Chapter 123: Reluctant Alliances
The cabin was eerily silent as Gregory and Dante prepared to leave. The weight of the situation had shifted in the last few minutes, and the sense of urgency was now palpable. Gregory could feel the eyes of the stranger on him, waiting for him to make his move. There was no more time for hesitation, no more time to pretend he could walk away from the reality that was pressing in on him.Dante, still weak but determined, was sitting up, his eyes scanning the room in confusion. He glanced at Gregory, then at the stranger, and then back at Gregory again. His lips parted, but no words came out.Gregory met Dante’s gaze, offering a small nod. “We need to go. I don’t know how much time we have before they find us.”Dante’s confusion deepened, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he allowed Gregory to help him to his feet, steadying him as his legs wobbled beneath him. His friend was clearly exhausted, his body still recovering from the wounds he’d sustained, but there was a fire in his eyes that G
Chapter 122: The Burden of Blood
Gregory stared at the man before him, the room spinning as his mind struggled to keep up with the truth that had just been unveiled. His father wasn’t some ordinary man; he was the owner of one of the world’s largest corporations. And not only that, but he had been searching for Gregory for years—searching for him, and somehow, failing to find him.The man’s words echoed in Gregory’s head, his brain unable to fully process them. “They’re coming for you.” The sentence alone sent a chill through his body. Who was ‘they’? Who had been after him all this time, and why? And why now?“What do you mean they’re coming for me?” Gregory finally forced the words out, his voice shaking with a mixture of disbelief and anger.The man’s gaze remained steady, but there was a shadow of concern in his eyes now. “You have enemies, Gregory. Powerful enemies. The kind who would do anything to ensure that you never step foot in the world you’re meant to inherit.”A sense of dread filled Gregory’s chest. He
Chapter 121: Secrets Unveiled
Gregory stood frozen, the weight of the man’s words sinking into him like a stone. The stranger knew his name. His full name. But more than that, he seemed to know everything—everything about his past, everything he’d been trying to escape.How?Gregory tightened his grip on the knife at his side. Every instinct screamed at him to be cautious, to stay alert. He had learned the hard way that no one could be trusted, not even for a moment. But something about this man, something about the way he spoke, kept Gregory’s suspicions at bay.“I don’t know who you think I am,” Gregory said, his voice taut, “but you’re wrong if you think I’ll just follow you without answers." Who are you really?”The man didn’t flinch. Instead, he took a step closer, his eyes glinting with a knowing intensity. “You want answers? I’ll give them to you. But first, we need to talk. And it’s not something we can do out here.”Gregory felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle. Something in the man’s tone left h
Chapter 120: The Calm Before the Storm
The clearing they had stumbled into was small but open, surrounded by towering cliffs that seemed to stretch toward the sky. It was quiet, almost unnervingly so. The air was crisp and fresh, and the distant sound of a waterfall trickled through the silence, offering a false sense of peace. The sunlight broke through the cracks in the rocks above them, casting long shadows across the ground. It was a beautiful, tranquil scene.But Gregory knew better than to trust the calm. This wasn’t the end. Not by a long shot.Dante lay next to him, still unconscious, but his breathing was steady, albeit shallow. Gregory had done the best he could to bandage the wound on Dante’s forehead, but the bleeding had stopped only temporarily. Dante’s body had been through so much already, and it was clear he wouldn’t survive much longer without help.Gregory's own body ached from the relentless escape, the bruises and cuts on his skin throbbing with each movement. His clothes were torn, dirt-smeared, and s
Chapter 119: A Flicker of Hope
The darkness was suffocating, the air thick with dust and debris. Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest as he dragged Dante along the jagged tunnel floor, the narrow space making every movement feel like an impossible task. His body screamed for rest, but there was no time. He couldn’t afford to stop, not now, not when they were still trapped in the collapsing tunnel, cut off from the world above.The sound of rubble shifting behind them was relentless, the rumbling of the earth a constant reminder that they were running out of time. Gregory’s eyes flicked to Dante, who was barely conscious, his face pale and sweat-slicked. Dante’s breaths were shallow, each one labored, but at least he was alive. That was enough for Gregory to push forward, to keep moving, even when every part of him begged for rest.“Dante, stay with me,” Gregory said, his voice strained. “We’ll get out. We just need to keep moving.”Dante nodded weakly, his lips parting in an effort to speak, but no words came. He
Chapter 118: The Final Push
The opening was small, barely big enough for a person to squeeze through. But it was their only hope. Gregory’s pulse pounded in his ears, his breaths shallow as he sprinted toward it, the sound of the tunnel crumbling behind them like thunder. The ground beneath them shook again, and for a moment, it felt as though the tunnel itself was alive, fighting against their escape.“Move!” Dante shouted, pushing Gregory forward as they neared the opening. His eyes were wild with urgency, his face strained with pain, but there was no time to stop. There was no time to hesitate.Gregory’s chest ached as he ran, his muscles screaming in protest, but the fear of being buried alive pushed him forward. The rumbling intensified, the tunnel collapsing inch by inch. The ceiling above them groaned, and dust filled the air, making it harder to breathe.“Almost there!” Gregory gasped, his eyes fixed on the narrow gap. He could see the faint light of the outside world beyond it, a tiny sliver of hope in
