2024-06-24 16:55:08Alice Stevens paced around trying to gather her stuff to disappear from the scene as her gaze had fallen on a military-grade Range Rover.
Max Xanderson stepped out of the car and immediately removed his dark shades.
His gaze fell on his daughter Chloe who was still partly awake tied to a chair.
"Dad…is…that you?"
Chloe Maxwell asked, her voice was barely above whispers as tears wells down her cheeks.
Her body was covered in whitish powder from the fire extinguisher, her hair was all dishevelled.
Max Xanderson immediately ran towards her and held her closely.
"It's me, Chloe…I'm back…what happened to you?"
He asked as he examined the wounded body of his daughter.
As Max Xanderson asked the question, his gaze immediately fell on Alice Stevens who was now at the door turning the door knob to escape.
"You!"
Max Xanderson's voice was laced with authority and venom as he raced towards Alice Stevens who still struggled to open the door.
Before Alice Stevens could turn, Max Xanderson reached out and landed her a forceful slap that sent her falling backwards.
She tried to stand but staggered backwards and fell to the ground holding her face in pain.
"You animal!"
"How dare you lay your poverty-reeking hand on me?!"
"Haven't you done enough harm already to us?!"
"Why didn't you just die in that river that day?"
"You are the reason we are all suffering at the Stevens."
"I really wished my cousin hadn't wasted her life trying to save a dumbass like you."
"And you had the guts to impregnate her and disappear into thin air."
Alice Stevens continued as Max Xanderson stared at her viciously on the ground.
"You haven't seen anything yet…I will make sure you pay for laying your hands on me, immediately I leave here I'm reporting you to my Grandfather, Lord Dylan Stevens."
As Alice Stevens kept ranting, she immediately placed her hand on her right ear and noticed blood stains.
"What have you done to me?!"
Alice Stevens yelled as she rolled on the floor.
Max Xanderson immediately walked over to her daughter and stared around the room, his eyes catching some of the livestream gear that Alice had left on the table.
"Sweetheart, I'm back for you and mummy, what did she do to you?"
Max Xanderson asked as he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Dad…she put a spider on my face and made her life streamers watch and laugh out loud, then she hosed me with that fire extinguisher."
Chloe's voice was laced with a mixture of anxiety and trepidation as she spoke and pointed at the half-empty fire extinguisher on the floor.
Max Xanderson immediately got up and walked towards Alice Stevens who was still yapping about how she would make Max Xanderson pay dearly for hitting her.
Immediately she saw the beastly and dreadful look on Max's face, she immediately swallowed a hard lump.
Her countenance changed from arrogance to a mixture of confusion, anxiety and trepidation.
"Max, I'm really sorry for what I did…I mean it wasn't my idea…I was only following orders."
Alice Stevens stammered as she crawled back slowly away from Max Xanderson and hid under one of the supermarket counters.
Max Xanderson gritted his teeth and immediately jacked the counter and heaved it away revealing a fidgeting Alice Stevens.
Max Xanderson immediately kicked her in the gut and she crashed into a counter, the groceries on the counter pouring all over her.
"Who gave you the stupid and devilish orders to humiliate my daughter, a 3-year-old girl?"
Max Xanderson's voice was laced with anger as he paced towards Alice now having his signature titanium claw weapon armed on his hand.
"It was my grandfather and before you take sides and do something nasty, I want you to know that Melissa, your wife, has gone to be with her new boyfriend Arnold Lucas."
"Your so-called wife abandoned your daughter and went to be with another man, you should be thanking…"
Her statement was interrupted as Max darted his blade-like weapon at her, slitting her throat from a distance.
Alice Stevens immediately knelt on the floor, holding her throat as blood gushed out slowly as she struggled to breathe.
"Help…"
Alice Stevens couldn't even complete her last words as she fell dead on the wooden floor holding her throat.
"That would teach you never to mess with my family or lie about my wife."
"If only you and your family knew how indebted I am to Melissa Stevens."
"None of you actually know what really happened that night by the Blueberg River."
"And I hope it stays that way."
Max Xanderson's voice was barely above whispers and laced with secrecy as he stared at Alice Stevens who lay in the pool of her own blood.
"Dad…is everything alright?"
The quaky voice of Chloe Maxwell broke through from behind him.

Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels slowly took a deep breath and just as they turned to look at the man behind them and to their greatest surprise, he was now standing by the cliff edge.The wind from the trees was still making the whole place spooky and scary.Max Xanderson immediately walked closer to the man who was now by the valley edge, “What are you doing by that valley edge?!”“Do you really want to kill yourself?”Max Xanderson asked as he stared at the man who was now threatening to jump off the cliff.“What do you think you are trying to do?!”Jack Oniels immediately asked as he stepped closer to Max Xanderson who was almost closer to the man.“I can't take it anymore, Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels!”“I told you she will be back and I don't want to be another unlucky person added to her kill list!”“Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels, you really don't understand who is it you both are messing with…I can't deal with her!”The man's voice was laced with a mixture of confusion, trepidat

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

Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels stared at the dark shadow as it began to grow and shifting into something beyond scary.Jack Oniels immediately was taken aback, he knew he wasn't supposed to be scared as he and Max Xanderson, the Grand General Cobra had fought most possibly demons and stood a chance.But as the dark figure shape shifted, Jack Oniels immediately swallowed a hard lump.Max Xanderson, the Grand General Cobra Claw, kept his gaze fixed on the dark, shifting form before them.Max Xanderson's jaws was set, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides.The figure was no longer just a shadow; it was becoming something far more tangible and terrifying, more like something you be seeing in a scary night movie.Tendrils of darkness shot out immediately and coiled like living serpents, and a pair of glowing red eyes began to pierce through its body and tails.Jack Oniels took a step back, his usual now a bit faltering.He immediately swallowed hard, the lump in his throat a t

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

Max’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. “And why is she targeting us?” Max Xanderson demanded almost immediately. “What does she want?”“Why would she even send you people to come to Melissa Steven's home and take her out?!”“We don't even know who and what we are up against at the moment!”“Why is she targeting Melissa Stevens and my family?!”Max Xanderson as his gaze landed on Jack Oniels, his second in command before making its way to the face of the man, as he expected an answer urgently.Max Xanderson had always taken to heart anything that had to do with any form of threats against his family.“Do you know why I'm asking all these questions, it's simply because no one… absolutely no one messes with my wife, Melissa Stevens, Little Chloe Maxwell and Mrs Sophia Stevens and doesn't get hurt one hundred percent!”Max Xanderson's voice was laced with a mixture of coldness and pure venom.Slowly Max Xanderson turned to Jack Oniels and said slowly, “Jack Oniels, it seems he doesn't

“Because tell me, if she isn't afraid why wouldn't she be out already?”“Why would she be behind those shadows and making awkward noises?”“If she is indeed the iron lady that you people claim that she is, then she is out here fighting to prove her point, she shouldn't be out there sending you people to come and do her work!”“Now that you are about to fall off a cliff, she isn't here to in any way support you or help you, you are now left alone to die a miserable death, how is she going to find a way to save you now?!”Max Xanderson's voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination as he asked the man behind him. He and Jack Oniels were still expectant of the lady boss's arrival.The man's immediately swallowed a hard lump, the words of Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels already sinking through into his head.The man immediately pondered slowly on what Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels had just said and turned to Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels.He immediately pondered jumping off
Chapter 338:
The man's voice cracked as he spoke, the sheer weight of his words bearing down on him.He slowly clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms as if holding onto some shred of courage. His eyes darted nervously between Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels hoping for some sign of reassurance from both Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels.Jack Oniels raised an eyebrow, unimpressed."So, she’s thorough. What else?”“You're wasting our time with scary bedtime tales."“What do you really take us for, do you really think we are afraid of some funny and foolish stories, we aren't afraid for your information!”“We are not in any way going to let your stories get to us at all!”“Do you know the level of warfare that we have been through since we began our mission together?”“I guess you don't, we are not afraid of anything and especially not afraid of your so-called boss lady or lady boss.”Jack Oniels voice was laced with a mixture of authority, determination and reassurance as he spoke and stare
