As soon as Kaelus ended the call, the air around him turned sharp and cold.He did not waste a single second.An urgent order was issued, and within minutes, the crimson Special Forces stationed in Ironvale were mobilized at full speed. Sirens echoed briefly through the military compound before cutting off, replaced by disciplined movement and heavy boots striking the ground in unison.Two thousand crimson elites assembled in record time.Every one of them was battle-hardened. These were not ordinary soldiers. They were men who had walked through blood and fire, men whose presence alone was enough to make underground organizations tremble.Once the formation was complete, military trucks roared to life.The convoy surged out of the base like a steel tide, engines growling as they cut through the city outskirts. Using the GPS data provided by Blackridge Enterprise, they locked onto the exact location of the stolen equipment within minutes.Kaelus sat in the lead vehicle, dressed in ful

His subordinate swallowed hard before replying, his voice trembling, “The person in charge of the delivery, Hendrick, showed up with a group of drivers. They are demanding that we return their goods immediately. They said if we refuse, the consequences will be… terrible.”Cyclops let out a harsh laugh, as if he had just heard a joke.“Terrible consequences?” he sneered. “Who do they think they are?”Without another word, he grabbed a jacket and strode out, his expression turning vicious. With a sharp wave of his hand, he summoned his men.In less than a minute, over a hundred men followed him toward the factory entrance. Iron rods and blades gleamed under the dull afternoon light. Several of them openly carried firearms, their fingers resting on the triggers with casual confidence.They moved like a mob that had never feared consequences.When the group reached the factory gates, they saw Hendrick standing at the front with more than thirty drivers and logistics staff behind him.

The two thousand Crimson Unit elites responded in unison, their voices sharp and thunderous.In the next instant, they moved.Like a steel net snapping shut, they surrounded Cyclops and his men from all directions. Boots hit the ground in perfect rhythm. Rifles were raised simultaneously, muzzles locking onto targets with ruthless precision.Every angle was covered.There was no escape.The air froze.Cyclops’ men felt their legs turn weak. A few of them dropped their weapons immediately. Others froze in place, their hands trembling uncontrollably. None of them had ever faced a scene like this before. This was not a street fight. This was not a gang clash.This was the military.Fear spread faster than words.Within seconds, every single one of them surrendered, raising their hands or dropping to their knees.Cyclops’ face had completely lost its color. Cold sweat soaked through his clothes as his lips trembled. He forced himself to look at Kaelus and spoke in a shaking voice.“Sir… w

Just as despair was settling in and the atmosphere in the conference room grew heavy, the door suddenly burst open.The head of security rushed in, his breathing uneven, his face tense.“President Verrick,” he reported urgently, “there’s a group of men downstairs. They look… dangerous.”The words instantly put everyone on edge.Selena’s heart skipped. Her expression tightened as she asked quickly, “Lawson again? Didn’t they already take our equipment? What else do they want now?”Her mind immediately went to the worst possible scenario. Storming the headquarters. Intimidation. Violence.However, before panic could spread any further, Logan shook his head firmly.“No, that’s not it,” he said, sounding just as confused. “They do look like delinquents, and frankly, they’re intimidating. But their behavior is… strange. Extremely obedient.”He hesitated for a moment before continuing, clearly unsure of what he had just heard.“They said they’re here to return Rift Group’s equipment. And th

Selena immediately instructed the logistics department and technical staff to begin inspecting the returned equipment.“Open every container carefully,” she ordered. “Cross-check the serial numbers and inspect for damage. Report immediately if anything is missing or tampered with.”Employees quickly scattered into action. Forklifts moved into position, containers were unlocked, and engineers climbed into the trucks to inspect the expensive pharmaceutical machines.One crate after another was opened.The delicate automated production lines, sterilization chambers, and packaging systems were all intact. Protective coverings remained untouched, and the equipment appeared unharmed.Relief slowly spread among Rift Group’s employees.Some even sighed out loud.This batch of equipment represented the future of the company. Losing it would have crippled their expansion plans.As the inspection continued, Selena occasionally glanced behind her, her expression growing increasingly puzzled.Behi

