2024-09-15 22:45:13Upon 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? After we left the border, we haven’t seen him till now,’’ a heartbreaking response floated out instantly, and the atmosphere froze!Without thinking, Kael hung the call, swaying slightly. At this moment, his face faded from his usual color, leaving his skin pale, and his composure faltered. No! It can’t be!He had never thought the person he helped many times would betrayed him out of the blue, without even suspecting anything. This is hell!It was at this moment, he felt an immense pressure creeping unto his body, which made all the hairs on his body to stand on end, but of course, he knew where the pressure was coming from. James, who was impatient to have all informations about how his daughter had been kidnapped, wasn't expecting to hear something like this!How can there be two trouble at the same time?! His eyes hardened as rock, turning incredibly dark, and a muscle in face twitched. " Did I entrust you to keep her safe, only for you to disappoint me?" He demanded from Kyle who was about to lose his balance, any moment from now. Kyle's head dropped downward, his chin hitting his chest, while the weight of his failure settled in his heart. Crestfallen, he slapped his hands together and breathed out nervously, " My lord, I was deceived and betrayed. It's all my fault, and I will take all the blame. I have no excuse." Thud!Within a blink of an eye, he crashed his knees on the ground and quickly kow kow, snacking his forehead against the pavement. An annoyed scoff escaped from James' lips, and he shifted his gaze away from Kyle. This was the time to save his daughter before it was too late. Time was really their enemy now, but another trouble just surfaced. With a surge of frustration, James' jaws clenched, but he suppressed the immense pressure coming from him. " Is the tracker still on her?" Kyle swiftly snapped his head upward, his face brightening! " Yes," he nodded actively, straightening himself. How could he forgot about the tracker he had installed before leaving Emily in the room. " Track her down!" James ordered, his voice dripping with an undeniable authority. He took out his phone and made a call to the president of the country, which was answered within a second, " President Richard, I want to make a request as the god of war. Pause all activities entirely in every hospitals present in the city!" " As you wish, General." The president immediately coincided, out of respect, and the call quickly came to an end. Then, he proceeded to walk away from the information center, saying, " We don't have much time." Yes, he loved his daughter and would sacrificed anything for her, but Emily was also important, meaning the world to him. He had to save the easier one first, while reserving his full energy for his daughter's case. *** The car bumped over small particles of rocks on the dusty road, shaking the people inside. However, the driver didn't stop driving. Emily, who sat quietly at the back seat with pursed lips, roamed her eyes across the car. The car gave out a shabby view with worn out seat, cracked side mirrors , and a dry weird smell. Her nose crinkled, taking in more of the unpleasant smell. She coughed out a bit, frowning but said nothing. At this moment, she noticed the car was approaching a forest from the wing mirror, which was quite odd. Glancing at the person in the driver seat, who was the soldier from earlier, she questioned with uncertainty, " Aren't we heading to meet my daughter and husband? Why are we approaching the forest?"'" This is what I was instructed to do. Captain Kael told me this is the safest route to take, in order to avoid the enemies coming after us," the soldier responded in a witty manner, focusing on the drive. He was none other John, Kael's most trusted friend. " Oh." Emily withdrew her gaze and nodded slowly. Although, the answer was convincing, but for a strange reason, she couldn't shake off the suspicion in her heart. " Is everything okay?" John narrowed his eyes at the rear seat mirror, watching Emily's expression.." Do you need something to eat? There's still a long journey ahead. You might want to take a rest." He offered, curling his lips. However, Emily was too alert to agree with all that. Calmly, she refused, shaking her hands, " No, I am okay. You don't have to bother." Although, her tone was trembling subtly, she still managed to maintain a relaxed image to the soldier. It would be bad to reveal her panic to John, especially since she had no idea about his motive. Despite her pretense, John saw through her. Creak! He pressed his leg on the brake, putting the car to an halt by a corner. Getting out of the car, he strolled to the back seat, opening the car door and stepped in. He sat close to Emily, facing her with an obscene expression and ran his tongue over his teeth. This made Emily's face to pale, shifting slightly away from him, without looking at the man. " Why don't I have a taste of you instead? I mean it's not fair to take a beauty away without feeling her, right?" John leaned closer to Emily, his eyes latching on her chest, and he licked his lower lip subconsciously. This look depicted one of a hungry man, who couldn't be stopped. " Shameless!" Emily unexpectedly spat at John, contorting her delicate face with disgust! " I won't let you have your way on me!" Now, she knew the man was a bad person, and her instinct wasn't wrong. Pah! A stinging sensation slashed across her face, overwhelming her, and her face instantly became crimson! " Who do you think you are?!" John's hand gripped Emily's jaws, his fingers digging into her skin like he wanted to crush her bone! " You will do everything I tell you to do!" He ordered her shamelessly, " Strip!"

