Chapter 362
The smell of smoke still hung heavily in the air.The warehouse was almost completely destroyed. Pieces of metal lay scattered across the ground, and thick black smoke rose from the broken walls. The explosion had been so powerful that even the buildings nearby had suffered some damage.Adrian stood among the ruins, his eyes moving from one corner to another.“Check over there!” he ordered one of the men behind him.The man immediately obeyed.Adrian had been searching for several minutes, but there was still no sign of Divine or Karl. He had hoped to find something useful among the remains of the warehouse, but so far, everything had been a waste of time.The Second God of War approached him, his face hard.“There’s nothing here,” he said. “I’ve checked the other side. No bodies, no survivors, nothing.”Adrian clenched his fists.“Then where the hell did they go?”“I don’t know. But we need to think carefully. Whoever planned this knew exactly what they were doing.”Adrian turned to
Chapter 361 - The Symbol
The red dot led them north, past the last streetlights and out onto a narrow road that ran between empty fields. Adrian watched the dark pass by the window, his hands resting on his knees, his mind on Divine sitting alone under a single yellow bulb.The man drove faster now. He still said nothing. But Adrian noticed that his knuckles had turned pale against the wheel."We are close," the man said at last.Ahead, the old rail yards rose out of the darkness, rusted tracks tangled across the ground, broken signal towers leaning against the sky. Beyond them stood a long, low building with a corrugated roof, its walls streaked with rust.The man stopped the car a hundred meters away and turned off the engine."That is it," Adrian said."Yes."They stepped out. The night air was cold and carried the smell of old oil and wet iron. Somewhere far off, an owl called once and fell silent.Adrian studied the warehouse. Nothing moved. No light showed in the windows. No car sat near the entrance. A
Chapter 360 - The Trace
The drive felt both long and short.Long, because the silence inside the car pressed on Adrian like a hand against his chest. Short, because the streets slid past in a blur of streetlights, and he barely noticed the turns.The man drove with one hand on the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road. He did not speak. He did not look at Adrian. But Adrian could feel him all the same, a steady, heavy presence beside him, the way you feel a storm before the first drop of rain.Something about him was wrong. Not frightening, exactly. Familiar, in a way Adrian could not explain. It was like hearing a song he had never heard and still knowing the next line.Why does he feel like this, Adrian thought, glancing at the man's profile. I have never met him before tonight.He shook the thought away. Divine was the only thing that mattered."Karl attends your daughter's school," Adrian said at last, breaking the silence. "I think we should start there.""We are going there now," the man said.That was all
Chapter 359 - Ghost
Adrian did not wait for Ezra's lawyer, or the police, or anyone else to organize a response. He listened to Daniela's warnings, nodded in all the right places, and then, once she had gone to check on Aria, he slipped quietly out through the side door of the mansion and took one of the cars.He did not know where the warehouse was. But he knew Divine's parents would have the one thing he lacked: a reason for the police to move fast, and someone with the resources to search properly. And he knew he could not sit in his room while she sat in the dark.The drive to Divine's home took fifteen minutes. The house stood in a quiet, wealthy street, its windows glowing with warm yellow light. Adrian parked at the curb, took a breath, and walked up the path. His ribs still ached. His forearm throbbed beneath the bandage. He ignored both.He rang the bell.Footsteps approached, quick and light. The door swung open, and a woman stood there in a pale silk robe, her hair loosely pinned, her face lin
Chapter 358 - Taken
Adrian sat frozen on the edge of his bed, the phone pressed against his ear, trying to make sense of what Divine had just said."Divine, slow down," he said carefully. "Say that again. Where are you?""I don't know," Divine whispered, her voice shaking. "Someone brought me somewhere. Please, Adrian, I'm not joking."Adrian struggled to believe it. Only that afternoon, Divine had been walking through the school courtyard, upset but safe. People did not simply vanish between one evening and the next, and some part of him wondered whether this was a misunderstanding, or a cruel prank dragged out of the endless drama at school."Is this some kind of game?" he asked quietly."No," Divine said, and he could hear her breath catching. "I'm sending you a picture. Look at it."The line stayed open. A few seconds later, his phone vibrated against his ear. Adrian pulled it away and opened the message.The picture was dark and slightly blurred, as though it had been taken in a hurry with shaking h
Chapter 357 - Reclaimed
As the last of the restraints loosened from around his family members' wrists, Adrian watched Vance carefully, understanding the dangerous man's calculated satisfaction masked something considerably darker beneath his composed exterior."You should understand," Vance said, his tone carrying casual, menacing confidence as he studied the pendant still held within Adrian's grip, "I didn't come here personally for simple business transactions. Sam Mitchell owed me a considerable debt, two million dollars he failed to repay after his pathetic failure. Someone needs to settle that obligation.""That has nothing to do with my family," Adrian said sharply."Doesn't it?" Vance said, his smile widening with cruel anticipation. "I think taking something valuable from this household, something beyond simple jewelry, would properly compensate for everything your family has cost me recently."His gaze drifted deliberately toward Aria, who remained standing near the room's edge, her expression carry
