2024-09-09 19:30:53James turned slowly, standing tall despite the tension that coiled in his muscles. He wiped the blood from his knuckles on his sleeve, fixing the brother with a cold stare. "You Tarlose brother talk a lot, don’t you?"
The brother’s face twisted with fury, but before he could speak, James swung his leg up and kicked the man lying on the floor. The tortured man groaned in pain, curling up tighter, his cries echoing through the room.
“You bastard!” the brother spat, his fists clenching. “How dare you touch him!”
James didn’t flinch. His voice was calm, almost bored. “I've barely touched him. You want to know what happens when you mess with me?”
The brother’s face flushed red with anger. "Kill him!"
Victor stood back, watching, confusion etched on his face. He hadn’t expected this. “What the hell are you doing?!” he shouted at his men. “He’s just some poor man! Take him down!”
James smirked, knocking another guard to the ground. “Poor man? I’m giving your guys a free lesson.”
Victor sneered, waving another batch of guards forward. “You’re a nobody! Some lowlife who got lucky. You really think you can take on trained professionals? You don’t stand a chance!”
James landed a solid punch, sending another guard sprawling. “Doesn’t matter how many of them there are. You’re running out of guys, Victor.”
Victor's eyes narrowed, clearly rattled. “You’re a dead man, Donovan. I’ll crush you.”
James smirked again, wiping sweat from his brow. “You’ve been saying that for a while now. Maybe it’s time to stop talking and do something.”
Victor’s confidence wavered, frustration growing as he realized James wasn’t the easy target he had thought.
Two more guards came at him, but James moved with lethal precision. He ducked under a punch, grabbed one guard by the collar, and slammed him headfirst into the wall. The second guard swung wildly, but James blocked the blow, delivering a brutal knee strike to his gut. The man doubled over, gasping for air.
The brother watched, eyes wide in disbelief as his men fell one by one. “What the hell are you doing?!” he shouted. “Take him down!”
More guards charged, and James felt the burn in his muscles as he took them on. But there were too many. He landed punches and kicks, dropping one guard after another, but the numbers started to overwhelm him.
The room went still. All eyes turned to the door, where Kyle stood, arms casually crossed, a confident smirk playing on his lips. Behind him, a group of sharply dressed men entered, exuding power and authority. But it was the man at the front of the group, with his commanding presence, who grabbed everyone's attention—the President of Raynder Company.
Victor’s smirk faltered, his face quickly morphing from arrogance to confusion. “Mr.Kyle? What… what are you doing here?”
Kyle took a step forward, the smirk never leaving his face. “Surprised to see me, Victor?” he asked casually, his tone mocking. “It’s been a while since we’ve crossed paths.”
Victor’s face drained of color as he processed what he was seeing. “Sir..why are you here?”
Kyle chuckled and moved closer, his eyes cold. “How dare you to offend, our Boss.”
Victor staggered back a step, his expression turning to fear. He glanced at his guards, who were starting to look uneasy themselves. “No… no, this can’t be happening,” he muttered, his voice trembling. “You—Kyle Raynder? And James… he’s…?”
Kyle’s grin widened, his eyes glinting with amusement. “James Donovan isn’t just some guy. He’s the God of War, and you’ve made a massive mistake messing with him—and with me.”
Victor’s eyes widened in shock, his mind racing. “No… no… Him? The God of War? But he’s just—”
Kyle’s expression darkened. “Just ordinary man? No. He’s the one man you never should have crossed.”
The guards, sensing the gravity of the situation, began to lower their weapons. They exchanged nervous glances, clearly unsure of their next move.
Victor, frozen in fear, took another step back. His mind reeled as he tried to make sense of what was happening. “No…No…its not true…”
James, now free and standing tall, wiped the blood from his lip. His icy gaze locked onto Victor. “You wanted a fight, didn’t you?”
Victor opened his mouth, trying to speak, but before he could get a word out, James stepped forward and threw a powerful punch, landing squarely on Victor’s jaw. Victor crumpled to the floor, groaning in pain, barely conscious.
The room went silent again. The guards slowly backed away from James, realizing they were in way over their heads.
Victor’s eyes darted between Kyle and James, terror filling his face. “Please… please don’t kill me. I’ll tell you everything! I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
James turned slowly, his eyes dark and unreadable. In one swift motion, he grabbed Victor by the collar, pulling him to his feet with ease. Victor gasped, his legs shaking as he was forced to face James’s icy stare.
“Why did you kidnap my daughter?” James growled, his voice low and dangerous. “How dare you lay a hand on her?”
Victor whimpered, his body trembling. “I… I didn’t know she was your daughter! I was just following orders. Please… I’ll tell you everything. Just… just spare me. Don’t kill me. Please.”
James’s grip tightened on Victor’s collar, his knuckles white. “You should’ve thought about that before you made her a target.”
Victor nodded frantically, his voice barely a whisper. “I’ll tell you the truth. It was all about the heart transplant… I had no choice. Please… please don’t kill me.”
Kyle stepped closer, his voice cold. “You don’t deserve mercy, Victor. But start talking, and maybe James will decide how much longer you’ll be breathing.”
Victor’s face twisted in panic as he desperately tried to plead for his life. James, his fury barely contained, slowly released his grip, pushing Victor back against the wall.
“You’ve lost, Victor,” James said, his voice a deadly whisper. “Don’t make it worse for yourself.”
Victor, his legs barely supporting him, could only groan in response, too terrified to speak as James and Kyle turned and walked out of the room.

