“What is it, Sir?” Joe approached Victor.

For a while now, he had been observing his superior's behavior and noticed something strange about him, he kept turning his gaze elsewhere sharply, but said nothing at all to give an order.

Victor, who was still near Derek and Fae, did not speak right away. He raised his hand, signaling for Joe to be quiet and wait for him while he escorted Derek back to his room.

“Is something wrong, Victor?” Derek, who was being helped to transfer to his bed by Victor

  • Gun shoot

    The single gunshot blast that broke the silence of the control room did not claim Derek's life, but instead struck David's leg squarely, causing the bespectacled young man to scream in pain while still maintaining his position.“Argh... damn it!” David screamed hysterically while glancing at his calf, which was bleeding heavily from the sudden bullet strike.Derek, shocked, looked toward him in stunned silence; he stared at David in wonder, because even in a state like that, the man still maintained his position holding and restraining the black-robed man so he couldn't break free.“Him?” he muttered softly, realizing that David was indeed no ordinary civilian.Seeing him endure that pain, it was clear he was a trained individual. He knew what he was doing and could control his situation, and disappointing a person like David was a stupid move that the man had made, because from this situation Derek could conclude that a person like David could be loyal or turn around and attack depen

  • The track

    “We have to be fast,” Fae said to Victor, who was driving beside her.Fae's tears finally spilled so heavily, no longer able to be contained after a grip of chilling anxiety squeezed her chest all night long. With a hand trembling violently, she lifted her phone screen high before Victor, showing a digital navigation app with an interactive map displaying high-precision coordinate points.“Victor, look at this! The location point. Derek is still moving!” Fae cried out amid her stifled sobs, trying to shake off the remnants of panic that nearly robbed her of her sanity.She roughly wiped away the tears that were blurring her vision; she was anxious and panic-stricken, yet she tried to keep a cool head and take action.Gazing at the phone screen, Fae's memory suddenly drifted far back to a night some time ago, the night when she playfully gave that small earring with cutting-edge tracking technology to Derek. Initially, the idea was merely the instinctive impulse of a sibling wanting to

  • Empty bluffs

    “Stop!” David shouted in a loud voice that echoed throughout every corner of that narrow room, breaking the gripping silence that had locked everyone's breath in that place.Hearing that command, the mercenary guards who had previously prepared to lunge forward to pin down Derek's body abruptly halted their steps in unison. They turned with heads jerked in shock, their eyes widening wide as they witnessed a sight that had never once crossed their minds in their worst-case scenarios.Panic immediately struck those guards within a matter of seconds. A small commotion instantly erupted among their ranks, tossing panicked cries and repeated questions that showed extraordinary confusion.“Hey! David! What on earth are you doing, you idiot?!” shouted one large-bodied guard with a voice trembling violently, pointing toward the knife pressed against the boss's neck. “Are you crazy?! Why are you attacking the Boss instead?! Lower that knife right now before we all die!”They had not expected a

  • The knife on his throat

    “Great David!” The robed man's voice echoed through the room.A hint of a triumphant cheer radiated from behind the robed man's mask. Seeing David successfully break free from Derek's grasp using his remaining strength and cunning, the boss clapped softly in full appreciation. The sound of the clapping reverberated against the damp concrete walls of the control room, spreading a cold echo full of arrogance.“Very well, David! I knew you wouldn't be controlled that easily by a pathetic young man like him,” the robed man praised in a tone crafted to sound exceptionally warm and affectionate, attempting to pull back his trusted pawn who had nearly been compromised. “I expected it from the beginning; your skill and composure are far above average compared to the fools in this room.”David looked up, staring at his master with an expression very difficult to read, a complex mixture of feigned relief, lingering suppressed anger, and a disappointment that still churned in his chest. While wi

  • Bad situation

    “You are day-dreaming,” Derek replied in a cold voice that broke the silence of the room. He adamantly refused to be used as a tool or a stepping stone for those bastards to realize their foul ambitions.He shook his head at them. “You will never succeed in bringing about any destruction, I won't let you,” he growled, glaring fiercely at them.For half his life he had walked in ignorance, never knowing who his true identity and family were. However, now that he knew, Derek chose to stand tall with utmost courage and refuse to submit.Whatever terrifying risks he had to face at death's door, he steeled his resolve because he no longer wanted to limit his own bravery, just like when he risked his life in the past as a firefighter. He knew what risks he was facing.Without hesitating any longer, with one swift and calculated swing of his hand, Derek scratched the blade of the folding knife across David's neck.That small mark immediately tore the outer skin, instantly oozing fresh drops

  • The betrayal

    “Who are you?” Derek raised his chin, pointing toward the robed man.With a appearance where almost everything was covered, he could not see or recognize him at all, leaving his mind guessing, which enemy of his was this man? Could he be Jordan? Or perhaps someone else?The robed man slowly lowered both hands, then suddenly erupted into a crisp laugh that sounded deeply contemptuous. “Do you think I would tell you that?” the robed man hissed with a cynical gaze. “Of course not.”Even though his face was covered by a half-mask, that laugh and smile were utterly disturbing; just looking at it stirred rage, making one want to grab his head and smash it to make him stop wearing that mocking smile.Derek unconsciously frowned deeply, holding back the burning rage in his chest. That sudden contraction of facial muscles tugged at the laceration on his temple again, radiating a throbbing pain that struck sharper and sharper, momentarily turning his vision dazzlingly bright as if he were seein
