Chapter 568: Ending up in a nightmare
Alistair merely leaned forward slightly, his golden irises swirling with an ancient, terrifying authority that locked onto her very soul."They hold your daughter in fear," Alistair whispered, his tone an absolute promise. "Tell me where she is, and I will destroy the hand that holds her.”Martha shook her head frantically, fresh tears spilling over her hollowed cheeks as the iron restraints rattled against the table."I don't know where she is!" she sobbed, her voice breaking into a desperate plea. "I swear on my life, I don't know anything about them! A masked man met me near the outer markets yesterday. He showed me a video of my daughter tied to a chair in some dark room and said... he said if I didn't open the subterranean hatch when the signal flared, I'd receive her fingers in the mail!"Caleb closed his eyes, letting out a heavy, weary sigh, while Isabella watched the weeping woman with quiet pity."I believe you," Alistair said smoothly, his tone untroubled by her utter lack
Chapter 567: The traitor
Evans’s jaw tightened, the cigar paper crumpling beneath his thumb. "Intercepted? By whom? Collins’s local police don't have the fire-power to breach an armored transport squad in under two minutes!""We don't know, sir," the leader admitted nervously. "All communications were severed instantly.""Idiots!" Evans snarled, slamming his fist onto the desk with enough force to splinter the thick wood. "These few executives aren't enough! Colonel Taylor is a stubborn bastard—he won't abandon a military operation just because a handful of regional directors complain! We need every high-value hostage from Haven to force the regional governor's hand!"He paced the length of the room, his mind calculating every variable with sharp, ruthless efficiency.After a moment of heavy silence, Evans paused and exhaled a long trail of smoke."We wait until twelve noon tomorrow," Evans decided, his tone settling into a dangerous calm. "If these sniveling fools fail to mobilize enough political leverage t
Chapter 566: Evans demand
The remaining three opened fire, but the hail of lead flattened against an invisible golden barrier before Alistair moved—a flash of pure crimson precision.A crushed chest, a snapped neck, and a shattered spine later, silence reclaimed the bridge.Alistair stepped over the corpses and calmly severed the council members' bindings with a wave of his fingers.The three men collapsed onto the metal floor, gasping for air, tears of profound relief streaming down their faces as they stared at their savior in silent awe."This..." the senior councilman stammered, shaking violently. "How... who are you?""That is irrelevant," Alistair replied softly, adjusting his cuffs as the faint sound of approaching sirens wailed in the distance. "Law enforcement approaches. Your lives are secured."He turned his back on the bridge, his golden eyes sweeping over the distant, dark horizon where the remaining three vans had fled. They had escaped into the night, but Alistair’s mark remained locked upon the
Chapter 565: A single palm strike
Alistair moved so fast that the mountain trees blurred into a single, continuous wall of green.Within ninety seconds, the concrete structure of the Southern Subterranean Tunnel entrance loomed ahead in the darkness.The heavy, blacked-out armored transport carrying Jacob was just fifty meters from entering the dark maw of the tunnel, its engine roaring as it breached the perimeter checkpoint barrier, crushing the metal barricades without slowing down.Alistair didn't bother using the road.He launched himself off a nearby ridge, sailing through the night sky and landing with a bone-shattering thud directly onto the roof of the armored van.The vehicle bucked violently under the sudden weight, its tires screeching as the driver struggled to maintain control inside the narrow, echoing tunnel."What the hell was that?!" the driver screamed into his comms, panic lacing his voice as the ceiling metal above him caved inward. "We've been hit from above!""Keep driving! We're almost out of t
Chapter 564: A need to prioritize
“Whatever it is, I'll get to the bottom of it. Come with me.” Alistair remarked as he made his way to the other van to release the other hostage there. Alistair strode over to the second transport, which lay overturned against the shattered concrete guardrail.Smoke billowed from under its crushed hood, filling the crisp mountain air with the acrid stench of burning oil and electrical wire.With a single, measured pull, Alistair tore the mangled rear door clean off its hinges, tossing the heavy sheet of steel aside like cardboard.Inside, bound and battered, sat Patriarch Wade of the prominent Wade Trading House. His expensive silk robes were torn, and a thick crimson smudge ran down his temple, though his eyes were wide with a mix of sheer terror and utter disbelief.He had witnessed the short, brutal massacre through the cracked glass of the cabin.“It's you… aren't you the one that Mason Gordon had an altercation with?” Patriarch Vane stammered, his voice trembling violently as A
Chapter 563: A targeted operation
Up ahead, the two vans bound for the mountains were pushing over a hundred miles per hour, winding through the sharp, unlit curves of the elevated cliffside road.Inside the lead transport, four heavily armed mercenaries sat in tense silence, their tactical visors glowing faint green in the dim interior.In the back, bound in heavy steel suppressive cuffs, Isabella sat against the reinforced wall. Her evening dress was torn at the hem, her dark hair slightly disheveled, but her posture remained remarkably composed despite the tape covering her mouth.Her starlit aura flickered weakly beneath the spiritual jammer strapped to her wrist, yet her eyes remained sharp, watching her captors' every move with quiet calculation.Suddenly, the driver’s eyes widened as he glanced in his side mirror. "What the hell? We’ve got a single vehicle gaining on us!""Impossible," the squad leader in the passenger seat barked, checking his tactical display. "The rear guard van was supposed to block the in
