Chapter 293
Adrian didn’t go far.By the time he left Velmora, he was already on his way to a private penthouse—far above the city, where silence meant power and privacy meant control.The doors opened.And she was already there.Octavia Voss stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the city lights reflecting in her eyes like distant flames.She didn’t turn.“Report.”Adrian smirked faintly, stepping inside.“Straight to business, as always.”Octavia remained still. “I don’t like repeating myself.”Adrian chuckled under his breath.“She’s stable,” he said. “More than expected.”That—Made her turn.Finally.“And?” Octavia asked, her gaze sharp.Adrian slid his hands into his pockets.“She reacted,” he continued. “Not like a normal Vessel. No loss of control. No breakdown.”A pause.“She even released power… instinctively.”Octavia’s eyes gleamed.“Interesting.”Adrian nodded. “Carl stabilized her himself. Used his own blood.”For a brief second—Something flickered in Octavia’s expression.Something

Adrian didn’t answer her question.He simply smiled.Then—He snapped his fingers.The sound was soft.But what followed—Wasn’t.From different corners of the construction site, figures began to emerge.Workers?No.Carl’s eyes sharpened instantly.Their movements were too precise.Too controlled.And then—He felt it.That same presence.“…Dragon Vessels,” Carl muttered.Sophia’s breath hitched slightly. “Here too…?”Adrian slid his hands into his pockets, completely at ease.“Did you really think I’d come unprepared?” he said lightly.The “workers” dropped their tools.One by one—They stepped forward.Their eyes—Cold.Unnatural.Focused.The atmosphere shifted instantly.Jasmine took a step back. “What the hell is this…?”Carl moved in front of Sophia without hesitation.“Stay behind me,” he said.Sophia didn’t argue.But her heart was pounding.Not just from fear—But from something inside her responding.Reacting.The Dragon Blood.Adrian watched her closely.Interest flickerin

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.
