HappyNovelChapter 223 Within minutes, we're stopping on the helicopter pad at the far back of the castle just through the trees where most of my guards are also housed in the cabins out here. As we pull up, the whirling blades drown out the sound of my rapid breathing. As we reach the helipad, two helicopters are prepped and ready for take-off. One for Damian's team, another for mine.
As I step out onto the tarmac, people snap to attention. All I give them is a look and then we're breaking off into our designated teams into the two helicopters. With a hard clap on Damian's shoulder I give him a curt nod and head for the chopper. My heart throbs with anticipation as I step on and take my seat, my gaze fixed at the steadily lightening horizon where darkness is dissolving to dawn's soft colors. Today is the day it ends; either Clyde goes down or we do. I allow no space for any other outcin my thoughts.

"Anything you needto do?" he asks, his voice hardly a whisper over the deafening rotors.
"No, just get us there alive. Damian has everything organized," I tell him and he nods, Kieren would have been the one flying the guard out to scout last night, so I know he must be getting tired but only a handful of my men know how to fly.
Chapter 223 17388 Vouchers As we gradually ascend, the castle shrinks into a small speck and the world outside my window starts to blur into hues of green and blue. The helicopter ride is silent; I spend it gazing out at the sparse landscape. The horizon starts to bleed softly. with shades of violet and rose as dawn approaches. The sun would rise soon and then it would begin. The flight isn't long, just over two hours, and my ears, despite the ear muffs, are ringing from the sound of the blades.
Once we arrive, we split up into two cars and drive out. The ride was the worst part. Knowing we were minutes away from what could be a deadly face-off made the tension in the cars palpable, the air thick with anticipation and nerves. As we skidded onto a dirt track winding through the thick forest, I feel my heart begin to pace faster. The sunshine filtering through the dense canopy of trees is distorted by the swirling dust, making it a bitch to see.
The salty scent of the ocean grows stronger as we approach, mingling with the cool morning air. I can feel the anticipation. thrumming through my men-it's like the calm before a storm, the air thick with the promise of violence.

Kieren nudges my shoulder, his eyes flicking toward a cluster of armed guards positioned near the trucks. "Ten men, maybe more hiding behind the trucks." I nod, formulating a plan in my head. "We hit fast and hard. Take out the guards first, then go for Rhett and Clyde. No one escapes." He grins. "Sounds like fun."
I lift my hand, signaling the scouts to move into position. My heart pounds in my chest, not from fear but from ve anticipation of finally ending this. As we get into position, Kieren sends a few men to clear the guards we can't see.
