"Seize the traffic!" Betty Sargent commanded through the call, the entire city was seized with no single vehicle on the road being an obstacle for them.
The second daughter Liliana made a call to the international hospital, "I want the top most skilled doctors to be arranged in your hospital within a few minutes, if not be ready to face my wrath!" Her warning made the party on the other side to shiver in fear and make the arrangements just as Liliana wanted. Within no time they reached Skylands elite hospital. Looking at the emblem of the Sargent family on the sleek black cars, the special entrance was opened, through the special entrance without any hindrance of buzzing patients and hospital, all of them got inside along with Christian Top most doctors are standing with their trembling bodies, as the Sargent family's power is well known and their mere presence is enough to make people terrified. Lord Sargent entered inside first, his commanding presence silencing the whispers among the staff. As the stretcher was pushed forward, they noticed Christian, his bruised and malnourished body is a stark contrast to the grandeur surrounding him. Behind Lord Sargent, his both daughters followed, they had a mixed expression of anger and pain as they glanced at their nephew. "My nephew needs the immediate treatment," Betty demanded, just as the words left from her mouth, the senior most doctors rushed towards Christian almost immediately. Bowing respectfully, one of them stammered, "this way my lady!" Christian was carefully wheeled into a private ward. The team of doctors and specialists didn't wait for any further instructions, they jumped straight into action, examining his condition thoroughly. Lord Sargent stood outside the room, masking his face with calmness, though his hands trembled slightly as he gripped his cane. His daughters stood around him, their expressions a mixture of anger, grief, and helplessness. After a tiresome examination, the lead doctor approached Lord Sargent and his daughters with a clipboard in his hand. He glanced nervously at Lord Sargent before speaking. "My Lord, young master's condition is critical but stable. However, his injuries..." The doctor hesitated, clearly uneasy about delivering the news after knowing that Christian is the grandson of Lord Sargent. "Speak freely," Lord Sargent commanded, with a cold voice, "I want to know everything about my grandson's situation." The doctor swallowed hard. "His injuries are quite serious but not all those are from recent events. He has sustained long-term physical trauma, indicating prolonged abuse. Additionally, he is severely malnourished, which has further weakened his body, this level of neglect and abuse is unimaginable, I don't know how that young boy tolerated all this!" A heavy silence filled over the room as the doctor ended his words. Liliana's hand flew to her mouth, tears spilling over as she turned away. Betty clenched her fists so tightly that even a rock would turn into powder with that grip. "Those bastards..." Betty growled under her breath. "Monsters," Lilliana whispered, her voice trembling. "How could they do this to him?" The doctor was almost on the verge of passing out in nervousness but made sure to inform the most important news. "My Lord," he began, "we've discovered that the young master has an extremely rare blood type, one that is unique to your family lineage." Clenching his fist, Lord Sargent turned to his butler with a calm voice, yet carrying the weight of an invisible command. "Take a strand of his hair, we will conduct a DNA test to confirm his lineage, and I want the result to be out as soon as possible within a few minutes." The butler nodded immediately, producing a small envelope to gently gather a few strands of Christian's hair. "I don't need a test to confirm that, this boy is my grandson," Lord Sargent muttered under his breath, fixing his gaze at Christian's pale, and bruised face. "His face, his rare blood group, everything screams that he is my Marie's son and my precious grandson, a gift from my daughter, but for those who might dare question it, a test might shut their mouths without further arguments." Taking the envelope, the butler left from there immediately, the doctor also went right behind him. Lord Sargent and his daughters are extremely angry at that moment, just then they heard a small cry. "No... don't," Christian mumbled in his sleep, with a weak voice, filled with extreme fear. "I didn't do anything... I'm innocent... please don't hurt me, no.... I'm innocent." Lord Sargent's heart clenched as heard the desperation in Christian's voice, "My boy," he whispered softly, leaning closer to the bed "It's okay, you're safe now, under my watch, none can hurt you." But Christian's cries only grew louder as the nightmare tightened its grip on him. Tears slid down his bruised cheeks, his voice breaking as he continued to sob, "Mom, don't leave me. Please... I have no one but you, don't leave me alone, I can't live without you, no one loves me apart from you." Lord Sargent felt as if his heart had shattered into a million pieces hearing to Christian's crying voice. He reached out, gently brushing Christian's soft hair back from his forehead. "It's okay, my dear, you're not alone anymore," he promised with an extremely gentle voice, "I'm here. Grandpa is here, I won't leave you alone, I'll always be with you." The sight of Christian's agony brought back a flood of memories. Lord Sargent could almost see Marie as a young girl, and her bright smile lighting up his world. He remembered her laughter, and her soft voice calling him "Dad." Now, her son was lying here, broken and alone, carrying the scars of unspeakable pain, desperate for someone's love, as if he is scared of getting abandoned, for some reason, he felt deeply attached and connected to Christian, though it's their first time meeting each other. While Lord Sargent is so busy in consoling his grandson, the butler burst into the room, clutching an envelope with DNA result in his hand. His face was flushed with excitement and eyes were almost teary as he approached Lord Sargent. "My Lord," he called out with a voice sounding almost like a cry out of happiness, "The results came positive, this young boy is indeed your biological grandson! He... he is our young lady Marie's son!" Lord Sargent was silent for a minute, and his eyes went wide as he took the envelope from the butler's trembling hands. Slowly, he opened it, his own hands shaking as he proceeded to read it, the words on the paper confirmed what his heart already knew, and the emotional bond he felt in between him and Christian isn't a false hope, but a bond out of blood. A sob escaped from his lips as a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks. "Oh, my heavens!" he whispered, clutching the test results tightly. "I've found him, after all these years, I've found someone connected to my precious daughter, and this little one, is my precious grandson." He turned back to Christian, his expression immediately softened as he gently ruffled Christian's hair, "You're my precious grandson," he said, with a voice both emotional and enlightened. "Grandpa is here now, you'll never be alone again." Shifting his concentration from Christian to the butler, he commanded with happiness, "Announce to the world that, we found the heir of the Sargent family!"Latest Chapter
I WAS ALWAYS PART OF THIS
"Umm..." Georgia’s expression changed slightly, as if pain, sympathy, something heavier, all together came at a time."There were five," she said softly.Christian’s gaze shifted toward her immediately remembering the term he heard in between all these illusions. "The Original Five." Georgia nodded slowly."Yes." Something inside Christian immediately connected pieces together before she even continued.His voice lowered slightly as he knew the only time she hesitates when it's connected to him. "By any chance are you talking about my family?" Georgia closed her eyes briefly before answering."Yes." Christian’s breathing slowed, "My uncles..."Another nod."My aunts," he added quietly."Yes.""Are you sure?" Georgia’s voice became softer and calmer, "Yes... I've been hearing this since I was young and I'm sure about it." Silence crashed heavily between them, because suddenly, things made sense.The unnatural intelligence, the strange emotional complexity surrounding the Sargent
CHILDREN?
