The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 11. The Power Play
Elijah leaned back in his seat, a sly smile on his face, calculating the answer for Sophia.She looked at him, her eyes searching."Elijah," she began, "you must be someone important to get that kind of respect from Lando Yale. Are you a big deal?"Elijah shook his head, his expression turning serious."No, Sophia," he said softly."I’m just an orphan. The Emperor's residence isn't mine. It belongs to a friend. I’m only staying there for a while."Sophia reached over and took his hand, squeezing it gently."You don’t need to explain, Elijah," she said, her voice kind."I’m your family now. We’re in this together. I’ll earn enough to take care of both of us."Elijah chuckled, his eyes softening."You’re something else, Sophia," he said."But trust me, I’m not a man who needs taking care of."Sophia smiled, her eyes warm."I don’t care," she replied."You took care of me when I had nothing. Now, it’s my turn."Then she grinned by elbowing Elijah softly."C'mon, now you are my man. So, le
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 12. The Call That Changed Everything
Lily rushed into the room, her eyes wide with excitement."Grandfather, you need to see this," she said, shoving her phone in front of Ethan.The news blared on the screen: "Emperor Group Signs a One Billion Dollar Deal with Sophia Donald!"Ethan’s eyes widened, his hand trembling as he took the phone."One billion dollars?" he muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.His expression quickly shifted from shock to a broad grin."Sophia, you’ve done it! You’ve made our family proud!"Sophia smiled politely."Thank you, Grandfather," she replied, glancing at Elijah.She took a deep breath, preparing to tell them that the bet was made between them so she could be Elijah's wife forever.Just as she opened her mouth, the door burst open."Sophia!"May, her mother, stormed in, her eyes darting to Alan."Alan, what do you think of my daughter?" she asked.Her voice was sugary sweet as if she were showing off a prized possession."Isn’t she perfect for you?"Sophia's face turned red with embar
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 13. The Rise and Fall
Alan stood in the driveway, his face ashen.He was still reeling from Lando Yale’s words when his phone buzzed again.His father, Kelvin Shaw, was shouting, his voice filled with panic and fury."Alan! The Fire Dragon Group is collapsing!" Kelvin barked."Our stock is plummeting. The Emperor Group has cut all ties, and our partners are withdrawing left and right. If this continues, we’ll be bankrupt by the end of the day!"Alan’s knees buckled."What?" he gasped."No, this can’t be happening! Father, there must be something we can do!""Fix this mess, Alan!" Kelvin shouted."Beg if you have to! Just don’t come back until it’s done!"The call disconnected, leaving Alan in stunned silence.His face turned pale as he realized the severity of the situation.The mighty Shaw family was on the brink of collapse, and it was all because of him.He stumbled forward, his legs weak."Sophia, please," he cried, dropping to his knees."I beg you! Ask Mr. Yale to spare the Shaw family. We’ll do anyth
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 14. The Key
“Marshal, everything’s set for tonight,” Doug said, a determined glint in his eyes.“The Shaw family estate is buzzing with activity. Looks like they’re gearing up for a big show.”Elijah nodded, his face cold and serious.“Good. Tonight, we reclaim what’s ours,” he said firmly.“Lava Heart belongs to the Norton family. It’s time to take it back.”Doug grinned.“Understood, Marshal. I’ll get the car ready. Are you planning to make a grand entrance or sneak in quietly?”Elijah smirked.“We’ll see how it plays out. Either way, the Shaws won’t know what hit them.”...After a long day at work, Sophia returned home, a mix of excitement and nerves swirling in her chest.She rifled through her closet, pulling out dress after dress, trying to find the perfect one for tonight’s auction.She knew the event would be tense, especially given the Shaw family’s recent downfall.As she slipped into an elegant, deep blue evening gown, she noticed Elijah leaning against the doorway, his intense gaze on
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 15. The Auction's Trap
The grand hall of the Atlanta Auction House was buzzing with murmurs and laughter as Arthurton's elites gathered for the evening’s event.The Shaw family, despite their recent downfall, still commanded a certain level of respect because of Zack Shaw. His reputation as a general of the Western Legion preceded him, and many in the room came out of both curiosity and fear. Among the crowd, masked figures moved with purpose.Elijah and Doug, disguised under sleek black masks, entered quietly.Elijah’s gaze was cold and indifferent as he surveyed the room. Doug followed closely behind, his eyes sharp as they scanned the crowd."Zack Shaw may have power," Doug muttered under his breath, "but he's nothing compared to you, Marshal."Elijah gave a slight nod, his attention focused elsewhere."Let them play their games," he replied quietly."We’re here for one thing, and nothing will stop us from getting it."As they made their way through the auction house, there was a sudden shift in the atmo
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 16. Broken by Fear
Ethan walked out of the underground base, his footsteps echoing in the silence.He glanced back once, his face cold and expressionless. Zack Shaw’s threats still lingered in the air, but Ethan knew he had to do something.His mind was already working on which asset can be valuable, it’s not that he was poor but arranging such a huge amount was not a piece of apple for him.However, there was no option as saving his family was required and that stupid Sophia caused this.Back inside the base, Zack Shaw stood over Sophia’s unconscious body, his eyes filled with malice.“Take her to the other room,” Zack ordered his men, pointing to a small, dimly lit chamber down the hall.Two soldiers lifted Sophia and carried her into the room, laying her on a cold, metal chair.Zack followed closely behind, grabbing a bucket of ice water from the corner.He dumped the freezing water onto her face.Sophia jolted awake with a gasp, shivering uncontrollably.Her eyes were wide with panic, and she struggl
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 17. The Public Spectacle
"Bring her out," Zack ordered, his voice sharp as he waved his hand.His men nodded and immediately went to drag Sophia from the room, her body limp and weakened from the pain.She tried to resist, her legs barely working, but they yanked her forward without care.The cold cement scraped against her feet as they pulled her through the narrow halls, leaving a small trail of blood behind.Sophia's mind was a whirlwind of fear and exhaustion.Her face throbbed from where Zack had cut her, and each step sent waves of pain shooting up her legs.She couldn’t think clearly. Everything hurt.Outside, the auction hall was alive with activity. Arthurton's elites mingled and laughed, pretending to enjoy the lavish event, but everyone knew why they were really there—to gain Zack Shaw's favor.The fake "Lava Heart" painting, damaged as it was, had just been brought out for bidding.Despite its obvious flaws, the elites were eagerly placing bids, each one higher than the last.“Forty million!” someo
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 18. Unmasking the Dragon
"Help me!" Sophia's voice cracked as she collapsed onto the stage, her frail body shaking with sobs.Her cries echoed through the room, but no one moved.The crowd of elites, once so eager to please Zack Shaw, now watched in horror, their faces pale.The brutal display of power from the Shaw family had left everyone frozen in place.One of Zack's men approached Sophia, a knife gleaming in his hand.He smiled coldly as he crouched down, pressing the blade to her throat."This is what happens to those who cross the Shaw family," he growled, tightening his grip on the handle.Sophia’s tears streamed down her face, her eyes wide with terror as the knife dug into her skin."Please, no!" she whimpered, her voice barely audible.The crowd gasped, some turning their heads, unable to watch.The tension in the air was suffocating, and no one dared move.Zack Shaw stood nearby, arms crossed, watching with a smug expression. This was exactly the message he wanted to send—total fear and submission.

