Beyond the betrayal Chapter 96
The next day came in no time, and the students who had been preparing their minds to go on the Dungeon Expedition were greeted with the most shocking news. “The Dungeon Expedition has been put on an indefinite hiatus.” As Grandmaster Conrad said this, surprise swept across the faces of all the students. As usual, he was accompanied by both Brutus and Lucielle, and his attire was regal. However, the forlorn expression he had was new. Never before had anyone seen Grandmaster Conrad so serious or anxious. The same grave disappointment echoed on Lucielle and Brutus' faces. In contrast, however, the twenty-eight students reacted differently to the announcement. Some were relieved that the Expedition was canceled—either due to the fear of going there, or the prospect of spending the day exploring the town. Other students, mostly boys with a few girls like Trisha among them, appeared disappointed upon hearing the news. They had likely been looking forward to fighting real Monster

It all happened the previous day.The moment Rey left the KariBlanc Group’s building with Noah, he got a congratulatory message from the System.[Congratulations! You Have Advanced To A New Class]‘E-eh?!’ Rey was initially startled by the whole thing, but since he was wearing a mask, no one could see the stupefied expression he made.He was really thankful for that.‘But what does this mean?’Only the user of a System could see or interact with their System Messages. As such, despite being out in the open, only Rey could see the notification before him.[Congratulations! Your Class ‘Enigma’ has been advanced to ‘Elite Enigma’ due to the wealth and strength you possess]‘A Class called Enigma?’ It was the first that Rey had heard of it, but since he was in the middle of the street—right within the Black Market—Rey decided to set the matter aside for the time being.‘I’ll check it out once I return to my room…’And so he did.After returning to his room, Rey opened his Status Window.

The students—or rather, Otherworlders—understood what was expected of them.As they all stood in the gladiator ring, different thoughts were going on in their respective minds.What kinds of monsters would they fight? Would they be tough opponents? Would it be dangerous?Naturally, some were scared. However, most were thrilled by the upcoming challenge.They were confident that none of their instructors would let anything bad happen to them.Their lives weren’t at risk at all.Among the eager participants was Rey, buzzing with excitement for two main reasons.One, he wanted to see how his Class would give him extra Stats after Leveling Up.‘I’m very close, so I should be able to hit Level 20 today…’Then, there was the second reason.‘I want to see how everyone does in this practical exercise…’They had never fought monsters during training, so this would be a new experience for most of the people gathered in the massive field.‘How will they handle it? What strategies will they use?

After Adonis’ display, no one showed fear anymore.They couldn’t, even if they wanted to. The immense power that the Hero displayed was enough to inspire many.It spurred even the most timid among them to step forward, eager to join the battle and slash through the monsters.“We’re not gonna let you have all that EXP, Adonis!”“Haha! Here I come as well!”“Save some of that EXP for us! Only God knows what Level you’re on now!”“Hehehe! I can’t wait!”As these words flew from his classmates' mouths, Rey couldn’t help but smile. He observed Adonis stepping back from the newly summoned monsters.‘He’s going to give everyone a chance to Level Up now. How thoughtful of him…’Adonis had taken charge in the first round, claiming all the kills, but his motive was pure: he wanted to help inspire the class.He must have thought that by doing something so radical, he would spur the rest to let go of the strings of hesitation that held them back.Everyone would be willing to fight!‘And it worked

After the training session wrapped up, the students scattered in different directions. Rey found himself strolling alongside Alicia, while Trisha had wandered off to chat with her friends.‘Thank goodness,’ he almost sighed in relief.As they made their way back to their Living Quarters, a familiar voice called out to both of them. "Rey, Alicia! Great job today!"Rey recognized the voice but turned back to see the person behind it. It was none other than Adonis. Beside him stood Belle, waving gently with her signature cute smile.“I’m proud of you guys.” He seemed to genuinely mean what he said, but Rey couldn’t help but feel anger rising in his chest.‘You leveled up nine times in just an hour, you bastard! Don’t give me that!’Despite feeling the urge to punch Adonis, Rey managed to control himself. ‘What kind of past life did this guy have to be so—’ he started to wonder, but Adonis interrupted his thoughts.‘I'm heading to training now, so I thought Belle could accompany you g

Belle was a sociopath.Ever since she was young, she had known what was right and wrong, but it never really mattered to her.What she cared about most was what suited her best. Despite this, she wore a mask that showed others the perfect person they wanted to see.She made tons of friends, and she had very few enemies. The few that she had—those who were able to see beyond her facade—were dealt with promptly.Of course, she had never killed anyone, but there was more than one way to ruin a person.Belle’s experience in High School was pretty much the same.However, despite her prim and proper behavior and her obvious appeal, she couldn’t get past two social walls that stood far taller than her.Alicia and Adonis.These two were the most popular in their class, as well as part of the most popular students in school.It annoyed her.It irked Belle to her core that she couldn’t triumph over them.She could not beat Alicia in looks, and Adonis had a more authentic personality than she

