Chapter 277: The Game
Gregory’s body felt weightless, as if suspended in a vast, formless void. The crushing pressure of the collapsing chamber was gone, replaced by an eerie stillness.For a long moment, there was nothing, no sound, no light, no sensation at all. It was as if the world had ceased to exist, leaving only the vast emptiness.His thoughts were sluggish, fragmented, as though the very fabric of his consciousness was being pulled apart and reassembled.The relic's pulse echoed through his mind like a distant heartbeat, its rhythm slow and steady, but tinged with an unmistakable sense of foreboding. He tried to move, to find his bearings, but his limbs were frozen, his senses dulled.Then, slowly, the darkness began to shift, A faint glow appeared in the distance, weak at first, like the last flicker of a dying flame. Gregory’s eyes snapped open, the haze lifting just enough for him to see the flickering light growing brighter, drawing him in.He tried to focus on it, to move toward it, but the
Chapter 276: The Unraveling
The room seemed to distort as the door slowly creaked open, the mysterious light from within pushing outward like the floodgates of some long-forgotten realm.Gregory hesitated for a fraction of a second, his heartbeat drumming in his chest. He wasn’t sure what to expect, perhaps it was the truth he had sought for so long, or perhaps it was the end of everything he had known.The harbinger’s warning echoed in his ears, but there was no turning back now. Gregory’s body moved of its own accord, his legs carrying him toward the opening without a second thought.His focus remained locked on the doorway, and despite the terror pulsing beneath his skin, his will was unshakable.The walls rumbled again as a gust of air, ancient and cold, poured from the opening, sweeping through the hall and extinguishing the flickering lights. The eerie glow from within the door grew brighter, casting long shadows across the room.In the distance, the low rumble of thunder sounded like a harbinger of doom,
Chapter 275: The Legacy Awakened
The air in the hall thickened, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath, waiting for the storm to unleash.Gregory’s heart beat loudly in his chest, matching the heavy silence that lingered after the gunshot. He hadn’t expected the harbinger to shoot, everything had been too sudden, too cold.But as the echoes of the blast reverberated through the chamber, he realized that the stakes had just escalated beyond anything he’d anticipated.“Gregory!” Naomi’s voice sliced through the air, filled with both fear and determination. Her hand shot out toward him, but he was already in motion, moving toward the intruder who stood between him and whatever truth lay beyond those ancient doors.The harbinger’s gun lowered slightly as he stepped closer, his movements deliberate.“You think you’re ready for this?” he taunted, his voice cold as steel. “You have no idea what you’re up against.”Gregory’s mind raced. The words haunted him, but something inside him burned with an unexpected r
Chapter 274: The Storm Unleashed
The narrow corridor’s echo still vibrated in Gregory’s ears as the tense group pressed forward. Every step they took felt like a march toward an uncertain fate.The earlier threat, the unseen watcher whose sinister whisper had promised that time was running out, now loomed as an omnipresent reminder that danger was never far behind.Logan’s steady gaze was fixed ahead as he led the group through a labyrinth of decrepit hallways and hidden passageways deep beneath the estate.Mr. Sutherland and Naomi shared uneasy glances, their faces etched with the years of turmoil that had brought them here. Tristan moved silently, every muscle tensed with anticipation.But Gregory couldn’t shake the weight of that cryptic message from his phone nor the memory of that echoing voice: “You can’t escape this, Gregory. It’s already started.”As they turned a corner, the temperature dropped abruptly. The flickering fluorescent lights revealed new markings on the walls, enigmatic symbols that pulsed with
Chapter 273: The Echoes of Fate
The elevator doors closed with a soft whoosh, enclosing Gregory, Logan, and Mr. Sutherland in a small metal box that felt increasingly like a tomb. In the oppressive silence, Gregory’s phone vibrated sharply in his pocket.He pulled it out, his eyes scanning the screen. A single message had come through, its words chilling him to the bone: “You can’t escape this, Gregory. It’s already started.”The message pulsed on the screen in harsh red letters, as though it were burning into his mind. For a long heartbeat, no one spoke.The confined space amplified every sound, the faint humming of the elevator’s cables, the steady pulse of Gregory’s heart, and then, the voice came over the phone’s speaker, distorted yet unmistakably urgent: “Gregory, listen carefully. They are closer than you think.The game you believe you’re playing has already begun its move. Accept your past, or it will consume your future.”Gregory’s mind swirled with questions. Who was “they”? The forces that had defined hi
Chapter 272: The Hidden Enemy
The footsteps grew louder, echoing in the dimly lit corridor, each step seeming to draw closer. Gregory’s heart skipped a beat, his instincts flaring to life as he spun around, his gaze scanning the shadows behind them.Logan’s hand immediately went to the gun holstered at his waist, his body tense, ready to react. Mr. Sutherland’s face was hard, his eyes sharp as he turned to face the sound. They weren’t alone anymore. But who was it? Was it Adrian? Or someone else?Before they could make a move, a figure emerged from the darkness, stepping into the flickering light of the hallway. It was a woman, tall and striking, with dark, sharp features that gave off an air of authority and danger.Her cold blue eyes locked on Gregory, a subtle smirk playing at the corners of her lips.“Well, well,” she said in a voice that was both soft and dangerously confident.“What a pleasant surprise. You really have grown, Gregory.”Gregory’s breath caught in his chest. There was something hauntingly fami
