Kim sat behind the wheel, his eyes glued to the rearview mirror, checking for any signs of pursuit.

Yuhima sat in the passenger seat, her expression cold and professional.

They dropped Maki and Xyron off at the mansion’s gate and departed without a word.

As the car disappeared into the horizon, Xyron turned to Maki.

“You’re heading back to the Academy tomorrow, aren’t you?

You’ve already taken enough leave.” Maki nodded, her eyes downcast.

“I know.

I’ll be fine.” They parted ways, retreating into their separate rooms.

Xyron walked into his study, his mind still heavy with the revelation of his adoption.

But as he approached his workstation, he froze.

Sitting right in front of his PC, where no one should have had access, was a mysterious black box tied with a silver ribbon.

Xyron’s hand hovered over it, his senses on high alert.

No traps, no soul energy signatures—it was perfectly clean.

He cracked the lid open.

Inside lay a single, crisp piece of stationery.

Hi Xyron Gozzaki (who is not really a Gozzaki), I am Mr.

X, the leader of the Titans Group.

I have been watching your ‘progress’ with great interest.

I am extending an invitation: Join the Titans.

We know what you are, and we know what you are capable of.

If you are interested, find the house on the road behind your estate with the red door marked ‘TITANS’.

If you think this is a joke, watch NHK news tonight at 10:30 PM.

A tragedy will occur that will prove our reach.

Xyron felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

“How…

how could they know about my adoption?” He felt like he was being watched from every corner of the room.

Suddenly, the door swung open.

Maki walked in, carrying two mugs of coffee.

Xyron quickly stuffed the letter into his pocket and turned to shield the box.

“Xyron?” Maki asked, her brow furrowing.

“Are you okay?

You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” “It’s nothing,” Xyron said, his voice forced.

“Just tired.” Maki handed him a coffee, her eyes lingering on his posture.

She sensed the tension, but she didn’t push it.

She smiled and closed the door behind her.

As she walked down the hall, her heart did a little skip.

‘Is he hiding something?

Maybe he’s planning a surprise for my birthday,’ she thought, her face turning pink.

‘It’s March 25th in three days…

he’s probably stressing out about the party.’ Little did she know, while she dreamed of birthday cake, Xyron was staring at the clock, waiting for 10:30 PM to see if the world would burn.

Editor’s Comment: The duality of this chapter is chilling.

Maki is living in a bubble of innocent anticipation, believing her brother is planning a birthday surprise, while Xyron is staring into the abyss of a terrorist threat.

The “Mr.

X” of the Titans Group is clearly well-informed, likely having had access to the Gozzaki archives.

Whether Xyron goes to the red door or not, he is no longer the predator—he is the prey.
