Chapter 40: Cursed Legacy

Juan's POV

As I watched Nia and X vanish before my eyes, fear gripped my heart like icy claws. The room seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with its oppressive atmosphere. I struggled against my restraints with renewed urgency, fueled by a surge of adrenaline.

With every ounce of strength I could muster, I strained against the chains that bound me. The metal dug into my skin, sending waves of pain coursing through my body, but I ignored it, focusing solely on breaking free.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of relentless effort, the chains gave way with a loud clatter. Blood dripped from my hands, leaving crimson stains on the floor, but I ignored the pain, my focus solely on finding Nia and stopping X before it was too late .I stumbled forward, my limbs shaking with exhaustion and fear. Nia was in danger, and I couldn't afford to waste a single moment.
