Chapter 58 The Truth Behind the Counterfeit Drug Case Comes to Light
Pope curled up with his hands over his head, trembling and unable to utter a single word."Drag him into the alley and get him in the vehicle," Dusk barked sharply with crisp, decisive movements.Elsewhere, Orion slouched on the sofa inside his residence and confirmed grimly into his phone. "Brock from Firmament Pharmaceuticals has agreed to the meeting?"Early the next morning, ten hours after Pope was taken into custody.Dusk scarfed down a hasty breakfast before hitting the road and dialed Kane’s number."We’ve sealed off all loose clues and rounded up peripheral associates. Now we can move against Hawke. I’ll conduct isolated interrogations personally to guarantee zero information leaks.""Today is Boone’s funeral, and Hawke will definitely show up," Dusk asked for instructions. "Shall we take him down on the spot?"Kane’s tone was clipped, edged with icy killing intent. "Do it. Keep yourselves safe.""Copy that."Novara, Boone’s funeral service.The ceremony was lavishly grand.

Chapter 57 The Underworld Is Nothing But a Gamble
"Heading somewhere far away?" Kane frowned and pressed him for an answer."I picked up a long-distance job," Gage brushed it off with a faint smile.Kane tried to persuade him to stay. "Stick around and run the drug trafficking ring with us. It’s far steadier than drifting from place to place out there."Gage waved his hands firmly to turn the offer down. "I can’t stand living under other people’s thumbs, hemmed in by rules and orders. The wilderness is full of opportunities, and it’s where I truly belong."Knowing Gage’s stubborn temperament well, Kane dropped the subject. "When do you leave?""Right now."Kane looked taken aback. "That soon?""There’s nothing left for me to clean up here. Hanging around would just be a waste of time." Gage pushed himself to his feet. "Focus on healing your wounds and keeping this partnership intact."Right as he finished speaking, Cruz pushed the door open and walked in."I’ve cooked up some food. Care for a drink together before you go?""Can’t. I’
Chapter 56 Fateful Choices, Estranged Brothers
"Ma'am, Milo." Ford the Bald Man’s voice came out hoarse, his whole body throbbing with aches. "My health has fallen to pieces, otherwise I would have come to your door long ago."Boone’s wife’s eyes welled up with tears the moment she stepped inside, muffling her sobs. "Boone is gone. What are my boy and I supposed to do to get by from now on?"Young Milo clutched the hem of Ford the Bald Man’s coat, whimpering through his tears."Come inside quickly. Do not break down out here by the doorway." Ford the Bald Man forced the door shut and comforted them for a long while before their weeping slowly died down.Guilt weighed heavy on his heart. "Ma'am, this is my fault. I should have stopped him back then."Boone’s wife wiped away her tears, her gaze sharp yet worn out. "Ford the Bald Man, I will not hide anything from you. As long as Boone was alive, he kept all the rival factions and his various lovers under control. Now that he is dead, all these tangled personal connections will inevi
Chapter 55 Shadow Power Struggles, The Return of a Cornered Man
A suited subordinate hurried over to make a report. The attendants who had followed Jax were locked in the basement of the military training ground, and their statements confirmed Duke committed the murder."Are military personnel shielding Duke in secret?""The attendants know nothing about it. Whoever helped him erased all traces of assistance, leaving us no grounds to hold the garrison accountable.""Killing Duke alone will never be enough." Murder flickered in Axel’s eyes. "Shift full culpability for this case onto his nephew and wipe out the whole lot of them in one sweep."The subordinate had just dialed the garrison’s contact number when his face paled sharply and he rushed back inside."Officers from the precinct have arrived. They’re taking Duke and Rich into custody for questioning over the plaza shooting."Axel clenched his fists tight, veins bulging prominently beneath his skin."Cole from Novara is pulling the strings behind this. He’s curried favor with senior officials
Chapter 54 Discovery of the Corpse
On the gentle slope, Ford the Bald Man sprinted forward frantically, dropping to his knees in the snow to prop up Boone who lay soaked in blood. Boone’s eyes were squeezed shut, blood gushing heavily from his chest with only the faintest breath left in his body.“Useless trash!” Ford the Bald Man flew into a rage and kicked one of his underlings to the ground. “How could you fail to stop him even in point-blank gunfights?”The fallen subordinate stammered out an excuse. “He never dodged the bullets at all. He repositioned and set up his firing stance mid-fight with totally unscrupulous tactics—we simply couldn’t keep up.”Suppressing his panic, Ford the Bald Man barked out a decisive order. “Move everyone to the garrison hospital at once, move fast! Get Axel to clear a passage for us!”None of the men had the will to keep fighting. They scrambled to evacuate in a hurry, paying no mind to captured Duke or the missing Jax whatsoever.Inside the vehicle, Ford the Bald Man dialed Axel’s n
Chapter 53: Deadly Strike in the Snow, Oaths to Seal the Stalemate
Inside the vehicle, Gage gripped his walkie-talkie and listened to the steady stream of gunfire echoing across the area, barking out a cold order. "Maintain full radio silence for all units. Lock onto the firefight at the foothills on our five o’clock. Hostiles are nothing more than untrained street thugs. Flank their position and wipe them out entirely."The vehicles cut their headlights and crept forward along the roadside, sneaking closer to the battlefield.Boone’s men bolted out of the alley mouth in hot pursuit and immediately opened fire upward. Cruz fled in blind panic, lost his footing and crashed heavily onto the frozen ground. Kane spun back, reached out to haul him up while shielding his body sideways from incoming rounds.A burst of automatic gunfire tore through the air. Another bullet slammed into Kane’s already wounded back, blood soaking through his jacket in an instant and leaving half his body numb and unresponsive."Kane!" Cruz roared as he scrambled upright.Gage
