Chapter 514
The outskirts of the city of Terra had changed over the past year. What was once a ragged and rocky area was now well constructed. Buildings and reinforced structures had been added along the route, making the area look completely different from what it used to be. The path that went through the outskirts was now wider and well constructed, allowing people to travel through the area more easily. The high rocky terrains that were once filled with sniper soldiers were no longer there, most of those natural hiding spots had either been removed or changed as the city continued to develop. It was clear that Terra had put a lot of effort into making the outskirts safer and more accessible, but Mira didn’t seem impressed by the changes. She stood near the path, looking over the area with her arms folded. She took in the new structures and the cleaner roads before letting out a quiet sigh, “They’ve gone soft.” Her tone was blunt, almost disappointed. Jace approached her from behind and

Scofield family estate Meeting room The door opened and Michael stepped in. “Sure took your sweet time getting here…” Adrian said with a coy smile. Michael only smiled and looked away before taking a seat. He glanced at Barry, “You said you have some news?” Barry nodded and picked up the remote control for the huge monitor mounted on the wall. “Yeah, I got this one from Isaac. You’re not gonna believe it.” Michael leaned forward, giving Barry his full attention without saying anything. “Remember when the war with Mira first began and you had to meet a bunch of war experts to assist you with soldiers?” Barry asked. Michael nodded. “Yeah?” Barry pressed a button on the remote, bringing several documents onto the monitor. “Well, it turns out… Those experts have been working with the UCA for quite a while now. Supplying them with soldiers, gear, ammo, you name it.” Michael didn’t say anything for a moment, he leaned back slightly and rubbed his chin as he looked through the info

“All done.” Michael said as he closed the medical kit and set it aside. He had just finished treating Celia’s wounds. He looked over the work he had done one last time before getting up from the coffee table, “You should get some rest.” He sat across from her and gave her a reassuring smile, “You’re safe here.” Celia leaned back and rested against the couch, but she didn’t look ready to sleep. “Later. I want to know what happened to you during these past five months you were on Fog Island.” Her eyes stayed on him, waiting for an answer. Michael knew there was no way around the question, so he let out a quiet breath and tried to explain everything without making it sound worse than it already was. “Hah… What didn’t happen? From fighting rabid Infused soldiers daily, to finding out the island was fake and was sinking, to trying to keep it afloat by recharging it…” He paused briefly before continuing, “Lost both my arms in the process. I was out cold for about a week, haha.” He trie

Michael’s car sped through the night. His jaw worked as his hands gripped the steering wheel tighter. Adrian went with him without question, his eyes fixed on the road. Getting to the Morgan residence from the estate would normally take at least an hour, but thanks to the empty night roads and Michael’s speed, they arrived in less than thirty minutes. He rushed out of the car and moved toward the house. “I’ll check around.” Adrian said and moved in a different direction. Michael reached the entrance and stopped when he saw that the entire door was on the floor. His heart sank as he stepped inside, “Celia?” He called. “Celia!” The house was quiet, and for a moment, he couldn’t hear anything. He moved farther inside, looking around as he called her name again. Then the lights came on, and there she was at the end of the hallway that led to her room. “Michael?” She called, relief clear in her voice. “It's you.” Michael immediately went to her, checking her face. She had a light

Adrian sighed and shook his head. “Monica has nothing to do with this.” Mira wasn’t convinced, but he didn’t change his answer. “Oh, come on, Blackwood. Is this how stupid I look to you?” She let out a dry laugh. “You know I can mind control you to tell me the truth, right?” He looked at her for a moment before letting out a tired sigh, knowing she would do it if she could. “Won’t work.” He pointed at himself. “Infused, remember?” Mira rolled her eyes. She knew he was right, but that didn’t make his answer any less annoying. She picked up her watch and slipped it back onto her wrist. “Let’s just go.” Adrian followed her, saying nothing. They walked toward the end of the quiet road. For a while, neither of them spoke. Mira kept her eyes ahead while he stayed a few steps behind her. Knowing that saying nothing would only drag out the situation, he finally spoke. “I didn’t know what to do, so I acted like everything was normal between us.” Mira stopped and turned around half way
Chapter 509
Mira’s reaction wasn’t much. She remained unimpressed as the gun pressed harder against her head. She barely moved, as if the situation was more irritating than threatening. She looked ahead for a moment before slowly raising an eyebrow, “Robbery? In broad daylight?” She didn’t sound frightened at all. If anything, she seemed more annoyed that someone had interrupted her day. The robber shifted behind her, clearly expecting fear or panic. Instead, Mira sounded almost bored. He tightened his grip on the weapon and pressed it harder against her head. “I’m warning you... Make a sound and I’ll blow your brains...” The robber didn’t get to finish when he felt an invisible force yank him backwards and throw him against the wall. His gun slipped from his hand and landed on the ground a few feet away. She stood up and turned around. The robber looked confused and scared. He looked around, trying to figure out what had happened, until he looked at Mira. His eyes widened as he recognized
