Chapter 5979
The room fell silent.
Not the heavy, mythic hush of the Reincarnation Realmâthis was smaller, meaner, the silence of cheap walls and men who hadnât expected resistance.
Three figures stood between the peeling sofa and the narrow door. Leather jackets. Gold chains. Smiles sharpened by habit. One of them held a ledger; another toyed with a baton he hadnât bothered to hide. Their eyes slid from Jaredâs blood-smeared face to the trembling woman behind him.
His mother.
Her hair had gone mostly gray since the last time he remembered seeing it. Not dignified grayâtired gray. The kind that came from nights without sleep and mornings that asked for money she didnât have. When she saw Jared, her breath hitched, halfway between relief and fear.
âJared?â Her voice wavered, like she wasnât sure saying his name would make him real. âWhy are you here? You shouldnât be hereâgo, go nowââ
One of the men laughed, a short bark. âAh. So this is the son.â He looked Jared up and down, unimpressed. âSkinny. Thought youâd be bigger, the way she talks about you.â
