Chapter 171: The Game You Don’t See
“Wait.”Robert didn’t turn around right away. The word hung in the air behind him, low and steady. It wasn't a shout or a plea, it was just a statement, placed exactly where it needed to be.He stood still for a heartbeat, then slowly looked back over his shoulder.Frederick hadn’t moved much. He was still standing in the garden, wrapped in shadows, but his posture was different now. He looked relaxed and composed again. Whatever crack had shown in his face earlier was gone, replaced by that same old calm.“Just one more thing,” Frederick said.Robert didn’t say anything, but he didn't keep walking either.Frederick took a few slow steps forward. He kept his hands at his sides, acting like the tension from a few minutes ago had never happened. “I’ll keep it simple,” he added. He paused, then said, “I owe you a car.”That was enough to make Robert turn his whole body around. It wasn't that he cared about the offer, it was the timing that didn't fit.Frederick watched him closely, a fa
Chapter 170: The Truth Beneath the Blood
The fire was still burning behind him.The flames moved slowly now, no longer wild and loud, but steady and calm. It was the kind of fire that didn’t need to hurry because it had already finished its job. Robert didn't bother looking back at the wreck. He stood perfectly still, the red light from the burning car stretching his shadow across the dirt like a second person standing there with him.Across from him, Frederick didn't move either. The air between them felt heavy, like a weight was pressing down on everything. It wasn't an explosion, just a deep, cold pressure. It felt like something was about to break, but neither of them wanted to be the first one to lose their cool.Robert took a step forward.It was a slow, calm move. His eyes hadn't gone back to normal yet. That faint blue light still sat behind them— not flashing or jumping around, just staying there. It was a quiet power, watching every move Frederick made.Frederick tilted his head, looking Robert up and down. “Care
Chapter 169: Blood Doesn’t Betray
“Brother.”The word sat in the air like a weight that didn't belong there. Robert didn’t say anything right away. He just stood his ground, looking at the man in front of him the same way a person looks at a threat they already know how to handle.“I’m not your brother, Frederick,” Robert said. His voice was flat, colder than the wind blowing through the trees.For a moment, the only sound was the leaves rustling. Then Frederick let out a short laugh. “Is that how you greet me?” he asked. “After all the time that's passed?”Robert didn’t look away. “If this is your way of reaching out, you picked the wrong path.”Frederick tilted his head, watching Robert with a look of mock curiosity. “Wrong? I showed you a video.”“You sent a threat.” Robert responded.Frederick’s mouth twisted into a small smile. “Did I? No one touched them, Robert. No one got hurt.” He paused, letting the silence settle between them. “But you moved, didn’t you? You left everything behind and came straight to me.
Chapter 168: The Road That Doesn’t Turn Back
The road was empty. No headlights, no traffic, just a long stretch of black asphalt through the dark.The Koenigsegg Regera moved with a quiet power, staying low to the ground like it was part of the road itself. Robert’s hands tightened on the wheel for a second before he pressed his foot down.The car didn't hesitate. The engine revved, and suddenly the world around him began to stretch. The streetlights blurred into long, golden lines, and the distance between one heartbeat and the next felt thinner.The speed climbed fast— too fast for any normal person to handle. The needle swept past 200, then 240, then 280. It didn't stop there. He stepped harder and the car vibrated but it remained on track and hit 312 miles per hour. The road ahead stayed straight and empty, almost like it had been cleared just for him.Robert didn't slow down. He kept his eyes locked on the horizon, his focus as steady as the machine he was driving. The night air pressed hard against the glass, but the car
Chapter 167: The Eyes That Never Left
Robert stood perfectly still in the middle of the room. The video on his phone finished loading, and for a second, the screen stayed black. Then the video started playing.His eyes narrowed as the image became clear.It was the penthouse. Not just any part of it, but the exact room he had walked out of only minutes ago. The camera angle was steady and far away, positioned like a predator watching from the trees.Then he saw them.Avery, Anna, and Rose.They were laughing together. Avery was sitting on the couch, her hand moving slightly as she spoke, the red diamond on her finger reflecting the light with every motion. Anna was pacing again, but the stress was gone, she was talking fast and acting something out, making Rose laugh.It looked normal, they were happy. And that was exactly why it felt so dangerous.Robert didn't blink. The camera wasn't inside the room, it was outside, zoomed in through the glass from a distance. It was stable and deliberate. He studied the height and t
Chapter 166: The Call Waiting in the Dark
The Ferrari didn’t slow down until the city started to thin out and the bright lights of the center were far behind them.The streetlamps stretched across the road in long, glowing lines that reflected off the hood as Robert drove straight through the quiet streets. Avery sat beside him, the smile she had been wearing at the restaurant completely gone. Her hand rested lightly on his arm, her fingers staying close as if she didn't want to lose that connection even for a second.Neither of them said much. The weight of those missed calls sat between them, making the air in the car feel heavy. It wasn't normal. Not for Anna to call four times in a row, and certainly not for Rose to do the same.Robert turned into the hotel entrance without slowing down. The guards at the front recognized the car immediately and stepped aside, the gates swinging open before the engine had even begun to settle. He didn't stop at the front. He drove the Ferrari down into the underground parking, the roar
