CHAPTER 318
“Take the shot,” Wraith hissed into his comms. “He’s exposed.”“Negative, Wraith,” Spectre replied. “Too much movement. They’re still stampeding. I can’t guarantee a clean kill without hitting a civilian.”“Same here,” Phantom added.Panicked patrons surged past the diner’s windows and exits, their bodies forming a chaotic, shifting screen. Any shot carried a high risk of collateral damage. Morality wasn’t the issue. Tactics were. Killing civilians drew law enforcement and specialized agencies—attention no one wanted.As long as people were running, none of them had a clear shot.Wraith watched in helpless fury as the target methodically finished his steak.Bite. Slow chew.Then cold eyes lifted toward the rooftop, sending a spike of dread straight into Wraith’s gut.You wasted your chance.The chaos finally ebbed as the last customers fled, leaving the diner in ruins, overturned chairs, spilled coffee, and shattered calm.By the time the line of sight cleared, Sean was done.He pla
CHAPTER 317
Sean crossed the street toward a local restaurant to get something to eat. He was done with what he had come for and felt no need to linger.Still, food was necessary. He was heading to the hospital to see his sister, and she would ask if he had eaten instead of just handling business on an empty stomach. The last thing he wanted was for her to scold him or worry when she had only just woken up.A quiet, unassuming diner is located a few blocks away. Sean headed for it.Warm air greeted him inside, carrying the faint scent of coffee and toasted bread, a stark contrast to the stale, bloody corridor he had just left behind. The small bell above the door jingled softly as he entered. Only a few patrons looked up before returning to their meals.A booth in the back corner caught his attention. It offered a clear view of both the entrance and the large window facing the street. Instinct dictated the choice. Always watch the exits. Always watch what’s coming.He slid into the seat and
CHAPTER 316
Sean stayed on the spot as soon as Evan was taken away. Glancing at the door, he simply tugged his phone into his pocket.The "lesson" was complete; there was no need to stay. His intention had been fulfilled, and now, he had to leave.His thoughts already moved past the dusty, forgotten room and onto his only priority: his sister. He needed to be at the hospital.Pulling his dark trench coat around himself, concealing his harness and the weapons strapped beneath—Sean moved toward the exit.Reaching the door, his hand closed around the cool metal of the handle. Even before the knob turned, his training registered the subtle shift in air pressure, the faint, unnatural sound of multiple men breathing.The presence of several people waiting outside was undeniable.Sean didn't flinch or retreat. He wasn't surprised; in his world, silence often meant a waiting threat.His sister called, and these men were now a predictable obstacle in his path.The door opened, and Sean stepped out into t
CHAPTER 315
Sean circled them slowly, letting the silence hang, letting their guilt sink in like lead.“Lesson three isn’t over yet. You will carry this with you—not because I tell you to, but because you experienced it firsthand. Every choice you made brought someone else to the edge of death. And now, you know exactly what that feels like.”“Now, with that understanding… we can move forward.” He finally stepped back. “And yes, the next lesson will decide what comes after comprehension. Lesson Four will teach you about choices—and the consequences that follow every single one.”The three of them sat slumped, chests heaving, faces wet with tears and sweat, their bodies exhausted but their minds trembling under the weight of Lesson Three.Sean looked over them, unimpressed. Their shaking, their tears, their broken breaths, none of it moved him anymore.“I thought Lesson Four would be interesting,” he said quietly. “But looking at you now… I’m bored.”Gig’s head snapped up weakly. “S‑Sean… please—

CHAPTER 313
Sean wasn’t ready to let them go. After all, they had put his sister through the same thing, and it was only fair for them to experience it as well.He checked his watch, unfazed by their suffering.“No one is dying here,” he added calmly. “I’m not a murderer. I’m going to be an educator. And you three desperately need education.”Gig’s breathing turned frantic, the gas burning at his lungs.Sink’s face reddened, tears mixing with sweat.Evan coughed until he nearly retched.Sean finally walked over to the valve. He didn’t turn it off. He only tapped it once, adjusting the flow, making the gas slightly heavier.Their bodies jerked in renewed panic.Sean watched them for a moment longer, then spoke with icy softness:“Lesson one isn’t about killing you. It’s about showing you what you put her through. And trust me… this is the mild version.”He stepped back into the shadows where they couldn’t see him, arms crossed, eyes locked on them as they struggled.“And we’re only getting started
