Chapter 93
The fighter grinned, revealing his large teeth as drool continued to drip from his mouth, lunging without warning.His clenched fist flew forward before crashing into a concrete pillar right beside Marcus.The stone exploded outward, the fragments immediately scattering across the warehouse floor.Marcus barely shifted, allowing the attack to pass inches from his shoulder before calmly stepping aside."Stand still!" the man growled. "Bastard, don't move!""Why?" Marcus asked flatly. "So you can hit the air more efficiently?"The fighter's eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening at the mockery.He swung his fist again, faster this time, the air hissing from the force behind it.Marcus tilted his head, letting the fist pass merely a hair's breadth from his face."You're afraid! You're clearly too afraid of me!" the fighter snarled. "Everyone's afraid once they see what I've become! Including you!"Marcus said nothing, his eyes following every movement, shift, even twitch of the man's shoulder
Chapter 92:
Marcus arrived at the outpost just after dawn, the wreckage still smoldering beneath a pale grey sky.The soldiers stood scattered among the ruined vehicles, their bodies bandaged and exhausted, their eyes following Marcus with a wariness they couldn't hide.None of them recognized his face.Yet they said nothing, merely avoiding him with uneasy expressions.Marcus slowly walked around the third vehicle, the one carrying the container in question.Unlike the others, the vehicle had not been destroyed by the explosion.Its doors had been pried open with precision, clearly not forced open through sheer strength, while the surrounding metal was barely scratched."They didn't want to damage this one," Marcus murmured.The Commander limped toward him, one arm in a sling. "Sir. We didn't expect—""The cargo was the main objective from the start," Marcus said, cutting through the formality. "Everything else was a distraction."The Commander nodded slowly. "That matches what one of my men hea
Chapter 91: Something from the past
Marcus's grip tightened slightly around the phone. "Get me everything on our last military operation," he said quietly. "Now."After a while, everything was delivered and Marcus read it calmly. His expression turned cold the moment he was done. He had spent years trying to put his military life behind him, and after finally retiring, he had no intention of allowing the past to drag him back into a world he had deliberately walked away from. Yet someone had just taken an operation he believed was long dead and brought it back into the present. Worse, one of the surviving soldiers had mentioned something that immediately caught Marcus’s attention. The attackers had used a particular combat technique, one Marcus recognized almost instantly. It was old, extremely dangerous, and supposed to have disappeared decades ago. Callum noticed the change in his expression. “You know that technique?” Marcus folded the report and handed it back to him. “I know enough.” “Should I investigat
Chapter 90:
The convoy moved through the northern mountain pass under a sky filled with grey clouds, the engines rumbling low against the silence of the mountains.Six military vehicles, in tight formation, without any wasted movement.Inside the lead vehicle, the Commander checked his watch for the third time in ten minutes."ETA to checkpoint," he said into the radio."Twenty minutes, Commander," came the reply.The words had barely left the radio when the first explosion struck the rear vehicle."Contact! Contact!" someone screamed over the comms.The Commander grabbed his rifle, his trained instincts taking over before his mind could catch up."Report!" he barked."Rear vehicle disabled! Multiple hostiles, both flanks!"Gunfire erupted outside, precise bursts instead of chaotic sprays.The Commander peered through the vehicle's narrow viewport and felt his stomach drop.They weren't bandits.The attackers moved in coordinated pairs, covering each other with textbook discipline, striking exact
Chapter 89
The phone rang once for five seconds before the mafia leader picked it up."Yes," he said."Did Brandon take the file?" The voice on the other end sounded calm and flat, without a trace of emotion whatsoever."He took it," the mafia leader replied, his voice just as lifeless as the caller's."Good."The leader waited, saying nothing."You know what happens if you say too much," the voice continued. "Don't reveal anything else. To anyone.""I understand.""Make sure you truly understand."The line went dead.The mafia leader set the phone down on the desk, staring at it for several moments.He didn't ask who the caller was.He already knew better than to ask questions he wasn't supposed to ask.***At Kane Manor, the hallway had gone quiet.Oliver was still standing there, arms crossed, watching his son walk toward the staircase with the file clutched tightly against his chest.There was something about the way Brandon held the file that bothered him.Not his defiance.Not even his sec
Chapter 88
Brandon's hand trembled as he stared at the paper in front of him."What is this?" he asked, his voice barely steady."Read it," the mafia leader said calmly. "You'll understand once you finish reading it."Brandon remained silent, staring at the object for several moments, considering whether to read it or not."Tell me what's inside," the young man demanded again, but the mafia leader only stared at him sharply, offering no reply.Brandon still looked hesitant, his earlier arrogance evaporating into thin air.Eventually, he moved, tearing the seal further, pulling out the rest of the documents.Old transaction records.Names he didn't recognize.Dates stretching back more than a decade.None of it made immediate sense, page after page filled with numbers and signatures that meant nothing to him.Then his eyes landed on a name near the bottom of the third page, and his breath caught.Someone who had once been close to the Kane family, close enough that Brandon remembered hearing the
