HIDDEN SPY
It took Alvin another thirty minutes to treat them and eliminate the slave-seeking worms and tracking hexes in their bodies, each extraction a small war fought beneath skin and soul. The older girl would need many sessions to fully recover. Worse, they got her addicted to a substance, forcing her to return for it. A leash made of cunning and cruelty. He began by cleansing her body to lower aftereffects and withdrawal syndromes. She would still suffer, of course. But when the tendency came, clawing at her veins, the drug Alvin left in her body would force her to sleep it off, dragging her under before she could scream. Alvin looked back at the snow-capped mountains, seemingly ordinary, innocent. There were concealment wards around it, alongside beast-repelling herbs. The place was literally an inconspicuous fortress, a secret wrapped in winter. The cave still had levels below. Levels which Alvin didn’t dare expose to them…not yet. “So long now, two witches. Let’s see how you duke
Locked away
By the time the girls came out, Alvin already had soups laid out on the kitchen island, steaming, the scent of warmth cutting through the cold that clung to their bones. Then porridge and small quantities of veggies and meat, arranged with care. They had just come out of captivity, and eating foods that were too heavy wasn’t advisable. They remained fragile, their stomachs still remembering starvation. “Come have some soup. Then I will check on your health for possible poison and injury.” The girls stayed still, watching him, wary as cornered animals. “Hurry. I have places to be. I can’t stay all the way here.” He picked a small plate and dished a little soup into it, then pulled out a straw. He adjusted the straw, fitting it into his helmet, noticing them straining to see his real face. Perfect spies indeed. Eyes hungry for secrets and identity. He sipped the soup till the plate was empty, the sound amplified in the quiet. “See, the food is edible and safe. Do you have any al
Snow capped safe house
The space capsule landed Alvin and the girls in the middle of an ice wasteland. It was totally capped by ice and snow, with only mountains and jagged rocks visible…a world of white silence, where even the wind seemed afraid to speak. The hatch opened with a hiss, and Alvin stepped down, carrying the smaller of the two girls, the older one behind him, hunched over with her hand on her belly, every breath a battle. “Where’s this place?” she asked, eyes moving around, suspicion and wonder warring in them. Alvin grinned wickedly beneath the mask, though only his eyes showed it. “Somewhere that’s safe, protected, and impossible to trace.” The older girl’s brows furrowed, and she looked at the smaller girl, their eyes meeting, a secret understanding passing between them. “Impossible to trace?” She turned to him, eyes going dark, like a light was dimmed in them, like hope had been snuffed out one too many times. “So this was the perfect place you found for us to…die?” Alvin rol
salvation even for a traitor
Alvin’s mind worked fast, doing a quick evaluation, thoughts snapping together like blades. The grandmaster was wearing a concealment artefact to hide his true cultivation, probably the black cloak draped around his shoulders, drinking in light and truth. There was also no telling how many sick tricks and trump cards he had in his hands. It was better to end things early than to drag it out into an exhausting tug of war, a dance with death that bled minutes he didn’t have. Wasting time would only complicate matters. Most importantly, Aurelio was still home, waiting for him to return, his small face pressed to the window, trusting. The grandmaster’s gaze sharpened beneath the cloak, two coals of malice flaring. “Oh? You’re indeed formidable. Even better. A puppet made from you must be insanely powerful.” Alvin chuckled and disappeared from the spot, escaping from the devious sneak attack the grandmaster had sent, a thread of corrosive qi slicing where his throat had been a heartb
fighting the demonic grandmaster
Alvin stopped beside the girl. She was breathing heavily, a trace of blood by the side of her lips. Eyes defiant but broken — a contradiction that tore at something deep in his chest. He stopped beside her and pulled her outside, away from the others, away from their hate. When they got to a secluded area, he exhaled and looked at her. “Wait here. I will hurry inside and check a few things. I will be back to send you to safety in a short while.” The girl chuckled. A sarcastic, grating sound that went straight to the brain, like nails on bone. Alvin paused, briefly turning to check on her. “You want to bring me to safety? Ridiculous. You should worry about staying alive first.” “I will definitely return,” Alvin snapped back, his voice hard as tempered steel, “and rescue you. Even from yourself.” Something in the girl’s eyes shifted, a crack in the void, and she fisted a handful of her ragged clothes, face drawn into a wince, her groan hanging somewhere around her neck and nev
ESCAPE
Alvin could feel the children’s resentful gazes, and the fear festering around them…thick, acrid, contagious. “Stay still. I won’t let anyone harm you.” His voice was low, iron-clad, a promise forged in blood. With a slight move of his hands, a circle appeared around the kids, barriers of defensive light rising above them like tides called by the moon. He flicked his fingers again, and reinforced shields followed, circling the kids, ready to reflect the attacks, ready to bleed for them if they had to. Inside the barrier, a boy hissed, full of anger, his voice cracking. “Why’s she inside here too? She will just endanger the others.” The girl gave him the side eye but kept silent, her face a blank wall. The rich girl dragged in a shaky breath, face contorting, feeling incredibly wronged. Someone compromised their safety, yet wasn’t kicked out. It sat in her throat like glass. A sixteen-year-old boy pointed at the traitor, his finger shaking. “I’ve got my eyes on you. If you t
