Russell Crow did not pause to look at Barry. He walked straight past him and planted himself in front of Jaden with every inch of his posture radiating control. For a man of his office, his voice should have been calm. Instead it was small and urgent.“Mr. Rift,” Russell said, all apology and hurry, “I know what happened here. I am sorry. This should not have happened in my city.”The effect was electric. People who had been leaning into the scene suddenly leaned away. The private room, which had been thick with swagger and threats, went quiet. Larry Black and Wade Trent stared as if someone had flipped a switch. Selena’s jaw dropped. She had never expected the mayor to treat Jaden like this.Jaden met Russell’s apology with a hard stare. He did not soften. “If you already know what went on,” he said, voice flat, “then tell me how you will fix it. I want the people in this room to get the kind of justice they sell in your posters—equal and public.”Russell’s face tightened. He straigh

Jaden had been sitting quietly the whole time, watching Felix’s wild theatrics with detached amusement. The chair swinging, the shouting, the staged rage—it was obvious to him that it was all for show.But when Felix puffed his chest and declared he would beat his son to death for Jaden’s sake, Jaden suddenly laughed.The sound of it echoed across the private room, calm yet chilling. Everyone froze and turned toward him in bewilderment. Even Russell and the directors fell silent, their eyes narrowing in confusion.Why was he laughing at a moment like this?Jaden’s lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. He cast a glance at Felix and then at the broken chair in the man’s hands. His tone was smooth, unhurried, and cutting.“That’s not how you beat someone,” he said.“What?” Felix blinked, stunned.“What did he say?” The others muttered among themselves, confusion spreading through the room like wildfire.Jaden didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he stepped forward, his calm stride drawi

Jaden smiled faintly, a glimmer of pride softening the sharp angles of his face as he glanced at Selena. "They're taking issues involving the children of officials very seriously these days," he explained, his voice calm but deliberate. "The higher-ups have been monitoring them closely. They worry these spoiled brats could cause chaos, and the Mayor recently set up a hotline specifically for ordinary citizens. Anyone who runs into problems like this can call directly. He’s handling these matters with extreme seriousness—ensuring no complaint goes ignored." Selena’s eyes widened, absorbing each word as though it were a revelation. Her admiration for Jaden deepened, almost tangibly, with every passing second. She had always respected his resourcefulness, but the ease with which he navigated this labyrinth of bureaucracy left her quietly in awe. Jaden continued, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "So, I called the hotline, thinking perhaps I’d get a token response—a bureaucrat who’d pas

Scythe was no ordinary subordinate of Nemesis Thorne.His real name was Ryan Judas, and those who had crossed paths with him in Okade’s underworld called him a killing machine for good reason. Legends of his efficiency, brutality, and near-perfect execution of missions made him a figure whispered about with fear and awe. His mere presence could silence a room filled with hardened criminals."Yes, Boss," Scythe replied in a deep, controlled voice that carried both loyalty and menace.Minutes later, the first forty million was transferred into Demonwolf’s account. The mercenary leader’s sharp eyes glinted with approval as he counted the digital confirmation. "Very good," he said, a thin smile tugging at his lips. "It’s always a pleasure working with decisive people like you, Mr. Thorne."Nemesis Thorne, calm and collected as ever, raised his glass slightly. "I trust you’ll carry out the task as agreed."Demonwolf returned the gesture, the faint glint of cold amusement in his eyes. "I’ll

The sniper, Hector Blade, blinked rapidly, his finger tightening unconsciously around the trigger guard as the impossible played out before his eyes. One second Jaden Rift was framed perfectly in his crosshairs, every line of his body steady and exposed. The next, the man simply… vanished. Hector’s breath caught. His brow furrowed as a guttural growl worked its way up his throat. "What the…? Where the hell did he go?" Beside him, sprawled flat on the rooftop with binoculars pressed to his eyes, Steve Zayne shifted uncomfortably. The seasoned spotter frowned, following the stretch of the amusement park through his lenses. "I don’t know," he admitted, voice even but taut. "He just… disappeared. One moment he was in the open, next moment he melted into the crowd like smoke." "Disappeared?" Hector’s voice sharpened into a bark. He slammed a gloved fist against the rooftop’s cold concrete, the sharp crack echoing against the rain-slick bricks. "That’s impossible! I had him. One more s

