Chapter 563 – Hybrid Greed
It was almost noon…
And the silence in the car? Heavy.
Like velvet and smoke. Thick enough to taste.
The engine hummed low. A soft piano instrumental played from the car's sound system. Something expensive and old. It filled the quiet without pushing it away.
Lux leaned against the side window, elbow perched just right, fingers lightly tapping his lips. His coat was undone. His shirt collar was open, showing the lingering scar from earlier. The chain on his wrist clinked with each faint movement. But his eyes?
They weren't really looking at anything.
Not even at Ely, who sat beside him, stiff and far too quiet.
He was still analyzing what he saw.
