Chapter 94

“Blood doesn’t make us family. Loyalty does. But sometimes… blood gives you the power you never knew you had.”

The Carter estate was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was having many rooms and places that were under lock and key that I began to wonder how many people lived inside the mansion.

It wasn’t grand in the way that screamed wealth like Miralda’s mansion. No — this was different.

The power here didn’t come from crystal chandeliers or marble floors. It bled from the walls, whispered from the shadows, and echoed in the silent glances passed between the guards that stood like statues at every entrance.

Tall black gates lined with razor wire slid open silently as our car passed. Cameras tracked our every move. The trees stood like sentinels, dense and ancient as if they had watched over this place for centuries. As we pulled up the driveway, I caught a glimpse of a crest etched into the iron gate: a serpent coiled around a sword.

Chapter 170Have you ever felt so good that you can't sleep?I noticed the way Ren, Marcus, and even Suri looked at me. I don't know if they were scared of me or if they were seeing me as a god. The moment Marcus woke up. Suri and Ren couldn't stop looking at me and wondering what I was. I knew I wasn't human anymore. I was something more. I mean, who has the power to heal and fly? I wonder what else I could do aside from just healing, flying, and releasing a blast of energy waves from my hands. “ What are you?” Suri asked with a shaky voice.“Really? I don’t know myself,” I replied with a smile on my face.But it wasn’t entirely true.Something inside me was shifting—had been for a while now. The moment I flew for the first time. The moment the blast tore through the rogue agents back at the lab. The moment my blood brought Marcus back from the dead.This wasn’t normal. It wasn’t even superhuman anymore.It was something else entirely.Suri didn’t smile back. Her eyes stayed fixed

Chapter 169Have you ever felt like the fate of a person is in your hands? You feel like you could have saved them. I looked at Marcus's lifeless body in my arms as I walked out of the hospital. All eyes were on me, and some of them even brought out their phones to take pictures. Not that it matters anyway. I was more concerned about him. If I could heal, then I should be able to heal him. My blood should do some miracle. I looked into the sky and flew immediately. I could hear their gasp. The stunned silence that followed was broken only by the faint sound of phones dropping and nurses screaming my name.But I didn’t stop.Marcus was getting colder in my arms, and I was running out of time.The wind screamed around me as I soared higher and higher, piercing through the clouds, until the city looked like a cluster of blinking lights below. I didn’t know where I was going—I just let instinct take over.“Come on,” I muttered through clenched teeth, eyes burning from the wind and tear

Chapter 168My gaze was fixed on the theater room Marcus had been wheeled into. I couldn't help but wonder what was taking so long. The nurses kept walking in and out of the room. I rushed toward them each time one of them walked out, but when I asked how Marcus was faring, all they told me was to wait. “We are trying our best, Mr. Adrian. You might need to wait for the final result.” One of them said, I was feeling tired, and I could barely even think. My mind went back to work, Edwin, and I felt happy to have seen the end of him. With Edwin gone, the school would be at peace, and the students would be able to live a normal life. That was my thought. I remembered Ren’s words again. “Did you see him do it?” I arched my eyebrows again. I only saw him fall into the hole when the walls around him were crumbling. Could he have had powers, too?If Nathan was having it, then I believe he could too. The door opened, and I saw the doctor walking out with two nurses flanking his side.

Chapter 167The light around us flickered—fading from brilliant white to a dying ember—as Edwin’s domain collapsed in on itself. The walls cracked and groaned like the very fabric of the dimension was unraveling. Chunks of obsidian stone rained from the ceiling, veins of silver light rupturing like broken circuits in a dying machine.I tightened my grip on Marcus. He was barely conscious, his breaths shallow and uneven, his body limp against mine.“Hold on,” I muttered, more to myself than to him. I needed space to do my thing. Fly. But the debris was falling so hard that I couldn't pick myself up, coupled with the fact that Marcus was heavy. I closed my eyes and focused again. The melody. The rhythm. The pulse that was mine and mine alone.There it was—buried beneath the chaos, like a faint heartbeat amidst a storm. I grabbed onto it and pushed. The light around us surged again, forming a shield just as a massive slab of the ceiling came crashing down.The impact never reached us

Chapter 166Darkness.It wrapped around me like a second skin, thick and cloying. I couldn't tell if I was still falling or already on the ground. There was no sound. No wind. No pain. Just… nothing.Then came the ringing.A sharp, high-pitched screech slices through the void like a blade. My ears throbbed. My head pounded. I forced my eyes open, and was met with shadows. Shifting. Breathing. Watching.I tried to move, but my limbs felt like they were underwater. Heavy. Sluggish.Where was I?My vision slowly adjusted. I was no longer on the rooftop. The gravel, the city skyline—all gone. Replaced by black walls that pulsed like a heartbeat. Faint veins of light traveled through the surface like rivers of silver blood.A prison.Mental or physical, I couldn't tell. Edwin had built this.“You survived the fall,” came his voice again—this time from nowhere and everywhere at once. “Impressive. The last few didn’t.”I grit my teeth, pulling myself to my feet. “Where’s Marcus?” My voice ec

Chapter 165 Flying in the air was different for me now, not just because of the height or the wind slicing through my hair, but because I was no longer just flying for escape or for glory. I was flying to find someone. Someone who mattered.Marcus.I needed to hear his voice.That was the key.Not a tracker, not magic, not some technological gadget—but his voice. Something only I could hear, if I pushed myself hard enough.The roar of the city below was maddening. The screeching brakes of yellow buses, the blaring horns of impatient drivers, the overlapping conversations, laughter, sirens, music—it all came at me in a wave of deafening chaos. The city was alive, loud, and unforgiving, and in the midst of it, I was trying to listen for a single voice. One whisper.“Focus, Adrian,” I said again, this time gritting my teeth. But it was too loud up here. It was like I was a god, and I could hear the cries and the pleas of millions of citizens at once. I was not a hero, and I knew I coul
