“Wait, are you saying he might not be a lifesaver at all? That he could even be the enemy?” Damien gaped at Calliope, struggling to take it in.
If that was true, how could they stroll in here like this—just the two of them, completely exposed? He tensed, worry showing on his face. They should’ve brought Uriah’s entire crew, maybe even rolled in with an armed squad.
Anything less and they were doomed.
This was Black Spider’s home turf, and his people had numbers on their side.
“I wouldn’t go so far as to call him an enemy,” Calliope said, her tone pensive. “It’s hard to say, really. Sometimes he’s a friend, other times he’s absolutely not. It all depends on your luck, honestly.”
“And bringing more people wouldn’t help. He thrives on chaos—gets more unhinged the crazier things get. The more you challenge him, the wilder he gets,” she added. “All I can hope is that he’s doing better these days.”
“Let’s hope to God he is,” Damien said under his breath, fighting to keep his nerves in check. He had a sinking feeling this would be anything but easy. He couldn’t help but worry about how Nigel and the others were faring right now.
“So, uh, Calliope… should we prepare something else before we go in?” he ventured, the anxiety clear in his voice as the car sped along. “If you’re not sure about this, maybe you shouldn’t get involved. I can handle it myself. You don’t owe Nigel anything—it was his decision to come here, and now he’s just dragging you into his mess.”
“But I do owe him,” Damien said quietly. “I should be helping him, not the other way around.”
“Even if it wasn’t for Nigel, I would have come to see Black Spider anyway,” Calliope replied, her voice distant, almost absent. “It’s been too long since I checked up on him.” He was something of a special case for her.
“What exactly is your connection with Black Spider?” Damien asked, skepticism in his voice.
“Doctor and patient, I suppose,” Calliope said after a moment’s reflection.
Damien fell silent. A patient she couldn’t stabilize? That hardly sounded reassuring. He steeled himself, bracing for the worst.

Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
