Chapter 283
For a brief moment—Everything went silent.Carl stood there, his chest rising and falling, Duane’s words echoing in his mind.The moment you understand… is the moment you stop holding back.Something inside him shifted.Snapped.His fingers twitched—Then tightened into a fist.Heat gathered.Not the usual kind.Not just warmth.Something deeper.Something alive.Carl frowned slightly, staring at his own hand.“…What—”Then—FWOOSH.Flame erupted from his palm.But it wasn’t normal fire.It burned brighter.Sharper.Almost… golden.Carl’s eyes widened in shock.“…Fire?”No—Not fire.He could feel it.This wasn’t something external.It was part of him.Flowing through his veins.Responding to his will.A slow smile formed on Duane’s lips.“There it is,” he murmured. “Dragon Flame.”Carl clenched his fist tighter.The flame surged—stronger, more intense.His eyes flickered with that same glow.“…So this is what you meant.”Duane chuckled. “You’re finally starting to understand.”Carl

Seraphine Drax slipped off her white coat as she walked out of her laboratory, her movements calm—almost leisurely—despite the chaos beginning to unfold around her.Kael was already there, waiting, hands tucked into his pockets.“You really sent him here, huh?” Seraphine said, irritation clear in her voice. “Did you forget how valuable my experiments are?”Kael simply shrugged. “You took his fiancée. He would’ve found this place eventually.” A faint smirk formed. “You know him.”Seraphine rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”She tapped something near her ear.“Evacuate everything,” she ordered coldly.A voice responded immediately from the other end. “How about the woman, Mistress?”Seraphine paused for a brief moment.Then—“Leave her,” she said without hesitation. “It’s already done.”A slow smirk spread across her lips.“Tell Duane to handle our visitor.”She cut the line.Kael glanced at her, curious. “You injected her already?”“Of course,” Seraphine replied, almost amused. “It would be

Darkness.Heavy.Suffocating.Then—A faint sound.Beep… beep… beep…Sophia’s fingers twitched.Her eyes slowly fluttered open.Blurred lights greeted her first—white, harsh, unfamiliar. Her head throbbed, her body felt heavy… like it didn’t belong to her.“…Ugh…”She tried to move—But couldn’t.Her eyes snapped fully open.Her wrists.Her ankles.Strapped.Cold metal restraints held her firmly against a narrow bed.Panic surged instantly.“W-What…?”Her breathing quickened as she struggled, but the restraints didn’t budge.The room around her came into focus.Sterile.Cold.Almost like a laboratory.Machines lined the walls. Glass containers filled with strange, glowing substances. Tubes. Instruments. Shadows flickering under dim lights.Fear crept into her chest.“Carl…” she whispered weakly.Then—Footsteps.Slow.Calm.Deliberate.Sophia’s head snapped toward the sound.A woman stepped into view.Elegant.Composed.Dressed in a pristine white coat.Her long dark hair fell smoothl

The air inside the warehouse turned suffocating.Heat coiled around Carl like a living thing, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and the faint glow in his eyes deepened into something far more dangerous.Kael Virex straightened from the railing above, his calm smile never quite leaving—but his eyes… his eyes were sharp now.Interested.“So,” Kael murmured, stepping forward. “That’s the reaction I was waiting for.”Carl didn’t answer.He moved.In an instant, he shot upward—leaping toward the metal walkway with explosive force.BOOM.The railing bent under the impact as Carl’s fist came crashing down—But Kael wasn’t there.A blur.A shift.Carl’s strike shattered steel.Kael reappeared a few steps away, hands casually behind his back.“Fast,” he commented lightly.Carl turned, his gaze locked onto him.“Where is she?”Kael tilted his head. “Still alive.”A pause.“For now.”Carl vanished again.This time—faster.More precise.His fist cut through the air toward Kael’s chest—But Kae

Carl still went to the warehouse.Even after everything Rex had said.Even knowing it was a trap.Because sometimes…The only way forward—Was straight through the fire.—Sector 9 Warehouse stood like a corpse at the edge of the docks.Silent.Waiting.Sophia glanced at Carl as they approached. “I thought you said it was a trap.”Carl didn’t slow down.“It is.”“Then why are we here?”Carl’s eyes darkened.“Because traps only work if you’re afraid to step into them.”Sophia fell quiet.There was something different in his voice now.Something colder.More dangerous.—The moment they stepped inside—The doors slammed shut behind them.Bang.Sophia flinched. “Carl—”Lights flickered on.One by one.Revealing the truth.Figures.Dozens of them.Standing in the shadows.Watching.Waiting.Sophia’s breath caught. “Oh my God…”Dragon Vessels.Not just a few.Not ten.Dozens.All marked.All staring at Carl like predators.Or prey.Carl stepped forward.Slow.Unbothered.“…So this is where
Chapter 278
The night deepened as Carl and Sophia made their way toward the docks.Sector 9.The name alone carried weight.Rusting containers. Flickering lights. The distant sound of waves crashing against metal and stone. It was the kind of place where deals were made… and people disappeared.Sophia wrapped her arms around herself, glancing around uneasily. “This place gives me a bad feeling.”Carl didn’t respond.His senses were sharper now—alert, focused.Watching.Then—He stopped.Sophia followed his gaze.Behind them.Footsteps.Slow. Deliberate.Not hiding.Carl turned.The same man from earlier—the one who had spoken—was standing there again.Bruised. Shaken.But still standing.“…You followed us,” Carl said flatly.The man let out a dry laugh. “Didn’t have much of a choice.”Carl’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Explain.”The man raised his hands, not in surrender—but in something closer to exhaustion.“You asked where Duane Cruz is,” he said. “I told you the location. But that’s not the whol
