Leon pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Hello, Mr. Ashford,” Kane Valon’s voice came through clearly. “I was just about to contact you. Your guests have already arrived and are waiting upstairs. We didn’t expect you to be this late.”

Leon gave a tired smile. “Yeah… maybe I should’ve accepted your offer to send someone down for me. But now, Mr. Valon, this is the second time—twice—that I’ve been disrespected by people under your employment.”

“Wh-what?” Kane’s voice cracked with alarm. “Wha

    Celia continued staring at her dead baby, her heart growing heavier with every passing second. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Only moments ago, she had rushed to the warehouse hoping to find her child, but instead, she had been greeted by a sight that shattered her entire world. Her lips trembled as she struggled to breathe, her eyes fixed on the tiny, bloodied body lying before her. “Oh, good. You’re here.” The voice made Celia slowly lift her head. Maris was walking toward her, wearing a satisfied smile as though she had just accomplished something worth celebrating. She glanced at the dead baby on the ground before turning her attention back to Celia. “It seems you’ve seen my welcome gift. So, how do you like it?” she asked mockingly. Celia stared at her, her entire body trembling. She wanted to speak, to demand an explanation, but the words struggled to leave her throat. “You…” Her voice cracked. “Tell me this isn’t my baby.” Maris gasped dramatically, pl

    Back in his office, Jarvis Grave was caught off guard when his secretary, who had been informing him about the meetings he had missed, suddenly rushed out of the room after making a phone call. He stared at the doorway for a moment, wondering what had gotten into her. Celia Montoya had worked as one of his secretaries for years, and he knew her well enough to recognize when something was wrong. Lately, her behavior had become increasingly strange. She had grown distant, often stammered when speaking, and seemed lost in her thoughts most of the time, as though something was constantly weighing on her mind. Jarvis had tried asking her about it on several occasions, but she always insisted that she was fine. Eventually, he decided to leave her alone rather than pry into her personal affairs. After all, she was his secretary, and he had no intention of interfering in her private life without a good reason. Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. The way she had

  • 189: Another list checked off

    Victor arrived at an abandoned warehouse with his hands clasped behind his back. The place was quiet, with only the faint sound of movement coming from inside. Without hesitation, he stepped through the entrance and walked further into the building. Inside, a man sat on a wooden chair, his hands and legs tightly bound to it. A piece of cloth had been shoved into his mouth, preventing him from making a sound. Victor stopped and stared at him for a moment. The sight brought back memories of how everything had started. He remembered the night he had killed Leon Ashford, the moment he had slit the man’s throat and watched him fall. Yet, despite what he had done, Leon had somehow survived. Even now, Victor found it difficult to believe. He had been certain that Leon was dead, and the thought that he had somehow returned from the brink of death continued to trouble him. It was a mystery he had yet to find an answer to, and one he wasn’t willing to forget. Two thugs stood beside the capt

    At the Divine Order… High Priestess Seraphina was supposed to be in the Hall of Devotion, overseeing the afternoon prayers. However, instead of attending to her duties, she remained seated in her office, a displeased frown creasing her forehead as she went over the latest information she had received about the Abyssal Cult’s continuous rise in power. The news had left her deeply troubled. What bothered her even more was the feeling that she was the only person who seemed genuinely concerned about the growing threat. While everyone else continued with their usual duties, she couldn’t stop thinking about the danger that awaited them if the Abyssal Cult continued to grow unchecked. Even though Lord Azrael had finally decided to show his mighty presence within the Divine Order, Seraphina knew better than to expect him to agree to her plans concerning the Wishing Stone. Ezekiel had already made it clear that their god was against the idea, and she doubted that his opinion would change

    Maris Stellar was crying and screaming in pain as T.J carried her back to their hiding place, clutching her injured arm tightly. Tears streamed down her face, and her cries filled the room even after he helped her sit down. T.J stared at her with a deep frown. He had expected her to be angry after what happened, but he hadn’t expected her to behave as though she had suffered a life-threatening injury. He crouched in front of her and examined the wound. It was nothing more than a superficial burn, a scratch that would heal with time. Yet Maris was acting as though her entire arm had been torn off. “What is wrong with you, Maris?” he asked impatiently. “It’s just a surface wound. Only a scratch!” “It hurts!” Maris screamed, gripping her arm even tighter. “That bastard hurt me! He actually hurt me!” Her face twisted with rage, and fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. “No one is supposed to hurt me anymore! Do you hear me? No one!” she shouted, her voice growing louder with every w

    Left alone in his room with Leon, Cian stood quietly for a moment, studying the man before him. He had regained his memories and returned to his usual self, but the events of the day were still fresh in his mind. He had spent what felt like an eternity trapped in a childish state, unable to control his thoughts or understand what was happening around him. Now that he was finally free, there were several things he wanted to discuss. And Leon Ashford was at the top of that list. Cian cleared his throat, drawing Leon’s attention. “So, um, to cut a long story short,” he began, his expression gradually becoming serious, “I learned about your deal with Ambassador Calenne and his team, Harry and Levi.” Leon tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering across his face. “You know them?” “Of course.” Cian nodded. “I’m a scientist, so I travel quite a lot. My work takes me to different countries, and I’ve visited several places for research, including Olyndra. That’s where I met Lev
