Meanwhile, Kairos leaned over his desk. Nina stood in front of him. “Grandmaster.” She called out. He looked up, his eyes like chips of ice. "Assemble the Alpha Team. I want every Enhanced operative we have on active duty. Find him, Nina. I don't care what it takes. I want him, and I want that dagger."Nina stood perfectly still. She didn't move to obey."Did you hear me?" Kairos snapped."I heard you, " she replied, her voice a little annoyed, devoid of its usual respect. She slowly raised her personal data tablet. "Before you deploy the Alphas, sir... perhaps you should listen to this."She tapped the screen. The room filled with the sound of Jason's voice, clear and cold from the tablet's speaker."...What about the Caelthorns? My family?"Kairos froze. The blood drained from his face.Then, his own voice echoed in his private suite."...There were complications. Your family was... guarding something... I merely oversaw the necessary intervention and ensured the assets, includin

"Brandon, you just told me you're the sole survivor of a murdered family, raised by your family's killer, and you're now a fugitive from some secret organization." She shook her head, but her grip on his hand never loosened. "Time isn't going to make that any less insane. But it also doesn't change how I feel about you.”Vanessa studied his face in the dim light of the car, noticing the shadows under his eyes, the tension in his jaw. "Are you hungry?" she asked softly. "You've been on the move constantly these last few days. Did you even sleep?"Jason was quiet for a moment, then shook his head. "Not really. Maybe a few hours here and there.""When did you last eat?"He thought about it. "Yesterday morning, I think."Vanessa's expression shifted to concern mixed with exasperation. "Come on," she said, opening the car door. "You need food and rest, not sitting in a car telling tragic stories on an empty stomach."Despite everything, Jason felt a small smile tug at his lips. "I could ea

Jason attacked again, feinting left before striking right. Kairos dodged, but not quickly enough, Jason's fist connected with his ribs.Kairos coughed, wincing, then came at Jason with renewed fury. His strikes were precise and devastating, each one carrying decades of skill and rage."I have to admit," Kairos said as they exchanged blows, "the thought of having to kill you after you'd been such an excellent servant wasn't pleasant. But now?" He landed a vicious strike to Jason's shoulder. "After what you did? You'll die painfully."Jason was losing ground. Every block sent shockwaves of pain through his arms. Every dodge came a fraction of a second slower than the last."Before sending you off on your little mission," Kairos continued, pressing his advantage, "I had everything planned. You bring me the Obsidian Dagger, and then you either stick around and I kill you before you learn about who you really are, or you listen to me and retire quietly, try to settle down with your fian

He paused, his smile gone, replaced by an icy calm. "I handed it all over to the authorities…. they were very interested in your plans. Especially your plans for me." "You... you bastard..." Charlie stammered, backing away. "Your plan is foiled, Charlie," Jason said, his voice flat. "Your revenge is over, Caspian. And Elvis... your time is up." As if cued by his words, the main doors to the penthouse burst open. Federal agents in tactical vests flooded the room, weapons raised. "Caspian Montgomery! Jett Montgomery! Elvis Montgomery! Charlie Smith!" the lead agent barked. "You're all under arrest.” Charlie just slumped into a chair, his face ashen, as the agents moved in to cuff them. The reign of the Montgomerys, and Charlie's pathetic attempt at betrayal, was over. The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing the magnificent, three-story lobby of Primus Corporation. Caspian, Jett, and Charlie were marched out in handcuffs, their expensive suits looking rumpled and
