The car sped down the narrow, winding street, the tires screeching in protest against the slick pavement. Gregory’s heart raced, every beat a reminder of how fragile their chances were. The masked man’s gunshot had shattered the rear window, sending glass shards flying like deadly confetti. The air inside the car was thick with tension, and Gregory could feel the sharp sting of adrenaline coursing through him, making his hands shake.

Dante’s face was set, his jaw clenched tight, eyes fixed on the road ahead. There was no hesitation in his movements as he expertly maneuvered the car, weaving between obstacles and speeding through red lights without a second thought. Every decision was calculated, but even Dante’s expert driving couldn’t stop the menacing car behind them. The pursuit was relentless, and it was clear that they wouldn’t let up until they had captured—or killed—them both.

“Keep low!” Dante barked over his shoulder, his voice cutting through the chaos.

  • 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

  • Chapter 212: The Game Shifts

    The sound of footsteps grew louder as they echoed through the narrow hallway. Gregory’s breath caught in his throat. He froze, his body instinctively moving toward the shadows, every muscle tense as if preparing for a fight. But the truth was, there was nowhere to hide. They were exposed.The stranger, too, seemed to sense the danger. His hand hovered near his side, where a weapon would usually be. But there was no time for hesitation now. Their only option was to move fast, or risk being cornered.“We can’t outrun them,” Gregory whispered, his voice tight. “They’re already on us.”The stranger didn’t respond immediately, his eyes narrowing as he listened intently. Then, without warning, he grabbed Gregory’s arm and yanked him toward an alleyway branching off from the main hall. It was a narrow passage, shrouded in darkness, the walls pressing in like a vice. They sprinted down the alley, hoping to lose the pursuers.But the footsteps were still there, faint at first, but steadily gro

  • Chapter 211: The Trap Tightens

    The moment Gregory’s eyes locked with Victor’s, a chill crawled down his spine. It wasn’t just the surprise of seeing him here, deep in the heart of the labyrinth; it was the cold, calculating look in Victor’s eyes. A look that seemed to promise nothing but trouble.Victor’s lips curved into a smirk, one that didn’t quite reach his eyes. He was a man accustomed to control, and his very presence seemed to assert dominance over the darkness surrounding them. “Did you think you could just run away?”Victor asked, his voice a smooth, taunting drawl. “You’re trapped, Gregory. You and your friend both.”The stranger beside Gregory stiffened, his hand hovering near his side, where a weapon might have been holstered, but he didn’t pull it out. There was a tension in the air, an unspoken standoff.Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest, but he refused to back down. He stepped forward, clenching his fists. “What do you want, Victor? You already have everything. Why do you keep coming after me?”
