Chapter 45: Revelation

As they sped away from the chaos, Kieran's team finally had a chance to catch their breath. Emily's sister was shaken but unharmed.

Kieran turned to Alex, who was still being held captive. "It's time you told us what's going on," he growled.

Alex smirked. "You'll never stop The Shadow," he said. "They're too powerful."

Maya's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Alex leaned forward, a maniacal glint in his eye. "The Shadow is just a front," he said. "The real enemy is someone much more powerful."

Kieran's eyes locked onto Alex. "Who?" he demanded.

Alex smiled. "The true enemy is...the Overseer's creator."

The team exchanged stunned glances. The Overseer's creator was supposed to be a myth, a legendary figure who had disappeared years ago.

But if Alex was telling the truth, that meant the team was in grave danger.
