CHAPTER 51
Kevin’s heartbeat remained steady, but the same couldn’t be said about the assassins.The reason wasn’t simple.Kevin had just shown expert-level skill.The assassins that had attacked him from the front were all a distraction. The real attacker was hiding on the rooftop of the restroom.Not only did Kevin dodge a silent attack from the above, he also caught the assassin and crushed his neck with a single-handed grip.This was not something just any ordinary person could do. Even fighters who had years of experience might not be able to pull off such a feat so effectively.Naturally, the assassins were alerted by the display of Kevin’s skill and cold, ruthless aggression that more than matched theirs.So, they didn’t recklessly charge him anymore.Kevin, on the other hand, was processing what was happening.Of course, he just killed a person without blinking.But would he do it again?And again?Would he be able to kill every single one of these assassins standing before him?He could
CHAPTER 52
“Dreamer’s Poison!”A swift sword strike that would drill through the opponent’s heart and give him the greatest amount of pain while killing them the quickest.The assassin leader thought he got his target.Kevin, however, sidestepped and dodged the sword thrust so close that it scraped past his arm and tore his shirt and flesh.The assassin leader’s eyes widened.His gaze shifted toward Kevin, and he saw nothing but rage in those eyes.Kevin struck the assassin leader’s neck with his open hand.It was a choking strike.He meant to grab the leader’s neck, but it crushed his windpipe and rendered him unable to speak.The leader collapsed back and tried to breathe.Kevin picked up the leader’s sword. “Where did they take my wife?”The leader showed pain in his face, but he was also smiling. He was daring Kevin to kill him.“Did you call your last strike ‘Dreamer’s Poison?’” Kevin said. “Let me show you what real sword thrust of a grandmaster swordsman looks like.”Messages kept ringing
CHAPTER 53
Kevin stood next to the tree, breathing slowly, trying to bring his blood pressure under control.“To think there’s a sniper…“Had he attacked me while I was fighting the assassins, I would have been doomed.”Just thinking about it made him feel uneasy.“Who else could be after me? How many more enemies are lying in wait?“Is this really the doing of Jack?“Is he that capable?”Kevin had more questions than answers at this point, and he hated that.More than that, he hated himself for letting Cecilia be taken from him.He wanted to get her back as fast as possible.“I can dodge bullets, no, I can catch bullets,” Kevin said.Nothing happened.“I said I can catch bullets,” Kevin said once more.[You need someone to hear your bragging. There’s no one here.]Kevin’s face froze like he had stepped on dog crap.“No way… there’s such a restriction?” Kevin frowned. “How the hell am I supposed to dodge bullets? That last bullet barely missed me. You didn’t even give me a warning. What if I die
CHAPTER 54
At a penthouse.Jack was staring at the video of Kevin and Cecilia dancing.“He sure can move with elegance, but she deserves more than elegance. She deserves wealth… and a man of status. Not him.“He’s been an anchor for her.“But I’ll elevate her.“I’ll liberate her.”A pause.His jaw flexed a little bit as he saw the video.“He offers her affection. I offer her the world. There is a difference.”He almost felt pity—almost.He used AI software to change Kevin’s appearance to make it look like himself.And he smiled while watching him and Cecilia dance.“I will make this reality soon…”“I told Huggard to deal with him before the sun goes down. Now it’s past noon already. He’s got five to six hours at best. Huggard hasn’t failed a single mission he has understood so far. It’d be interesting to see how he goes about achieving success this time.”Just then, he received a text message.It was sent from Huggard.“The White Devils kidnapped Cecilia.”Jack smiled after reading the message.
