Chapter 482 The Road Home
The Austrian estate was quiet now. The guards were gone—arrested, scattered, or dead. The grand room where Vogel had spent his final moments was empty, the blood cleaned away, the books and artifacts catalogued and packed for evidence. The team moved through the building methodically, gathering everything that might be useful and destroying everything that couldn't be saved.Malik oversaw the operation. Abu Anas coordinated with local authorities—carefully, discreetly, using contacts he had cultivated over years of living in Europe. Wolf documented everything, his camera capturing the evidence that would eventually be released to the public. Agatha stayed at the safe house, analyzing documents, tracing connections, building a case against the network.It took three days to dismantle Vogel's operation.On the fourth day, the team gathered in the safe house one last time. The mood was quiet—not sad, exactly, but reflective. They had won. They had stopped a weapon, killed a monster, and
chapter 481 The Backup Plan
Richter was not smiling. He had been here for four days now, and the cracks in his composure were beginning to show. His silver hair was unkempt, his cold eyes bloodshot, his hands trembling slightly where they rested on the table. Hazem sat across from him. Ali stood by the door, his tablet in hand, monitoring Richter's vitals—heart rate, breathing, pupil dilation. Every twitch, every micro-expression, was being recorded and analyzed. "You've been cooperative with Malik," Hazem said. "That was smart. But Malik isn't here anymore. I am." Richter looked at him. "And what makes you think I'll talk to you?" "Because you're a survivor. You said so yourself. You want to live. And the only way you live is if we let you live. So you're going to tell me everything." Richter was silent for a long moment. Then he laughed—a dry, humorless sound. "You think you're different from Labib? You think you're better than him? You're just another man with a blade and a cause. You'll die like a
Chapter 480 The Doctor's Secret
The cell was small, windowless. Richter sat on one side, his hands cuffed, his silver hair disheveled, his cold eyes fixed on the wall. He had been here for two days. He had not spoken a word.Malik entered alone. He set a folder on the table and sat across from the Ghoul."I'm not here to waste time," Malik said. "You're going to tell me about Vogel. About Project Purification. About everything."Richter didn't look up. "You're not the one I expected.""Hazem is in Palestine. His visa expired. You're stuck with me."Richter smiled—a thin, cold expression. "And what makes you think I'll talk to you?""Because I'm not a Knight. Not officially. I'm just a man who's been hunting your kind for years. And I've learned that sometimes the unofficial channels are more... persuasive."Malik opened the folder. Photographs spilled out—the lab in Leipzig, the dead hybrid, the documents they had seized from the institute."We found everything," Malik said. "The records. The experiments. The names
Chapter 479 The Silent Find
The trail led to the old industrial district on the northern edge of Leipzig, where abandoned factories stood like tombstones and the streets were empty after dark. Ali's voice guided them through the comms, his tone clipped and precise."Warehouse seventeen. Heat signature on the second floor. It hasn't moved in six hours."Hazem, Laith, and Malik approached on foot, leaving the van three blocks away. The building was a skeletal thing—broken windows, rusted loading doors, a roof that sagged in the middle. The kind of place people walked past without seeing.They went in through a side entrance, their footsteps muffled on the concrete floor. The stairs creaked under their weight. The air smelled of mold and something else—something raw and animal.They found it in the corner of the second floor.It was not what they expected.The creature was sprawled on the ground, its limbs twisted at unnatural angles, its grey skin already beginning to dissolve into the black ash that marked a Ghou
Chapter 478 The Lab
The lab was a fortress. Nestled in an industrial park on the outskirts of Leipzig, it was surrounded by high fences, security cameras, and armed guards. To anyone passing by, it looked like a pharmaceutical research facility—clean, modern, and utterly unremarkable. But the Knights knew better.They had spent days studying the layout, analyzing the security systems, and planning every detail of the raid. Ali had hacked into the lab's cameras, giving them a live feed of the guards' movements. Abu Anas had mapped the building's electrical systems, identifying the points where they could cut power. Wolf had provided the blueprints, obtained through his journalist contacts.And now, they were ready.---The team gathered in the safe house one last time. Hazem stood at the center, his face calm but his eyes burning with determination."We have one chance at this," he said. "We get in, we gather evidence, we destroy the lab, and we get out. No heroics. No unnecessary risks. We move as a team
Chapter 477 The Arrival
The farewells were the hardest part.Hazem stood in the doorway of his apartment, Maryam in his arms, her face buried in his chest. She didn't cry. She had promised herself she wouldn't cry. But her hands clutched his jacket, and her body trembled with the effort of holding back."Come back to me," she whispered."Always." He kissed her forehead. "I'll always come back to you."Laith said goodbye to his grandparents, promising to return soon, promising to stay safe. His grandfather clasped his shoulder, his old eyes wet but proud. His grandmother kissed his cheek and pressed a small Qur'an into his hands."Keep this with you," she said. "And keep Allah in your heart."Ali held Haneen and Noor, his heart breaking. Noor was too young to understand, but Haneen knew. She had always known."Be careful," she said. "And come home.""I will." He kissed Noor's forehead. "Take care of your mother, little one."Marwan said goodbye to Maria and Malaak. Malaak clung to his leg, refusing to let go.