205. Pieces of the Puzzle
Elijah sat in his study at Arthur Palace, the atmosphere thick with tension. The assassin’s sigil was etched into his mind, a symbol that held too many unanswered questions. Doug entered quietly, carrying a folder of findings.“Marshal, we’ve recovered items from the assassin’s possession,” Doug said, placing the folder on the table. “There’s a map with marked locations and some coded notes. All of it points to connections with Evendore’s elite.”Elijah leaned forward, his piercing gaze fixed on the documents. “Elite? Are we talking about government officials or high-ranking businessmen?”“Both,” Doug replied. “It seems this shadow group has infiltrated eve

Elijah stood by the window, staring out at the city as the first rays of sunlight pierced the skyline. Doug entered quietly, his steps deliberate.“Marshal, we’ve confirmed movement from the assassin,” Doug said, holding a tablet displaying surveillance footage. “They’ve been seen near the eastern district. Likely scouting routes to get closer to Mrs. Norton.”Elijah turned, his expression grim. “Then we don’t have much time. Keep all units on standby, and double the security around Sophia.”Doug nodded. “Already done, sir.”Just then, Sophia entered the room, her presence immediately commanding at

203. A Trusted Betrayal
Elijah stood in the dimly lit room, his arms crossed as he stared down the double agent. The man sat in a chair, bound but not entirely subdued. His eyes flickered nervously between Elijah and Doug, who stood a few steps behind, his usual stoic demeanor replaced with barely concealed disdain.“You’ve got one chance to explain yourself,” Elijah said, his voice low and sharp. “Start talking.”The man licked his lips, his hands trembling. “They came to me months ago. I didn’t know who they were at first, just that they had resources and reach. They knew everything about my family. They threatened to kill them if I didn’t cooperate.”Sophia, standing by the wall, narrowed her eyes. &l

