Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1446

At a secluded villa on the outskirts of the city, Mosby and Rafael sat brooding, their faces dark and twisted with frustration.

Rafael muttered through gritted teeth, "We're still missing the final fragment. And the one we snatched from the Rhodes family? Completely blank. All that effort and the map's still incomplete-and I got stabbed in the damn groin for it! Screw this!"
