A plan
The next morning, Ravenmoor woke up to chaos.Inside the grand mansion of the Winston Family, senior members sat around a conference table with grim expressions while a black envelope lay opened at the center of the room. Nobody spoke for several seconds.The contents of the letter were simple, yet terrifying.Surrender all distribution rights and commercial authority over Ravenmoor’s business market to the Crowe Family within ten days. Failure to comply will result in facing the wrath of the Black Covenant Organization.The letter bore the infamous black skull insignia at the bottom, a symbol that had haunted Ravenmoor for years.“This is ridiculous!”One of the elders slammed his fist against the table. “We earned those rights fairly during the Bloodborne Trial!”Another elder nodded angrily. “Exactly! The entire city witnessed it. The Scarface Family and the Winston Family won those rights legally. Now they want us to simply hand everything over?”The room erupted into heated discu
Jaden Rift is a problem
Victor smiled.“Exactly.”“Michael was only one weapon.”“We still possess an army.”His expression hardened.“The important thing now is secrecy.”The room immediately became serious.Victor pointed toward the display.“Jaden Rift must never learn about the V-2 and V-3 projects.”“If the Special Forces discover them before deployment, years of planning could be ruined.”Everyone around the table nodded.They understood.The element of surprise was their greatest advantage now.One member finally spoke.“But Jaden already knows the Black Covenant is involved.”Another nodded.“He knows we’re active.”“He knows we’re operating inside Ravenmoor.”“Are we truly safe?”The room grew quiet.All eyes turned toward Victor.For several moments he said nothing.Then he shrugged.“Safe?”He laughed.A dark laugh.“No.”That answer surprised several people.Victor slowly returned to his seat.“As long as Jaden Rift is alive, nobody is safe.”The room fell silent again.Victor leaned back.“But f
The Black Covenant Base
Far away from the bright lights of the Special Forces Headquarters, deep beneath an abandoned industrial district on the outskirts of Ravenmoor, a secret meeting was taking place.The location itself was hidden beneath several layers of underground tunnels and reinforced steel doors, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to discover. Armed guards stood at every entrance while surveillance systems monitored every corridor.Inside a large conference chamber, dozens of figures sat around a circular table.Each of them wore black clothing marked with the skull insignia of the Black Covenant.The atmosphere was grim.Because only a few hours ago, their greatest weapon had fallen.Victor Halberg sat at the head of the table, his fingers interlocked as his cold eyes swept across everyone present.A giant monitor behind him displayed the image of Michael Thornfell.Or rather…The remains of what had once been their masterpiece.The room remained silent until one of the members final
Julie the Talkative
Jaden smirked slightly and gestured toward the door.The door immediately swung open.A familiar girl rushed inside.“UNCLE DRAX!”Before anyone could react—THUD!Julie launched herself at him.Drax barely had time to register what was happening before she crashed into him.“OOF!”The impact nearly sent him backward.Jaden immediately pinched the bridge of his nose.“Julie.”She blinked.“What?”“He’s still injured.”Julie froze.“…Oh.”She slowly looked up.Drax looked down.Both stared at each other.Then Julie immediately jumped back.“Oh my God!”“I’m sorry!”“I forgot!”“I completely forgot!”Drax couldn’t help laughing.“It’s fine.”“No it’s not fine!”Julie waved her hands frantically.“You have broken ribs!”“Or maybe cracked ribs!”“Actually I don’t know how many ribs!”“I should’ve checked first!”Jaden sighed.Here we go again.Julie continued talking without stopping.“I wanted to visit you earlier, you know?”“I really did!”“I was actually coming!”“But Jaden said no!”
I’m proud of you
After Jaden stepped into the room, Drax immediately reacted as if his body had moved on instinct. The large warlord pushed himself off the bed despite the pain shooting through his battered body and straightened his posture.“General!”He was already preparing to kneel.But before he could lower himself, Jaden closed the distance between them and placed a hand on his shoulder.“That’s enough.”Drax froze.The next second, Jaden pulled him into a brief embrace.The room became silent.Drax’s eyes widened.For a moment he simply stood there, completely stunned.Even during their years together, Jaden was never the overly emotional type. Respect, trust, loyalty—those things were understood between soldiers without needing words.So receiving something like this from the King of War himself completely caught him off guard.“G-General…” Drax stammered.Jaden released him and looked him directly in the eyes.“How are you doing?”The simple question shattered whatever composure Drax had left
Drax is Awake
The journey back to Special Force Headquarters was anything but peaceful.Julie had spent almost the entire ride talking nonstop while Jaden sat beside her with the patience of a saint and Kaiden laughed whenever she found something new to complain about.The argument continued all the way until their convoy finally entered the heavily guarded gates of Special Force Headquarters.The moment the vehicles stopped, Julie jumped out first.“I’m finally free!”Several soldiers nearby couldn’t help smiling as they watched her energy-filled entrance.Meanwhile Jaden calmly stepped out behind her while Kaiden stretched his shoulders.The trio walked into the headquarters together.The moment they entered the main hall, Julie suddenly froze.Her eyes widened.“DAD!”She immediately broke into a run.Across the hall, Marvin Hale was seated near a security desk speaking with two officers when he heard the familiar voice.He looked up.The next second Julie crashed into him.“Julie!”Marvin stood
