The two assassins met their end. The masked man sneered at the assassins lying in a pool of blood, eyes widened. He scoffed and spat, “Worthless, incompetent fools! I have to do everything myself.”He doused the abandoned villa with gas and flicked a lighter. Immediately after, the villa turned into an inferno with a resounding whoosh. The masked man stood at the entrance for a while before driving away.The following day, Xayne received a call from Harold as he sat by Serena and Coco’s bedside. Harold reported, “Sir, someone set a villa in Shalholm’s outskirts ablaze. We recovered two male bodies at the scene. They were likely involved in the attempted assassination.”“All right, I’ll be there soon,” Xayne replied and hung up the phone.Serena looked at him curiously and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Xayne smiled. “It’s nothing. Some friends of mine found out I’m back and want to discuss something with me.”Serena only nodded.Xayne quickly left the hospital and

At that moment, Ace and four soldiers in military uniforms approached."Attention!""Salute!"Ace sternly reported, “Sir, these four are colleagues from the intelligence department. They rushed here overnight from the Northern Plains.”Each of the four soldiers held a silver briefcase. They stood at attention and saluted, “Supreme Commander, sir!”Xayne nodded. "Let's begin.""Yes, sir!" The four soldiers opened the silver briefcases and began extracting evidence from the scene.Harold smiled as he observed them, saying, “Mr. Xayne, though we belong to different divisions, our capabilities are similar. There aren’t valuable clues left here. You might be wasting your time.”Xayne gazed at Harold indifferently. “Chief Harold, sometimes there are leads you can’t uncover. We can help with that.”Harold shivered. Although he smiled, he still felt doubtful. After all, he had faith in the personnel from his division. Even those investigating the leads could not help but feel resentme

“Dammit, no wonder those five losers failed. So, you’re the mastermind behind last night. So what if you dodged a bullet? Can you dodge them all? Prepare to die!” The assassin unleashed a barrage of shots at Xayne.Clang! Clang! Clang!Xayne raised his hand as soon as the assassin fired. The former shot several throwing needles with a flick of his wrist. Four intercepted the bullets, altering the bullets’ trajectory.As a Supreme Commander, Xayne possessed unrivaled speed and strength. Skills like using throwing needles were second nature to him. Stephen had forged Xayne’s thirty-six Spirit Needles with steel. They could even pierce through steel plates.Stephen had specifically gifted them to Xayne, intending to teach him the art of acupuncture. The former had imparted all of his medical expertise to Xayne. Although Xayne did not use these skills often, he always carried the thirty-six Spirit Needles.They were not only for saving lives but also formidable weapons. Xayne had also

With an enemy lurking in the dark, Xayne felt a growing concern for Serena and Coco.Ace arrived, asking, “Sir, are you okay?”Xayne’s expression was cold and determined as he looked at Ace. “I’m fine. There’s no longer a need to investigate the fire. From now on, you’ll stay with Serena and Coco to ensure their safety. The enemy will strike again.“Yes, sir!” Ace responded resolutely.When Xayne returned to Serena’s side, she looked at him worriedly. “How are you? They didn’t harm you, did they?”She was concerned, knowing Xayne had killed someone, even if it was to save her. Xayne smiled reassuringly and shook his head, saying, “It’s okay. They’ve sorted everything out. That man was a wanted criminal who had taken over twenty lives.“He was desperate and took you two hostage to escape. I’ve served this country, so they wanted to commend me for bravery, but I declined.”Serena sighed in relief upon hearing Xayne’s cheerful explanation. She playfully glared at him and said, “Don

Sophia nodded. “It's done.”She sent Serena and Coco’s photos to Marco and their hospital address and ward number.On the other side, Marco noticed his phone lighting up on the table. He glanced at it and saw a seventy-five thousand dollar deposit. Marco laughed heartily and opened the message. After reading it, he clapped to signal everyone in the private room to stop.He exclaimed, “Brethren, we have a job! Let’s finish our drinks and hit the road!”Half an hour later, Marco and his dozen men arrived in several sleek cars at the hospital. However, they saw an overwhelming number of patrol officers as they approached."Marco, what's going on? Why are there so many cops around?" One of his underlings asked anxiously.Marco smacked his head and scolded, "Why are you panicking, moron?! We haven't done anything wrong. Follow me."He led his crew straight into the hospital. He followed Sophia’s provided information and went up to the third floor. The group found two officers station
