Chapter 296
It all happened too fast.One moment, Sophia was right in front of him—The next—She was being taken away.A force—something powerful, something unnatural—had suddenly invaded the Carson mansion.And before anyone could even react—She was gone.“My daughter! Where is she?!” Carmela screamed, her voice breaking. “What should we do now, Father?!”Mr. Carson Sr. couldn’t answer.Even he—Didn’t know what to do.Because whatever entered their home…Wasn’t normal.“This is your fault!” Carmela shouted, her eyes blazing as she turned to Carl. “Ever since my daughter met you, nothing good has happened to her!”Carl lowered his head.For once—He had no answer.Because she wasn’t entirely wrong.He hadn’t been able to do anything earlier.Not when it mattered most.Not when that man appeared.That overwhelming presence—It was the same feeling he had when he faced Jackson Young.Powerless.“I… I will find her,” Carl said, his voice low but firm. “I’ll bring her back. No matter what.”“You b
Chapter 295
Inside Jackson Young’s mansion—The atmosphere was heavy.Silent.Controlled.Jackson stood in front of a massive window, overlooking the dark horizon. His hands were clasped behind his back, his expression unreadable—but his presence alone was enough to suffocate anyone in the room.Footsteps approached.His assistant stopped a few feet behind him and bowed slightly.“Sir.”Jackson didn’t turn.“What is it?”The assistant hesitated for a brief second.Then—“The Council of Embers… they’ve started making their moves.”Silence followed.Then—Jackson’s lips curved into a faint smile.“So,” he murmured. “They finally couldn’t sit still anymore.”He slowly turned around, his sharp eyes glinting.“Which ones?”“Seraphine Drax… Kael Virex… and Octavia Voss,” the assistant reported. “They’ve all begun acting independently.”Jackson chuckled softly.“Of course they have.”His gaze darkened slightly.“Greedy vultures.”The assistant remained silent.Careful.Respectful.Because everyone knew—

Jasmine didn’t know what she was supposed to feel.Carl and Sophia were already together.She didn’t even know when it started.But no matter how hard she tried to stay composed… there was still a sting in her chest.Carl was supposed to be hers.He was her husband.And yet—She was the one who threw him away like he meant nothing.Maybe this was her karma.Painful.But deserved.What else could she do now?Carl had already moved on.“Excuse me, Miss? Can I sit here?”Jasmine lifted her head and looked at the man who spoke.She paused for a moment—she didn’t recognize him.But the café was already full, so she simply nodded.“Sure.”The man immediately took the seat across from her.“Ahm… forgive me,” he said with a friendly smile. “But are you okay? You look a little sad.”Jasmine frowned slightly.“It’s just… nothing.”The man chuckled.“Is it about a man?” he asked casually. “An ex, perhaps?”Jasmine fell silent.She didn’t know if she should answer. She didn’t even know this perso

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
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
