Beyond the betrayal Chapter 97
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

‘Ah… I see. So that’s how it is…’Rey smiled as he stared at his opponent.Even though his eyes were on the BigFoot-like creature, his senses also observed the ceiling where it fell from.‘There are more of them lurking above.’ Rey couldn’t see them even if he tried. There was a reason he hadn’t detected any until this one landed to confront him.‘A Camouflage Skill, maybe? Interesting…’ These creatures were masters of blending into their environment, making them nearly impossible to detect unless someone paid close attention.‘Even now, I can only detect their movements due to the sound they make and slight distortions they cause in space.’He still couldn’t see them properly.‘I already have [Stealth], which basically allows me to be invisible. But I guess this isn’t too bad either.’ When Rey raised his head and studied the Skill, he figured that the camouflage ability would be more than enough for it to be registered by [Doppel].He sighed softly and turned his attention back to

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

Sophia's POV Before I could react, hands grabbed me from behind, yanking me backward. I thrashed around but they were too strong. A sharp sting burst across my skull as someone struck me, my vision blurring with pain."Dorian—" I barely managed before they forced me down.I caught a glimpse of him fighting, moving like a blur—until a taser’s electric crackle filled the air. His body convulsed, muscles locking up as he collapsed.“Dorian!”A thick bag was shoved over my head, muffling my scream. Then—darkness.When I came to, my head throbbed like I’d been hit by a freight train. My body was heavy, sluggish. I tried to move, but resistance met me—straps. Thick, unyielding. My wrists, my ankles, even my torso were pinned to a cold metal table.Panic surged through me. My breath came in ragged gasps as my mind raced. Where was I? Where was Dorian?Footsteps. Slow, deliberate.A shadow passed over me, the dim overhead light shifting. Then, a voice—smooth, practiced, unsettling.“Anna.”
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 122
Anna's POV The train rocked gently as it sped through the tunnels and Dorian and I were pressed into a corner near the doors, heads down as we tried to blend in. My heart was still beating rapidly as I was jittery from what we had gone through.Across the car, a man in a dark jacket shifted slightly, glancing at his phone. I stiffened. Was he watching us? Or was my paranoia getting the best of me?Dorian must have noticed my tension because he leaned in, voice low. “Stay calm. If they had people on the train, we’d know by now.”I nodded, but the tension coiled in my chest refused to ease. The train rattled through the tunnels, fluorescent lights flickering overhead. Everything felt like a threat and I hated how jumpy I felt, not that I could help it.Dorian’s grip on my wrist tightened—a silent reassurance. “Breathe,” he murmured.The man in the dark jacket stood, heading for the next car. I tracked his movements until he disappeared.Still, the unease remained.“We need to get off
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 121
Anna's POV The neon light of the rundown motel flickered as Dorian parked the motorcycle behind the building, out of sight from the main road. My legs were shaking as I came down, barely catching myself before my knees gave out. Every muscle in my body ached, but I forced myself to move. We couldn’t rest yet.Dorian scanned the empty lot, his sharp eyes searching for threats. When he was satisfied we weren’t being followed, he gestured for me to follow. The motel’s chipped paint and broken sign told me everything I needed to know—no security cameras, no questions asked.Inside, the air smelled of stale cigarettes and mildew. The receptionist barely glanced at us as Dorian handed over cash, securing a key without a word. He didn’t ask how long we’d stay, and I was grateful for that.The moment we stepped into the room, I locked the door and sagged against it, pressing my forehead to the cold wood. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving only exhaustion and the lingering terror of how
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 120
Anna's POVThe cold night air was too much for me as we ran past Berlin’s darkened alleys. The city lights were particularly bright but we kept to the shadows so we wouldn't be seen.My heart pounded as I ran but I kept moving. Dorian’s grip on my hand was firm, pulling me forward, guiding me as if he could sense the safest paths.We barely spoke, just exchanged quick glances as we wove through the streets. Dorian tried calling the organization’s emergency line, his jaw tightening when no one answered. A second call. Nothing. The third went straight to voicemail. He cursed under his breath. We were on our own.The weight of that realization pressed down on me. Whoever had attacked us knew exactly where we were. They had planned this. And now, with our protectors possibly dead, we had no backup. No weapons. No safe place to go. I shuddered as I feared what they'd do if they caught us. A distant shout echoed behind us, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. My stomach twisted. The

Dorian's POV That night, as soon as we were alone in the hotel room, words became unnecessary as we rushed at each other. The tension and the raw emotions that had been simmering beneath my skin all burst free the moment I kissed her. Anna melted into me, her fingers threading through my hair as if afraid I would disappear.I wasn’t sure if this was real or some cruel illusion, but I didn’t care. She was warm, solid, alive—and that was all that mattered.We spent the night tangled together, whispering each other’s names and relearning the feel of one another’s bodies. Every touch was urgent, every kiss desperate, as if making up for lost time. And when exhaustion finally claimed us, I held her close, unwilling to let go even in sleep.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting golden patterns on the bed. Anna stirred beside me, her bare skin warm against mine. I watched her face for a moment, memorizing the peaceful rise and fall of her breathing, the way

Dorian's POV I stared uninterestedly at the runway as the plane shuddered to a stop, and the seatbelt sign dings off. I stood up, unbuckled and lurched forward, only to be stopped by the wall of bodies cramming the aisle and I was almost pushed over.I scowled deeply when people began yanking their bags from the overhead compartments like it was a race, the same way Americans did. It was everything different from what I thought Germany to be.Someone’s backpack swung dangerously close to my face and I ducked. I gripped the armrest, exhaling through my nose as I waited for the madness of the economy class to die down.I glanced at my phone—no signal yet. The flight attendant was smiling that tired, practiced smile, reminding us to be orderly. No one listened. The line inched forward, the guy ahead of me struggling with an overstuffed duffel. I shifted my weight impatiently, my carry-on wedged between my feet. The air was hotter and stuffier, like the plane itself was urging us to lea
Beyond the betrayal Chapter 117
Beth's POV I woke up the next morning pensive and annoyed, partly because I had a restless night punctuated with brief dreams and overthinking. I was motionless for a minute as I tried to remember the details of the dream but gave up when I couldn't recall it.I looked at my phone and groaned as I saw the time. I had overslept which was something that happened rarely as I was a stickler for routine. With a manic burst of energy, I got up and began preparing for work. I needed no one to tell me that my day was only going to get more weird.Once my schedule was broken, it was only natural that the rest of the day became shitty. I knew that much from experience.My pensive mood continued as I drove to the office and I only heard my name after I had been called at least thrice. I snapped at Brenda when she got in my business then asked her to call a mandatory meeting for all employees.She didn't hurry to do it but hesitated a bit and I knew she was curious as to why I was calling a me

“What do you think about all this, Aldred?”As Rey’s question echoed in the air, Aldred gave a knowing smile—as if he already expected the question.“It’s probably a ruse. The actual Warehouse must be hidden underground.” Rey made a slight grimace underneath his mask.‘Just as I suspected…’Even with this discovery, it didn’t change what they had to do. ‘We still have to invade. The entrance to the underground passage must be here somewhere.’Rey almost felt like he was invading the territory of a mafia group or some sort of cartel. He hadn’t done it before, but it seemed like this was how it would feel.“This establishment is run by Evals Redart, the biggest guy in business in the South.” Aldred went on, his tone still retaining the same hint of amusement from earlier.“I don’t imagine that we’d run into him here, but if we do, then the KariBlanc Group would like to stay out of it.”Rey let out a sigh and shrugged lightly.“I hadn’t planned for both of you to come inside with me a
