The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 19
The trio couldn't rid themselves of the unease deep in their bones, even as the festival carried on around them with the night far from over. The finding of the secret room and the unusual map sparked more inquiries than it provided solutions, causing Liam to ponder various possibilities. Lindy reached Liam, her face showing worry. "Liam, we must determine the significance of those red symbols." These might be locations where a significant event is occurring, potentially posing a threat to many individuals. Liam gave a nod, his mind spinning. "We must look into this matter, but we require assistance as we cannot tackle it single-handedly. We must use intelligence and be ready for any potential discoveries. Jordan, out of breath, joined the conversation. I believe we should begin by pinpointing those areas on the map. If we can identify the target, we may have a chance to prevent the upcoming threat. "Okay," Liam replied, his voice becoming more determined. "However, we must exerci
The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 20
Liam, Lindy, and Jordan met at the library early in the morning with determined expressions on their faces, as the sun had just started to rise. The atmosphere was tense with silent tension, as they all knew the events of the night before had started something that was now unstoppable.Liam spread out the map discovered in the secret room on the expansive oak table. The dimly lit room caused their tired minds to be tricked by the shadows. However, the red marks on the map were unmistakable, each one exuding a quiet danger. "We must determine the significance of these places," Liam whispered urgently. They have the potential to be various things - meeting locations, objectives, or sites for possible danger. Lindy leaned forward with a creased brow, tracing the marks with her finger. They are too widely spaced to seem haphazard. I sense a pattern, but I am unable to fully comprehend it. Jordan, who had unusually remained silent, suddenly piped up. What if they have connections with i

The sound of the figure's laughter reverberated in the vast expanse of the warehouse, causing the walls to appear to encroach on Liam and Lindy. The chilling words from the figure only made the oppressive atmosphere feel more intense, causing Liam's mind to go blank momentarily. However, the icy, measured gaze in Lindy's eyes brought him back to the real world. They were unable to let fear hold them back. Not at this moment. Liam moved forward with determination, intent on taking back control of the situation. "What is your identity?" "What is your intention towards us?" he asked, maintaining a calm tone despite the rush of adrenaline in his veins. The figure stayed quiet briefly, pondering whether to respond or not. Next, he emerged from the darkness, showing a familiar face that Liam knew very well. Mr. Harlow, one of the highly esteemed professors at the university, was the one. Liam's system was shocked by the revelation. "Is that Professor Harlow?" Lindy's voice contained both
The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 22
The evening following their close call at the warehouse, Liam, Lindy, and Jordan convened at Liam's apartment, feeling the gravity of their circumstances enveloping them like a dense fog. The excitement of the day had faded, leaving behind a feeling of fear and the true gravity of their situation. Professor Harlow was not a typical opponent. He possessed resources, connections, and the ability to manipulate individuals effortlessly. Liam was seated at the kitchen table, gazing at his laptop, with multiple files displayed on the screen. They took them from Harlow's office several weeks ago, without realizing the extent of the conspiracy at that time. They believed they were just revealing a situation of academic dishonesty. Now it was evident - it was far beyond that. "We must put all the pieces together," Liam stated, his voice full of tension. In order to bring down Harlow, we must pay attention to every single detail. All the evidence we've collected must point towards a concrete
The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 23
The event appeared normal again, but tensions were still prevalent. Liam, Lindy, and Jordan gathered closely around a tiny table at the campus café, sipping on their beverages. The night had been lengthy, and despite successfully avoiding the immediate threat, they were aware that the situation was far from over. "Okay, what should we do next?" While leaning back in his chair, Jordan inquired. He looked around the room, on the lookout for anything suspicious. Liam scowled while running his hand through his hair. Professor Harlow is determined and will not give in. He has been silent ever since the festival mishap, but I have a feeling he is strategizing his next action. Lindy drummed her fingers on the table, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "If Harlow is scheming, why don't we outsmart him?" We are familiar with his characteristics - he is a control freak who enjoys manipulating things behind the scenes. What if we compel him to come out into sight? Jordan shook his
The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 24
Following the tumultuous incidents at the festival and the meticulously planned gossip that was spreading across campus, the situation had slightly settled. However, Liam, Lindy, and Jordan could sense the tension simmering below the surface. They were aware that Professor Harlow would not let the situation go, so they just had to wait for him to take action. The group of three sat in front of the college library, savoring the warm afternoon sunshine. Lindy was engrossed in a textbook, but her thoughts were obviously elsewhere. Jordan reclined on the bench, half-closing his eyes, enjoying the warmth, while Liam sat at his laptop, pretending to be doing schoolwork but actually keeping an eye on the online gossip about their planted rumor. Lindy was the first to break the silence. "Alright, we have effectively convinced the entire campus that there is a hidden collaboration between professors and international criminal organizations." Her head shook and a smile formed on her lips. "It

