Chapter 291
The Velmora Smart District stood like a vision of the future—glass towers rising, roads mapped with precision, systems nearly complete.It was supposed to be Sophia’s greatest achievement.Now—It felt like a battlefield.The moment their car stopped, Sophia stepped out without hesitation.Carl followed closely behind.Jasmine right after.Workers filled the site, but something was different. Groups were gathered, some confused, others already following new instructions.New orders.Sophia’s jaw tightened.“He’s already started…”They moved quickly through the site, heading toward the central command area.And there—They saw him.Adrian Vale stood at the center, speaking calmly with a group of engineers, tablet in hand, as if he had always belonged there.As if this was his.Carl’s eyes darkened.Sophia didn’t slow down.“Stop.”Her voice cut through the noise.Clear.Sharp.Commanding.Everyone turned.Adrian included.A slow smile appeared on his face the moment he saw her.“Sophia

A woman and a man were inside a luxurious hotel room.The woman, dressed in an alluring gown, sat comfortably on a large couch. The man stood near the window, wearing only jeans, a black shirt, and a dark hoodie.The room was dim, illuminated only by the city lights filtering through the glass.“Seraphine called you?” the woman asked.The man cleared his throat. “Yeah. Apparently, she wants the hybrid’s lover.”The woman arched a brow.“But why?”“She didn’t explain,” he replied. “But I heard the girl became a vessel too… a stable one.”Silence followed.Then—A slow smile spread across the woman’s lips.“So… we can use her.”The man finally turned to face her.“What are you planning, Octavia?”Octavia’s eyes gleamed in the darkness.“The same thing I always do, Draken,” she said smoothly.A pause.“I’ll take the hybrid instead.”—Back at the Carson Company—The tension in Sophia’s office had barely settled when—Bang.The door swung open.“Sophia!”Both Carl and Sophia turned.“Jasm

They didn’t waste time.The moment Adrian Vale left the building, Sophia ordered a full internal investigation.Legal team.Finance.Private intelligence.Everything.Now, they were inside her office—screens lit up, documents scattered across the table, tension thick in the air.Carl stood by the window, arms crossed, watching the city below.Waiting.Listening.Sophia, meanwhile, sat in front of her laptop, scanning through reports faster than any normal person could.Her enhanced senses—Her sharpened focus—They were helping.But it didn’t make this easier.“…This doesn’t make sense,” she muttered.Carl glanced at her. “What did you find?”Sophia turned the screen toward him.“Adrian Vale,” she began. “Thirty-two. No known family background. No recorded history before five years ago.”Carl’s eyes narrowed.“A ghost,” he said.“Exactly,” Sophia replied. “But here’s the strange part.”She clicked another file.“He suddenly appeared in the Clove Region and started building companies—f

The Carson Company tower stood tall against the skyline—glass, steel, and power.A symbol.Of everything Sophia had built.Or thought she had.Carl stepped out of the car first, his sharp gaze already scanning the surroundings. Guards were present, employees moving in and out—but something felt off.Too tense.Too uneasy.Sophia noticed it too.“They’re acting strange…” she murmured.Carl glanced at her. “Stay close.”She nodded.Together, they walked inside.The moment they stepped through the lobby—All eyes turned to them.Whispers followed.Low.Uneasy.Not the usual respectful greetings Sophia was used to.Her brows furrowed.“What’s going on…?”Before she could question it further—“Ma’am!”Jessa rushed toward them, her face pale, clearly distressed.“Jessa,” Sophia said quickly. “What happened? You sounded urgent on the phone.”Jessa glanced at Carl briefly, then leaned closer to Sophia.“There’s someone in the boardroom,” she said. “He’s been waiting for you.”Sophia frowned.

“Guess what?” Kael said casually.Seraphine paused mid-motion, a vial of liquid suspended between her fingers. She glanced at him with clear disinterest.“Do you seriously have nothing better to do today, so you came to bother me?” she said flatly.Kael smirked. “Come on. Aren’t you at least a little excited about what I’m about to tell you?”Seraphine sighed, placing the sample tube carefully back into its holder before removing her gloves with slow, deliberate movements.“What is it?” she asked. “Or are you just here to waste my time?”Kael chuckled. “Well… remember the woman?”“If you’re talking about one of your failed subjects,” Seraphine replied coldly, “you already know how that ends. They either die… or go insane.”Kael shook his head.“Not them.”A pause.“Carl’s.”Seraphine froze.Her eyes widened—then lit up, almost feverishly.“You mean…?”Kael nodded.“Yes. You’re successful.”A sharp, almost manic laugh escaped her.“I knew it!” she exclaimed. “My hypothesis was correct.
Chapter 286
The surge didn’t last forever.But it felt like it did.Heat flooded the room, pressing against the walls, rattling everything in its wake. Carl’s grip on Sophia never loosened, even as the pain tore through his body.Then—Slowly—The energy began to settle.The trembling stopped.The heat faded.And just like that—Silence.Heavy.Still.Carl’s breathing was rough, uneven, but he didn’t move.Didn’t dare.“…Sophia?” he called softly.No response.For a moment—Fear crept in.Then—Her fingers twitched.Carl’s eyes widened slightly.Sophia took a sharp breath—And her eyes snapped open.But not like before.Not wild.Not unstable.Just…Different.Carl leaned closer. “Sophia?”She stared at him.Confused.Lost.As if she didn’t recognize where she was.Or even… herself.“Carl…?” she whispered.Relief hit him instantly.“I’m here,” he said, his voice softer now. “You’re safe.”She blinked slowly, her gaze scanning his face like she was trying to make sense of something unfamiliar.The
