You're a pawn to him, nothing more, and something to stall the rogues with while he prepares for the real war. "I thought as much. But neither of us have sure proof, and I'm not abandoning Tahoe Village. I'll be dead sooner or later the way things are going, but even so, it's my duty to save as many villagers as possible. And if they can't be saved at all, then I'll be content to die trying. They're innocent. They have no part in any of this. Someone has to fight for them, and since it's come to me, that's what I'll do." Surprisingly, Matt only smiled. "I know," he said. "That's why I came here. To protect you. There might be something yet that'll turn the tide, who knows?"

Millie firmly said. Pierce was shocked to hear this. He looked at her in disbelief. "Then what's the point of me staying alive?" he instantly shot back. Millie was stunned. Indeed, people needed a reason to live. Pierce was born without the love of his parents. He'd lost his sister, his lover, and his career too. If everything he'd ever longed for was stripped away, it would be cruel for him to continue living. "Just stay alive. As long as you're alive, there's hope. What if you meet someone better in the future?"

"With the chaos you stirred, why did you choose to return to Ketria?” Choose? Is that a joke? Is it not obvious that I was caught in a lie? That I woke up here, chained to a goddamn wall? “And more to that, what reason do you have to stay that the people can cling to for reassurance?" Another reporter adds. A reason to stay? Because the concept of people dying for me is too much. Because- "I-" The answer remains lodged in my throat. My mother was all my reasons; I have none left.

I would take the quickest bath ever known to man and return just as quickly. "Fine." I stood up to go but something occurred to me. Something I'd blatantly ignored because Jared was the only one that concerned me in the moment. "Matt... What happened to him?" "He's alive..." Her eyes hardened. "and here."

“She said we share blood, Matthew.” “What?” “She said she needs me to survive... and that someone must never find out I’m alive. I don’t understand any of it.” Matthew was quiet for a moment. Then he reached out, gently touching my arm. “We’ll figure this out. Together.” “No,” I said. “You should go. You should’ve never followed me into this mess.” “And yet, I’m still here.” I looked at him. Really looked. There was no judgment in his eyes, no fear—just quiet resolve and something else.

he said. " thank you sir" I replied. " rest well" he said and went out of of the room. " pheeeeww, I think I need a week or more to rest" I said to myself. After this what's next, I hope I don't get myself killed one of these days, because I barely made it out. The only reason I'm still alive is because they all don't have guns if not I would have be long dead. Well what can I say.....this is a battle of life and death and only destiny will choose the position we will be.

“That’s irreversible. They’ll die instantly.” “That’s the point,” Matt replied flatly, though his tone carried the weight of reluctance. “The boss doesn’t want them alive. He thinks they’re a liability.” Grey’s eyes darted nervously between Matt and the screen. “And you agree with this? These men have families, lives—” “It’s not about what I agree with,” Matt cut him off, his tone sharp. “You know as well as I do that the master doesn’t ask for opinions. He gives orders.”

Mimi nodded, continuing her narrative: “After becoming the heir, he faced numerous dangers. Car accidents, plane crashes... numerous attempts on his life by enemies. But after everything, he survived, like a living miracle. Once, his plane was shot down over the ocean, everyone thought he was dead. But he survived, drifting on the sea for more than ten days, clinging onto a piece of debris.” Surviving in such a world required not just exceptional abilities and good fortune, but also unyielding determination and effort. Ultimately, Matthew was a ruthless man, even towards himself. “Perhaps due to growing up in the underworld, he was forced to become strong and ruthless from a young age, which

Because at the end of the day, when the doors closed and the noise faded and the weight of the Pack stayed outside where it belonged… It was just him. Still recovering. Still fighting. Still alive. And me. Still here. Still refusing to leave. Still choosing, every single day, to stay exactly where I was. Not because of what they thought. Not because of what it looked like. But because somewhere along the line, without meaning to, without planning to, without even allowing myself to fully acknowledge it… His survival had become something I couldn’t walk away from. And maybe that was what they were seeing.
