    The Monster Has Been ReleasedA suffocating silence filled the living room after Ross delivered the news. Even the air itself seemed to grow heavier as everyone slowly processed the meaning behind those words. Samantha’s expression immediately tightened while Laura’s face darkened visibly. Thomas looked confused at first, but the reactions around him quickly made him realize how serious the situation truly was.Brian’s eyes narrowed dangerously.“How many guards?”Ross looked down briefly before answering.“Six.”Samantha inhaled sharply.“All dead?”Ross nodded slowly.“They were executed professionally.”The atmosphere instantly became colder.Because everyone understood what that meant.This wasn’t a random escape.It was planned.Carefully planned.Brian’s expression remained calm, but the terrifying stillness around him had returned. Samantha had already started recognizing that silence. It was the same silence he carried moments before violence erupted outside earlier tonight.R

    The Letter That Changed EverythingThe violent explosion outside the estate shook the entire mansion so hard that several glasses on the table shattered instantly. Samantha instinctively grabbed the couch beside her to steady herself while Brenda screamed in panic. The security alarms around the mansion immediately activated again, filling the estate with flashing red emergency lights as hurried footsteps echoed outside the building.Ross’s expression darkened instantly.“What the hell was that?”Before anyone could respond, another guard rushed into the living room, breathing heavily.“Mr. Maxwell! The eastern perimeter was hit!”Ross immediately moved toward him.“How many attackers?”“We don’t know yet! The cameras near the east wall were destroyed!Brian remained unusually calm despite the chaos erupting around the mansion again. His eyes shifted briefly toward the sealed envelope resting on the table before returning toward Ross.“Lock down the estate.”“Yes, sir.”Ross immediate

    The Messenger from the Maxwell FamilyThe atmosphere inside the mansion became strangely heavy after the guard delivered his message. The living room, which had already been tense after the attack outside, now felt even quieter as everyone slowly processed what they had just heard. Even the estate staff standing nearby unconsciously lowered their heads and moved more carefully, as if the mere mention of the Maxwell family carried pressure on its own. Samantha immediately noticed the slight change in Brian’s expression. It was subtle, almost impossible to catch unless someone was paying very close attention, but she saw it clearly. His face remained calm, yet his eyes had turned colder.Ross stepped forward first, his voice cautious.“Who is it?”The guard straightened slightly.“He refused to give his name, sir.”Brian remained silent for a brief moment before asking another question.“Did he come alone?”“Yes, Mr. Maxwell.”Ross frowned immediately.“That’s reckless.”Brian finally

    The Man the Shadows FearThe mountain road remained covered in silence long after Victor Kane’s convoy disappeared into the darkness. The smell of gunpowder still lingered heavily in the cold night air while flashing security lights reflected against the damaged vehicles scattered across the battlefield. Bodies lay motionless across the road, some groaning faintly while others would never move again. Estate guards immediately began securing the area, checking the wounded, and collecting weapons left behind by the mercenaries.But no one approached Brian immediately.Not even Ross.Because the atmosphere around him had changed completely.He stood there beneath the estate lights, his black shirt stained with blood that wasn’t his, his expression calm despite the destruction surrounding him. There was no satisfaction in his eyes. No excitement. Only cold stillness.Samantha slowly walked forward before anyone could stop her.“Miss Samantha”Ross tried to speak, but she ignored him.Her

    One Man Against Them AllThe mountain road erupted into chaos the instant gunfire exploded through the night. Muzzle flashes lit up the darkness continuously while the deafening roar of automatic weapons echoed against the surrounding hills. Samantha screamed instinctively as Ross immediately pulled her and the others behind the reinforced vehicles near the estate entrance.“Get down!”Several guards returned fire from the estate walls while others rushed to defensive positions around the gate. Bullets tore across the pavement violently, shattering pieces of concrete and sending sparks flying into the air.But amidst all the chaosBrian kept walking forward.Completely calm.Completely fearless.Victor’s smile slowly faded as he watched Brian advance directly into a storm of bullets without hesitation.“Interesting…”One of the gunmen fired repeatedly toward Brian’s chest, but Brian suddenly twisted sideways with explosive speed, narrowly avoiding the shots before grabbing the attack

  • CHAPTER 168

    Surrounded by WolvesThe atmosphere outside the mansion instantly became suffocating as the distant sound of engines echoed louder through the mountain road. The once peaceful estate now felt like a battlefield waiting to erupt at any second. Armed guards immediately moved into position around the property while communication devices crackled nonstop with tense voices relaying updates from different checkpoints.Ross’s face darkened as he stepped closer to Brian.“Mr. Maxwell, should we activate the inner defense perimeter?”Brian’s eyes remained fixed toward the gates far ahead.“Yes.”Ross immediately turned toward the security team.“Activate everything.”Within seconds, movement spread across the estate. Hidden floodlights around the property suddenly illuminated the surrounding grounds while steel barricades slowly rose near the entrance gates. Several guards armed with rifles quickly took sniper positions around the mansion's rooftops.The Madison family watched all of this in s
