"I had to be quiet to arouse any suspicion," muttered Davis. "So, are you still accusing me of lying now?" asked Ryan Buldone, "I did everything Dylan told me to do. He did us a favor by keeping the Miller family forces away from us. It would have been nearly impossible for us to defeat their forces without Dylan's help."Jeremy chuckled, surveying the surroundings. "We'll wait in the secret room until Mr. Henry gives us an update. If the situation worsens, we will leave this room immediately and go to our respective locations."Jeremy added, "We should gather to confirm the preparation of our plan. We should not communicate in this room, except for me and a few key alliance members."The alliance members dispersed to their respective waiting locations. Some alliance members seemed to be chatting without any fuss. Large screens displayed the state of the island and buildings. Guards were standing guard with full armor. The room was quiet, but the silence made everyone even more tens
Davis woke up to the sound of the alarm. Sweat was pouring down his body. He was breathing heavily like he had just finished a long run. "What happened?" asked Davis as he wiped off the sweat. He checked the clock and was surprised when it read six o'clock. "I slept for four hours.""You slept so restlessly that I and the others called the doctor to check on you, Davis," said Sammy. "I just had a bad dream." Davis sank onto the couch, recalling a nightmare about an armed force attacking a residence. "I went back to see the dream again. I also saw a baby, a woman, a man, Sammy, Don, and the others when they were young. The dream got more vivid over time," he murmured. Davis stood up. "What happened while I was asleep?""Mr. Henry managed to survive the pursuit of Lucas Frangkrut's army. He is in a safe location now. We'll be leaving this place in about two hours.""I see." Davis hurried to clean up, exercising indoors. Sammy, Don, Trex, Jay, Leon, Noah, and Layla observed Davis. "
Ryan Buldone was stunned when he saw Alvin in Dylan form behind him. Sweat dripped from his forehead. His heart skipped a beat. "Don't you believe me, Ryan?" Alvin smiled. "Alright, I'll notify the alliance so they do as you say." Ryan Buldone contacted all the alliance members, including Henry Tolando. "Dylan just sent me a message."Davis and the rest of the alliance fell silent, listening intently. Davis immediately opened the hologram screen, observing Ryan Buldone's state. "He looks agitated. Dylan most likely did send him a message."Davis shifted the hologram screen to the side, but the screen suddenly froze until it finally moved again. "Ryan Buldone was only accompanied by a bodyguard."Ryan Buldone took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly, sending a pinpoint location. "Dylan asked all of us to meet the Miller family troops at the location I sent you.""What?" Jeremy shouted until the entire alliance heard his voice. "Are you crazy? The Miller family forces could
"The system can't scan that man," Davis said as he stared at Samson, clenching his fists tightly. "I shouldn't be thinking about who that guy is right now. I should be prepared for any eventuality.""That man is Samson, the leader of the Miller family's army. He is powerful. None of us can defeat him now," Jeremy said over the phone, "You must remain cautious. Don't do anything suspicious. Stay in the car until further orders."Samson chuckled when he saw the alliance troops. "I want to talk to the alliance leader now. Don't waste my time!"Jeremy clenched his fists tightly. He had a brief conversation with Henry Tolando over the phone. "I'll do it, sir."Jeremy sighed a long breath, getting out of the car with his bodyguards. "Dad," Jack murmured worriedly. He opened the door, but Tommy quickly held him back. "Get your hands off me, asshole!""Don't be a fool, Jack! Your dad will beat the shit out of you if he sees you get out of the car!" Tommy gripped Jack's hand tightly. "Look at
“Damn it! Samson didn't tell me at all if he and his troops managed to locate the whereabouts of that damn alliance member!” Lucas clenched his fists tightly, snorting in annoyance. “He didn't want me to succeed in capturing Dylan.”“Asshole! I was so focused on chasing Henry Tolando that I forgot about that stupid alliance!” Lucas smacked the windshield until it shook, kicking the driver's seat. “Faster!”“I understand, sir.”The group of cars continued to speed up, passing through the winding roads of the cliffs. Lucas was tense, looking at his watch every few seconds. He was so upset that his chest became tight. “The Miller family didn't want me to find Dylan in the first place. They just wanted to use me. They're so sneaky!” Lucas stared intently, trying to be as calm as possible. “Damn, I can't beat them now.”Liam was busy organizing his subordinates, and Levon kept trying to know the situation at the meeting location. Levon was surprised when he saw a video. “I managed to hac
The sound of gunfire was so loud. The birds immediately flew away, away from the meeting place.“Dad!” shouted Jack as he prepared to run, but Tommy quickly held him back.“Put your guns down!” screamed Samson as he aimed a shot at Jeremy. Jeremy froze in place, ignoring the drops of sweat falling from his forehead. “The next shot is going to hit your head, Jeremy!” Samson grunted in annoyance, glaring. “Who do you think you are, asshole! How dare you make a stupid deal with me and the Miller family! I'm pretty sure you and your stupid alliance know what I and my army can do now!”“What a jerk!” cursed Henry Tolando when he saw the video. “Why are you doing nothing, Dylan? Did you deliberately put the alliance in danger?”The group of cars continued to speed away. At the same time, Lucas Frangkrut and his troops were still on their way. “Samson didn't hesitate to open fire. Jeremy was lucky that Samson shot the air just now,” Davis muttered. Samson signaled his subordinates. The b
Lucas smiled and murmured, "Have Samson and the Miller family forces slaughtered those fools? That’s great news. I can focus on capturing Dylan now.""I’ve got information about Dylan’s whereabouts from the alliance. You don’t need to interfere in capturing Dylan anymore," said Samson.Lucas was suddenly silent. "What do you mean, Sir?""I don’t need your help anymore to capture Dylan. My forces and I will not get involved in your feud with the alliance."Lucas clenched his hands tightly. He cursed Samson in his heart. "Mr. Samson, I didn’t make any mistakes. I’ve done everything possible to catch Dylan. You can’t just relieve me of my duties like this.""Shut up, idiot!" Samson snapped. "I’m not the one who made this decision. Mr. Daniel, Donald, and the others ordered me to deliver this news to you.""Mr. Samson, but I….""I know you don’t want to lose the reward Mr. Daniel and the others promised you, Lucas. Even so, they’re still giving you a chance because you’ve helped them so f
The atmosphere in the secret room slowly calmed down. The members of the alliance seemed to be talking to each other. Even so, security was still very tight. Davis sat on a rock, watching the rushing waterfall. He still felt his heart beating fast as he recalled the events a few hours ago. “The man named Samson and the Miller family's army are dangerous. I saw Jeremy, Erwin, and several alliance members get scared and panic when they encountered them.”“Dylan showed up at the right time. If Samson insists on forcing the alliance, I'm sure the battle will be impossible to avoid. I don't know what will happen to me and the others now.”Davis clenched his fists tightly. “I feel strange about myself. I should be happy that the Miller family captured Dylan because I'm still part of their family. But, on the other hand, I feel like they shouldn't have arrested Dylan.”“I need to know who Dylan is.” Davis opened the hologram screen, chuckling when the system did not give him the informatio
