The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 164. Ambush at the Gala
The grand hall of the gala was alight with glittering chandeliers and the hum of conversation. Sophia moved gracefully among the guests, her poise unwavering as she greeted influential figures and allies of her business. Elijah stood at a distance, dressed sharply in his James Hamesworth persona, his piercing eyes scanning the crowd for any hint of danger. “Marshal,” Doug’s voice crackled in his earpiece. “Operatives are in position. All entry points are covered.” “Good,” Elijah murmured, keeping his voice low. His gaze followed Sophia as she engaged in a conversation near the central table. “Keep eyes on her at all times.” “Yes, Sir,” Doug replied. Elijah’s intuition was on high alert. The syndicate had proven bold before, and he knew they wouldn’t pass up an opportunity like this. ...Sophia’s laughter rang out as she exchanged pleasantries with an executive. Her calm demeanor masked the tension simmering beneath the surface. She was acutely aware of Elijah’s protective pr
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 165. The Traitor Within
The room was dimly lit, the air tense with expectation. Elijah leaned against the table, arms crossed, his piercing gaze fixed on the man handcuffed to the chair before him. The captured syndicate member looked smug despite his predicament, a smirk playing on his lips as though he held the upper hand. “You’ve been cooperative so far,” Elijah began, his tone calm but laced with steel. “Don’t ruin that streak now. Who’s been feeding you information about us?” The man chuckled, shaking his head. “You think I’m going to spill everything because you ask nicely, Marshal? You don’t scare me.” Elijah stepped forward, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “I should. Because if you think the syndicate is dangerous, you haven’t seen what I’m capable of.” The smirk faltered slightly, and the man’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. ...In another part of the palace, Sophia paced the library, her mind racing. She couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that someone close to her was working
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 166. Lines of Deception
Sophia stood in the grand parlor of the Donald estate, her voice firm as she faced Reno and Hague. The tension in the air was palpable, and the weight of her accusations pressed on everyone present. “You’re hiding something,” Sophia said, her eyes narrowing at Hague. “I know it. Every time something happens, you two are conveniently involved or conveniently absent.” Reno smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Sophia, really? Do you think we’d risk everything for… what exactly?” “For power,” Sophia snapped, her gaze darting between them. “For control. For whatever game you’ve been playing with my life and Elijah’s.” Hague, standing by the fireplace, folded his arms. “Watch your tone, Sophia. You’ve always been quick to point fingers when things don’t go your way.” Her jaw tightened. “Don’t you dare twist this. People have died because of these betrayals. If you’re involved—” “We’re not involved,” Hague interrupted, his voice low and cold. “And I suggest you stop looking for g
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 167. A Family Divided
Sophia stood in the grand hall of the Donald estate, her heart pounding as Hague entered with his usual air of aloof authority. Elijah was beside her, his stance protective but composed, his piercing gaze locked onto Hague. “We need to talk,” Sophia began, her voice firm but tinged with unease. Hague’s brows arched as he took a seat by the ornate fireplace. “Ah, another lecture about family loyalty? Go on, Sophia. Enlighten me.” Elijah stepped forward, his tone cutting through the tension. “This isn’t about loyalty, Hague. It’s about betrayal. We know what you’ve been doing.” Hague leaned back, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “Betrayal, you say? Strong words, Norton. And what exactly do you think I’ve done?” Sophia stepped forward, her fists clenched. “Don’t act coy. We have evidence—messages, transactions, surveillance. You’ve been working with the syndicate, feeding them information about me, about Elijah.” Hague’s expression darkened slightly, but he didn’t flinch. “
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 168. The Syndicate’s Mastermind
Elijah sat in his study, the faint hum of Doug’s voice coming through the comm device on the desk. His eyes scanned a dossier filled with photographs and notes linking Hague to the syndicate. Each page intensified his suspicion, the puzzle pieces falling into place. “Marshal,” Doug’s voice crackled through. “I’ve traced Hague’s communications to a specific group. The leader isn’t just any name—it’s someone tied to the Thompson Accord. And there’s more. We have a location.”Elijah leaned closer to the speaker. “What location, Doug?”“A warehouse on the city outskirts. They’re meeting tonight. High-level operatives from the syndicate will be present.”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Good work. Prepare the team for surveillance. I want every detail logged. No mistakes.”“Yes, Sir.”He disconnected the line, his gaze shifting to the faint glow of city lights beyond the window. The name tied to the syndicate leader lingered in his mind—a name he hadn’t seen in years but one that carried weight.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 169. The Ghost from the Past
The warehouse was cloaked in shadows, the faint hum of machinery blending with murmurs from within. Elijah adjusted his jacket, the faint weight of his concealed weapon a steady reminder of the danger ahead. Doug lingered nearby, eyes scanning the perimeter for any signs of trouble.“Marshal,” Doug whispered, his tone cautious. “You’re certain about this? Infiltrating without backup could expose your identity.”Elijah’s gaze didn’t waver. “We need to confirm it’s him, Doug. If Nathaniel Thompson is truly alive, this could be the break we’ve been waiting for.”Doug nodded, his respect evident. “Understood, Sir. I’ll be nearby, monitoring your position.”Elijah slipped inside, blending seamlessly with the small crowd of individuals gathered near the dimly lit center of the warehouse. The atmosphere was tense, the air thick with the weight of whispered alliances and veiled intentions. ...Meanwhile, back at Arthur Palace, Sophia sat in her study, a stack of old family documents spread
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 170. Threads of Betrayal
The brisk night air stung Elijah’s face as he slipped through the narrow alleyway behind the warehouse. His movements were calculated, each step cloaked in silence. The syndicate meeting had been as dangerous as it was illuminating, but the risks had paid off. His mind churned with the intelligence he had gathered.“Marshal, are you clear?” Doug’s voice crackled through his earpiece, steady and composed as always.“Yes,” Elijah replied, his tone low but firm. “I have enough to start unraveling their next move. Pull back the team and meet me at the fallback point.”“Understood, Sir,” Doug responded. “We’ve got you covered.”
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 171. The Invitation
Elijah leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming rhythmically on the wooden desk. The tension in the air was palpable, as Doug stood nearby, his usual calm demeanor masking concern. “This meeting could be a trap,” Doug stated matter-of-factly. “Nathaniel isn’t the type to play fair, Marshal. If you go, you’ll be walking into his arena on his terms.” Elijah nodded, his gaze fixed on the glowing phone screen where Nathaniel’s message remained open. “It’s a risk I have to take, Doug. If I don’t, we lose any chance of getting ahead of him.” Doug sighed, stepping closer. “Then let me prepare the team. We’ll secure the perimeter and provide backup.” “No,” Elijah replied firmly, his voice steady. “This has to be face-to-face. No distractions. He needs to believe I’m alone.” A soft knock interrupted their conversation. Sophia entered, her determined expression leaving no room for debate. “You’re not going alone,” she said, her tone resolute. Elijah rose, shaking his head. “

