Chapter 214: The Eclipse Command!
The chamber was dark with shadows that slithered like serpents across the floor, coiling around the feet of Tyler and Trey as they knelt before Victor Vaughan.Victor stood tall above them, his presence suffocating. The air itself seemed to vibrate with his fury, every breath carrying the promise of destruction. His eyes burned like molten embers, fixed upon the two young men who dared to fail him.“I gave you one task,” Victor hissed, his voice echoing through the chamber like a whip crack. “One. And yet you return to me empty-handed. Do you take me for a fool?”Tyler bowed his head, fists clenched. Trey, however, lifted his gaze, defiance burning behind his eyes. “We’ve done everything you asked,” he snapped. “We’ve scouted, but we can't seem to find this Aureum Core that you keep talking about. It's like it doesn't exist."The words died on his lips.Victor raised a single hand, and Trey’s body convulsed violently. His bones twisted within his skin, joints grinding as if they would
Chapter 213: Shadows Between Masters!
Jackson found Copper at the far end of the garden courtyard, his back turned, phone pressed to his ear. The older man’s voice was calm but his tone carried weight, as though every word decided the fate of men far away.Jackson waited, pacing slightly. The conversation dragged on for several minutes until finally, Copper ended it with a short, deliberate click.Only then Copper turn. His sharp eyes widened faintly when he saw Jackson standing there. “You move too quietly,” Copper remarked, slipping the phone into his coat pocket. “Nearly startled me, and that doesn’t happen often.”Jackson forced a small smile, though his mind was far from calm. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude.”Copper studied him for a moment, then nodded. “It’s unlike you to seek me out without a reason. What’s on your mind, Jackson?”Jackson hesitated, the question burning on his tongue ever since he had left Professor Layton’s office. He had expected answers from Layton, but instead he had been left with fragments
Chapter 212: The Mark of Death!
The night air reeked of rain and gasoline as Evans darted through the narrow alleys of the city, his breath ragged in his throat. Behind him, shouts cut through the silence, boots pounding against the pavement. He didn’t need to glance back to know who it was—CIA operatives, and leading them was Superintendent Hayes himself.Bullets sparked against the brick walls as Evans swerved sharply, ducking beneath a rusted fire escape and plunging deeper into the labyrinth of backstreets. Every instinct screamed at him to keep moving. He had barely escaped the trap—a fake contact, a “safehouse” that turned out to be swarming with Hayes’ men.They were waiting for me.But why? Evans wondered.He couldn't remember offending Superintendent Hayes in any way. And the fact that the CIA under Hayes' orders were now hunting him like he was some hardened criminal was a Reason to be concerned already.All his life he had been dedicated to the services of the CIA, serving the same nation that had never
Chapter 211: The Professor’s Revelation!
The walk to Professor Layton’s office felt longer than it should have. Every step echoed through Jackson’s chest like a drumbeat. His friends had wanted to follow, but he waved them off—whatever this was, it was meant for him alone. Still, he couldn’t shake the weight of their concerned stares as he pushed open the heavy door.The office smelled faintly of ink and old parchment. Stacks of books were piled on every available surface, spilling over with notes that looked older than the University itself. Behind the cluttered desk sat Professor Layton, always the man he was known to be.“Come in, Jackson,” Layton said immediately, his tone clipped but not unkind. “Close the door behind you.”Jackson obeyed, unease twisting in his gut. He had never been close to Layton—in fact, he had always avoided him. The man’s involvement with the Red Tails and Don Lewis was no secret to him, and that was reason enough to steer clear. Yet here he was, summoned into the very den he had hoped never to s
Chapter 210: The Professor’s Summon!
When Jackson returned to his friends, their curious faces told him they wouldn’t let the matter slide.“So?” James asked, tilting his head with his ever usual mischievous smirk. “What did the senator’s daughter want? Did she finally confess her undying love for you?”Nancy rolled her eyes and elbowed him sharply. “Don’t be ridiculous, James. This is Joanne Moore we’re talking about. Tell us, Jackson. What did she say?”Jackson sighed, running a hand through his hair. He knew keeping it to himself would only make things worse later, so he didn’t hesitate. “She overheard a conversation between Tyler and Trey. According to her, they’re planning something against the entire university. She said my name came up too, but she couldn’t catch the details.”The laughter that had filled their reunion drained instantly. The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of Jackson’s words settling like a storm cloud over them.Before James or Nancy could reply, Hailey drew in a sharp breath. “That m
Chapter 209: Campus Shadows!
The campus grounds buzzed with life as Jackson stepped through the arched gates of the University. The spring air was cool, filled with chatter and laughter, but the moment he appeared, the atmosphere shifted. Conversations dimmed. Heads turned. Dozens of eyes locked onto him as though a ghost had walked among them.Jackson kept his head low, ignoring the murmurs that rippled through the courtyard. That’s him… Jackson Hart… he’s back? Some students whispered in awe, others in suspicion. He pushed past it, determined not to let their stares pin him down. He had missed an entire semester, half his world had been torn apart and yet here, life went on as if nothing had happened.He never imagined returning to school in this manner of being stripped of the one thing that had been more important to him than even the Hart’s wealth. But here he was, like every other student except for the fact that he was the heir to the Hart’s Empire—the most powerful Empire in the world.Then he heard it—fa