As the night grew darker, the streetlights on the quiet campus flickered, creating long shadows. Liam observed the tree limbs swaying gently in the breeze from the edge of the campus park. He couldn't stop thinking about all that had transpired - Harlow's meeting in secret, the briefcase, and the startling discovery of a deeper conspiracy than expected. However, beneath the outer disorder, a deeper force was awakening inside him, something intimate. It had always existed—hidden beneath layers of insecurity, obscured by the self-assurance of his friends. He was known as the "silent one," the “well-behaved child,” the one who observed while others engaged in activities. However, that had been altered. In recent weeks, he found himself in the midst of a conflict that was causing him to awaken to a part of himself that he had never recognized. "Hello," a voice interrupted his train of thought. Lindy approached him, her arrival bringing a sense of comfort in contrast to the unsettling o
The Trampled Son's Awakening Chapter 26
The night had become quiet, with Liam, Lindy, and Jordan sitting in the dim light of their quickly drawn up plans, as if the world was pausing. On the table is a map of the campus, covered in notes and red circles indicating important places. This was the moment where things went from secret meetings to a full-blown confrontation. Liam's thoughts were racing, but unlike before, they were not filled with self-doubt. Something had changed within him upon waking up. This was not solely concerning Harlow or the organization he was employed by. It was about breaking apart the exact system that had kept him oppressed for years. The power systems that had not only destroyed him but also others similar to him. Tonight, they weren't simply retaliating - they were completely destroying the bases. Jordan bent down towards the map, pressing his finger on a specific location. "This office belongs to Harlow." This is our greatest opportunity to discover concrete proof. He is very suspicious, s

The period following the gathering at Father Michael's church was more peaceful than anticipated by everyone. Life continued on as though nothing was different, but deep down, everyone understood that it was far from finished. Liam and his group had gone back to their usual activities, but the assignment to take down Harlow stayed in their thoughts like an unshakeable burden. Returning to his full-time position at the mechanic shop, Liam took comfort in the routine of his job. While his hands focused on repairing vehicles, his thoughts consistently returned to the unusual sense of tranquility. It seemed too perfect to be real, and Liam sensed an approaching storm. While the rest had gone their separate ways, the group remained connected through secret messages and occasional, low-key gatherings. Their facade of normality was just a temporary shield; they were all aware it wouldn't endure. Harlow had moved back into the darkness, his existence on the property a menacing danger. His

The night had dragged on, tense and uncertain, but now the morning sun bathed the town in a gentle, golden glow. After the close encounter with Harlow last night, everyone was completely drained - physically, emotionally, and mentally. They had successfully avoided a catastrophe, for the time being, but the task was not yet complete. Although Liam, Jordan, and Rachel successfully returned from Harlow's estate, they were unable to bring back his whole family. Some stayed faithful to Harlow, while some were too scared to go. The victory was tenuous at most. Father Michael convened one last gathering at the church before everyone went their separate ways. The room was a mix of relief and anxiety, with the understanding that this was not yet finished. Father Michael started by expressing his gratitude to everyone in the room for their courage. He looked at every person - Liam, Jordan, Lindy, Rachel, Principal Dawson, and Elena, who was forgiven for her role as a spy for Harlow. "W

The atmosphere in the room was tense following Harlow's son's abrupt entrance with his urgent message. The pale and trembling boy held onto Lindy, who tried to reassure him. Liam, Jordan, and Father Michael shared solemn expressions, feeling the gravity of the situation pressing down on them. "What precise words did your father use?" Jordan inquired with a hushed and pressing tone. The boy, struggling to control his fear, stumbled over his words, saying, "He... he's mad." He is aware that you are all uniting against him. He is scheming a major project. I... I listened to him speaking with his soldiers. "He's on his way to get you."Liam could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He looked around the room, observing the worried expressions on his friends' faces. They were together, but the signs of discord were already starting to appear. Seated in a corner, Elena appeared pale and distant. She had been providing Harlow with information, possibly for sabotage or to ensure survival.

