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

Back in the Underground… “Did you come back with everyone you left with?” Emily asked as soon as Sylvester stepped in through the door. “I know you left with your team who was on standby here in the Underground. Where are they? Where's Gerald?”Sylvester explained. “They are investigating something else. I got done with my investigation before them but we will meeting up later. I left Gerald in charge.” “What about Verity?” Katrina asked anxiously before realizing herself. She gradually recollected herself. Sylvester smiled thinly. “I don't blame you. She was like a sister to you. She is safe and sound. It's thanks to her we will be taking certain actions few minutes from now.”She breathed out in relief and left husband and wife together. “So what's the plan?” she asked as soon as they were alone. “We attack tonight here in the Underground.” Emily's eyes took on a stubborn look. “This time__” Sylvester interrupted her. “This time you are coming along.”The words died in Emi

Next Morning…. “You not going with us. I'm leaving you with Katrina.” Sylvester informed a shocked Emily. Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Not this again. “Like hell you are.” she snapped at him, plopping her weapons down on the table between them. “I need you to be safe.” Sylvester tried to make her see reason but she was having none of it. “Like hell you do.” she retorted with the same energy. Sylvester grimaced. “Stop.”“What am I suppose to stop exactly?” she asked, still fuming. “The attitude. It doesn't fit you.”“You should also stop what you trying to do.” she replied. “What am I trying to do exactly?” Sylvester asked her, not quite certain he was on the same page with her. “Leaving me in the dark and treating me with kid gloves. So what if I died a few times? I can take care of myself.”Sylvester threw his hands in the air in exasperation. “See that's just the thing. You are beginning to rely too much on your powers. That's risky and dangerous you know.”

Sylvester didn't know what he was feeling. Hurt, anger, disappointment, betrayal, hatred. They were jumbled together inside of him as he listened to her tell the clans his plans and how to ambush his own clan. “They are getting ready to crack down on the underground as we speak so you all need to act fast. Just don't forget our deal.” Verity was saying and Sylvester felt like someone had twisted a knife in his heart. To think the mole was none other than Verity. But why? Every part of him was itching to crawl out from beneath the floor boards and shake her violently or even wring her slender neck as he asked her what he had done to deserve this betrayal. “I remember your request all too well, young lady.” the same old cracked voice as before said. “What request did she make? We are all in this together so I believe we all have a right to know what she requested, right guys?” another voice challenged and there was a general murmur of agreement. “Silence.” yet another voice