220. The Quinn Ultimatum
“You’re too late,” the lieutenant sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. “Alexander’s plan is already in motion.”Elijah’s jaw tightened, but his voice was calm. “Talk. Now. Or I’ll ensure you wish we were late.”The man shifted in his chair, glancing between Elijah and Sophia. “He’s targeting the core of Evendore—your political leaders, your business moguls. All of it. He’s got dirt on everyone, enough to bring the whole system to its knees.”Sophia crossed her arms, her sharp gaze pinning him in place. “And how exactly is he pulling this off? What’s his endgame?”The lieutenant smirked, though the sweat on his brow betrayed him. “Blackmail. Sabotage. He’s already got people in your circles working for him—wil

219. The Battle for Evendore
The atmosphere at Arthur Palace was tense, with the air buzzing with urgency. Doug stood before Elijah, briefing him on the latest developments.“Marshal, the Quinn family has launched simultaneous attacks. Arthur Palace and Sophia’s headquarters are primary targets,” Doug reported, his tone grim but composed. “We’ve already deployed additional security, but their forces are relentless.”Elijah’s expression hardened. “They’re trying to dismantle everything we’ve built. They’ll regret this miscalculation.”Sophia entered the room, her presence commanding. “Elijah, I’ve doubled the cybersecurity team and evacuated non-essential staff. My people are holding strong, but this is more than a

218. A Treacherous Alliance
Elijah sat across from Alexander Quinn in a private room of a luxury restaurant, the air thick with tension. The Quinn patriarch exuded an air of smug confidence, his tailored suit and composed demeanor betraying none of the chaos his family had caused.“Elijah,” Alexander began smoothly, swirling his wine glass. “Let’s put the theatrics aside. We’re both men of ambition, driven by legacy and loyalty. It doesn’t have to end in bloodshed.”Elijah’s expression remained cold, his piercing eyes locked on Alexander. “You targeted Sophia, disrupted her business, and infiltrated my life. What makes you think I’ll entertain anything you have to say?”Alexander leaned forward slightly, a sly grin tugging at his l

217. Into the Lion’s Den
The air in the safehouse was damp and heavy with the smell of rust and stale cigarette smoke. Elijah moved silently through the dimly lit corridors, Doug trailing just a step behind him. The muffled voices of Alexander Quinn’s operatives grew louder as they approached the central room. Doug gestured toward the door, his voice low. “Marshal, I count five inside, two armed. If we move now, we’ll have the element of surprise.”Elijah nodded, his jaw tightening. “Make it clean. We need intel, not a bloodbath.”With a swift kick, Elijah forced the door open. The operatives inside scrambled, two reaching for their weapons. Doug moved quickly, disarming one with a precise shot to the hand, while Elijah subdued another with a calculated strike to the jaw.“Don’t try it,” Elijah warned the remaining operatives, his cold gaze sweeping over them. “Hands where I can see them. Now.”The operatives hesitated but complied, their hands rising slowly. Doug stepped forward, binding their wrists with z