CHAPTER 55
Kevin followed the scent of his wife.He couldn’t ride a car, so he ran on foot.He was covered in dirt and blood, so there were many people who looked at him and wondered if there was a film shoot going on.He snatched a scarf from a lady and covered part of his face with it. “Sorry, but I need it.”The lady screamed, but Kevin didn’t stop.“I’m coming for you, Cecilia. Don’t worry. Just wait a little longer!”Her scent was not strong but still warm.He stole a bike from a parked rack, hotwired it in two motions.He drove like a silent demon on a dark road.It wasn’t easy to track her scent while riding a bike, but time was of essence, so he chose the best option available.His thoughts turned into blades.“They took her.They think they’ll survive today.They won’t.”The trail led to a forgotten industrial zone on the outskirts of the city. It was one of those rusted factories. Broken windows. Smells of many oils and chemicals still lingering in the air.It was a perfect spot for ki
CHAPTER 56
“This place is like a maze,” Kevin stopped at a junction, hid behind a wall and waited because two armed guards were passing by. “If not for Cecilia’s scent, I would have gotten lost.”The guards were looking for the intruder.Luckily, they didn’t know who the intruder was.“This place doesn’t seem to have cameras, or things would have gotten much more troublesome,” Kevin thought.He stood completely silent as the guards walked past him.One of the guards just happened to turn his head and see a glimpse of Kevin.Kevin acted fast. Pure instincts kicking in.He slipped behind them, clamped a hand over their mouths and snapped their necks so fast the body didn't even have time to fall loudly.Their pants were already discolored.Cleansing wouldn’t work on a dead person, so he had to do it the moment he touched them.Kevin’s gaze remained steady.He roamed the corridors, and the scent of Cecilia was getting stronger.“Just how deep are they taking her?” Kevin’s feet picked up pace as ner
CHAPTER 57
“If you hit my face, I will hit her face,” First Shadow said, his voice containing pure calmness and confidence. “If you hit my stomach, I will hit her stomach. If you pull my heart out, I will…”“You will die,” Kevin said.First Shadow faintly smiled. “You will never be able to touch my heart, so don’t worry.”Kevin looked at Cecilia.She was crying. She must have been so afraid, but she was still alive.That’s what mattered to him.“Who hired you guys to do all this?” Kevin asked. “If it is who I think it is, I can understand your need to kill me, but then why kidnap her?”“No one in our organization will spill the beans even if you torture them,” First Shadow replied. “So, you’ll never know who wants you dead.”“What if I told you that I am capable of using interrogative techniques that can make anybody spill the beans?” Kevin told him.First Shadow smirked. “Good luck with that. But to even get there, you need to subdue me first. You think you have what it takes to overcome me?”“
CHAPTER 58
A few minutes later.The girls that had tried to escape all got captured and were rounded up by Second Shadow and his squad members.They were all armed, too.“Did we get all of them?” Second Shadow asked. He was fat and ugly, and his eyes were red and scary.“Yes, sir. These are the six daughters of real estate millionaires we caught.”“Good. Give me the needle box,” Second Shadow extended his hand.A box full of needles was handed over to him.He ripped the box out, spilling all the needles on the floor.The hearts of all the six girls started pounding against their chests as they had no clue what these men were going to do with those needles.“Don’t think too hard,” Second Shadow picked up one of the needles and squatted before the girls. “I’m just going to pierce these needles under your nails. It’ll give that natural red color and will serve as a nail polish. It’ll turn black over time and will last a year, but you all like black nail polish, don’t you?”He grabbed the hand of a
CHAPTER 59
“Who are you calling moths?!”“You are the only moth here, bitch!”The first two men that got to Kevin attacked him, one with his fist and the other with a flying kick.Kevin, who could see them coming in slow motion, slipped right through the gap between them and elbowed in both of their heads.They abruptly crashed sideways and moved no more.Almost all of the guys stopped in their tracks. They were not sure what Kevin exactly did.All they saw was him striking them with his elbows, but how could that result in knocking them out?Were they knocked out, or were they dead?Only Kevin knew.But what caught the assassin’s eyes was the discoloration of the pants of those two men lying on the floor.There was no explanation for that.“What the hell did you do to them?” one of the guys asked, as though he was demanding an answer.“You can ask them when you meet them in hell,” Kevin responded coldly, stepping forward.All the guys stepped backward.This was an unbelievable sight to watch.T
CHAPTER 60
Kevin told the six girls to forget about everything that happened in the warehouse and to keep his identity secret.Of course, they did not even know his name.Even when they asked for his name, he didn’t tell them.He didn’t want his name to be spread through the girls’ mouths.Kevin brought Cecilia over and made her stay with the girls after telling her to keep his identity safe.However, one of the girls recognized Cecilia.“You’re Cecilia O’Brian, aren’t you?” she asked.Cecilia was surprised. “You know me?”“You came to my school last year and demonstrated how papers and cardboards could be used to make boxes and a lot of handy appliances,” she said with excitement. “I learned a lot about designing since then.”Cecilia was quite surprised. She was not expecting to meet a girl who knew her in a place like this.One part of her was worried about what would happen if this girl were to tell everyone the story.Thanks to her, the other girls also now knew who Cecilia was. They could t
