Commander Vance sat in the corner holding box, his head bowed low in deep shame. His fingers throbbed where the gold insignia ring had been pulled off, and his crisp military uniform was covered in grey dust.

He glared across the clean floor at Jax, his eyes burning with silent anger. He was waiting for his elite strike squad to pick up the hidden signal from his ring and arrive to flatten the store into dust.

Jax completely ignored the angry officer. He stood behind the glass register counter,

  • Chapter 52: Into the Toxic Mire

    The thick wooden cell door creaked loudly as Jax slid the heavy iron bolt back. Vance tumbled out onto his knees, gasping for air and wiping sweat from his forehead. His sleek silver pilot suit was stained with dirt, but his eyes burned with a desperate need to survive."Get up," Jax said, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion. "You play any tricks in that swamp, and I will leave your bones in the mud.""I swear, Boss Jax! No tricks!" Vance cried out, scrambling to his feet and bowing his head low. "I just want to live! I know the secret path through the defense lines!"Mia handed Vance a basic iron collar that snapped around his neck with a sharp click. The collar glowed with a faint red light, linked directly to the store interface. If Vance moved more than ten meters away from Jax or tried to attack, the collar would instantly release a heavy electric shock to knock him flat.Jax draped his newly crafted dark blue poison cloak over his shoulders and stepped out through the front

  • Chapter 51: The Black Swamp Expedition Prep

    The glowing system window flickered red and gold inside the command vehicle, casting long shadows across the metal walls.Jax looked down at his floating interface menu, watching the glowing red warning icon flash rhythmically.The high council of Elysium was already sending an elite shadow team to secure the fourth Primal Core Key. If those arrogant rulers obtained that final key, they would lock down the world energy grid forever.Jax closed the system screen with a calm wave of his hand."We do not have much time," Jax said, turning toward Mia and General Ironwood. "We need to prepare for the Black Swamp immediately before Elysium's recovery team reaches the site."General Ironwood stepped forward, his heavy silver armor clanking softly on the metal floor."Boss Jax," Ironwood said, his voice full of genuine concern. "The Black Swamp is five miles north of here. The air inside that place is packed with pure toxic fog that can melt leather boots in minutes. You cannot go in there al

  • Chapter 50: The Ancient Tablet's Secret

    The dim interior of the armored command vehicle grew deathly quiet.The heavy grey stone tablet sat resting on the ruined iron shelf, its carved golden crest of a winged sword wrapped in twin serpents glowing with a faint, mysterious warmth.Mia stepped forward, her dark eyes wide with shock as she stared at the glowing mark."Boss Jax," Mia whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "That is the exact symbol stamped on Commander Vance's armored suit. It belongs to the high council of Elysium. Why would a regional warlord like Lord Drake have an ancient secret tablet from the sky city?"Jax reached out his hand, his fingers lightly touching the smooth surface of the grey stone.The moment his skin touched the ancient carved lines, the tablet let out a soft humming sound. A bright beam of golden system light shot out from Jax's palm, scanning the strange markings across the surface.[System Interface: Translating Ancient High Council Tablet...][Translation Complete!]A large golden wind

  • Chapter 49: Total Capitulation

    The sharp tip of the obsidian blade pierced through the thick steel hood of the fast-moving car like a warm needle sliding through butter.BOOM!The blade sliced straight into the main engine block beneath. Bright purple sparks and black oil erupted violently from the metal, and the heavy limousine ground to a sudden, crushing halt. The rear tires squealed in vain against the dark pavement before the engine died completely.Inside the back seat, Patriarch Drake was thrown forward hard against the front leather seat. His expensive silk necktie was twisted, his silver hair was wild and messy, and his bruised face was covered in cold sweat.Before the driver could unlock his door to run away into the fog, Jax stepped off the smoking hood.He reached out his right hand, grabbing the thick handle of the bulletproof rear door. With one sudden, powerful tug, Jax ripped the reinforced steel door right off its heavy iron hinges with his bare hand, tossing the two-hundred-pound door onto the di

  • Chapter 48: The Counter-Sweep

    The night sky burned bright as five heavy armored carriers and two artillery tanks exploded at the same time. Fiery red flames leaped high into the air, tossing metal parts across the dark street.The mercenary army of Sun City fell into total panic. Soldiers screamed, scrambling over burning rubber and broken steel as dense black smoke filled the road. The grand army that came to crush a small shop was now running around like headless chickens in the middle of a war zone.Inside the bright hypermarket, Jax tossed his yellow cleaning cloth onto the white desk. He reached into his system inventory and pulled out a large, steaming piece of roasted monster meat. This was the system fresh meat, a special item that gave the eater a giant boost in strength and speed for thirty minutes.Jax took two fast bites, swallowing the hot meat quickly. Warm energy surged through his body right away, making his eyes glow with a sharp purple light."Mia, Ironwood," Jax said, his voice ringing with abso

  • Chapter 47: Unbreakable Defense

    Patriarch Drake’s arm dropped like a falling stone from the night sky."Fire!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, his face twisted in vicious excitement.BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!The four heavy artillery tanks roared in unison. Four giant armor-piercing shells shot out from the long metal barrels like shooting stars of death. They cut through the thick red fog in a fraction of a second, hurtling straight toward the front glass doors of the Infinite Sanctuary.Behind the clear glass, some of the refugee children whimpered and closed their eyes, pressing close to their mothers in fear.General Ironwood and his silver-armored officers tensed up, raising their arms to protect their faces. Even though they trusted Jax, seeing four military-grade tank shells flying right at them was terrifying.Jax didn't flinch. He didn't even look up from the small white cleaning cloth in his hands.CRASH!The four massive shells hit the invisible golden boundary line right in front of the store at the e
