Chapter 270: The Unseen Watcher
Gregory froze, his eyes darting toward the dark corner of the room. The shadow had passed too quickly for him to fully register, but the sensation of being watched, hunted, surged through him once again.His fingers clenched around the hilt of his knife, but even he knew it wouldn’t be enough. Logan, however, seemed unfazed. His posture remained casual, though there was an alertness in his eyes that suggested he was ready for anything.Mr. Sutherland, on the other hand, didn’t even flinch. He stood with the calm authority of someone who had seen much worse in his time. “Logan…”Gregory’s voice was a strained whisper. He couldn’t keep the nervousness out of his tone. “Did you hear that?”Logan didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he slowly shifted toward the door, his eyes scanning every inch of the room. “I’m not sure,” he said quietly. “But we need to stay sharp.”A tense silence hung in the air as they waited, the only sound the faint hum of the building’s systems. Gregory’s heart ha
Chapter 269: The Quiet Pursuit
The sound of the click echoed in Gregory’s ears long after it faded. He didn’t dare turn around to confirm what he already knew, that someone was following them, watching their every move.The weight of the situation pressed heavily on him, a gnawing sensation deep in his gut. Logan and Mr. Sutherland were already moving toward the elevator, but Gregory’s legs felt like lead. His pulse raced, and he could feel the heat rising in his chest as panic threatened to take hold.The last thing he wanted was to be alone in this situation again, vulnerable and exposed, like the frightened boy he once was.But no one seemed to acknowledge the presence that loomed just behind them. Logan, as ever, was focused on the task at hand, his steps steady and deliberate.Mr. Sutherland, as usual, betrayed nothing, but there was a quiet tension in the way he scanned the hallway. They were both aware of something that Gregory wasn’t a detail, a subtle clue that he hadn’t yet pieced together.“Are we being
Chapter 268: The Shadow in the Hallway
The moment the door swung open, Gregory froze. The hallway before them was eerily silent, the only sound being the soft hum of distant machinery.But it wasn’t the stillness of the space that made his skin crawl, it was the figure standing at the end of the hall.A tall, cloaked figure, their features hidden in the shadows, stared at them with unsettling calm. There was something predatory in the way they stood, as if they were watching their prey, waiting for the right moment to strike.Gregory’s instincts flared, his muscles tense with the sense that something terrible was about to unfold.“Who’s that?” Gregory asked, his voice barely above a whisper. He didn’t know whether he was asking Mr. Sutherland or Logan, but the urgency in his tone was unmistakable.Mr. Sutherland’s expression hardened, his hand subtly moving toward the concealed weapon at his side. But Logan was the first to speak.“Don’t engage,” he ordered in a low, clipped voice. “It’s not time for that yet.”Gregory’s c
Chapter 267: The Unseen Hand
The room erupted into chaos as Gregory grappled with the intruders. Every muscle in his body screamed, but adrenaline kept him pushing forward.His fists flew with fury, every punch fueled by years of humiliation and rejection. He could feel the weight of his newfound purpose driving him, refusing to let the enemy take control.But they were trained. The two men were fast, experienced, and ruthless. Each move they made was calculated, precise. One of them managed to slam Gregory into the wall, the impact rattling his bones. For a moment, everything went black.“Gregory!” Naomi’s voice pierced through the haze of pain.He shook his head, blinking rapidly to clear his vision. His body was sore, but the fire inside him refused to dim, Just as the intruders prepared to land another strike, the door to the room exploded open, sending splinters flying in all directions.A new figure stepped through the cloud of debris, his silhouette cutting through the dust like a shadow.“Enough!” the fig
Chapter 266: The Enemy Approaches
The sound of heavy boots echoed down the hallway, growing louder with every passing second. Gregory’s heart skipped a beat as his gaze darted toward the door.A chill ran down his spine. The moment they had been dreading had finally arrived. They weren’t safe, not yet. The enemy had found them.“Get ready,” Darius whispered, his voice low but filled with urgency. His hand instinctively reached for the gun holstered at his side.Gregory’s mind raced. He had come so far, fought so hard for this moment. And now, it seemed like it was all about to crumble. His dreams of power, the life he had been promised, were at the mercy of the people who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted.“What’s going on?” Naomi asked, her voice tense. She was already reaching for the weapon hidden beneath her jacket, her expression set in determination.Gregory could feel the pressure mounting in the room. His mind was torn between running and standing his ground. The man who had raised him, the man he
Chapter 265: The Truth Revealed
Gregory’s heart raced as Mr. Sutherland stepped into the room. The air was thick with tension. The man who had been searching for him for years, who had given up everything to find his lost son was now standing before him.But Gregory couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. What was Mr. Sutherland’s true intention? Was this the moment he had been waiting for his whole life, or was it just another twisted game being played?“Gregory,” Mr. Sutherland said, his voice gravelly but filled with emotion. “It’s been a long time.”Gregory stood frozen, unable to move, as the weight of the situation crashed down on him. The world had turned upside down in the blink of an eye, and he was struggling to catch his breath.He was staring at the man who was supposedly his father, but all he felt was confusion and betrayal. For all his life, he had believed the man who raised him was his father. And now, everything he knew was in question.“You... You’re really him?” Gregory asked, his voice a mixture o
