The Last Embrace Chapter 466
Advertisement
That night at 10:00 in the evening after spending dinner with his family, Adam teleported to his condo in the city to check on Caden.
Caden was playing online games on his phone on the terrace, from time to time he would take a look at the swimming pool below. He was in that condition when Adam suddenly materializes in the living room.
Out of the corner of his eyes Caden saw a figure standing in the living room and his eyes went saucer-like to see the familiar visitor. "Adam bru, Gavin Sanders!"
He sprinted into the living room and hugged his friend tightly. "Long time no see! I'm so happy to see you again!"
Adam smiled broadly while checking out Caden's face. "How are you doing? And how're the businesses while I'm away?" he inquired.
"Everything went well. I followed all your instructions. Aunt Ruby and Aunt Ruth guided me all the way. So... all is well with me here while you're away," replied Caden enthusiastically.
"Excellent bro!" Adam praised Caden's performance.
"So — are you gonna come back here for good — this time?" Caden asked.
"Maybe yes and maybe not. I still have to find Jessy and talk with her regarding my plans now that I'm back in the outside world," Adam answered.
"How about you and your brother, bro? Have you succeeded in seeking his forgiveness?"
Adam smiled. "Yes, of course. My brother and I are now in good terms. Everything is good at my end, family-wise."
"Wow! I'm so happy for you, bro, your sacrifices have paid off!"
"Yeah. It's one of the most amazing things that ever happened to me. My brother and I — are in good terms now so I want to celebrate it with Jessy. I'll be leaving now to find her in the city. See you again one of these days, bro," Adam said farewell to his friend.

With just a blink of an eye Adam disappeared from the living room.
"Bye bro," Caden murmured and went back to the terrace to continue playing online games on his phone.
...
Adam landed on the mansion.
The house is dark which means the occupants were already sleeping.
He checked Jessy's room and also his room, empty!
Where is Jessy right now? It's already nearing 11:00... time for resting and sleeping. Why she's still not here?
He will try going to the city maybe he can find her there. He just wants to see her because it's already been three weeks since the last time she visited him in the prison room.
Adam teleported back to the city to find his lady love. As long she's somewhere in the city, he can easily locate her due to her unique scent. He won't go to sleep tonight unless he can find her. He's very excited to share the good news with her.
...
A few miles away in the heart of the city...
In a secluded location.
Jessy, Oliver, together with Colonel Brown, Capt. Mercado and Police Chief Jackson gathered inside the room in a private hideout owned by the city government. It's going to be a top-secret meeting tonight. They're waiting patiently for the arrival of General Smith for the presentation.
Oliver had prepared everything, all the files and data of the year-long results of Jessy's relentless and untiring hard work, solving hard and complex cases, and capturing fugitives were already sent to General Smith and the President.
Now is the time for General Smith to meet them and everyone was feeling restless but optimistic about the outcome of tonight's meeting.
They already sent the complete copy of the files to General Smith and the President's office last week and General Smith agreed to come to this secret meeting.

The torture drags on because the general is super duper late.
One hour later, when the clock was about to strike at midnight...
General Smith together with his entourage of twenty military bodyguards wearing a full armor bodysuit, arrived in the building.
He was ushered to the meeting room escorted by his bodyguards.
Everyone in the room saluted to General Smith the moment he entered the room.
He got a fierce expression on his face while his eyes scanned the room.
He sat on the chair in front of everyone. His eyes lingered on his subordinate, the three men in uniform.
"Men, I am very disappointed that you have been conniving with our enemy and trying to lure her with the clemency agreement for the surviving vampires. You guys, above everyone else knows that we have a policy not to collude or enter a deal with an enemy...yet you have been doing this for a year now behind my back!" General Smith reprimanded the officers that were conniving with the crossbred.
Jessy shut her eyes for a moment. She didn't expect that General Smith's reaction to this meeting would be negative. But before this final day arrived, the officers already told her that there's a 50/50 chance that this meeting might not end in a good way.
Jessy and Colonel Brown looked at each other.
Time for Plan B.
But before Jessy can do something...
More military men entered the room and circled Jessy's friends.
The atmosphere in the room becomes tense.
Colonel Brown shook his head slowly as if warning Jessy not to do anything stupid at this very moment.
General Smith spoke. "Men take these officers into the other room, watch over them and wait for my further instruction," he barked his command. "I'll just want to have a chitchat with the Crossbred," he said.
Colonel Brown, Capt. Mercado, Police Chief Jackson, and Oliver were taken out of the room.
This time, only General Smith and Jessy were left in the room.
Jessy stared hard at the General, she tried not to show any emotion on her face. The general after all is just a human being. She can easily freeze him with just her gaze or a slight move of her fingers and walk out of the room, free, and rescue her companions in the next room.
But — she wants to know what is the General's plan?
General Smith stared at the young woman in front of her. He had read the dossier containing her remarkable and extraordinary contribution when it comes to finding those hard to find fugitives and criminals, most of the time she could locate and save kidnap victims from their abductors before something bad will happen to them. He was deeply impressed by her fantastic records.
"Agent X, I know that you want the clemency for the surviving vampires hiding in the Facility, that's why you agreed to work for the government hoping that the President will give clemency to your clan. Am I right?" he began.
Jessy nodded her head. "Yes, Sir. That's all true," she replied.
"You are also aware that vampires had savagely killed many people in the past?" he said eyeing her warily.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
