Gregory stood frozen as Victor lowered the smoking pistol. The remaining black team operatives hesitated, unsure whether to return fire or retreat.

Victor didn't wait for their decision.

He fired again—twice—dropping another attacker and sending the rest diving for cover. “MOVE!” he barked at Gregory and Avery. “Now!”

They bolted through the wrecked kitchen, following Victor’s lead down a narrow service hall. Emergency lights flickered as the estate’s systems scrambled to adjust to Victor’s cyber-attack.

“Thought you were dead,” Gregory huffed, ducking under a beam as they ran.

“I was supposed to be,” Victor growled. “That was the deal. Stay dead, stay safe. But your idiot brother pushed too far.”

They skidded into a cramped stairwell. Victor punched a code into a wall panel, revealing a hidden passage behind a freezer. “He’s consolidating power. He plans to announce your death publicly at the press conference in two hours. He wants to install himself as the Ferris heir and bury every

  • Chapter 241: The Hidden Path

    Gregory’s breath caught in his throat as the earth beneath him cracked open, revealing a narrow passage that led downward into an abyss. The tremors of the ground subsided, leaving only the echo of his quickened heartbeat in the suffocating silence.The figure before him didn’t move; it simply stood, watching, waiting For a moment, Gregory felt frozen, caught between the unknown terror of what lay ahead and the overwhelming desire to escape the suffocating grasp of the pit.But then, the words of the mysterious figure echoed in his mind: You have the power to take it, His inheritance. His birthright, It was all tied to this strange, dark journey. He couldn’t turn back now, not when he was so close to uncovering the truth.With a deep breath, he took a step forward, his body trembling as he approached the yawning passage.

  • Chapter 240: The Fall

    Gregory’s scream echoed through the darkness as he fell. The air rushed past him in a blur, but there was no sense of time no sense of where he was or how far he had fallen. His body collided with the ground hard, but he barely felt it.His mind was consumed by the fear of what was chasing him, the suffocating presence of the creature that seemed to draw nearer with every passing moment.The pit was deep, darker than the night, and the walls were jagged and uneven. He scrambled to his feet, his breath ragged, and his heart racing. There was no time to waste. He had to get out had to escape.But the moment he stood, he realized he wasn’t alone.A figure emerged from the shadows, a tall silhouette that blended seamlessly into the darkness around it.Gregory’s body tensed, every muscle ready to flee, but the figure’s movements were slow, deliberate. It didn’t attack. Instead, it stepped closer, its presence almost suffocating, like a storm cloud that filled the air with anticipation. “Wh

  • Chapter 239: The Hidden Power

    The ground trembled violently beneath Gregory’s feet as a deep, rumbling sound filled the air. The leaves on the trees above rustled as if some great storm was approaching, but this wasn’t the weather. This was something far worse, something unnatural.Gregory struggled to stand, his legs shaky from the ordeal he had just been through. His hands were covered in dirt, and his body ached from the force of the dark figure’s grip. But there was no time to rest, no time to wonder what had just happened.The air felt thick with impending doom. “Stay close to me,” the first figure ordered, its voice low and authoritative. Gregory glanced up at it, trying to steady himself. He still couldn’t fully comprehend what was happening.The sheer magnitude of what he was witnessing was almost too much to bear. “Who... what are you?” Gregory’s voice cracked, his words heavy with confusion and fear.The figure didn’t immediately respond, its glowing eyes scanning the horizon as if expecting something no

  • Chapter 238: The Shadow Strikes

    The air grew thick with an unnatural stillness. The sudden appearance of the second figure sent chills down Gregory’s spine. This new being, even darker than the first, moved with a predatory grace, its eyes fixed solely on him. The woman beside him stepped back, her face now drained of all color.“You’re not safe,” she whispered, her voice trembling with fear. “None of us are.”Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest. His mind raced as he tried to piece together what was happening. The first figure had vanished into the sky, but this one, this new darker presence was far more terrifying.Its movements were fluid, like a predator stalking its prey, and its glowing eyes seemed to pierce through the darkness itself.Gregory instinctively stepped back, but his legs felt like lead. His muscles refused to obey him. It was as though the very air around him had turned to stone. The woman reached for him, her hand trembling. “You need to run,” she urged urgently. “Now.”But Gregory couldn’t. Hi

  • Chapter 237: The Beast Awakens

    The ground shook with each heavy footstep the massive figure took. Gregory’s mind reeled as he tried to process what he was seeing. This wasn’t just some person, it was something monstrous. It towered over the clearing like a giant, its silhouette monstrous and unnatural.The woman, who had been so confident just moments before, now stood frozen, her eyes wide with disbelief. “It’s impossible...” she whispered, barely audible.The soldiers around her backed away instinctively, their weapons aimed at the towering figure. They looked like ants in the face of a beast. And Gregory, despite his many brushes with death, felt a primal fear crawl up his spine.The figure moved closer, its broad shoulders blocking the last remnants of moonlight as it stepped into the clearing. Gregory could see now, its body was covered in dark, sleek armor, gleaming in the dim light. The massive form looked like something out of a nightmare, a creature built for destruction.But there was something else. Some

  • Chapter 236: The Tipping Point

    Gregory’s heart slammed against his ribs as the masked figure’s gun glinted menacingly in the dim light. The clearing around him was eerily quiet, save for the faint rustling of leaves stirred by the wind.The helicopters were still circling overhead, their shadows flickering across the forest floor like dark specters.“You don’t have to do this,” Gregory said, his voice hoarse from the smoke. He took a step back, assessing the figure in front of him. The gun was aimed at his chest, and the mask concealed any hint of emotion. Whoever this person was, they were cold calculating.“I’m not the one making the decisions,” the masked figure replied, their tone devoid of any human warmth.“But I’m the one who’s going to bring you in.”Gregory’s mind raced. There was no time to reason with this person. His instincts screamed at him to run, but every exit he tried to calculate was blocked by the weight of the helicopter blades above and the menacing figure before him. “Why? Why me?” Gregory de
