Chapter 61

As they arrived at HQ, Hoon, Jake, Sam and Leo were greeted with a surprise. The entire team was assembled in the briefing room, their faces grim and determined.

"What's going on?" Hoon asked, his eyes scanning the room.

Their team leader, Rachel, stepped forward. "We've received a message from the Archon," she said. "He's challenging you to a final showdown."

Hoon's eyes narrowed. "What kind of showdown?" he asked.

Rachel's expression was grim. "He's offered to meet with you at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city," she said. "But there's a catch."

"What kind of catch?" Jake asked, his eyes narrowing.

Rachel hesitated. "He's taken a hostage.

Hoon's eyes widened, his face pale. "Who?" he demanded.

Rachel's expression was sympathetic. "It's Elara boss ," she said. "The woman who delivered the Archon's message earlier."

Hoon's eyes flashed with anger. "We have to get her back," he said.

Jake's eyes locked onto Joon's, her expression determined. "We will," he said. "We'll get Elara back, and we'll take down the Archon once and for all."

Leo nodded. "We're with you, Hoon," he said.

Hoon's eyes flashed with gratitude. "Let's do this," he said.

And with that, they set off towards the abandoned factory, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

As Hoon, Jake,Leo and Sam arrived at the abandoned factory, they could feel the tension in the air. The Archon was waiting for them, and Hoon knew that this was going to be a showdown like no other.

They cautiously made their way inside, their guns drawn and their eyes scanning the area. The factory was dimly lit, with shadows cast everywhere.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the factory. The Archon emerged from the shadows, a smug look on his face.

"Welcome, Hoon," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I've been waiting for you."

Hoon's eyes narrowed. "Let Elara go," he said, his voice firm.

The Archon chuckled. "Oh, I don't think so," he said. "Elara is a valuable asset to me. And besides, she's not going anywhere."

Hoon's eyes flashed with anger. "You're not going to get away with this," he said.

The Archon sneered. "We'll see about that," he said, and with that, he snapped his fingers.

A group of heavily armed men emerged from the shadows, surrounding Hoon, Jake, and the guards. The Archon smiled, a cold and calculating smile.

"You're outnumbered and outgunned," he said. "You don't stand a chance."

But Hoon hust smiled, a fierce and determined smile. "We'll see about that," he said.

And with that, the battle began.
