Novel & Cerita Paranoia Heartsteel

I thought as I stood up from the chair and removed my bib. “I’m heading out, I won’t be back until later,” I announced and they both watched me lose control of my will and thoughts. “Where are you heading to sir?” Miss Loo asked me, her concern was clear. “Get rid of the parcel. Maybe burn it if you so please, I’ll be back later,” I responded and slipped into my coat, luckily, the car keys were in the pocket. I needed air. I hated him. ******* I was sick to my stomach as I navigated through the club, I needed a release and I was seeing blood. The stench didn’t even bother me, because the horrific feeling in my own head was even more overwhelming compared to the smell.

What the fuck is wrong with everyone in this castle? They freeze and tremble with fear when I run towards the bathtub. I have never had any ill will towards servants but I feel like strangling these two. Having my arms around Abi to lift her head up is the only reason I am not crushing their little necks right now. It takes a lot for me to subdue Titan, who is raging and wants to take over. I really had no idea what’s gotten to him. I am panting and burning up by the time they run off, but it’s not from anger. It’s her. I am not supposed to feel like this, I am not supposed to feel at all. It’s part of my mutation, a little price to pay for possessing the indestructible features of steel.

"She’s not going to make it, Zilo. Look at her. She’s fading." "She’s making a choice, Nomo! Don't you dare look away from it!" Zilo snapped, his fingers connecting the final leads. "If we hit that Dark Heartstone with a concentrated burst of sapphire-jade frequency, it won't just stop. It’ll feedback. It’ll treat the Queen like the battery she’s been using everyone else as. It’s going to turn her into the ground wire." "Do it! Before that thing swallows her!" Nomo roared, shielding his face as the Dark Heartstone began to emit a high-pitched, agonizing whine that shattered the remaining glass in the chamber.

But Damian’s mind raced, searching for a way out. “Now!” the guard shouted, his finger hovering over the trigger. Damian’s gaze met Maya’s, a silent understanding passing between them. “Drake,” Damian said softly. “Yeah?” “Duck.” In a flash, Damian lunged forward, disarming the nearest guard with a swift strike. Chaos erupted as the team fought back, their movements a symphony of calculated violence. Sage'sheart pounded as she fired at a guard, her focus razor-sharp. Damian moved like a force of nature, his every action deliberate and lethal.

Actions speak louder, and she’d learned that by now. She was at the table, sipping coffee, studying the bikes lined up in the lot. I could feel her mind racing, cataloging everything she didn’t understand. The way she tensed when one of the brothers started the engine nearby. The subtle flinch when a door slammed. She was hyper-aware, alert. Dangerous, in her own way, but fragile at the edges. And I didn’t trust anyone else to keep her safe—not here, not ever. Riker passed by, smirking, and I felt the familiar heat in my chest. He caught my glance and knew better than to test me again. Not today. Not when I was already tethered to her without permission, without explanation, without plan.

She said and sat down. "And to introduce the major shareholders in this group... " Eva already became so tensed. He looked at the three men sitting beside each other staring at her. She needed no one to tell her who they are. They're the infamous blue dragons. Damien was standing behind her, he put his hand on her shoulder to calm her down. It doesn't show that she's uncomfortable but he knows she is. "Calm down Eva. You can do this." He whispered to her ear.

Emma's heart thundered against her ribcage, each beat a painful reminder of what they were about to attempt. She found herself reconsidering everything as her fingers fidgeted with the straps of her silver armor. The memory of Steve's near-death experience during the mercury retrieval mission flashed vividly through her mind—his body broken and bloody, his breathing so shallow she'd feared each breath would be his last. A cold shiver traced her spine at the recollection. But what choice did they have now? After all, this entire reckless plan had been her idea in the first place.

“Ordered, huh? Then prove it. Hold the line.” He jerked his chin toward the circle of guards that rimmed the chamber. One after the other, they stood like silent statues, weapons angled toward the floor but bodies brimming with disciplined tension. The Pandora pulsed at the room’s center, casting its eerie green-blue shimmer over their armor. It looked like a heartbeat, slow, steady, unyielding.

"Open your mouth now!" Ashton barked. Whitney's delicate body trembled even more violently before she opened her mouth. In that instant, the six silver needles shot into the air as a small, silver Heart-Devouring Parasite leaped from Whitney's mouth, radiating a terrifying energy. It sensed peril, so it twisted frantically and attempted to flee. In the next moment, a pitch-black weaponized energy slashed downward, cleaving the terrifying Heart-Devouring Parasite in two. That parasite, which had just been radiating a formidable energy, immediately darkened and was utterly destroyed.
