I linked Erik to inform the stephanovs to join me in the estate. Then I told Leo to inform Gezel to get ready. I also linked Bryce and Levi to ensure the visitors would be checked and watched when they arrived. Everyone dispersed, and I went to my room to take a short nap. I needed to rest and gath

~Sylvester~ I arrived in the small conference room in the mansion, and true to Marcel's words, the visitors did not look like Stepanovs. They had extremely fair skin, but their dark hair and brown eyes made them look ordinary. Alexei and Clay were there. They stood up when I entered the room, ackn

Having Devin say it would mean he was hurt by what Yuri did to him and wanted to pay him back by all means. It would be excusable. Peter looked at me after hearing what Devin said and shook his head. "We can't pay evil back with evil," he started, and his peers agreed. "We remained silent and did

~Leo~ The meeting with the Stepnaovs went pretty well. Gezel knowing and trusting them was a good sign, but we could not be relaxed and let them in on our plans. We had to be extra careful because we would only get one shot at this. Yuri was a slippery bastard, and we could not afford to let him sl

I pleaded with them, and Marcel got a bit short. "What else do you want us to do, Leo? We have been cautious. We even let you run this thing for a while in the East. Now that we have some action, you are doubting our break?" He asked, and I shook my head. "I do not doubt our break. And for the rec

I wasn't happy that Gezel would fight with us, and I wished I could talk her out of it. Still, I hadn't gotten the chance, nor had I been able to tell Amelia about her mother's decisio

~Leo~ We arrived at Mountain without issues. I wasn't fooled by the false peace, but I knew it meant Yuri was either out of the East or had no influence in the region. Maybe he was busy with other things; I was grateful. Seeing a few people above ground, I realised how important dealing with this

I left the room and headed toward's Gezel's room. I did not hesitate to knock on her door, and she opened it after the first knock. She did not even ask who it was. She just opened the door. "Leo," she said, a bit surprised. "Who were you expecting?" I asked her, and she stepped aside for me to en

"Don't go. Please Gezel. I know the King has given his consent but please. I would prefer that you return to the North with Amelia when the time comes. I would prefer you are with her." I said and bowed my head. "Our victory isn't guaranteed. Should anything happen, she would at least have you," I

"We will hunt down the son of a bitch that has plagued our world for so long and end his shadow reign. We will clip his wings and destroy his ego. We will pay him for his crimes against us and our peers," I said, and they hailed. "I want to thank you all for your contributions to the cause, and the
