Chapter 235: The Inferno
Gregory’s vision swam as he struggled to regain his bearings. The explosion had thrown him back with such force that his body felt like it had been set aflame. The air around him was thick with smoke, stinging his eyes and choking his lungs.His head throbbed painfully, and for a moment, he couldn’t remember where he was or how he’d ended up here He groaned, pushing himself up from the dirt, his hands trembling. The forest around him was eerily quiet, save for the distant wail of sirens.The helicopters were still overhead, their lights cutting through the haze like predatory eyes. Gregory blinked, trying to clear the fog in his mind. Where was the woman? And where were Ethan and Leon?He had to find them. There was no time to waste, Shaking the daze from his head, Gregory forced himself to his feet. He stumbled forward, each step feeling like a battle. His legs were unsteady beneath him, and his vision was still blurry, but he couldn’t afford to stop.The explosion had thrown everyth
Chapter 234: The Ultimate Showdown
The woman’s gaze was as cold as steel, her figure encased in dark, high-tech armor that gleamed in the flash of helicopter spotlights above. The weapon in her hands hummed with power, its barrel pulsing with an ominous light.She had no intention of negotiating, this was no warning shot. This was a declaration of war.“Move!” Gregory shouted, pushing Leon and Ethan to the ground as he dove into the underbrush, narrowly avoiding a deadly beam from the woman’s weapon.The blast scorched the ground where they had been standing moments before, sending up a cloud of smoke and dirt. The force of the blast staggered Gregory, but he regained his balance just in time to see the woman stride forward, her boots crushing the earth beneath her with each step. She was relentless.He needed to think fast. There was no way they would survive if they stayed in the open. With helicopters in the sky and enemies on the ground, their options were rapidly dwindling.“Get to cover!” Gregory barked, scrambli
Chapter 233: A Twist of Fate
Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest as the masked figure in tactical gear raised the weapon, his finger tightening on the trigger. Everything slowed to a crawl and in that split second Gregory’s mind raced with possibilities, with outcomes, with the question of how far he was willing to go to protect Leon and Ethan and himself.He couldn’t afford hesitation now. “Move!” Gregory barked, shoving Leon and Ethan to the ground and diving to the side. The gunshot echoed in the dense forest, and the air was split by the sharp crack of the bullet tearing through the trees.Gregory’s body hit the ground, and he quickly scrambled to his feet, his eyes darting to assess the situation. The man was moving toward them, each step deliberate, each movement calculated. He was no ordinary soldier. Whoever he was, he was prepared for a long fight.But Gregory had the advantage of desperation, and that was something no soldier could prepare for.“Stay low!” Gregory shouted to Ethan and Leon, his voice
Chapter 232: Into the Fire
The helicopters hovered above them, their searchlights sweeping the forest in rhythmic patterns. The sound of blades cutting through the air was deafening.Gregory’s eyes darted around, looking for cover, but the dense trees were quickly becoming engulfed in flames. “What’s happening?” Leon asked, his voice shaking. “Who are they? Why are they trying to kill us?”Gregory’s mind raced. He’d thought he had a grasp on the situation, but now he was more certain than ever that the forces aligned against him were far more powerful than he could have ever imagined.They weren’t just after him, they were after the truth. And the truth, it seemed, was far more dangerous than he had ever realized.“They’re after the heir,” Gregory muttered, gripping the hilt of his knife. “They’ve been watching me for years, waiting for me to unlock the truth. Now that I know, they’ll stop at nothing to keep me from exposing it.”Ethan grunted, pulling himself to his feet despite the obvious pain in his shoulde
Chapter 231: The Hidden Heir
Leon looked around nervously, as though expecting someone to appear out of the shadows at any moment. “Because… because the truth is dangerous. Marcus knew that if both of you were ever to meet, the world as he built it would crumble.”Gregory turned the photograph over, searching for any clue, any indication of who this boy might have been. There were no names, no markings, just the image of two children and Marcus, smiling “Do you have any more information?”Gregory asked, his voice low, his tone sharp, Leon hesitated, glancing back towards the dense woods before meeting Gregory’s gaze again. “I know where he is.”Elsewhere – High-Rise Office In a sleek, modern office far from the forest, a man sat in front of a polished desk. His face was obscured by shadows, but his voice was unmistakable “He’s getting closer,” the man said, his voice cold and measured. “The boy… the real heir. It’s time.”He tapped a button on his desk, and the room lit up with multiple screens showing various fe
Chapter 230: Gladius Protocol
Gregory’s hands shook as the video continued. “There’s a reason I didn’t come for you sooner. If I had, you’d have grown soft. Entitled. Like the rest of them.” Marcus sneered. “Instead, I let the world beat you into something sharper.”The video ended abruptly, Gregory sat frozen. Cold sweat trickled down his spine. Midnight Meeting – Unknown Coordinates Across the city, in a fortified boardroom hidden beneath a fake foundation, a group of men and women sat in a circle.Each wore an insignia: a gladius sword embedded in a hawk’s talon. “The Protocol has been triggered,” one said. “Subject Hawk is awake.”Another slammed a fist on the table. “He must not be allowed to ascend.”A third leaned forward, adjusting her earpiece. “Too late. The blood unlocked the file. The test begins now.”Back in the Forest Gregory closed the laptop slowly. “We need to move.”Ethan groaned, struggling to his feet. “Can’t we rest an hour?”“No time. If this is real, then every step I’ve taken has been part
