** Parker**The flash drive's contents revealed a shocking truth. Diana and Sharon scrolled through the documents in the flash, and we could see all the experiments the evil man had been conducting on human beings, our eyes widening in horror."Jude Liu Kang," I whispered.Diana's face paled. "The infamous leader of the Red Hand hitman."Sharon's eyes narrowed. "And the names of his top lieutenants."The list was extensive, detailing the organization's hierarchy and operations, so unbelievable, so they have been in existence for a long time and nobody knows about it."But what's this?" Diana asked, pointing to a cryptic entry."Project: Eclipse," I read aloud. "Utilizing the Crystal of Eternity to amplify mind-control capabilities and have the power to be immortal forever."Sharon's voice trembled. "He's planning to control the world and use the power for his own benefit. I heard he was sick to the heart." Parker's jaw clenched. "We can't let that happen."The documents revealed Jude

**Parker**Every single day and night became so difficult to survive with our pictures scattered all around New York City.My eyes scanned the city streets, my heart racing with every glance. Diana and Sharon flanked me, their faces set with determination, as they navigated through the crowded sidewalks. The sounds of car horns, chatter, and sirens filled the air, but my focus remained fixed on potential threats."We need to get out of here," I whispered, pulling them into a nearby alley between towering skyscrapers. The narrow passageway provided temporary cover from prying eyes.Suddenly, a poster on the wall caught my eye. The bold, red letters leapt off the page:''WANTED"[Photographs of Parker, Diana, and Sharon stared back at them, their images grainy but unmistakable.]"For High Treason, Conspiracy Against the Government, and Theft of Classified Information."My gut twisted, a cold dread spreading through my veins. Sharon quickly covered her with her soft black scarf."We're t

**PARKER**Sharon walked into the room, a radiant smile spreading across her face as she held out a delicate golden box adorned with intricate patterns and symbols that seemed to dance in the light."Look what I found," Sharon said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Diana's gaze locked onto the box; curiosity piqued. "What is it?" she asked.My interest was evident as I stepped closer to Sharon on the stairs. "Is that...?"Sharon opened the box, revealing a stunning crystal chain that glimmered and shimmered in the light, its facets reflecting hues of blue and purple."The Alpha power crystal necklace," Diana breathed, her eyes wide with wonder.My eyes narrowed. "But something isn't clear to me. I have the same crystal around my neck; it was given to me by Master Chan Liu before I left to join the hitmen. Is this the original or counterfeit?" Hitman Ryder stood up with a long smile glued to his cheek.Sharon's was so surprised to see another crystal on my hand."Right now I'm not

**Diana**My toes and legs hardly felt themselves as I held on to the knife, waiting for the enemy to strike us first. I gradually walked towards Parker, and Sharon was by his side with a sword."Who are you and what business do you have here?" Parker quickly asked the tall, wrinkled man in front of us.He stepped forward towards us slowly with his covered hat on his; we couldn't see who it was until he got closer to our spot."I come in peace, relax. The youth of nowadays are always impatient with everything. I'm here to sympathize with my friend and also to do my own duty as a former hitman and a good friend of James Davidson." He said with his two hands raised midway."James Davidson! That's my father; how the hell did you now, my father? Identify yourself now or see yourself in the ground like your friend." Parker angrily said."I am a friend of your father Parker, and I can see you've grown up to be the man your father wanted you to be. I thank Master Chan for making you happen.

*Parker**Diana's question still rings bell into my ears as we drive closer to Master Chan Liu's abode.I steered the car inside the building through an opened iron-made gate; it all looked suspicious, but I ignored it, knowing fully well that Master isn't an ordinary person.The car tires screeched as I swerved into the compound, Diana and Sharon clinging to their seats. I calmly removed the car key from the ignition, then stepped down first from the car before Diana and Sharon followed.Diana's eyes narrowed. "Parker, why was your name in that note?" She asked curiously as we walked towards the wooden entrance door.My gaze flicked to the rearview glass in the door, checking if there is anything or anyone inside."I don't know; I'm confused as you are Diana." I said finally.Diana's voice rose. "Don't lie to me! You know something. I know we haven't been so close because of my arrogance, but I still have the right to know the connection you have with the flash drive." The seriousnes

**Parker**"WWho are you and who sent you here? Reveal yourself coward." I said as we advanced slowly, but I noticed that the figure wasn't moving at all and wasn't even drawing his weapon, so I kept mine too. Then suddenly he ran very fast towards me and jumped on my body."I've missed you, buddy; where did you run to? You look skinny; what have they been feeding you over there in the hitman's cave, and who's this butch behind you?" Sharon's voice echoes in my ears, and I was so excited to see her too.She had been my childhood friend ever since my parent died and I was taken in by her father. She welcomed me in, and we became best friends. We train together, sleep together, and bathe together till she reaches her liberty age. Then my master had to stop her from going into my room, but she never listened.She was like a sister I was deprived of having when they killed my mother with her pregnancy; she was there when I needed a hug with the dangerous and difficult training Master Chan

