The Brutal Revenge Chapter 14: The Deceiver's Hand
The silence after the cryptic message on Jones’s phone was suffocating. His instincts screamed at him, this wasn’t over. He knew Adrian wasn’t the type to retreat. If anything, the message felt like a warning, a reminder that the real game had just begun. Jones clenched his jaw, pacing inside the hideout. Kayla and Isaac sat across from him, both tense. “What’s the play?” Isaac asked. “Adrian’s dangerous, but he’s not Clinton. He doesn’t let emotions get in the way.” “That’s exactly what makes him more dangerous,” Kayla muttered. “He’s a strategist. He won’t attack head-on. He’ll chip away at us first.” Jones exhaled, his mind working fast. Adrian wasn’t just trying to beat him, he was trying to control the battlefield. He had already proven he could manipulate situations, gain information, and predict their moves. Now, he would come for the foundation Jones had built. And if Adrian was anything like Clinton, he would make his first move soon. Very soon. The next morni
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 15: The Vanishing Point
The weight of Adrian’s victory pressed down on Jones like a vice. The video on the phone was proof of Adrian’s meticulous planning, his ability to stay ten steps ahead. But Jones wasn’t about to let this be the end. Adrian was still within reach, just steps away, strolling toward the exit as if he had already won. His confidence was infuriating. Jones clenched his fists. Not this time. Adrian had played his game. Now, it was Jones’s turn. “You think this is over?” Jones’s voice cut through the silence. Adrian paused. His smirk returned as he turned his head slightly. “It should be. You’re in checkmate.” Jones exhaled, his pulse steady. “Not yet.” Then he moved. A blur of motion. Adrian barely had time to turn before Jones launched forward, closing the gap between them with explosive speed. A punch flew toward Adrian’s face. He dodged, but just barely. Too late. Jones had predicted the sidestep. His knee shot up, slamming into Adrian’s ribs with a brutal force that sent him
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 16: The Deception
The gym still smelled of sweat and blood, the echoes of the fight lingering in the air. Jones stood in the silence, fists clenched, eyes scanning the now-empty space. Clinton had made his move, slipping away into the darkness like a ghost.But something felt off.Adrian wasn’t the type to disappear so easily.Jones took a slow breath, trying to steady his pulse, but the moment he did.BAM!The gym doors slammed open.Jones barely had time to react before a blur of motion came barreling toward him.Adrian.Jones twisted to dodge, but Adrian was faster this time. A fist crashed into his ribs, sending a shockwave of pain through his body. Jones gritted his teeth, stepping back, but Adrian didn’t stop.Another punch. A brutal hook to the jaw.Jones staggered.Adrian was back.And this time, he wasn’t holding back.Kayla and Isaac tensed on the sidelines, ready to jump in, but Jones held up a hand, stopping them.This fight was his.Adrian smirked. His face was still battered, his eye swel
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 17: The Shattered Victory
The gym was still. The only sounds were the ragged breaths of the fallen and the distant echoes of Clinton’s last words.We burn this place to the ground.Jones’s pulse hammered in his skull. The weight of exhaustion pressed on him, but the fire in his chest burned hotter. Blood dripped from his brow, mixing with the sweat on his skin. His body screamed in protest, but his mind was sharp—calculating. He had won the fight, but Clinton had set the board for war.Kayla and Isaac flanked him, their eyes fixed on the retreating figures disappearing into the night. Shadows stretched across the wreckage of Blackwood’s battleground, whispering of battles yet to come.Jones wiped the blood from his mouth. He couldn’t show weakness. Not now. Not ever.“This isn’t over,” he muttered.Isaac exhaled sharply. “Feels like it is.”Kayla shot him a glare, then turned back to Jones. “What’s the move?”Jones looked down at Adrian, broken on the floor, barely conscious. The bastard had taken him to his l
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 18: The Ghosts of Betrayals
