Chapter 298
The clash intensified.Every strike between Carl and Draken sent violent shockwaves across the room. Concrete cracked. Steel beams groaned. The entire structure trembled as if it might collapse at any second.Carl’s flames burned brighter—Wilder.Unstable.Draken blocked another punch, sliding back this time, his boots grinding against the broken floor.“…You’re pushing it,” Draken muttered, his tone no longer casual.Carl didn’t answer.He moved again.Faster.A blur—BOOM.This time, Draken’s guard broke.The impact sent him crashing through a concrete pillar.Dust filled the air.Silence—For half a second.Then Draken stepped out of the debris, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.And he smiled.“Now that’s more like it.”—Above them—From the shadows—Two figures watched.Octavia leaned slightly against a steel beam, arms crossed, her eyes fixed on Carl.Seraphine stood beside her, excitement practically radiating from her.“This is getting interesting,” Seraphine said

A wide smile spread across Seraphine’s lips the moment she saw the young woman lying unconscious on the long bench.Sophia’s hands were bound, her face covered.Slowly, almost excitedly, Seraphine approached her.She reached down—And removed the cloth covering her face.“There we are,” Seraphine murmured. “We meet again… my little guinea pig.”She lightly tapped Sophia’s nose, amused, before straightening up and turning her attention elsewhere.“You can come out now, Octavia,” Seraphine said casually. “I know you’re there.”A soft, amused laugh echoed through the room.Then—Octavia stepped out from behind Draken.Elegant.Composed.Watching everything like it was nothing more than entertainment.Seraphine rolled her eyes the moment she saw her.“Oh, you snake,” she muttered. “Don’t look so offended. I just want to watch the show. Don’t be so selfish.”Octavia smiled faintly, unfazed.“Watching is one thing,” she said smoothly. “Interfering is another.”Her gaze shifted—Landing on S

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

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