Maya stood near the large oak table, her small frame shrinking into itself as if she could somehow disappear into the cold stone floor beneath her feet. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, knuckles white, fingers trembling so violently she feared she would crush the fragile nails she had spent weeks on.The flickering lanterns overhead cast vast grotesque shadows across the war room, each one dancing like a specter taunting her. Every creak of the floorboards, every whisper of wind against the tall windows, made her jump as she pressed herself closer to the wall, wishing she could melt into it.Sweat glistened along her temples despite the chill, and her palms were already slick from fear. She wiped them frantically on her apron, but it did no good. The cold metal of the devices she knew were coming would only make her hands tremble more.When General Jack turned towards her, the weight of his gaze pinned her in place; she almost couldn't breathe, her eyes darted nervously

CHAPTER 8: THE UNKNOWN MASK MAN"Who could he be? How did he know about my rebirth?"General Jack's thoughts battered him like unforgiving waves. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the first assassin waiting for him in this new life, blade aimed exactly where his old heart had failed. Someone knew he had returned. Someone who wasn't supposed to know anything about rebirth, reincarnation, or the shattered timeline."Is it Damian? Or is it Captain Morgan? They are both too sharp to be trusted at this end. "Captain Morgan had promised to get back to me; I hope this isn't his way of doing it?" He mused thoughtfully, "Could he be Ryker, whom I had once attempted to kill but escaped? Or is it the God of War?"A coward, but cowards survive by knowing hidden things, but one name he rules out immediately: "It's definitely not the God of War; he doesn't whisper, he destroys." The room's silence twisted as a coded knock tapped at the door; Jack straightened immediately. "Enter!" Richard, the

"I've always wanted to join you, if you had..." General Jack was cut short. "I don't believe the humble general himself is standing before me!" Captain Morgan uttered, "You never once gave us an audience; you never accepted our offer; our voice was muted from your world." Morgan spoke confidently. His face aimed directly at General Jack and Fabian, sitting at the left corner of his cave, both swallowed in darkness at the same time.General Jack's dressed in his casual black attire, matched up with his trousers and black shoes, clinging to his warm feet."Captain, my visit today says much of what hasn't been said before." Jack adjusted his gaze towards him. "My presence is to form an alliance with you!" He dropped the stone in the water.Captain Morgan's mind was melted in shock; he wasn't expecting a man of his magnitude to form an alliance with an assassin leader.What's hidden about this sudden relationship between an assassin and a truthful general? As he awaits Captain Morgan's

You are such a waste, Ryker."The words cracked across the marble hall like a whip. King George rose from his obsidian throne, every inch of him radiating the fury of a deity long forgotten by mercy. The torches trembled from the pressure of his aura. The God of War disguised in mortal flesh, now letting fragments of divinity leak through.Ryker knelt on the cold floor, arms trembling, chin bleeding from the blow he'd already taken. He tried to lift his head, but the weight of the king's wrath pressed him down like a hand to a dying flame."Jack wasn't supposed to know you have any connection with me," the king spat. "He should have died ignorant, blind, and useless." Ryker swallowed hard. "My king... I don't know how he learned anything about me or you, I swear it." Ryker bowed his head, his eyes etched with regrets. "I'll correct everything; just give me one more chance." Another blow cut him short; blood splattered across the glossy floor, dark and thick. King George stepped clos

The night had begun in pure splendor; silk banners drifted from the carved warm glow of a thousand lanterns. Perfumes of sweet jasmine, lotus, and midnight plum layered the air until the entire hall smelled like a palace. Stringed zithers were in a corner, guests laughed over cups of peach wine, and servants carried trays of gold-plated delicacies.Ashina's appearance was a shocking one to General Jack; he wasn't expecting her presence at the party. Ashina is the only sister General Jack has, the only blood left by their parents before they died.Ashina had never looked happier; her cheeks glowed pink with warmth and laughter, and she moved lightly through the crowd, whispering to her sister, sharing knowing glances with Miller, her fiancé, and touching her belly with an unconscious tenderness she thought no one else had noticed."Ashina is still pregnant!" Jack's memory flashed briefly to the last time he saw Ashina in a pool of blood of her and her child, but now it's just her pregn

Mooresville Palace had not known such feverish activity in years; silk banners unfurled like tongues of flame from the stone balconies, servants scrubbed the courtyard marble until it glimmered like a still lake, and soldiers tightened their formation around the gates in lines so sharp they could cut sunlight.The peace treaty party, the one that didn't exist in Jack's previous lifetime, was becoming a spectacle vast enough to drown an empire. Behind every peaceful act there's always a hidden problem.Jack oversaw it all from the high terrace, hands clasped behind his back; the wind was cold against his bloodless knuckles. Kao was gone, the first wrong from his previous life righted, yet the weight in Jack's chest didn't lift, because the next traitor wore his blood: Damian.Jack's younger brother, his smile was soft, his voice warm, and in Jack's last life, the dagger he drove through Jack's heart was the last warmth he left before dying.Now Damian walked across the courtyard laughi
