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.
Chapter 476 The Lab
The night was cold and still, the industrial park silent except for the distant hum of machinery and the occasional bark of a guard dog. The team moved through the shadows like ghosts, their footsteps silent on the gravel, their eyes fixed on the target ahead.The lab was a nondescript building on the edge of the park—grey concrete, barred windows, and a single entrance guarded by two men in dark uniforms. To anyone passing by, it looked like a warehouse, abandoned and forgotten.But the team knew better."Security systems are disabled," Abu Anas whispered through the comms. "You have a ten-minute window before the backup generators kick in.""Understood," Haitham replied. "We're moving."Malik was beside him, his face calm but his eyes sharp. They had trained together years ago, fought together, bled together. Now, they were fighting together again."Ready?" Malik asked."Always."They moved toward the entrance, their movements synchronized, their breaths steady. The two guards barel
Chapter 475 The Team
The safe house was a modest apartment in the outskirts of Leipzig, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where no one asked questions. Malik led Haitham through the door, his footsteps quiet on the worn floorboards. The apartment was sparse but comfortable, a few chairs, a table covered in maps and documents, and the faint smell of coffee that had been reheated too many times."Welcome to our headquarters," Malik said, a hint of irony in his voice. "It's not much, but it's home."Haitham looked around, taking in the details, the maps on the walls, the photographs pinned to a corkboard, the stack of books on ancient history that seemed out of place among the modern surveillance equipment."It's more than I expected," Haitham said honestly. "You've built something here."Malik nodded. "I had help. Let me introduce you."---The first to arrive was a tall, broad-shouldered man with a thick beard and kind eyes. He moved with the careful deliberation of someone who had once been a warrior an
Chapter 474 The Trail Abroad
The phone sat on Ali's workbench, its cracked screen still glowing with data. For three days, Ali had been hunched over his equipment, his fingers flying across keyboards, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. He had traced every contact, every message, every location. And now, he had found something."Hazem," Ali said, his voice tight with urgency. "You need to see this."Hazem crossed the lab in three strides, Laith and Marwan close behind. They gathered around Ali's screen, their faces illuminated by the glow of the data streams."The phone's contacts lead to a network," Ali explained. "Cells operating across the region. But the trail doesn't end here." He tapped a key, and a map appeared on the screen. Lines connected Palestine to Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and beyond—all the way to Europe. "It leads abroad."Hazem's jaw tightened. "Where exactly?"Ali zoomed in on a location. "Germany. A city called Leipzig. There's a hub there—a coordination center for the network. And from what I
Chapter 473 The First Battle
The village was small, tucked away in the hills near the border. It was the kind of place that time had forgotten—a handful of stone houses, a small mosque, and fields of olive trees that had been tended by the same families for generations. But tonight, it was a battlefield.Sami crouched behind a low wall, his blade drawn, his heart pounding in his chest. Beside him, Samir was motionless, his eyes fixed on the shadows that moved beyond the village's edge."There are at least a dozen of them," Samir whispered. "Maybe more."Sami nodded, his grip tightening on his blade. "We've trained for this. We're ready."But the younger recruits behind them were not ready. Their faces were pale, their hands trembling, their eyes wide with fear. It was their first time seeing real Ghouls—not holograms, not training dummies, but the real thing. The monsters that had haunted their nightmares were now standing before them, their claws glinting in the moonlight.Sami turned to them, his voice calm but
Chapter 472 The New Guard
The sun rose over the hills of Askalan, casting its golden light across the training grounds of the Knights Academy. The facility was modest, a few buildings, a large courtyard, and rows of training dummies that had seen better days but it was home. It was where the next generation of Knights was being forged.Marwan stood at the center of the courtyard, his arms crossed, his eyes scanning the young recruits who were running laps around the perimeter. They were young, eager, and full of energy. They reminded him of himself, once. A lifetime ago."Faster!" he shouted. "The Ghouls won't wait for you to catch your breath!"The recruits pushed harder, their feet pounding against the dirt. Marwan watched them with a critical eye, noting their form, their endurance, their determination.Sami and Samir were among them, leading the pack. They had grown into young men, they were strong, disciplined, and committed. They trained alongside the new recruits, setting an example, pushing themselves
