2025-06-14 07:00:00As Dann left the briefing room, he took a deep breath to steady himself. The gravity of the mission weighed on him, but there was no room for second thoughts. He would need to keep his focus sharp, his instincts sharper, and his heart armored. This war was personal, and every ally could be a threat, every move watched by hidden eyes.
Just as he was about to enter his office, a familiar voice echoed down the hallway. Roy approached, his face set with a grim determination. “I just spoke with Cobra,” he said quietly. “They’re willing to cooperate, but they have conditions.”Dann narrowed his eyes, bracing himself. “What kind of conditions?”“Cobra insists on maintaining complete anonymity,” Roy replied, glancing around as if someone might be listening. “They want to work alone, delivering information through encrypted channels only. They also demanded a safe passage once the Chain has been dismantled. If we agree, they’ll provide us with intel directly related to the higher

Dann walked back to his office, his mind buzzing with the gravity of their covert operation. The Chain had infiltrated deep, twisting trust into a tool for betrayal, but he was determined to unravel each layer. His steps echoed in the quiet hallway as he turned thoughts of vengeance into a razor-sharp focus. He knew this war required precision and caution—no mistakes, no hesitation.Just as he reached his office, his secure comm device buzzed. It was Roy again.“Dann, I just spoke with Cobra. They’re willing to meet but are demanding full anonymity. They’re insisting on an off-site location.”Dann’s jaw tightened. He didn’t like this demand, but he needed the intel. “Fine. Set it up, but make sure we control the perimeter. I want our best team shadowing them from the moment they step foot inside our territory. Cobra may be an asset, but we’re not giving them the upper hand.”“Understood. I’ll coordinate with Max on the logistics,” Roy replied.After disconnecting, Dann returned to his
Where Chain?
Dann’s eyes opened, his gaze steely as he watched Max disappear down the corridor to ready Eagle Tiger for the mission. His mind churned with every bit of information Roy had shared—names, faces, and suspicions connected to the Chain. This wasn’t a mere external threat; it was a war against the very fabric of loyalty within his organization, and he couldn’t afford a single misstep. As he stood alone in the tactical room, Dann thought of the generals and high-ranking officials he'd served with for years. Now, the possibility that some of them might be colluding with the Chain gnawed at him. There were men he’d fought beside, men he’d trusted his life with. If any of them had turned, he would have to face the painful duty of confronting them. A low beep on the command console brought him back to the moment. It was a secure message from Roy, indicating new intel. He opened the file, and a single word popped up: Cobra. Dann’s brow furrowed. C
Betrayal
Max received an urgent call from Roy, a senior intelligence agent who was supposed to be on leave. Roy’s voice sounded serious and urgent on the other end.“I need to speak directly with Dann, right now,” he said firmly.Max suppressed his annoyance. “Roy, you’re on leave. We have a capable team here. Don’t complicate the situation.”However, Roy didn’t back down. “This isn’t about leave, Max. This information is too important and requires immediate action. The attack that just happened is only the tip of the iceberg. There’s something bigger at play, and it involves people around us—including those we consider trustworthy.”Max paused for a moment. Roy wouldn’t reach out unless it was serious. Reluctantly, Max stepped over to Dann, who was focused intently on the monitor.“Sir,” Max said, his voice restrained, “Roy from intelligence insists he needs to talk to you. He says the information can’t wait.”Dann took a long breath. “Alright, connect him here.”Max linked the call to the co
They Want War?
Dann turned back to the assembled generals, his expression as hard as steel. “This is no ordinary attack. Whoever orchestrated this means business, and they’ve made one critical mistake—they’ve threatened my family. I want you all on high alert. Prepare your forces for immediate deployment across the city. We need to be ready for anything.”The generals exchanged determined glances, each one understanding the gravity of Dann’s words. General Harris, who had been analyzing the tactical layout of the hotel’s vicinity, spoke up. “Sir, if this was meant as a diversion or initial strike, there’s a strong possibility of further attacks. We should expand the security perimeter around the entire area. Our best option might be to establish a command post on-site to coordinate responses swiftly.”Dann nodded, his jaw set. “Good thinking, Harris. Max, set up a command post in the main conference room. I want real-time intel and surveillance on every corner of this building and beyond. Bring in e
Explosion
The distant explosion prompted Max to deploy a large number of elite soldiers to ensure Dann and his family's safety. With calm resolve, Dann took Eva and Xenna’s hands, guiding them to the private room prepared for them in the luxurious hotel.Once there, Dann looked at Eva, his gaze full of worry and determination. “Eva, stay here with Xenna. Don’t leave this room, no matter what happens,” he instructed in a firm yet gentle voice. Eva could sense the concern hidden behind her husband’s calm demeanor, but she simply nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.Dann then turned to Lisa and Mira, who stood alert by the door. “Guard Eva and Xenna. Make sure no one enters this room except me or Max,” Dann ordered firmly.Lisa and Mira, fully aware of the seriousness of his command, nodded resolutely. “Understood, Sir,” Lisa responded confidently, while Mira locked the door, double-checking everything was secure.After making sure Eva and Xenna were safe, Dann stepped out, joining
