Chapter 574: The criminal named Tombstone
"The immediate threat is crushed," Alistair replied smoothly, stepping toward the center of the room with unhurried grace. "However, Evans was merely a strike commander—a pawn used to draw attention away from the true architects."Donald turned from the window, looking at Alistair with profound reverence. "Master Reid, the Bolton family is forever in your debt. Whatever you require to hunt down the leaders of this ring—resources, intelligence, or political backing—our entire house is at your command."A subtle, dangerous curve touched Alistair's lips as he looked out toward the distant city skyline."The roots of this corruption run deep into the higher strata of the province," Alistair said quietly, his golden irises flaring with an absolute, terrifying brilliance. "Let them scramble in the shadows. When the time comes to pull the roots, I will burn the entire forest.”“Master Reid, allow my family to assist you in your endeavours.” Caleb remarked. Alistair inclined his head toward
Chapter 573: A tactical miracle
Nothing happened.No roar of explosives.No buckling of concrete pillars.No shower of dust from the ceiling.There was only the suffocating, freezing silence of the room.Evans stared down at the detonator, clicking it repeatedly in a frenzy of panic. Click. Click. Click. "Why... Why isn't it working?! What did you do?!"Alistair raised his hand slightly, opening his palm.Floating just an inch above his skin was a condensed, glowing orb of golden Qi. Entwined inside the sphere were hundreds of severed copper threads, microchips, and radio frequencies—the broken, scorched signals of every explosive receiver in the entire facility, crushed at the molecular level the exact second Alistair had stepped through the threshold."A mortal flame cannot ignite when the ambient spirit of the world refuses to give it breath," Alistair murmured gently.Before Evans could process the words, Alistair’s golden eyes flared with a cold, terrifying brilliance.Without moving an inch, an invisible, ove
Chapter 572: Mow him down
Jace’s face was ghastly pale, slick with cold sweat, flanked by his three bruised and trembling subordinates.Evans stepped out from his glass-walled office above the main floor, flicking his brass lighter shut with an audible snap.He sauntered down the metal catwalk, his single eye narrowing as he took in Jace's mangled state."I assume the maid's child has been liquidated?" Evans asked, his voice dripping with icy indifference."Boss..." Jace rasped, his voice trembling violently as he leaned against a concrete pillar for support. "We... We were ambushed at the safe house. A monster showed up. He didn't even use a weapon—he crushed my arm without lifting a finger and dropped the rest of the squad instantly!"Evans froze, his brow furrowing deep into his scarred forehead. "A single man? Did he follow you?""N-No!" Jace stammered quickly. "He let us go! We crawled out through the rear garden, got into the backup vehicle, and made sure no one was tailing us before heading straight her
Chapter 571: No rest for the wicked
Standing by the doorway, Isabella felt a lump form in her throat, while Caleb lowered his head, a mixture of guilt and solemn relief washing over his aging features.Alistair stood with his hands loosely folded behind his back, his golden eyes observing the reunion with quiet stillness.After a long moment, he stepped forward, his presence as soothing as a cool mountain breeze.With a gentle tap of his finger against the iron restraints bound around Martha's wrists, the metal locks clicked and fell away instantly, clattering onto the floorboards.Martha rubbed her red, chafed wrists, pulling Viola even tighter into her embrace.She looked up at Alistair through a blur of tears, her face pale with profound gratitude."... I... I don't know how to..." Martha stammered, her voice cracking. "Thank you. Thank you! I will accept any punishment the Bolton family gives me. I'll spend the rest of my life making amends... just please, spare my daughter!"Caleb stepped forward, his voice gruff b
Chapter 570: A mother daughter reunion
Alistair paused, his golden eyes drifting to Denise.He noted the white-knuckle grip she maintained on the edge of the counter, the fierce, protective stance she took despite her trembling limbs, and the raw courage it took to stand between a stranger and the child she had risked her life to safeguard."A friend," Alistair replied softly, adjusting the cuff of his jacket. "And someone who appreciates those who stand to protect the innocent. Relax, miss. Your ordeal is over."Before Denise could formulate another question, heavy, hurried footsteps thundered down the hallway from the upper floor.Three armed mercenaries burst into the passage, weapons raised, alerted by the sound of Jace crashing through the door."Jace! What the hell happened?!" the lead guard yelled, aiming his rifle into the dust-filled kitchen.Alistair didn't turn around.He simply flicked his wrist behind him.An invisible wave of compressed Qi erupted outward, catching all three operatives in mid-stride.The forc
Chapter 569: Denise resolve
Looking at the heavy metal spatula in her hand and the small, ground-floor window above the sink, Denise's resolve hardened. They were going to escape tonight, or they were going to die trying.Denise set the mixing bowl aside with calculated quiet, her knuckles white around the handle of the heavy cast-iron skillet she had quietly unhooked from the rack."Viola," Denise whispered, leaning close so her breath barely stirred the little girl’s hair. "I need you to be as quiet as a little mouse. We’re going to play a game. We’re going to climb out that window, and we can’t make a single peep. Okay?"Viola’s eyes went wide, but she gave a fierce, solemn nod, pressing her tiny hands over her mouth.Denise pulled a sturdy wooden chair beneath the high, narrow window above the sink.Her plan was desperate—unlatching the lock, hoisting Viola through first, and then squeezing her own frame through before the guards upstairs noticed the silence from the kitchen.She stepped onto the chair, her
