Chapter 218: The Call
Gregory’s hand trembled as he stared at the phone screen. His father’s name glowed in stark contrast against the darkness of the car’s interior. The world outside the window blurred as his mind froze, unable to comprehend the reality of the situation.He had been trying to avoid this call for years. It was the last thing he wanted, and yet here it was. A reminder that there was no escaping the past, no matter how hard he tried.The young man driving the car shot him a glance, his expression unreadable. “You going to answer that?” he asked, his voice flat.Gregory’s finger hovered over the screen, his thumb trembling. He could feel the weight of the decision pressing down on him. If he answered, he knew it would mean going back. Going back to the man who had abandoned him, to the world that had been the cause of his misery for so long.But if he didn’t answer, what would happen? Would his father send someone after him? Would he be forced to run again, to disappear into the shadows? “Yo
Chapter 217: The Breach
The crash echoed through the narrow hallways, vibrating the walls as Gregory’s heart raced in his chest. He barely had time to react before the young man lunged forward, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him toward the far corner of the room.“Stay low!” the young man hissed urgently.Gregory didn’t need to be told twice. He crouched low, pressing himself against the cold stone wall as his pulse quickened. The noise outside grew loudera frantic scramble of footsteps and voices echoing through the narrow corridors. “Get the door! Now!” one of the voices shouted, muffled by the thick walls.Gregory’s mind spun as he tried to make sense of the situation. The safe house was supposed to be secure, hidden from the very people who were chasing him. But now, it seemed as though the walls were closing in on him, and every move he made only led him deeper into the web of danger.The young man, still standing by the door, was focused, his gaze sharp and calculating. He seemed to be waiting for
Chapter 216: The Hidden Pursuit
Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest as he sprinted through the shadowy alleyway. The air was cold, biting at his skin, but it wasn’t the chill that made him shiver. It was the unmistakable sound of pursuit the sirens drawing closer, the faint echo of footsteps that seemed to follow him no matter how quickly he ran.The young man was ahead of him, his form a blur in the darkness. Gregory had no choice but to follow, trusting him despite his doubts, despite the nagging feeling that every decision he made led him deeper into a maze of lies and danger.They turned another corner, and the city’s lights flickered behind them like distant stars, almost mocking in their distance. Gregory glanced over his shoulder, his breath ragged, but he couldn’t see who or what was pursuing them. The dark streets seemed empty, but he knew better than to trust appearances.The stranger, still leading the way, glanced back once, his eyes narrowing. “They’re getting closer,” he muttered under his breath. “W
Chapter 215: The Unseen Watchers
Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest as the knock echoed through the room. It was too loud, too abrupt, cutting through the tense silence like a knife. He could feel the young man’s presence behind him, the weight of his eyes watching every move, every breath he took.Who was at the door? And what did they want? Gregory’s mind raced through possibilities, was it the network the young man had warned him about? Were they here to silence him before he could learn more?The young man’s voice was barely a whisper, urgent and filled with warning. “Don’t open the door. Whatever happens, do not let them in.”Gregory’s gaze shifted to the door, the wood now seeming like a barrier to a world of unknown threats. But what was waiting for him on the other side? He had no choice but to move quickly, calculating his next steps. There was too much at stake now.“Who is it?” Gregory called out, his voice steady despite the knot in his stomach. He took a cautious step back, positioning himself between
Chapter 214: The Hidden Enemy
The weight of the young man’s words settled heavily on Gregory’s chest. His father’s empire, built on lies, manipulation, and secrets. Could it be true? Was everything he’d known a facade? The very idea made his stomach twist in knots.He had to act. He couldn’t let these revelations slip away, not now. His father’s empire wasn’t just a company, it was a ticking time bomb, one that had already detonated within his own life. But how much of it was real? How much had been hidden from him for so long?The stranger with the gun stepped forward, his eyes cold and calculating. “You don’t know who you’re dealing with, kid. There are forces at play here that you can’t even begin to understand.”Gregory didn’t flinch. His mind was already racing with possibilities. He could feel the tension building in the room, thick enough to cut with a knife. The young man had just opened a door to a nightmare, and now Gregory had no choice but to step through it.“Who are you?” Gregory demanded, his voice
Chapter 213: The Lies Unravel
The sound of footsteps echoed down the narrow hallway, growing louder and more distinct by the second. Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest. He had barely processed the stranger’s cryptic words before the threat outside became far too real. “Someone’s coming,” Gregory whispered, his voice tense.The stranger’s eyes flashed with concern, and his hand instinctively moved to the gun at his side. “Stay quiet,” he ordered, his voice low and urgent. He moved toward the far corner of the room, positioning himself where he could see the door without being seen. Gregory followed his lead, crouching low as they both waited, hearts racing.The footsteps stopped. The silence was thick and oppressive, like a weight bearing down on them. Seconds stretched into eternity. Gregory’s mind raced. Could it be another group of pursuers? Had they already found them? Or was it something else, someone else entirely?Then the sound came again, soft, hesitant, as if testing the air. It was no longer the confi
