Or ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her name was spoken in a low, familiar voice. She turned around sharply, her heart skipping a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing just a few steps away was a tall, handsome man—his clothes dusty, his expression weary, but his smile genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marco...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen gasped, her emotions overwhelming her. She rushed to him and threw her arms around his neck, holding him tightly as if afraid he might vanish if she let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re safe... I can’t believe it—you’re really safe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marco chuckled softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. You didn’t think I’d let the world end without finding you first, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief, fleeting moment, Karen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the old days again—the warmth of his touch, the steady comfort of his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, her smile slowly faded. Reality crept back in like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deal she had made. The promise she had given in desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s chest tightened. She couldn’t meet Marco’s eyes anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt swirled inside her like a storm, twisting and clawing at her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how to explain any of it—what she had agreed to, or what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen took a shaky breath, forcing a smile she didn’t feel. \"I’m just... so glad you’re here,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marco smiled warmly, unaware of the shadow looming over them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing’s ever going to separate us again,\" he said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s stomach twisted at his words. If only he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because somewhere above them—far beyond the safety of the bunker—Ross was watching everything unfold through a live feed, a faint smile curling on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Karen knew, in her heart, that Marco was about to face the shock of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was nothing she could do to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another hour passed before the final phase of the evacuation concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of armored boots thundered through the underground corridors as dozens of tall men in full combat suits entered the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one carried advanced weaponry—sleek rifles, reinforced suits, and sidearms polished to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their visors reflected the dim red lights of the entry bay, and the rhythmic clank of metal echoed like a heartbeat across the vast chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the final moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grinding roar, the colossal gates of the bunker slid shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layer after layer of steel interlocked until even sound seemed to vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint tremor that followed made it feel as though the earth itself had sealed them off from the dying world above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, there was only silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ross’s voice filled the air—calm, smooth, and utterly in control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention. Requesting everyone to gather in the main hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcement reverberated through the halls. Families stirred from their quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers formed lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly arrived civilians moved uncertainly, whispering to one another as they followed the illuminated signs toward the grand central hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took five minutes before everyone assembled—hundreds of anxious faces staring up at the raised dais.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall itself was immense, reinforced by titanium beams, the air faintly humming with electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a cathedral built for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the sound of approaching footsteps drew everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He descended from an upper corridor with Althea at his side, her crimson hair glowing under the white lights like liquid fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty alone was enough to command silence, but beside Ross—tall, composed, and radiating quiet authority—they looked like a pair out of myth, the king and queen of this underground realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross stopped before the crowd, resting his hands on the steel railing of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His piercing gaze swept the hall as though measuring every soul before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally spoke, his voice carried with it both warmth and unshakable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today,\" he began slowly, \"marks one of the darkest days in human history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy pause followed. Even the children stopped whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not know the exact hour it would come... but I have always been ready to plan against everything. For years, I have prepared—quietly, patiently—for the collapse of the world above if it would happen. And while I could not save everyone, I ensured that those closest to me—those who matter—would be with me in these hard times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd exchanged glances. Some looked grateful. Others uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As of now, there are five hundred and sixty-nine of us here. Among you are my wives, my children, my in-laws, my friends, and my soldiers. Every one of you was chosen for a reason. Though the surface has fallen into chaos, down here, we begin anew. We survive. We build. And we rise again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a glass that shimmered gold under the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome... to Aegis. Our refuge. Our fortress. Our new home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of applause followed. Some clapped eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others hesitated, unsure what kind of future they had just stepped into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, food was brought out—real food, not rations—and the smell of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, people almost forgot the screams echoing in the cities above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross’s soldiers distributed sleek black phones to everyone—devices engraved with a strange sigil. \"These will function within Aegis even if all communication dies outside,\" Ross explained. \"Consider them a lifeline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time midnight arrived, the once-bustling hall had quieted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Families retreated to their assigned quarters. Guards took positions in every hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hum of generators became the lullaby of a world reborn underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen lay awake on her bed, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind replayed the chaos of the last two days—the screams, the blood, the rescue, Ross’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything felt unreal. Her parents and sisters were safe in their room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone vibrated softly on the nightstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen frowned and reached for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one message on the glowing screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come outside. My men will help you find me.—R\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-09T06:19:05.005Z",1,"novelbin.me","db223d30091291166bd8b8b26baa987a4401ce4d37489dbe05f3391c606fcfc0","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-1014","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-1012",1212,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevil-mc-s-ntr-harem-cover.jpg"]
