The Knights of Askalan headquarters was chaotic as Hadi spread the police interrogation reports across the central table. Haitham was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, Ali was scrolling through data on his wrist display, and Malik sitting with his head in his hands. The only one missing was Marwan, who had stormed out an hour earlier after another argument about their next move.

Hadi tapped the first file. "Fahid and Bella both insist they don’t know Walid’s current location. Only that he left the country weeks ago."

Ali frowned. "And the bunker?"

"Guarded by a separate faction, some mercenary group called the Iron Vultures. According to Bella, they don’t even communicate directly with Walid’s inner circle. Just take orders through encrypted channels."

Haitham’s jaw tightened. "So we’re chasing ghosts."

"Not necessarily." Hadi pulled up a map, highlighting a rugged mountain range north of the city. "Fahid gave us coordinates. Even if Walid isn’t there, the bunk

    Hazim and Jamil stood their ground. Before they could even form a new plan, the bull charged at them. But this time, Hazim left his sword sheathed, shocking Jamil. Jamil's legs moved involuntarily as he tried to block the blow for Hazim, but he was stunned to see Hazim step forward instead, running toward the ghoul and grabbing its horns with his bare hands.Everyone watching was shocked—even the ghoul was stunned that Hazim had managed to stop it with his hands alone. The ghoul tried to push Hazim back, straining with all its might, and began forcing him backward. The crowd watched and cheered with excitement. Jamil decided to help Hazim and stepped forward, but Hazim told him to stay back.Hazim was pushed closer and closer to the wall, and everyone expected him to be crushed. But instead, Hazim used the wall to launch himself upward, landing on the bull's back. The bull bucked and thrashed, trying to throw Hazim off. Then came the decisive blow: Hazim stabbed the ghoul in the back

    The two ghouls they were facing transformed into their true forms, turning into something resembling giant bulls, and they also had axes. Hazim took a deep breath and turned to Jamil."We need to make a plan. Now," Hazim said urgently.Jamil nodded quickly. "Do whatever you want. I'm with you. I agree even before hearing it. The most important thing is that we stay alive."Hazim studied his partner's face. "Why are you being so negative and scared today?""No, sorry," Jamil replied, shaking his head. "I really don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I'm scared in this 'pleasant' situation we're in. Forgive me, bro, I overdid it."Hazim turned to him fully. "Enough sarcasm. For real. Let's make a plan."Jamil met his gaze steadily. "Like I told you, do whatever you want, and I'll back you up. I'll try to mimic your fighting style and synchronize with you. That's my style - adapting and coexisting with the situation."The confrontation began. As soon as Labeeb announced the st

    Hazim and Jamil came to their senses and realized the magnitude of the trouble they had gotten themselves into. The roar of the unnatural crowd made it hard to think. Hazim gripped Jamil's arm, pulling him close so he could be heard over the din."We can't fight our way out of this," Hazim said, his voice low and urgent. "Look at them. There are hundreds. Recklessness will get us killed."Jamil's eyes darted across the sea of strange, cheering faces. "So what do we do? Surrender?""No," Hazim countered, his gaze fixed on Labeeb, who was basking in the adoration of the crowd. "We use diplomacy. We talk. The only way we walk out of here is if we keep our cool and try to reason with that sinister being who lured us here."Before Jamil could protest further, Hazim took the first step. He moved to the top of the stone stairs leading down into the arena sand and, forcing a calm he didn't feel, raised his hands in a tentative greeting to the roaring crowds.Jamil watched, his heart hammering

    Jamil waited for Hazim on the outskirts of the city. The moment Hazim arrived, the two set off toward the location Jameel suspected hid a ghoul—a particularly dangerous one. As they walked, Jameel turned to Hazim, his voice low. "I’m sorry for calling you," Jamil said. "But you’re the only one I can rely on." He trusted all his men, but beneath his hardened exterior, his heart had grown tender. He feared for them—or perhaps pitied them, since most of his soldiers were so young. Hazim shook his head. "We were young too when we started. Younger than them. And we can’t stop them from doing their duty." Jamil nodded. "You’re right. I know I have to give them a chance, trust them—even encourage them. But sometimes…" His voice faltered. "Sometimes my heart weakens, especially when I remember those we’ve lost." Hazim’s gaze darkened. "I remember them every day. I pray for them. And I stay focused on our mission so their sacrifices won’t be wasted." He exhaled. "‘Indeed, we belong t

    Malik, Ali, and Marwan combed through every inch of the rugged mountain, their advanced armor scanners sweeping methodically across the rocky slopes and dense pine forests. But despite their thorough search, they found no trace of the little girl or her parents."Where is she?" Malik muttered, his voice tight with frustration as he kicked a loose stone. "She was supposed to be right here in this car!"Marwan ran a hand through his sweat-dampened hair. "Maybe the ghoul took her further into the mountains. Or..." He trailed off, unwilling to voice the grim alternative.Ali suddenly froze, his eyes widening behind his visor. "The helicopter," he said quietly."What did you say?" Malik snapped."When we first arrived," Ali continued, pulling up his wrist display, "I saw a military chopper in the distance. I thought it was just routine patrol..."He quickly pulled out his phone and typed a few words, the search results showed : "ARMY HEROES RESCUE CHILD FROM GHOUL ATTACK!"The trio watche

  • Chapter 213, The Longest Climb.

    Ali, Malik, and Marwan practiced their sword drills. The rhythmic clang of steel echoed off the walls while sweat dripped from their brows. Their focused movements spoke of years of discipline and training.A nearby television was turned on, a background noise to their session, with the familiar opening theme of the state news broadcast. The screen showed campaign banners and the familiar face of the long-serving president."The presidential elections will begin next month," the news anchor announced in her usual polished tone. "Campaign rallies are scheduled to—"Malik's sword hit the floor with a clatter as he marched to the television and punched the power button. The screen went dark immediately."What's the point?" Malik growled, his voice thick with frustration. "That walking corpse will win again, just like he has for fifteen straight years. Rigged votes, staged celebrations, nothing ever changes."Marwan wiped his forehead with his sleeve. "I don't give a damn who sits in that
