A New Beginning From the End of the World

Chapter 250 – I’ll Handle It

Teddy walked toward the window and saw how the members of his cult were being gathered in the middle of an open area. All of them wore expressions of fear, and to them, the future was anything but certain.

When Jason considered what to do, the same question always came to mind: Are they the good guys or the bad guys? For some people, that’s an easy answer. But for Jason, th...

Looking at the bloodied man, Jason signaled two of his soldiers to go in and secure the armory immediately. A few seconds later, a gunshot was heard from inside the room.

Bang!

"Clear, sir! There's no one else inside!"

Amid the sound of gunfire and the roars of the walkers, this sudden attack caused many people to start a shootout inside the mall and, at the same time, disrupted any escape plans the enemy might have had.

At a military shelter, moments after the attack on the cult's main base had begun.

When everything started, Jason's forces were divided into three important groups. One was led by Morgan, who would take care of Neil's people, and Shane was about to take charge of the people from another base that seemed to have a name related to blood.

But this time, Shane’s strategy was different. He ...

Dreams are a process in which the dreamer engages in battles that can lead them straight to hell. This time, Dante was fighting with Middle Eastern mafias, who were just as brutal as his enemies in Europe.

But there was one thing that set them apart: Dante didn’t know them as well as he would have liked.

The fireballs cast by Thranduil were several meters in diameter, all of them extremely large and terrifyingly powerful, instantly killing thousands of enemies on the battlefield.

This immediately attracted the attention of many high-level undead.

Jane, new to all of this—cases, meetings, and the less-than-motivational talks of cruel killers—barely understood that the FBI doesn’t prepare you for what truly matters.

They teach you how to profile murderers, how to read blood like a language… But they don’t teach you how to read the silences of those who will be your partners, your superiors, your friends.
