Death Wish

Warlock Ch 181. Death Wish

The street was quiet, with only the occasional passerby. Damian walked with his hands in his pockets, his mind racing. He wasn't worried about Evelyn opposing the mission—deep down, he knew she'd understand. But that didn't make it any easier to break the news to her.

"How do you tell someone you're diving headfirst into a mess tied to your past without making it sound like a death wish?" he muttered to himself, kicking a small stone down the cobblestone path. "Maybe I should just rip the bandage off."

Lost in thought, Damian barely noticed the way people turned their heads as he passed. He wasn't exactly someone who blended into the background, but this felt different. It wasn't until a woman gasped and whispered something to her companion that Damian finally frowned and glanced around. Nothing seemed off—no glowing warlock mark, no tattered cloak. So why the stares?
