Chapter 812
Silas watched them set to work before returning to his daughter, his expression softening.“When Lieutenant Stone told me this morning that you still hadn’t submitted a report to the higher-ups, I knew I had to come here myself. You hadn’t even formally acknowledged the capture of that high-profile criminal beyond the rumours already reaching their ears.”He glanced at the unconscious Shadow of Death as he added, “This isn’t just any criminal you can keep at a training base, Tessa.”“Hmph! Are you scolding me?” she demanded.“It’s not what you think, Tessa.” Silas sighed. “This man is extremely dangerous, and he works for people who are even more dangerous. Our border military isn’t the only one hearing the whispers about his capture.”He surveyed the assassins his soldiers were restraining, his face losing the softness it had held while he spoke to her.“The Whispering Shadow Alliance has no restraint whatsoever. Just because we don’t want to go to war with them and give enemy nation

The Shadow of Death gave nothing away. Despite the red light resting on Elijah’s back, his expression offered no indication that he had noticed anything.“You’ve put yourself on the radar of the Whispering Shadow Alliance,” he said coldly. “They don’t forgive those who interfere with their business. Not even the military would dare be this brazen.”“I can see why they went through all this trouble to get you out instead of simply leaving a bullet in your skull,” Elijah replied with a smile.The assassin’s face twitched in confusion, but Elijah only added, “Your replacement is quite the amateur.”He waved one hand to the side as he spoke, and the red light on his back disappeared. The Shadow of Death searched frantically for it, then looked at the distant mountain where it had originated, unable to understand what had happened.Whoosh! Two golden streaks appeared in the night sky, returning from the mountain and crossing the open space above the military base.Elijah raised his hand a

BAM! The slap sent dozens of assassins flying behind him, their bodies colliding with one another before they hit the ground. Swords fell among them as they tumbled over the field, leaving Elijah enough space to move clear of the remaining men.The assassins regrouped between him and the helicopter, but none rushed to attack after seeing what had happened to their companions. One stepped ahead of the others, his voice mocking through his mask. “Our mission here is accomplished. Kill yourself right now, or we’ll make you wish you had.”“The history of the Shadow of Death has ended in Sorevia. He goes nowhere,” Elijah answered, showing no reaction to the threat.“He’s gone already.” The assassin laughed and lifted his head to the helicopter, which had climbed high above the field and was moving away from the base.“I just wanted him to have a little taste of freedom for the last time,” Elijah said as he followed the man’s gaze.“What?” The assassin turned back to him, only to see Elij

Within a minute, the fighting in the armoury hallway had come to an end. Elijah Langston stood alone in the passage, his clothes covered in blood while the assassins around him writhed in severe pain. Broken swords and severed limbs lay among the fallen men, and those still conscious could only struggle on the floor, unable to get back on their feet.Leaving the swords behind, Elijah started walking to the armoury. Tessa hurried after him, stepping around the bodies until they reached a heavy reinforced door at the far end of the hallway. A keypad was mounted beside it, and there were no visible signs that anyone had managed to force their way through.“They haven’t gotten in yet,” Tessa said with relief, approaching the keypad and entering the access code. She glanced at Elijah while her fingers worked over the keys. “I thought you said they were professionals.”“The Whispering Shadow Alliance sent what they believed would be enough to handle a training base,” Elijah replied. “The

Elijah drew her back by the arm. “They’re professionals. Stay out of this.”One of the assassins crossed the distance in a single step, his movement so quiet that even his clothes made no sound. His sword was coming down at Tessa when Elijah reached out with his left hand and seized his wrist.The blade stopped a short distance from her as Elijah used his free hand to push her fully behind him.“You don’t have to watch.” His voice was calm, but there was something in its tone.The assassin struggled to free his wrist, only for Elijah’s grip to grow firmer as his right hand formed a fist.BOOM!Elijah punched him in the chest with unrestricted force, releasing the trapped wrist as the blow landed. The man’s ribs shattered, and he flew down the hallway, colliding with his companions and knocking them aside before hitting the floor farther along the passage.Elijah faced the others with murderous intent in his eyes.The black-clad men recovered from their surprise and charged with a shou

Tessa sucked in a cold breath, looking increasingly troubled.“Of course, it’s them. They’re brazen enough to do something like this. Even the Supreme Marshal didn’t dare make a move against them after the Shadow of Death assassinated his son-in-law during his honeymoon. One bullet straight through the head.”She paused before adding, “His daughter was so traumatized that she hasn’t stepped outside to see daylight since then.”“All the more reason you should have handed him over to the Supreme Marshal or at least your father the moment you brought him out of Brooklyn Heights,” Elijah told her. “The higher-ups don’t joke around with nation-level threats like him.”Tessa lowered her head, the confidence she had shown earlier gone from her face. “Husband, I was wrong.”Elijah rested a hand on her shoulder. “I don’t blame you. What’s done is done. We just have to stop them from taking him, dead or alive.”“You think they might be here to kill him?” Tessa asked, lifting her head.“It’s pos
