Chapter 79: The Rescue Mission
Hansen ran through the stone corridors of the Red Tower, his breath ragged, his heartbeat thundering in his ears. Once he reached the surface, he sprinted toward his old car parked at the eastern side of the ruins. The night air bit at his skin, but his mind was consumed with a single name: Kira.He flung the door open and dropped into the driver’s seat. His phone was lying on the dashboard—its screen lit up with several messages from Elara.From Elara:“Hansen! Kira is missing!! I just went to the bathroom for a second and… she was gone!”Hansen immediately hit the call button.Click. “Elara, calm down. Tell me what happened.”Elara’s voice came through, panicked and shaking. “I... I really don’t know! We were at the inn, I just went to the bathroom for a few minutes. When I came out, the room was empty! The window was shut, no sound, no sign of a struggle...”Hansen gripped the steering wheel, eyes fixed forward. “Did you smell any magic? Or blood?”“No… I mean, not clearly. But som
Chapter 78: The Truth Beneath the Altar
Hansen followed Seraphina’s light footsteps, descending the spiral staircase hidden behind the blood-red altar. The sound of rushing wind and a distant rumble grew louder, blending with the pounding of his heart.“This place… it’s been here since the ancient war era?” Hansen asked, his eyes scanning the walls etched with glowing blue carvings.Seraphina nodded. “This is the heart of the Red Tower—the place where seals and truths too dangerous for the world are kept.”They entered a wide chamber, its walls covered in ancient writings and luminous symbols. At the center pulsed a crimson cube of energy—beating slowly like a heart from the past.“You know about Lilith and her blood, but this…” Seraphina gestured to the cube. “This is the ‘Primordial Vessel,’ the source of the power flowing within Kira. Right now, she is only a half-vessel. If completed… that power could reopen the gates of hell.”Hansen stepped closer, feeling a surge of energy that raised the hairs on his neck.“The Thir
Chapter 77: Interrogation within the Aura
The shattered corridor began to settle, but the air still held remnants of the spiritual pressure that had just been unleashed.Veyna slowly lowered her hand. The symbol of the split moon in the air had vanished, and the look in her eyes shifted from playful to alert. She knew—one wrong move, and the young man before her would turn into a cold executioner without hesitation.But Hansen didn't move. He only stared, sharp and piercing—as if his gaze could stab into her very soul."I’ll ask three times, Veyna," Hansen said quietly. Yet in his voice flowed an aura like the weight of a colossal mountain. "If you lie... your body will answer with pain."Veyna sneered, but her body trembled slightly. That aura wasn’t just a threat—it was a form of high-level spiritual illusion power only used by a Spiritual Dominator."First: who sent you?""...The Third Shadow Council," Veyna finally replied. "They sensed a hybrid bloodline involving Lilith... and Kira is on their list."Hansen's eyes narro
Chapter 76: Shadows Beneath the Red Tower
Two nights had passed since that meeting.Yet Seraphina’s shadow still lingered in Hansen’s mind. Her words, the way she said “your woman,” and especially: *“meet me beneath the Red Tower”—*it all echoed like the curse of a memory.In his apartment, Hansen sat still at the edge of his bed. His eyes stared at his phone, lit up with messages from Chelsea, Alyssa, and even Elara—all asking the same thing.“What’s wrong, Han? You haven’t shown up in two days.”“We’re all looking for you. You know Kira is getting anxious again,” said Elara.“If this is about the curse, I can help.”But Hansen hadn’t replied to a single one. He was mapping things out in his mind. The dots from Seraphina’s information were connecting: mixed blood, the vampire throne, and Kira.Kira.*****Elsewhere in the city, deep in the basement of an old library now locked up by the government, an old man in a gray robe stared at a half-burned painting.The painting depicted a woman with blood-red hair, and glowing viole
Chapter 75: Night Without Light
