The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 757

"So you called me to tell me all of this. Why not just do it?" I asked, and he laughed.

"I like your confidence. But you won't be confident when I am through. We were royalty, and Dimitri took it all. Wiped us out from history as if we never existed. Covered his father's crimes and made us extinct. We survived him, your father, and we will survive you, Sylvester. You will be the last Volkov to rule. I keep promises and have made you one," he said.

"Very well, we will see who laughs last," I said, and he hung up, laughing.

Yuri's words bothered me.

Not knowing his plans or where he would strike bothered me.

The fact that he chose to harm Jake simply because of association made me realise he had no limits. He was a sick bastard.

David walked up to me and touched my upper arm.

"Do not take his words seriously. All I can see is that Yuri is grabbing on straws," He said, and I frowned at him.

How could he make such a deduction from the call? As far as I was concerned, the man had called to brag that he had me in a corner. He wanted me to know what was happening to me, and he wanted me to feel helpless.

"How can you say that, David? This man wants us to know he has the upper hand," Devin said, taking the words out of my mouth, and David shook his head.

"That is not the reason for the call," David said, and I was attentive.

"The reason for the call is to destabilise us and see if you will break. He thought you were hot-tempered and would slip up out of anger, but your silence took him by surprise. His boast was to push you. If you noticed, his voice went from playful to threatening. Forget about his laugh. He was anything but confident by the time the call ended. He called and got nothing. It also means he has no one in our circle for now. He is moving blind. That is why he reached out," David explained, and putting it that way made a lot of sense, but one could not be too relaxed with Yuri. He seemed unstable and unbalanced. Such people had no limits. He had no soul.

"So what should we do now?" Devin asked.

"Remain on course," I said.

Considering what David said, I figured we were doing something right. I believe Leo had frustrated his efforts to create a north and south demarcation by holding on to the East. Hence his anger towards Leo.

I believe Grey and Richardo were indeed on our side, hence why he promised to end them.

Everything has rendered him blind. And above all, my actions at the King's hall might have made a significant shift.

I won't be surprised if the clan is divided and he has lost people. The call was an act of desperation on Yuri's part, and I got the message loud and clear.

"We will remain on course," I repeated.

"We must be doing something right to have him act this way. This call was to feel for information or destabilise us, as David deduced. He wants us to be busy watching our backs and looking out for one another while he carries out his plans.

He wants us to resolve to solve effects instead of dealing with the cause. I believe what David said about Yuri, and I say we remain on course," I said and headed out.

I wanted to know if Jake had arrived and his condition. I hoped in my heart Erik would be able to do something for him because I could not bear to see my mother's heartbreak.

They had planned to settle down this Bluemoon and relocate to Cains Island as a form of retirement. It will be sad if it never happens because some pissed-off psycho chose to make an example of Jake so he could get to me. It would be unfortunate.

It was time to have everyone on deck.

"Marcel, kindly invite your father. I will need him running things while we deal with this matter," I linked Marcel while I walked towards Erik's lab.

If Jake had truly arrived, I knew he would be in Erik's care, not the infirmary.

"Leo, are they here?" I linked Leo.

"Yes, we have moved him to Erik's lab. He is unconscious, and his skin is grey. We just have to be hopeful," He said, and I moved.

Decisions needed to be made, and we needed to move quickly.
