2024-09-09 19:27:14The helicopter landed smoothly, and before the rotors had even stopped spinning, a man in a sharp black suit stepped out, his expression grim.
This was Kyle, James’s most trusted underling, a man who had served him loyally for years.
"Mr. Donovan," Kyle said, his voice steady despite the urgency of the situation. "We’ve located them. They’re at the Grandview Hotel, Room 1207."
James nodded, his jaw clenched tight. "Then let’s go," he ordered, wasting no time. The two men climbed into the helicopter, and within moments, they were airborne again, the city lights below them blurring into streaks of gold and silver.
The ride was silent, the only sound the rhythmic thrum of the helicopter blades. James’s mind raced, replaying the images and words from the video.
He couldn’t believe this was happening. Emily, the woman he had loved and trusted, was in a hotel room with another man. A man who was trying to take her away from him, to violate everything they had built together.
As the helicopter approached the hotel, Kyle handed James a small earpiece. "I’ve informed the team on the ground. They’re ready to support us, but this is your call, sir."
James slipped the earpiece in, nodding. "Good. I want this handled quickly and quietly. No one leaves that room until I’ve dealt with him."
The helicopter touched down on the hotel’s rooftop, and within seconds, James and Kyle were inside, moving swiftly through the corridors.
Hotel staff and guests alike stared in shock as they passed, the sight of a helicopter landing on the building’s roof drawing attention, but James didn’t care. He had only one goal in mind—reaching Room 1207.
James rushed down the hallway toward Room 1207, his footsteps echoed with urgency. Just as he neared the door, a group of waiters appeared, their faces filled with concern and confusion. One of them stepped forward, raising a hand to stop him.
"Sir, you can’t go in there!" the waiter exclaimed, trying to block James’s path. "This area is restricted—"
Before the waiter could finish, Kyle, who was right behind James, swiftly stepped forward. With a cold, authoritative gaze, he pulled out a badge and ID card from his jacket pocket. He held it up for the waiter to see, the emblem of a secret military department prominently displayed.
The waiter’s eyes widened as he recognized the symbol. His confident demeanor quickly crumbled, replaced by fear and nervousness.
He took a step back, his hands trembling slightly. "I… I didn’t realize… I’m so sorry, sir," the waiter stammered, his voice quivering. "I didn’t know who you were."
Kyle’s expression remained steely as he spoke. "You know now," he said firmly. "Step aside.”
James didn’t spare them a glance. His focus was entirely on the door to Room 1207. Without hesitation, he kicked it open, the door slamming against the wall with a deafening crash.
What he saw inside made his blood boil.
Emily was on the bed, her clothes torn and barely covering her body. She looked terrified, her eyes wide with fear as the man from the video loomed over her, his hands poised to violate her. The scene was sickening, and James felt a surge of rage so intense it nearly blinded him.
"You bastard!" James roared, charging forward. The man barely had time to react before James delivered a powerful kick to his side, sending him crashing into the wall.
The man groaned in pain, but James wasn’t done. He grabbed him by the collar, hauling him up and slamming him against the wall again.
"You think you can touch my wife and get away with it?!" James’s voice was filled with fury as he drew back his fist, ready to deliver another blow.
But before he could strike, Emily’s voice cut through the haze of anger. "James, stop!" she screamed, her voice desperate as she reached out and grabbed his arm. "Please, don’t do this!"
James froze, the shock of her words hitting him like a bucket of cold water. He turned to look at her, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Emily… what are you doing? He was about to…"
"I know!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. "But I can’t let you hurt him. Please, James, don’t do this."
The man, still dazed from the impact, managed to push himself up, a twisted smile curling on his lips as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"See, James," he sneered, his voice taunting. "She doesn’t want you to hurt me. Maybe she’s not so loyal after all."
James’s heart pounded in his chest, confusion and anger warring within him. "Emily… did you…? Did you cheat on me?" The words felt foreign in his mouth, as if he couldn’t believe he was asking them.
Emily’s silence was deafening. She looked away, unable to meet his gaze, and in that moment, James felt as though the ground had been ripped out from under him.
The woman he had loved, the woman he had planned to spend the rest of his life with, had betrayed him.
"Why, Emily?" James asked, his voice hollow, the fury that had driven him here beginning to fade, replaced by a deep, aching pain. "Why would you do this?"
Tears filled Emily’s eyes as she finally looked at him, her expression filled with regret and shame. "James… I didn’t mean for it to happen. It just…"
"It just what?" James interrupted, his voice rising with anger again. "You let him touch you? You let him take what was supposed to be ours alone?"

