Chapter 210SARAH'S POINT OF VIEW As the sun descended, it painted the city with a gentle golden light. A feeling of peace swept through me without any conscious effort. The battles and dangers that once consumed me now existed only in memories from the past. The secret organization that threatened my most cherished things dissolved, and I reclaimed my previous way of life.I smiled and breathed deeply while my fingers grazed the desk's smooth surface. My businesses flourished while my team remained resilient, but above all else, I had Jervis. I felt a deep ache in my heart about the amazing distance we had covered together. After experiencing so many hardships together, we finally reached a place where we could simply exist."How do you feel?" Jervis asked his question while maintaining a gentle and caring tone in his voice.I looked at him and noticed his dark eyes were focused on mine. A newfound depth appeared in his eyes, which showed a trust that had been absent before. This ex

CHAPTER 209Sarah's Point of View!I couldn’t believe it. The recent years had unfolded as an unending nightmare, but I was finally free from it. The secret society had been destroyed, and the battle, which demanded numerous lives and emotional sacrifices, came to an end.The lobby of Heaven Hospital witnessed my realization of the massive changes that time had brought. My initial urge to help small things had expanded into a mission that far exceeded my expectations.“Sarah,” Blake interrupted my thoughts with his voice and brought me back to reality. By the entrance, Blake stood holding a tablet, wearing his usual serious expression. The burden of our experiences remained visible on his shoulders.“What is it?” I questioned while attempting to clear the fog from my mind.When Blake passed me the tablet, I noticed a Flint Pharmaceuticals report displayed on its screen. The company successfully avoided trouble at this time, but we had to implement measures to prevent similar events fr

CHAPTER 208SARAH MOON'S POINT OF VIEW The last mission was hard. Too hard. I stand amidst the remnants of the secret society’s headquarters and experience an odd sense of relief. I convince myself that everything is finished, although smoke still lingers in the air while the structure remains intact only through sheer luck.Our final task remains for the team and me to complete. One final piece of evidence. The puzzle remains incomplete without this final piece. We can’t afford to leave anything behind. They can’t be allowed to rise again.The silence around me lets me hear my own breathing. The silence feels eerie now that we've experienced so much."Sarah, over here!" Jack’s voice abruptly brings me back to reality.My eyes shift towards him, who is already positioned at the debris pile. The flashlight attached to Jack starts to flicker when he moves through the debris. The flickering light produces strange shadows on the walls, which make the atmosphere more disturbing.As I appr

CHAPTER 207SARAH MOON'S POINT OF VIEW The surrounding walls seemed to press against us as though they were closing in. The security systems hummed in my ears while every alarm within my mind screamed louder than the one I stood on the brink of activating. I was ready. My heart pounded in my chest, but I stood my ground. Not now. We were this close to completing all our initiated tasks, and yet we weren’t finished. Tonight marked the end for the secret society, or our end. Under no circumstances would I allow this to become my second option.The group maintained silence throughout the last several minutes. The silence surrounded us as though we were all mentally getting ready for the approaching storm we'd face.I murmured, “Is everyone clear on their tasks?” as my query carried more significance than just procedural formality. We had invested too much effort to let this mission fail now.My most trusted ally and the person who had always supported me gave me a strong affirmation wit

CHAPTER 206SARAH MOON'S POINT OF VIEW I knew it was coming. The endgame. This critical moment will determine whether all our efforts succeed or fail. With the failsafe removed, our only option became a direct confrontation with our adversaries. I felt the weight in my chest knowing that we stood one final step away from destroying the secret society forever.As the team assembled, I heard the gentle buzz that filled the war room. Blake conducted discussions with his team members while managing connections with international law enforcement organizations. We assembled all available experts to ensure that no aspect of our operation was overlooked. It had to be perfect.The clock on the wall showed its ticking to me while the seconds slowly passed away, bringing us nearer to the upcoming battle. The plan was set. We aimed to dismantle the entire secret society structure by targeting all their networks and operations as well as their leaders. We planned to destroy everyone connected wit

CHAPTER 205 SARAH MOON'S POINT OF VIEW The clock was ticking. Each passing second felt as if I were receiving a blow to my chest. The system's low hum resonated through the chilly walls while the blinking red lights on the control panel quickened my heartbeats.Leo quietly said, "Time is running out," as he stood beside the door, gripping his gun tightly.My mind was spinning. Two options—both risky, both dangerous. Shutting down the failsafe would alert the secret society to our location. Or... I had the ability to find a different approach to get around the system, but this route would take additional time, leaving us vulnerable."Sarah... what are we doing?" Ethan asked, voice shaking. The condition of my team was clear as I saw their bruised bodies and their worn-out faces filled with fear. All of them had chosen to enter this nightmare alongside me without hesitation. They were my responsibility. Breathe, Sarah.I shut my eyes briefly to block out the throbbing pain in my hea

