Chapter 179: The Ancient Truth
The eerie silence in the chamber was deafening. Ayla and Zara were pressed against the cold stone, their ragged breathing the only sound in the otherwise still air. The creature was still below them, snarling and clawing at the walls, but it could do nothing now but wait. They were safe, at least for the moment.But neither of them felt safe.Ayla gritted her teeth against the pain in her side, her hand pressed firmly against the wound. The blood was slow to stop, but she couldn’t afford to let it slow her down. There was still too much to do, too many questions to answer. How had the creature found them? Why had it attacked? And most importantly, what the hell was it?Zara, still gripping the ledge above her, glanced at Ayla, her expression tight with anxiety. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” Ayla snapped, although she could feel the weakness creeping in. She forced herself to sit up straighter, ignoring the pulse of pain. “We can’t stay here. We need to move.”Zara nodded, but she didn’t
Chapter 178: The Beast Below
The growl echoed in the tunnel like a distant storm rolling in. Ayla’s pulse quickened as her eyes locked onto the creature that loomed in front of them. It wasn’t human, and it wasn’t anything Ayla had ever encountered in her years of combat. This was something primal, something born from the shadows beneath the earth itself.Zara, her hand trembling as she held her gun, whispered, “What is that thing?”Ayla’s mind raced, but there was no time to analyze the situation. The creature was getting closer, its massive form blocking the path forward. Its glowing green eyes pierced through the darkness, as though it could see into their very souls. Its breath was ragged, almost mechanical, as though it were something more than just a beast.Ayla motioned for Zara to stay quiet and slow her breathing. They needed a plan, but there was no time to formulate one. The creature lunged forward, its claws scraping against the stone walls as it reached for them with unnatural speed.Without thinking
Chapter 177: the Abyss
The trapdoor slammed shut, sealing Ayla inside the hidden basement. The sudden silence that followed was suffocating. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her heart pounding in her chest. The echoes of the falling men still lingered in the air, a grim reminder of the price of betrayal. But it wasn’t over, not yet.Ayla’s hand instinctively reached for her gun, but the familiar weight of the weapon was no comfort now. Her mind was racing, trying to piece together the chaos. Marcus was no longer just a traitor, he was a monster, using everyone around him as pawns in a game he had already won. The realization made Ayla sick to her stomach.She didn’t have much time. The men she had just trapped would not stay down for long. They were too well-trained, too determined. Ayla could hear their muffled shouts as they recovered below, calling for backup, their voices tinged with anger.Her only option now was to escape. The safe house was compromised, there was no way she could stay there. But Zara
Chapter 176: The Price of Betrayal
The air outside the warehouse was cold and unforgiving, a biting chill sweeping across the streets as Ayla and Zara stumbled into the darkness, bloodied but alive.The explosion had torn apart the narrow hallway they’d fled through, sending debris scattering in all directions. They had barely made it out of the inferno unscathed. But the worst part was the realization that their enemies were not just rogue players, they were organized, dangerous, and they knew exactly who Ayla and Zara were.“We need to get to the safe house,” Ayla said, her voice low and strained. She glanced around, her eyes darting back and forth as she kept watch for any movement. She knew they weren’t safe yet. The whole situation felt like a trap, and they were the bait.Zara nodded, her face pale and streaked with grime. She wasn’t as quick to trust their plan as Ayla was, but the urgency in her eyes matched her leader’s. They had no choice.They moved quickly through the back alleys, the sound of their footste
Chapter 175: The Crossfire
The air inside the warehouse crackled with tension as Ayla and Zara crouched behind a stack of crates, weapons drawn. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the far end of the building, growing louder with each passing second. Their target was close—too close. It was only a matter of time before the deal went sideways, but Ayla had no choice but to press forward. The stakes had never been higher."Something doesn’t feel right," Zara muttered, her fingers tightening around her gun. "We’re being watched."Ayla scanned the dimly lit space around them, her sharp eyes darting from shadow to shadow. She knew what Zara meant. The warehouse was too quiet—too still. Even with their forces positioned at key entry points, the feeling of imminent danger hung in the air like a storm cloud ready to burst.“Keep your head in the game,” Ayla replied in a low voice. “We don’t have the luxury of hesitation right now. We need to move, fast.”Zara’s gaze flicked to the far corner of the warehouse, wher
Chapter 174: The Devil You Know
The cold night air was thick with tension as Ayla and Zara sat across from each other, their faces illuminated by the dim light of the war room. The weight of their decision to align with Lyra’s group pressed on them like a vise. The walls seemed to close in as Ayla considered their next move. There was no going back now.Zara was the first to break the silence, her voice low and steady. "You really think they’ll honor the deal? That they'll let us have any say in how this plays out?"Ayla glanced at her, her eyes hard with determination. "I don’t know. But right now, it’s the only option we have. If we back out, they’ll come for us, and we won’t be prepared." Her fingers drummed the table nervously, though her voice remained calm. "We’re playing a dangerous game, Zara. But we’ve always been in danger, haven’t we?"Zara’s gaze softened. "Yeah. But this time feels different. It feels like we’ve given them the power to control us. And that’s something I can’t stomach."Ayla leaned back
