Whispers from the past
Zi Han sat up in his bed, resting his throbbing head on his arm. The nightmare had awakened a painful memory from his past life, but he still couldn’t remember anything about those people hanging from the tree.Forced to live a dual life in this mortal world, Zi Han found himself caught between two realms, his mind fractured into several fragments, each with a story of its own.“Guan Yu…you were my brother,” he mumbled in the dark, his throat drying up from thirst as the room felt suffocating. Even though Guan Yu’s face was still flashing in his mind, he couldn’t remember their relationship. But every time he thought of his long-forgotten half-brother, it filled him with a sense of unrelenting hate. “Dongxiang told me I was betrayed by my brother, yet I can’t remember anything about you, Guan Yu,” Zi Han mumbled, clenching his cold fists. “Why can’t I remember anything? How long will my memories keep haunting me like nightmares?”Suddenly, Zi Han’s window was thrown open by a strong
Relentless
Dongxiang’s informers in Heshing confirmed that the hit was a success, and all five trailer trucks had been completely destroyed, along with the supplies they were carrying. Zi Han’s plan had worked perfectly and stirred panic among the Sand Scorpion loyalists, causing most of the shops and stores to shut down for the day.“That should teach them not to mess with us!” Zhen Lee exclaimed, pumping his fists in the air. “I bet Noah must be wetting his bed right now.”Dongxiang, however, chose to be the voice of reason instead of getting carried away. “We should not get too far ahead of ourselves. Noah is ill-tempered and reckless. And we all know a wounded wolf backed into a corner can be more dangerous than a tiger.” Zi Han was still staring at the detonator in his hand. With the press of a single button, he had taken out Kailen and his crew of grunts in one fell swoop. He was no longer an innocent college student. It felt scary knowing how easy it was to kill ten grown men, but what
The Wasp and the Scorpion
Zi Han’s carefully executed attack had struck a devastating blow, plunging Heshing into chaos. The explosions had not only destroyed the Sand Scorpion supplies but also killed Kailen and his group of runts.As people rushed for cover, fleeing to the safety of their homes, the Sand Scorpion fighters manning the checkpoints sent word to their leader, requesting support.Noah arrived on location within the next few minutes, accompanied by his elite grunts and gunners. He had heard the explosion from miles away but had no idea what had triggered the blasts. But now, as he looked at the burning wreckage of the trailer trucks, everything became clear.Someone had targeted their supplies on purpose, and the message was clear: the Sand Scorpions weren’t safe even inside their own territory.As Noah sifted through the wreckage, he spotted a mutilated corpse, ripped to pieces. He kicked the dismembered bust and flipped it over with his shoe, only to see Kailen’s half-burnt face.“You stupid oaf
A favor returned
Dongxiang assembled his elite strike team and instructed them to go with Zi Han and follow his orders to the letter. Meanwhile, Zhen Lee arranged the trackers and explosives from their secret warehouse a few blocks away.The five trucks had already entered Moakao’s industrial zone by the time Zi Han and his men reached the location. Zhen Lee rolled his window down and signaled to the shooters inside the SUV. “Get ready. Those must be the trucks.”As the driver sped up and got closer to the moving trucks, Zhen Lee noticed that the truckers were wearing yellow bandanas with black stripes, confirming his suspicion.He immediately reached out to Zi Han on the phone.“These are all Sand Scorpion trucks. Just give the orders, and we will take them down.”“No! Keep your guns holstered!” Zi Han commanded from the other end. “Just tail the trucks from a safe distance and wait for them to stop. They killed two of our truckers. We need to send a message to prove who holds the upper hand.”Zhen
The strike plan
Zi Han ordered the men to recover the bodies of the dead truckers and give them a proper burial before leaving the scene with Zhen Lee and heading for the safe house where Minjun and his mother had been housed.When they reached the safehouse, things looked heated up. Suzuki had his finger on the trigger and was itching to kill.“Those Sand Scorpion bastards have crossed their last line. I say we round up our men and gut those fuckers alive!” he urged, looking at Zhen Lee.But seeing Zi Han walk up beside him, Suzuki lowered his gaze and quietened down.“Now’s not the time to lose your temper,” Zi Han said calmly and placed a firm hand on Suzuki’s shoulder. “We won’t let this go unpunished. But we need to hit them where it hurts the most.”Suzuki nodded in assent and stepped aside, making way for them.As soon as Zi Han entered the house, Minjun fell on his knees, clutching his hands together. “I swear I didn’t know anything. I…haven’t had any contact with Noah ever since we came here
Collision Course
The following day, Zi Han was woken up early in the morning by Zhen Lee’s call. He was about to pick up the phone when the call disconnected, and he saw a dozen text messages flashing on his screen.Without wasting a second, he called Zhen Lee again.“What’s going on? Is something wrong?”“Two of our box trucks met with an accident at the Hong Ming Bridge. They crashed through the brickwork and fell into the river below. The men nearby reported hearing multiple explosions. I think someone must have targeted our cargo.”“It must be the damn Sand Scorpions!” Zi Han exclaimed, throwing his duvet aside and slipping into his shoes. “Get your men to secure the area. I’ll meet you at the bridge.”Zhen Lee and his men had already secured the bridge and shooed off all bystanders by the time Zi Han reached the bridge. A mob of Black Dragons, dressed in plain black T-shirts and aviators, was standing near the scene of the accident.As soon as Zi Han stepped down from the cab and headed for the br
