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—

“Captain Christopher—what brings you here?”Joseph stepped forward, shook his hand, and glanced at the officers behind him.“Mr. Wilson, we’ve been assigned to duty in this area to ensure the safety of certain individuals.”“We’re aware of the gravity of the current situation. Orders from above are for us to remain stationed here for the next few days.”“My men will stay outside the premises. We won’t disturb your daily life.”Christopher spoke with a courteous smile.“I see.”“These next few days may indeed be unstable. Thank you for your efforts.”Joseph felt a measure of reassurance.The presence of the Nova City Police was partly their obligation—but undoubtedly also influenced by old Mr. Morgan.“We’ll do what we can. The city has already launched operations. The main battlefield lies elsewhere.”“If their efforts fail, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold the line either.”“There’s no need to say more—you understand the situation. I’ll assign posts and deploy officers at each int

“These are ambush sites—and sniper positions. Not all of them, but a portion.”After studying the map, Clarence Bennett spoke with quiet certainty.“What?”The officers exchanged bewildered looks.The ambush points and sniper locations marked on the map were nothing like what they had anticipated.“Judging from the movement intelligence and these markings, it’s clear they originate from the same source.”“They were concerned we might overlook something—so they chose to give us a nudge.”Clarence’s voice carried a note of admiration.“This…”The room fell into stunned silence.“Who exactly are they? Why would they help us?”“To mark these positions so precisely suggests significant expertise—at the very least, exceptional military training.”“Our thinking has been conventional. Theirs, however, is anything but.”“Now that the points are marked, we can understand them. But without those markings, we would never have conceived of such placements. This is the work of a true strategist.”“