James Donovan stood over Victor, his eyes cold as steel. The once-arrogant man now cowered before him, all bravado stripped away. James's voice was low, barely containing his fury. "Start talking. 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.

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

Accurately calculating the time of the hit, he shifted from the spot with his super human reflexes! He wasn't called the God of war for nothing. Protecting the borders, country and fighting for many years, had equipped him with everything he needs. In fact, he had encountered different kinds of guns, and snipers were just peasant to him.

Upon hearing the unexpected news, Kyle’s hard expression withered away like the dry leaves in summer time, making his face to drop down drastically. ‘’ What are you saying?! This is not a time for jokes!’’ He yelled at the comrade on the other end of the call, who informed him of the sudden news, a hint of anxiousness dripping in his voice.‘’ Captain Kael! Miss Emily is indeed missing!’’ Thud!As the words sank in, Kael’s heart almost skipped a beat, feeling a numbness spreading through his chest,How can she be missing? Lowering his head, his mind raced to the events earlier. He could still recalled he had handed Emily over to John, one of the soldiers he personally trusted. And this was because John had been with him all these years in battle, through thick and thin. He thought Emily would be protected while they were away. ‘’Where’s John?’’ He demanded immediately, clenching his jaws as he gradually simmered in rage.John was dancing with death! ‘’ John?

He slammed her against the car door furiously and released his grip from her jaw but hit her face once again, this time more harder!" Haa!"

She couldn't imagine the years of John, holding several arms, and now using his strong hand to hit her!

" You want me to show you that your daughter is safe?" John repeated, furrowing his brows tightly.." Is that even a reasonable request?!" Emily inhaled sharply, raising her hand to wipe away the blood from her nose. " Anything that involves my daughter is reasonable," retorting, she lowered her eyelids that trembled. A huff echoed from John, but he coincided anyway. " Fine. I will grant you your wish." Then, he took out his phone and scrolled casually. After some seconds, he turned the phone screen towards Emily, which displayed a video, and he tapped on the play button immediately. " See for yourself." Emily lifted her eyes, her face crumbling like a used tissue. In that instant, tears lurked around the corner of her eyes as she watched the video of her daughter, tied to an hospital bed, appearing lifeless and immobile.

The drive back to the Radcliffe estate was quiet.The weight of recent events lingered in the air, but for the first time in months, there was a sense of closure.James glanced at Emily in the passenger seat, her head resting against the window as she watched the trees blur past.In the backseat, Sarah was fast asleep, her small face finally free of worry.“This feels strange,” Emily said softly, breaking the silence.James glanced at her. “What does?”“Coming home. No Syndicate. No immediate danger. Just... life waiting for us.”James nodded, his grip on the wheel tightening slightly.“It’s what we’ve been fighting for.”Emily turned to him, a small smile on her lips.“I just hope we remember how to live it.”Later that evening, the team gathered at the estate’s main hall for what felt like the first peaceful meal in years.The atmosphere was warm, but there was an underlying current of finality.Kael raised his glass, smirking.“So, this is it, huh? No more bunkers, no more ambushes

Winter’s fingers flew over her keyboard, her screen filled with data streams and encrypted files.The room was dimly lit, the glow of monitors casting sharp shadows on her focused expression.James stood behind her, his arms crossed, tension radiating from him.“You’re sure about this?” James asked, his voice low but firm.Winter nodded, not taking her eyes off the screen.“Positive. These files weren’t just buried—they were hidden in layers of false leads. Whoever did this wanted to make sure no one found them, not even Zhao.”Kael leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.“And yet, here we are. What exactly are we looking at?”Winter tapped a key, bringing up a series of interconnected names, companies, and shell organizations.“The Syndicate isn’t just regrouping—they’re rebranding. New names, new players, same game.”James’s jaw tightened. “Led by who?”“That’s the kicker,” Winter said, spinning her chair to face them.“These files mention leadership figures Zhao didn’t even know