At first, Jaden intended to make Cyclops and his men kneel in front of Rift Group’s headquarters overnight.That was the bare minimum punishment in his eyes.They had crossed a line. They had touched something that belonged to him.If not for Selena standing beside him, he would have made an example of them for the entire city to see.However, when he felt Selena tug lightly at his sleeve and heard the softness in her voice, he paused. After a brief moment of silence, he relented.He turned to her and replied with a faint smile, “Sure. If that’s what my beloved wife wants, we’ll forgive them just this once.”The moment those words left his mouth, Selena froze.Her cheeks flushed instantly, a warm heat creeping up her neck. She avoided everyone’s gaze, her heart beating a little faster than usual. Despite herself, a comforting warmth spread deep within her chest.Beloved wife.The words carried a weight she could not ignore.Jaden then turned back toward Cyclops and his men. The warmth

Although those from Rift Group were celebrating and breathing easy, several other parties were plunged into chaos.Lawson was one of them.Inside the private suite of the upscale club he frequented, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive. Empty glasses littered the table, and the faint smell of alcohol hung in the air. Lawson’s face was dark with rage as he smashed a glass against the wall.He glared at the men standing before him and roared, “Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Cyclops had the equipment in his hands. So why did he return it to Rift Group? Who gave him permission to do that?”No one answered.The subordinates exchanged uneasy glances, each lowering their head slightly. None of them dared to speak because they truly had no clue what had happened.Their silence only fueled Lawson’s fury.“So now all of you are mute?” Lawson slammed his palm onto the table. “Find Cyclops immediately. Bring him here. If he doesn’t show up within ten minutes, I’ll personally ma

Badan’s face was grim as he continued, his voice deliberately lowered. “Blackridge Enterprise isn’t just some military-backed corporation. The North Army stands directly behind it. There are even rumors that the General of the North himself founded Blackridge Enterprise in the early days.”He paused, letting the weight of those words sink in.“Which means anyone who goes against Blackridge Enterprise is indirectly challenging the General of the North. That is a line no one survives crossing,” Badan added bluntly. “Fortunately, Cyclops and his men took full responsibility. They never mentioned us. In a situation like this, that’s already the best possible outcome.”Lawson clenched his jaw, his frustration simmering beneath the surface. “I never imagined Selena would manage to establish a connection with Blackridge Enterprise,” he said coldly. “With that backing, equipment is no longer an issue for Rift Group.”He leaned back, eyes narrowing. “Our original plan was to work with Libra Gr

Twenty million upfront. One billion afterward. A seat on the board.Those numbers echoed relentlessly in Sharon’s mind.A sharp glint of greed flashed through her eyes, quickly buried beneath an obedient smile. Opportunities like this did not come twice in a lifetime. If she succeeded, she would leap straight from a mid-level executive to the upper echelon of power.She bowed her head slightly and spoke with confidence. “Mr. Sultan, Mr. Dawn, rest assured. Selena trusts me completely. She treats me like her closest friend.”Her tone grew even more assured as she continued, “I’m also one of the key personnel at Rift Group. As the director of the Quality Inspection Department, I have legitimate access to internal facilities. Obtaining the vaccine sample and the confidential research data will not be a problem.”Sharon clenched her fists discreetly, suppressing her excitement. “Once I secure everything, I’ll hand it over to you immediately.”Lawson and Badan exchanged a satisfied look.

Naturally, Selena believed Sharon without a second thought and spoke warmly, “Jaden and I are heading to love and trust Restaurant for dinner. Why don’t you join us?”Sharon paused for a split second. Her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag before she forced a casual smile and shook her head. “No, thanks. I already made plans to meet someone else.”Selena looked slightly disappointed. “That’s a shame. If that’s the case, let’s have a meal together some other time.”“Definitely,” Sharon replied quickly, nodding a little too eagerly.The three of them walked toward the elevator together. As the doors slid shut and the cabin began its descent, the confined space made everything feel quieter, heavier.Jaden stood quietly beside Selena, his gaze seemingly relaxed. Yet his eyes flicked toward Sharon from time to time.Only then did he notice it.Sharon’s forehead glistened with sweat. Her breathing was steady, but her grip on the stuffed bag was unnaturally tight, as if she were a
