Ch 76. The Reaper's Black Eyes
The air outside the Sector Five hideout warehouse felt charged, as if even nature were holding its breath at what stepped out from behind the heavy steel doors. The torrential rain from earlier had softened into a cold drizzle, yet the water that touched the ground seemed to avoid the path of Eduardo’s steps. Eduardo walked out. The white hair along the side of his head swayed faintly in the night wind. His skin, pale as funeral marble, made the black veins along his neck look like living curse marks. But the most horrifying thing was his eyes, two pitch-black voids without pupils or irises, only pure darkness that seemed capable of swallowing the light around them. “Gentlemen, we’ve got a target exiting. White hair, no firearm. Looks like the boss,” a Vladimir scout whispered from behind a cluster of concrete across the street, speaking into his radio. Inside Eduardo’s head, the voice rang like a shout. Not because of its volume, but because the system in his brain was
Ch 75. Death Contract
Eduardo stood motionless before a large cracked mirror in the corner of the meditation room. The exposed bulb above him flickered, as if even the current feared touching whatever was being created beneath its light. Eduardo stared at his reflection, but he no longer recognized the man staring back. The hair at the sides of his head, once jet black, had turned completely white. It was a pale, lifeless white, like bone buried for too long. His skin had lost all human warmth, becoming as cold and colorless as funeral marble. But the most horrifying part was his eyes. His pupils and irises had fused into a single, solid black void, swallowing any light that tried to enter. Veins the color of pitch crept from beneath his collar, crawling up toward his jaw like the roots of something rotten. “Looking good, kid. You really look like a discount angel of death,” Grandfather’s voice echoed in his head, accompanied by the faint chime of a shattered hourglass. “Shut up
Ch 74. Blood Oath
The air in the underground clinic of Sector Five always smelled the same, a mix of sharp floor disinfectant, rusted iron from steam pipes, and the faint scent of death that never truly left. Eduardo sat on a plastic chair beside a medical bed. He still wore the same suit from the cannery, torn, scorched at the sleeves, stiff with dried blood. On the bed, Belerik lay pale as tracing paper. His right leg ended below the knee, wrapped in thick bandages already seeping a dark red stain. The heart monitor beside him beeped in a weak but steady rhythm. “You’re awake, Office Rat,” Eduardo murmured as he saw Belerik’s eyelids twitch. Belerik groaned softly. His eyes opened, struggling to focus on the mold-stained concrete ceiling. He tried to move, but a wave of pain slammed into him instantly. “Ed? Where... where are we?” His voice was hoarse, barely audible. “In our hideout. You’re safe.” Eduardo poured water into a plastic cup and held it to Belerik’s lips. Bele
Ch 73. A Mind Held Hostage
Rain in Sector Seven never felt refreshing. The water that fell from the dark night sky mixed with factory soot and chemical vapor, creating a sharp, acidic stench. Eduardo stopped his black SUV three hundred meters from the abandoned fish cannery complex. The massive structure of concrete and rusted steel looked like the carcass of a sea monster stranded in the darkness. "Freya, you in position?" Eduardo whispered into the radio. "I’m on top of the old grain silo. Four hundred meters out. I’ve got visual on the side gate and the second-floor windows," Freya replied. Her voice was steady, though there was a slight catch in her breathing between words. "Ed, you should know... my stomach’s really not cooperating tonight. But don’t worry, my aim won’t miss." "Hold out a little longer, Freya. After this, you’re on full rest," Eduardo said. He glanced at the passenger seat. Gord was checking the magazine of his assault rifle, his face more serious than usual. No jokes about
Ch 72. The Wolf at the Front Door
The city lights beneath the Sark Tower penthouse glowed like embers ready to explode. Eduardo stood on the balcony, letting the harsh wind strike his face. There was no longer the sweet scent of Emily’s perfume or the sound of Chloe’s whining. Only the faint smell of gunpowder carried on the air, and a silence that felt like a second skin. "Boss, you really blocked all her cards?" Gord stepped out from the glass doors, holding an FN SCAR assault rifle. "Belerik said Emily was screaming your name over the phone so loud the server lines almost overheated." "I don’t have time to deal with parasites, Gord," Eduardo replied without turning. "Vladimir has moved into the logistics district. That means he’s already on our front porch." Gord grinned, revealing his uneven teeth. "Good. I was getting bored waiting. The boys are itching to pull the trigger. Only problem is... our ammo’s still tight because of that Swiss villa." Suddenly, an explosion thundered from the sou
Ch 71. Long Distance Betrayal
The air in Sector Five’s control room felt heavy, as if the concrete walls were closing in on them. Eduardo sat in his leather chair, eyes fixed on the monitor displaying a series of high-resolution images captured by Belerik’s intel team in Switzerland. There, amid the poetic snowfall of Zermatt, Emily was laughing freely, a laugh she had not shown in the penthouse for a long time, her head resting on the shoulder of a young blond man in an expensive ski suit. Beep. Belerik slid to the next image. A Rolex Cosmograph Daytona wrapped around the blond man’s wrist. "Eighty thousand dollars, Ed," Belerik said, his voice hoarse with disgust. "Bought two hours ago at the Rue de la Gare boutique. Corporate credit card under the Elena Foundation. He didn’t even try to hide the transaction." Eduardo studied the image. He noted how Emily touched the man’s hand, how she looked at him with a spark that had long disappeared. He searched his chest, trying to summon jealousy,
