Chapter 286 Vicious scheme
Benjamin’s voice was soft, almost affectionate as he answered, "Damon. The dragon."
The monster’s smirk twisted into something darker, his eyes gleaming with wicked anticipation. "Ah, yes, that dragon... Damon. We’ll clip his wings, and once we have his power, the World Key will be ours. It’ll be so much easier to extract it once he’s helpless-without those wings, he’s just another beast ready for slaughter."
Kyra’s blood ran cold. She clenched her fists, resisting the urge to lunge at the creature and tear him apart with her bare hands. They were planning to use her use her unborn child-as part of their twisted scheme and Damon. The very thought made her sick, rage boiling beneath her skin. She was nothing more than a pawn to them, a tool in their dark plan to harness the power of the World Key. And Damon... they wanted to mutilate him, break him, and steal his power.
Kyra’s heart pounded in her chest, her fury barely contained. She wouldn’t allow this. She couldn’t. They thought they could use her, use her baby, and bring harm to the people she loved? They had no idea who they were dealing with.
Her eyes locked with Benjamin’s, and for a split second, she saw something in his gaze-something twisted, yet almost admiring. He smiled gently, as though he was proud of her for being so important to their plan.
Kyra’s stomach churned, but she held his gaze without flinching, her voice steady as she spoke, her defiance clear. "You’ll regret this," she said coldly, her voice low but filled with dangerous coldness. "Every last one of you."
The monster only laughed harder, a deep, grating sound that filled the room with malice. "Regret? Oh, little Angel, you’re in no position to make threats." He glanced at Benjamin, his amusement barely contained. "Soon enough, you’ll see. You and that dragon will be nothing but stepping stones in our path."
Kyra swallowed hard, her mind racing with thoughts of escape, of fighting back. She couldn’t afford to lose. Not now. Not with so much on the line. She would find a way to save herself and her child. She had to.
"And Benjamin, prepare to move her to our place tomorrow. We need to take her somewhere... The world key is almost in our grasp," he said with a laugh.
As the horned monster and Benjamin left, Kyra’s heart sank. Their plans were even more threatening than she had feared. The thought of using her to obtain the world key terrified her, but it also strengthened her resolve to escape and destroy this nasty group.
Joy soon brought a meager meal: dry bread, salt, and fried onions. The food was unappetizing, but Kyra ate it, determined to keep her baby nourished. Each bite felt like a small sacrifice for her child’s sake.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she rubbed her stomach gently, her mind racing with thoughts of her baby. "My little one, will you be Mama’s princess or Mama’s boy?" she murmured, a mix of hope and uncertainty in her voice. A smile touched her lips. "What if you’re a wolf? Or a snake... I can’t wait to see if you’re little Vince or little Luca."