A scream tore through the tunnels. Jones spun, adrenaline surging like wildfire. The smoke blurred his vision, but the raw agony in that voice was unmistakable, one of his own. His chest tightened. Clinton just watched. Amused. “Didn’t I tell you?” Clinton’s voice was a whisper of menace. “I already started.” Jones’s mind raced. What had he done? Then....gunfire. Not from the tunnels. From above. Isaac grabbed Jones’s arm, eyes wide. “That’s coming from—” The administration building. Jones’s pulse slammed. “Kayla’s up there.” Clinton’s smirk widened. “She was.” No. Jones didn’t think. He moved. Ripping free from Clinton’s grip, he launched himself forward, shoving through the battlefield. The tunnels were an inferno—bodies colliding, blades flashing in the suffocating dark. Jones didn’t stop. Clinton’s laugh echoed behind him. “Run, Jones. Run to your ghosts.” The administration building was burning. Flames licked at the windows, shattered glass spillin
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 19: Shadows Unveiled
The traitor took a step back, eyes darting between Jones and Clinton, weighing his next move. He had played his part well, lurking in the shadows, feeding Clinton every weakness in Jones’s defenses. But now, the tides had turned. His smirk wavered as the reality of the moment pressed in. The betrayal had been revealed.Jones’s body ached, his mind screamed, but his rage burned hotter. He wasn’t going to let this snake slither away. “You’re done,” Jones growled.The traitor hesitated.Then—he bolted.Jones lunged, but Clinton moved to block him. “Let him go, Jones,” Clinton sneered. “He did what I needed him to do.”Jones’s fists clenched. Let him go? After all the lives lost because of his lies? After what he did to Kayla? No.But before Jones could give chase, another explosion rocked the building. Debris rained from above, choking the air with dust and smoke. The fight had taken its toll—walls crumbled, fire licked the edges of the battlefield, and bodies, both friend and foe, lay s
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 20: The Betrayer's Fall
A deafening silence stretched through the wreckage. Smoke curled in the air, the scent of gunpowder thick. Jones's heart pounded as he stared into the face of the unseen threat—the man who had orchestrated it all.A man he once called brother.“…Mason.”The name left his lips like venom.Mason Reed. Once Jones’s right-hand man. A strategist, a fighter, someone who had bled for their cause.And now, the architect of this nightmare.Mason’s lips curved into a slow, mocking smile. “Took you long enough.”Jones’s grip on his gun tightened. His mind reeled, flashing back to every battle, every loss. It all made sense now—the ambushes, the betrayals, the strategic weaknesses Clinton had exploited.It had never been Clinton’s doing alone.It had been Mason.“You did this,” Jones growled. “You sold us out. You killed our people.”Mason tilted his head. “No, Jones. You did. You built a war, and I just… let it burn.”Jones lunged, but Clinton grabbed his arm, holding him back. “Not yet,” Clinto
The Brutal Revenge Chapter 21: A Deal with the Devil
Blackwood College was no longer battlefield, it was a graveyard.The once-prestigious institution had become a warzone, where alliances crumbled, and power shifted like sand through open fingers. Blood had soaked into the very foundation, and the ones who still fought weren’t doing it for survival anymore.They were doing it for control.Jones and Clinton weren’t just leaders anymore. They were kings fighting over a broken kingdom, their crews caught in the chaos of their war. But now, as the tide turned against him, Clinton was left with one choice—one that would change everything.The shattered windowpane rattled in the cold wind as Clinton leaned against the desk in what remained of the abandoned administration building. His crew, exhausted and bloodied, filled the room. Tension thickened the air, pressing down on them like a storm waiting to break.Nate, his second-in-command, wiped the blood from his cheek. "Jones isn't letting up. We lost the East Wing, and he's locking down the

Chapter 50: The Silent Takeover
