The lights went off all of a sudden, throwing the entire multi-million-dollar medical wing into absolute darkness. The silence didn't last long. Almost instantly, the distant, muffled echoes of automatic gunfire began to ring through the massive estate.

The most alarming part was that the gunshots weren't fading—they were getting closer with each passing second, tearing through Jason's private security team with terrifying speed.

In the far corner of the room, Matthew was shivering violently. T

    The Third Phantom smiled, but the warmth never reached his eyes. He stepped into the room, his approach eerily silent. His footwork was so impossibly light and fluid that he appeared to glide across the concrete floor like a literal ghost. Slowly raising his already drawn sword, he angled the gleaming silver tip directly at the highly alert Seth.“Let’s not waste time. I know you won't go down without a fight,” the Third Phantom said, his smooth voice dropping to a lethal, determined whisper. “I only need one pill from you.”“Alina is way beyond saving. You would only be wasting a priceless pill if you use it on her,” Seth argued, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his jagged tactical knives in the dark. “The elixir is designed to rapidly regenerate physical trauma and open wounds. It does not treat cancer.”“There is no harm in trying,” the Third Phantom replied, his voice chillingly calm. “Besides, our duel serves a dual purpose today. Where is your Young Master? A client paid

  • chapter 38: Third phantom

    The Ghosts, as they were known in the deepest corners of the international underworld, were a shadow collective of elite Chinese assassin organizations whose terrifying signature move was to psychologically haunt their targets before executing them.The moment the lights cut out, Seth immediately recognized the tactical calling card. He knew exactly what was unfolding. That was precisely why he had moved with flawless speed to lock Jason inside the subterranean bunker.As for Matthew, he was nothing more than inevitable collateral damage. He was going to die the moment the Ghosts breached the perimeter anyway. But Seth couldn't afford to take the risk of Matthew screaming out the vault's hidden entry codes out of pure, unadulterated terror. To protect the Pike family's absolute secrecy, eliminating him was the only logical choice.Seth didn't harbor a single fear for Charlotte's safety down in the medical bay. The Ghosts were ruthless, but they were elite professionals bound by a stri

Through the faint, silver reflection of the moonlight piercing the high-security windows, Jason could see his former roommate curled up into a pathetic ball, completely paralyzed by fear.Seth never left Jason’s side. Even as the thunderous sounds of gunfire breached the lower levels of the villa, the legendary enforcer stood there like an unbreakable statue, his twin suppressed pistols already drawn, his sharp eyes cutting through the darkness to monitor every single entry point.“Young Master,

  • Anastasia 2

    "Whoever told me that story is absolutely none of your business, young lady," Gina smiled, her voice dripping with sheer condescension as she calmly yanked Anastasia’s trembling hand off the lapel of her suit. "Now, tell your men to stand down.""You heard her!" Anastasia barked, her voice echoing sharply across the frozen tundra.Instantly, the forty heavily armored mercenaries lowered their assault rifles in unison, the swarm of red laser sights vanishing from Gina's chest.Two miles away, the petite Russian sniper perched in the rusted watchtower lowered her high-powered rifle and pressed a gloved finger to the encrypted comms in her ear. "What is the current situation, ma’am? Should I proceed with the strike plan?""Stand down. There is a change of plans," Anastasia hissed into her hidden earpiece, her eyes locked in a death glare with Gina. "The brat has me in a complete stranglehold."Taking a deep, steadying breath, Anastasia forcefully reigned in her frantic emotions. She smoo

    “What is the meaning of this, Anastasia?” Gina asked, her tone laced with sharp impatience rather than fear. “You have a long history of trading with my grandfather. That history is the only reason we have extended this level of trust to you until today.”“But that history does not mean I can simply rely on you to provide me with these pills whenever I want them, Gina,” Anastasia replied, a cold, smooth smile stretching across her newly rejuvenated face. “You are starting to demand a ridiculous price, and I am beginning to suspect it will only get more absurd if this arrangement continues.”“What is ridiculous about the price?” Gina countered, her eyes narrowing as she stood her ground against the forty rifles aimed at her. “Do you have any idea how much it costs us to source the secondary materials? Do you know how many unsuccessful batches have to be completely destroyed before we can produce even one perfect yield?”Gina shook her head slowly, looking at the blonde boss with a sens

  • chapter 34: Gina's Mission

    Meanwhile…Moscow, Russia.In a frozen, desolate wasteland so far off the grid that the location didn't even exist on modern satellite maps, two heavily modified, blacked-out SUVs sat idling on a fractured road.A squad of men in heavy tactical armor stood in a tight defensive formation behind a solitary young woman.Even just from her silhouette, her striking, undeniable elegance commanded the frozen landscape. A long, dark braid cascaded over the shoulder of her immaculately tailored business suit, giving the deceptive impression of a standard corporate executive.But the ten massive mercenaries guarding her back—and the heavy, military-grade weaponry strapped to their chests—screamed otherwise.Two miles away, perched in the freezing wind at the top of a rusted, makeshift watchtower, a petite Russian woman watched the entire group in dead silence through the lens of a high-powered tactical scope."She’s at the contact site," the petite Russian woman whispered, clicking the encrypte
