Chapter 432:
"So there could be people out there," Debra Zachs said slowly, "people with claims on your father, people with reasons to want his body, and you would have no knowledge of them?""Yes," Nurse Evans immediately admitted. "Father had secrets. Lots of them. Things he never shared with anyone, not even his most trusted lieutenants. If this woman is connected to one of those secrets, we would never know."General Carl Gerald's hands clenched into fists at his sides. Another dead end. Another "I don't know." It was maddening."Listen to me very carefully," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "Both of you. Your brother claims ignorance.”“You claim ignorance. Maybe you're telling the truth. Maybe you genuinely had no knowledge of this attack. But understand this: if we discover any connection, any involvement whatsoever, you will both face execution for Mrs. Juliet Marcus's murder."Sara Gerald nodded, her face streaked with tears but her voice firm. "Consider yourselves already dead if
Chapter 433:
The Elite Division headquarters was unusually quiet when General Carl Gerald and his team returned from the maximum-security facility.The usual bustle of activity had been replaced by a somber atmosphere that hung over the entire building like a shroud. Elite Divisions Officers moved through the corridors with subdued expressions, speaking in hushed tones. Everyone had heard about Mrs. Juliet Marcus by now.General Carl Gerald walked directly to the main conference room, his steps heavy with exhaustion and grief. Sara Gerald, Debra Zachs, and Detective Steve followed close behind, each lost in their own thoughts about the day's tragic events.Captain Carlos was already waiting in the conference room, along with Agent Rodriguez, Lieutenant Alex, and several other senior officers. They all stood as General Carl Gerald entered, their faces reflecting the same mixture of sorrow and determination that he felt."Sit down, everyone," General Carl Gerald said quietly, taking his seat at
Chapter 434:
"Tomorrow then," Sara Gerald immediately suggested gently. "We go tomorrow. Give ourselves tonight to gather our thoughts and our strength. Mrs. Anna Marcus and Victor deserve our best, not us showing up emotionally compromised and unprepared."Debra Zachs pulled out her tablet, her professional instincts taking over even through her grief."We should coordinate with the Elite Division's family support services. They can provide counseling resources, financial assistance if needed, help with funeral arrangements...""I'll handle the funeral arrangements personally," General Carl Gerald said firmly. "Full military honors. Every resource of the Elite Division at their disposal. Mrs. Juliet Marcus died in the line of duty, protecting her commanding officer. She deserves nothing less than our absolute best.""Agreed," Captain Carlos immediately said. "I'll make sure everything is prepared. The ceremony, the honor guard, everything."Agent Rodriguez cleared his throat. "General Carl Gera
Chapter 435:
The team began to disperse, but Sara Gerald lingered, waiting until the room had emptied except for her and her brother."Carl," she said softly, "are you going to be okay tonight? Do you want me to stay with you?"General Carl Gerald shook his head. "No. Thank you, but no. I need some time alone. Time to think, to process everything that's happened. And time to figure out what I'm going to say to Mrs. Anna Marcus tomorrow.""You know where I am if you need me," Sara immediately said, hugging him tightly. "Don't hesitate to call, no matter what time it is.""I won't," General Carl Gerald promised, returning the embrace. "Thank you, Sara. For everything. For being here today, for supporting me through all of this."Sara pulled back, looking at him with concern. "That's what family does, Carl. We support each other. Always."After she left, General Carl Gerald stood alone in the conference room for a long time, staring out the window at the darkening sky.Somewhere out there, Mrs. Anna

General Carl Gerald nodded. "Good thinking. Debra Zachs, can you arrange that?""Already done," Debra Zachs said, gesturing to a carefully folded American flag resting on a side table. "I picked it up from the ceremonial office this morning.""Thank you," General Carl Gerald said quietly.At exactly nine o'clock, they walked out to the waiting vehicles. Two unmarked cars, black and discreet. This wasn't an official military convoy…this was a private, personal visit to deliver devastating news to a grieving family.General Carl Gerald and Sara climbed into the first vehicle, with Detective Steve driving.Debra Zachs and Captain Carlos took the second car. They all immediately pulled out of the Elite Division compound and headed toward the Riverside District, toward Elm Street, toward a house where two people's lives were about to be forever changed.The drive took thirty minutes through morning traffic. No one spoke much at the moment. Sara Gerald immediately stared out the window,
Chapter 437:
