Ryker's eyes gleamed with maniacal intensity. "You're no match for The Syndicate. We've infiltrated every level of government and society."

Xavier stepped forward, his gun trained on Ryker. "We'll take you down, no matter how deep you've infested."

Ryker chuckled. "You're brave, Xavier. But bravery won't save you."

Sofia moved to flank Ryker, her eyes locked on his. "We've exposed your operations. Your empire is crumbling."

Ryker's smile faltered for a moment before he regained composure. "You think you've won? You've only just begun to play the game."

Maximus charged forward, his gun blazing. "Time to end this."

The team engaged in a fierce firefight, dodging bullets and taking down The Syndicate's operatives.

Maya shielded Emma, her gun trained on Ryker's guards.

Victor's voice echoed through their comms. "I've hacked the building's security. You've got a clear path to the exit."

Xavier's eyes locked onto Ryker. "It's over."

Ryker snarled, pulling out a hidden pistol.

Xavier dove to

  • Brewing Storm

    Xavier was in the middle of a intense training session with Maximus. He was sweating and panting, but he didn't stop. He kept pushing himself, determined to become stronger.Just as he was about to take a break, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Victor LaGraine, the head of the LaGraine family.Xavier answered the call, curious about what Victor wanted. "Hey, Victor. What's up?""Xavier, I need to talk to you about something," Victor said, his voice serious. "I think it's best if you lay low for the meantime."Xavier was taken aback. "What do you mean? Why do I need to lay low?"Victor hesitated before answering. "The Hale Family has put out a bounty on your head, Xavier. One million dollars, dead or alive. Every low-level mafia character is going to be out to kill you and claim the bounty."Xavier couldn't believe it. "That's ridiculous," he said, laughing. "The Hale Family wouldn't do that."Victor's voice was firm. "I'm telling you, Xavier, it's true. I've

  • Chapter 64. Training and Bounty

    Xavier and Maximus stood facing each other in a big, open field. The sun was shining down on them."Today, we're going to practice fighting with our hands," Maximus said with a smile. "You're getting better, but you still have a lot to learn.""I'm ready," Xavier said, his eyes locked on Maximus. "Let's do this."Maximus chuckled. "Okay, but first, let's start with the basics. Stand with your feet apart and your knees slightly bent. This will help you balance and move quickly."Xavier nodded and took a deep breath. He stood with his feet apart and his knees slightly bent, feeling balanced and ready to move."Good," Maximus said, nodding his head. "Now, let's practice moving around each other. I want you to use different techniques to avoid my attacks and strike back at me."Xavier nodded and took off in a slow circle around Maximus. He practiced different footwork patterns, using his quick reflexes to avoid Maximus's slow, sweeping attacks.As they trained, Maximus gave Xavier advice

    Maximus's eyes lit up with excitement. "Ah, the Hale Manor. I've heard so much about it. It's going to be a pleasure to watch you take them down, Xavier."Xavier's gaze turned cold, his mind focused on the task ahead. "Let's get this over with. I have a score to settle."As they approached the Hale Manor, Xavier could feel the weight of his past bearing down on him. He had been born into this family, but they had never accepted him. They had treated him like dirt, like he was nothing.But now, Xavier was back, and he was not alone. He had Maximus by his side, and together, they were unstoppable.The gates of the Hale Manor swung open, and Xavier's eyes locked onto the mansion. It was just as he remembered it - grand, opulent, and cold."Shall we?" Maximus asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Xavier nodded, his jaw clenched. "Let's do this."As they stepped into the mansion, Xavier was met with the familiar sight of his family's portraits hanging on the walls. He felt a surge of an

  • Chapter 62. Thank Heavens

    I stood at the entrance of the dark tower with anger and hatred burning in my eyes. I just found out that my mate has been faithful to me all these while and she was even the one who helped me escape the subatomic world, but those witches tried to fill my head with lies and fabricated photos, not to mention the torture I went through in their hands. And I will make them suffer a hundredth fold.“How do you wish to play this Maximus?” the demon wolf asked. I clutched the handle of my sword so tight my knuckles were white.“Slow, painful, near death and then an undesirable death.” I said grinning from ear to ear. If someone was there to capture my expression at that moment, I'm sure the person will shudder from fear as I knew I looked like the smiling devil.“Let's go harvest their fears, anger and lives.” the demon wolf said.I dashed into the lobby and was met with the whizzing sound of lightening.“Did you think we won't notice your disappearance?” a girl in plain white came out from

  • Chapter 61. Captured

    I slowly opened my eyes, only to be consumed by darkness. The blackness was suffocating, making it impossible to see beyond my own nose.I tried to stand, but my body refused to cooperate, anchored to a mysterious chair.Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I forced myself to calm down. I attempted to meditate, seeking a connection with the demon wolf within. Silence greeted me.A melodic voice pierced the darkness, its sweetness laced with venom. "Don't bother striving for what's beyond your grasp."I gritted my teeth, fighting to maintain composure. "Who's there? Show yourself!"The voice chuckled, a manic edge creeping in. "The legendary Roman Prince, Maximus Aurelius, bringer of death, now reduced to a helpless captive."Her laughter sent shivers down my spine. I struggled to recall how I ended up here, how I lost consciousness, and who this mysterious woman was."You've discovered you can't reach the demon wolf within," she said, her amusement evident.A spark of realization ign

  • Chapter 60. Illusion

    As I approached the tower, my expectations shattered. Instead of a dark, foreboding Rapunzel-esque spire, a sleek glass skyscraper pierced the sky. I snorted. "Evil tower, indeed."The locals must have never seen a skyscraper before, I thought, or they've been trapped in their quaint town for too long. They sure reminded me of the locals in Rome. What would Commodus when he sees the modern Rome now? He was just immature to kill his father for the throne. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy his time as King.With a flourish, I unsheathed my swords and stepped into the building. The lobby's eerie silence enveloped me. Empty halls stretched out, devoid of life.I strode to the elevator, pressed the top-floor button, and waited. Minutes ticked by, yet the elevator didn't budge. Confusion gnawed at me.Just then, a familiar voice whispered in my ear. "I smell magic here, Maximus."I turned to face the demon wolf, surprised. "You're still here? I thought you'd wandered off."The wolf's gaze lock
