Sullivan's heart sank and a wave of sadness washed over him as he helplessly watched Oliver's lifeless body slump onto the chair.

The soldiers quickly started shooting, but Evelyn had already disappeared. They were left wondering how she managed to vanish so effortlessly. It was like she had a secret trick up her sleeve, leaving everyone amazed and confused.

Sullivan's heart pounded in his chest as he rushed over to Oliver, his eyes welling up with tears. With trembling hands, he gently shook Oliver, desperately searching for any sign of life.

The weight of the moment hung heavy in the air as Sullivan's mind raced with fear and uncertainty. Time seemed to stand still as he held his breath, hoping against all odds for a miracle.

"General, we searched everywhere but couldn't find her," John gasped, his breath coming out in soft pants.

He hurried back, his heart pounding with a mix of exhaustion and disappointment.

"He's dead." Sullivan muttered in a trance.

As John scanned Oliver's b

Jason asked with a hint of excitement."Everything went according to plan," Flint replied.This reply made Jason happy."I'll always know I could count on you." Jason beamed with joy."There's a problem though, my men were not able to kill Erica because the dragon general's men were there but we were able to wreck her car," Flint said."The possibility of her making it alive is very slim." He continued."That's good. Even if she doesn't die I want her to feel unimaginable pain and she should suffer. The same goes for that dragon general." Jason frowned."It is his fault that my dad is treating me like this. When I end his tyranny, my father won't have the guts to look down on me." Jason said. "Anything you say, boss."

She's not answering her phone, and her car was found wrecked on the side of the road...."Sullivan's grip on John's arm tightened, his heart racing with fear."Are you certain? Does the car belong to her?""Yes general, we have confirmed and indeed the car belongs to Lady Erica." Me William replied."What!" Sullivan yelled.He couldn't believe his ears at this point.

    Evelyn stepped out of her car as she closed the door behind her.She tossed the keys to one of her guards as she walked towards the entrance.When she opened the door to her room she realized that the lights were switched off.This was weird because she liked the lights to be on and the servants were aware of this.She was already planning on yelling at the maids when he felt a cold metal pressed on the side of her head and she felt a lump in her throat.The lights went on and she was greeted by the presence of the person she despised the most."Let me go," Evelyn warned."Hello, love."Jason chuckled."You bastard." Evelyn grouted."There's no need for hostility sweetheart," Jason smirked."You have a gun to my head. I think you're the one with hostility here." Evelyn scoffed."Why are you here?"

    "Are you out of your mind?" Evelyn yelled. Jason smirked as he watched her frightened expression. "You could have killed me," Evelyn yelled again, her heart was panting heavily with fear. "Keep running your mouth and I won't miss it deliberately next time," Jason smirked. Evelyn glared at him with anger. She despises that he had the upper hand in this case but she had to play it smart or she could end up being dead. "Good," Jason remarked when he noticed she had stopped blabbing her mouth. "Now let's pick off from where we left off because the last time I called you hung up on me," Jason said. Evelyn clenched her fist to suppress the anger that was beginning to overwhelm her. All her life she had been shackled to people that always wanted to use her and it was beginning to get on her nerves. "What do you want Jason," Evelyn asked. "I need you to help me find the gold Oliver Stone is keeping. I believe it's either in his house or the great dragon general has already found it

    Sullivan's steps were heavy as he trudged back home, his once resolute demeanor now burdened by the weight of the night’s events. The adrenaline that had fueled him through the mission had long since faded, replaced by a hollow emptiness that gnawed at his chest. His uniform, stained with the blood of battle, felt suffocating as he reached the front door of his home. The moment the door creaked open, Evelyn appeared, her face lighting up with relief at the sight of her father. Behind her, Erica emerged, her eyes scanning Sullivan's expression with concern. But as Evelyn took in her father's sullen face, her heart skipped a beat. She looked past him, her brow furrowing in confusion."Where’s John?" Evelyn asked, her voice tinged with worry. Sullivan's eyes met hers, and for a moment, he couldn’t find the words. His silence was all the answer Evelyn needed. "We met some resistance and John used his life to save mine.

    Jason's cold smile lingered as he took a step back, his eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to defy him. Mrs. Martin glared at him, her jaw clenched in anger, but she remained silent.

Jason had them all where he wanted—on edge, fearful, and uncertain.Before anyone could muster a response, Jason turned on his heel and strode out of the chamber, his men following closely behind.

