Novel & Cerita Hidden Arsenal Chapter 1

Chapter 2: The Gilded Cage The rain had transitioned from a sharp drizzle to a rhythmic, heavy drumming against the roof of the black Maybach by the time it pulled into the underground garage of The Zenith. Elena stared out the tinted window, her reflection a pale, ghostly blur against the passing concrete pillars. In her lap, her fingers were intertwined so tightly they had lost all color, the tension radiating from her knuckles up to her shoulders.

"You have information we need before the full moon. Share it willingly and honestly and we don't hand you to anyone." "And if I decline?" "Then Aldric decides what to do with someone who tried to corrupt two of his watchers." She looked at Aldric. He looked back with the particular expression of someone who had been alive long enough that patience and threat had become indistinguishable. She turned back to me. "The hidden chapter in the third book," she said. "You found it." "Yes." "Then you know about the second anchor point." I went still. Behind me I felt Milrac go still too.

It took them awhile, but they managed to go through everything and pack up the useless stuff. Angel was in the office going through the desk while two of staff members were packing up the books inside when one of them went to grab another book and the whole shelf moved. Her father who had just been standing there looked at her oddly and she shrugged, she hadn’t known the room was there either. When they opened it, they found what appeared to be a secret office in what was intended to be a panic room. There was a lot of paperwork, financial information, a lot of things that didn’t make sense right off. Until Angel looked at it closer and saw the pattern. It turned out Kingsley hadn’t just bee

The screen flashed red once, then blinked green. He descended six levels. The air changed. Sterile. Pressurized. The vault corridor looked like something out of a sci-fi prison. White lights. Steel doors. Retinal scanners. Silent as death. He found Vault 713—the one marked with the sigil Leandro had drawn in blood. He placed the chip Amara had smuggled in her bracelet into the reader. Click. The door hissed open. Inside? A single black case. He picked it up. And that’s when he heard the footsteps.

My legs gave out from underneath me, I tried to brace myself for impact against the ground, but instead my weak body was pulled into strong arms. I blinked, trying to clear the blurriness in my eyes again, the dark spots started clouding my vision, but before it fully had a chance to pull me in, I was met with deep seafoam eyes that shone with so much intensity, “I have you.." *** This chapter wasn't the best, my apologies, next chapter will be better I promise.

Chapter 96: Shatter the Spine. Mia's POV The night air was like a blade against my skin. Cold. Sharp. Final. As our convoy pulled up near the southern cliffs, I could feel the quiet anticipation in my chest coiling tighter with every second. I stared at the bunker carved into the hillside, invisible to anyone who didn’t know it existed. But I knew. I always knew. The folder I’d carried like a relic hadn’t just contained supply routes or logistics—it held their final secrets. Their final sanctuary. Their end.

Xhe hissed trying to capture him only for him to slip through their fingers. "Self-preservation instinct", Uno corrected waving daintily as then slinking through a side-entrance and escaping, ignoring Xhe's frustrated yell. "ALARIC!!!You'll pay for this!" The last thought he had as he walked into the panic room adjacent to the coat closet was; // Sanctuary's and Septimus Der Mörder… there's a special irony right here…// xXxXx End of chapter 8.

The Military Villa loomed under the darkened sky, its sharp lines and sturdy construction exuding an aura of authority and precision. Inside, the air was thick with tension, the faint hum of the overhead lights the only sound as Charles marched down the corridor, his footsteps measured, his grip firm on the envelope in his hands. Inside it, the truth. Every piece of Alysha Jarl’s life that Neil Holland had worked so meticulously to bury.

My dad had mentioned it once, calling it the Apocrypha of the Veiled. As I flipped again, I noticed something written with something that looked like charcoal. “The Hidden Truth,” I whispered. I opened it, my eyes skimming the jagged, handwritten script. My breath hitched. Unlike the other books, which described the Masquerades as hunters, this author described them as Sentinels. I was already in the middle, and as I turned a page, my heart did a slow, heavy thud against my ribs. My eyes widened as I read the final line of the chapter. My vision blurred for a second as the weight of the words crashed into me like a physical blow.

Emergency work lights had been rigged by Marcus’s team, casting harsh, industrial white beams down into the pit where the massive, reinforced steel door of the secondary trust vault stood exposed to the world for the first time in thirty years [Chapter 35]. A secure security vehicle glided smoothly to a halt outside the shattered glass structure. The door opened, and Elena stepped out, wrapped tightly in a long black wool trench coat. Her face was pale but set with an absolute, unyielding determination. Her hand was resting firmly over her stomach, a constant silent anchor for the new life growing within her [Chapter 31].