"What's with that expression of yours?" Christian asked quietly through the lower sanctum tunnel as he walked beside Georgia beneath endless layers of blackened steel corridors and fractured ritual walls.The glowing map extracted from the relic still hovering faintly before them while the deeper pathways toward the hidden laboratory stretched endlessly beneath the Dark Mountains like veins leading toward the heart of something rotten.Georgia shook her head calmly though unease filled expression is still there on her face, "nothing!""You’re hiding something from me again."Christian raised an eyebrow as his suspicion towards her didn't gone yet.Georgia’s steps slowed almost imperceptibly, not enough for someone ordinary to notice, but Christian noticed.He always did, especially now.... Especially after everything that had happened inside the sanctum.Ezra floated several feet ahead of them in silence, unusually restrained for once as his spectral gaze continuously scanned the surr
YOU WON'T LOOSE ANYONE HERE AFTER AGAIN
"The deepest laboratory…."Ezra’s voice lowered sharply after looking at what was projected before him, the usual carelessness that constantly lingered around him disappearing almost instantly as his calm eyes remained fixed on the glowing map suspended above the ruined sanctum floor, while beside him, even Georgia’s breathing seemed to still for a brief moment under the unbearable weight of what they were witnessing.Mary’s projection continued."The Veilborn could not fully destroy the relic because its existence became bound to the gate itself. So they turned instead toward convergence research…" Her gaze lowered slightly. "and toward me." Christian’s breathing slowed, something cold settled gradually inside him.Not fear or confusion but resolve.Yet beneath that growing resolve, there was pain.A deep, suffocating kind of pain he had been suppressing ever since this journey began.Because until this moment, despite all the clues, despite the fragments, despite the path Mary her
RESPONDING
"If you value your life, you should retreat now." Christian’s voice echoed through the shattered relic chamber with a terrifying calmness that felt far more dangerous than rage as silver-crimson energy continued surging violently around himThe completed amulet beneath his coat pulsing in direct resonance with the Veil Dominion Relic floating above the fractured sanctum platform while the bodies of fallen Veilborn elites lay scattered across the ruined floor.The remaining Veilborn forces froze instinctively.Not because of the words themselves, but because of the man standing before them.Moments earlier, Christian had still looked human.Now, something about him had changed.Not corrupted or monstrous, but worse and focused.The Veilborn leader slowly straightened from the edge of the fight, his silver-black mask partially cracked from their earlier clash while dark bloodline energy continued spiraling around his hands.Even he... Even someone clearly accustomed to violence and anc
YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LIAR
"You’re unusually quiet all of a sudden... Is everything okay?" Georgia’s voice echoed softly through the dim inner sanctum corridor as she walked beside Christian beneath huge black-silver walls engraved with ancient Veilborn inscriptions, their surfaces pulsing faintly with dormant crimson energy while the deeper chambers ahead radiated increasingly violent relic resonance.Christian did not answer immediately.His sharp gaze remained fixed ahead, calm yet noticeably heavier than before, while Mary’s blade rested loosely in his hand and the completed five-fragment key beneath his coat pulsed steadily against his chest like a second heartbeat.The deeper they moved into the sanctuary, the stronger it became.The relic, and its presence no longer felt distant... It felt mostly aware.After several minutes, Christian finally exhaled quietly. "I’m just thinking." Ezra, floating several feet ahead of them with far less laziness than usual, glanced back briefly."That," he remarked dryl
DON'T SOUND DISSAPOINTED
"Before you even think about stepping through that gate without a plan," Ezra said with a tone that tried to remain casual but carried an unmistakable sharpness beneath it as he hovered just slightly ahead of Christian and Georgia, his gaze fixed on the ancient layered inscriptions covering the inner threshold, "I would like to remind you that this is no longer a place where instinct alone will keep you both alive." Christian stood a step away from the gate, his posture steady, his expression composed, yet his eyes carried a deeper awareness now, something sharpened by everything they had already endured since entering the sanctum."I’m not relying on instinct... I've never done that," he replied calmly. "I’m relying on understanding what it wants."Georgia, who had been studying the inscriptions closely, let out a slow breath as her fingers hovered just inches above the ancient script without touching it, her brows furrowed in concentration."And what exactly do you think it wants?"
