The frown on Austin's face showed that he was currently deep in thought, looking for a way to escape from this place. He had thought of returning to the carriage that had previously brought them from the main castle to this place to escape.Austin even considered finding another path in the middle of the road, but no matter what, the important thing was to escape from Carter's army first.His hands tightened firmly at his sides. He couldn't escape. The only way they could escape was to go through that long passage to get out and use another vehicle. But they would first have to dive with scuba gear to get there. This was too dangerous for Justin, who was already injured."There's no other choice," Austin muttered under his breath, glancing at Justin, who grimaced in pain beside him. "Justin, get back in the cart."Justin nodded his head, obeying his brother's words. With limited steps, they walked backward, stepping to get back into the train. But before they could get in, the train s
Lucas drummed his fingers on the table as he sat relaxed in his room, awaiting Chris' arrival. He had heard that Chris and his troops had managed to locate Justin and Austin's hideout.Chris had also just informed him that the two brothers had been captured and were coming here.Not long after, Chris knocked on the front door. "Sir, they're already in the interrogation room."Hearing that, Lucas nodded. He got up from his chair and, together with Chris, went to the basement interrogation room.Lucas's footsteps echoed off the cold walls as he stepped into the gloomy basement. In the dark shadows, a group of men dressed in black emerged from dark corners, each with severe faces and unreadable expressions.They bowed respectfully, raising their hands to their chests in reverence, welcoming Lucas' arrival with a sense of loyalty. Lucas looked at them with a cold expression, feeling the power flowing through him. In that dark room, an aura of tension pervaded, and their loyalty to Lucas w
Lucas sits relaxed, holding a book while paying attention to something in front of him. His lips sometimes smiled and parted as he spoke."Yes, that's how it is." He closed the book on his lap. "You must be proud of me, right?" She was silent momentarily, looking straight at him with a faint smile. "Don't worry, fall is just around the corner."Lucas got up, holding his book. He looked back at Louis, who lay unmoving with many tubes and medical devices attached to the man's head and chest. A peaceful, prolonged sleep.The gaze of those eyes looked cold and slightly empty as if they had lost the living light that usually radiated warmth. They were hollow, portraying the confusion and deep sadness of seeing a twin brother lying helplessly in a coma. An enveloping sense of loneliness created the impression that the world around him was fading away.He stepped out of the room where his twin brother was, and at the same time, Chris approached, bowing respectfully.Lucas handed the book to
Chris untied Austin and Justin's hands, placing the two bottles closer to them. Their position was utterly depressed, and they couldn't move. Even if they fought back, they couldn't beat Chris, especially with so many bodyguards standing guard.Chris deliberately walked out of the room and locked the door. He was giving them a chance to talk as brothers one last time before death came to them.Justin's Adam's apple bobbed up and down at the sight of the bottle as if they were in a death grip, ready to cut their heads off at any moment.Justin's eyes moved to Austin. His eyes widened. "Brother, are you seriously going to take it?"Austin reached out. A subtle tremor ran through his hand as he grasped the bottle, signaling how heavy the emotional burden was. An atmosphere of doubt and despair surrounded Justin and Austin, creating a suffocating atmosphere. Their faces looked pale, expressions full of uncertainty and confusion. Justin repeatedly shook his head, looking away as if unable
Black smoke rises from the charred building. Police have secured the surrounding area, placing police lines to prevent people from entering. Some officers try to calm curious citizens, while others get ready with firefighting equipment.The sound of sirens wailed through the city streets. Many journalists from television stations gathered at a large building that had burned down."There has been a battle between mafia groups that has burned down a large, luxurious building in the southern city." The anchor reporter on the ground pointed at the charred remains of the building. "The cause of the fire is still unknown, but there is a strong suspicion that this building was deliberately set on fire by a rival group."Cameras showed many police securing the area and other journalists vying momentarily. The atmosphere was chaotic, and this was clearly depicted on the camera.Meanwhile, the same news coverage still shows a castle with a destroyed underground passage train in another place. T
Soft crystal lamps hang from the ceiling, emitting a warm light that creates an intimate atmosphere. The table is neatly set with a white tablecloth and lit candles in the center, adding to the romantic mood of the night. Roses are arranged in small vases, spreading a natural fragrance.Soft classical music plays from the corner of the room, filling the air with calming melodies. Every note seems to enhance the beauty of the moment. Lora is dressed in an elegant evening gown, while Lucas looks handsome in his suit, glowing in the candlelight.The food served is gourmet, from delicious appetizers to tempting desserts. They exchange stories and laughter, celebrating the love they’ve just committed to through their engagement. Lucas rented the luxurious restaurant for a private dinner, just the two of them.Lora is in awe of the scene before her. She looks at Lucas with admiration. “You must have spent a lot of money on this.”Lucas furrows his brows with a faint smile. “Are you worried
The tense atmosphere dominated as Lucas carefully opened one document after another. The two men standing before him remained silent, frozen in place, their anxiety palpable. Their faces were tight with tension, their Adam’s apples bobbing nervously as they exchanged glances filled with apprehension, fearing they might make a critical mistake.Adam, who was usually calm, appeared restless, his hands fidgeting constantly. Meanwhile, Ryan, who was more expressive, showed clear signs of worry, his eyes never leaving the documents Lucas held.“Good.” That was all Lucas said, but it didn’t ease the tension in the hearts of his two friends. “You both did your jobs well.”Ryan and Adam's faces began to smile. They looked at each other, their eyes bright with disbelief that they had completed the task.Lucas nodded slightly toward his two friends, closing the files they had handed him earlier. “This work is perfect.”Now, both felt genuine relief and joy after receiving praise from Lucas. In
Lucas frowned, blinking his half-open eyes. His vision was blurry, but he could see shattered glass and the deployed airbag. His head throbbed, feeling hot and painful. His body was stiff after hitting the interior sides of the car multiple times. Pain radiated throughout his body, especially in his chest and neck.The car smelled of smoke and burning rubber. Lucas waved his hand through the air, trying to get some clean oxygen. Feeling the tightness in his lungs, he quickly exited the car and was shocked by what he saw.Lucas coughed as he inhaled the thick smoke left from the crash, grabbing the attention of the bystanders. Those who saw him in the accident widened their eyes in shock."That's Mr. Lucas Carter. He's injured." Several people immediately approached to help.However, Lucas quickly avoided them and tried to look at the car he had crashed into."Where is that person? How's the driver? Are they okay?" Lucas was visibly worried about the person he had hit while being assis