The night sky appeared calm, but the atmosphere on the road began to shift as Hansen's black car entered the outskirts of the city. Trees along the roadside swayed gently in the wind, creating faint whispering sounds.Suddenly—click!All the streetlights went out at once. The road was engulfed in darkness, lit only by his car’s headlights.Hansen tapped the steering wheel twice. A small panel opened on the dashboard, revealing a screen with faint spiritual pulses. His hand extended, and in an instant, his spiritual senses expanded like an invisible mist.“…Three aura points. Moving fast… closing in from the front, left, and rear,” he muttered calmly.He didn’t stop the car—instead, he accelerated. But his eyes remained locked on the spiritual sensor.Ding… ding… ding.Short signals appeared on the left side of the screen.—Low magical power, but dense killing intent. Not ordinary humans.“Mid-level spiritual interference. Someone’s trying to cloud my perception.”Suddenly, a red flash
Chapter 74: Wrath in the Shadows
In an underground room lined with soundproof metal walls, the scent of expensive incense hung in the air. A crystal chandelier swayed gently from the ceiling, casting a dim light over the shadowed faces seated in a circle.A man in a black suit stood at the center, his body tense as he faced the figure seated in the main chair. That figure wore a charcoal-colored suit and a glossy black mask that revealed only two glowing red eyes.“I’m sorry, sir…” the man’s voice trembled. “The backup base at the Northern Port… destroyed. None of the assassins we sent… made it back.”Silence.One second.Two seconds.Three—CRASH!A crystal glass shattered against the wall. The masked figure slowly stood, radiating pressure.“Who did this?” The voice was low, but it carried the heat of restrained fury.“Initial reports… the Mamba Gang was involved. Alongside someone named Hansen. He—”“Hansen?” The voice turned cold. “He single-handedly defeated our elite mercenaries. He’s worth watching.”Another f
Chapter 73: The Burning Ember
"Uncle." Hansen greeted, his voice heavy with emotion.Alex Harmono slowly lifted his face from the wooden chair in the backyard—a place he used to sit with Ferdinan in the evenings. Now, only the night wind kept him company, carrying the faint scent of frangipani flowers that could not soothe his heart."Hansen..." Alex murmured, his voice hoarse. "Thank you for coming."Hansen bowed deeply. "I... couldn’t save him, Uncle. I was too late."Alex shook his head slowly. "It wasn’t your fault. But I know my son... If he suspected something, he wouldn’t stop until he found the truth."He took a deep breath, his teary eyes gazing at the sky."Ferdinan was stubborn. If he had a hunch, he’d dig and dig, no matter what."Hansen sat on the bench beside him. "I think he uncovered something big, Uncle. A company called Asturia Venture. A front for illegal transactions. Maybe that’s why he was... silenced."Alex closed his eyes for a moment. "I’ve heard that name. A few years ago, some suspicious
Chapter 72: A Deliberate Collision
On the other side of the city, the atmosphere was far from the peaceful morning Hansen and Alyssa had enjoyed.Ferdinan was driving alone, cruising along a not-so-busy main road. He had just left a small meeting with his internal team—a meeting discussing suspicious transaction traces from a shell company trying to infiltrate Harmono Group’s business network.He glanced at the phone screen on the passenger seat. There was one unopened message from an unknown number: "You're getting too curious, Mr. Ferdinan."Ferdinan frowned. But before he could read more—CRASH!!!A large truck suddenly slammed into the left side of his car at high speed. The impact sent Ferdinan’s vehicle spiraling, flipping twice in the air before slamming down onto the asphalt and landing upside down.The windshield shattered. The sound of horns and car alarms blared in unison.Blood trickled from Ferdinan's temple. His body was pinned by the seatbelt, gasping for breath inside the now-crumpled cabin.But what wa
Chapter 71: A Leisurely Stroll
The morning air was still fresh as Hansen and Alyssa stepped out of the apartment. They decided to take a walk after breakfast, enjoying the city as it slowly awakened from its slumber.“So, where are we going?” Alyssa asked, sipping the coffee she had just bought from a small roadside café.Hansen shrugged. “I don’t have a plan. Just wanted to get out. Got any ideas?”Alyssa thought for a moment, then smiled. “I know a nice place. Follow me.”Without much conversation, Hansen nodded and followed her lead. They strolled along the sidewalk, passing shops just opening for the day and people hurrying to start theirs.After about twenty minutes of walking, they arrived at a small park tucked between tall buildings. Shaded trees and a small fountain created a serene atmosphere, far removed from the city’s hustle and bustle.“This is my favorite spot,” Alyssa admitted, sitting on a wooden bench near the fountain. “I come here when I need a clear mind.”Hansen looked around, then sat beside
