At Mountville’s Airport

The roar of helicopter blades thundered through the air.

Tk Tk Tk.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Armed soldiers jumped out, landing in precise formation, their discipline flawless.

A massive crowd had gathered, their eyes filled with awe and confusion. Never before had Mountville witnessed such a display of military power.

At the forefront of this terrifying arrival stood General Robert, his expression as cold as steel. Behind him, a line of elite, high-ranking generals exuded an aura of absolute authority, stepping onto the ground like war gods descending from the heavens.

Among the onlookers was Commissioner Ray, the highest-ranking official in the city. His hands were sweaty, his heart pounding. For military officials of this caliber to be here, something enormous had happened—and he knew he would be the one held responsible.

He had heard whispers and rumors of their arrival, but nothing could have prepared him for the sheer magnitude of it.

Mountville’s top three wealthiest families had also rushed to the scene, desperate to connect with whoever was coming.

As soon as the helicopters touched down, a team of military medical doctors emerged, carrying advanced equipment.

Ray swallowed hard and quickly stepped forward, mustering all the confidence he could.

"I am Commissioner Ray—"

CLACK!

Instantly, every single soldier raised their rifles, locking onto him with laser precision.

"ANY MORE STEPS AND WE SHOOT!" a soldier barked, his voice sharp as a dagger.

Ray's breath hitched. His legs froze mid-step. The crowd gasped in horror.

Behind him, the city’s top three richest men stood dumbfounded. One of them blurted out, “What the hell is going on?”

Ray held up his hands in surrender. "Gentlemen, please! We are here to welcome you. We heard about your arrival, and as the commissioner of this city, it is my duty to extend our—"

“RUBBISH.”

A powerful voice cut through the tension like a blade.

It was General Robert. His piercing gaze locked onto Ray with disgust.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY, SCUM!” he spat. "We do not need your welcome. You are nothing. Too small to stand before us!"

Without hesitation, a soldier shoved Ray aside, sending him stumbling backward.

The message was clear.

The city’s highest authority had just been humiliated.

Ray’s face burned red, rage and humiliation bubbling inside him, but he dared not retaliate. The generals marched past him.

One of the wealthy men turned to Ray, his face pale. “What just happened? What do they want? Look at their ranks—why are they here? What could have possibly happened in this city to warrant such an invasion?”

Ray gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain calm. He turned to one of his subordinates.

“Follow them. Find out where they’re going and report back. I need to know what the hell is happening.”

Then, one of the wealthy men approached him again. "Commissioner Ray, don't you think we have to inform Copper? He’s supposed to be here!"

"That's true!" Ray said and immediately pulled out his phone to call Copper. It rang at least three times before he finally picked up.

"Hello? Who the fuck is this? I'm about to enjoy my day, and you're calling? I'll call you later."

Copper hung up before Ray could even respond.

"But sir—"

Toon! Toon!

The call had already ended.

Back at Prime Mountville’s Hospital

Director Doctor Tane was furious when he heard that someone had entered Amelia’s room, causing a ruckus. Reports quickly reached him that Mr. Copper’s men had been taken down. Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and called the Mayor of the Police, demanding immediate action to remove the intruders.

At the same time, Stiles remained unconscious in the hospital. One of his men, a skilled medical doctor, was pulling out the bullet lodged in his body with precise hands, working tirelessly to stabilize him.

Woah! Woah! Woah!

A sharp noise rang through the hospital halls, followed by the blaring of a speaker.

"Hello. This is a clear warning to the thugs inside! You have been surrounded! we are giving you ten minutes to surrender now!. or else. we will wipe you down!!!"

The message echoed through the corridors like a death sentence.

One of the guards clenched his jaw, gripping his rifle. His eyes darted toward his commander.

"Who the fuck is in this jurisdiction?!" he growled. "Weren’t they informed that the God of War is in this place?!".

The soldiers exchanged glances. Their leader, a battle-hardened warrior, Mike.

"Find out who’s in charge outside. If they don't stand down in the next five minutes, we take them down ourselves."

Outside, dozens of heavily armed officers had surrounded the hospital, their weapons aimed, their stance unwavering.

At the forefront of the police force stood Chief Inspector Hale, his expression firm. He raised his megaphone again.

"You are ordered to lay down your arms and surrender immediately! Failure to comply will be met with force!".

