Chapter 183, Before The Fall.
Upon returning to headquarters, Hadi immediately scolded Hazim and Marwan for letting Yazan escape. "The correct move was bringing him back to base, especially since he didn't know we'd exposed him. You could've easily captured him without this reckless chase." Hazim countered, his voice strained, "It's not that simple. Marwan still doesn't see him as a traitor who deserves punishment, to him he's just a friend who felt betrayed by us." He glanced at Marwan, who sat silently, his guilt palpable. "When Haitham told me Marwan went after Yazan alone, I followed immediately. I knew he couldn't control his emotions, I knew they'd hurt each other but I never imagined Marwan would just... take the blows without fighting back." Hadi sighed and sat down, examining Marwan's injuries. "His wounds aren't that bad, just bruises." Hazim sighed, his shoulders heavy. "This is complicated. We all know Marwan searched for Yazan relentlessly, how he'd take any mission near the southern border just
Chapter 182, We Fell Apart.
The mountain wind howled around them as Hazim kept his boot planted firmly on Yazan's chest, his expression unreadable. "You're the last person I expected to do something like this," Hazim said, his voice low but carrying an edge that made the words cut deeper. Yazan writhed beneath him, his fingers clawing at the rocky ground as he tried to push himself up. "You don't know anything! you have no idea what happened to me!" he spat, his voice raw. "I had no choice. You weren't there, none of you were there for me when..." Hazim's grip tightened, his patience wearing thin. "And you don't know what happened with us either," he shot back. "Do you have any idea how hard we searched for you? Did you ever stop to think about Marwan's condition? how many times he put himself in danger looking for you?" Yazan's breath came in ragged gasps, his eyes wild. "Put yourself in my shoes for once," Hazim continued, his tone relentless. "I had to choose between letting Marwan keep searching fo
Chapter 181, Old Friend's Oath.
Yazan and Marwan had been friends long before Marwan became a Knight. Yazan had watched as Marwan endured beatings from adults when he stole from shops, and though Yazan's parents warned him to stay away, he never did. At school, teachers would scold Marwan on a daily basis while the troublemakers adored him, he was something like a gang leader among them. They weren't close until one day, when Marwan asked Yazan to tutor him in Arabic. "I'll get expelled if I fail again," Marwan had said, his usual bravado gone. "Please." Yazan had agreed, and from that moment, their friendship began. One afternoon after school, as they played football, a group of bullies attacked Yazan for his team's victory. Just as Yazan hit the ground, Marwan appeared out of nowhere. "Touch him again and I'll break your arms!" Marwan had snarled, standing between Yazan and the bullies. From that day forward, they were inseparable. Yazan covered for Marwan's absences when he skipped school to train, help
Chapter 180, A Friend's Betrayal.
The hospital corridor was quiet as Hadi stepped out of Ali's room, his phone buzzing in his pocket. He glanced at the screen, it was Hazim calling. He answered quietly. "Hazim." "We have a problem," Hazim's voice was tense. "Laith just told me something about Yazan. He saw him working with the enemy." After a few seconds Hadi exhaled and quietly answered. "I'm not surprised." A pause, then Hazim's voice came back. "You knew?" "Not for certain," Hadi admitted. "But I had suspicions. Yazan's behavior has been off for weeks. I've been watching him." Hazim's tone darkened. "Then why didn't you say anything?" "Suspicion isn't proof," Hadi countered. "We don't act on hunches. But now that we have confirmation, we'll deal with him properly." "I'll handle it myself," Hazim growled. "No," Hadi said firmly. "First we restore order. The prisoners need securing, the police need our support. We can't afford chaos in our ranks now. We act normal, watch him, and when the time is ri
Chapter 179, Precious Tears.
The white lights of the hospital room burned against Ali's eyelids as consciousness slowly returned. A dull ache pulsed through every inch of his body, his limbs heavy as lead. He groaned, blinking against the harsh blinding lights. The first thing he saw was Hadi slumped in a chair beside the bed, his arms crossed and head bowed in exhausted sleep. Ali's throat was dry as sandpaper when he tried to speak. "H-Hadi..." Hadi's head snapped up instantly, the fatigue vanishing from his face as he leaned forward. "Ali? Alhamdulliah" His calloused hand gripped Ali's shoulder gently. "Don't try to move too much. You took a beating worse than a training dummy in Marwan's bad days." Ali swallowed, wincing at the pain. "What about Laith?" "He's fine" Hadi said firmly. "Haitham saved him, he arrived just in time. He's beaten up but it's not that bad." The tension in Ali's chest eased slightly. He opened his mouth to ask about the ghoul, the tunnels, but the door burst open before he c
Chapter 178, The Stinky Wolf Bear.
The massive ghoul, a grotesque hybrid of wolf and bear loomed over Laith, its rancid breath washing over him in hot waves. Laith had given it a nickname "Stinky Wolf-Bear" in his head, partly to calm his nerves, partly because the damn thing really smelled like rotten meat and garbage."Come on, you overgrown trash," Laith taunted, wiping blood from his split lip. "Is that all you've got?" The ghoul's eyes narrowed, as if it understood the insult. With a roar that shook dust from the tunnel walls, it charged, its enormous claws swiping through the air. Laith barely dodged the first strike, rolling to the side as stone shattered where he'd stood moments before. The second swipe came faster, he ducked, feeling the wind of its passing ruffle his hair. "Missed again!" he shouted, adrenaline surging through his veins. Seeing an opening, he leaped forward, his sword flashing in a wide arc aimed straight for the creature's face. The ghoul reacted with terrifying speed, raising its fo
