62. Not Your Savior..
Elias slowly raised his head, and for a moment, he couldn’t see anything clearly. The blinding white light from the jet’s landing lamps flashed straight into his eyes, illuminating the whole alley. Then one of the jets lowered itself closer and touched down with a heavy thud. After that, the engines slowly died down, then the side door opened. Moments later, a young lady stepped out dramatically, then paused at the edge of the ramp, staring through the whole arena. She wore a military uniform that fitted her prefectly, with a pair of dark shades. Her hair was pulled back neatly. She glanced through the arena again, then starres walking down the ramp. Behind her, soldiers poured out in groups with their Weapons raised. They spread out quickly, forming a loose circle with every gun pointed toward Elias and the henchman. Meanwhile, Elias still couldn’t make out who it was as the light from other roaring nearby jets was still shining right in his eyes. Vanessa stiffened beside Elias.
Chapter 61. A Strange Military Interferes
From nowhere, a voice drifted down from above, cutting through the tension. “Am I late to the party?” Elias smiled before he even looked up. Then he tilted his head slowly, lifting his gaze toward the rooftops, already knowing who it was. On one of the high rise buildings, at the edge of a broken stone was Vanessa. She was dressed head to toe in black, like a mercenary. Elias smirked. “You always show up when things get interesting.” Vanessa laughed softly, glancing down at the bodies scattered below. “You didn’t have to start without me,” she teased. “You’re having all the fun alone.” On seeing Vanessa, the remaining men stiffened in fear. At the same time, the henchman’s face drained of color the moment he recognized Vanessa. At first, his mind refused to accept it. He stared at her like she was a ghost and the more he stared, the more confused he got. What was more confusing was that she looked healthy, neither was she trapped as he had thought. At that moment, it dawned on
Chapter 60. Showtime
Elias and Vera had already exchanged enough glances and half-sentences to understand each other. However, the first henchman hadn’t caught up to that reality yet. He straightened, heaved his chest, his eyes burning with fury. “What do you think you’re doing?” he barked, his voice echoing through the alley. “Do you think this is a game? You’ve been talking like the world answers to you. Who the hell do you think you are? News flash, You’re surrounded, Crown Bearer. If I were you, I'd drop the theatrics and start begging.” A few of the onlookers nodded nervously, while others watched in silence, as the tension grew. But Elias didn’t raise his voice. “Yes,” he said calmly, almost lazily. “It will be a game.” He took one slow step forward. “A game where heads roll,” Elias continued, his eyes locking onto the henchman’s, “and where the floor is painted red with your blood and that of your men, unless you tell me who your boss is.” The alley went quiet. Suddenly, the henchman burst ou
59. Let The Main Party Begin
The first henchman’s face twisted in rage. “What the hell are you even saying?” he snapped, stepping forward, his voice booming across the alley. “You’re at the edge of death, Crown Bearer. That’s all this is. When people know they’re about to die, their minds start lying to them. You’re babbling nonsense.” A few people laughed nervously, but Elias didn’t flinch. Instead, he smiled. “You’re wrong,” he said calmly. “I’m perfectly clear headed.” The henchman scoffed. “Clear-headed?” He pointed at Elias. “You’re surrounded, outnumbered. And you think you—” Elias cut him off, his eyes sharpening. “You’re the crazy one,” he said, his voice sounding colder. “for thinking even for a second that you’re worthy of my head.” The words landed like a slap. Before the henchman could react, before the crowd could even gasp, Elias moved swiftly, that even the man holding the dagger to his neck barely felt it. One moment, Elias’s grip was tight, and in the next moment, he snapped his wrist in
58. Henchmen Of The Nightless City
Truth was, the real boss of the Nightless City, whom Elias was looking for, who had placed a bounty on his head wasn't there in the city. But he had a second in command, who spoke for him when he didn’t want to show himself. Meanwhile, the person who had blackmailed Vera and had forced her into making a deal to lure Elias to the Nightless City wasn’t acting alone as well. He was just a henchman who works for the second in command and has been trusted enough to carry out the dirty works. The moment the murmurs reached a certain pitch, the henchman stepped forward, lifted his hand sharply, and said. “Take him.” His men moved immediately, grabbing Elias from both sides. Elias… didn’t resist. On seeing this, Vera's breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened in shock. This wasn’t what she had expected. Vanessa had said a lot about Elias, about how brutal he was and how he never bends to any will, no matter how much they were. So when the men moved forward to grab him, She had ex
57. The Middle Of Nowhere
Elias was still taking in the shift around him, when a large figure suddenly stepped forward from between two stalls. The man was massive. He had broad shoulders stretching the fabric of his coat, his arms was thick with muscle and his presence alone pushed the smaller people aside. “Well done,” the man said, his voice deep and satisfied. “You brought him exactly where we wanted.” In that instant, everything made sense to Elias. All along, everything was nothing but a trap. However, Elias didn’t flinch. He didn’t feel tense either. He simply reached up and removed his mask, letting it drop to the ground between his feet. His face was calm, as he looked around at the people closing in. Then he turned to the girl. “You set me up,” he said quietly. Her knees almost buckled. “I’m sorry,” she blurted out, panicking. “Please forgive me. I didn’t want to do this. I swear I didn’t.” Elias watched her closely. “Then why did you do it?” Tears spilled down her cheeks. “They poisoned Van