216. The Corporate Attack
Sophia paced her office, her face a mask of focused determination as reports of the cyberattack flooded in. “How bad is it?” she asked sharply, her voice cutting through the tension in the room. One of her IT specialists looked up from a screen filled with cascading lines of code. “They’ve breached the perimeter defenses. Whoever is behind this knows exactly where to hit us—our client database, financial records, operational plans.” Elijah entered the room with Doug in tow, his expression dark. “Any leads on where the attack is coming from?” The IT specialist shook his head. “Not yet, but they’re fast. If we don’t counter soon, they’ll wipe us out.” “Not on my watch,” Elijah said grimly. He turned to Doug. “We need someone who can outmatch them.” Doug nodded. “I’ve already contacted Riley. She’s the best we’ve got for this kind of work. She’ll be here within the hour, sir.” Sophia crossed her arms, her jaw tight. “This has Alexander’s fingerprints all over it. He’s coming

215. The Quinn Gambit
The ballroom glittered with opulence, the gala teeming with Evendore’s elite. Elijah scanned the crowd, his gaze sharp and unwavering. Doug stood a few paces behind him, blending into the background but ready for any sign of trouble. Sophia, resplendent in a midnight-blue gown, was speaking to a group of investors, her charm effortlessly commanding the room. Then Elijah spotted him—Alexander Quinn. Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, Alexander exuded an air of confidence that bordered on arrogance. His smile was polite but calculated, a mask that hinted at the sharp mind beneath. Elijah’s jaw tightened as he made his way across the room, his every step purposeful. “Mr. Quinn,” Elijah greeted, his tone cool. “I’ve been meaning to have a word with you.” Alexander turned, his smile widening as though he’d been expecting this. “Marshal Norton,” he replied smoothly, extending a hand. “A pleasure. Your reputation precedes you.” Elijah ignored the gesture, his piercing gaze fix

214. A Shadow Returns
The grand doors of Arthur Palace creaked open as Elijah and Sophia stepped inside, their brief retreat leaving them refreshed but wary of what awaited them. Doug was already waiting in the main hall, his posture rigid, a grim expression on his face. “Marshal,” Doug began, nodding as Elijah approached. “We have a situation. The Quinn family is making moves again.” Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Go on.” Doug gestured for them to follow as he laid out a folder on the study table. “Alexander Quinn, one of the younger members of the family, arrived in Evendore three days ago. He’s presenting himself as a legitimate businessman—charity events, high-profile meetings—but we’ve traced several questionable dealings back to him. He’s quietly rebuilding their influence.” Sophia leaned over the table, scanning the documents. “The Quinns always did have a knack for masking their intentions. What’s their endgame?” Doug sighed, his fingers tapping the edge of the table. “It’s too early to tell, b

213. A Passionate Retreat
The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains of the villa, casting a golden glow across the room. Sophia stretched lazily in bed, her fingers brushing the cool silk sheets. She glanced to her side and found Elijah already dressed, standing by the open balcony doors. The breeze tousled his hair as he looked out over the ocean.“Good morning, Marshal,” Sophia said with a teasing lilt, propping herself up on her elbow.Elijah turned, his face softening when he saw her. “Morning, love. I thought I’d let you sleep in after last night.”Sophia smiled, memories of their tender moments flooding her mind. “You’re too kind, but I’d rather spend every second with you.”Elijah walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Then let’s make the most of today. No plans, no distractions—just us.”They spent the morning exploring the villa’s expansive grounds. Sophia laughed as Elijah tried his hand at cooking breakfast, resulting in slightly overcooked om

212. Rekindling the Flame
The sun hung low over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and gold as Elijah guided Sophia into the villa. The property was secluded, perched atop a hill with a view of the sparkling ocean below. Soft breezes rustled the curtains as Sophia stepped inside, marveling at the tranquil beauty of the place.“Elijah,” she said, turning to him with a smile. “You’ve outdone yourself this time.”“I thought we deserved a little escape,” Elijah replied, setting their bags down. “No threats, no plans, no enemies—just us.”Sophia’s heart warmed at his words. “It’s perfect. Thank you.”They spent the afternoon exploring the villa’s grounds. The infinity pool shimmered under the fading sunlight, and lush gardens surrounded the property, offering privacy and a sense of peace they hadn’t felt in weeks.Later, as the evening fell, Elijah surprised Sophia with a candlelit dinner set up on the terrace. Strings of fairy lights cast a soft glow, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks
