Chapter 56. The Storm is Over, a New Storm Arrives
Before Javon could even finish his words, the woman in black strode forward and hugged him tightly. Before he could react, she had already planted a kiss on his cheek.Javon stood there, stunned.When Sherly saw this scene, she immediately felt a deep sense of discomfort. ‘Who was this woman, to come and kiss Javon just like that?’Gently pushing the woman away, Javon wiped his cheek. "Eliana? Why are you here?"Seeing the woman's face, Javon felt both shocked and embarrassed. More accurately, a feeling of guilt. Good heavens, what kind of awkward situation is this?He glanced at Sherly and saw her gloomy expression. He knew his wife had misunderstood."Let me introduce you," Javon said stiffly, pulling Sherly closer. "This is my wife, Sherly." He then looked at Eliana. "Sherly, this is... Eliana, a friend from my time in prison."When Eliana heard Javon was married, her expression instantly turned sad and angry. "Javon, how could you get married? Then what about me? Don't forget, th
Chapter 55. A Fight to the Last Drop of Blood
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Javon said to the bomb disposal expert, "And all of us are entrusting our lives to you."Everyone nodded. The timer on the screen now showed the final ten seconds. The bomb expert's hands were drenched in cold sweat. The wire cutters in his hand trembled slightly. When the countdown reached one second, he squeezed his eyes shut, aimed for the three remaining wires, and cut them in a single, swift motion.The people around him instinctively closed their eyes, surrendering to fate.After a few moments that felt like an eternity, no deafening explosion was heard. The expert slowly opened his eyes and looked at the screen. The timer had truly stopped at the one-second mark."Success!" he cried, his voice trembling with relief and joy. He had not only saved his own life but the lives of dozens of people around him.Seeing this, Javon breathed a sigh of relief. "Can I remove the bombs from them now?""Of course. The bombs are completely harmless now."Javon im
Chapter 54. Countdown at the Cliff's Edge
"Alright, hurry!"After hanging up, Javon looked at the two women and said with conviction, "We're going to make it, don't worry.""Really?""Thank God, Javon. I don't want to die yet," Serana said, her voice trembling with relief. As they heard there was a hope for survival, their fear subsided slightly.CRACK!However, just as they began to feel a sliver of relief, a bullet shot toward Javon."Watch out!""Javon!"A split second before the bullet could pierce his body, Javon bent his body to the left with an incredible reflex. The bullet only grazed his earlobe, leaving a stinging heat in its wake. The next second, he shot behind a pavilion pillar for cover. Three seconds later, another volley of shots slammed into the pillars, cracking them, causing them to tilt forward until the entire pavilion roof collapsed on top of them."Impressive," Javon muttered, glancing toward the dense forest where the shots had originated. He realized the men from before were just bait. The real person
Chapter 53. The Choice at the Cliff's Edge
The mercenary handed the bank card to his leader. The man inserted the card into a laptop, and in less than ten seconds, he snapped it shut with a satisfied smile."The money's in. Quick and easy.""Brother," Javon said in a calm tone, "You've got your money. I'm going to die, so why not let me die in peace? Grant me one last wish." Javon was trying to fish for more information, just in case he had a chance to make it back alive.The mercenary leader pressed the barrel of his rifle against Javon's chin, observing him with an arrogant air. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. After all, you're all going to die, and dead men tell no tales.""Just think about it, who have you offended?" the leader prodded."The Edelweis family in Selvana? Or the Conner family?" Javon guessed, staring intently at his opponent.The man gave a slight nod.Javon continued, "So... both of them? The Edelweis and the Conner families?""Bingo! You're a smart one," the leader replied. "But it's a pity you won't see
Chapter 52. The Trap at the Cliff's Edge
The call was from Megias."Master, we have identified the other party.""Is it the Danmaji Mercenaries?" Javon asked directly."Precisely, Master. You already knew?" Megias's voice was tinged with surprise. He had worked tirelessly to obtain that information, yet Javon had gotten it first. It seemed his decision to serve Javon was indeed the right one.Javon only smiled faintly. He had his principles. Although he had many connections in prison, he never flaunted his relationships with them. His goal was to ensure no one knew the true extent of the power he wielded."Tomorrow," Javon said, his tone serious, "Have someone position snipers at the furthest point from Broken Bridge Cliff. As soon as I give the signal by patting my head, eliminate all targets at the location.""Understood, Master!"Javon was no fool. He wouldn't go in alone and unprepared when facing a group of the Danmaji Mercenaries' caliber. No matter how skilled he was, he wouldn't recklessly charge into an unknown dang
Chapter 51. A Call from the Past
"Come in!"The person who entered was Serana. Javon then introduced them to each other. "Aunt, this is Sherly. For the time being, she is my assistant.""I've long heard of Miss Edelweis's name," Serana said with a smile. "Seeing you today, you are indeed very beautiful. Your legs have healed? Congratulations."As soon as she entered, Serana saw Javon and Sherly holding hands, and a flicker of displeasure crossed her heart. However, she quickly concealed it, afraid they would see. She told herself not to overthink it; she was Javon's stepmother now.Sherly smiled in return. "Thank you for your concern. I look forward to your guidance during my time at the company." Although she didn't know why Javon's father had married a woman so young, Serana was indeed very charming, with an elegant temperament that radiated from within. And, why does Javon call her Aunt?"Of course, we're all family," Serana said. "How about this? I'll treat you both to dinner tonight as a welcome for Sherly.""Al
