly in his mind since the moment Gladys had placed it in his hands. There had been a part of him that hoped he was wrong. A small, naive and very foolish part. Perhaps the kidnappers were unrelated to the events at school. Perhaps some other enemy had emerged while he was occupied fighting monsters beyond the city walls. Perhaps this was merely a coincidence. But the contents of the letter had erased every doubt. The Wilson Family was indeed responsible for abducting Mia. His instincts had identified them long before his eyes finished reading the final line. The arrogance and audacity they possessed. The certainty that they could take whatever they wanted and force others to obey. Everyt
Chapter 159
Several minutes later, Miles landed silently atop his apartment building. The familiar structure immediately came into view, standing quietly amidst the surrounding residential district. Normally, seeing it would have eased his mind. Today, it did the exact opposite. A strange unease settled over him the moment he looked at the building. Everything appeared normal. The lights inside his apartment were on. Nothing seemed damaged. No signs of forced entry were visible from the outside but it felt wrong. Without wasting another second, Miles crossed the rooftop and dropped onto the balcony attached to his apartment. His eyes immediately scanned the interior through the glass doors. The first thing he noticed was that Mia wasn't there. The second thing he noticed was Gladys. The middle-aged housekeeper sat alone at the dining table, her posture slumped and her expression distant, as though she had been sitting there for hours. When she suddenly noticed movement out
