chapter 79
Lucas’ eye darted around, panic flashing in them before he steeled his face. He straightened and barked at his men, “What are you waiting for? Beat him up!” His guards hesitated, glancing at each other. I turned my gaze toward them. Just one look. Their entire demeanor changed. Their faces paled, hands twitching at their sides. One of them instinctively stepped back, then another. Lucas noticed and scoffed. “What? Are you afraid of him or me?!” he snapped, furious. The hesitation only lasted a second. Forced by Darius’ order, they lunged at me. They never stood a chance. I moved before they even got close. A quick punch sent the first one flying back, crashing onto the ground with a groan. The second barely had time to react before I grabbed his arm, twisting it and sending him sprawling face-first into the pavement. The rest came at me, but they might as well have been moving in slow motion. Within seconds, they were all on the ground, groaning, unconscious, or too afraid to m

I turned back to Lucas, my gaze sharp. “Where do you sell those people? And what are they being used for?”Lucas lifted his chin, a smirk creeping onto his lips despite his situation. “Oh, Ryder, you think you’re some hero? You think you can stop something like this? You have no idea how deep it goes.”I didn’t hesitate.Smack!My palm connected with his face so hard his head snapped to the side. His smirk vanished.I leaned in. “Say the truth if you want to leave here alive.”Lucas groaned, blinking rapidly. Then he let out a bitter chuckle. “I only follow my father’s orders. I don’t know anything beyond that.”I reached into my pocket and pulled out the USB drive I’d found earlier.The moment his eyes landed on it, his entire face changed. The blood drained from his skin, his pupils dilating with pure shock.I didn’t miss it.I smirked. “You recognize this, don’t you?”Darius swallowed hard, quickly looking down at the floor as if avoiding my gaze would make it disappear.“Is this t

I pushed myself up, shaking off the pain. The giant men came closing in fast. They were confident in themselves.Big mistake.I analyzed them quickly. They were too slow but built like tanks. The first one lunged at me, his massive fist swinging forward. Instead of dodging backward, I stepped into his attack at the last second, ducking low as his arm passed over my head. Using his own momentum against him, I planted my foot and drove my elbow hard into his throat.He choked, stumbling back, gasping for air.The second giant roared, charging like an enraged bull. I sidestepped just in time. I twisted my body and slammed a kick to the side of his knee.There was a loud CRACK echoed.He let out a grunt of pain as his knee buckled sideways.I didn’t stop. I grabbed his thick wrist and twisted it brutally and slammed his head straight into the concrete floor. His body collapsed, not moving.The first giant—still gasping—tried to stand, but I was faster. I dashed forward and delivered a br

The guard’s smug expression didn’t waver. He crossed his arms and sneered. "You think talking big will get you inside? I don't buy it."He crumpled the invitation card slightly in his grip, he narrowed his eyes as if she was trying to intimidate me. "People like you always try to sneak into places where you don’t belong. get out now or I throw you out before you cause any trouble."The second guard stepped forward. "You're wasting our time. Just admit you stole this invitation, and maybe we won’t have to rough you up too badly."Before I could respond, Delilah moved forward, her expression furious. "You have no right to treat us like this! We were invited—" One of the guards shoved her aside roughly. "Stay out of this, girl. This has nothing to do with you."Delilah stumbled back with a sharp gasp.That was the last straw.My gaze snapped to the guard who had pushed her. A cold, sharp anger twisted in my chest, but I didn’t lash out—I didn’t need to. Instead, I took a single step for

I ran through the hospital doors with Cain slung over my back, his body limp, his breathing shallow. His blood soaked through my shirt, but I barely felt it. Delilah was right behind me, her footsteps frantic against the tiled floor.“Help! "Someone help us!” she cried, her voice echoing through the hallway.A team of nurses and doctors rushed toward us, their expressions shifting to alarm the moment they saw Cain’s condition.“He’s been stabbed,” I said, my voice tight. “I stopped the bleeding, but he needs a surgeon.”One of the doctors nodded sharply, gesturing toward a gurney. “Put him here.”I gently laid Cain down, watching as they wheeled him away, pushing him toward the ICU. Delilah made a move to follow, but a nurse stepped in her way.“I’m sorry, ma’am. You have to wait outside.”Delilah looked like she wanted to argue, but I placed a hand on her shoulder. “Let them do their job.”Her lips trembled, but she nodded.As the doors swung shut, I finally let out a breath, my hand
Chapter 74
The drive to the abandoned church was quiet. Cain sat in the passenger seat, staring out of the window, his fingers nervously tapping against his knee. The bruises on his face had darkened, making him look worse than before, but he barely seemed to notice his injuries. His mind was elsewhere—probably on the notebook.The air was heavy with unspoken words, but I didn’t push him. Not yet.Instead, I focused on the road, my hands gripping the steering wheel as I maneuvered through the dimly lit streets. As we left the city behind, the surroundings became eerily silent, the only sound being the hum of the engine.Finally, after nearly an hour, Cain motioned towards an old, broken-down building surrounded by dead trees. The wooden structure looked like it could collapse at any second, and the once grand entrance was now covered in vines and dirt. The windows were shattered, and the heavy wooden doors creaked loudly as we pushed them open.The air inside smelled of dust and decay.Cain led
