Chapter 49:The Hidden Truth About Luwanto

Mri and his team rushed through the jungle, following the trail Shahid left behind.

> "Shahid's not acting like himself," Jasmine muttered.

> "He's being controlled… or manipulated," Ayang added.

> "But he said something about Luwanto… that he wasn't the villain," Tanuja pointed out.

Mri's fist tightened.

> "We need to find out the truth."

They reached a ruined facility, hidden deep within the jungle. Vines covered the walls, and strange red symbols were carved everywhere.

Inside, they found ancient research logs.

> "Luwanto's final notes…" Ayang whispered, flipping through the pages.

Mri read aloud:

> "Project Primordial was never meant to create destruction. It was meant to restore balance. But they betrayed me."

> "The true villain… is not me. It's the people who stole my research and used it for their own greed."

The team exchanged glances.

> "Wait… then that means…" Tanuja whispered.

Before Mri could respond—the walls cracked.

The air turned cold.

And then—red eyes appeared in the darkness.
