Chapter 184-6
Hans walked slowly, his boots rubbing against the dusty warehouse floor. A lopsided smile spread across his face, a smile that made the air around him feel even more stale than before.His hand - rough, scarred by metal scraping - reached out and touched Vanessa's cheek.The touch made Vanessa's body stiffen. Her stomach churned, but her eyes stared straight on without blinking, refusing to give in to the fear the man wanted."Wow..." Hans hisses, his eyes sweeping over Vanessa's face and then down slowly-too slowly. His gaze was skinning, probing, probing in a way that was even more repulsive than his touch."I never thought Kaelvarion held such a beautiful gem," he murmured. Her breath smelled of tobacco and rotten food scraps. "Your body... slim, solid. You must work out a lot, huh?"He whistled softly, like he was admiring a work of art, but his gaze was disgusting, sycophantic, killing any respect she had left for him as a human being.Vanessa gritted her teeth. Her hands were st

"You-" Vanessa choked up. Her throat went dry at the sight of Glen's lifeless body. "You killed your own men?"Var didn't answer. Her smile slowly cracked, a smile that was more sinister than threatening. With quiet steps, he drew his knife, approaching unhurriedly. Vanessa squirmed, her body trying to get as far away from him as it could."Stay away!" she shouted, but her voice sounded fragile.The knife... Vanessa held her breath as Var raised it. But instead of attacking, she sheathed it again. Then, the man's hand extended towards her.Vanessa closed her eyes tightly. Fear made her whole body tremble.But what she felt was not a touch on her body. It was the sound of metal clinking softly. The chains that cuffed her were slowly released.Vanessa frowned, her gaze piercing towards Var. The man-who had just exuded such thick evil-now stood with a calm, almost warm smile. The change in his demeanor was drastic, making Vanessa even more wary."You've escaped," Var said, his voice soft
Chapter 184-4
Vanessa's eyelids slowly twitched, then opened little by little. But it wasn't the morning sunlight that greeted her, but the dim light from an old light bulb hanging precariously from the ceiling. A warehouse.The damp, dusty air immediately assaulted her nostrils. Her vision was still blurry, but she could make out the silhouettes of two stern-faced men in faded military uniforms standing not far from where she lay. On the other side, a young man was staring at her from a distance—his face filled with dislike, and Vanessa recognized him immediately.“That boy... the one I shot with the teaser.”Vanessa's heart raced. Her breath caught in her throat. She reflexively tried to get up, but her body was immediately pulled back to the floor with the sound of chains dragging across the rusty iron floor.Her eyes widened. Her hands and feet—bound by thick metal chains. The skin on her wrists was already red and raw.Her body lay sprawled on the cold, dirty floor, as if the world had turned

Vanessa's steps echoed softly on the deserted sidewalk. She walked down the city streets with her head slightly bowed, her face hidden behind a mask and wide brimmed hat. Duskvale, usually bustling with tourists and family laughter, now felt like a town that was holding its breath.The storefronts are empty, the lights glow drearily without visitors. The occasional sound of a passing vehicle can be heard, but not many. Fear has imprisoned people behind the doors of their homes. No more couples holding hands in the park, or children chasing birds in the square.Vanessa stared at the mostly empty convenience store shelves - no rice, no instant noodles, not even a few bottles of mineral water. Panic buying had changed the face of Duskvale. Purchasing power declined, not because of a lack of money, but because of a numbing fear.Vanessa had just left the Q-Entertainment building, wearing a dark coat that waved in the afternoon breeze. This time, there was no Jordan by her side-no lighthe

“This kind of purchase is excessive!” snapped a minister, his voice echoing throughout the courtroom.The veins in his neck bulged, his face red with emotion. His hands clenched on the table, his fingers trembling with rage.“Look at what’s happening!” he continued, his voice rising. “Panic buying is rampant! Duskvale’s economy is in shambles, and now... other cities are starting to follow suit!” His gaze was accusatory, as if blaming the governor for all the turmoil.Other officials began to whisper, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense. But Governor Westhaven sat calmly, his face expressionless, as if listening to a weather report. However, it was that very calmness that only fueled the minister’s anger further.Governor Westhaven let out a long sigh, a heavy exhalation escaping his lips like a burden he couldn’t shed. His forehead furrowed deeply, signaling growing confusion. His gaze was vacant as he stared at the table, as if trying to guess what Harvey was truly planning.W
Chapter 184-1
A man scooped up all the vegetables with both hands and stuffed them into the trolley in a hurry, as if his life depended on it. Without pause, he scooped up dozens of sausage wrappers and threw them in roughly, nearly spilling the trolley."Honey!" he called out to the woman behind who was also pushing the trolley. His breathing was heavy, his face full of tension. "Take as much as you can! Don't forget the condiments! I'll get some beer!"The woman nodded quickly without replying, then quickly split up. They blended into the sea of people, jostling for shelf after shelf. This was no ordinary shopping. This was a scramble, a mass panic. All hands claw, grab, and scramble, as if the world will end in a matter of hours.In another corner, a homeless man stands still, clutching a shabby loaf of bread-the only thing he's managed to grab. His hands trembled, his eyes darting around the long line in front of the cashier. The change in his pocket was barely enough to pay for the meal. But h
