Master Of Deception Novels & Stories

I left and said, "Since we are finished here, I'm returning to my place and please don't you every try to call me." "You'll have to accept my apology... We still need to work together because, after all, we are still partners" he said. I replied, "Not for long," and then hurried out. After arriving at my residence in a short while, I received a call. Even though I had no idea who was calling, I still responded because Nicholas might be there. I recognized the voice as my lover, Jackson, who said, "Hi babe," completely forgetting about him. He was pursuing his Master's in business administration while studying abroad.

Hours later, as the sun began to rise, a figure slipped through the shadows toward the safe house. Dominic’s team was ready. ⸻ The capture of Marcus Hale was swift but tense. Under interrogation, Hale revealed disturbing truths: Nexus’s infiltration was deeper than anyone had imagined, with multiple layers of deception designed to break the city from within. Dominic realized this was no longer just about stopping attacks — it was about exposing a conspiracy that could shake the very foundations of their world. ⸻ That night, the team regrouped, battered but unbroken. Dominic looked at Lena, whose eyes reflected both determination and regret.

The Master’s form shimmered between them, almost intangible, a ghost of energy and darkness. “Brave words for someone who just fed me the energy I needed,” the Master said, voice low, almost a whisper carried on the wind. “Do you see it now? Every step you’ve taken, every bond you’ve strengthened—it’s all been my design. The Sacrifice Game was just the beginning.” Wolf stepped forward, weapon drawn. “You’re insane! You’ve been using them—using all of us—to strengthen yourself?”

The smile didn’t mock me. It promised--- more! “Is there anything you need, Master?” I blinked, confused… “M-Master?!” I echoed, the question jarring in my mind. Master?! What the hell did he mean by that? This was the second time he’d said that, but I was no closer to understanding what it meant. What the pact between us meant… And for some reason, I couldn’t find the words to ask about it… “What--- what do you---?” I began asking, but before I could, he stood, unfolding to his full, towering height before me. With a simple swipe of his hand, the hood fell away, revealing his thick black hair---

The movement surprised the disguised young master quite a bit. “So what if I’m facing the young master directly?” She put her hands on her hips. While still glancing around, checking if there were other people around them and luckily it was only the two of them there. “Young Master Dawson doesn’t like women, as long as I don’t do anything that makes him even glance at me, I think everything will be fine. Besides, I’m here to work, not to attract the attention of the young master and see scary things.” She said firmly and lifted her chin slightly to look confident.

Theo offered a relieved nod, as if finally seeing a pup learn to track. "Precisely. From this moment on, you will master the art of the 'Tea-Master'—weaving subtle, bitter deceptions. Whether you can drive a wedge between those two brothers or not determines your value to this pack."

Of course it’s him. I try to keep my expression neutral, but I’m suddenly burning with the need to lash out. I know too much now. I’ve been so wrapped up in this stupid game of pretending everything’s fine that I missed the signs. Damon Clark. Kate’s shady man friend. The man Gabriel doesn’t trust. And now, he’s standing right in front of me, staring at me like he owns me, and I’m supposed to just let him. I shoot him a tight smile, though inside I’m burning. “Ah, now it makes sense,” I say, my voice dripping with fake sweetness.

"Again you rose to the occasion when I offered you the opportunity to teach me and you showed me what it is to love. You thought you were chasing a murderer to avenge the death of a comrade. I had never known such devotion in any group of men. Even so, I was determined not to return to you for the sake of our captain. I was sure I was a bad influence on him and to be seen with me would ruin his reputation and everything he worked so hard for, but more than anything, it would cause his men to desert him after such a deception. When he did catch up to me and convince me that I could return with him as myself," she pulled the wig off and stood before them as her own self, "I agreed, but I had a

“Master knows that your wife and daughter have an expert protecting them, so he’s not that foolish. Let me tell you a secret. Master has recently been infatuated with a movie star. Especially when he unintentionally saw the concert your Khanh City’s city center hosted during its opening, he was instantly captivated by that lass named Snow Fenner. “Master really likes this Snow Fenner, and you should know that the women Master likes, he would never allow anyone to taint them mentally. But this Snow girl is too popular recently, and Master can’t stop people from liking her. Since that’s the case, he’s thinking of destroying her altogether.”

He smiled thinking that the group before him were thinking too highly of themselves. “I cannot return it to you because it is destroyed” Mane lied expertly. His faces was covered, but his bright blue eyes were exposed to his enemy and they were unwavering. He spoke without missing a beat. Abe and the twins didn’t show any reaction at all. Frederick was too focused on how they would escape and wasn’t paying attention to Mane’s conversation with the Master. As for Selina, she was trembling from the ominous aura coming from the Possessed who stood behind Dominic. It was also great that their faces were covered, making it more difficult for the Master to see through their lies.
