AMONG the crowds, there were two unexpected guests who had managed to slip into the wedding without receiving an invitation.Adara and Zihan, dressed identically as servers. Zihan gently clapped while witnessing the union, while Adara was teary-eyed as she heard her captain’s wedding vows.“Aw, I hope he finds true happiness this time. Captain deserves all the happiness in the world…” Adara was so emotional.Zihan nudged her playfully. “Why are you more emotional than the bride?”“Shut up! This wedding is so beautiful.” Adara’s eyes were dreamy.“If not for the captain, I’d rather sleep back home.” Zihan suddenly looked bored when everyone was preparing for

 ISLA offered no resistance when Max leaned down to kiss her. His lips met hers gently at first, as though giving her time to grow accustomed to his closeness.But when she slipped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, his restraint gradually gave way to something more passionate.Their lips moved together, and Max teased her by gently biting her lower lip between kisses.Isla’s heart raced. She had imagined what it would be like to share a bed with her husband, but experiencing his warmth and closeness was entirely different.Max drew back slightly, his forehead resting against hers. His breathing was uneven, and his eyes searched her face.“I’ll give you a chance to back out if you’re not rea

ISLA stared at her brother, waiting for him to laugh and tell her it was a joke. However, Ivan merely pressed his palm against a scanner beside the golden door.A soft chime sounded, and the heavy doors slowly opened.“Welcome to the real Turner Legacy, little sister.” Ivan stepped inside.Isla hesitated before following him. Beyond the golden doors lay a vast underground facility filled with bright lights, glass walls, and enormous machines.The low hum of equipment filled the air, accompanied by occasional beeping sounds from monitors. Scientists in laboratory gowns moved between stations, examining screens and discussing their work.At first glance, it looked like an ordinary research facility. Then Isla noticed the chambers.There were rows of enormous glass cylinders stood behind a transparent partition. Each contained a human being suspended in a pale liquid, with tubes attached to their bodies and monitors displaying their vital signs.Isla stopped walking. “What… is this place

 MAX returned to work after Isla left. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office.Several days had passed since his wedding, and although he had promised Isla that they would investigate their family secrets together, he couldn’t ignore the growing threats surrounding them.The poisoning incident had confirmed that someone was determined to eliminate him, and that someone was none other than his cousin, Kier. Blaze had given him a detailed investigation report, but he chose not to take action yet. Max needed people he could trust.There was only one group he had in mind.“The Rogue Squad…” he muttered.Max picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts until he found the first name on h

ADARA couldn’t conceal her excitement as soon as she found out that the squad would reunite again after three years without any contact.“I think Lev has arrived,” she announced.Zihan raised an eyebrow. “That was fast. I thought the Arctic Fox was still hunting in the Himalayas.”“He was. Apparently, the Captain’s call is obviously more important than whatever he was hunting.”Zihan chuckled. “Sounds like Lev. He could be tracking a target across an entire mountain range, but if the Captain calls, he’ll abandon the hunt without hesitation. Even I would do the same.”Before Adara could respond, the sound of an approaching vehicle caught their attention. Through the window, they saw a tall man stepping out of a black SUV. He wore a dark winter jacket, black trousers, and heavy boots, carrying a compact travel bag over one shoulder. His sharp eyes surveyed the estate before he headed toward the mansion.Lev Kuznetsov had arrived.Adara walked toward the entrance to greet him.“It’s been
