Chapter 334
"That damned woman!" General Marcus roared, his face flushed with rage.Launching fifty missiles wasn't cheap—each missile cost about three million dollars.Vancouver had just burned through a hundred and fifty million dollars like it was pocket change.But the worst part was Chicago's defense system. It automatically intercepted every incoming missile, and each defense missile cost five million.Chicago had already bled two hundred and fifty million dollars just to protect itself.War burned money faster than gasoline.Marcus watched as the enemy missiles exploded harmlessly in mid-air, filling the sky with brilliant, costly fireballs."Get the governor of Vancouver on the line!" Marcus barked.Within moments, the call connected."Listen here, you arrogant piece of trash," Marcus seethed. "Are you declaring war on Chicago? How dare you launch missiles at us!"Jasmine’s voice came through icy and unyielding."How dare you kidnap Alex? You release him right now, or I'll send another fi

Previously, while Alex was still trapped in the prison cage, Major General Marcus Hale sat comfortably in his Chicago office, enjoying a cigar when his phone rang.He picked it up casually."Laura Montclair," Marcus drawled with a lazy smirk. "You wanted this Alex guy dead, right? Consider it done. Mind telling me again who exactly he is?""He's just some nobody doctor running a tiny clinic in a Vancouver slum," Laura said coldly. "Nothing to worry about."Marcus chuckled, exhaling a slow stream of smoke."I’ve wiped out thousands like him—he’ll vanish, no question. But…" He smirked, voice dropping into a darker tone."If you give me another night like last week, I might even take my time. Drag it out. What do you say?""Perfect," Laura shot back coldly. "I was craving that too."The line went dead.Barely moments later, the phone rang again. Marcus frowned when he saw the caller ID."Governor Tom Jones? What’s the matter now?""I hear you're holding someone named Alex," Tom Jones sai

At the Kingston government office, the phone rang sharply, cutting through the heavy silence.Jasmine lifted the receiver without breaking her stride. “Jasmine here.”“Jasmine, we have a situation!” Kelly's voice burst out, urgent and tense.She paused, her brow furrowing. “What's happened?”“Alex has been arrested by the Chicago military!” Kelly swiftly recounted the details, her voice clipped and precise.As Jasmine listened, her expression darkened, eyes narrowing with every word.“Using the Chicago military to snatch him? Whoever orchestrated this has serious connections.”“Jasmine, I bet it’s one of the Chicago Lords flexing their muscle—probably the Jones family,” Kelly growled.“Yesterday Alex tore through the Jones' estate, crippled Tom's son, all to protect you. They won't let that slide.”“It definitely smells like the Jones' handiwork,” Jasmine said grimly.“But Tom alone couldn’t summon military power. Another Lord must be backing him.”“I'm mobilizing Vermont’s military i

Lyra stormed out into the open, chased closely by Sophia.“Lyra! What the hell are you doing to Laura? I've never seen you like this before!”Sophia had known Lyra for years. She'd always seemed kind, gentle even. This ruthless side was completely new and terrifying.Ignoring Sophia, Lyra walked toward a nearby pond, plunging her blood-stained hands into the water.She watched the blood swirl away and muttered, "You don't really know me, Sophia."She moved slowly to a bench beneath a tree, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.“You told me you'd quit!” Sophia said, voice trembling with disappointment.“I did quit,” Lyra exhaled sharply, blowing smoke into the sky.“Three whole years. But today I broke it. I need this, Sophia.”Sophia stared in disbelief, struggling to find words. “How—how can you shoot people like this?”Lyra shrugged, her tone cool and distant. “I practice at a shooting range. I have licenses for all my guns.”“You kill people, Lyra!” Sophia shouted, her voice cracking

“You want me to heal your husband, and yet you dare threaten me?”Alex laughed bitterly, shaking his head. “You've got to be joking.”Laura's eyes darkened, venom lacing every word. “You’re like someone who needs to see their own coffin to realize they're dying.”“Fine. If you won’t save him now, mark my words—when you're on your knees, bleeding, bones shattered, begging for mercy—it’ll be too late. This is your final chance to reconsider before things get ugly.”Alex met her fury with a calm defiance.“Sorry, not interested.” He turned sharply toward the exit.Just then, chaos erupted near the hospital’s entrance. All heads snapped up as a military vehicle roared into view, skidding to a halt.The soldiers leapt out, fully armed, their faces grim and lethal. People scattered, a path clearing as if by instinct alone.Sophia’s eyes widened in shock. “The military? Here? Are they arresting someone?”Laura smirked wickedly. “Alex, this is your very last chance.”Lyra shot a glare at Laura
Chapter 329
Laura’s face twisted in rage. Without hesitation, she swung her hand, landing a fierce slap across the doctor’s face.“What kind of worthless bastard calls himself a doctor, yet sends my husband home just to wait for death?” she screamed, her voice shaking with fury.Dr. Peter stood frozen, stunned. One of Vermont's finest doctors had just been humiliated by this woman.“Listen carefully, woman,” he snarled bitterly.“Your husband will die. Nothing on earth can save him now, not even your parade of second opinions. Frankly, with a venomous wife like you, it’s no wonder he’s headed to an early grave.”Laura exploded, her voice cracking with raw fury.“What the hell did you just say to me? You dare sentence my husband to death and blame me for it? Are you begging to die?”The assistants quickly stepped forward, forming a barrier around Dr. Peter, terrified by Laura’s wild wrath.“Guards!” Laura roared. “Beat them! Break every damn bone in their bodies!”“Yes, Ma’am!” Two guards surged fo
