Chapter 165

Old master Silver dismissed Noah to his room .

He stalked through the mansion's dark corridors, his footsteps echoing with violent purpose. His fingers kept tracing the rope burns on his wrists, each touch feeding his rage.

" I will allow the assassin weaken him"

he thought, his reflection in passing mirrors showing a twisted version of his once-handsome face.

"But I'll deliver the final blow myself."

In his room, he pulled out his phone, staring at old photos from school - him at the center of every group, the unquestioned king of campus. His fingers clenched around the device until the screen almost cracked.

"I'll take it all back,"

he whispered to the darkness. A cruel smile spread across his face as he found a photo of Serenity.

"And you..."

He traced her image with a trembling finger.

"You'll learn what happens when you choose the wrong side."