On top of the pavilion, Zornorstone’s highest vantage point, two predators lay in wait.Hector Blade adjusted the scope of his sniper rifle, his jaw tight with frustration. The massive Snow White statue dominated his view, but his target had not reappeared. He exhaled sharply through his nose. "What the hell are they doing just sitting there? Do you think they’ve noticed us?" His voice carried a twitch of irritation, the patience of a seasoned hunter slowly fraying.Beside him, Steve Zayne remained calm, his eye glued to his own scope. "Impossible. There’s no way they could know we’re up here. We’ve taken every precaution—angles, elevation, distance. He’d need supernatural instincts to sense us."Hector muttered something under his breath. The logic was sound, but his gut told him otherwise. Jaden Rift wasn’t moving like normal prey. Every second that ticked by gnawed at him. "We should reposition," Hector growled. "He’s wasting our time sitting behind that damn statue."Steve shifted

Just as Casper finished speaking, a shrill vibration broke the silence.A phone buzzed on one of the dead snipers, the sound unnerving against the quiet of the rain-slick rooftop. The screen lit up, flashing an incoming call.Number Three crouched and retrieved the device, glancing at the name flashing across the display. He didn’t answer. Instead, he turned the glowing screen toward Casper.Casper’s brows furrowed. His eyes narrowed, cold and calculating. "So. The killers weren’t working alone. Their commander wants answers."Number Three’s tone hardened. "We’ll need to report this to the General immediately. This isn’t over."Casper gave a short nod, already drawing conclusions. "Which means the real attack is still coming."…Down at ground level, Jaden Rift’s phone buzzed in his hand. A secure text appeared from Number Three:The immediate threat has been neutralized, but there are reinforcements. Do not leave the amusement park for now. We’re positioned and ready to provide cover
Chapter 508
The rumbling thunder split the sky, followed by a heavy downpour that slammed against the rooftops of Zornorstone. Rain fell in sheets, drowning out the laughter of the amusement park and replacing it with the steady drum of water against steel and stone.Through the storm, five container trucks rolled into the park, their headlights cutting through the rain like knives. The vehicles spread out in perfect formation, each one moving with precise military discipline.Inside every steel carriage sat platoons of Crimson Unit soldiers, their faces hidden behind masks and visors, their eyes cold and expressionless. These were not ordinary men—they were forged for war, trained to kill without hesitation.Each container truck carried five platoons. That meant over two hundred Crimson Unit soldiers had descended upon Zornorstone. A small army in the middle of a children’s amusement park.The rain hammered harder.The trucks stopped in the central square, their engines still rumbling beneath th

Most of the mercenaries carried only pistols tucked against their belts or daggers strapped to their thighs. A handful had submachine guns slung across their shoulders, but that was the extent of their firepower.The Wolves were used to much more. In Southeast Asia, their name carried weight. They were the kind of force that marched into jungles with armored vehicles, or swooped down on targets from helicopters bristling with mounted guns. But Karethwyn was different. This land was a graveyard for outsiders. Smuggling in heavy weaponry here on short notice was close to impossible, and every step they took felt like a fight against the terrain, the weather, and the invisible eyes of the locals.Still, Demonwolf wasn’t concerned. To him, Jaden Rift was just another target. Not a warlord. Not a high-value political figure. Just an ordinary man who had gotten under the wrong skin. Spending millions on logistics and hardware for a mission like this would have been wasteful.A few pistols.

Demonwolf’s expression twisted as the reality of his situation crashed down on him. He knew exactly what capture meant. The Wolves weren’t petty thugs—they were international mercenaries with blood-soaked resumes. Their names were in databases from Interpol to the CIA. If they were caught alive in Karethwyn, prison would be a mercy. More likely, they’d vanish into black sites, interrogated until nothing was left of them but broken bodies.There was no surrender. Not for him. Not for the Wolves."Let’s surge forward and fight our way out!" Demonwolf roared, his voice carrying over the storm. His eyes burned with the fury of a cornered beast.Rain streamed down his scarred face as he jerked his submachine gun up, finger tightening on the trigger. His men, trembling and desperate, began to raise their own weapons, bracing for a suicidal charge.But the world gave him no chance.BANG!The sound cracked like judgment itself. A single round tore through the storm from the pavilion above.Th
