Not long after leaving the event, the two vehicles arrived at their destination. Jason followed Cole Vargas into a sprawling penthouse office. As expected, it was a place of opulence. The city's lights shined below, a silent audience to the power that resided here. Jason’s eyes immediately went to the man standing by the massive window.The first thing he felt was surprise, because the last time he had seen Duval Williams, he was a fat man, drowning in expensive suits that couldn't hide his bulk. But the man who turned from the window was slimmed down and sharp, his dark suit tailored to perfection, his movements precise and controlled. He was a new man, but the cold glint in his eyes was exactly the same.Jason was able to recognize him quickly, because he was well known in the underground world. And while Jason was not from there, he was usually tasked by the eclipse syndicate to work with mob bosses. "Mr. Williams, I've brought him," Cole Vargas announced to his boss, his voic

The next day, Jason decided to pay a visit to the Caelthorn family mansion, and look for why the location was on the map. But first, he knew he needed Selene's help with that. Her family had just purchased the mansion, and so he couldn't just go on, as that would be trespassing.Who was he kidding? He was Lucan Vale, he could go inside and out of the place, do what he wanted to do and no one would detect him. However, he wasn't going to do that, he wanted to do it the legal way, because he wanted to know why Selene's family bought the property. Could the Voss family have bought it because they also knew about the obsidian dagger? Highly unlikely that they did and even if they did, it was not their business for them to be interested, but still he was curious. Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to insert themselves in what didn't belong to them. Like Elara Von Halen did.As for Duval? He was probably lying to Jason. He didn't even want to think about it.Seated in his brand new

The heavy wooden door of the Caelthorn mansion creaked open, groaning on its old hinges like someone waking up after a long sleep.Jason and Selene walked in. Inside, the air was thick and cold. It smelled of dust, decay, and a silence so deep you could almost feel it pressing down on you. The afternoon light came through the dirty windows, showing tiny bits of dust floating in the air like some ghostly dance.“Strange. You would think that the family had housekeepers to take care of this place while they are gone. Does this mean they disappeared along with the family?” Selene commented, her eyes looking around the space as they walked into the middle of the house. She made sure to stick by Jason's side, as if he would protect her from anything.Jason, on the other hand, wasn't worried about the paranormal. It didn't exist in his world. Where he came from, he was known as the ghost, so how could he be afraid of them? He remained vigilant, as he was looking for something more tangible

"You're trespassing on Caelthorn ground," the old man said, his voice rough from age and disuse. The shotgun in his weathered hands never wavered, its barrel trained steadily on Jason's chest. Jason kept his hands raised, but his voice remained calm and controlled. "Easy there. Put the gun down. We're not here to cause any trouble." The old man didn’t lower the shotgun, his tired eyes scanning Jason and Selene in the dim light filtering through the dusty windows with suspicion. "That's what they all say. Every last one of them are treasure hunters and thrill seekers." His grip tightened on the weapon. "You got that same look in your eyes like you're hunting for something." "I'm not a treasure hunter," Jason said evenly, though something in the old man's words made his pulse quicken. How many others had come looking for what he sought? “Are you a treasure hunter? How do I know you're not just trespassing?” Jason asked. "We were the Caelthorn family's housekeepers," he explained,

Now that Selene and the old couple were away from the danger. Jason was glad, because he could now operate freely without worrying about anything. He exhaled loudly, forming a plan. First thing he wanted to do was to get their attention, so that they will follow him here. That way since they are coming to him, he will have the advantage. Especially if they are coming one by one or are isolated. With that part of the plan set, Jason looked for something that he can make noise with. His eyes landed on a vase ln the corner of the dark hallway. It was the perfect thing to make noise with. He walked over, grabbed the thing and threw it towards the stairs, it crashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces. The sound of it was loud enough for even the leader downstairs to hear. “Heard that?” “Looks like it came from the second floor upstairs” “Well, go check, don't just stand there. There is someone hiding there. Bring them here. Maybe this won't be so hard anymore. They will
