Bang! However, just then, the door was successfully broken into. With the pressure of several ferocious kicks from not only Frederick but with a few guards, the door stood no chance and was ripped off its hinges. Bang! Right after that, it fell on the floor with an alarming sound that jerked everyone as it came unexpectedly. Next thing, they caught such a horrible sight on the floor, and also a deadly man holding a sword. As soon as his gaze locked on them, their hearts seemed to have flown to their throats “Who are you?” Fredrick asked with gritted teeth. The other time, Caroline was kidnapped, and now a deadly assassin had come to her office. But for what reason? “Fredrick, stay away, he is dangerous,” Shadow said as he fell to a knee. Blood kept oozing out of his open wounds, and it was only by a miracle that he was still conscious. “What's going on here? You have lost so much blood.” Frederick's eyes widened even more. “Go, take him to the hospital right away.” He said to t

He looked and saw August, who should be on one knee, was now standing and looking at him with a deadly glint in his eyes. He didn't look like he was affected by the bullet he was shot with. “Attack him!” The lieutenant gave a go-ahead as he could feel a rise in power inside August. But then, it was late. Now that August had confirmed Caroline wasn't taken, his attention had returned to the battle and also, and his powers suddenly took a boost. Even his eyes had a kind of glow in it that reflected his power. He clasped his finger tightly as a realization dawned on him. “I'm back to my original level. The legendary grandmaster level.” It was right at when his emotions were heightened was when he felt the surge of power. Well, now that such a thing had happened, what was left was to round up this battle. Bang! August bounced on his feet for an instant and the next thing, he darted off at a speed that was so hard for them to see. What echoed in the air next was the sound of bones

It took just thirty minutes before August arrived at the hospital. However, he noticed a certain number had been trying to reach him all this time. Since his phone had been destroyed earlier, he found this one randomly on the floor and inserted his SIM card into it. His contact was yet to sync, so any new number that would call would appear with no name. As for David, he knew his number already, so it wasn’t a big deal to get to him. “Hello,” August picked up the phone before the last ring. “Boss, I have been trying to get to you for a long time.” It was Ayden. His nervous voice came from the other side of the phone, and given how familiar it sounded, it didn’t take long before August knew it was him. A frown settled on his face, and he asked. “What’s wrong?” He could already sense there was trouble. Could he get a break at all? It was always one problem after another. He was yet to see Shadow's situation whether there would be a hope of recovery or not. “Sir, one of the wo

August stared at how miserable his wife sat on the floor and felt his heart wrench in pain. He knew there was no amount of words he could tell her that would soothe her mood when there wasn’t a possible outcome yet.She was such a good and kind woman; that was why she felt guilty for what happened to Shadow. He wouldn’t blame her. What he owed her was to make sure things became better.He looked at the doctor and said, “That’s not true. I’ll bring someone here who can make a difference. Just wait and see.” He said before helping Caroline up to sit on the chair close to the ward.He didn’t try to say anything else, but instead he went off to look for David to ask him how it was going as he had gone to call Maddie over on the phone.…Meanwhile, at the lobby. David nervously held out his phone and dialed a number. As it started ringing, he inhaled sharply and braced himself for what was coming.“Hello, David. Is that you?” A feminine voice came from the other side, sounding surprised.

The man had white hair, a calm temperament, and was even smiling, but deep in his eyes, there was a deadly glint. The way he walked up to her was as though he could navigate through the shadows and thus not make even a single sound.“You were not sent my August to come pick me up. Who are you?” Maddie asked as she began to take steps backward. Her instinct kicked in, and of course, she could sense the impending danger.“You must have heard of the council, right? They sent me to bring you in. We can’t let you go to August and save his subordinate. It’s either you come with me willingly or I’ll have to chop your legs and drag your body off with me.” The man was named Whitefang said.Of course, he didn’t have an easy identity, and the fact that he was sent alone to abduct Maddie meant that his abilities were far beyond the likes of Scarface and so on. Right after he spoke, he pulled out a dagger and pointed it at her.Maddie’s heart skipped a beat. She had thought she could just come her
