But when it comes to legality and morality, you forget everything, even the people who care about you, if power is involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words struck harder than any accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank watched his son’s retreating back, resentment slowly curling in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Silas would have helped his father rise. Jade is different... too different,’ he thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade had always been indifferent to status, often insisting that Frank should stop fighting for control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he had kept those opinions to himself. Now, he spoke them openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Someday, he will understand. Someday he will come back to my side.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far from that confrontation, Damien arrived at the entrance of the city base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped inside, the atmosphere itself seemed to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had been a bright, breezy afternoon slowly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds gathered unnaturally fast, swallowing the sunlight. A cold wind swept through the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then rain began to fall. Not gently. Heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the sky itself recoiled from his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien walked calmly through the downpour, his footsteps steady, heading toward a modest residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ivy had been there, she would have recognized it immediately; it belonged to one of the guards who had recently grown very close to a girl named Angelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stopped at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand. Knocked. The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall, broad-shouldered man stood there, his figure imposing despite the ordinary clothes. His presence alone suggested he could handle several attackers at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Archie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie frowned at the unfamiliar visitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" he demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien looked at him... and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile was wrong. Too slow. Too cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind of smile that made instinct scream danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to take Angelina,\" Damien said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie’s eyes narrowed. \"And who are you supposed to be to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien tilted his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am her fiancé.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible,\" Archie snapped. \"Angelina is engaged to me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien raised three fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will give you three seconds to move,\" he said. \"If you don’t, I will kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not intimidated by empty threats. Leave now, or I’ll call security and have you permanently banned from....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien lowered one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another. Then the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Archie could even react... Damien moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single fluid motion, he twisted Archie’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie’s vision suddenly shifted. For a split second, he saw his own house from an impossible angle, as though the world itself had rotated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything went black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed to the floor, dead before his body even realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn’t have talked so much,\" he murmured. \"It gives me a headache.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped over the body and entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Angelina lay asleep on the couch, unaware of the storm raging outside, or the horror that had just entered her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a powerful hand wrapped around her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina’s eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled instantly, clawing at Damien’s grip, but it was like trying to pry apart iron. His strength was overwhelming, absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien looked down at her as if deciding whether to kill her immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear flooded Angelina’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thrashed, gasping, trying to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"P-Please... forgive me... I made a mistake ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What use is an apology?\" he asked softly. \"You already betrayed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina shook her head desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien pulled her closer until their faces were inches apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think I wouldn’t find out?\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think running to Ivy, playing the righteous human trying to save the world, would make you noble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t matter. You cannot change anything. You cannot save humanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina’s pupils trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien’s voice turned colder than the rain outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will kill you now. And after that... I will take over this entire base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer, his words like a sentence already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when I take control, I will reshape humanity itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, terrifying smile formed on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will make them all... my slaves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see their faces when they discovered that there had been a woman who helped him obtain the body he now possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see humanity turn on Angelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, it would be poetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the whole world begins to hate you,\" Damien whispered, his grip tightening around her throat, \"you will finally understand that your kindness was nothing but stupidity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina shook her head desperately, her fingers clawing weakly at his hand. Her vision blurred, dark spots forming at the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... helped you...\" she choked. \"At least let me go because of that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien chuckled, the sound low and merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That help was nothing more than a trivial favor,\" he said. \"And for such a small favor... I will allow you to die in one piece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina could feel her life slipping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lungs burned. Her body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is it... I’m going to die...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>............................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped. Her eyes flew open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina sat upright, startled, her heart hammering violently against her ribs. She looked around in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie’s bedroom. The familiar walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint scent of detergent from freshly washed sheets lingered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she could not understand what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did Damien make me unconscious and now want to hurt me?’ she thought in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear surged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he was hiding somewhere. Waiting. Watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully looked around the apartment, her movements slow and cautious, like a thief afraid of making noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every shadow seemed suspicious. Every corner felt threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing was there. Silence. Stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then realization slowly dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Damien had truly arrived, it would have rained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelina rushed to the window and looked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was completely dry. There had been no rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien had never come.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-05T15:12:45.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","971766eed1dc7485b62d030a6fa49600861e33b81b489359346268bf13fb3961","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-523","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-521",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
