Chapter 729: The Healing
The days that followed the battle were filled with quiet reflection and slow healing.Jackson stood in the garden of the Hart estate, the morning sun casting a warm glow across the roses. The shadows that had once darkened the grounds were gone, replaced by a sense of peace that had been absent for so long. But the weight of loss still lingered.Sophia's sacrifice was a wound that would take time to heal. Her memory was everywhere—in the garden where she had walked, in the rooms where she had laughed, in the hearts of those who had loved her.Jackson felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to find James standing beside him, his face etched with the same grief that Jackson carried."Jackson," James said quietly, "we need to talk."Jackson nodded. "I know."They walked to the stone bench beneath the old oak and sat down. The silence between them was heavy, but it was no longer filled with anger. It was filled with understanding."I'm sorry," Jackson said, his voice raw. "For what I said.
Chapter 728: Another Millennium!
Jackson lay on the cold stone floor of the church, his body battered, his strength spent. James, Andrew, and Evans were scattered around him, their faces pale and bloodied. Primis stood over them, his ancient eyes burning with cold triumph."You have fought bravely," Primis said, his voice echoing through the ruins. "But bravery is not enough. The Flameborn will be mine."He raised his hand, shadows gathering around his fingers, ready to deliver the final blow."STOP!"The voice cut through the chaos like a blade. Primis turned, his eyes narrowing.Sophia stood at the entrance of the church, her face pale but her voice steady. Behind her, Celestine stood.Primis laughed—a cold, mocking sound. "Two more mortals to challenge me? How brave. How foolish."Sophia stepped forward, her eyes locked on Primis. "You know who I am."Primis's smile faltered. He studied her face, his ancient eyes flickering with recognition. "The forgotten Hart. I did not expect to see you here."Sophia's voice wa
Chapter 727: The Resurrection!
The shadows in the church grew darker and thicker, as if the very air was being drained of light. The candles flickered and died, one by one, plunging the room into near darkness. Only the black symbols on the floor glowed, pulsing with an unholy light.Jackson stood his ground, the Flameborn fire blazing in his hands, illuminating the terror around him. He could see Ruth and Jacqueline still bound, their eyes wide with fear. He could see James and Andrew fighting off the last of Marcia's guards. He could see Evans, frozen, his grief-stricken gaze fixed on his mother.And he could see Primis.The shadows coalesced into a form—tall, ancient, and terrible. The shape of a man, but not a man. His eyes burned with fire that had existed long before the world was born. His presence filled the church with a cold, suffocating weight.Marcia knelt before him, her voice trembling with reverence. "My lord. I have brought you back. I have fulfilled my promise."Primis looked down at her, his expre
Chapter 726: The Last Stand!
Before anyone could react, the shadows in the church came alive.Dark figures emerged from the corners—Marcia's guards, cloaked in black, their weapons gleaming in the candlelight. They moved with inhuman speed, surrounding Jackson and his team."Protect Ruth and Jacqueline!" Jackson shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos.James and Andrew moved to flank the bound women. Evans stood frozen for a moment, his eyes still fixed on his mother."Evangeline," he said, his voice cracking. "Your real name is Evangeline. Why? Why did you let the darkness consume you?"Marcia's eyes flickered at the sound of her true name. For a moment, the mask of cold cruelty slipped, revealing a flicker of the woman she had once been. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared.She laughed—a bitter, broken sound that echoed through the church. "Evangeline," she repeated, her voice dripping with mockery. "I haven't been called that in years. I buried that name along with everything else I lost."Evans ste
Chapter 725: The Last Messenger!
Jackson looked at Yvonne Tween, and all he could see was a woman driven by vendetta. "You don't have to be like this, Mrs. Tween. You shouldn't allow this lady make you an enemy to the same family that you had stood by all these years. She's only manipulating you."Marcia's laughter echoed through the empty church, cold and triumphant. She stepped closer to Jackson, her eyes gleaming with a dark satisfaction."You think you know me, Jackson?" she said, her voice dripping with contempt. "You think you understand what's at stake here?"Jackson's jaw tightened. "I know you're a traitor who's been manipulating everyone around you. That's all I need to know."Marcia shook her head slowly, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "You're so blind, Jackson. So utterly blind."She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I am Evans' mother."Jackson's blood ran cold. "What?""Evans. Your loyal soldier. The man who has fought beside you, bled for you, sacrificed for you." Marcia's smile wi
Chapter 724: The Betrayal Revealed!
The old church loomed before Jackson, its dark silhouette stark against the moonlit sky. He pushed open the heavy wooden door, the creak of its hinges echoing through the abandoned space.Inside, the church was cold and damp, the air thick with dust and decay. Flickering candles cast long shadows across the pews, their light barely reaching the altar at the far end of the room.And there, standing in the center of the space, was Marcia.She was flanked by two guards, their faces hidden in shadow. Ruth and Jacqueline were bound to chairs nearby, their eyes wide with fear, their mouths gagged. They struggled against their restraints, but there was no escape.Jackson's heart clenched at the sight of them, but he forced himself to stay calm. "I'm here, Marcia. Let them go."Marcia smiled—a cold, cruel smile. "You came alone, just as I asked. I have to admit, Jackson, I didn't think you had it in you."Jackson stepped forward, his voice hard. "You have what you want. Release them."Marcia
