Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty eight Ethan was about to walk away from the door when the bell rang. His face gleamed with joy. Fiona was here.The door automatically opened, and she walked in, a bit of a surprise look on her face to see Ethan to be with him. She could see the atmosphere and wondered what was going on. "Why are you here, and why is my uncle having a gun?" Fiona asked, staring at both of them. " Jason would be here anytime soon. I need him to get his facts right. He is going to come at him with everything he has got. Ethan should be calm and shouldn't let him know the truth." Henry replied, walking back to his seat. Fiona looked at Ethan. "He didn't kill your father, did he?" She asked, staring at him. "Does it matter? The police think he did. That is the version of the story we are going with, and Ethan here is going to make sure of it. Jason needs to disappear away from our lives for all our sakes." Henry said with a croaky voice. "Are you sure no one saw you do it?" Fiona looked at him. "Zeek. He

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty seven Henry looked at Ethan, who was now looking sober. "Is this your first time killing a human?" He asked with delight. He was actually happy with the fact that Ethan took out Dylan himself.Ethan nodded, not sure of what to say. "This is very simple. When asked who killed him, all you need to say, the name you need to call, is Jason Carter," Henry said immediately. "Don't worry, I have got this. All you need to do is follow my lead." He replied, sipping the reddish wine in front of him. "And Zeek? He saw my face. He knew I killed my father," Ethan replied, frightened. But instead, Henry found it amusing. "Your father? Didn't you kill him because you found out that he wasn't your father?" he paused, staring into Ethan's face. There was a bit of a tense atmosphere between the both of them. "I was going to tell you that you were just a loafer, but then that would break your heart," Henry jested. Ethan looked at him and noticed Henry was enjoying all of this. He had a lot to gain from

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty six "What do you mean I have to follow you to the station?" Jason looked at both men. "We received a threatening note about your criminal activities." One of the men replied. Jason was surprised; Zeek was not around or a key witness to what they were saying.Jason was immediately dragged out of the house and thrown into the police car. The laptop he had was also taken along with him. "And who told you that I was a criminal?" Jason asked, looking at their faces, but he was met with a long silence that he immediately stopped asking any more questions.On getting to the police station, Jason immediately called me, Nicholas, who refused to pick up his call after Jason had spoken to him rudely.Jason called Zeek immediately, " I need you to get here now and also contact Mr Nicholas. He needs to send the company's lawyer to me, or I am going to fire his ass!" Jason ordered The men looked at him and laughed, "Do you think your lawyer can get you out of this mess?" One of them asked Jason sa

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty five Dylan's face went pale to see Sniper standing right in front of them. "Going somewhere?" He said with a smile on his face. "I believe you have unfinished business with my boss." Dylan's face went pale; Ethan cowered behind his father. He was right all along; Jason had decided to take law into his own hands.But he knew he cannot get his hands dirty. Not yet." Jason would never do this. He would never try to kill a soul." Dylan replied with the gun pointed at Sniper. "Why don't you meet with him yourself since you are so certain you know him very well?" a voice said behind Dylan as Zeek materialized out of nowhere. Ethan looked back and wet his pants. "Dad," he called out, slowly tapping his father on the shoulder. "Give me a time to think, you idiot!" Dylan lashes out at him. "You are no son of mine, you imbecile." Ethan's face went pale. "What do you mean, Dad?" Ethan asked in a shaky voice. "You don't mean that, do you?" "I mean every word coming from my mouth, you scoundrel

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty four The DPO looked at Jason and back at the recording being played repeatedly right in front of him. "And you are sure this is legit?" He asked to tape the pause button. "I have my source. All I need is for you to have them arrested." Jason said confidently. He looked at the DPO, and he could see the hesitation in his eyes. Jason knew Henry; Dylan had men in higher places.Men who can have them boycott the law with just a single snap of their fingers. But then, he was ready to fight even if it meant taking this to the highest level. He was going to give it everything."Fine, can I have the recording?" The DPO asked, making Jason furrow his eyebrows. "Why? I don't expect you to issue an arrest warrant and have you men out there to arrest Dylan Matthews." He snapped at the man seated behind the polished chair. "You need to relax, Mr. Jason. Things are not done that way. It is a gradual process." he replied "What? Are you telling me this is useless even after you are convinced that they m

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and forty three "Fuck!" He let out a loud shout, breaking the wine glass cup he was holding. "You mean to tell me that boy managed to elude you once again? Is that it?" Henry raised the corners of his eyebrows in anger. The room was silent with the last man standing. "Are you deaf?!" Henry thundered. " He managed to escape." The scarred man replied. "And Death? "Whereyou able to have him killed?" Henry asked, looking at his face. The broken shred has done a number on his palms, as the trickling of his blood on the marble floor made it visibly seen. " Death, Jason still has him." Henry asked closer to him and grabbed him by the neck. "You are just a waste!" The scarred man landed on his knees. "I am going to get them. I just need more men." " More men? What about the men I gave to you? What did you do with them?" Henry slowly asked while walking towards the shelf. The scarred man knew what was going on. He quickly gets on his feet. "I will get them! I promise." But it was too late. He

