Chapter 862
Kitaharai lunged forward in a sudden burst, aiming straight for Joseph.Though the dagger in Joseph’s hand appeared short and unassuming, the force behind it was formidable. With a deft parry and a fluid sidestep, he neutralized the strike effortlessly.When the first attack failed, Kitaharai sprang into the air. In the span of mere seconds, he unleashed dozens of flying kicks in rapid succession—each one sharp and precise. Yet every single blow was dissolved with ease.Joseph was far stronger, his build more solid, his movements swifter and more controlled.Most of Kitaharai’s strikes cut through empty air; those that did not were met head-on and overpowered.Compared to his brother, Kitaharai relied more on agility and technique. But age had caught up with him. Speed without strength was hollow, and his body no longer possessed the vigor it once had.Joseph had not expected this old skeleton to rush so eagerly to Nova City to meet his end.Steel clashed against steel, sparks scatter

“I’m taking his head with me.”Joseph glanced at Kitaharano, sprawled helplessly on the ground.“This…”Mandy and Clarence Bennett were momentarily stunned.Without waiting for their reply, Joseph crouched down. Kitaharano had not yet drawn his final breath.“Didn’t you once say your dream was to be a wanderer, unbound and free?” Joseph said quietly. “And yet, you never escaped the world’s chains. In the end, you came to Elysia for money.”“I admired your philosophy once. It’s a pity—it was never true freedom.”With a faint sigh, Joseph pried the long blade from Kitaharano’s hand.He weighed the weapon briefly, then gripped it with both hands. In a single, decisive stroke, he severed Kitaharano’s head.“Ugh—!”Several young recruits, unaccustomed to such brutality, turned pale and retched. Their legs buckled beneath them.For many, it was the first time witnessing a man killed before their eyes. The shock was more than they could bear.“Whether you agree or not, I’m taking it,” Joseph

The blade swept past Joseph’s face, stopping a mere hair’s breadth from the tip of his nose.Its edge sliced clean through the black cloth masking the attacker, splitting it neatly in two.Caught off guard, the man in black had not anticipated such a turn. He immediately pulled away from Kitaharano, putting distance between them as the clash momentarily ceased.With the veil torn apart, his true face was revealed.“It’s him!”“How could it be him?”Clarence Bennett and Mandy cried out in unison.For the masked man was none other than Joseph—the same Joseph they had encountered twice before.“Hahaha! Hahahaha… So it is you, Autumnless!”“Kill you, and I claim the top rank on the assassin leaderboard.”Kitaharano’s face twisted with malice as he spoke.“Kill me? You overestimate yourself.”Joseph let out a cold, dismissive laugh.“Brother Joseph?”Clarence Bennett exclaimed.“Take the wounded and clear out of this building. Leave him to me.”Joseph tilted his head slightly toward Claren

“Fine. Then we move together.”Clarence Bennett agreed without hesitation.On a battlefield, there is no space for sentiment or prolonged debate—everything unfolds in flashes of lightning.“You five—on me!”“The rest of you, lay down suppressive fire from the front!”With that command, Clarence led his small team toward the flank.At his signal, a dense barrage erupted from the front line.Moments later, gunfire flared from the side as well.Ahead of them, a shadow moved with uncanny agility, scaling half-finished structures as though walking on air.The skeletal buildings, riddled with gaps and broken walls, only enhanced his mobility.Yet even he could not ignore the storm of bullets behind him. He was forced to retreat along a narrow route.Seeing this, Mandy and Clarence exchanged a sharp glance.Their plan was working.“Push forward!”Clarence barked.The frontal unit advanced swiftly.As anticipated, the target veered toward the dead-end alley Mandy had identified.Though it was

“Oh—there’s one more thing.”Joseph rose abruptly, as though something had just occurred to him.“What is it, Young Lord?”Neil Foster turned toward him.“I’ve brought my master’s memorial tablet with me.”“I want to place it beneath his portrait in the hall.”“Tonight, I will offer their severed heads in tribute to his spirit.”Joseph’s voice was cold as steel.“We await your command.”Brian Adams and Neil Foster bowed solemnly.The three then proceeded to the hall, where Joseph carefully set the memorial tablet beneath the portrait of Eugene Wilson.When all was arranged, Brian handed him a stick of incense. Joseph bowed three times before the tablet.“Master, so long as I live, one day I will lay every enemy’s head before you.”“With the skulls of those heartless traitors, I will honor your spirit.”His expression was grave, his voice thick with restrained emotion.He placed the incense upright before the tablet.Brian stepped forward next.“General, even if it costs me this life,

“Young Lord, take a look.”“Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, their ambush locations are largely in line with our projections.”“Clarence Bennett must have deciphered the map.”“They’ll initiate their offensive at five. From here, we should be able to observe the outcome in real time.”“If they succeed, the individual targets will disappear from our feed.”Neil Foster spread a map across the table.“How much they ultimately achieve will depend on battlefield command.”“This engagement will reveal just how capable Clarence Bennett truly is.”Joseph nodded slightly.“Commanders forged in the southern campaigns are rarely mediocre—especially one with such a decorated record.”Brian Adams added.“What about our own deployment? Is everything in place?”Joseph asked.“Old Adams and I have made the necessary arrangements.”“We’ve handled operations like this for years. There shouldn’t be any issues.”“Still, we’d appreciate your input, Young Lord.”Neil said.“We can review it again—
