The early morning light filtered through the estate's security control room windows as the lead technician, Micheal, held up the sleek device with trembling hands. The military-grade surveillance equipment gleamed under the fluorescent lights, its surface unmarked despite being torn from beneath the dinner table.

"How much did it record?" Benjamin asked, his voice tight.

Marcus swallowed hard. "Significant audio from the dinner, sir. The device was active for approximately forty-seven minutes before we disabled it."

The emergency meeting had been called within hours. Benjamin sat at the head of the conference table, flanked by three other family elders. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut.

"This is exactly what I warned everyone about," Elder Margaret said, her weathered face creased with worry. "Bringing outsiders into our private spaces."

"We don't know who planted it," Benjamin replied, but his tone suggested he had his suspicions.

"Don't we?" Elder Thomas leaned forwar

    CHAPTER TWO-HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN The entire camp had been left with so many questions hanging in the air. Everyone was talking about the children who had found their way into the camp, completely unaware of what could be he decision of the General. Many suggested that the children could be in trouble, while some were just concerned about the kind of things that they may have been through. At that moment, no one knew what to expect, and some of the civilians who were more eager than the others had gathered around the clinic, clustering to see the children. But the soldiers refused to let them in at the command of the General, holding forward their weapons and sending them away without saying a word. But the tension was rising, and it was hard to tell how long it was going to take before the crowd decided to be violent. “Send those children back to where they came from!” “They could be spies!” “We don’t want them here! They could be carrying the virus!” “Who leaves chil

    As soon as he heard everything Yuri said, Eren gasped, staring at him with wide eyes. “You sick bastard!” He growled, fuming in a rage.He made another failed attempt to break free from the chain, and realizing that he was only injuring himself, he gave up, panting aggressively. Facing Yuri once again, he took a deep breath, looking him in the eyes. “You are never going to succeed. Mezzle won’t let you!”“Oh, he will, Eren.” Yuri nodded confidently, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.“He will be left with no choice but to obey every one of my commands by the time I am done with him.” He paused for a while, and then he took a deep breath.“My plan is already in motion, Eren, and it is only a matter of time before it blooms.” “What are you up to?” Eren asked, seeing the mischievous look all over his face.Yuri sniggered, and then he cleared his throat.“You will get to find out, Eren. Let’s just say that I sent a package to Mezzle. Let’s call it a ticking time bomb.” Eren’s

    “Wake up!” The words thundered inside Eren’s ears, but he could only blink and groan.He was not just exhausted, he was injured and had lost a lot of blood.The pain all over his body made him whimper, and while he tried to force his eyes to open, about three liters of water were poured on his face, forcing him to jerk. He gasped and panted for air, attempting to make a higher move. Instantly he tried to wipe some of the water all over his face, and that was when the rattling sound told him that he had been chained. He looked behind him and saw the chains that were used to bind him to the iron chair that was strapped to a pillar.“What the…” He tried to pull, but even if he was given his entire strength, he knew that he was not going to be able to break free from the clutches of the chain.He groaned, and when he heard the humming sound, he was forced to look to the front, realizing that he hadn’t seen the person who poured the water on him.“Wake up Eren!” The voice resounded agai

    Mezzle had her eyes on Hailey while his wife had her eyes on him.“Talk to me, Hailey,” The General had become very eager to hear what the young lady was about to say, his curiosity heightened by the nervous look on her face.Hailey not only looked tense, but her fingers were shaking, her eyes totally avoiding a long exchange of glances between him and the General.She cleared her throat, and just when Mezzle and Kira thought that she was finally going to say the reason why she had come to them, she looked away, showing growing signs of reluctance.“I am sorry! I can’t!” She sniffled, revealing the tears that welled up in her eyes, and then she ran off.Kira tried to grab her hand, but she slipped away cleverly, increasing her pace as she moved toward her own section of the camp. “Hailey!” Kira called out twice. “Wait!” She tried to go after her, but Mezzle stopped him.Kira grunted, turning to her husband who shook his head slowly.“Let her be, Babe.”“But she looked very troubled,

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN Slowly, Kira approached Mezzle while he was resting on the bed, his eyes looking upward. The General was so engrossed with the thoughts that lingered inside his mind that he almost didn’t notice her presence Slowly, he sat up, cleared his throat, and turned to her, his face smeared with curiosity. “What is it, Love?” He asked, seeing the worrisome look on his wife’s face. Kira cleared her throat, and then she sat next to him while he adjusted to create enough space for her. She cleared her throat again, and looking into the General’s eyes, she sighed heavily. “Are you sure about this, Mezzle?” She asked calmly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Sure about what?” Mezzle asked, but it already seemed like he was aware of what she was talking about. Kira continued looking into his eyes for a little longer, and then she inhaled sharply. “Are you sure about keeping Yuri’s family here?” Mezzle sighed, realizing that he was right al

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE Mezzle paused for a while, staring at the boy with his brows lifted.At first, he thought that the boy could be lying, but seeing the look in his eyes, he could tell that he was telling the truth. “Your father must have wanted you to take after him, Yuri. That must have been the reason why he named you after himself.” He said with a wry smile, drawing the attention of Yuri, his mother, and his immediate younger sister.Young Yuri cleared his throat, and with a breaking voice, he asked, “You knew my father?” He waited for a response, but Mezzle had his eyes on Jenna who looked away almost at once, knowing what that look meant. “Yes.” The General slowly returned his gaze to Yuri, forcing a smile that only lasted for a few seconds. He took a deep breath, and then he continued in a lower tone. “Your father used to be one of us. He used to be a part of this community. That is why we asked for you to be brought here.” His response sparked an immediate r
