Grayson Blackwood has always been the formidable brother—fearless, unyielding, and willing to put it all on the line for his family. He never backed down from a mission and dealt swiftly with anyone who dared to threaten his loved ones or undermine their business. Today, he found himself downtown—a place he didn’t belong—trying to unravel the shocking truth from his last mission: someone within his own family wanted him dead. As he observed the waitress dropping their food at the table, he noticed immediately that it wasn’t the feisty brown-haired woman who had taken their order.

One moment, we were moving cautiously through the cracked, crumbling walls of the supply depot, checking the rooms for anything useful, and the next, the world erupted into chaos. Shouts. Gunfire. The sound of rapid, heavy footsteps. I barely had time to react before the first wave of infected swarmed in, their eyes glazed with that terrible, mindless hunger. “Fall back!” Ethan’s voice cut through the noise, sharp and commanding, and I tried to follow his orders. I stumbled back, pushing myself through the narrow corridor of the building, but before I could make it to the exit, I was grabbed.

The moment before I died in the previous cycle, I learned that my birthday party was actually the execution ground they had prepared for me. After my parents died in an accident, they left behind a massive fortune for me. But I trusted Jeremy too much. Not only did I not notarize the inheritance, but also treated it as matrimonial assets. I thought that this would give us an extra layer of security, but it ended up bringing me death. This time, I was not only going to reclaim all of my inheritance, but also going to bankrupt these two murderers and make them get what they deserved! Jeremy’s expression remained dark. He brought out a photo on his phone that showed me sitting with a man in a c

He thought I was being utterly unreasonable, so I walked out of the house. Every time we argued, I would give him the cold shoulder for several days. He assumed I was doing the same thing this time.

Just moments ago, to help Gina avoid paying for her crime, he sliced me up, emptied my organs, and turned them into specimens! … To remove all evidence of the crime from the laboratory, Nathan used a special chemical reagent to clean the entire place. Soon, the laboratory looked as good as new. It was as if nothing had ever happened.

"But this act has gone on long enough. Today, there won't be a treaty. No peace. No foolish idea that different species may live together. Security squads moved and raised their firearms. But Dietrich smiled. He responded in a calm voice, "I wouldn't." "This thing in my hand is a dead man's switch." If I let go of the trigger, explosives all over this building will go off if my heart stops. Everyone dies. Including me, but I'm not afraid of dying because I'm old enough.

He looks at me with wide eyes. I smirk. "Sorry about your sword." The next thing I know, I’m on my back, my feet swept out from under me. He climbs onto my chest, his hands closing around my throat. The talisman flies from my hand and clatters along the bridge. The man's fingers tighten, and I scramble to pry them off, but it's no use. My vision starts to blur, and the world starts to fade away. I can feel the life draining out of me when suddenly a big stick hits the man in the side of the head, and he is knocked off me.

Instantly, I tore through the first one with my claws, blood dripping hot across my arms; there was no time for mercy. “ DANE!” I roared further. I got into the tunnel, hoping we didn't get there too late. A gunshot rang through the air. I followed the sound crashing through a reinforced door, just as it slammed shut behind me, I scanned the room for Dane, only to find him on his knees, blood running down from his temple. He had a broken chain while the other hand was still chained to the wall. At his feet, two dead men were lying. A third man tried to sneak an attack on either of us. I got to him before he could react, snapping his head away from his neck.

“I am not. I learned from the best. Event planners document everything.” The door behind her opened. Damien stepped inside. Gold flashed in his eyes. Derek reached for the laptop. Damien moved faster. He slammed Derek into the wall and held him there with one hand around his throat. Derek gasped. “Kill me and the dead man’s switch activates. The files go live anyway.”

For a second I was calm then… “Where’s Demetrio? Is he okay? What about Manuel? Why are you not with him?” He hushed me, pushing me back into the container. Few seconds later, a big dude walked by, looking around, his gun poised to shoot. Dominic tiptoed noiselessly to the entrance and when the Russian was close enough, he grabbed him and– Pop! Snapped his neck. The big dude slumped to the floor. Dead. Just like that. I threw a wide-eyed look at Dominic, shocked and in fear.
