Kaiden strode across the streets until they reached the pristine stone path of the Dupré estate.
Behind him, Nyx, Luna, Aria, Bastet, and the demoness followed in silence. The mansion loomed ahead, made of white marble, gold-lined pillars, fortified gates.
Outside the gate, two sleek black vans sat parked. No logos. No plates. Tinted windows.
Government surveillance.
But not a single door opened. Not one agent stepped out. People who were lining the sidewalks, phones raised, gasped as Kaiden didn't stop at the gate. He didn't even slow down.
*BANG!*
His foot crushed the reinforced front door off its hinges. Metal bent like clay.
Gasps rippled like thunder.
"Holy shit, he kicked it down!"
"He's gone insane?!"
"Kaiden?? What are you doing??"
Kaiden walked forward, ignoring the shouts of the onlookers.
"Stop right there!"
Armed men in black suits raised rifles from behind pillars and staircases. Their muzzles were all aimed at him.
