“I suspect reinforcements do exist. The reason they haven’t arrived after two or three days is simple—they’re still deciding how much they can siphon off.”“Supplies worth ten million? We’ll be lucky if a tenth of that actually reaches the front.”Neil Foster gave a bitter smile.“The Central Council is controlled by a handful of powerful families. They’ve never represented the nation’s interests—only their own.”“That’s why, when my master fought and bled on distant battlefields, he was ultimately framed and driven to his death. He was too upright—he despised those who sold out the country’s interests. And so they were eager to see him gone.”A cold smile touched Joseph’s lips.“The General will not have died in vain. Aren’t we still here? We will restore clarity and justice to Elysia.”Neil Foster’s gaze sharpened.“Well said.”Brian Adams nodded in agreement.“Young master, among the three top targets, we can track all except Mosang in real time.”“We can only approximate his locat

After leaving the house, Joseph drove straight to the Night Rose Nightclub.At present, the Night Rose Nightclub served as the de facto headquarters of Dragon Abyss.For the command center of the world’s largest assassin organization, it appeared almost modest—unremarkable, even shabby.Yet it was also the most discreet.After all, true concealment does not lie in isolation but in plain sight. Who would ever suspect that amid the neon lights, the music, and the endless tide of revelers, the nerve center of the world’s most formidable assassin network lay hidden?Around five in the afternoon, Joseph arrived. After parking in the underground garage, he entered the base through a concealed passage.By then, Neil Foster and Brian Adams had been occupied in the conference room for hours.As Joseph stepped inside, the meeting had just concluded, and the management personnel were filing out. Each paused to greet him respectfully.“Old Neil, it’s settled. I’ll take Mosang. The young master ca

“There are matters within our ranks that I cannot speak of lightly, lest I invite unnecessary trouble.”“But if possible, I would welcome the chance for us to understand one another better.”“Whatever kind of organization you are—whatever banner you serve—as long as our interests do not conflict, I, Clarence Bennett, am not an unreasonable man.”“Besides, your people are clearly formidable. They don’t strike me as petty criminals lurking in the shadows.”“You must have your own ideals, your own purpose—and I suspect neither is small.”Clarence Bennett spoke thoughtfully, his tone edged with speculation.“For now, I cannot reveal what we truly are.”“But I can assure you of this: my people will safeguard Nova City’s stability. We will not do anything that harms the city or its citizens.”Joseph’s reply was firm and unequivocal.“Good. With your word, Professor Wilson, I am at ease.”“When this storm in Nova City has passed, I will pay you a visit myself.”Hearing Joseph’s assurance, Cl

“Of course we kill them.”“These assassins are vicious. The last time they slipped into Nova City, quite a few civilians lost their lives.”“The bastards are madmen—madmen with terrifying strength.”“The surest way to keep Nova City stable and prevent any leaks is to send every last one of those sons of bitches straight to hell.”Old Ortiz spoke with righteous fury.“Old Ortiz is right.”“Our strength alone is nowhere near enough.”“It wasn’t enough last time, and it certainly won’t be enough now.”“This time, our mission remains the same—to coordinate with the Nova City police.”“But there’s a difference. We’ll also need to work alongside another group.”“Only with all three parties acting in concert can Nova City survive this crisis.”“As for who this other group is—I don’t need to spell it out. You already know.”Clarence Bennett spoke pointedly.“Working with another group isn’t the issue.”“The issue is, old Bennett, how can you be sure they’ll act?”“We can’t base our battle pla

“As long as the request isn’t unreasonable, I would agree to it.”Joseph replied almost at once.“And marrying you—becoming your woman—would that count as unreasonable?”Heidi pressed.“I can’t generalize. It would depend on the circumstances.”“You know as well as I do that my situation is… complicated. Marriage, at the very least, requires affection. Mutual love matters.”Joseph answered with deliberate caution.“Then what about us? Would you say we’re mutually in love?”Heidi asked bluntly.“What do you think?”He countered.“I like you. Do you like me?”She refused to let him evade.“Can’t you feel the answer yourself?”Joseph replied with another question.“Hmph. You’re deliberately dancing around it, aren’t you? Typical man—cunning as an old fox.”Heidi huffed.“Go get some rest. I’m heading for a shower.”Joseph said.“Oh, I haven’t showered either. I’ll go now.”After a brief exchange of goodnights, the conversation ended.Heidi lay flat on her bed and let out a soft breath.“

“Then they would marry, of course.”Old Mr. Cooper answered as though it were the most natural conclusion in the world.“And what about the Morgan family? Even if their eldest daughter agreed, would the family itself consent?”Heidi pressed.“It wouldn’t be their place to object. If the Morgan family refused, the Cooper family would step forward.”“Even back then, I accepted the Morgan family’s proposal and allowed their daughter to form an alliance with Joseph.”“You must understand—someone like Joseph does not enter into marriage as a mere union between himself and a woman. His marriage represents the convergence of two powers, the merging of mutual interests.”“Do you see what I’m saying?”Old Mr. Cooper spoke plainly.“So by that logic, my sister married him for the sake of interests. And when you encouraged me and my brother-in-law… that too was for the same reason?”Heidi’s thoughts felt tangled.“You could interpret it that way.”“But your situation is different. You and Joseph
