章 26: Chapter 26 - Calm Before the Storm

The safehouse in London exuded an air of quietude, serving as a temporary refuge for Connor, Ethan, and Lady Enki. They had spent the past two days recovering from their encounter with HADES assassins, using the time to regroup and strengthen their resolve. Now, gathered in the comfortable living area, the trio engaged in a conversation that danced between lighthearted banter and the gravity of their mission.

Lady Enki leaned back in her chair, her fiery red hair cascading over the backrest. Her sharp eyes scanned the room, ever vigilant, while a slight smirk played at the corner of her lips. Ethan, seated opposite her, peered over his glasses, his brow furrowed in thought. Connor lounged nearby, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he twirled a small flame between his fingertips, a testament to his inability to sit still during conversations.