Chapter: chapter forty eight "Are you alright?" Zack asked again, looking at Ethan, who was now standing rooted to a spot. "Is he?" Barnet looked at Zack, and both of them moved back again. Ethan. understood the message well and knew he had to save Selena. Benjamin was going to torture her with everything he has if she refused to spill the truth about where the serums were. "We need to go now! We are not having enough time to save her. The system. gave me just four days." Ethan said sweating. "The system? what system?" Barnet asked, looking at Zack, who was also confused. "What are you talking about, soldier boy?" Barnet asked, forcing the words out of his mouth. "We just need to say save her, and that is all that matters." Ethan replied "HHave you forgotten the part where you need to convince the men to join your cause?" Zack said scornfully, taking a seat."And don't forget you killed their fathers and sons. I wonder if they would like to join hands with a murderer." Barnet added Ethan's face changed as h

Chapter: chapter forty sevenThe loud, desperate shout of Selena could be heard as she batted the monster on her own. "Leave her!" Ethan tried to speak, but the sharp pain he felt at the back of his head was too much. His vision was blurry as he got to his feet. He wanted to have a go at this monster, but then he couldn't. He fell to the ground and passed out.After what felt like eternity, Ethan felt like he was being rebooted. His eyes slowly flickered open, and he looked around. "Where the hell am I?" He said slowly, trying to look around. He noticed he couldn't move. Ethan tried to force himself out of the chair he sat on, but he couldn't. He needed some time to gather his strength. He remembered what happened, and the thought of what might have happened to Selena was all he could think about. The door opened, and Barnet walked in. "Ah, I can see you are awake. I treated your wounds," he said, slowly dragging a seat towards Ethan's front. Ethan said nothing but simply stared at him; he remembered their last

Chapter: chapter forty six "You lost them? You lost them!" Benjamin shouted at one of the soldiers and gunned him down. "I went through the streets capturing the doctor. I did your jobs for you, and what did you do? You blew it right in my fave." "We are going to bring them back alive, Colonel." One of the soldiers said again"I don't know how you are going to do it, but I need the doctor back alive. I don't care about the zombie man now. What we need is the serum, and we need to stop with these failed experiments." Benjamin shouted One of the doctors entered, his clothes soiled with human blood. "What is the progress?" Benjamin gave his final orders to his men and walked towards the man whose face showed he was scared of telling Benjamin what the outcome of his work was. "I am sorry, Ben. I think we might need the ersuk after all. Is Selena here yet?" "How dare you ask me that when you cannot even get me what I want? Are you telling me that Selena is more important and knowledgeable than you?" Ben shouted,

Chapter: chapter forty five Jared's mind raced as Paul’s words echoed in his ears. He felt the weight of Benjamin’s command, but the temptation to solidify his power was gnawing at him. Kennedy represented a symbol of resistance, a hope for the community to cling to, and that was dangerous. Yet, Benjamin had been clear about maintaining order, not spilling unnecessary blood. If he went against Benjamin's orders, he might find himself in a worse position than Kennedy. He needed to play this smart. Jared turned to the rest of the soldiers still stationed around the community. “Listen up!” he barked. “We’ll follow Benjamin’s orders to the letter. We keep the peace, maintain control, and we don’t do anything without me saying so. Am I understood?” The soldiers nodded, but Jared could see doubt in some of their eyes. They had all seen Benjamin’s ruthlessness; they knew what he was capable of. Jared knew that to them, he was just another soldier, easily replaceable if he stepped out of line. He needed to gain their

Chapter: chapter forty four The loud gunshot woke Ethan up. He looked beside him and saw Rachel bleeding to the floor. "No, no!" He shouted, running towards his sister, but the soldiers had him pinned down. "Please, just this once. Give me a new mission. Please save her!" Ethan shouted like a madman. Many of the onlookers didn't know who he was talking to or what he was saying. Rachel gasped for breath as she looked at Ethan. "I am sorry, big brother; I didn't mean to be hostile towards you. I just...I just..." She was about to utter another word when life slowly left her body. Ethan looked up, and his eyes glowed blue. "Do you give the serum to him? Is that why he is special, different?" Benjamin shouted at Selena. "No, I didn't. I don't have the serum. You need to believe me." She begged "Do I need to kill him before you understand? Is that what you really want?" Benjamin said with a smirk. The community was silent, and if a pin had dropped, they would have heard the sound. "Bring me that man." Jared walke

