Chapter 99, Wiped Clean.
The night air was tense as Hadi and the others crouched behind a cluster of abandoned shipping containers, their eyes fixed on the looming silhouette of the textile factory. The distant hum of machinery and the occasional flicker of movement through broken windows confirmed the place wasn’t as deserted as it seemed. Marwan shifted impatiently, his fingers drumming against the grip of his rifle. "We’re wasting time. Let me and Laith go ahead, we’ll scout and create an opening for the rest." Hadi shook his head, his voice firm. "We stick to the plan. We wait for Haitham." Ali, who had been silently monitoring his system, glanced up. "He’s here." A moment later, Haitham emerged from the shadows, his armor scuffed but his expression determined. "Shihab got away. He had backup waiting." Hadi’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t dwell on it. "We’ve got bigger problems. Malik and Laith scout ahead. See what we’re dealing with." The two nodded and slipped away, blending into the darknes
Chapter 98, The Duel.
The ruined street fell silent, the distant wail of sirens fading into the background as Haitham and Shihab circled each other, like two predators sizing up their prey. The air was filled with tension, thick enough to choke on. Haitham’s mind raced. "Shihab’s armor is new and modified. It is an unknown technology. I Can’t rush this." He kept his breathing steady, his stance balanced, waiting for an opening. Suddenly Shihab blinked out of existence. A fraction of a second later, Haitham’s instincts screamed. He twisted his body just as Shihab materialized behind him, a violet energy blade slashing through the space where his neck had been. The heat of the near-miss seared Haitham’s cheek as he barely dodged, rolling to the side and coming up in a defensive crouch. Shihab straightened, his sword humming with eerie purple light. "You're getting slow, Haitham. Age catching up to you?"Haitham didn’t respond. With a sharp motion, he unclipped the massive warhammer from his back. The
Chapter 97, Ghost Of The Past.
The armored vehicle rumbled through the empty streets, the tension inside so thick it could be cut with a knife. Each member of the team sat in silence, lost in their own thoughts, their weapons checked and rechecked, their armors activated. The only sound was the hum of the engine and the occasional static crackle from the comms. Then, out of nowhere, Laith burst out laughing. The others turned to stare at him, confusion etched on their faces, except for Marwan, who shot him a look of pure disgust. "Clown," Marwan muttered, shaking his head. Ali frowned. "What is wrong with you?" Laith wiped a tear from his eye, still chuckling. "I couldn’t help it! You all look like this is your first raid. So serious, so tense, relax! We’ve done this a hundred times." Hadi, gripping the steering wheel, didn’t take his eyes off the road. "This isn’t like the other times. We’re not fighting ghouls or some new gang. We have no idea how big this group is or what they’re capable of. That’s w
Chapter 96, Doing The Right Thing.
The evening sun cast golden hues through the curtains as Haitham stepped into his modest home, the familiar scent of jasmine and warm bread greeting him. His wife Aya was in the kitchen, humming softly as she prepared tea. The sound of his daughters’ laughter echoed from the living room, where they were sprawled on the floor, coloring in their notebooks with intense concentration. Haitham lingered in the doorway for a moment, watching them. The weight of the day’s decision pressed on his chest, but he forced a smile as he entered. "I need to prepare myself," he said quietly, leaning against the kitchen counter. "I’ll be taking a break from work. The Knights have an important mission, I have to join them." His wife's hands stilled for just a fraction of a second before she resumed pouring the tea. "We’ll talk about that later," she said, her voice steady but firm. "Right now, you need to change your clothes. We promised the girls we’d take them out tonight." Haitham hesitated,
Chapter 95, Haitham's Resolve.
The evening air was thick with the aroma of grilled meat as Marwan and Ali stepped into a bustling downtown restaurant. The place was lively, filled with chatter and the clinking of plates. Marwan, with a mischievous grin, immediately began ordering an extravagant spread, kebabs, hummus, fresh bread, and more. Ali's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Are you expecting someone else?" Ali asked, eyeing the mountain of food. Marwan waved a hand dismissively. "No, man. Just me and you." "Then why order enough for five people?" Ali countered, his voice laced with suspicion. "What are you talking about?" Marwan replied, feigning innocence. "This is a light dinner!" Ali sighed but said nothing more. When the food arrived, Marwan devoured his portions with gusto, barely leaving a crumb behind. Then, without warning, he stood up and stretched. "Alright, let's go." Ali blinked. "You're not paying?" Marwan smirked. "You got this, right?" Before Ali could protest, Marwan was already
Chapter 94, Planning in motion.
Ali was hunched over his desk, reviewing plans for the nighttime mission he and Marwan were about to undertake. Maps, notes, and a dim lamp cluttered the surface as he traced routes with his finger. Suddenly, the door creaked open. His mother stepped inside, arms crossed, her expression tight with disapproval. "Why didn’t you go to work today?" she demanded. Ali didn’t look up. "I took a few days off." Before he could finish, her voice sharpened. " you finally found a job just to start taking vacations! And for what? For those knights who don’t even pay you?!" His jaw clenched. "Let's do this later, Mom. Everything we’re doing is for this country, to protect everyone, and all you care about is money! You can’t even say ‘thank you,’ or ‘may Allah reward you,’ or ‘may Allah grant you victory’?!" She scoffed. "Out of all the young men in this country, why does it have to be my son? the top graduate of his class just to becomes a knight? Those who join the military or train t
