Chapter 427:
General Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of power and influence as he spoke, Captain Luke immediately nodded and began carrying out the whole instructions, starting from calling the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency headquarters.Agent Rodriguez immediately stepped forward. "Sir, I'll coordinate with our technical analysis team. We have footage from our drones, body cameras, and the mansion's security systems. We should be able to identify the attackers' equipment, tactics, and potentially their faces even with the masks. It's not much, but it's a start.""Good," General Carl Gerald said with a sharp nod.“You can also add facial recognition running against every criminal database we have access to. International, domestic, military, intelligence—everything. And I want analysis of their weapons and equipment.”“High-end military gear like they were using doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Someone sold it to them, and that trail will lead us somewhere."
Chapter 426:
Lieutenant Alex, cradling his own injured arm against his chest, added his voice to the chorus. "General Carl Gerald, we've all lost people in the line of duty. It never gets easier. It never stops hurting. But Mrs. Juliet Marcus wouldn't want you blaming yourself for her choice.”“She wouldn't want you carrying this guilt when there are people out there who need to be brought to justice for what happened here today."General Carl Gerald remained hunched over Mrs. Juliet Marcus's body, his shoulders still shaking with grief. But slowly, very slowly, his sobs began to quiet. His breathing steadied, though his face remained wet with tears."I will never forget this," he said finally, his voice low and filled with steel beneath the sorrow. "I will never forget what she did for me. And I swear, on her grave, that the people responsible for this will pay. Every single one of them will pay with their lives."He stood slowly, his joints stiff, his movements those of a man who had aged years
Chapter 425:
General Carl Gerald walked slowly toward Mrs. Juliet Marcus's body, his steps heavy and deliberate, as if each one required tremendous effort.The chaos of the battle had subsided, replaced by an eerie quiet broken only by the crackling of burning vehicles and the distant wail of approaching sirens.He knelt beside her, his knees hitting the cold, hard ground with a dull thud. His hands trembled as he reached out, gently closing her eyes, which still stared unseeing at the gray morning sky. Blood had pooled beneath her head, staining the frozen earth dark red."Mrs Juliet Marcus," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion he rarely allowed himself to show. "Juliet, I'm so sorry. This should have been me. It should have been me lying here, not you."His shoulders began to shake, and then the dam broke. General Carl Gerald, the iron-willed commander who had faced countless battles without flinching, who had stared down crime lords and terrorists without blinking, began to weep. Deep
Chapter 424:
Mrs Juliet Marcus immediately burst from the mansion entrance, running with everything she had, her legs pumping, her breath coming in gasps, every ounce of her being focused on reaching him in time.The distance seemed infinite and yet passed in a heartbeat.She reached General Carl Gerald just as the sniper's finger tightened on the trigger.With a strength born of pure desperation and loyalty, Mrs. Juliet Marcus shoved General Carl Gerald with all her might, sending him sprawling to the ground behind a large marble headstone.The rifle immediately cracked.The bullet that had been meant for General Carl Gerald's head found a different target.Mrs. Juliet Marcus's head snapped back as the round struck her directly in the forehead. For a fraction of a second, her eyes met General Carl Gerald's, wide with shock and the knowledge of what had just happened.Then she collapsed, falling like a puppet with its strings cut. She was dead before she hit the ground."Mrs JULIET Marcus!" Genera

Chapter 423:Before anyone could respond, General Carl Gerald's voice came through the comms, calm and authoritative despite the underlying tension."All units, maintain maximum alert," he ordered. "Captain Luke, Lieutenant Alex, I want constant status updates from your positions. Any movement, any anomaly, I want to know about it immediately.""Copy that, General," Captain Luke's voice responded through the comm. "North perimeter is secure. Nothing on our sensors.""South perimeter clear," Lieutenant Alex reported. "All quiet here, sir."General Carl Gerald activated the direct line to the command center. "Sara, I know this feels wrong. It feels wrong to me too. But it's almost over. Ten more minutes and we're out of here. Just stay alert and trust our people."In the command center, Sara Gerald nodded even though her husband couldn't see her. "Be careful, Carl. Please be careful."At the graveside, the chaplain began his brief service, his voice carrying across the cold morning air.
Chapter 422:
The soldiers at the graveside immediately straightened immediately, their faces flushing with embarrassment as General Carl Gerald's sharp gaze fell upon them."Sir, we apologize for the delay," the lead soldier said, his voice tight with professional contrition. "The ground here is harder than we anticipated. Old roots from the trees, compacted earth. We've been working as fast as we can."General Carl Gerald's expression didn't soften, but he gave a curt nod. "I understand. Just get it done. We need those caskets in the ground within ten minutes. No more delays.""Yes, sir!" the soldiers responded in unison, immediately returning to their work with renewed urgency.General Carl Gerald turned away from the graves, his eyes scanning the perimeter one more time. Everything appeared secure. His people were in position. The drones overhead were maintaining their surveillance patterns. The sharpshooters on the mansion roof had clear sightlines across the entire estate.But something sti
