Chapter 213

213 THE CRACK

“Hey! Where are you going?!” Hades was startled when he watched Zuri walk out of her hiding place and inch closer to where those people surrounded Chaos. “What are you doing?”

Hades looked at Zuri with confusion when the girl picked the lock on the door of the building near her, which she entered in the next moment and started running toward the emergency stairs.

This building was empty after being raided by those supernatural creatures. She could see the blood that stained the marble floors and broken furniture as well as the glass shards from the broken windows and then more horror if you just looked closer around you.

However, Zuri didn’t have time for it. She needed to move as fast as she could, since she was running out of time and was not sure whether her plan would work or not. There was a high chance that Chaos wouldn’t see her.

Yet, Zuri felt this strange feeling. She felt there was something weird and unusual about Chaos.

It was not his character to expose himself out there to attract attention or intentionally create chaos like he was doing right now.

He always moved in silence to minimize his presence as much as possible. So, what changed now? Zuri didn’t feel good about this change at all...

“Do you have some plan inside that little head of yours?” Hades ran beside her, but he didn’t seem to put so much effort into it. Though they were climbing around twenty- four floors up, it was like taking an evening stroll in the garden for him.

“Shut up, you damn devil!” Zuri cursed at him, panting. It was a bad move to curse at Hades, since he loved it whenever he managed to get Zuri riled up.

.....

“I just wanted to know. You are being so sensitive, why? Are you on your period?”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Hades’ last comment made Zuri swing her arm hard and punch him in the face, but he disappeared before her hand could make contact with him.

The god of the underworld appeared again a few steps above Zuri and looked down at her, as he berated the girl.

“I am way older than you, did no one ever tell you that it is not nice to punch someone older than you?” Hades clicked his tongue, just like a father, who was reprimanding his naughty daughter.

At this point, it took everything in Zuri to not curse or run faster and try her luck again to push him down from this height, probably, he would die this time.

Well, that was only a fleeting idea, she entertained herself with that thought instead of giving Hades the reaction that he wanted.

Zuri completely ignored him and she knew that this was the only way to piss him off.

====================

It was the first time for Sebastian to witness the power that Knox held. This was the first time he witnessed it with his own eyes, since he only learned that Knox was a supernatural creature after he left.

July told him about it and together they made a plan to bring back all the people from the organization to fight back The Hound as much as they could and save the shifters from their cruel experimentation.

However, to watch all of this unfold was something that he would remember for the rest of his life.

The way Knox walked graciously with July beside him while all the shifters and the humans around them kneeling before him unwillingly, at a distance of ten meters, as they struggled and tried to fight the urge to kneel before them, was something that made Sebastian and the other four people’s jaws drop.

They didn’t know that such power existed.

How could he make those people and shifters do something out of their conscience? Knox was not a shifter nor was he a vampire, it was confirmed. He was not a witch either, so what kind of creature was he? And why is he tied to Chaos?

Rumor had it that the McKeltar family weren’t tied by blood, they were not actually siblings and July had confirmed the same, yet she didn’t explain about it further.

So, what kind of creatures were the three McKeltars?

Sebastian didn’t know much about it, but he knew for sure that they were not creatures that you could mess with and The Hound should have known better than to bother them.

Yet, Archie Williams was hellbent on getting his hands on the three of them, especially Chaos.

“My gun is useless if you do this,” July commented, as she looked around her. There were around twelve shifters and twenty people, who were still kneeling down. They continued to do so until they were a few meters away from them.

Only then did they get their freedom back to move again.

This power was scary and it required a lot of strength. July realized that, since she could feel Knox’s body turn cold as his face became pale.

Above them, in the sky, there were two helicopters floating in the air in place, as bright beams of light came from them, aimed at something on the ground.

July assumed they put Chaos in the spotlight. It made it easier for them to find Chaos.

But then, something horrible happened, a loud explosive sound was heard as the ground shook before it caved in.

Knox immediately grabbed July’s body and then knelt down. “STAY CLOSE,” he roared at Sebastian and the other four people.

The ground around them started crumbling, but the part where they were standing was steady, which they assumed was because of Knox.

They watched how those creatures that were forced to kneel down before Knox fell into the dark crack that was created around them. The crack was so deep and swallowed everything.

Before their eyes, two tall buildings fell to the ground and then disappeared under the dark crack.

“What is this?!” July asked Knox in panic, since the nearest crack was only three steps away from her and she could see how scary and deep it was.
