“How is that overbearing? Joseph is concerned for your safety—don’t be so ungrateful.”“Anyone involved in this project will inevitably become privy to its secrets.”“And right now, there are forces everywhere with their eyes fixed on this research. Anyone who knows the inside details could be in danger.”Alice spoke up at that moment.“It’s not that I don’t understand Mr. Wilson’s concern.”“But if you can stand by his side, then I want to as well.”“Besides, I’ve collaborated with the Morgan Group many times. I’m quite familiar with their research team.”“If he needs assistance, I’m undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.”Mason Alvarez insisted.“I’ll consider it carefully.”“But I need to examine the specifics of the research before making a decision.”Joseph replied.“I’ll call Grandfather tomorrow morning and explain your plan.”“He’s probably already resting.”Alice nodded slightly.Just then, her phone began to vibrate.“Oh—no need to wait until morning.”“Grandfather is call

“By the way, sir, things here are more or less under control.”“Quite a few assassins entered Nova City tonight. It might be wiser for you to return to Miss Morgan’s side.”“Though we’ve stationed plenty of capable men around her residence—”“—with you protecting her personally, her safety would be beyond question.”Brian Adams seemed to recall something and turned to Joseph.“You’re right.”“I’ll leave the rest to you.”“I’ll head back now. Contact me if anything arises.”Joseph glanced at the time. It was just past midnight.Compared to the previous operation, this one had been resolved swiftly.“Understood.”Brian nodded.Joseph did not linger. Before long, he was driving toward Whispering Pines Villas.When he arrived home, the lights in the villa were still on.It was already one in the morning.That girl Alice—and Mason Alvarez—were likely waiting up for him again.The thought stirred a warmth in Joseph’s chest.He pushed the door open and stepped inside.Alice was curled up bes

“Ugh…”Ano Eagle stared at Joseph, blood spilling from his mouth. He tried to speak, but no words came.The damage to his body was catastrophic.A man renowned for the sheer toughness of his physique had been unable to withstand even three of Joseph’s punches.Just how terrifying was Joseph’s strength?By then, Neil Foster and the others had come down as well.As Neil reached Joseph’s side, Ano Eagle breathed his last.“That’s it? He’s dead?”Neil stared at the corpse in disbelief.“Compared to most assassins, he was indeed resilient—strong, too. Unfortunately for him, he met me.”Joseph regarded the body calmly.“It’s fortunate you stepped in, sir. Otherwise, we might have been at it for hours—and lost a few brothers along the way.”Neil spoke with lingering unease.“Cut off his head.”Joseph instructed.“Understood.”“Do as the sir says.”Neil gestured to one of his men, who immediately set to work.“I wonder how Old Adams is faring.”Joseph found a tissue somewhere and began wiping

“Yes. We chased him for over an hour, then kept him pinned down here for another.”“The brat’s like a turtle in its shell—refuses to come out no matter what.”“If we weren’t in Nova City, where explosives are off-limits, I’d have blown him to pieces already.”Neil Foster spoke through clenched teeth.“Leave it to me.”As he spoke, Joseph removed the rest of his gear and tossed it to Neil.“Sir, you’re not thinking of going in through the second-floor window, are you?”Neil asked.“That won’t work. Didn’t you say he’s covering both the stairwell and the windows with a heavy machine gun?”“Going in that way would make you a sitting target.”Joseph gave a cold smile.“Exactly. So what’s your plan?”Neil pressed.“Where did he even get a heavy machine gun? In a place like Nova City, how did he manage to bring something like that in?”Joseph asked, puzzled.“He must’ve ambushed one of the Nova City Guard’s heavy-weapons posts after entering the city.”“With most of the Guard focused on the

“I know. I simply have no interest in this sort of collective endeavor.”“Beasts of prey walk alone; only cattle and sheep move in herds.”“You didn’t take part either. In temperament, we are much the same—equally independent.”Mosang drew a deep breath before speaking.“You should leave. After decades as an assassin, you’ve earned more than you could ever spend.”“If I were you, I’d wash my hands of it all and go enjoy the comfort of family.”Joseph sheathed the military blade in his hand.“What did you say?”Mosang could scarcely believe his ears.“I said, you may go.”Joseph repeated himself.“Why? You won. You should kill me.”Mosang was utterly perplexed.“If this had been years ago, you would already be dead.”“But now, I have no desire to kill you. Leave while you can—if I change my mind, you won’t get the chance.”“I have a family. So do you. They must be waiting for you to return safely.”Joseph turned his back, his voice tinged with quiet reflection.Hearing this, Mosang—sti

At that very moment, Joseph gave the roof of the car a light tap and launched himself into the air.His gaze sharpened, locking onto the direction from which the disturbance had come.With a subtle shift of his footing, his figure blurred forward, racing toward the source of the sound.Using the surrounding trees for leverage and the height of his leaps, he moved swiftly through the forest canopy.As he pursued, he sensed something fleeing ahead of him—the rustling growing louder, more urgent.Soon, he caught sight of a dark silhouette darting through the trees.Joseph accelerated. He was faster—noticeably faster.The distance between them steadily narrowed.At last, the shadow halted in a clearing. Joseph descended lightly onto the open ground, standing opposite the figure.“Mosang. I knew I wouldn’t need to look for you—you would come to me.”A cold smile curved Joseph’s lips.“Autumnless. You vanished for years, and yet I still could not take your place. What a pity.”“It is the gr
