Chapter 532
“Don’t you dare, Isaac!” the old man cursed, but his body slumped under the strain, the words costing him what little strength he had left.Isaac Blake grinned like a man who had just found something he had been looking for. He gestured at Elijah with the barrel. “You, move to this side.”Elijah didn’t move a single muscle. “Your plan is to kill me and brand me as the Insolent Expert,” he said, the cold smile still on his face. “But if one of these women gets caught in the shot, your story won’t be straight.”From where he stood, positioned squarely in front of Serena, Margaret and Rosalie behind him were directly in the line of any stray round.Isaac’s face fell for just a moment, the horror of being called out crossing his expression before he buried it. “You idiot, move! Now!”The young man was right. Without additional casualties, the story to the higher authorities would hold cleanly. With them, it would fall apart.“No.” Elijah’s voice was simple. “I won’t move. If you miss your

Elijah halted the moment he heard the rifle cock and turned to find the barrel aimed directly at him from across the compound.He let out a low sigh. “So you have decided to commit the crime yourself. Taking responsibility will be perfect this way, I suppose.”“Shut up!” Isaac’s voice cracked. “What do you know about the border military and how we operate?”“Julius, don’t say anything...” Serena whispered urgently from behind him. Everyone could see it now. Isaac was disturbed, and a disturbed man with a loaded rifle was a different kind of dangerous.Elijah answered anyway. “I just know that you cannot kill me today without consequences. If you leave now, everyone here can pretend nothing ever happened.”Isaac’s countenance twitched, and his grip on the rifle tightened. “Who are you to decide that? I decide everything here. I am Grand Marshal Isaac Blake, and you are still bold enough to stand there and offend someone of my status?!”“I think the Grand Marshal title might be a little
Chapter 530
“You… you really want to die!” Isaac Blake’s face twisted into open rage as he jabbed a finger at Elijah. “Do you think you can throw around the name of the Supreme Marshal however you please?!”“I’m only making an assumption.” Elijah’s voice took the same calm as before. “If we assume that you are a Grand Marshal, then we can equally assume that I am the Supreme Marshal right now.”Uncle Felix stomped and hurled words on him immediately. “Surnamed Langston, who invited you here to cause trouble for our DiLaurentis family?! The name of the Supreme Marshal is not something to be joked about!”The family members around him nodded in nervous agreement.People wouldn’t even dare to casually mention the overall head of the border military in private conversation, let alone say what had just been said out loud, in the direct presence of men from the border military itself. This Elijah Langston truly wanted to die today.Serena’s teeth pressed together slightly. This was one of her deepest

Isaac Blake could clearly see the shift in Elijah’s expression, and a wide smile broke across his face immediately.He raised his chin. “Even a useless person understands what it means to be a Grand Marshal. Are you regretting your recklessness now that you realize where you are standing?”Elijah didn’t respond. His eyes simply moved across Isaac, deliberately scanning him from the crown of his head all the way down to the ground beneath his feet. No one in the compound could tell what he was looking for or what he was finding.“Julius, listen to me. Get out now!” Serena’s voice came again with urgency. “You are not permitted to be here!”“Listen to her, son-in-law.” Old Master DiLaurentis spoke from where he still hung in the soldiers’ grip, his voice low but pushing through. “We can handle this. He is Grand Marshal Isaac Blake from the border military. Step out of this. You don’t have to be involved.”He said it, but even as the words left his mouth, he already knew. He could alrea

The armed men froze on the spot and didn’t dare squeeze the triggers. Their fingers had already slid off entirely, every bit of their attention pulled toward the ordinary-looking person walking into the compound. The words from his mouth didn’t match his face at all, but they were strong enough to hold every rifle in place.Serena blinked repeatedly, unable to process what she was seeing. She couldn’t believe that the person standing at that gate was her insolent husband. Perhaps she had already been shot, and this was simply her mind producing what she wanted to see. That was what she thought until Elijah looked in their direction and their eyes met directly.“Sorry I’m late, Wifey.” He made a cross over his chest with one hand, completely unbothered by the dozens of eyes boring holes into him from every direction in the compound. “Don’t think of me as a bad husband. I’ll make this up to you, cross my heart.”What no one in that compound could see was what was happening on the insi
Chapter 527
Five armed soldiers standing to the side marched forward toward the tied-up women and cocked their rifles in one quick motion.The faces of the DiLaurentis family turned pale instantly. Nobody had expected it to go this far, this fast.“Stop this nonsense right now!” David DiLaurentis shouted, and the force of it sent a sharp, searing pain ripping through his chest. He groaned and collapsed back into the wheelchair, the butler rushing to settle him properly.Isaac raised one hand. The soldiers halted and stood at ease.He approached the wheelchair slowly. “Is there something you want to tell me, David? You were also taken by the Shadow of Death last night?”“What are you talking about?” David’s face twitched slightly, but he locked his composure down tight and gave nothing away.“The mercenary who kidnapped you and your granddaughters.” Isaac stopped in front of the wheelchair. “You may not be aware, but he is a nation-level threat wanted by the military. My investigation shows you pa
