"Mrs Sophia, don't worry, everything will be fixed…eventually."

Max Xanderson said and patted Melissa Stevens on the shoulder slowly.

"Eventually!"

"Can you hear yourself, Max?!"

"Eventually, we need a plan and not the word eventually or luck!"

"We will be sitting ducks if we don't have a way to get the contract from Lady Megan Stevens."

Mrs Sophia Stevens' voice was laced with anxiety.

"Mrs Sophia, I promise you, it will all turn out for good."

"Melissa Stevens won that bidding contract and only she will be able to sign it."

"Just relax and watch as things work out for our good."

Max Xanderson's voice was laced with assurance and hope.

Where are you guys?!”Max Xanderson immediately called out as he stared into the dark living room.“General Cobra Claw…what do we do now?”Jack Oniels asked as he squatted by the side of General Cobra Claw.“Jack Oniels, I really don't know…they were right here when we left and I clearly recall telling Melissa to lock those doors!”“What sorcery is this?!”Max Xanderson asked as he kicked the window next to him and suddenly a well-hidden piece of paper fell off and dropped to the ground.Jack Oniels immediately picked up the paper and gave it to Max Xanderson, the grand general Cobra Claw.Max Xanderson slowly gazed at the paper as he voiced out s

    The dark figure stopped immediately and seemed to grow, its shadow stretching along the walls, twisting and writhing as if alive. The perimeter felt like it was closing in, the air heavy with an unnatural chill.Max Xanderson held his ground, his jaw set and his fists clenched at his sides.Beside him, Jack Oniels’ smirk faltered for the briefest moment before returning with a defiant edge.The man behind them, still kneeling on the ground, clutched at his head and rocked back and forth.“You don’t understand,” he whispered hoarsely. “You’ve brought this on yourselves. She’ll kill us all.”“Shut up,” Jack Oniels snapped, throwing a glare over his shoulder. “You’re not helping.”Max Xanderson ignored them both, his eyes locked on the figure. “You’re good at theatrics,” he said, his voice steady despite the palpable tension. “But I’ve faced monsters before, and you’re no different.”The figure tilted its head, as if considering his words.When it spoke, its voice was layered, as thoug

    The man opened his mouth to respond, but the eerie sound suddenly grew louder, drowning out his words. He froze immediately, his face draining of color as he stared at the shadows. “She’s here,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. “She’s coming.”Max Xanderson immediately stepped forward, his presence commanding and laced with authority States and determination.“Let her come,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “We’ll be ready.”Jack Oniels immediately smirked, his confidence returning. “Yeah,” he said, cracking his knuckles. “Bring it on.”The man stared at them, his fear now mixed with disbelief. “Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels, you both don’t understand,” he said, his voice trembling. “You can’t fight her. You can’t win.”“Maybe not,” Max Xanderson said, his eyes cold and unyielding. “But we’ll go down fighting.”The haunting sound reached its highest height, and the shadows around the perimeter immediately seemed to shift and twist, as if something—or someone—was about

    Jack Oniels exhaled slowly, a flicker of nostalgia crossing his hardened features as he began to recount the battles they had endured.His eyes shining with a dangerous intensity, a mix of pride and warning, as he prepared to illuminate the scale of devastation he and Max Xanderson, the Grand General Cobra Claw had wrought upon their enemies.“Let’s General Cobra Claw, I totally forgot about Viktor Helstrom, the Beast of Karvoth,” Jack Oniels said, his voice laced with a chilling reminiscence.He knew the battle between the beast of Karvoth like the palm of his hand, almost every member of the Supreme Elite Forces military knew that military story of how the beast of Karvoth was annihilated completely.“Helstrom wasn’t just a man; he was a monster, a brute who thrived on chaos.”“He led a faction of mercenaries who razed entire villages to the ground, leaving nothing but ash and bone in their wake.” “When we faced him, he was fortified in the Iron Citadel, a fortress no army had ever

    Jack’s voice grew quieter, more authoritative.“But Max Xanderson, the Grand General Cobra Claw and I don’t believe in untouchable.”“We found him, dismantled his operation piece by piece, and forced him into the open.”“The final showdown? Let’s just say Grey Gulch no longer has a ghost. Just a memory.”Jack Oniels voice was laced with a mixture of authority and as he finally gave out slaughter after noticing the faint smile on the face of Max Xanderson, the Grand General Cobra Claw.That was Clearly something you don't see everyday.The man before them was visibly trembling now, his face pale and slick with sweat. Max Xanderson immediately stepped closer, his piercing gaze locking onto the man’s terrified eyes.“Jack Oniels, I think you are forgetting something or should I say some people.”“We did take out a lot of fools and bad guys back at the Supreme Elite Forces military days…I think I remember someone else!”“Tell him about the Crimson Pact,” Max Xanderson said, his tone as s
