The doors of the royal study swung shut behind them. Standing in the antechamber was the royal Warlord, Commander Evans."The King has briefed me on the situation, General," Evans said in a low tone, turning his head toward Gabriel as they walked briskly toward the outer palace courtyard. "We have a car waiting at the western gate. The site of the dry well is situated deep in the forgotten orchards beyond the lower district wall.""Lead the way," Gabriel replied, As Gabriel left the courtyard, a car was waiting near the gate. Evans pointed to the front car, and Gabriel climbed into the back seat without a word.After a thirty-minute drive, the car slowed down and stopped in a wild farming area, where old apple orchards met the rocky edge of the northern hills."This is as far as the cars can go," Evans said, stepping out of the car. "The ground past the ridge is not safe because of old underground quarry tunnels."Gabriel stepped out of the car. The two men walked in silence for a qu

Whispers began to ripple through the front rows."Is that the god of war? Could it really be him?" a senior minister murmured, taking a step backwards."The God of War, he vanished from the capital three years ago," another officer whispered in sheer disbelief. "Why would he return here tonight?"Instead of the panic some had anticipated, a sudden wave of reverence swept over the crowd. Senior military commanders immediately straightened, bringing their right fists sharply across their chests in a respectful salute.At the far end of the grand ballroom, seated upon an elevated dais beneath a canopy of velvet and gold, King Alistair stood up from his throne. His expression, lined with the burdens of ruling the Solaria Kingdom, broke into a welcoming smile. He raised his hand, signalling the orchestra to lower their instruments and commanding the murmuring crowd to silence."My friends, do not be alarmed," King Alistair spoke, his voice resonating across the hall. "Tonight is an anniver

The steady beeping of the life support monitors echoed softly.Gabriel stood near the medical bed, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed on Zane Mitchell’s lifeless face. Translucent plastic tubes snaked across the old man’s nose and throat, delivering oxygen while intravenous lines pumped neutral saline solution directly into his veins in an attempt to dilute the spreading venom.The double doors of the ICU swung open, and the chief surgeon stepped inside, accompanied by a bandaged Zax sitting in his wheelchair. The doctor held a digital clipboard, his brow furrowed with deep concern as he reviewed the latest blood gas analysis."Mr. Gabriel," the doctor said quietly, his voice tight with gravity. "We are losing ground. His liver and kidney functions dropped by fifteen per cent over the last three hours. The synthetic neurotoxin is binding directly to his organ tissue at a cellular level."Zax gripped his wheelchair, his voice soft as he looked up. "Is there no agent in you
Chapter 106
Clement Nicolas was cold as his eyes were fixed on his phone, his jaw tightened, and his fist clenched at his side.For ten years, the underworld of Ironport had bowed at his feet. A single phone call from Clement could freeze shipping lanes, silence politicians, or order the execution of corporate rivals. Now, stripped of his bank, his assets frozen, and his name plastered across every federal warrant list in the nation, he was crawling through the underground sewers like a hunted rat.Ahead, the tunnel opened into an abandoned underground maintenance chamber. A long table was surrounded by four men playing cards and sipping cheap liquor. Standing near the entrance were three armed guards holding modified submachine guns.These were what was left of Ironport's black-market smuggling group, middle-ranking smugglers who had once begged Clement for extra dock permits."Who goes there?" a guard barked, levelling his weapon directly at the shadows.

Several questions battered his mind.Why would an elite team from Solaria travel thousands of miles across borders to execute Zane Mitchell in a provincial city like Ironport? Had Zane been dealing with high-level factions inside the kingdom behind everyone's back? What secret could his father possibly hold that warranted a lethal purge by the royal shadow council?Slipping the bag into his inner coat pocket, Gabriel turned away and walked down the recovery wing toward Room 408.The private room was lit; Zax sat upright in a wheelchair parked near the window, his chest wrapped tight in white gauze bandage rolls. His face was pale, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion, but he remained alert, his posture rigid despite his severe injuries."Gabriel," Zax greeted softly, "I heard from the nursing staff that you brought us here yourself. Thank you for keeping us alive."Gabriel didn't take the chair. He stood near the foot of the bed, leaning his arm against the raised bedrail, his eyes lock

Silence stretched over the phone line as Gabriel held it against his ear. On the other end, the sound of Zane Mitchell's breathing filtered through the static, yet it was burdened with an undeniable weight. Gabriel stared at Andrew for a moment, every instinct forged over years of conflict urging him to sever the connection. He despised the man on the other end. For fifteen years, the unanswered questions, the betrayal, and the cold shadow of Zane's ambition had lingered over his life like an unyielding curse. Yet, beneath the anger, a stubborn need for the truth remained. "I'm coming," Gabriel said, his voice flat and unyielding. "Give me thirty minutes." He ended the call before Zane could respond. Gathering his coat, Gabriel stepped out, leaving Andrew to monitor the local channels. He took his car, navigating the winding roads that led up toward the northern hills where Zane’s estate sat hidden. As Gabriel swung the car around the final bend leading to the main entrance, his