Chapter 210The Celestial Nexus was bathed in a gentle golden glow as the sun was just starting to rise.The air was light without fear or battle for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. It felt... motionless. The stillness was almost overwhelming.Lucia watched the throng of people gathered below from the edge of the opulent courtyard.The fae, witches, werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural groups had all arrived.Some of her old foes had also arrived. The sound of whispered conversations, some cautious, some hopeful, was audible to her.The air was warm, but her hands felt cold. Trying to get rid of the nerves that were accumulating in her chest, she balled her fingers into fists. She forced a shaky breath out and muttered under her breath, "Everyone's watching."Nero came up behind her, his steps light but firm. His voice was quiet as he said, "You're trembling."She merely smiled slightly without turning. "It's nothing.""Lucia..." There was something more i

Chapter 209The atmosphere was tense as Lucia stood at the edge of the Celestial Nexus.Life throbbed in the Nexus, a place of whirling energies and glistening lights. It was the center of their universe, the source of harmony and balance.Nero clenched his fist beside her, his gaze sweeping the horizon. They were both aware that Alessandro Stellini would not be alone when he arrived."Are we prepared for this?" Nero's query was barely audible above a murmur.Lucia inhaled deeply as she felt the burden of accountability. "We have to be," she said. "The stakes are too high."Dark clouds gathered overhead as if on cue, obscuring the landscape with menacing shadows. As Alessandro's forces approached, the ground shook beneath their feet.Nero raised his sword and muttered, "Here they come."Feeling her divine energy surge through her veins, Lucia called it forth. She gave Nero a comforting nod as she looked at him. "Remain near. Together, we battle."With vile eyes, the first wave of adve

Chapter 208Lucia stood staring at the group in front of her as the sun sank below the horizon, bathing the ancient temple in a warm glow.A group of young people waited for her to speak, their eyes wide with interest and a hint of nervousness."Welcome," Lucia said in a soft but firm voice. "Each of you has a special gift, a sight beyond the norm, which is why you are here. Our beloved seer Valeria is no longer with us, but her legacy lives on in you.Elara, a young woman, moved uneasily among the group. She had always been able to sense things that others couldn't hints of things that hadn't yet happened.She felt both honored and overwhelmed to be in front of the renowned Lucia now.Lucia saw Elara's discomfort, and her eyes softened. She looked directly at Elara while addressing the group, saying, "It's natural to feel uncertain." "Embracing your abilities is a journey that calls for trust and courage."Nero nodded in agreement as he stood next to Lucia. He revealed, "I was afraid

Chapter 207Under Nero's boots, the ground continued to hum. It was lighter, but not quiet, as if something had shattered and was still falling apart.The battlefield was silent around him, Lucia's final blow extinguished the last remnants of Kalyndria's sinister magic, which flickered like dying embers.His gaze strayed to Lucia as he dabbed at the perspiration on his forehead. She stood a few feet away, her chest rising and falling quickly, her face pale. Something darker than blood stained her hands, which trembled at her sides."Are you okay?" With a low voice that was sharp enough to cut through the silence, Nero asked.Lucia gave him a nod without turning to face him. "I'm all right," she whispered. However, the rigidity in her shoulders conveyed a different message."Are you certain about that?"She clenched her jaw. "We need to do more work."With a sigh, Nero closed the distance between them, walking over broken ground and splintered stones. "Yes, there is always."Faint murm

Chapter 206Above the Celestial Nexus, clouds swirled like enraged smoke in a deep red sky.The ground crackled under Lucia Roselli's feet as she stood in the center of the mayhem.The raw, untamed power that was now pulsing through her veins caused her hands to shake, not out of fear.She sensed Dante's presence.She still remembered his last breath, His voice reverberated within her, simultaneously gentle and piercing, Every burst of vitality reminded her of what he sacrificed for her to stand here.Just before everything burst into light, he had whispered, "Lucia, don't waste it."Eldrin's shadow loomed across the battlefield, his dark eyes now fixed on her. Kalyndria grinned next to him, her golden hair wild and tangled. They both exuded confidence, as if they had already won.Wiping her mouth, Lucia tasted blood. Her knees wanted to give out, but she was propelled forward by something inside of her that wasn't totally her own.From behind, Nero yelled, "Lucia, resist their allure

Chapter 205A hidden glade surrounded by ethereal light awaited those who sought its wisdom in the center of the ancient forest, where tall trees whispered secrets of long ago.Valeria's spirit lingered in this hallowed location, unaffected by time, constrained by fate and prophecy.Exhausted from their journey, Lucia and Nero shoved through the dense foliage to enter the clearing.The smell of blooming wildflowers and moss filled the cool air, A weathered but sturdy stone altar with a gentle, welcoming glow stood in the middle."Do you think this is it?" With a hint of wonder in her voice, Lucia whispered.Nero nodded as he looked around. "It fits the description. Valeria's spirit must reside here.Lucia inhaled deeply and walked toward the altar, her fingers grazing its cool surface. "Valeria," she called softly, "we need your advice."Only the rustling leaves responded for a brief moment, Then a glowing figure appeared above the altar, rising from the ground like mist. Valeria's se