A young man appeared in the hallway Victor, clearly Mrs. Juliet Marcus's brother based on the family resemblance.He was in his mid-twenties, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, his hair still messy from sleep.He took one look at the group on the porch, at his mother's stricken expression, and his face went pale."No," he said, shaking his head. "No, no, no. Don't say it. Please don't say it."Mrs. Anna Marcus began to sway, and Sara immediately stepped forward to support her."Mrs. Marcus, please, let's go inside," Sara said gently. "You should sit down.""Tell me now," Mrs. Anna Marcus demanded, her voice rising with panic. "Tell me right now what's happened to my daughter! Where is Juliet?!"General Carl Gerald's throat tightened, but he forced himself to speak clearly and firmly."Mrs. Anna Marcus, Victor Marcus, I'm so sorry. Yesterday, during an operation, your daughter Mrs Juliet Marcus was killed in the line of duty. She died saving my life. She was a hero."For a moment, everyt
Chapter 438:
"But she was," Mrs. Anna Marcus immediately replied. "And knowing my Juliet, she didn't hesitate.”“That's who she was. Always putting others first. Always helping, always protecting."Fresh tears streamed down Mrs Anna Marcus's face. "And now she's gone. My beautiful girl is gone."Victor had been silent for a while, but now he spoke up, his voice oddly calm and determined."I want to join the Elite Division." Victor immediately said, his voice was laced with a mixture of emotions and feelings.Everyone immediately turned to look at him in surprise."Victor," Sara said gently, "I don't think now is the time to make decisions like…”"I want to join," Victor immediately interrupted, his eyes fixed on General Carl Gerald."My sister served. She died serving. The least I can do is follow in her footsteps. And I want to help find the people who killed her. I want to be part of bringing them to justice." He immediately said.General Carl Gerald studied him carefully, seeing in Victor's fac
Chapter 439:
Maya Denver's pacing grew more agitated as she circled the two caskets now resting on makeshift platforms in the center of the warehouse.Her boots echoed against the concrete floor with each sharp step, the sound punctuating her rising fury."General Carl Gerald," she spat the name like poison. "That self-righteous bastard thinks he can just murder my family and walk away unpunished? He thinks his precious Elite Division makes him untouchable?"She stopped abruptly, her hands gripping the edge of Lord Denver's casket so tightly her knuckles turned white.Her breath came in anger gasps as she stared down at the ornate wooden box."Uncle Denver," she whispered, her voice breaking. "I'm so sorry. I should have been there. I should have protected you both."Tears began streaming down her face, carving tracks through her carefully applied makeup."You were always there for me, Uncle Denver. When my father died, when I had nowhere to go, you took me in.”“You gave me purpose. You taught m
Chapter 440:
Maya Denver immediately turned back to the caskets, her expression softening again as she looked at them."I made so many promises to you both," she said quietly. "I promised I'd always protect the family.”“I promised I'd carry on your legacy, Uncle Denver. I promised I'd watch over Jason as he grew into the man he was meant to become."Her voice hardened once more. "I failed to keep those promises while you were alive.”“But I swear on your graves…once I give you both proper burials…I will keep my promise to avenge you.”“Every person responsible for your deaths will face justice. My justice." Her voice was still cold and completely detached.Kamela Maya, her daughter, stepped forward from the crowd. She was in her early twenties, tall and lean with her mother's sharp features and her grandmother's calculating eyes. She wore tactical gear similar to what she'd worn during the cemetery raid, and her hands were still stained with gunpowder residue."Mother," Kamela said, her voice s
Chapter 441:
Maya Denver immediately paused, her eyes distant as she considered options. "General Carl Gerald's strength is also his weakness. He cares about his people. We saw that today…Mrs. Juliet Marcus died because she cared more about protecting him than protecting herself. And he will care about avenging her death.""We can use that," Kamela immediately said, following her mother's train of thought. "His emotional investment makes him predictable in some ways.""Exactly," Maya Denver immediately agreed. "And there's something else we can exploit. Doctor Amos and Nurse Evans."The warehouse went quiet as everyone processed this."You want to break them out?" Ziglar asked carefully.Maya Denver immediately nodded slowly. "They're Lord Denver's children. My cousins. Family. And they're currently locked up in the Elite Division's maximum-security facility, probably being interrogated about today's raid.""But boss," another henchman interjected, "breaking into an Elite Division prison? That'
