Max Xanderson turned immediately and heaved a sigh of relief as his daughter was still on the bed and hadn't seen what had happened.

"I'm coming sweetheart."

Max Xanderson immediately said as he rolled Alice Stevens up in a carton and dumped her into one of the stores in the supermarket.

Rushing towards Chloe, he immediately gets to the chair where she was tied up and starts to loosen the rope off his daughter.

The untying took about 1 minute as Alice Stevens had really done a great job with tying up little Chloe.

Hugging his daughter tight, Max Xanderson immediately wept slowly and dabbed his tears away.

The situation was intense and palpable.

"Dad, why did you leave us?"

"Is it because mom wasn't good enough for you?"

"Or is it me?…wasn't I good enough for you?"

Chloe Maxwell asked as she stared into Max's face which was now laced with a mixture of confusion and disappointment.

"Darling is not that…"

Max Xanderson tried hard to explain, but no one, not even his daughter could understand why he did what he had to do.

"Dad, since you left, Grandpa and Grandma have been humiliating Mom and me every day."

"The last time they almost threw us out of the house…they said you are the reason why they are suffering."

Max Xanderson only patted her on her back slowly in a bid to pacify her anger.

"It will all be alright…Daddy is home and I'm going to fix everything."

Max Xanderson pleaded with his daughter, his voice was barely above whispers and laced with reassurance.

"Daddy, why would you leave us in the first place?"

"I have been bullied and called a fatherless child in school…Daddy why?!"

Chloe Maxwell with teary eyes kept on asking Max Xanderson for a perfect explanation for why he left but Max Xanderson could not come up with any perfect excuse.

"It will be alright Chloe…I will make everyone who has humiliated you and mom pay dearly in due time."

Max Xanderson's voice was laced with determination and reassurance as he hugged Chloe Maxwell even more.

"I promise Chloe…even if it's the last thing I do."

"They will all pay dearly."

His eyes glinted in venom and anger as he stared into the wall in front of him.

He could feel the warm tears of his daughter running down his back wetting his shirt.

Max Xanderson had long wanted to visit his family but he couldn't, most of the missions he embarked on were highly classified military missions, plus he would be risking his family's life if he had contacted them.

"Are you sure that they will all pay Dad?"

Chloe Maxwell asked as she dabbed her eyes dry.

"I promise Chloe…I promise."

Just then, the door was kicked open forcibly as Jack Oniels led his fellow teammates and they stormed the whole supermarket immediately.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Chloe Maxwell asked as she stared around in bewilderment and anxiety.

"Relax Chloe, they are friends and not foes."

Max Xanderson's voice was barely above whispers but laced with reassurance as he hugged Chloe.

"Mom!!!"

Chloe immediately yelled as she spotted Melissa Stevens who was just entering the building with some military personnel.

"Chloe!!!"

Melissa screamed as she immediately ran and hugged her daughter and both of them wept soberfully.

The reunion made Max Xanderson almost wet with tears.

"Sire here you go."

Jack Oniels immediately handed Max Xanderson a hand towel.

Dabbing his eyes dry, Max Xanderson immediately took Jack Oniels outside and whispered something into his ears which made Jack Oniels shudder in trepidation.

Beads of sweat immediately build down his cheeks.

"But sire…that wouldn't be such a great idea."

Jack Oniels protested calmly.

"Jack…just do as I have said."

Max Xanderson immediately walked back into the supermarket and instructed Tyler Oniels, Jack's brother, to dispose of Alice Stevens' body before Chloe or Melissa Stevens would see it.

"Chloe…where is your aunty, Alice?"

Melissa Stevens asked as she stared around in bewilderment.

"She left…she ran away before I could get to her."

Max Xanderson immediately cut in.

    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

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