Rey was still reeling from shock after the intense events he had just experienced.He touched his face and remembered how the crazy girl known as Belle kept poking him and laughing about it.“She’s completely crazy…” Rey murmured, his eyes wide with surprise.‘If I wasn’t careful, I would have completely fallen under her spell. That’s too dangerous!’Back then, when she was moving closer to him, his [Danger Sense] Skill kept sending warning alarms to him.Rey was so glad he listened.In a quick move, he used [Blindness] to shut off his eyes and [Grand Sound Magic] to ensure his ears wouldn’t hear a single thing that Belle said.Since he knew the conditions for activating [Grand Charm], a Skill he already had, it wasn’t too difficult to avoid it.It wasn’t until his [Danger Sense] died down that he deactivated his [Blindness] and allowed her words to be audible again.Thinking quickly, he used the [Mimic] Skill to replicate Alicia’s glowing eyes and his Class privilege let him fake the

Training continued as usual the following day.Each morning, there was a short training session lasting a few hours. Afterward, the students had a long break before heading to the Grand Stage for their battle with monsters.This new schedule was designed to help each student grow effectively.The training was for them to acclimate to their new Levels, which meant more advanced or prolonged use of their abilities.The practical sessions were where they put this training to the test, grinding Levels through battling Monsters.By around 1:00 PM, they were usually done with everything, leaving the rest of the day free for their own activities.Some spent it in the Town, exploring more in the market, or just taking strolls around.Others chose to remain in their rooms or enjoy the grandeur of the Royal Capital.Some spent it training and trying to improve themselves.There was one who spent her time in the Library.However, of all the twenty-eight students, one existed who didn’t fit into

Anna's POV The world had watched Freddie Markson’s death unfold, but now, the world had moved on.His empire had crumbled, his enemies had been silenced, and those who remained knew better than to challenge the ones who had orchestrated it all. Anna and Dorian had won—not just their freedom, but the power to shape their own future.They settled into a life neither had ever dared to dream of.A Life Without FearThe estate that once belonged to Freddie was now theirs, though they had stripped it of anything that reminded them of its former owner. The rooms had been redecorated, the walls painted in lighter tones, the heavy, oppressive air of its previous life erased.Dorian had taken control of Freddie’s financial network, diverting assets, cutting ties with anyone who had been a liability. The wealth was staggering—far more than they could ever need. But it wasn’t about the money. It was about never having to run again.And for the first time in years, Anna felt safe.She spent her d

Anna's POV The world was watching.The chaos erupted within minutes.Freddie Markson was dead.The sprawling estate, once filled with laughter and murmurs of power, now buzzed with panic. Security flooded the halls, hushed conversations turning into frantic whispers as news spread like wildfire. Guests clutched their champagne glasses, some gasping, others exchanging knowing glances—men and women who had spent their lives in high-stakes deals, familiar with the consequences of power plays gone wrong.No one knew what had happened. Not yet.But they would soon.And that was why Dorian moved quickly.He had infiltrated the wedding unnoticed, slipping in through the mass of high-profile guests, blending into the sea of tailored suits and designer dresses. He had watched everything—Anna on Freddie’s arm, the way she smiled at him, the way she played her part so well it made Dorian’s blood boil. He had clenched his jaw through every toast, every scripted glance, every sickening display of

The world was watching.Hundreds of guests filled the sprawling estate, their laughter mingling with the soft notes of a grand piano. The ballroom itself was a masterpiece—vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate gold detailing, chandeliers dripping with crystals that refracted the warm glow of candlelight. Outside, the vast gardens were illuminated with soft lanterns, casting long shadows over the manicured hedges and reflecting pools. Waiters in crisp white jackets wove through the crowd, balancing silver trays laden with vintage champagne, caviar, and delicate amuse-bouches.The guest list read like a who’s who of power—Hollywood elite, Wall Street titans, political dynasties, and foreign dignitaries. They moved through the estate like chess pieces, each conversation laced with subtle negotiations and whispered alliances. Tonight wasn’t just about a wedding—it was a spectacle, an orchestrated display of power.And at the center of it all stood Freddie Markson and Anna.The cameras n

