Chapter 344: The Chase (17)

As Erik made his way through the deserted part of the eastern district, his heart was thumping violently against his chest.

He was worn out, injured, and in a chaotic state of mind. The secret he had guarded with his life had been exposed to his friends and enemies.

The only thing he could wish for now was that Caiden's soldiers would successfully kill the criminals.

Obviously, his buddies would hide what had taken place, even if he had no idea what Jacob, Enya, or Stella would say about it. Erik took in his surroundings while continuing to run.

The marks of destruction were still visible in the eastern district, serving as a spooky reminder of the Thaids' ruthless assault that had wreaked havoc on the area.

Buildings stood in various states of disrepair, their shattered windows and deteriorating facades bearing witness to the mayhem that had taken place.
