Chapter 185
Elijah did not answer, nor did he make any immediate movement. He simply stood there, his back to them.Under the dim green emergency light, his figure appeared calm… too calm to be real. The officers couldn’t see his face, only a silent silhouette standing in the middle of the wrecked room with his back turned to them.Officer Sophia gritted her teeth. “I’ll say it one more time,” she warned loudly. “Step away from her and kneel with your hands on your head.”Still, Elijah Langston remained motionless, as if he had not heard her at all.A faint tension spread through the team of officers, causing them to tighten their grips on their rifles. All they needed right now was the order to take this person down.“You!” Sophia raised her voice. “Kneel—!”Before she could finish, Elijah Langston flicked his sleeves back without warning.The movement was clean, sharp, and so fast that some officers didn’t even see

Andrew clenched his fist and took a step back instinctively. He didn't think the intruder could survive such electricity, or even kill the two capable men he had with him."You! Don't you dare think you can do whatever you want here. You may have killed people today, but let me tell you: I'm associated with the great Ainsworth family and I'm the right-hand man of Madam Ainsworth. If anything happens to me today, you'll have only yourself to blame."Now that it had come to this, how could he not use the name of his employer against this strong person? The Ainsworths were well respected and feared in Brooklyn Heights."All the more reason to kill you today," Elijah said coldly, his eyes flickering. He had been planning to pay the Ainsworths a visit soon enough, but perhaps sending them a message first was best."You!" Andrew's face distorted.Officer Mark smirked as he rolled his shoulders, letting the twin blades slide freely. "Don't be scared of his nonsense, Andrew. As long as I'

Elijah Langston's steps were unhurried as he moved closer and looked at those who were left."Are those who electrocuted her dead yet?" His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to put immense pressure in the room.The foam around her lips from convulsions and the burn marks on parts of her skin were evidence that electricity had been used on her. How could they have the heart to do this?The two burly men looked at each other and back to Elijah before slowly revealing the highly charged stun rod they had. What better answer did Elijah Langston need?The two men charged the rod to its maximum with electricity that could stop someone's heart on the spot if touched.One took a step and snorted coldly. "What if we are responsible? What are you going to do today?"The other stepped forward with a sly smirk that almost reached his ears. "I enjoyed putting electricity into her body and hearing her scream just now. Do you want to get a feel of electricity?" He brandished the stun rod, an e

The group of men were taken aback when the place was plunged into darkness, and they instinctively stepped back.Officer Mark grabbed his blade from the ground and cursed, “What are you waiting for? Deal with him!”The burly guards in the room couldn't see properly, but they all had a mental image of where Elijah Langston was standing.Together, they rushed as one and attacked with the strength of their fists. Each man had been well trained for several years and could easily take on a frail-looming man, right?To their shock, Elijah Langston's figure blurred forward, and what followed was the sound of bones breaking.Bam!They were struck directly in the chest by something that didn't feel like a fist but like a runaway train.The burly men coughed blood and were sent flying in different directions with broken ribs. By the time their bodies hit the ground, they were all dead on the floor, their internal organs ruptured beyond repair.What sort of force was this?At that moment the b

The call with Andrew was taken off hold."Madam, are you still there?"Grace sighed deeply before explaining the matter to Andrew, then she added, "...patch her up and send her to the hospital. We'll find a story to cover up everything that follows. She won't dare talk to anyone about it.""Understood, Madam."Andrew hung up and hurried forward to announce, "Turns out she was telling the truth. I knew something was off from the start.""What are you talking about?" Officer Mark asked, sharpening his blade, "I was just preparing to continue..."Without hesitation, Andrew explained to Officer Mark what Grace Ainsworth had told him. Serena had been drugged, but she wasn't a victim in the way they had assumed.Serena, who lay quietly on the floor half awake and half unconscious, could clearly hear what they were discussing, and the realization slowly crept into her heart.When footage appeared at the launch event, she had thought about it but she had brushed it off since she didn't appear
Chapter 180
"She passed out again."Back at the high-rise building, Serena lay slumped on the floor, her back marked with dozens of sharp cuts, her body limp. Her back was completely covered in blood and disfigured beyond imagination.Officer Mark stepped back, his blade still slick with crimson and his expression unchanged.The two burly men advanced cautiously, each holding a pair of metal prongs charged with electricity.Serena’s eyes fluttered open as a jolt shot through her body. Her muscles convulsed violently, and she gasped, coming back to consciousness.The men immediately stepped back, letting her collapse to the floor.She lay there, weak and trembling, utterly unable to speak or lift a finger. From a distance, anyone who glanced at her might have mistaken her for dead.Officer Mark’s voice was low but audible, directed toward Andrew. “This isn’t stubbornness anymore. If we continue like this, she’ll die.”Andrew, who had just finished the last of his chips, let out a deep sigh and
