CHAPTER 857
Henry glanced at her, a small, playful smirk on his lips. "Are you jealous?""Why would I be?" Clara shot back quickly, looking straight ahead. "We are no longer together. You're free to do whatever you want."Henry sighed softly, looking at the rain. "She's fun. We are still trying to figure things out, honestly."Meanwhile, back inside the dark, concrete underbelly of the station, Ashley used her security clearance badge to access the maximum-security block. She walked directly to the King's cell. Using her master keys, she opened the heavy iron gate."Moving time," Ashley whispered coldly.She escorted the weakened King out through a secluded back door that led straight to an abandoned, unmonitored courtyard at the rear of the building. She gave him a hard, forceful shove, sending him stumbling onto the wet pavement.The King stabilized himself, turning around slowly. He didn't look worried at all. In fact, throughout his detention, he hadn't been stressed because he knew Ashley
CHAPTER 856
He reached into his drawer, brought out a thick, official document, and dropped it onto the wooden table. He picked up his heavy ink stamp and began stamping the pages one by one, smiling the entire time. "I was never a big fan of Henry, but I have to admit, I really like him now."Clara smiled softly, looking out at the hallway. "Me too."Then, the Commander's face turned completely serious. He leaned across the desk, his eyes burning into hers. "But let me make one thing clear to you, young lady. If you ever so much as cross me, or commit the simplest crime out there, even something as small as pickpocketing, I promise you, I will personally put your asset right back behind bars! Are we absolutely clear on that?"Clara nodded respectfully. "Clear."Despite the type of life she had to adopt to find Adrian.Clara actually came from a wealthy background thanks to Adrian; her brother probably put trillions of dollars in her name, and she had never once even claimed it or touched it.Wi

"You're very welcome," Ashley responded softly, offering a kind smile. "I brought some dry clothes for you. They are right in the trunk of my car. Please, feel free to change out of those wet things."Ashley turned around and hauled the King toward the back of her vehicle. As she lifted his heavy torso into the trunk, her eyes locked with his in the dim light. In that brief, silent second, the King’s eyes widened with a sudden spark of recognition. Ashley wasn't just a police officer. She was one of his undercover soldiers.With the King finally secured in her vehicle, Ashley knew the Obsidian Syndicate now technically had their ruler back. All she had to do to complete her secret mission was get rid of the only remaining witness. She had to kill Clara.Ashley quietly reached into her pocket, pulled out a sharp, silver pocket knife, and began walking slowly toward the rear of the car where Clara was standing."How come Henry has never mentioned you to me before?" ClEa asked while she
CHAPTER 854
Dorian smiled weakly, nodding. "Take the stairs and handle the front guard post. I will slip through the ventilation ducts and take out the men guarding the back cells."The two men moved with flawless, practiced precision. They breached the facility from two different entry points. Within seconds, loud gunfire erupted everywhere, echoing through the concrete hallways of the bunker.Dorian and Thomas worked like a well-oiled machine, taking down the Syndicate guards one by one before they could even raise their alarms.They shattered the rusted locks on the iron cages, freeing the terrified children and quickly moving them out of the building to a secure safehouse location.As the last transport van full of rescued children drove away into the night, Dorian and Thomas stood under the shelter of a rusted metal canopy with the rain pouring around them."So... this is really it, huh?" Thomas said, looking at Dorian with a heavy heart."I guess so," Dorian replied softly. "Now we both par
CHAPTER 853
She locked eyes with Nicholas through the rearview mirror, searching his face to see if he was in on the hit. Nicholas didn't look away. Instead, a subtle, daring smirk appeared on his lips. He silently mouthed the words: One... Two...On the silent count of three, Nicholas and Valthera exploded into action.Nicholas spun around in his seat, driving his elbow violently into the driver’s jaw. The car swerved wildly across the wet road. At the same moment, Valthera whipped out her knife, driving it upward into the chest of the gunman sitting directly next to her in the backseat.The fight inside the speeding car was incredibly visceral, tight, and brutal. The third gunman tried to raise his pistol, but Valthera grabbed his wrist, twisting it until the bone snapped loudly. Nicholas grappled with the driver, slamming his head repeatedly against the steering wheel until the man went completely limp. The car screeched to a halt near the rocky shore.Inside the quiet cabin, only Nicholas a
CHAPTER 852
Valthera and her men retreated through a side emergency exit, vanishing into the night just as the heavy, armored boots of the Butcher's men swept onto the second floor, finding nothing but empty bullet casings and dust.Miles away, Alberto sat rigidly in his wheelchair, his breathing heavy and his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. He was watching the live feed from a bodycam worn by one of the Syndicate soldiers who had been left behind. The footage showed the utter chaos of the construction site—the blazing gunfire, the crumbling pillars, and Valthera’s failure to secure the King."What is all of this?!" Alberto roared, his deep voice shaking the walls of the room. He slammed his fist down onto the armrest of his wheelchair. "Why can’t she just handle one single person?! She has an entire army, and she lets a girl escape!"He looked up at the mercenary commanders standing around him in the shadows. His face was twisted with pure disgust."I hate to admit this, bu
