Chapter 140: Back to Where It All Began!
The wind whispered through the ruins of the old monastery as the trio, Jackson, Mr. Copper and Evans, stood in the middle of the scorched sanctum.Jackson stepped forward toward the blackened altar that Evans had talked about, wondering what would be next, as he wasn’t so sure if he should actually do this or not. But they had come all the way to Montgomery for this, and there was no way he could turn back now.He could feel the heat rising beneath his skin, as though the Flame within him recognized this place. It tugged at his soul with urgency—like it was reaching home.“This is it,” Mr. Copper said softly, placing a hand on Jackson’s shoulder. “The place where the legacy began. Where your father’s life changed forever.”Evans stood off to the side, eyes fixed on the burnt sigils etched into the altar stone. He knew this moment could bring answers—about Philip Hart, about Flameborn, and perhaps… his own father.Jackson placed his palm on the cold surface of the altar.And then—every

Evans didn’t hesitate as he took his seat even if no one offered him any.“I know you’re the Flameborn, Jackson,” he said. “I know your father, Philip Hart, was the first Flameborn in over a thousand years. And I also know… that Flameborn never wakes alone.”Jackson’s expression didn’t change—but Mr. Copper shifted slightly, a flicker of unease passing across his face.Evans pressed on. “The monk in Montgomery told me the truth. Every time the Flame awakens… the Phoenix follows. Not just any Phoenix. The Silver Phoenix. Its dark mirror.”Jackson’s eyes narrowed, still trying to understand what Evans was driving at. “We already know the Phoenix has awakened. We just don’t know who it’s inside.”“I’m not talking about now,” Evans clarified. “I’m talking about then. Your father’s time.”Mr. Copper’s brow furrowed. “You’re suggesting Philip wasn’t the only one chosen back then?”Evans nodded. “Exactly. The monk said the Flame never comes without its shadow. That means—somewhere during you
Chapter 138: Trey’s Unleashing!
The storm began just after midnight.The skies above the capital cracked open with unnatural thunder—no lightning, no rain at first. Just wind. Furious, howling wind that swept through the streets like a predator. Flags tore from buildings, traffic lights bent under pressure, and rooftops groaned as the air pressure shifted violently.Then came the surge—blinding flashes of white-silver light pulsed through the clouds, illuminating the skyline with a ghostly radiance. And in the center of it all—hovering above the heart of the storm—was a figure.Clad in an aura of pale silver flames that shimmered and hissed like liquid lightning, his body levitated effortlessly. His veins glowed beneath his skin, pulsing with raw power. His eyes, once a gentle brown, now mirrored the storm—pure silver, unblinking, infinite.The Silver Phoenix had awakened fully and it was hungry.Below, chaos reigned.A city bus lost control and swerved into a crowded sidewalk. Power lines sparked and exploded. A co
Chapter 137: Mission Accomplished!
“The day of the Red Eclipse is upon us…”Evans hadn’t spoken since they left Montgomery. Neither had Samantha. But the silence between them wasn’t discomfort—it was calculation. Reflection. Both of them had heard something that changed everything.The moment Evans pulled into the CIA headquarters garage, he sensed something was off. The security officer at the checkpoint barely nodded. The scanner light blinked twice—delayed. Inside, more eyes followed him than usual and they were just too many.He didn’t even get a chance to remove his ID tag before a Level 5 agent—Agent Cross—stepped into his path near the east corridor.“Director Whitaker would like to see you,” he said, tone clipped. “Now.”Evans exhaled slowly, nodded, and turned to Samantha. “Stay in the car. Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t follow me.”Samantha gave him a crooked smile. “Don’t worry. I know how to play ghost.”Evans followed Agent Cross through the towering halls of the agency until they reached the door that never

Evans and Samantha turned at the same time, startled by the raspy voice that had cut through the thick, quiet air of the ruin. Standing by the half-collapsed doorway was an elderly man in a long brown robe tied with frayed cord.Samantha took an instinctive step back. “Who the hell is that?”Evans stood up fully, his fingers brushing off the dust. “I’m not sure.”He knew where they were was one of the monasteries where according to his investigation, the monks once protected, and if he should judge by the man’s appearance, he wouldn’t be wrong to identify him as one of the monks.The old man took a step forward, his sandals silent on the dusty floor. “You should not be here,” he said again, voice stronger this time.Evans met his gaze. “Why not?”The man said nothing at first, and was just walking around as if trying to make sure that nothing that had been stolen from the place.“I don’t owe you an answer, young man. So, if I were you, I’d be leaving right away,” the man replied, this
Chapter 135: A trip to Montgomery!
The morning sun rose over the capital, veiling the city in gold as if mocking the darkness beneath its streets. For Inspector Evans Tony, sleep had become a distant memory—replaced by files, questions, and unanswered whispers that led to one singular word:Flameborn.He stood by the window of his CIA-owned apartment, scanning the list of names and locations he’d compiled the night before. Every lead pointed to one place. The place where Philip Hart’s life had allegedly transformed.Montgomery.The birthplace of whispers. The city no one talks about unless they’ve lived its silence.He sipped black coffee as the old question burned inside him: What really happened to my father fifteen years ago? And what was so special about Flameborn that made Philip Hart so feared and revered?He didn’t tell Whitaker. He wouldn’t. Not after how the director tried to bury every attempt to investigate Jackson. If Whitaker didn’t want the truth uncovered, then he would dig until it strangled him.After
