Jolene's mind raced with the urgency of the situation as her team gathered around her, concern etched into their faces. She took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure in the face of this unexpected crisis.Duke, the second leader of the shadow guards, spoke up with a worried tone. "What should we do now, ma'am?"Jolene considered her options carefully before responding, "According to young master, he said he has the situation there under control. But I don't want to take any chances. I will send two of us inside. One person will find our first scout, while the second person will protect the young master. I want to..."Before Jolene could finish her sentence, an urgent voice interrupted her, coming from their team hacker. His voice was laced with urgency and astonishment."Ma'am, we have a problem! I'm sorry to cut in, but I think you should see this."Jolene, perplexed, hurried over to the hacker's computer, her heart pounding with unease. The hacker occupied the back of the

In the cramped confines of the van, anger hung thick in the air like a storm cloud. One's face contorted with rage, a pulsing vein throbbing on his forehead, as he engaged in a heated exchange over the phone. His frustration was a wildfire, consuming him from within.The gang members, seasoned and battle-hardened, understood the gravity of the situation. They chose to hold their tongues, their silence a testament to the unspoken rule: question One's authority at your own peril."F*** you! Who the hell are you?!" One's voice thundered through the phone, reverberating with a mix of fury and disbelief. The ensuing silence on the other end of the line was chilling, a mere prelude to the ominous words that followed."I'm someone you should never have crossed," came the reply, dripping with a sinister promise that sent shivers down the spine of everyone in the van. It was a declaration that carried the weight of impending doom.One's anger surged to new heights. What gnawed at him even more

The rain poured down relentlessly as One knelt in agonizing pain, his body ravaged by an unseen force. Zale's malevolent voice echoed in his mind, sending chills down his spine.One's mind was still finding it hard to process what had just happened.Everything felt like a dream to him; it happened awfully fast.Three, still trembling on the ground, watched in horror as her boss, a figure of formidable power, was reduced to a writhing mass of suffering. She had never seen anything like this before, and the fear that gripped her heart threatened to choke her.Even though she had thought of this outcome, it still was a thing of surprise to see it happen in reality. One was an undefeatable figure; he had been in the underworld years before they met. So, watching him get defeated so easily by a mere civilian gave her the biggest shock of her life.'Just what monster did we mess with today?' Three panicked. Her hope of getting out there alive has been crushed. Zale shifted his gaze from O

The van's interior erupted into chaos as Four's command reverberated through the cramped space. The Numbered jolted into action and reached for their concealed weapons, their fingers trembling with adrenaline-fueled anticipation.Outside, Jolene's team had no intention of holding back. With a swift and coordinated movement, they surged forward, their trained instincts taking over as they prepared to confront the Numbered.Jolene chose to step aside and let her shadow guards handle the situation. She knew that they were more than capable of dealing with the threat inside the van. Her true focus lay on uncovering the identity and motives of those who had been sent after them.Her instinct told her that these individuals were somehow connected to the earlier attack on Zale, and she was determined to uncover the truth.Among the Numbered, Six, known for both his strength and bravery, seized a sharp dagger lying nearby and lunged toward the shadow guards now inside the van. He was confi

Despite the initial surprise, the shadow guards immediately moved into action. With ruthless efficiency, they carried out Jolene's orders, ending the lives of the remaining Numbered with a swift and merciless execution.The hacker, overwhelmed by the gruesome scene and the ruthlessness of the shadow guards' action, fainted under Jolene's strong grip. Jolene discarded him without a second thought and continued with her business, deep in contemplation."These are the same people who attacked the young master. Their boss is currently inside the auction venue," she mused aloud, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But why did they choose to attack the young master? That leaves one question unanswered; who the hell sent them?" The shadow guards exchanged silent glances, their expressions inscrutable."Let's go. We need to inform Duke so he can keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals," Jolene ordered, her decisiveness unwavering.Jolene and the two shadow guards returned to their v
