Chapter 20 Manhunt for Holt
Kane turned him down flat. He calmly laid out all the risks. This bloodbath was far more than a simple murder case — a tangled web of illegal profits sat behind it all. He had no powerful connections to fall back on. If he got dragged into this mess, everything he’d worked so hard to build would crumble to dust.Cruz didn’t get angry. Instead, he understood perfectly. He saw right through Kane’s cautious, ambitious nature, and sighed softly. Being overly rational, weighing every single gain and loss nonstop, wasn’t always a good thing.Holt’s fate was proof of what happens when you bottle everything up and never fight back for yourself.True loyalty can’t be calculated. Lifelong bonds only form when someone steps up to help you when you’re at rock bottom.“Everyone else runs away, but not me.” Cruz’s voice was rock solid. Even Cash had stood by his friends, and he’d never abandon Holt when he needed him most. With that, he turned and left, ready to shoulder every risk alone.Kane stoo
Chapter 19 Holt Invades Wade’s Territory Alone for Revenge
After hanging up the call, Holt’s eyes burned red as he dialed Cruz to confirm his sister had been abducted. Layer upon layer of schemes, exploitation, and humiliation inflicted on his family shattered the last line holding him back. He resolved to cast aside every rule and force Cruz to dig up every secret of the Wade clan. With nowhere left to run, he had staked everything he owned.Late that night, inside the standalone building at No.75 Century Avenue on Black Street, Kade — Wade’s blood uncle and the core figure of the Wade family — sat feasting on hot pot with two trusted lieutenants, daydreaming about the enormous profits from monopolizing the city’s entire drug market. They agreed on a seventy percent cut, planned to operate from the shadows, manipulate drug prices through official channels, and crush every rival completely.Midway through their drunken revelry, Holt, covered in wind-blown snow, silently climbed the stairs to the second floor.Spotting the unfamiliar intruder,
Chapter 18 Caught Cheating
Wade did not send any officers Holt knew. Instead, he arranged two unfamiliar burly men to drive Holt home.Inside the car parked in the alley, Holt told the two men to wait at the alley entrance. He walked two hundred metres alone to the small courtyard, pushed and pulled the door, only to find it bolted from the inside.Bella took ages to open the door, her clothes dishevelled. Holt skipped small talk and cut straight to the point: where was the black cloth bag Jett had passed to him.Bella’s eyes darted nervously as she stammered, claiming she had tossed the bag aside carelessly after taking the money and could not remember where it was. The bag held vital clues about their key supplier — his only bargaining chip to strike a deal with Wade and save his own life. The two tore the room apart searching for it, and in a panic, Bella lied that she had thrown the bag away entirely.Holt spun around sharply, just in time to see the cabinet door hanging open, with a naked figure frozen sti
Chapter 17 Jett Is Dead
Holt completely lost control of his emotions and roared with bloodshot eyes, “He’s my own brother—my full-blooded elder brother!”Kane froze rigid where he stood, every muscle locking up at once.“I held my fire during the raid not out of dereliction of duty, but because I couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger!” Holt gasped, spilling everything in a rapid rush. “If our blood relation comes out, I’ll be suspended immediately pending investigation, and I’ll lose every chance to break him free. My plan was to pull an all-night shift, forge logged attendance via the surveillance feeds, then ambush the transport convoy en route. Even if I failed, I’d leave no trace linking me to it!”Kane shot back coldly, “You froze up just from a face-to-face confrontation back there. How do you expect to stand your ground against a fully armed prisoner escort unit? This isn’t a rescue—it’s you throwing your entire future away.”Only bleak despair lingered in Holt’s gaze. “If I do nothing, I watch hi
Chapter 16 Apprehending Jett
“Hold your ground! Move in per the original plan!” Kane swiped the blood and grime from his face, his voice steady and icy. Voss’s right arm had been blown apart—raw flesh and splintered bone exposed—and he blacked out on the spot, rendered completely combat ineffective.At the horrific sight, Jett flew into a red-eyed rage and opened fire wildly. A hail of bullets slammed into Kane’s body armor, sending sparks flying, yet none managed to pierce the plating.Seizing the split second while Jett reloaded, Kane charged forward at full speed despite his heavy gear. He drove his shoulder hard into Jett’s jaw, using the momentum of his weight to hurl the man airborne before slamming him brutally into the snow.Gritting through searing exhaustion and pain, he pinned the suspect firmly to the ground. More than forty officers swarmed in from the perimeter, forming an impenetrable wall of riot shields, and the remaining gang members were neutralized within ten seconds.Seventy-pound irons were
Chapter 15 Blood Brothers
Kane stood up, saluted and acknowledged Wade’s words. Though he appeared deferential and obedient on the surface, cold unease swelled inside him. This exceptional promotion and deliberate flattery were never genuine admiration—merely a calculated move in the game of power.Deep into the night, inside Holt’s house.Jett bowed his head, gulping down bland plain noodle soup, guilt lingering in his rugged eyes. Once he finished eating quickly, he walked over to the window, pressed himself against the icy glass, and silently stared at their mother sleeping soundly inside the room.“How much worse has her illness gotten?” His voice came out hoarse.Holt replied in a low murmur. “She’s barely hanging on.”Jett fell quiet for a long time, then pulled out a thick stack of cash and held it out to Holt with an unyielding gesture that brooked no refusal.“Ten thousand US dollars. Eight thousand goes toward Mom’s medical treatment; use the rest to cover household costs.” His tone remained calm. “I