Jones paced the ruined halls of Blackwood College, his mind a battlefield of unanswered questions. The weight of recent disappearances pressed against his chest like a vice. Derrick was gone. Leo was gone. Dre had returned, but he might as well have been a ghost, lost in a haze of missing time and fear.The silence was heavier than the gunfire that had once ripped through these halls. It wasn’t the silence of peace. It was the silence before something unspeakable.Lexi stood at the far end of the hall, her arms crossed, eyes sharp with worry. “Boss, this isn’t a coincidence,” she said, voice low.Jones nodded. “I know.”But knowing wasn’t enough.Clinton was still playing the game. The problem was—Jones didn’t know what the game was.And that terrified him.Clinton stood in the underground surveillance chamber, his fingers gliding over a rusted keyboard. The glow from the monitors illuminated his smirk as he watched Jones through flickering screens.The fool still thought he was in co
Chapter 49: The Silent Conspiracy
Jones stood in the ruined halls of Blackwood College, staring at the blank screen where Clinton had just taunted him. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and gunpowder. His grip on his gun tightened.He had won.Hadn’t he?His crew was securing the college, sweeping every corridor, making sure Clinton’s forces had either surrendered or were eliminated. But something didn’t sit right.Clinton had been smiling.Not the smile of a man who had lost.The smile of a man who had already won.Jones exhaled, forcing his shoulders to relax. He had to be overthinking it. Clinton was beaten. His people were scattered. Blackwood belonged to him now.Then why did it feel like he was standing in a minefield, waiting for the next explosion?Leo’s voice crackled through the radio.“Boss, east wing secured. No sign of Clinton.”“Keep looking,” Jones ordered. “Lock everything down. If he’s hiding, I want him found.”He clipped the radio back onto his belt and turned toward the main hall.That was
Chapter 48: The Fall That Wasn't
The explosion tore through the east wing of Blackwood College, shaking the very foundation of the battlefield. Smoke and fire erupted, swallowing the air with an acrid stench. Shattered glass and burning wood rained down like a storm, obscuring the chaos unfolding beneath it.Through the thick haze, Jones surged forward, his crew right behind him, weapons drawn, their determination set in stone.This was it.The final battle.And he was ready to end Clinton for good.On the other side of the field, Clinton stood tall despite the destruction around him. His forces, battered and bleeding, formed a tight line behind him, outnumbered and overwhelmed. The weight of war clung to them, their muscles stiff from exhaustion. Yet, in Clinton’s eyes, there was no fear.No regret.Just a glint of something Jones couldn’t place.Something that made his gut tighten.Jones took a step forward, his voice cutting through the smoke.“You should’ve stayed gone, Clinton.”Clinton dusted off his shoulders
Chapter 47: The Art of Deception
Clinton leaned back against the cold concrete wall of his underground hideout, his fingers pressing against the wound on his arm. Blood oozed between his fingers, but the pain barely registered. His mind was already calculating, shifting the pieces of the game.Blackwood College wasn't lost.Not yet.He had expected Jones to come at him hard. Expected his empire to crumble under the weight of that final battle. But what Jones didn’t know—what none of them knew—was that Clinton never played a game he wasn’t ready to lose.Because a man who prepared for defeat?Could never truly be beaten.His remaining men stood in front of him, some wounded, some exhausted, but all loyal. They had watched their forces fall, their strongholds burn. But in their eyes, he still saw belief.Belief that he would turn this around.Clinton’s lips curved into a slow smirk as he stepped forward.“Listen up,” he said, voice sharp as steel. “Jones and his crew think they’ve won. They think Blackwood belongs to t
Chapter 46: The Illusion of Victory
The gunshot cracked through the night.Jones twisted just in time. The bullet grazed his ear instead of blowing his head off. Pain flared, sharp and searing, but he moved fast. His elbow slammed into Clinton’s ribs, forcing him to stumble back.Gunfire still roared around them. The half-built construction site was a battlefield of chaos—screams, bullets, the clash of steel against steel.Clinton recovered fast, raising his pistol again. Jones didn't give him the chance. He lunged, gripping Clinton’s wrist, forcing the gun upward as another shot fired wildly into the sky.Clinton snarled, eyes burning. “You’re persistent.”Jones gritted his teeth, muscles straining against Clinton’s strength. “And you’re done running.”He twisted, slamming Clinton’s hand into a nearby steel beam. The gun clattered to the ground.Clinton didn't hesitate. He drove a knee into Jones' stomach, then followed up with a ruthless punch to his jaw. Jones stumbled back, vision blurring for half a second. It was
