Chapter 512: Betty And Sierra Plans
Elijah stood up from the car slowly, eyes still fixed on the camera pole.“Tomorrow,” he said calmly, turning to Phantom, “you people begin with Felix.”Felix nodded immediately.“Find the control access for that camera,” Elijah continued, “and any others covering this road. I want full coverage before the shot, during, and after. Every vehicle. Every pedestrian. Every shadow that moved.”Phantom adjusted the long gun in his hand and nodded once.“It’ll be done.”“And don’t just check this stretch,” Elijah added. “Trace exits from this road too. Whoever did this had an escape route planned.”Felix looked at him seriously. “We’ll map it.”Elijah’s tone remained steady, but there was weight behind it now.“I need all details before I travel out for Christmas vacation,” he said. “No assumptions. No loose ends.”Phantom’s eyes darkened slightly.“You’ll have answers.”Elijah gave a final glance toward the buildings ahead, then slipped his hands into his pockets.“They thought tonight was

“And there’s a quick solution—but you have to listen carefully.”She sat upright on the bed, phone pressed to her ear. “I’m listening.”“When you push your internal flow,” Elijah said, “you’re drawing it straight up—forcefully—through the center. That’s why it rebounds and damages you.”She frowned. “That’s how I was taught.”“I know,” he said. “That method works only after stabilization. You’re skipping a gate.”He continued, voice steady and precise, as if reading straight from the unseen text.“Instead of pushing upward, divert it downward first. Anchor it. Let it spread through your lower core—slowly—before guiding even a fraction upward.”Aurora closed her eyes instinctively.“Now,” Elijah said, “don’t force anything. Just breathe. In through your nose for four counts. Hold for two. Out through your mouth for six.”She did it.“I’m doing it,” she whispered.“Good,” he said. “As you breathe out, imagine the pressure dissolving—not rising. Like water settling into the ground.”Auro
Chapter 510: Let me Be your Bodyguard
Elijah looked up at Felix and asked quietly,“What makes you think so?”Felix shrugged slightly. “It’s just normal to think that way,” he said. “You’ve had issues with certain high-profile people. Powerful people. So I don’t know… it could be that someone decided to target you.”Elijah nodded slowly. “I think so too,” he admitted. “I just don’t know who exactly. Whether it’s the Haldens… or someone else entirely.”Felix’s expression tightened. “So what are you going to do then?”Elijah leaned back slightly, his voice calm but resolved.“Sierra shouldn’t be asleep yet. Once she is, I’ll leave and start finding things out.”Felix understood immediately. He nodded.“Alright. I’ll be checking, so if she’s asleep, then I’ll come tell you.”Elijah nodded once more. “Okay.”Felix turned, opened the door quietly, and walked out, closing it gently behind him.Meanwhile, Elijah sat quietly, his thoughts shifting.Could it be the Hansen family?The timing… the silence… the reach—it wouldn’t be i
Chapter 509: Don’t you think you’re being targeted
Meanwhile, in another quiet room,Shadows daughter, Jessica sat on the edge of her bed, the lights dim, the curtains half-drawn. Her phone was in her hands, screen glowing softly in the darkness.On it was a picture of Elijah.It wasn’t posed. It wasn’t planned.It was a picture she had taken secretly the last time they went out together—him standing slightly to the side, focused on something else.She traced the edge of the screen with her thumb, her expression conflicted.“So annoying…” she murmured.She leaned back against the headboard, staring at the image like it might suddenly change. Memories surfaced—his voice, his composure.“So many people around you,” she whispered, more to herself than anyone else.She lay back and stared at the ceiling, thoughts tangled, wondering why one man who hadn’t promised her anything had managed to occupy her mind so completely.Meanwhile, the two cars finally pulled into the estate one after the other.The Prado went in first. Sierra parked care
Chapter 508: Aurora Calls Elijah
Elijah turned to her gently, noticing how tense she was. “It’s really nothing to make a big deal out of,” he said calmly. “Probably just a random robbery attempt or some reckless idiot firing blindly. These things happen sometimes.” Sierra glanced at him, still unsettled. “But… a bullet? That’s not normal.” He gave a small, reassuring smile. “I know it sounds scary, but look at me,” he said softly. “I’m fine. Nothing happened. The glass shattered, that’s all. No injury.” He rested his hand lightly on her arm. “Let’s not overthink it, okay? I don’t want you panicking over something that’s already done.” Sierra exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself. “You’re sure?” “I’m sure,” Elijah replied without hesitation. “If it was serious, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you this calmly.” She nodded, though worry still lingered in her eyes. “Alright… if you say so.” Elijah turned back to the window, his expression relaxed on the surface. In the BMW behind them, the road hummed qu
Recap II
Sierra couldn’t take it anymore.Her fingers trembled as she hit Elijah’s name again, her heart racing. The call connected almost immediately.“Hello?” Elijah’s voice came through.“Baby!” Sierra cried out, panic spilling into her words. “Are you bleeding a lot? Are you hurt badly? Felix is driving, Betty is here too—we’re on our way. I’m calling an ambulance and the police, okay?”Inside the BMW, Elijah shook his head quickly even though she couldn’t see him.“No, no, no—don’t do that,” he said firmly but gently. “I’m fine. I thought I was bleeding at first, but I realized the bullet didn’t hit me.”There was a pause on the line.“I’m not bleeding at all, babe,” he continued calmly. “It missed the target. The glass shattered, that’s all. The windshield was strong.”“Really?” Sierra asked, her voice breaking as relief washed over her. You could hear her breathing slow down.“Yes,” Elijah said softly. “Of course. I’m okay.”In the car, Sierra leaned back against the seat, closing her e