Now."Victor swallowed hard, his eyes darting between James and Kyle. "It... it wasn't personal," he stammered. "We were just following orders.""Whose orders?" James demanded, his patience wearing thin.Victor hesitated, fear evident in his eyes. "Mr. Zhao," he finally whispered. "The orders came from Mr. Zhao."James exchanged a glance with Kyle. They both knew the name - Wei Zhao, one of the most powerful and influential businessmen in the country."Why?" James pressed, his voice dangerously quiet.

Kyle snapped his brows together inside the car, feeling a crack of irritation by the sudden interruption. Just then, the doors to the black cars opened, and several armed men in black suits and shades, alighted steadily. They all swiftly turned to Rolls Royce car, cocking the guns in their hands. From the T logo on their chest pocket, it was obvious to James and the rest that the men were from the Tarlose family. " James Donovan! You have to face your fate for laying a hand on our boss!" The leader of the men, who was black skinned and standing at the middle, with a zig zag scar running across from his forehead to his chin, declared openly in a strong voice. He raised his gun and pointed it towards the back seat of the Rolls Royce, snarling, " It is your choice to surrender willingly or with force. Either way, we don't care!" Then, he marched forward. James' face turned cold as ice, and he lowered his eyes.Kyle snorted with disdain. " They already know your identity. They s

James knew he had been too eager and impatient earlier, leading him not verifying if the information was accurate or not...Staring at the unusual expression of James, Kyle didn't know what to say at first, scared of offending the god of war.

Kyle couldn't believe what he just heard, and his facial expression twisted. The warehouse was empty?! So does this means it was all planned?! Who would in the heavens and earth dare to fool the g

The stale air of the tunnel hung heavy as James led his team deeper into the darkness. Their flashlights cut narrow beams through the gloom, illuminating jagged walls and rusted support beams. Every step echoed ominously, the sound swallowed by the oppressive silence.Kael’s voice broke through the tension. “Does it feel like we’re walking straight into a trap, or is that just me?”“It’s not just you,” James replied, his voice low. “Stay sharp. Andre’s not leaving anything to chance.”Winter’s voice came through their earpieces. “You’re about fifty meters from the first checkpoint. Be ready—there’s no way he left this unguarded.”As they rounded a corner, a sudden click echoed beneath Kael’s boot. He froze, glancing down.“Trap,” Kael muttered.James stepped forward, crouching to examine the pressure plate beneath Kael’s foot. His jaw tightened as he assessed the mechanism.“It’s a fragmentation mine,” James said. “Don’t move.”Kael smirked despite the tension. “Wasn’t planning on it.

The newsroom buzzed with activity as Andre’s broadcast played across every major network.He stood before a sleek backdrop bearing the Syndicate’s emblem, his posture confident and his voice smooth.“Citizens of the world,” Andre began, his tone dripping with authority, “James Radcliffe, the so-called ‘hero,’ has been lying to you. He is no savior. He is a destroyer. And I have proof.”The screen shifted to show doctored footage of James, his voice and face manipulated to make it seem like he was planning a devastating attack on Emily’s company headquarters.Andre’s voice returned, grim and commanding.“Tomorrow, this tower will burn, and it will be Radcliffe’s doing. But don’t worry—I will be there to rebuild from the ashes.”At the Radcliffe estate, James stood in front of the television, his fists clenched.The footage looped, showing his manipulated image over and over again.“Turn it off,” he said, his voice low but filled with fury.Kael, holding the remote, complied.“He’s good

The icy mountain air cut through the silence as James and his team crouched in the shadow of a jagged ridge.The weapons cache loomed in the distance—a massive steel structure carved into the mountain’s rock face, its entrance heavily guarded by Syndicate forces.James’s voice broke the tense quiet, calm but firm.“Winter, status?”Winter’s voice crackled through his earpiece.“Security systems are standard Syndicate setup. Cameras, motion detectors, and probably a few surprises inside. I can loop the cameras, but you’ll need to move fast once you’re in.”Kael adjusted his rifle.“Standard Syndicate setup means more than just guards. They’ll have traps waiting for us, too.”“They always do,” James said, his eyes scanning the facility. “We stick to the plan. Infiltrate, disable the weapons, and get out.”Emily’s voice came through the comms, steady and supportive. “Be careful, James. We don’t know what surprises Andre left behind.”James’s jaw tightened. “We’ll handle it.”The team mov

The dimly lit cell felt colder than usual as James entered, the door clanging shut behind him. Zhao sat calmly on the cot, his legs crossed, a faint smirk on his face. The bruises from his capture had faded, but his arrogance remained intact.“Ah, Radcliffe,” Zhao said, his tone light and mocking. “Come to gloat? Or are you here to entertain me with more empty threats?”James’s expression didn’t waver as he pulled a chair across the room, the sound scraping against the concrete floor. He sat down directly in front of Zhao, his gaze unflinching.“This isn’t a game, Zhao,” James said, his voice low and cold. “Andre’s making moves, and I know you’ve been in contact with him.”Zhao chuckled, leaning back against the wall. “Andre? Ambitious, isn’t he? But unpredictable. He doesn’t listen like I did.”James slammed his hand on the table, the sound reverberating through the small space. “Enough with the theatrics. What’s his plan?”Zhao tilted his head, feigning innocence. “Even if I knew, w

