Ethan and Adrian rushed down the emergency stairs while sirens began sounding in the distance. Ethan kept looking back at Jason, who was still lying on the balcony. The bullet had hit him, but he was breathing. Ethan wanted to stay, but Adrian pulled him toward the waiting car.We have to leave before they come back.Ethan climbed inside.But Jason knows something.I know, Adrian said. And that is exactly why the shooter wanted him silenced.The car sped away.Ethan stared at the memory card in his hand. It suddenly felt heavier than it had before. His mother had left behind evidence, Jason had admitted that someone controlled him, and now a mysterious shooter had tried to kill him before he could reveal the name.Adrian drove in silence for several minutes before Ethan finally spoke.You said my father wasn't the person my mother feared. What does that mean?Adrian tightened his grip on the steering wheel.Your father was protecting your mother. But there was another person who had a

Ethan stared at the fresh footprint in the dust. Someone had entered the tunnel before them, and judging by how clear the print was, they hadn't been there long. Jason noticed it too and immediately stepped closer to Ethan.Someone is ahead of us.Mr. Grant's face became tense.We need to keep moving.Ethan didn't move.You knew this tunnel existed. You knew my mother used it. Now we find a message saying the heir has returned. What aren't you telling me?Mr. Grant looked at him for several seconds.There are things your mother wanted you to discover yourself.That isn't an answer.It is the only answer I can give you right now.Ethan was about to respond when a faint sound came from deeper inside the tunnel.A door closing.All three men froze.Jason whispered that someone was there.Mr. Grant raised a finger, warning them to remain quiet.They continued forward carefully. The tunnel became narrower until they reached an old wooden door covered in dust. Mr. Grant pulled a key from hi

Ethan stared at the payment record on the laptop. The name attached to the account made his entire body go cold.Adrian Hayes.He blinked several times, hoping he had read it wrong, but the name remained. Adrian. The man who had promised to protect his music. The man who had warned him about the Wolf Society. The man who had told him his mother was investigating them. The man who had given him the memory card.Ethan slowly leaned back.No. It couldn't be Adrian.Jason noticed his expression. What is it?Ethan turned the laptop toward them.Jason's face changed immediately.Adrian?Mr. Grant stepped closer and studied the document.This could be fake.Ethan shook his head. The file came from my mother's archive.That doesn't mean the payment was made by Adrian himself, Mr. Grant replied. Someone could have used his company.Ethan stared at the record. Then why does the payment description mention my mother's name?Nobody answered.Jason walked around the table. Maybe Adrian isn't who w

Ethan stared at the door, unable to move. His grandfather was supposed to be dead, yet the man standing outside had just called him grandson. Adrian stepped closer to Ethan and whispered that they needed to leave through the window, but Ethan shook his head.I need to see him.You don't know what he wants, Adrian warned.Neither do you.Ethan walked toward the door.Victor's voice came again.Ethan, open the door. We have wasted enough time.Ethan unlocked it.The door opened slowly.An elderly man stood in the hallway wearing a dark coat. His hair was completely white, but his posture was straight and his eyes were sharp. He looked directly at Ethan.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then Victor smiled.You look exactly like your mother.Ethan's throat tightened.Grandfather.Victor stepped inside.Everyone remained silent.His eyes moved to Adrian.You failed to keep him away from this.Adrian's expression hardened.I kept him alive.Victor looked at Mr. Grant.And you allowed th

The entire hall fell into chaos.People screamed as the doors refused to open. Security guards rushed toward the exits, but the electronic locks remained sealed.Ethan stood frozen on the stage, staring at Adrian.You were the Gatekeeper.Adrian's face was emotionless.Yes.Jason shook his head in disbelief.You used me.Adrian looked at him.You were useful.Those words broke something inside Jason.All those years... you made me steal Ethan's music.I gave you opportunities you never deserved.Jason clenched his fists.You promised my family would be safe.And I kept my promise until you became a problem.Richard suddenly struggled against the man holding him.Ethan looked at his father.Dad!Richard shouted back.Don't come near me!Adrian raised the gun.Ethan, listen carefully. Whatever happens, don't give him the original music.Adrian smiled.It's too late.Ethan frowned.Why?Because the final composition is alrehady inside the system.Adrian pointed toward the screens.Your m
