Chapter 329

~Author’s POV~

Ivan grunted but retaliated fast—twisting on his heel and driving a knee into Snow’s side.

Snow absorbed the blow, barely flinching.

He threw a sharp right hook, catching Ivan across the face. The impact snapped Ivan’s head to the side, blood spraying from his mouth as he staggered.

Another explosion rocked the building, shaking the floor beneath them.

Ivan spat blood, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Then he lunged. They collided again, fists flying.

Ivan drove a punch into Snow’s stomach, but Snow barely reacted before slamming his elbow into Ivan’s throat, cutting off his air.

Gasping, Ivan stumbled but managed to grab a broken metal pipe from the debris. With a wild swing, he aimed for Snow’s head.

Snow ducked. The pipe barely missed him, whistling through the air before it struck a crumbling wall.

Snow used the opening to land a devastating punch to Ivan’s jaw. The crack of bone against bone echoed through the chaos. Ivan crashed onto the floor, but before Snow could move in, another explosion sent both men flying.

The blast knocked Snow back, but Ivan was worse off—he rolled dangerously close to the edge of the crumbling floor.

He barely managed to catch onto a beam, his body dangling over the raging fire below.

Smoke billowed around them as Snow, coughing, staggered to his feet.

Ivan’s eyes widened in sheer panic. "Don’t let me fall!" he gasped, his fingers digging into the splintering beam.

Snow stared down at him, his chest heaving as Ivan gasped, eyes wide. "Please... Don’t let me fall!"

Snow caught Ivan’s wrist just before he slipped.

Snow gritted his teeth, his arm straining as he tried to pull Ivan up. "You’re lucky I have a conscience," he muttered, pushing off all thoughts of killing Ivan.

Zade appeared behind them, but before he could get close, a part of the ground fell through, leaving a gaping hole behind. "Hurry up! This place is coming down!" he urged.

Ivan groaned, using his free hand to grip the ledge. For a second, it looked like he might make it. Then, in one swift move, Ivan pulled out a hidden knife from his sleeves.

Zade’s eyes widened. "Snow, watch out!"

But it was too late. Ivan thrust his knife into Snow’s hand, making him hiss in pain and jerk back.

And that was all Ivan needed. With a wicked grin, he used all his strength to push Snow off the ledge.

"SNOW!" Zade roared sharply as he rushed close to the clearing but halted.

Zade snapped his head from side to side, scanning the area. Immediately he rushed back, taking some steps away from the flames as he prepared for the jump.

Snow fell, but as he did, he grabbed onto one of the collapsing beams. His weight yanked it down—straight toward Ivan.

The last explosion detonated, and the ground beneath Ivan crumbled. He screamed as he plummeted—straight into the fire below.

The iron rod pierced through his chest as flames engulfed him.

Zade barely had time to shield himself before the entire building collapsed.

Then, there was silence.

Smoke. Ash was everywhere.

And somewhere beneath the rubble... Snow.