The compound buzzed with energy as James outlined his plan, his voice steady and commanding despite the chaos outside.“We use their aggression against them,” James said, pointing at a map of the stronghold displayed on a monitor.“Andre thinks brute force will break us, but we’ll turn this into his worst nightmare. Set up traps in these choke points, and we’ll ambush them where they least expect it.”Kael nodded, his face grim but focused. “What about their heavy hitters? The Titan’s leading their frontline. He’s not exactly easy to miss.”James looked at Kael, his tone sharp. “You’ll take him. Keep him busy, and make sure he doesn’t disrupt the traps.”Kael smirked, adjusting the strap of his rifle. “You always give me the fun jobs.”Winter’s voice came through the comms. “I’ve breached their network. I can start feeding false intel, but it’ll only buy us so much time.”James nodded. “Do it. Confusion is our best weapon right now.”Emily, standing nearby, stepped forward. “And what

The first explosion ripped through the quiet morning, sending debris raining down on the outer wall of the stronghold.The alarms blared almost instantly, red lights flashing across the compound as James and Kael sprinted toward the command center.“They’re hitting us hard,” Kael said, adjusting his rifle as they ran. “They didn’t waste any time.”“They want to overwhelm us,” James replied, his voice steady. “But they don’t know what we’re capable of.”Winter’s voice crackled through their earpieces. “Andre’s forces are coming from three directions: the north, east, and west. They’re heavily armed, and they’ve got tech we haven’t seen before. We’re deploying countermeasures, but the outer defenses won’t hold for long.”“Then we make our stand inside,” James said. “Get everyone ready.”The compound shook as another explosion rocked the north wall. Kael barked orders to a group of defenders, his voice cutting through the chaos.“Set up suppressing fire here! Cover the entrance and don’t

Across multiple regions, its remaining leaders turned on one another, vying for dominance in the wake of Zhao’s capture.Meetings that were once coordinated with ruthless precision devolved into shouting matches and power struggles.Andre Velasquez, a charismatic but ruthless underboss from South America, sat at the head of one such gathering, his piercing gaze silencing the room.“Enough!” Andre barked, his voice commanding. “While you bicker like children, the Syndicate crumbles. Zhao’s arrest is a temporary setback—but only if we act decisively.”One of the other leaders, a grizzled man named Viktor, sneered. “And what’s your plan, Velasquez? To throw more bodies at Radcliffe and hope he doesn’t kill them all?”Andre smirked. “Not hope—strategy. Radcliffe isn’t invincible. His allies are his weakness. We crush them, and he’ll crumble under the weight of his own failures.”Another leader, a sharp-eyed woman named Leona, folded her arms. “You’re suggesting an all-out assault? That’ll

Zhao sat calmly in his reinforced chair, his wrists bound with steel restraints. His suit was wrinkled and stained from the days he’d spent in custody, but his eyes burned with defiance as he looked at James across the table.James stood with his arms crossed, his expression unreadable. “You’ve lost, Zhao. The Syndicate is crumbling. The world knows who you are, what you’ve done. It’s over.”Zhao smirked, leaning back against his chair as far as the restraints allowed. “Lost? You think locking me in a cage erases what I’ve built? My influence reaches far beyond these walls, Radcliffe. You’ve won a battle, not the war.”James’s eyes narrowed. “Then tell me about your loyalists. Who’s left? Where are they hiding?”Zhao laughed, the sound cold and sharp. “You really think I’d hand over my people? Even now, they’re working to rebuild. My Syndicate doesn’t die because you say it does.”In the adjacent room, Winter sat at a console, scanning through files pulled from Zhao’s private vault. T

The company, once under constant threat from Zhao’s Syndicate, now thrived in the wake of their victory. Emily stood at the window, watching her employees work with a renewed sense of purpose.“Reports from the third quarter are in,” her assistant said, handing her a folder. “Profits are up 40%, and the expansion projects are ahead of schedule.”Emily smiled, flipping through the report. “It’s amazing what people can achieve when they’re not looking over their shoulders every day.”Her assistant hesitated before speaking. “And... the gala next week? It’s being framed as a celebration of your leadership during the crisis.”Emily shook her head, her smile fading slightly. “This wasn’t just my victory. It belongs to everyone who stood with me—my team, my family.”From behind her, a familiar voice chimed in. “And you better not forget us little people.”Emily turned to see Kael standing in the doorway, his signature grin in place.“Kael,” Emily said warmly. “What brings you here?