    The room had barely settled into a sense of uneasy calm when the doors to the council's meeting chamber burst open. "Jason has gone wrong and we need to put him down." Mrs.Martin yelled. "You of all people should know that he's not a force to be reckoned with. " Jason's father yelled. "You are no longer the head of this council so don't give oders." Mrs. Martin snapped. "But as a member i have a right to speak." He shot quickly. His face was clenched in anger because he still couldn't believe she did this to him. Ever since he stepped down from his position, his family has not been peaceful plus the death of his grandfather made his wife on a rampage.

    Sullivan managed a weak smile, though it did little to mask the turmoil within him. "I feel like it too," he admitted, running a hand through his disheveled hair."Did you even get any sleep."Sullivan turned his eyes lazily at john. "What do you think?""Right." John remarked as he gave a nod. John moved to the counter, pouring himself a cup of coffee before taking a seat across from Sullivan. The silence between them was heavy, laden with unspoken worries and unaddressed fears.After a long sip of his coffee, John finally spoke. "I take it things didn’t go well with Erica?"Sullivan sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping. "No, they didn’t. She’s so hurt, John. I don’t know how to fix this."John nodded thoughtfully, his gaze steady and he sighed before he slouch on the couch. "You’ve always been good at fixing things, Sullivan. But some wounds… some wounds need time, not quick fixes."Sullivan stared into his cup, the steam rising in gentle swirls. "I know that. But I can’t s

    Sullivan’s footsteps echoed hollowly through the grand halls of their home, the weight of the night's events pressing heavily on his shoulders. He had escorted Erica and Evelyn back from the warehouse, but the tension between him and Erica was palpable, a chasm that seemed to widen with each passing second. As soon as they arrived, Erica had avoided his gaze, her body rigid with anger and pain. Sullivan had tried to reach out to her, but she had brushed past him, her eyes cold and distant. Now, he stood outside their bedroom, his heart pounding in his chest.Taking a deep breath, Sullivan pushed the door open and stepped inside. Erica was by the window, her back to him as she stared out into the night. The silence between them was suffocating.“Erica…” Sullivan began, his voice low and tentative.She didn’t turn around. “I don’t want to hear it, Sullivan,” she said, her voice cold and firm.“Please,” he implored, stepping closer. “Just let me explain. I was trying to protect you. I

    Sullivan’s heart pounded as Jason’s voice echoed through the dark, cavernous warehouse. He clenched his fists, every muscle in his body tensed, ready for whatever was to come.“Jason,” Sullivan called out, his voice steady but laced with fury. “Where are they?”A low chuckle reverberated through the space, causing Sullivan’s skin to crawl. He spun around, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, but the shadows played tricks on his senses. Suddenly, a flicker of light appeared on the far wall, and a hologram of Jason materialized, his cold eyes locking onto Sullivan.“Relax, General,” Jason said with a twisted smile. “They’re alive… for now.”Sullivan took a step forward, his jaw clenched. “I’m not here to play games, Jason. Where are they?”The hologram of Jason tilted his head, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Always so impatient. You know, Sullivan, you should be thanking me. I’ve given you a gift—freedom.”Sullivan narrowed his eyes, his pulse racing. “What are you talking

    Sullivan’s heart skipped a beat as John's words sank in. He stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing to process the information. The unease that had been gnawing at him now turned into full-blown dread."Have you checked everywhere?" Sullivan demanded, his voice sharp with urgency."Have you searched every corner of the house? The garden.""Yes, General," John replied, still catching his breath. "We've searched the entire estate, questioned the staff—no one has seen them since this afternoon. Although I interrogated the maids and they overhead the lady Erica talking about going to a boutique."Sullivan clenched his fists, his mind reeling. Erica and Evelyn wouldn't just disappear. Not without something being wrong. His thoughts quickly turned to Jason. Could this be his move? Was this the beginning of his revenge?"It's going to be her regular. Have you called in to see if they used their cards to pay for any item..""General, they never made their way to the boutique."“Damn it

    Jason sat in his dimly lit office, the heavy silence of the room punctuated only by the ticking of an old clock on the wall. The air was thick with the scent of leather and smoke, mingling with the faint aroma of whiskey from the glass in his hand. He stared down at the liquid, swirling it slowly as he reflected on the event that had brought him here—at the top of the underground empire, feared by those who once looked down on him.With his newfound power and authority, Jason knew he was unstoppable and now it was time to take back everything that was taken from him. He had spent years clawing his way out of the shadows, enduring brutal training, torture, and pain.What made him happiest was that the scar was no more. He always promised to end his life and so he did. He chuckled when he recalled the look of hurt and helplessness on his face. Every step had been a struggle, but now, with power and authority firmly in his grasp, he knew he was unstoppable. It was time to repay th