Warning: This chapter might contain some violence and abuse.However, Emily defied his order, glaring at him with a strong determination not to yield to him, while wincing silently in pain. This immediately infuriate John, making him to gnash his teeth! He couldn't believe Emily would choose over getting hurt than begging him or giving him her body! " You foolish bitch!" 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!" A jolt of sharp pain that electrified Emily's whole body, made her paralysed for some seconds, her eyes gradually becoming red. She couldn't imagine the years of John, holding several arms, and now using his strong hand to hit her! In the moment of pain and discomfort, she felt a crack in her right jaw, coupled with a metallic taste. This crumbled her, wordless with unexplainable pain." Still stubborn?!" John sneered at her. Seeing Emily succumbing to the pain, a sense

" 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. " My baby," she cried out without control, shaking her head. This shattered her heart into a million pieces. No loving mother would want to see her child

Emily, who was already trembling, with her face turning ashen, was stunned when she didn't feel any movement around her. " Huh?" Shifting a little bit, she lowered her head but was met with a different surprise! " Haahhh!" The sight of John rooted in one single place, with his neck sprouting out blood and deep crimson lines filling his eye balls, terrified her to the core! It felt as if she was under a cold corpse! Without thinking twice, she pushed John from her path, and swiftly got up, her eyes scanning the bush anxiously. John's body jerked with the sudden push and couldn't even lift any of his limbs. He didn't expect his plans to get interrupt. Now, his life force was slowly slipping away. Fear filled Emily's heart as her mind raced uncontrollably, failing to comprehend what just occurred. Wasn't John about to sexually assault her? At this time, a tall straight figure like a towering spear, strode forward, exuding a strong presence capable of pressuring a mountain. "

Emily's eyes contracted fiercely, and slowly, she turned her back, a layer of unsettling emotion roaming across her face. " Sarah." A young girl with dim eyes in an halter neck gown, inclined her head downward.Silently, Sarah tightened her grip on the teddy bear in her hands, her eyes gradually becoming red." Sarah. Please, what you heard is rubbish." Emily skipped forward to hold her daughter, who was standing right beside the door, while trying to clarify things immediately. However, Sarah shuffled a step back from her mother, a muffled sob escaping from her mouth. She knew her grandparents didn't like her from the start, but is this how much they despise her? They don't even want her anymore......" This isn't rubbish!" Steven sneered, his face contorting in contempt. He was seriously getting annoyed at Emily's stubbornness. His businesses were failing, and he needed urgent funds, which couldn't be delayed. Only Wei Zhao was ready to help, but it comes with a cond

After receiving the call, James refused to waste any time and headed straight to the car with his long legs. He needed to get to the described location as possible. Voom! The car roared terribly like a lion king after it prey! Staring at the fading figure of James at a distance inside the secret house, Kyle sighed, his expression inexplicable. He knew this was all his fault.But what made him feel helpless was knowing there was nothing he could do about it. " Your guilt won't take you anywhere." Jessica walked behind and offered a polite smile. " I think you should fight along side with him." Kyle glanced at Jessica, his expression moving between surprise and confusion, as if struggling to say something. .Jessica could perfectly comprehend Kyle's turmoil. So, she said nicely, " I can take care of James and Emily. Don't forget I am not only a medical expert but a martial art experts also." Yes, she was not just a renowned doctor, who had worked in the military for years but