Dorian’s POVDorian woke to cold sheets.At first, he thought that Anna was in the shower or making coffee. But the apartment was silent—too silent. His gut twisted. He reached across the sheets, finding them cool to the touch.For a moment, he lay still, his mind sluggish with sleep, but then it hit him—Sophia was gone. She had taken advantage of the night and slipped out.He slept late which was what had made him wake up late as well. He knew it was futile to search for her on foot since she'd have had a wide head start. His heart pounded as he threw back the covers and sat up. The apartment was silent. Too silent. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand and dialed her number. It went straight to voicemail.He tried again. Nothing.Panic gnawed at his insides as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood, scanning the dimly lit room. Her things were still here—her shoes by the door, her jacket draped over the chair. But she wasn’t.Moving quickly, he checked the front do

The wind roared around me as the private jet touched down on a long, isolated runway. I had barely spoken since Viktor led me aboard. Part of me still couldn’t believe I had agreed to this. The USB drive he’d given me burned in my pocket, but I hadn’t dared to look at it. Not yet. Not until I knew exactly what I was stepping into.As the plane taxied to a stop, Viktor unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to me. “This is your last chance to turn back.”I met his gaze. “You and I both know that’s not an option.”His jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He stood and grabbed his coat, nodding for me to follow. The moment we stepped off the plane, a sleek black car was waiting for us, the driver already holding the door open.I slid into the backseat, my fingers curling into my lap as Viktor settled in beside me. The moment the door shut, the car moved forward, gliding through the night.The estate was massive. Iron gates loomed ahead, the emblem on them gleaming under the dim security lights.
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 127
The fear never left me. It clung to my skin, wrapped around my throat and sat heavy in my chest. I told myself I was strong, that I had survived worse, but the truth was, I was exhausted.Every night, I laid awake listening to Dorian’s steady breathing. I imagined them finding us, breaking down the door, dragging us back into the nightmare we had barely escaped. I imagined what they’d do to us.After a while I couldn’t live like this anymore. I knew what I had to do.I waited until Dorian was asleep. He always slept light, but exhaustion had finally caught up to him. It was the only chance I’d get.I moved carefully, easing out from under the blanket, barely breathing as I pulled on my coat. My heart pounded so hard I was sure it would wake him. My boots were by the door. I slipped them on, then hesitated. My fingers hovered over the doorknob.If I left now, there was no turning back.I stepped out into the night.The cold bit at my skin as I pulled my coat tighter, shoving my hands i

Anna’s POV“You need to be checked, Anna. We don’t know—”“No,” I cut him off, shaking my head. “We don’t know who we can trust.”Dorian clenched his jaw no doubt frustrated by my stubbornness but I wasn't going to back down.We were arguing once more about going to the hospital. I knew that he was right and I ought to but the facility had been relentless in hunting us down. We had no way of knowing who was still looking and who might recognize me. A simple doctor’s visit could be the mistake that led them straight to us.Instead, I focused on listening to my body, trusting what little instinct I had. The nausea came and went, and a strange sort of awareness settled in my bones. It wasn’t just me anymore.Dorian was torn. I saw it in the way his hands hovered near me, as if he wanted to shield me from everything but didn’t know how. He tightened security around us, changing our routines. No more walking the same routes, no more visits to the same markets or shops. He made sure the apa
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 125
Anna's POV The highway stretched endlessly before us so much that I wondered if it would end. The sound of the engine was the only noise we heard as we crossed another nameless border under stolen identities. Dorian kept his hands tight on the wheel, his jaw clenched. There were so many things I wanted to talk to him about but I was content for the moment with watching the road signs blur past, my fingers tapping anxiously against my thigh.Neither of us spoke because we didn’t need to. We both understood what was happening. Our old lives and everything as we had known it were gone. The facility, the experiments, Reinhardt. Everything we had run from was behind us. But the thought of them was hard to let go off.I closed my eyes, but the moment I did, flashes of the lab burned behind my lids. I remembered being trapped on the cold metal table. The scalpel in my hands and the guard’s blood seeping between my fingers.I jolted upright, gasping and saw Dorian hovering above me. "Nigh
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 124
Anna's POV "You were meant to be an experiment," Dr. Reinhardt said to me leaning over to emphasise his words.I wondered what I had done to warrant the attention of this mad German scientist. I knew though that it had to be because of Dorian mixing up with the wrong crowd.The heavy door behind Reinhardt hissed open and a guard in a black uniform stepped in and Reinhardt nodded toward me."Prepare her for transport."I yanked at the restraints with all the strength I could summon. I wasn’t going to let them win like this.The guard moved closer and just then the lights flickered.The sudden dimming made Reinhardt pause and looked up at the overhead lamps which buzzed as if it was struggling for power. Then, in a blink, red emergency lights flooded the room.A low alarm groaned through the facility and the pitch kept increasing.Something was wrong.Reinhardt’s expression tightened as he turned toward the guard. "Find out what—"~BOOM!!!~The entire room shook and dust rained down