The black SUV pulled into the secluded driveway of the secure facility, surrounded by towering walls and layers of surveillance.James stepped out first, scanning the area with a soldier’s precision.Behind him, Emily and Sarah emerged, their expressions a mix of weariness and unease.“This isn’t a home,” Emily said quietly, her arms crossed as she glanced at the cold, gray building.James turned to her, his voice calm but firm.“It’s not supposed to be. It’s safe.”Emily sighed, the weight of the past few days evident in her posture.“Safe, James, but not sustainable. We can’t keep uprooting our lives like this.”James met her gaze.“It’s temporary. Just until we figure out our next move.”Inside, the facility was stark but functional. Sarah clung to Emily’s hand, her eyes darting around the unfamiliar surroundings.“Is this where we’re going to live now?” Sarah asked softly, her voice tinged with worry.Emily knelt to her daughter’s level, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“J

The strike team moved with precision, navigating the dense jungle that surrounded the suspected Shadow Council hideout.Winter’s voice came through the comms, calm but focused.“You’re two clicks out,” she said.“The perimeter scans show minimal activity. If they’re there, they’re keeping a low profile.”James adjusted his headset, his eyes scanning the terrain.“Understood. Stay on the sensors. If anything moves, I want to know.”Kael, walking just behind him, let out a low whistle.“Too quiet. I don’t like it.”James nodded.“Neither do I.”The team reached the entrance to the bunker, its steel doors partially concealed by overgrown vines.Kael moved forward, placing a charge on the lock.“Ready to breach,” he said.James gave a quick nod.“Do it.”The explosion was sharp and contained, the doors swinging open to reveal a dimly lit corridor. The team entered cautiously, their weapons raised.Winter’s voice came through again.“You’re in. Be careful—this layout is identical to some o

Winter’s workstation hummed with activity as lines of code scrolled across her screen.She leaned forward, her brow furrowed in concentration.On a nearby table lay the charred piece of paper Kael had recovered from The Widow’s lair.It was encoded, a complex cipher that had taken days to crack.Kael leaned against the wall, watching her work.“You’ve been at this for hours, Winter. Got anything?”Winter sighed, her fingers pausing over the keyboard.“Almost. Whoever wrote this wanted to make sure it stayed hidden. But they underestimated me.”James entered the room, his expression sharp.“What’s the status?”Winter pointed to the screen.“I’ve almost got it. The code is... odd. It’s deliberate, but there’s something about it that feels personal, like whoever wrote it wanted us to find it.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“Personal? From the Syndicate? Doesn’t exactly sound like their style.”Winter’s screen dinged softly, and she sat back, a faint smile of triumph crossing her face.“Got it.
CHAPTER 251
The boardroom was uncomfortably quiet as Emily entered, her heels clicking against the polished floor.The tension in the air was palpable, the kind of silence that only came before a storm.She set her tablet down on the conference table and looked around at the gathered board members.Many avoided her gaze, their expressions carefully neutral.Others met her eyes with a mix of defiance and unease.“Thank you all for coming,” Emily began, her tone sharp but calm.“I’m aware there have been... concerns about the direction of this company in the wake of recent events.”A man at the far end of the table, Greg Thornton, cleared his throat. He was one of the company’s longest-serving board members and had always been vocal about his disapproval of Emily’s leadership.“Concerns is putting it mildly, Mrs. Radcliffe. Some of us are wondering if your methods are jeopardizing this company’s future.”Emily raised an eyebrow.“Jeopardizing? Or exposing inconvenient truths?”The room shifted unea

The interrogation room was colder than usual, or perhaps it just felt that way.Zhao sat at the table, handcuffed, his posture relaxed despite the weight of his situation.His smirk was firmly in place, as if he were the one holding all the cards.James entered, his footsteps deliberate and echoing in the silence.He placed a folder on the table, its contents thick with evidence of Zhao’s crimes.Without sitting, he leaned on the table, his eyes locked on Zhao.“This is your last chance,” James said, his tone sharp.“Who’s still out there? Who’s pulling the strings now that you’re finished?”Zhao chuckled softly, shaking his head.“Finished? My dear Radcliffe, you give yourself too much credit. You’ve barely scratched the surface.”James’s jaw tightened, but his voice remained steady.“You’re alone. The Syndicate is in ruins. You have nothing left.”Zhao leaned forward slightly, his smirk widening.“Nothing left? Oh, James. You’ve only pruned the tree, not uprooted it. The roots are s
CHAPTER 249
The headquarters was quieter than usual, but the weight of what they’d accomplished hung heavy in the air.James stood in the main briefing room, surrounded by his team, while Winter sat at her station, typing furiously.Screens around her displayed reams of data—records, account numbers, and connections all tied to the Syndicate.Kael leaned against the wall, arms crossed.“That’s it, then? We’re done?”Winter didn’t look up from her screen.“Not yet. The Widow’s fall gave us access to a treasure trove of intel, but there’s a lot to sort through. Sleeper agents, hidden funds, collaborators—we need to root out every last one.”James nodded, his expression grim.“Every loose end tied up. No one slips through.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“You think that’s even possible? The Syndicate had its claws in everything.”James’s voice was steady. “We don’t stop until it’s done.”In another part of the building, Emily stood in front of a mirror, adjusting her blazer.She was minutes away from addre
