Chapter 211 Blood Debt, The Hunt, and Desperate Counterkill
“Don’t move.” Silla pressed hard against the wound with one hand, her fingers soaked in blood. For once, her voice shook. “Hold on. We’ll get you to a hospital right away.”“Sis… I’m scared… Am I gonna die…” Stacy’s breath came in ragged gasps. She tried to lift herself up, but her body would no longer obey her.A violent fit of coughing seized her, and a mouthful of hot blood splashed straight across Silla’s face.Stacy’s body went rigid all at once. Her limbs twitched briefly, then she fell completely still. Her eyes stayed wide open, her pupils fully dilated and empty.In just a few seconds, a living person was gone forever.The winding bloodstain across the tile froze this sudden massacre in place.Silla closed her eyes and held her breath for three seconds, suppressing the surging grief and bloodlust. She sprang to her feet. All tenderness vanished from her eyes, leaving only bone‑chilling ferocity. She grabbed her gun, bare feet stepping through the pools of blood, and hurried a
Chapter 210 Hotel Hell
The second Silla stumbled back into the room, she slammed the door shut behind her and braced her back hard against it, her movements sharp and decisive. She kicked off her high heels barefoot, quickly scanning the room’s layout to map out routes for attack and defense.The next instant, deafening kicks slammed against the door. The wood shook violently, and the lock cylinder buckled under the force.The gangsters outside rammed the door violently. Silla dodged sideways, flicking off the room lights in one clean motion. The guest room plunged into total darkness, only faint moonlight seeping in through the window.Out in the corridor, the leader lost all control. He pressed the gun firmly against Anthony’s temple and roared hysterically. “Where the hell is Kane? Tell me, or I’ll blow your brains out right now!”“He’s not in the hotel! He left the city!” Anthony shouted back, eyes blazing red.The gangsters no longer believed a word. Furious, one kicked Stacy hard in the stomach, malic
Chapter 209 Hotel Death Trap | Close-Quarters Counterkill & Corridor Gunfight
"My mom stayed up all night sewing clothes for others just to scrape together my tuition. She only earned twenty cents for each garment. My tuition, my future, were stitched together stitch by stitch by my mother, earned through backbreaking labor and endless hardship from my dad and brother out in the freezing cold!"Hartley fought back the moisture in his eyes, his tone resolute and unyielding. "That’s why I have to make something of myself. I’m not just carrying my own life on my shoulders — I carry my whole family’s hope for a better future. I can’t change where I was born, but I will change how my story ends.""Other people miss their hometown and cling to their roots. Not me. I made up my mind when I was a teenager: I had to get out of here, and take my whole family away from this barren land."Kane turned to look at the resilient young man beside him. He finally fully understood where that ruthless, driven fire inside Hartley came from.Born in despair, you either sink into rui
Chapter 208: Confessions on the Homecoming and Urban Lookouts
A rough, booming shout echoed from outside the yard, carrying the unvarnished grit of a mountain man. “You rascal, you finally remembered to come home?!”Hartley stood up at once and went out to greet him. “Dad, where’s big brother?”The middle-aged man wore a tattered heavy army coat, his face weathered and worn, his tone full of helplessness. “He can’t leave the greenhouse. Old Xu is breathing down his neck about the schedule. Buyers are coming this afternoon, so he’s not allowed to step away. Once I’ve built up enough clout someday, I’ll never put up with this humiliation working under him.”Hartley stepped forward and brushed snow off his father’s shoulder, speaking softly to comfort him. “Then quit if you want. Come inside and warm up.”The man bent over and coughed violently. Years of backbreaking manual labor had already wrecked his health. He lifted his eyes toward the house, curious. “I heard your supervisor is here too?”“Yeah, he’s sitting inside.”The man took off his heav
Chapter 207: Roots of Poverty
“It’s settled.” Kane lay back on the bed and confirmed the plan. “I’ll head back to your hometown with you tomorrow. Cham’s staying here to keep watch. We’ve got enough men, and the situation is stable. Nothing will go wrong. The rest of you can take care of shopping and resting.”“Alright.” Hartley nodded firmly.“Wash up and get some sleep.” Kane was worn out. He got up, rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower, then fell straight into bed and passed out.......The next morning, a knock came right on time.“Kane, you awake? Time for breakfast.” Cham’s voice called out.Kane woke up, rubbing his throbbing head, and replied. He checked the time and noticed Hartley was already out of the room.He lingered in bed for a minute, then got ready and headed to the hotel dining hall. Silla, Anthony and the others were already sitting and eating.“Where’s Hartley?” Cham looked up and asked.“He’s gone to pick up supplies for his family visit. Left early this morning.” Kane picked up an egg
Chapter 206: The Mind Game After Drinks
The atmosphere at the booth grew quieter. Charles leaned in toward the intoxicated Cruz and lowered his voice, getting straight to the point. "The alcohol’s hit. Can you still think clearly? What do you make of tonight’s gathering?"Cruz lifted his eyes, his gaze hazy with longing. "What, you got more plans for the night?""I’m not talking about partying." Charles shook his head, his tone turning heavier. "Sitting here, haven’t you felt how heavy this circle really is?"Cruz propped his throbbing forehead, breathing heavily. "All I feel is worn out. Drained right down to my bones."Charles stuck his hands in his pockets, stayed silent for a few seconds, then spoke slowly. "Guess whether Uncle Cole is tired?"That soft question froze Cruz in an instant, his mind going blank."He clawed his way up from the bottom, grinding step by step to become a senior police officer and win a seat as a councilor." Charles looked at the crowd moving about downstairs, his voice calm yet sharp. "All the
