The dim light of the secluded room flickered faintly as Max Vale—now on the cusp of his transformation into the legendary Max Bladeheart—sat rigid on the aged leather couch. Across from him, Miss Raelyn’s sharp gaze scanned the data hovering in midair, projecting a cascade of images and figures that burned with icy clarity in the sterile darkness. “Have you managed to pinpoint the location?” Max asked, voice low but edged with urgency, every muscle tense beneath his calm exterior. Miss Raelyn, poised and unflinching, nodded. “Yes. And I’ve uncovered much more than we anticipated.” Her fingers danced over the sleek rectangular device, sending ripples through the air. A holographic projection sprang to life—a face masked partially by a half-green veil that obscured the right side, the eyes cold and calculating. Max’s breath caught. The unmistakable features of Edan—the first of the captors.

Chapter 74 – Echoes of the Unseen Race
. Chapter 74 – Echoes of the Unseen Race Max Vale’s sharp gaze narrowed as he tracked Angy’s figure cutting through the dense forest. Then a strange thing happened—her eyes closed, serene and unwavering, yet her body moved with an uncanny precision, dodging every tree trunk, every jutting branch, as if guided by some invisible force. What the hell...? Max’s brow furrowed with suspicion and fascination. There was something primal, something beyond the ordinary, stirring within her. Suddenly, Angy’s eyelids snapped open, a fierce light igniting in her irises. A subtle but unmistakable shift began—right from the center of her forehead, another slender, sharp horn emerged. She already bore two, symbols of her Xeon bloodline, but now a third sprouted, twisting upward with a silvery sheen that shimmered faintly in the dim forest light. The atmosphere thickened, the air vibrating with a sudden surge of arcane energy

Chapter 73 – The Gauntlet of SpeedMax Vale’s cold eyes flickered with an unreadable glint as he turned sharply on his heel. “I wanted to give you a chance, but if you’re set on walking away, then fine. Goodbye.” His voice was sharp, slicing through the tense air like a blade.Angy’s breath hitched. “Wait—when did I say I was leaving?” Panic colored her words as she lunged forward, fingers grasping for the retreating figure.Max halted, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. “I thought you said you wanted out?” His tone held a trace of disbelief, but also a hard edge. The space between them felt charged, crackling like an invisible electric current.“No,” Angy breathed, desperation tightening her throat. “Please… just give me a shot.”Max’s lips twitched into a half-smirk, amusement flickering beneath his stoic mask. He studied her like a predator weighing its prey, seeing the raw determination flickering beneath her pleading eyes.
Chapter 71 – The Hunt Begins
Chapter 71 – The Hunt BeginsDawn cracked open over BB City, spilling a pale light that filtered through cracked windows and stretched across the city streets. Max Vale stirred awake at his usual hour, the cold bite of reality pressing against the edges of his mind. The events from the previous day—those shadowed, brutal moments—still clung to him like a second skin, but Miss Raelyn’s quiet assurance offered a fragile balm to his fraying nerves.Even so, the lingering fear didn’t paralyze him. Last night, despite knowing that the mixed Xeon Users who haunted the alleys were unlikely to appear, Max had made his rounds as usual. The streetlamps cast their weak, yellow glow over the empty blocks as he moved through the city’s veins, eyes sharp, senses stretched taut like the string of a bow ready to unleash. Nothing came—not a single shadow stirred—but that only hardened his resolve.Now, fully dressed and packed, Max slipped out the door, meeting Cedric at t

Chapter 69 – The Mindveil Gambit
Chapter 69 – The Mindveil Gambit Max blinked rapidly, masking his surprise the moment the Xeon System whispered a subtle alert in his mind. His expression remained unreadable, but inside, a storm raged. Whatever that brain-augmenting device was, it had failed to dominate him—but it had come close. With deliberate slowness, Max dropped his gaze and slackened his posture. He let his body go limp, eyes glossing over with a vacant haze as he faked mental compromise. A perfect puppet. If they wanted a controlled subject, he'd give them one. But it would be on his terms. He fed them just enough to satisfy their hunger. The details he shared matched those whispered by the locals—nothing too contradictory. He even layered in richer, vivid descriptions, speaking of violet lightning searing across the sky, erupting from the mountainside after the fallen star had struck. The purplish arcs, he said, etched glowing scars into the cliffs
Chapter 68 – The Crimson Chair
Chapter 68 – The Crimson ChairBOOM.The wall exploded outward in a spray of shattered plaster and steel wiring as Edan’s skull made violent contact with it. Concrete fragments ricocheted across the dimly lit corridor like shrapnel from a bomb, the air filling with choking dust and the metallic sting of blood.Miss Raelyn’s fingers were still tangled in Edan’s matted hair, a tight grip that showed no mercy, only intent. Her expression was blank—haunted, even—as though she wasn’t entirely present. Only a single goal burned in her gaze: pain.She spun, dragging his barely-conscious body behind her like a ragdoll. Another wall. Another eruption.CRASH.Stone and metal gave way as Edan’s face slammed into it, shattering a support beam with a thunderous groan. The entire wing trembled from the force of her wrath. The structure was no match for her fury—or her power.But her rage was not satisfied. Not even close.Swo