Chapter 45: The Counterstrike
The dust had barely settled, but Jones’ mind was already racing. Clinton had escaped, but he wasn’t gone. Not for long.He turned to his crew—Lexi, Dre, Victor, Leo, Jasmine, and the others—fifteen in total, all battered and bloodied, but their eyes still burned with resolve. The battlefield was theirs for now, but Clinton had made his move. He had vanished into the night, and Jones knew exactly what that meant.A strategic regroup. A counterstrike.Jones tapped his earpiece. “Leo, track Clinton. We need to know where he’s heading.”Leo, crouched over a downed enemy, wiped blood from his knuckles. “Already working on it.” He pulled a small device from his pocket, tapping rapidly. “He’s not going far. His people are still moving in the city. If I had to bet, he’s regrouping at one of his hideouts.”Jones turned to Dre. “How bad are we on supplies?”Dre exhaled. “Low on ammo. We’ve taken hits, but nothing fatal. We can still fight.”Jones nodded. “Good. Because this isn’t over.”His gri
Chapter 44: The Fall of a Giant
Jones’ breath was ragged, his ribs screaming in protest as he pushed himself up from the rubble-strewn floor. Blood trickled from his temple, blurring his vision. Clinton’s gun was still aimed at his head, the smirk on his face one of pure control."Game over," Clinton said again, voice laced with satisfaction.Jones wiped the blood from his lip and grinned. "You keep saying that."Then, all hell broke loose.A flash of movement.Lexi struck first, a dagger flying from her hand. Clinton swayed at the last second, the blade slicing just past his cheek, leaving a thin red line. He cursed, firing a shot—but Lexi was already rolling away, vanishing into the smoke.Jones didn’t hesitate. He lunged forward, slamming into Calhoun before he could fully recover from the last blow. They crashed to the ground, Jones’ knife aiming for the giant’s throat.Calhoun caught his wrist mid-air.Their eyes met—pure hatred burning between them.With a snarl, Calhoun twisted, flipping them both. Jones bare
Chapter 43: The Ambush
The air in Blackwood College was thick with tension, the kind that settles deep in the bones like the calm before a thunderstorm. The abandoned halls stretched like veins in a dying beast, silent and waiting for blood to be spilled.Jones crouched low against a crumbling column, gripping the cold steel of his knife. Across from him, Lexi, Dre, and Victor were poised, their breaths shallow, their eyes locked on their target.Calhoun.The behemoth stood in the middle of the old assembly hall, a battlefield carved out of history. He was a storm in himself—massive, unshaken, unbreakable. His men fanned out around him, oblivious to the noose tightening around their necks.Jones exhaled slowly. Showtime.He tapped the radio mic clipped to his collar, his voice a whisper in the darkness."Phase one. Execute."Plan A: The TrapFrom the shadows, Jasmine and Kayla struck first.A deafening boom ripped through the hall as pre-planted charges detonated, sending a cascade of debris crashing down t
Chapter 42: The War Council
Jones’ lungs burned as they sprinted into the night. Every breath came ragged, each step dragging his aching body closer to their only chance at survival.Blackwood College sprawled ahead—silent, eerie, a battlefield waiting to be claimed.Jones didn’t hesitate. “Inside. Now.”Dre shoved open the rusted doors of the abandoned library, its grand walls now draped in dust and decay. The group staggered in, barely holding themselves together. Blood dripped, breaths hitched, but they weren’t done.Not yet.Jones turned, locking eyes with Riley, Kayla, and Dre. “We call them. All of them.”Kayla, still clutching her ribs, frowned. “You sure?”“No other choice,” he said, voice like steel. “We either stand together—or we fall.”He grabbed the emergency radio from his jacket, twisting the frequency dial.Static crackled.Then—“Jones?” A voice, sharp and clear.Leo.Jones exhaled, tension easing. “It’s time. Get everyone. Blackwood Library. Now.”No hesitation. “We’re coming.”The radio buzzed
