127 A Hundred Cuts
Mira watched Leonard take off the ring with furrowed brows. Then she burst into laughter, the sound sharp and mocking, echoing through the clearing like the cry of a hungry predator."You're an idiot. I always thought rich heirs to be stupid, but this really takes the cake. Did you just take off your power source? How foolish can one man be?"She took a few confident steps forward, her athletic body swaying as she walked. "I expected more from the Gambino heir, but it seems you are just as arrogant and careless as the others. Taking off your ring in front of an enemy like me? You must have a death wish. This is beyond foolishness; it is pure arrogance."When Leonard did not respond, Mira's face tightened with growing irritation, her eyes narrowing into slits. "I need to tell you something before I kill you. Your father, Vincent Gambino, murdered my family. I will have my revenge this way.""You will pay for his sins with your life, just as he took theirs without mercy. This is the mom
126 Borrowed Power
As soon as Leoanard appeared, Mira leaped several yards away like a trapeze artist, her body twisting gracefully in mid-air before landing at a safe distance on the forest floor.With her eagle-green eyes, she quickly surveyed her surroundings for any signs of other ninja shadows, her gaze darting from tree to tree, shadow to shadow, every muscle in her body coiled like a spring ready to strike at the slightest provocation. None.The information she had on Leonard severely underestimated him. Victor and Felicity were idiots who thought he was an ordinary guy with extraordinary supporters.It was the other way round. This man was the real threat, the one pulling all the strings from behind the scenes. He was likely the menace who killed Stark operatives, including Sable Carnegie."What are you?" Mira asked, her voice laced with a hint of wariness that she rarely allowed herself to show to anyone. "How can you use ninja shadows?""Even experienced cultivators cannot do it. That techniqu
125 Mira Cipher
As Mira drew out her blade with a slow, twisting motion that seemed to stretch time itself, blood and guts poured out of Leonard's body in a hot, sticky rush, splattering across the forest floor in dark red.He staggered backward, one hand clutching desperately at the gaping wound in his abdomen while the other braced against the rough bark of a nearby tree for support, his fingers digging into the wood as if it could anchor him to life.His breathing came in ragged, painful gasps. "You tricked me..." he murmured weakly.The bitter realization spread over Leonard as his fading eyes locked onto Felicity, standing a few feet away, her expression cold with triumph.Felicity shrugged casually, a cruel smile playing on her lips as she watched him suffer without a shred of remorse. "I always knew you were a loser who would even help your enemy. I mean, what a joke! Who does that?""It was easy to lure you here and get you killed. You walked right into it like the fool you are, thinking you
124 Ex-girlfriend's Request
Leonard did not receive Felicity's call and put it on silent mode without a second thought. He had no interest in her antics.Felicity called again and again, the screen lighting up repeatedly with her name like an annoying insect. He did not have time for her toxic energy, not when he was standing in the middle of the Graalis Forest with an army of a thousand people depending on his every decision.Then a message came through, the text stark against the screen. "Leonard, please receive my call. It is an emergency."This time, the Gambino heir took the call with heavy suspicion, his jaw tightening as he pressed the phone to his ear, already bracing himself for whatever manipulation she had planned."Hello.""Leonard, it's me, Felicity. Thanks for taking the call."She sounded vulnerable and soft, her voice trembling in contrast to her usual shrill, hostile tone.There was a fragility that caught him off guard for a moment, though he refused to let it sway him. He could almost picture
123 Graalis Forest
The Graalis Forest Exploration Team looked almost like an army ready for war.Technical specialists in bright vests moved around with crates of drilling equipment, sensor arrays, and supply containers. Enforcement squads in tactical gear checked their weapons, tested comms units, and scanned the tree line for any signs of trouble.The general crew—logistics coordinators, medical teams, cooks, and support staff—bustled with energy, shouting orders and loading trucks.The exploration team was almost a thousand strong, a living, breathing force of humanity prepared to carve a path through the unknown.An elite Sikorsky S-92 executive helicopter, its black fuselage gleaming under the morning sun like obsidian, descended from the sky. It landed smoothly on a makeshift helipad, its rotors kicking up a swirling storm of dust, dry leaves, and loose soil.Leonard stepped out first, followed closely by Valery Frost, Aquilla Cullen, and Abigail.Valery went straight to Sophia, who was already co
122 The Predator
"Leonard!" Sophia called out in relief the moment she saw him standing in the shattered doorway. But even as the word escaped her lips, a cold dread gripped her chest.The vibes radiating from Flint Blackheart were deadly. He looked too strong and dangerous.What if Leonard couldn't defeat him? He should call the guards instead of facing this monster alone. Her body still felt heavy from the drug, and the thought of Leonard getting hurt because of her made panic rise again.Flint let go of Sophia's chin and gave her a quick, vicious glance before turning toward Leonard. His massive frame shifted with lazy confidence, like a predator who had already decided the outcome of the fight."So you are the one who brought chaos to Nexus City's hierarchy. Good thing you came by yourself. Saved me the time of looking for you. I'm Flint Blackheart."Leonard's eyes narrowed as he studied the man. There was something fundamentally different about Flint. The strange tattoos covering his skin were a