Sounds of hurried footsteps dominated the hospital reception as a man bustled in a frenzy manner, exhaling heavily. " Mr. Zhao! They have located this place!" One of the henchmen, who was rushing forward, halted right in front of Victor. Victor was still with Zhao, and they were about to conclude their discussion when the henchman arrived unexpectedly. Wearing a quick frown, Zhao snapped irritatedly, " What are you saying?! Who the hell are you?! Get lost!" He didn't hesitate to scold the henchman as he disliked being interrupted. However, Victor was much more sensible. He raised his brows and glanced at the henchman.." Who located this place?" In a collected way, he questioned him. The henchman tried to steady himself, reducing his heavy breathing, and he parted his quivering lips. " The rumored god of war......" Hearing this, both Victor and Zhao's expressions changed instantly! ...Forest" Yes! General, I can finally see the hidden hospital!" President Richard shoute

The instant, James was able to crack open the giant steel blocking the entrance, he jumped in order to avoid any attack that might come unexpectedly. Descending from the sky like a god about to save a little princess, his facial expression was frightening, and he landed ruthlessly on one of the guards. The guard didn't see this coming, and his bones got shattered!Now, it was uncertain if he would survive or end in hell. Wei Zhao was so scared, watching this that he shuddered like sieve and turned to Victor, standing beside him. He didn't want to believe James could be the rumoured god of war but looking at the formidable strength, and how he just manually busted a giant steel, the thought was hard to push away. Is he really the god of war? But isn't he just a penniless son in law, who only trained in the military for some years? " We have to stop him at all cost. The end won't be favourable." Victor's eyelids were unstable, but he agreed to Zhao's words. There was no going b

Suddenly, a frail voice called out, although light but weak..." Daddy!" Immediately, James was charged up, his ears perking! He didn't waste a time and lifted his head, scanning the walls around. " Sarah!" His deep voice echoed out strongly like thunder rumbling the building, and he skipped away from Victor and Zhao, who was writhing on the ground. " Victor!!" Rolling on the ground, Zhao screamed and managed to stretch his hand forward, as if wanting to stop James. " Where are the men?! You better stop him now! If he gets his hand on his daughter, we are doomed, especially you! The Tarlose family will be wiped out, and you would be gone!" Victor, upon hearing this, tried to regain his composure and adjusted himself. He took out a small cloth to wipe away the beads of sweats on his forehead and quickly made a call. " Where are the men?! I want them here within minutes unless y'all want to be finished!" He threatened in an unfamiliar voice and hung up instantly, exh

The reinforced door creaked open, revealing Andre’s command center.The room was a stark contrast to the rest of the base—brightly lit, with sleek monitors displaying surveillance feeds and tactical maps.At the center stood Andre, flanked by his personal guard, all armed and ready.Andre turned slowly, a smug smile spreading across his face.“Radcliffe. You finally made it. I was starting to think you got lost in the tunnels.”James stepped forward, his team at his back, weapons raised.“It’s over, Andre. Stand down.”Andre chuckled, spreading his arms theatrically.“Over? Oh no, Radcliffe. This is just the beginning. Look at you—storming in here, guns blazing. Do you even realize how much destruction you’ve left in your wake?”James’s voice was calm but firm.“Spare me the speeches. You’ve done more harm than I ever could.”Andre’s smile widened, his tone mocking.“Haven’t I, though? But tell me, James—how many lives have you ruined in your so-called quest for justice? How many inno
CHAPTER 240
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
CHAPTER 238
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
CHAPTER 235
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
CHAPTER 233
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
