Rise of the Paragon Villain

In a world of forgotten memories and lethal secrets, Anastasia Moreau fights for survival. Awakening in a sinister laboratory with no recollection of her past, she escapes, only to be taken under the wing of a notorious killer who molds her into an assassin. Her goal: ascend the ranks within the elusive assassin organization known as RACQI, all while unraveling the secrets of her own lost memories. But Anastasia carries a crippling burden—PTSD that renders her incapable of taking a life. Her flaw threatens to shatter her dream until a final chance arises: an assignment to eliminate Valerian Vincenzo Vanguardia, the prime minister's formidable son. A task laced with complications, for Valerian possesses otherworldly abilities and a personality that clashes with everything Anastasia stands for. When a series of gruesome murders entangles them with Ambrose Riese, the youngest scion of the powerful Spes Lawfirm, the trio forms an uneasy alliance to confront a rising tide of chaos. In their struggle against deadly foes, including bloodthirsty zombies and alien creatures, Ana and Valerian's animosity transforms into an unexpected connection, sparking a slow-burning attraction that defies the odds. As darkness threatens to consume them, they must navigate treacherous paths, facing inner demons and forging unlikely alliances. The lines blur between heroes and villains as they battle not only external threats but also the shadows within themselves. Ana's journey becomes a thrilling odyssey of redemption, truth, and justice, leading her to question whether she can triumph over her past or risk becoming something far more sinister. The fate of a fractured world hangs in the balance, and Ana's choices will determine whether she rises as a hero or succumbs to the darkness. Prepare for a saga where alliances shift, allegiances blur, and the past casts a haunting shadow on an uncertain future.

Chapter 97: Arrogant Hostage: AKA Valerian

Ana

Ana looked at the timer above.

1:45:04

The timer on the holographic display above the grand lecture hall counted down mercilessly, marking the minutes Ana had to find Valerian and ensure his return to the academic duel. 

Ana had one hour and forty-five minutes, a rapidly diminishing window of time to track down her friend. But where does she start? Besides the more time she wasted, the less time Valerian had to answer the test.

Winning that spot on the Imperial 10 was crucial if they wanted to make progress with their investigation. Only the Royals had access to specific opportunities and resources like the Academy Laboratory. The access and resources that came with that position were invaluable, and they needed every advantage they could get.

She needed to find Valerian and she needed him to win this.

As she got up from her seat, she saw Ambrose get down too. "I'll help," he said.
