Chapter 303
Mira found out about Jace’s meeting with Michael through one of Gordon’s informants. She stood in the strategy room, the message tablet still glowing in her hand. Her jaw tightened as she read the report again, “This is f*cking unacceptable…” The door slid open and Jace walked in, unaware that she already knew. “You went behind my back.” Mira said without turning around. Jace stopped mid-step, his eyes widening slightly, “How did you-?” “You met him.” She cut in sharply and finally faced him, her crimson eyes faintly glowing. “You thought it was smart to approach Michael without telling me?” “I was trying to fix a problem.” Jace strained, “Fuel is running dry and soldiers are exhausted. Civilians are scared, Mira. We can’t keep pretending everything’s fine.” “That was not your call to make.” She snapped, “You offered a ceasefire! Seriously?” “I offered a conversation.” He corrected, “There’s a difference.” Her eyes burned brighter, “You even lied to him!” “I had to.” She la

“Jace wants to meet up right now?” Michael asked with a raised eyebrow as he read the message again on the screen. Barry scoffed loudly, “Is he insane? He knows I’ll kill him the next time I see him.” “That’s why you’re not going, it’ll be just me.” Michael grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and headed for the door like it was already decided. Barry’s eyes widened. “What? You’re crazy! It could be a trap.” “I think he’s way more sensible than pissing me off right now…” Michael replied calmly. “And besides, I’m not exactly the subdueable type.” “I’m coming too.” “So you can kill him before he gets a word out? Nope. You’re in charge here, I’ll see you.” Barry threw his hands in the air, “I can’t believe you’re wasting time and fuel on that idiot.” Michael smiled slightly, “Who said I’m wasting fuel?” Barry raised an eyebrow, confused.– The electric bicycle sprinted along the empty road with unnatural speed, the motor alone could not have pushed it that fast.

Chapter 301
Two weeks later. Terra felt heavier than usual. Fuel levels had dropped from concerning to critical, entire districts had reduced power consumption. Night patrols were shorter, training drills had been cut in half, even the air defense grid had begun operating in rotation to conserve energy. In the strategy room, Mira stared at the digital fuel log projected across the table. The numbers were cold and unforgiving, red indicators blinked next to storage hubs that had once been full. She leaned back in her chair slowly, her fingers pressing against her temples. “Why the hell would they burn this much on patrols? F*cking hell!” She snapped. In one sharp motion, she swept the stack of physical files off the desk. Papers scattered across the floor and a glass of water tipped over and rolled away. The doors slid open and Jace walked in with Gordon behind him. Jace’s expression mirrored hers, though he kept it contained. One of his sleeves hung empty, he had removed his mechanical arm a

The next morning in Aurora City Memorial Hospital was quiet, almost peaceful. The surgery lasted several hours, and for once, there were no explosions, no glowing eyes, no violent clashes between twins. Just bright operating lights and the steady focus of trained hands doing careful work. Thomas led the procedure still, but with calm precision. He no longer had any intent to tweak anything. Mira’s condition had been worse than anyone expected, the scans showed fragile vessels and abnormal pressure around damaged regions of her brain. For someone like her to even stand and fight in that state was nothing short of terrifying. When it was finally over, Thomas removed his gloves and let out a controlled breath. “She’ll live.” He said simply. “Recovery won’t be instant, but the pressure has been relieved. The bleeding should stop.” Jace, who had been waiting outside the entire time, closed his eyes in relief. He did not smile, he rarely did since Mira told him about the pain, but the

Michael turned fully toward Mira and Jace, confusion and tension mixing in his eyes. “Did father also arrange for you to come here?” Mira let out a dry scoff. “Father? Please. As if I’d ever ask that man for help. We all know you’re his golden child anyway.” She folded her arms and tilted her head. “That said, how the hell did you lose your memories? Did you hit your head that hard?” Michael instinctively rubbed the side of his head. The moment he did, something cracked open inside his mind. Images flashed violently, Moons University, the chemical technology faculty courtyard, Killian’s twisted grin, the iron rods piercing through his eye and stomach and the intense pain that surged through him at that moment. He staggered back as the hallway seemed to tilt. Thomas rushed forward and grabbed his arm to steady him. Mira watched with mild irritation. “Just my luck.” She muttered. “If it wasn’t for this damn hindrance, this would’ve been the perfect chance to end him.” More memori

The next morning felt different the moment Michael opened his eyes. Celia was already awake and pacing the room like she had too much coffee. She kept checking her phone, adjusting the curtains, fixing the bed sheets even though they were perfectly straight. Michael sat up slowly, studying her without saying anything at first. He had lost his memories, not his instincts. Something was definitely off. She caught him staring and flashed him a bright smile, “Good morning. Did you sleep well?” “Like someone who ran a marathon in his head.” He replied calmly. “You seem… Energetic.” She laughed a little too fast, “It’s a nice day. That’s all.” He didn’t push it immediately, but the feeling stayed in his chest. It felt tight and uncomfortable, like a knot that refused to loosen. Whatever she and Thomas talked about last night had not left her mind… And now it wasn’t leaving his either. Later that morning, they went up to the rooftop. The space was polished and quiet, with sleek bench