Father Michael's words weighed heavily in the air, just like a dark and ominous storm cloud. Liam felt his heart pounding in excitement as he glanced at Elena, then returned his gaze to the priest. He couldn't stop thinking: Did Father Michael have hidden information, or was he just echoing the rumors they were already thinking about? The group remained immobile, each member contemplating the arrival of the priest, uncertain if it was a gift or a punishment. Father Michael, a man known for his peaceful demeanor and astute insights, had served as a spiritual mentor in the community for many years. However, his mere existence now held an unsettling heaviness. "Is it true?" Lindy shattered the quietness with her sharp voice, slicing through the tense atmosphere. Who is responsible for disseminating them? And for what reason at this moment? Father Michael moved ahead, his aged face clouded with worry. I've learned information during confession that makes me think Harlow's influ

The sun was just starting to rise, spreading a soft orange light over the town, yet inside Liam's house, tension hung thick in the air. The occurrences from the night before were significantly impacting everyone's thoughts. Harlow's unexpected vanishing, Naomi's mysterious actions, and the unsettling possibility of someone in their group being deceitful. Liam, Lindy, Jordan, along with some fresh faces in their group, gathered in Liam's living room, their expressions showing worry. They were now more than just students handling campus problems. This had evolved into something much more threatening - something that could drive them away from each other. Liam walked back and forth in the room, feeling the burden of leadership weighing heavily on him. He realized with a sense of urgency that someone could be providing information to Harlow. The question remains: who could it possibly be? "Are we actually going to continue to act as if there are no problems?" Lindy at last opened

The moon's low position in the sky created eerie shadows over the silent town as Harlow walked towards the isolated house on the edges. Indoors, the lighting was low, yet it provided a slightly eerie glow to the surroundings. This was his safe haven - a distant retreat from the curious gazes of the town, the school, and all those who believed they grasped who he truly was. When he got home, Harlow found his wife Naomi sitting in the living room. Her usual grace and composure were replaced by a stern expression and piercing gaze as she looked at him tonight. She calmly mentioned you were tardy, staying seated. Their kids, Claire and Jacob, were upstairs, probably already in dreamland. Or, at the very least, that's the belief they hoped she would adopt. Harlow took off his coat, his thoughts filled with the school and his upcoming plans. "I had some matters to attend to.” Naomi's lips formed a tight line. "Commerce." "Correct." She spoke with a hint of contempt in her voice. Is your

Liam was positioned in the middle of the room, sensing the gaze of all present upon him. The tension increased with the arrival of Peter, Eleanor, Father Matthews, Principal Hayes, Daisy, and now Lily. Trust had already been fragile, but with each new person, it appeared to crumble even more. He shared a look with Lindy, who was keeping a close eye on Daisy. The doubt she had sown in his mind bothered him. "Okay," Principal Hayes stated, interrupting the tense quietness. We require a strategy. We are eagerly anticipating Harlow's next move. We need to take initiative. With his arms still folded, Peter nodded in approval. "We must ensure the safety of the students. Locate the mole and eliminate any potential dangers before the situation worsens.Eleanor moved ahead, speaking to the room. The festival marked only the start. If Harlow has larger plans, we must determine the specifics and identify his accomplices. Father Matthews, who had been silently watching the group, spoke in a ca

Soft golden hues were cast across the room as morning sunlight filtered through the cabin curtains. The tension remained heavy like a lingering fog despite the uneventful night. While the group woke up, a tense tranquility filled the air. Huddled in a armchair next to the window, Lindy observed Liam quietly making coffee, his mind still weighed down by thoughts from the previous evening. Sarah and Mark, parents of the person, sought shelter in the tiny guest bedroom, quietly discussing their worries until the early hours. Their being there, though reassuring, carried an odd heaviness. It brought to mind for Lindy the shared responsibility they now had - it wasn't only about the festival or Harlow. It was about a more profound issue, something that had been developing long before the chaos started. Upon entering the room, the scent of fresh coffee lingered as Daisy confidently walked in, disrupting the quiet atmosphere. Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone is feeling a bit better

As the group exited the vehicle, they were greeted by the cool and refreshing air surrounding the cabin. The diminishing sunlight from the sunset created a cozy atmosphere on the cabin with wood paneling, surrounded by tall trees. It seemed secure, isolated, and distant from the turmoil they had experienced in recent days. Liam assisted Jordan in extracting Carl from the car, his body hanging useless due to fatigue. They led him cautiously towards the cabin, while Lindy followed behind, keeping a close watch to make sure no one was following them. Upon entering, they were welcomed by the familiar fragrance of old pine and dust, evoking memories of countless summers Lindy's family had enjoyed at the location. It had been years since she visited the cabin, yet it still felt like home in a strangely comforting manner. "Let's help Carl get comfortable," Jordan suggested as he directed him to the aged leather sofa in the corner of the room. He promptly seized the medical kit that Lindy
