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

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
Chapter 292
The emergency stairwell inside the massive Aether Dominion skyscraper in Lagos was incredibly hot and dark.Landon Hale held Claire Arden tightly against his broad chest. His strong right arm was wrapped securely around her waist to support her weight. Claire’s twisted ankle throbbed with sharp pain every single time her boot bumped the concrete steps. She leaned heavily against his side.The building groaned loudly again. KRRRREEEEK!The floor slanted sharply to the left. The entire skyscraper was slowly tipping over."We cannot use these stairs," Landon growled, his deep voice echoing in the dark shaft. "The concrete is cracking. If the stairs collapse, we will fall fifty stories."Landon kicked the heavy metal door to the forty-ninth floor open. BANG!He stepped out into a massive, wide-open corporate office. The room was completely destroyed. The ceiling tiles had fallen. The expensive glass desks were shattered. But the most terrifying part was the view.The entire front wall o

Landon looked down at her. His dark eyes were filled with fierce, hot tears. "I am never leaving you, Claire," Landon said. His deep voice trembled with pure, overwhelming emotion. "Never.""You have to save the world, Landon," Claire cried softly. A tear rolled through the dirt on her cheek. "Please. Just go.""You are my world, Claire," Landon whispered fiercely.Those words hit Landon’s heart like a massive bolt of lightning.The powerful, raw emotion inside his chest suddenly acted like a giant match. It ignited the glowing white pool of Kinetic Echo magic deep inside his soul.He didn't just feel the magic in his blood. He felt it burning brightly inside his heart.Landon closed his eyes. He stopped trying to use just his physical muscles.He opened the invisible doorway in his mind. He pulled the beautiful, bright white magic of the War Resonance deeply into his own bones.He did not want to push the magic outward to hurt an enemy. He wanted to use the magic to protect the woman
