Chapter 217 Hidden Lines Lurk
“I moved too hastily against Kane this time.” Axel was not too proud to reflect calmly. “There are people right here in Novara who want him dead. That means he’s stepped on multiple interests over there. I don’t need to strike first.”“Exactly.” The middle-aged man across from him nodded in agreement. “We can’t take him out out in the open. These folks live on the edge of a blade; they command a crew of desperate men who’ll risk their lives for money. If we corner them completely, the losses the group suffers won’t be worth it.”Axel nodded. “Fecundo just told me.” “The best way to deal with Kane is to quietly leverage official power.”“Donate five million to the Novara Police Department.”The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. “That’ll give Kane a world of trouble.”Axel pondered for a moment and rose slowly. “Tonight’s incident really shook me. We’ll put Kane on hold for now. I need to find out who in Novara wants him dead.”The middle-aged man let out a soft laugh. “You’re right. Someo
Chapter 216 The Divisive Plot and Put-On-Hold Blood Feud
“The intel is wrong.” Gage kept his voice dangerously low, heavy with gravity. “Fecundo keeps insisting the hotel ambush wasn’t Vault’s doing. My guy on the scene thinks he’s not lying.”“Call it off!” Kane spoke rapidly, barking the order. “Tell your men, do not touch Fecundo. Hold your positions and wait!”The call ended, and Kane finally pieced everything together.Someone had been pulling the strings from the shadows, tying Vault to the attack through Roger’s identity to spark a deadly fight between the two sides and reap the benefits.Without hesitation, Kane dialed Silla right away.“Alert everyone to halt all operations,” Kane said urgently and firmly. “Vault most likely wasn’t behind the hotel shooting. There’s more to this story. Wait for me to get back and go over everything.”“We’ve been fed a fabricated trail,” Kane summed up grimly. “Stand down first. Don’t open fire recklessly.”......He answered the call, and the bald boss’s unarguable command came through the speaker:
Chapter 215 Anonymous Tip
Fecundo frowned. “Two days of chaos and nothing to show for it. How am I supposed to report to Mr. Axel? Speed things up.”“Then we’ll have to go in hard.” The young man thought for a moment and lowered his voice. “We won’t pull out after it’s done. They’ll turn themselves in right away.”Fecundo asked, “Are the men you found reliable?”“Solid. Two seasoned gamblers who live in casinos, drowning in debt. I promised to wipe all their loans clean plus a payout once the job is finished. They’ll take the hit even if it means a hundred years behind bars.”Fecundo spoke calmly. “Tell them I guarantee no death penalty if they get the job done. The crime takes place in Vierra, and we still hold some sway here.”“Understood, Brother Fecundo.”Fecundo set down his teacup and stood. “That’s the plan. Get moving immediately. I’m heading back to the company to keep pushing the Bradford deal.”“The company wants to poach him?”Fecundo folded his hands behind his back. “That’s right. His team holds
Chapter 214 The Approaching Threat
The bald boss looked at him, his tone ruthless and unyielding. “Even if every man at Radiance Security falls, we have to settle this score. If twelve operatives aren’t enough, I’ll send another fifty reinforcements afterward. I want to find out if Axel is truly invincible!”......The night grew darker, and undercurrents surged violently.Silla walked over to Kane’s side. Her expression was calm, her words concise and firm. “My father told me to get everyone evacuated at once. You decide what comes next.”Late that night.Officers from the Vierra New District Precinct found Kane at the hospital and intended to take him back to the station for questioning. Kane refused on the spot. His reasoning was solid: the gunman Roger worked for Vault Pharmaceutical. If he stayed in police custody, he could get shot again at any moment.His concern held merit. The Novara Black Street Precinct had formally called the Vierra Police Department, requesting protective custody for two officers, Kane and
Chapter 213 Identity Confirmed, Cross-Border Vengeance Begins
Hanging up the call, Kane turned to Silla with a grave tone. “I’ll take full charge of Stacy’s funeral arrangements. But you all need to evacuate the hospital right now.”Silla stayed silent, waiting for him to go on.Kane quickly broke down the risks. “We don’t know who they work for, but they operate professionally. This is clearly a targeted hit.” “Local police will arrive soon. Your identities won’t hold up under scrutiny. Staying here will only put you in a worse spot, and everything will spiral out of control.”Silla lifted her eyes. Suppressed fury churned in her gaze, her voice sharp and rigid. “Even a cornered rabbit will fight back. My family has deep roots in the grey markets and security circles. We are not people to be pushed around. Dig all the way to the bottom. I have to find out who’s pulling the strings.”......Dask sat in front of his computer. He uploaded the photos and ran facial recognition on the internal police network. After three rounds of thorough screening
Chapter 212 Hospital Debrief
Silla’s magazine was also empty. She scanned her surroundings, grabbed the rusted shovel propped by the hotel’s back door, gripped it tight, and hurried after him.There was nowhere to retreat inside the deep, shadowy alley.The gang leader knew his leg wound would slow him down, making it impossible to outrun his pursuers. He pressed his side against the wall to hide, clutching his dagger and lying low in a blind spot, waiting to lure his hunters into the trap.Three seconds later, footsteps drew near.The leader burst out of hiding in a sudden rush, stabbing forward with the dagger. Every strike aimed to kill.Kane had anticipated the ambush. His left hand locked firmly around the man’s wrist, while his right leg slammed hard into his knee joint.*Crack!* The sickening sound of bone splitting cut through the air.The leader dropped to one knee, overwhelmed by searing pain, yet he still lashed out viciously. He switched the dagger to his other hand and drove the blade straight toward
