When Claus uttered those words, the room fell silent, the air thick with tension. William's eyes widened slightly, disbelief and shock written across his face. Evan turned his gaze from the video in front of him, his eyes locking with Claus'. The two men stared at each other, neither saying a word, the air charged with the unspoken question: What now?Claus was the first to break the silence, his voice low and steady. “I already asked the teams to return to their training. And it has been an hour since that happened,”Evan's hands clenched tightly and a light sigh escaped his lips, “Wonderful,” He said, and Claus arched an eyebrow.“It looks like whoever sent him to kill Christel means business, and now that Davis refused to work with them… he got killed to erase any evidence,” Claus nodded and sighed too. William gazed at the two and stepped forward until he was standing beside Claus. “Sir, why don't we ask Christel what she remembered? Maybe, there might be a clue somewhere,” He
“I won't make it,” Evan clenched his hands tightly on the steering wheel as the traffic jam ahead wasn't making things easier for him. He glanced at the side mirror and noticed the cars behind him and the ones beside him. “Damn it!” He cursed angrily and turned off the engine. He looked around and then stepped out of the car, slamming it behind him.He gazed ahead, allowing the fresh breeze to brush against his cheeks. As Evan stared ahead calmly, his heart racing as he pressed his feet into the ground, gathering all of his energy into his left leg. Then, with a burst of speed, he shot forward, his legs propelling him forward like lightning. The people in the car were still waiting for the traffic to clear when a sudden rush of wind blew past them, making them look up in surprise. But by the time they turned their heads, Evan was gone.He sped through the streets, his destination clear in his mind.***A few minutes later, Evan stopped in front of the forest at the cliff. He loo
Evan watched from the side with a fix frown on his face as he watched Ezra walk up to the young boy and stood beside him. "What is she doing here?" He frowned as his gaze lingered on them. They went silent and didn't say much and after a minute or two, Ezra's body moved slightly as her hands went inside her purse.Evan closed his eyes and perked his ears up to listen to what they were saying. Remember, his limits had already broken through the human barrier and he was on par with a superhuman.And as such, he had super hearing and sharp eyesight, along with super speed and great strength!"Use this to save the old man. I will come over tomorrow and check up on him," Ezra said calmly as she handed over a bottle to the boy. "Is this..?" The boy's voice trailed off as his hands came into contact with the body. "Yes, and make sure to use it wisely. it cost me a fortune to get my hands on this medicine," Ezra cut in. The boy's body shook slightly with joy and he raised his head towards
Davis's eyes went wide in horror, his face paling as he struggled to look away from Evan. He gulped nervously as his eyes darted around. A terrifying aura radiated from Evan, making it difficult for Davis to breathe as he clutched his chest, trying to calm his racing heart. Meanwhile, Vera's face was also pale, but her eyes remained fixed on Evan’s cold temperament. She noticed a slight change in his appearance - he seemed taller, and more handsome, and his dark, curly hair had grown past his shoulders.‘When did this happen? Did Evan go through something peculiar?’ She felt a strange mix of fear and fascination as she watched him."What are you still doing here, Davis?" Evan's cold voice cut through the heavy air, jolting Davis from his frozen state. His eyes darted around nervously, searching for the right words to say."I-I thought you...," he stammered, trying to make sense of the situation."I asked him to stay here for a while," Vera interrupted. "I was worried you might b
Evan stood in front of the bar calmly with his two hands inside his pockets. His gaze lingered on the chained woman in front of him, whose body had some bruises and marks of wipings on her skin.“Lydia…” Evan's voice trailed off as he tried to make sense of what was before him. “Sir, is everything alright?” Worried, Claus asked. Davis stared at the two confused by their awkwardness. “What's going on? Who's over there?” He muttered as he continued to stretch his neck to see who it was, but due to Evan's height, he couldn't see who the woman was.“Nothing Claus,” Evan sighed lightly as he slowly closed his eyes to hide the confusion that was in them. Lydia Ackmar was Christel's cousin and was rumored to be bedridden due to an accident that took place 10 years ago when her family went out on a vacation. Ever since that day, the Ackmar family's business went down the drain and her family lost all the support they could get. And as though that wasn't enough, her mother had an affair
"Ahhhhhh!!!" A scream echoed throughout the cell causing all the prisoners( those who offended Evan and are being held captive and tortured to get information) in different cells to wake up with a start and glance at the direction the noise came from. "Sir Evan!" Claus's worried voice rang outside as he stepped forward to witness the gruesome scene in front of him. "Sir," He called out worriedly. Evan's left hand raised her and signaled to him that everything was okay, which prompted Claus to stop and step back with fear written boldly on his face."What was that noise?" Davis asked but Claus ignored his inquiries.Back in the cell, Evan roughly pulled off the arrow-like metal from the flesh burning beside him and glanced at Lydia's fearful expression."I will ask again... Why did you do that?" His cold voice sipped through her ears like invisible arrows.If the first time he asked the questions they didn't come with an effect, this time around... She was feeling the dread and te
It has been two days since the meeting and everything was going fine. There was no troubles or paparazzi sneaking around trying to gain information concerning Christel's kidnap."Ah! This is the type of fresh air I like!" Vera exclaimed excitedly as she alighted from the black Benz. "What about you Ezra? Do you like it here?" She turned her head to the direction Ezra was, and with a slight smile on her face, Ezra replied. "I love it here, Vera," She smiled, almost having an issue pronouncing Vera's name. A few hours ago, Vera had told Ezra not to call her mistress or speak with her in formalities, instead, she should call her by her name, and although Ezra didn't like that idea... she had no other choice than to do what she was asked to do. "That is great! Now let's rush in and unpack our clothes!" She beamed joyfully as she rushed towards the building before him that had three names imprinted on it.' Lush Rose Beach ' A day ago, Evan told that they would be going to the beach t
An intense atmosphere greeted the viewers as Evan, Claus, William, and Vera sat quietly in the living room. The so-called Vacation was cut short because of the news as Evan asked them to return home. Davis might need someplace to stay when he returns. However, on getting home they realized that he wasn't at the gate like they expected and they were confused by it …Until Davis called and said that he was heading to the so-called military base. He wanted to save his sister before Evan gathered his forces! “What should we do?” Vera asked breaking the intense atmosphere. She had stubbornly stayed back to discuss with them how to resolve the issue, and even when Evan asked that she leave with Ezra, Vera stood her ground. “We must contact Davis and ask that he return home. He can't go there alone and he might get himself arrested, or worse killed before he opens his mouth!” Claus said, clearly shocked at the fact that Davis was heading to the military base. That was the same place Ezra