Chapter: chapter forty three "You don't have to do this." Kennedy shouted as Benjamin was about to shoot him in the head. "She is here, and I will lead you right to her." He pleaded "See, that wasn't so hard after all." Benjamin said with a smirk as he trailed after Kennedy, who was now shaking like a jellyfish. The door to the room burst open. Kennedy eyes scanned the room for Rachel and Whitmore. "Are you playing some game with me, boy?" Benjamin shouted, his voice laced with anger. Before Kennedy would say a word, he was shot in the knee. The loud groan of Kennedy could be heard. "Last chance, where is she?" Benjamin scowled "She is... she is supposed to be here. I swear, please." Kennedy knelt down crying. "Where the hell is she?" Benjamin looked around. "You need to run or else they are going to kill you." Rachel looked at Whitmore in the eyes. 'Besides, is your name Whitmore? That doesn't sound like a feminine name." "You can call me Selena. Whitmore is a family name. Is it going to leave your brother

Chapter: Chapter thirty Shadows UnveiledThe air was thick with the scent of damp concrete and sweat as Daniel’s heart raced. He had just barely escaped the ambush above, but now, as he stood frozen at the foot of the staircase, his mind spun with disbelief. The figure before him was all too familiar, though he never imagined seeing them here, of all places."James?" Daniel’s voice was low, a mixture of confusion and anger.The man who stood before them, his features partially hidden in the shadows, stepped into the dim light. His cold blue eyes met Daniel’s, and the faintest of smirks tugged at the corner of his lips."It’s been a long time, Daniel," James said, his tone casual, as though they were meeting in some ordinary, mundane place. "Too long, actually."Daniel’s stomach churned. This wasn’t the reunion he had imagined. James had once been his closest ally, the man who had fought beside him through thick and thin. But now, after everything that had happened—after Dominion’s betrayal and the mole withi

Lisa was frozen beside him, her breath shallow, but Daniel didn’t have the luxury of panic.The tall, menacing figure at the front of the group sneered, his eyes locking with Daniel’s. "We’ve been expecting you," he said, his voice smooth, almost mocking.The words hit Daniel like a punch to the gut. He had been so careful, so meticulous in his planning, but now it felt like the walls were closing in, the game shifting into a new and more dangerous phase."Put your weapons down," the man ordered, his voice calm but full of authority. "You’re not leaving this place alive."Daniel's eyes darted around the room, searching for an escape route. There had to be a way out.

Chapter: Chapter twenty seven Uncovering the MoleDaniel sat at his desk, staring at the glowing screen. The weight of the information in his inbox had settled heavily on his chest. The cryptic email from the whistleblower was a game changer, but it also led him to an unsettling realization: there was a mole in his own team. Someone was feeding information directly to Dominion.The thought gnawed at him, eating away at his confidence. How could someone he trusted betray him? The betrayal stung more than any attack from Dominion, because it came from within. But there was no time to wallow in disbelief. Daniel had to find the traitor—quickly.That night, Daniel could hardly sleep. The system buzzed in his mind, offering its usual guidance, but his thoughts kept returning to the growing list of potential suspects. Who among his team could it be? The trusted allies who had stood by him? Or someone else who had been playing both sides?The answer came soon enough. Daniel knew that he had to act fast before the mole ca

Chapter: chapter twenty six The Cyber BattleThe dim glow of his computer screen lit up Daniel's face as his heart raced. The system had warned him—this was bigger than just Dominion’s typical tactics. They had not only infiltrated his corporate network but were now zeroing in on his personal accounts, threatening everything he had worked for. The alarm on his computer blinked red, an ominous reminder that the battle was only beginning.“Lisa, get to the firewall,” Daniel barked, his voice steady despite the pressure mounting inside him. His fingers flew over the keyboard, tracing the lines of code and watching the attack unfold in real-time. “They’ve already bypassed the initial defenses.”Lisa was at his side in a second, her eyes scanning the digital battlefield. “I’m on it. But we need to act fast—they’re targeting the core servers. If they breach those, they’ll have access to everything: the company, the product, even the client data.”Daniel’s mind raced. He could feel the weight of every decision, every s

Chapter: Chapter twenty five The TrapThe air in the warehouse was thick with tension as Daniel stood still, his senses on high alert. The stranger toyed with the device in his hand, a sly grin spreading across his face.“You’ve caused quite the stir, Daniel,” the man said, his voice echoing through the dimly lit space. “Dominion doesn’t take kindly to meddling.”Daniel’s mind raced as the system’s voice whispered in his ear:Threat analysis in progress. Escape routes identified. Proceed with caution.“What’s your angle?” Daniel asked, keeping his voice steady. “If you’re with Dominion, why lure me here instead of handling this quietly?”The man chuckled, stepping closer. “Let’s just say my employer enjoys theatrics. But you… you’ve made things personal.”The room grew silent as Daniel calculated his next move. He glanced at the exits the system had marked, but the stranger noticed his wandering eyes.“Don’t even think about it,” the man warned, raising the device.
