After helping Leona up, Ace also swings himself up. He and Justin quickly agreed on the plan. “We have to take Leona in the car immediately. I will take him to the hospital, and you stay to save Julie,” Ace said with determination.Justin nodded. His eyes did not leave Leona. They helped Leona together, step by step, carefully and quickly. Meanwhile, Caesar and Monica still controlled Laramie and Kimmy. Their eyes were full of anxiety but steadfast. “Be careful, Ace,” Monica told and connected the radio, called their bodyguards. “A part of you will escort you to the hospital. The rest will stay to help us search.”When they approached the car, they carefully opened the door and prepared to bring Leona inside. Suddenly, Katherine’s screams rang from behind. “Justin, be careful!”Justin turned his head immediately, and at that moment, a gunfire rang out. Katherine rushed to support him, fell to the ground with a bullet hit by him.“Katherine!” Justin shouted, her eyes wide when she fell
After separating Kimmy and Laramie, Justin’s group quickly dragged them out, each person, into a separate car. Monica and Caesar watched, making sure that neither of them escaped or contact each other.Justin stayed in the house, determined to find Kimmy’s accomplices, especially the one who had just opened fire earlier. He quickly ran up to the second floor, where a cloud of dust and debris fell from the ceiling, making it hard for him to see. Broken sounds echoed everywhere, causing Justin’s hearing to be limited.Calming down, Justin stopped walking, closed his eyes, and felt his surroundings. He took a deep breath, letting each steady breath help him focus. The sound of falling debris, the soft sound of passing footsteps, the gasps of those hiding... It all became clearer as he focused on senses other than sight.The smallest noises, fluctuations in the air, the trembling breaths of hidden enemies... Justin senses everything, grasping the surrounding situation by sensing the envir
Justin dragged Samuel along, clutching the back of his neck like a captured cat. Samuel trembled, trying not to let fear make him lose his composure. “Show me the way down to the secret passage,” Justin ordered, his voice cold and determined.Samuel nodded, his eyes still filled with panic. “Follow me,” he said, his voice shaking. He led Justin through dark and dilapidated hallways, finally stopping in front of a secret door hidden behind a large tapestry.As they were about to enter, Justin’s walkie-talkie went off. “Justin, this is Caesar. Do you need support from me and the others?”Justin quickly answered, his eyes never leaving Samuel. “No need, Caesar. I’ll take care of it myself. You guys focus on protecting the injured and keeping the surrounding area safe.”Caesar replied with worry in his voice. “Understood. Be careful, Justin.”Justin turned off the radio and signaled Samuel to open the door. The door creaked as it opened, revealing a narrow staircase leading down. “Go ahea
Justin and Julie went outside, trying to find a way out of the dangerous area. Outside, the scene became even more chaotic. Piles of bricks and mortar were scattered, everything shook strongly and many parts of the house were destroyed, blocking the path. Pieces of the ceiling fell, creating deafening sounds, and the air was filled with dust.Julie clung tightly to Justin, her eyes filled with fear but also determination. Suddenly, she discovered Justin’s blood flowing from his hand to her hand. Julie was extremely frightened, but she tried not to cry. Her eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembled, but she bit her lip, determined not to let the tears fall. Julie didn’t want her father to worry anymore, and also knew that Justin was seriously injured. She wanted to be his support.“Dad, try your best. You definitely won’t leave me,” Julie said, her voice filled with determination but also trembling. The girl tried to smile, even though inside she was terrified.Justin looked at J
Justin felt himself floating in a strange space. No pain, no chaotic noise of the last battle. When he opened his eyes, he stood in a green field. The warm sunlight shone down, creating a peaceful and beautiful scenery. The flowers bloom in colorful, the sound of birds singing everywhere, and the breeze blows through, bringing the sweet fragrance of nature.Justin looked around, feeling the peace and peace of this place. He thought, “This is a paradise.” But his heart was still heavy, he knew he had a lot of things he had not yet let go. He still Julie, and his teammates. If he dies, they will face heavy consequences. Julie, she lost her mother, now if she lost her father, she would not stand it.Justin struggled, not knowing what to do here. He wanted to leave, but did not know the way. He did not know how long the real world had passed. Julie is like now. Once lost both parents, he was afraid she would not stand it. These thoughts kept haunting him, making him unable to enjoy the pe
Justin slowly woke up. The first feeling was of drowsiness and pain. He couldn’t immediately remember where he was or what had happened. His eyes blinked, trying to get used to the surrounding light. The aromatic smell of disinfectant and the steady sound of medical machinery told him he was in a hospital.He looked around and realized he was lying in a spacious and luxurious room. The room’s walls are decorated with delicate paintings, white curtains, and a hospital bed with pure white blankets and pillows. Feeling comfortable, but not less solemn. “Where is this?” Justin thought to himself, trying to remember what happened.Then he suddenly realized this was the Mozzafiato military hospital. A feeling of both surprise and shock filled his heart. “Why are we here?” he wondered, his mind reeling with fragmented memories. He remembered the war, the pain and despair, then the last faint image appeared in his mind... seemingly Caesar.“Caesar brought me here?” Justin thought to himself,
Julie remained hostile and distant towards the King. Even though he tried to approach her gently, Julie’s stony gaze and steadfastness did not change. The King looked at the girl, a faint smile on his lips. “Do you like this place, Julie?”Julie looked around the splendid room, feeling overwhelmed by the luxury and royal style of the place. But for the little girl, all of this means nothing without her father by her side. “No,” she said flatly, her voice firm. “I enjoy being with dad the most.”The King nodded, his eyes becoming deep. “So, if your dad was here, would you like this place?” he asked, his voice gentle but full of probing.Julie thought for a moment, her eyes shining with intelligence and sharpness. “What do you want to say?” the girl asked back. “If your father is forced to leave here, you will not be happy and you will definitely not stay.”The King silently praised Julie’s intelligence. He knew this girl was very similar to her father, not easily subdued or deceived. “
Justin looked at the bottle of medicine on the tray and realized it was the same supplement he had been taking for nearly five years. This drug has become so familiar to him that just by seeing its color and shape, he can immediately recognize it. But right now, he doesn’t want to drink. A feeling of doubt and anxiety arose in his heart.However, Justin knew he was in front of the King and Verney. If he refused to take the medicine, it would immediately make them suspicious. He couldn’t show any signs of resistance or disobedience now. You need to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity.Justin took the tube and drank it all, a bitter taste filling his mouth. He swallowed, trying not to show his discomfort. The King stood nearby, his eyes sharp and full of scrutiny. “Let’s heal and think carefully,” he said, his voice warm but no less threatening. “Remember that your daughter and teammates are depending on your decisions.”The King’s words cut deep into Justin’s heart like a knif
