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
Chapter 562: To reverse the pull of death
Alistair pressed two fingers against Elizabeth's wound. With a flick of his wrist and a micro-surge of concentrated spiritual energy, he extracted the lead slug directly from her body without causing further tissue damage, tossing the bloodied bullet onto the hardwood.Her heart rhythm was failing rapidly from severe blood loss.To reverse the pull of death, Alistair bit the tip of his finger, drawing a single, shimmering drop of his own divine Life Blood—a concentrated essence of his profound cultivation base.He pressed the golden-tinted droplet directly against her lips, guiding it into her system while channeling his own aura to circulate the divine energy through her collapsing veins.The effect was instantaneous.The gushing hemorrhage sealed as her flesh regenerated from within, her deathly pale cheeks regaining a soft, warm flush.Her erratic breathing stabilized into a deep, peaceful rhythm.Exhausted by the massive physical shock, her eyes drifted shut, and she fell into a
Chapter 561: Sudden intrusion
Alistair’s spiritual perception expanded instantly, piercing through the mahogany walls, sweeping across the grand halls, and extending into the surrounding estate gardens."Patriarch Bolton," Alistair said softly, his tone unnervingly serene. "Are you expecting additional guests to arrive via the secondary roof access and the southern perimeter wall?"Caleb frowned, taken aback. "No, Master Reid. All invited guests and their entourages arrived before the banquet commenced. The outer perimeter is completely locked down by our private security.""Then we have an intrusion," Alistair stated, setting his teacup down with a light, porcelain click.Before Caleb or Elizabeth could fully register his words, a muffled, metallic crash echoed from the floor below, followed immediately by the staccato bark of automatic gunfire. High-pitched screams of terror tore through the acoustic grandeur of the banquet hall, cutting off the string quartet mid-note.Elizabeth gasped, her face draining of co
Chapter 560: Kicked out unceremoniously
"Insolent brat!" Donald Bolton’s thunderous voice echoed through the vaulted hall as he stepped to the edge of the dais, his face pale with fury. "Who gave you the authority to address my father with such utter disrespect?! Security! Drag this sniveling fool outside and beat him until—""Donald, lower your voice," Caleb interrupted smoothly, raising a single hand.The grand patriarch stood tall, looking down at Mason with a quiet, profound pity that cut far deeper than any physical strike."I am thoroughly disappointed in you, Mason," Caleb said softly, his voice carrying an icy weight across the silent hall. "You possess neither the temperance of a leader nor the basic courtesy of a gentleman. Out of respect for your father, I will not have you beaten on my floor tonight. Leave this estate immediately. But hear me well—if you ever approach my granddaughter or disrespect the Bolton name again, not even Patriarch Gordon will be able to shield you from the consequences.""You senile old
