CHAPTER 250
It's been two years already and still no sign of Viktor. Some people were already beginning to doubt if he was really still alive or maybe he had moved on with his life. But Sylvester was sure Viktor still had some grand plan, he was just taking his time, waiting for everyone to relax their guard. One thing was certain though to Sylvester; whenever he decided to act, they won't be caught unprepared. Their stronghold, rebuilt the previous year, towered like a fortress of living steel, its reinforced walls humming with layered defenses that could withstand anything short of a natural cataclysm. Patrol units glided through the courtyard with organized precision, and new recruits trained with a discipline that reflected the very heart of the clan: resilience and purpose. Yet, for all the clan’s power and polish, Sylvester found his real peace not within the fortified walls but in the quiet space of the life he built with Emily. They had learned to balance their roles, leaders by d
CHAPTER 249
No other incident occurred after the reported breach and Sylvester gradually relaxed again, permitting himself to enjoy the peace this time. Finally it was time for Emily to give birth and she successfully delivered a baby boy. Everyone who saw him immediately knew he was going to be a handful. He had Sylvester's hair color and eyes. Sylvester held the small bundle in the crooked part of his arm, smiling at his son. Tears blurred his vision but he blinked them away. He had never been this happy before. Time flew by and Sylvester returned to the clan. He told Emily about it and she readily agreed, stating she was already bored with an ordinary life and was considering suggesting going back. When they arrived at the compound two months after Emily's delivery, they couldn't help but stare openly in awe at how transformed it was. Sylvester walked by slowly, his eyes taking everything in. The once-battered front gates glowed with reinforced steel, the clan's insignia embedded
CHAPTER 248
Two weeks at the resort bled past in bliss. Emily loved every second of it. Sylvester tried to. Truthfully, his body still reacted to every unfamiliar sound, immediately switching to combat mode of its a sound he didn't recognize but still despite that, he was trying his best to be deliberate in the learning process. Every morning, Emily woke up first, humming some songs she remembered from childhood while she flipped through baby name lists on her tablet. Sylvester would lie beside her, pretending he didn’t hear her whispering to the baby or giggling when the baby kicked at random moments. Other times, she dragged him for long walks on the sand, resting often but determined to stay active. It was complete transformation from the corporate woman he knew her as to a carefree dedicated wife and soon to be mother. But despite the peace, something flickered under Sylvester’s skin.. a subtle pull, like an invisible tether back to the clan. He didn’t mention it, not wanting to ruin an
CHAPTER 247
The first morning at the resort felt like waking into a different universe entirely. Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, painting warm streaks across the walls of the room. For a moment after waking, Sylvester didn’t move, preferring to simply lay there, listening to Emily’s gentle breathing beside him and the distant hum of waves rolling onto the shore. Ah… so this is what peace truly feels like? It was a sensation alien to him. Emily stirred after a few minutes, stretching lightly with a low sigh. Her hand instinctively landed on her belly, and she smiled when she felt the baby kick happily in response to her touch. “You’re awake,” Sylvester murmured, turning his head to look at her. “Barely,” she said with satisfied smile, voice thick with sleep. “Did you sleep any?” “A little.” He admitted. “More than I expected actually.” He didn’t tell her that he had woken up twice, expecting danger, expecting the sharp press of reality to hit him. And each time he’d fo
CHAPTER 246
The first few months after the government ceremonies moved like a slow, unfamiliar breeze through the clan. Everything was calmer, almost unnervingly too calm considering what the clan had gone through. No sudden alarms. No explosions rocking the earth. No orders shouted through smoke. It was the first time in months that Sylvester woke up without the taste of battle lingering at the back of his throat. But he wasn’t entirely at peace yet. He still had a lot of work to do and Viktor to hunt. Only then would he wholly embrace peace. Thanks to the news of their victory against superhuman clones, people were coming in from everywhere with the desire to be members of the clan, including those with the potential to cultivate and the ordinary citizens. Also, the world has officially accepted him as the CEO of Red Dragon and he had fished out those corrupt guards who carried out illegal missions for government officials and handed them over to be punished. Now every platoon leader from
CHAPTER 245
Sylvester barely slept that night. The hotel room the government had arranged for him and his team as they arrived later in the day was comfortable… too comfortable, almost offensive in how pristine it felt after what they had just come from. He sat by the window long after Gerald and Otto had gone to their rooms, watching the city lights glitter like nothing had happened. Like lives hadn’t been lost. Like his clan hadn’t bled for a country that didn’t understand what had truly been lurking beneath its own soil. By sunrise, he was already dressed, the adrenaline of unfinished business pushing him forward. The government had scheduled a “national address and media engagement.” Gerald had read the announcement out loud the previous night, but Sylvester barely reacted. He didn’t care about the cameras. He cared about the truth. He cared about the people who deserved to be honored for their sacrifice. When they arrived at the central government hall, everything felt unnecessaril
