The knife pressed deeper into Emily’s neck.

Sylvester saw a thin line of red form against her pale skin. That was all it took.

His entire body froze, but not in fear.

Rage bubbled up inside him like a dam about to break.

His heart pounded like a war drum, echoing in his ears. The blockers barked orders he didn’t hear. The world around him seemed to stretch, warp, slow down.

All he could focus on was Emily…her wide, brave eyes, the way her chest rose and fell steadily even in the face of death, the small tremble in her lower lip she was trying to hide.

They were going to kill her.

They were actually going to kill her.

And that was when something inside him broke.

His body jerked. His eyes widened, glowing faintly with golden energy. He gasped, clutching his chest as if something had just been torn out and sewn anew.

The energy erupted.

A blinding pulse exploded from his body, crackling like lightning. The air itself shimmered.

The men holding Emily screamed as they wer

    Emily inhaled deeply, taking her time to breath in the air above ground while the others paused to wait for her. They were finally above ground now that the business Underground had been taken care off and Emily was glad she could breath in fresh air again and feel the sunlight against her skin once more. They all were. She breathed in deeply one last time with a smile on her face then opened her eyes to look at her husband. His aura was still radiating out from his body, more brighter and power than before but there was also one thing about it she could see that others couldn't. A thing black strip was intertwined with the pure white radiance he originally gave out before and she gave a small frown as she looked at it. Yes, she was happy Sylvester was getting his powers back and growing more still through cultivation but it bothered her still. Something about it all was corrupting him slowly. She recalled the image of him blowing up the prisoner with Jasper's house and the blood

    He folded it carefully, slid it into his tactical suit secret pocket, and rose. Otto was already wiping his blade clean on a fallen blocker, his breathing steady, his eyes scanning for danger.“You got what you needed, sir?” Otto asked, his voice low but sharp.“Not sure yet,” Sylvester admitted, patting were he had placed the blueprint on his body. “But it feels… important. Too important to leave behind.”Without another word, they slipped back into the corridor. The carnage was still fresh—bodies sprawled at unnatural angles, blood trailing across the cracked tiles, gunpowder clinging to the air. Neither men looked back.When they stepped outside, it was already early evening. The horizon was smudged with the first hints of sunset. Emily and Katrina stood waiting, their blades stained, their black tactical suit slick with blood. Behind them, Team 2 stood at alert. Emily’s sharp eyes immediately locked onto Sylvester, recognizing the look on his face. “You found something.”Sylvest

    “Have you heard from the men we sent out to Jasper's place?” Drake asked Viktor who shook his head. “That's weird. Those men are highly trained. Jasper shouldn't be a problem.” he said thoughtfully rubbing the tip of his dreads between his finger tips. “Sylvester too hasnt shown up for the duel. We can't give the order to the recon team to proceed as planned.” Viktor pointed out. “Hey you… contact the team. Tell them to hold. That anyone who moves without orders will lose his head.” Drake ordered and the person spoken to raced off. Few minutes he returned breathless. “Sir… I can't connect to them.” he said,gaspijg for breath. “What do you mean?” Viktor demanded. “It's either turned off or has bad connectivity.” the man explained. Drake's brow furrowed. “That's new… anyway keep trying.”The man hurried off. “Something doesn't feel right.” Viktor muttered to himself. He looked at the time. It was morning already. Maybe Sylvester got cold feet. ****“We hit at once. Each duo w

    “We are moving on with the plan.” he announced to everyone gathered, his eyes landing on each in turn. The room was crowded as Katrina, Gerald who was back, Otto who had come down from the surface with Horzert and Emily stood looking down at the blueprints spread out before them. Each had a grim look on their face as he laid out the plan. “One question.” Otto said, raising up his hand for attention. Sylvester gestured to him to go on. “Let's hear what you have to say.”“What do we about the men lurking outside?” Otto asked, pointing out the window. Sylvester became instantly alert. He closed his eyes and began cultivating, his essence searching and picking out the intruders. Six of them in total, all having the aura of the blockers clan. Damn. He was getting old for him to have missed their poorly disguised aura in the first place. His former self would have picked them out immediately they stepped within the area. Damn. “Everyone wait here. I will be back.” He created an aft