202. The Masked Threat
Elijah stood by the window of his study, his gaze fixed on the city lights below. His phone buzzed on the desk, its insistent vibration breaking the heavy silence. He picked it up, glancing at the unknown number flashing across the screen. “Elijah Norton,” he answered coolly. A distorted voice crackled through the line. “Marshal, your meddling has gone too far. Stand down, or you’ll lose everything you hold dear.” Elijah’s grip on the phone tightened. “Who are you?” The voice chuckled, low and menacing. “A representative of balance. Walk away, and you might salvage what’s left. Continue, and Sophia Norton will pay the price.” Elijah’s jaw clenched. “If you touch her, I’ll burn your entire operation to the ground. You’ve made a mistake coming after my family.” The voice laughed again before the line went dead. Doug entered the study moments later, his expression tense. “Marshal, we’ve intercepted chatter about a potential breach at Mrs. Norton’s office. I’ve dispatched a

201. A New Adversary
Elijah sat in his study, the mysterious crest resting on the desk before him. Its foreign symbol gleamed under the soft light, mocking him with its ambiguity. Doug stood nearby, his hands clasped behind his back, watching his Marshal’s every movement.“This symbol,” Elijah murmured, tracing it with his finger, “it doesn’t belong to any known family in Evendore. It’s deliberate—meant to confuse and provoke.”Doug cleared his throat. “Sir, I’ve been digging into the archives and surveillance logs. It’s tied to an organization that operates outside Evendore’s jurisdiction. They’re elusive—an umbrella for various power players.”Elijah’s eyes

200. A Fragile Peace
Evendore was alive with celebration. The city’s streets were flooded with joy, music, and laughter, a stark contrast to the chaos of recent months. Nathaniel Thompson’s defeat had brought relief to the people, and for the first time in what felt like ages, there was hope in the air. But inside Arthur Palace, Elijah Norton felt anything but peace. In his study, Elijah stood by the window, gazing at the flickering city lights. His hand rested on the Norton crest engraved into his desk, his fingers tracing the design absentmindedly. The room was dimly lit, the only sounds the crackling of the fireplace and the faint hum of the celebration outside. “Marshal.” Doug’s voice broke the silence as he entered the study. In his hand was a dossier filled with intelligence reports. “The situation is more complicated than we hoped.” Elijah turned to face him, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp. “Let me guess—Nathaniel’s shadow still lingers?” Doug nodded grimly. “Yes, sir. We’ve i

The air around Nathaniel’s hideout was heavy with tension. Elijah, Sophia, and Doug stood at the entrance of the compound, their determination palpable. The Lava’s Heart was within reach, but so was Nathaniel’s final gambit."Marshal," Doug said, his voice low but firm, "our team is in position. We’ll cover you and Mrs. Norton from all sides."Elijah nodded, his eyes fixed on the sprawling structure ahead. "This ends today," he said, his voice steady but laced with resolve.Sophia stepped closer to him, her hand brushing his. "Whatever happens, I’m with you, Elijah," she said softly, her eyes filled with unwavering support.Elijah tu

198. The Pursuit
The call came through at dawn. Elijah stood at the window of Arthur Palace, his jaw tightening as Doug relayed the situation. "Marshal, Nathaniel’s forces are moving on multiple fronts. They’ve hit one of Sophia’s key manufacturing sites and are making a push toward the palace. We’ve also got reports of an assault on Lando Yale’s headquarters." Elijah turned from the window, his eyes blazing with determination. "He’s desperate. He’s throwing everything he has at us because he knows we’re closing in." Doug nodded. "We’ve already begun mobilizing defenses, sir. But Nathaniel’s got numbers on his side." Elijah’s hand clenched into a fist. "Numbers won’t matter. He’s underestimated what we’re willing to fight for." ...Sophia entered the room, her face set with resolve despite the chaos. "I’ve just heard. They’re targeting one of my main factories. I need to go there." Elijah stepped toward her, his voice firm but gentle. "It’s too dangerous. You’ve already done enough—" "En

197. The Nexus of Power
Evendore’s central district buzzed with life, a stark contrast to the tension that weighed on Elijah and Sophia. They stood before an unassuming building cloaked in the shadows of towering skyscrapers.“This is it,” Elijah murmured, studying the faded blueprints on his tablet. The artifact’s engravings had pointed them here—a nexus that seemed forgotten by time yet central to Nathaniel’s plans.Sophia peered at the intricate carvings on the building’s arched entrance. “It doesn’t look like much. Are we sure this is where the remaining pieces are hidden?”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Nathaniel doesn’t make mistakes. If the artifact led us here, this is the place