    Sandra and Clara had the audacity to immediately double crossed Stiles and Victoria. "you think you can assault me and just go. haha.... foolish man, I will teach you a lesson today", sandra shouted, then instantly called for the security. "gauurrrds!". Stiles was immediately surrounded by four men, each gripping a baton with heavy intent. Sandra screamed, “Where were you when this unknown piece of shit entered? Beat him to a pulp now!”. The guards grinned, cracking their knuckles. Victoria’s breath hitched as she gripped Stiles' arm tightly. The first guard lunged forward. Stiles moved like lightning—his palm striking the man's throat in a swift snap. A disturbing crack followed, and the man stumbled back, clutching his neck, wheezing violently as he dropped to his knees, coughing so hard it echoed through the lobby. The second tried to be smarter, approaching from the side with a low swing, but Stiles ducked, twisted, and delivered a brutal kick straight to the man’s ankle.

    Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the doors burst open. Stiles stormed in. One of the soldiers spotted him instantly and rushed over. “Sir! Sir—”. “Where is my wife?” Stiles snapped. The soldier froze, words catching in his throat. “She... she just left, sir.” “In her condition?!” Stiles growled, grabbing the man by the collar. “She shouldn’t be moving around, let alone leaving the damn hospital!” “I-I tried to stop her!” the soldier stammered. “She insisted... sir, she was determined. I didn’t dare stop her—she said it was urgent!” Stiles clenched his jaw, releasing him with a shove. “Where did she go?” “We’ve already informed headquarters. They're tracking her now.” “Good. Tell them to send me her location. Right now.” “Y-yes, sir!” the soldier scrambled to call it in as Stiles turned and stormed out. --- At the Elliot mansion...

    Victoria started to get up. She threw the covers off and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. The doctor watched her fumbling through the cabinet beside her bed, searching for her dress. “Ma’am!” she gasped, rushing over. “What are you doing?! You can’t leave—” “I’m going to get the drug,” Victoria said firmly, slipping one arm into her dress. “I don’t have time to lie here and wait.” “But you’re still injured! You’re not cleared—” Victoria cut her off with a sharp glance. “If I don’t go, Amelia loses her limbs forever. Do you understand that?” She shoved past the doctor, half-dressed,. Her steps were slow, limping, and painful—but they were hers. She reached the hospital entrance, only to be stopped by a soldier stationed at the door. “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but you’re not permitted to leave yet—” Victoria raised a hand. “Don’t worry about me. Leave me alone.” “But, let me escort you...". “Who are you, and what make you think you can stop me” she said coldly, and the steel

    Victoria jolted awake, A sharp beep echoed in her ears—the heart monitor. The room spun, sterile white walls and soft fluorescent lights above her. She was hooked to several IVs, her hand trembling as she tried to yank them out. "Amelia!" she screamed, her voice hoarse. "Amelia, where is she?!". The door burst open. Two doctors and a nurse rushed in, urgency in their steps. "Ma’am, please!" one doctor said, gently pushing her back onto the bed. "You need to lie down. You’re still not stable." "I don’t need rest!" she cried, trying to push past the weakness weighing down her limbs. "Where is my daughter?! Tell me where Amelia is!" "She’s safe," the second doctor said quickly. "She’s doing good at the moment. She’s in our pediatric wing under tight protection. You’re the one in critical need of care. You’ve got three fractured ribs, a broken arm, internal bleeding… You’ve been through hell. You need to rest." Victoria’s body trembled, and she tried again to get up—but this ti

    Inside…Mr. Howard stepped closer, eyes burning with menace. "Who the hell do you think you are? Barging into a place, filled with big men and my son, and you beat him senseless?!" Stiles didn’t flinch. He stepped forward, his gaze cold."Who the hell do you think you are, letting your scum of a son captivate my wife?.That bastard locked her up, tortured her, and paraded her here like a damn trophy."His jaw clenched."I should’ve killed him. And guess what? I still might."Mr. Howard’s smile dropped. His brows furrowed, and his lips tightened. That was enough for him."Then you are not leaving here alive," he said, voice deathly calm. "Men—leave us. This room's about to get messy."The men hesitated. One even stammered, "we would like to watch how he suffer"."OUT!"

    Copper's eyes lit up with relief as his father stepped through the shattered doorway. His lips curled into a cruel grin, his pain momentarily forgotten. "You're doomed now," he sneered, blood dripping from his leg. Victoria clenched her fists, eyes squeezed shut. "Oh, God… Mr. Howard is here." She turned to Stiles, "Stiles, listen to me. Mr. Howard isn't just this country’s assemblyman—he runs a cartel. He owns a powerful cabal in this state. If you kill Copper, he will hunt us until the end of time. Please… just leave. Leave everything to me." Stiles didn’t move. His gaze was locked onto the man now kneeling beside Copper. Victoria had accepted her fate.
