Chapter 298
Claire did not let her twisted ankle stop her. She ignored the pain. She looked down the dark, snowy street. Her sharp eyes found the safest route through the falling debris.“Jin! Sera!” Claire commanded mentally. “The old subway entrance on the corner is locked! Open it!”Miles away in their safe hiding spot, Jin and Sera’s fingers flew across their glowing computer keyboards like lightning. They were perfectly synced with Claire's thoughts.“Hacking the city grid right now!” Jin thought back happily. “Opening the subway doors!”Down on the street, the heavy metal gates covering the subway stairs suddenly popped open with a loud CLANG. The door is open! Move the people! Sera cheered in the web.Navarro and Marcus did not wait for another instruction.“Follow us! Run to the stairs!” Marcus roared out loud to the terrified civilians.Marcus picked up two crying children, holding one under each massive arm. He sprinted toward the open subway doors. Navarro limped right behind him, wav
Chapter 297
The freezing winter wind roared through the broken streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Landon Hale stood in the deep, freezing snow. He stared out at the dark, icy waters of Lake Michigan.The sight in front of him was an absolute nightmare.The ancient monster, the Deep One, had fully awakened from its long sleep. A massive, terrifying shadow rose high out of the black water. It was bigger than the tallest glass skyscrapers in the elegant city. Giant, pitch-black tentacles covered in sharp ice thrashed wildly in the dark sky. The freezing water of the lake boiled and bubbled with toxic, dead-god magic.High above the city, standing on the very edge of a frozen skyscraper roof, was General Kade Rauth.General Rauth looked like an evil, dark god. His sleek, black armor glowed with pulsing purple light. He held the ancient, glowing black relic stone high into the snowy air. He was using the dark stone to control the giant sea monster."Do you see it, Landon Hale?!" General Rauth’s smooth,
Chapter 296
Kade and Marcus leaped through the broken windows. They had run across the city rooftops in record time, guided perfectly by the magic link.They fell through the freezing air and landed heavily on top of the rusted shipping crates right above the enemy soldiers.“Claire, duck!” Kade thought rapidly.Claire instantly dropped to her knees. She didn't even need to look behind her.Kade fired a heavy rocket from his shoulder launcher. FWOOSH!The rocket flew exactly one inch over Claire’s head. It sailed perfectly through the air and slammed directly into the center of the Iron Order squad.KABOOOOM! A massive explosion of bright orange fire blew five green troopers completely apart.The remaining fifteen troopers spun around in panic, aiming their guns up at Kade and Marcus.“Sera, Jin, turn off their eyes,” Claire thought brilliantly in the web.Miles away, Jin and Sera were already typing. They didn't need to hear the plan; they felt it forming in Claire's mind.“Hacking their helmet

Landon wrapped his massive, strong arms around her shoulders. He pulled her against his chest, resting his chin on the top of her dark hair. "I am right here," Landon promised, holding her tightly."I thought I would lose you... again," Claire whispered, crying into his coat. "Just like the vision in the vault. Just like every time you step in front of a bullet for me. I cannot take it anymore, Landon. I cannot pretend to be strong when you are hurting yourself to save me."Claire slowly pulled her head back. She looked deeply into Landon’s dark, tired eyes. Her tears caught the dim moonlight shining through the broken roof.She did not hide her feelings anymore. She did not use tactical, military words. She opened her heart completely."I cannot do this war without you," Claire whispered fiercely. "I love you, Landon. I love you so much."The freezing winter wind howled outside the warehouse. But inside Landon’s chest, it felt like a warm, bright sun had just exploded.Landon stopped
Chapter 294
Landon Hale and Claire Arden were trapped inside the tiny window-washing elevator. They were plummeting twenty stories straight down toward the busy, burning streets of Lagos, Nigeria. The thick steel cables had snapped completely. There was nothing holding them up. The boiling hot wind screamed violently in Landon’s ears."Hold on to me!" Landon roared.He wrapped his massive, muscular arms tightly around Claire. He pulled her small body against his broad chest. He turned his wide back toward the ground. He wanted to take the entire, brutal impact himself. He wanted to shield her from the crashing metal. If he died, he wanted her to live.The hard, paved street rushed up to meet them. Fifteen stories. Ten stories. Five stories. They had exactly one second left to live. But thousands of miles away, in a freezing, dark stairwell in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jin was fighting a war on her computer."I have control of the portal!" Jin screamed at the top of her lungs. Sweat poured down her
Chapter 293
The hot African wind whipped around them. The drop below was terrifying. Fifty stories of empty air separated them from the busy, noisy streets of Lagos.Landon saw the metal window-washing elevator cage hanging on the side of the building. It was only ten feet away.But there was a massive problem. The metal bridge connecting the balcony to the elevator cage had completely collapsed during the explosions. There was a ten-foot gap of empty air between the balcony and the safe metal cage."Landon, the bridge is gone," Claire whispered, looking down at the terrifying drop."I can jump it," Landon said confidently."Carrying me?" Claire asked, her eyes wide with fear. "If you miss, we both die."Landon looked deep into her dark, beautiful eyes."I will not miss," Landon promised.He backed up a few steps on the balcony to get a running start.Suddenly, a loud, heavy metallic crash echoed from the office behind them. CRASH!Landon spun around. The Hunter clone had found them. The evil, pa
