Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki - Capítulo 5

5: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 5: The Chairman’s Order 5: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 5: The Chairman’s Order Chapter 5: The Chairman’s Order Xyron’s eyes snapped open.

The ceiling was familiar—cracked plaster and the faint scent of old wood.

He wasn’t in the cold, damp cavern anymore.

He was in his own bed, at home.

He sat up slowly, his body feeling heavy and strange.

“I…

I’m back?

But how?” Suddenly, the bedroom door creaked open.

Maki stood there, still wearing her school uniform.

Her eyes were red, a mixture of relief and fury.

“Xyron!

You’re finally awake!” she cried out, dropping her bag on the floor.

“Do you have any idea how long you’ve been out?

You’ve been lying on this bed for a whole week!” “A week?” Xyron’s voice was hoarse.

“But…

who brought me here?” Maki crossed her arms, sighing deeply.

“I got a call from the hospital.

They said a girl named Yuhima brought you in, covered in blood and unconscious.

She stayed until you were stable, and then I brought you home.

I’ve been taking care of you ever since.

Now stay put, I’ll go get you some food.” “No, Maki, I’m fine—” Before he could finish, the doorbell rang, echoing sharply through the small apartment.

Xyron ignored Maki’s protests and stood up.

His legs felt shaky, but he made his way to the door.

Standing there was a man in a sharp black suit, radiating a cold, disciplined energy.

“I am Yujo,” the man said, his voice like ice.

“The Right-hand of the Chairman.” Xyron blinked, recognition hitting him.

“I’ve seen you…

at the Association.

Why are you at my house?” “The Chairman has summoned you,” Yujo replied, not wasting a single breath.

“Come with me.

Now.” “But I just woke up—” “There is no ‘but’,” Yujo interrupted.

“It is a direct order.

Let’s go.” Xyron felt a chill down his spine.

He nodded slowly and followed Yujo to a sleek, black car parked outside.

As they drove through the city, Xyron instinctively reached into his pocket for his phone, but it was empty.

He realized with a jolt that his bag—and his phone—must have been left behind in the chaos of the portal.

Beside him, Yujo drove in silence, his eyes fixed on the road.

But his mind was far from calm.

‘I need to re-check this kid’s rank,’ Yujo thought, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.

‘Something is different about his energy.

Did he really survive that slaughter as a Rank 6?’ [FLASHBACK – Chairman’s Office] Two days ago, the Chairman had looked at Yujo with a gaze that could wither stone.

“Xyron survived another impossible raid.

The moment he wakes up, bring him to the Testing Center.

Re-check his rank.

If there is even a slight increase in his power…

if he has truly ‘awakened’…

then you must kill him, Yujo.” The Chairman had leaned forward, his voice a deadly whisper.

“Remember, you are a Rank 1 Knight for a reason.

Do not let a Gozzaki rise again.” [FLASHBACK OVER] The car screeched to a halt in front of a massive, high-tech building: The Knight Evaluation Center.

Yujo led Xyron inside, past guards who saluted as they passed.

They stopped in front of a large, glowing obsidian pillar—the Rank Evaluation Machine.

“Place your hand on the sensor,” Yujo commanded, his eyes narrowing.

“Let’s see what you’ve become, Xyron Gozzaki.” Xyron took a deep breath.

His hand trembled slightly as he reached out and pressed his palm against the cold, dark surface of the machine.

Editor’s Comment: The moment of truth has arrived!

After a week of slumber, Xyron is dragged into a trap disguised as a test.

The Chairman’s fear of the Gozzaki bloodline has turned into a death warrant.

As the machine begins to read Xyron’s soul energy, will it reveal his Rank 6 status, or will the world see the birth of an S-Rank monster?

The fate of the Last Gozzaki hangs in the balance!
