The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 185. Preparing for another Battle
The air in Arthur Palace was heavy with anticipation. Elijah paced the grand study, his gaze fixed on the map spread across the table. Marked locations highlighted Nathaniel’s movements and the syndicate’s known assets. Doug stood by his side, his expression grim but determined.“Marshal,” Doug began, breaking the silence, “we’ve confirmed Nathaniel’s stronghold. It’s located beneath the old industrial district. The area is heavily fortified—guards, traps, everything you’d expect from someone like him.”Elijah nodded, his voice calm yet resolute. “Then we prepare for war. Gather the men. I want detailed plans on every access point and exit. No mistakes.”“Y
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 186. Into the Stronghold
The air in the industrial district was thick with tension as Elijah and his team approached the entrance to Nathaniel’s stronghold. The hidden base was a sprawling maze of reinforced tunnels and rooms buried beneath the city’s forgotten structures. Doug knelt near the entrance, scanning the perimeter with a compact thermal device. “Marshal, we’ve got movement. Syndicate guards patrolling the outer perimeter—lightly armed but alert.” Elijah crouched beside him, his voice steady. “Take them out silently. We can’t afford to lose the element of surprise.” Doug gave a curt nod, signaling the operatives positioned nearby. Within minutes, the guards were neutralized, their bodies hidden among the shadows. ...Sophia, equipped with a communication device, spoke through her earpiece from her vantage point. “The schematics show a secondary entrance near the northern wall. If we can bypass the main corridor, we’ll avoid the heavier defenses.” “Good work, Sophia,” Elijah replied. “Stay
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 187. The Confrontation
Elijah stepped into the cavernous room, the air heavy with the weight of years of betrayal and vengeance. At the far end, Nathaniel stood, his posture exuding confidence. The Lava’s Heart glimmered ominously in a display case behind him, its fiery hues casting flickering shadows on the walls.“Welcome, Elijah,” Nathaniel drawled, his tone dripping with mockery. “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show.”“I’m not here for your theatrics,” Elijah said coldly, his piercing gaze fixed on the man who had orchestrated so much destruction. “It’s over, Nathaniel. The syndicate is finished.”Nathaniel chuckled, a low, menacing sound. “Finished? Oh, Elijah, you mi
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 188. Another Hidden Heirloom
The warm light of dawn bathed Arthur Palace in a soft glow, a welcome contrast to the tumultuous days behind them. In the heart of the grand hall, Sophia stood by the large bay windows, gazing out at Evendore’s skyline. Her company’s emblem glinted on a nearby tablet—a symbol of her resilience and determination. Elijah entered quietly, his footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. He approached her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. “You’ve done it,” he murmured, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Your company’s stronger than ever. Evendore’s healing because of you.” Sophia leaned into his embrace, her voice soft. “We’ve done it, Elijah. Together. I wouldn’t have made it without you.” He smiled faintly, pressing a kiss to her temple. “I wouldn’t have let you fall.” Sophia turned to face him, her hands sliding up to rest on his chest. “The same goes for you. Every time you doubted yourself, every time the weight of your family’s legacy tried to break you—you stood
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 189. The Blackwood Mystery
The morning sun struggled to pierce through the dense canopy of the forest surrounding Blackwood Manor. The once-proud estate stood in ruin, its skeletal remains cloaked in creeping ivy and shadows. Elijah and Sophia approached cautiously, the crunch of leaves beneath their boots the only sound in the stillness. “This place feels alive,” Sophia whispered, her voice laced with unease. “It holds memories,” Elijah replied, scanning the area. “And secrets that shouldn’t have been forgotten.” They stepped through the crumbling archway of the manor, its grand entrance reduced to a hollowed-out shell. Dust motes danced in the dim light filtering through shattered windows. The faint scent of decay lingered in the air. Sophia knelt by a fractured column, running her fingers over faded carvings. “These inscriptions… they’re Norton symbols, aren’t they?” Elijah nodded, crouching beside her. “They’re markers. They’ll lead us to something.” After several hours of exploring the ruins, t
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 190. A Night of Comfort
The moonlight spilled into their suite through the tall windows, casting soft silver streaks across the room. Elijah closed the door behind them, his shoulders heavy from the day’s trials. Sophia dropped onto the plush couch, kicking off her boots with a sigh. “Today was…” she trailed off, resting her head against the back of the couch. “More than enough,” Elijah finished, sitting beside her. He studied her face, the faint shadows beneath her eyes revealing her weariness. “You were incredible, Sophia. Brave, resourceful… you never faltered.” Sophia smiled faintly, turning her head to meet his gaze. “I didn’t feel brave, Elijah. When that vault started collapsing, I thought… I thought I might not make it out.” “But you did,” he said firmly, reaching for her hand. His thumb brushed against her knuckles, grounding her. “And you fought every step of the way.” Sophia exhaled shakily, squeezing his hand. “I wasn’t afraid of dying,” she admitted quietly. “I was afraid of leaving yo
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 191. Syndicate’s Strike
The morning sun barely had time to rise over the city when Doug entered Elijah’s study, his expression grave. “Marshal, we’ve got a situation,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency.Elijah looked up from the map of Norton properties spread across his desk. “What’s happened?”“Syndicate agents,” Doug said, handing over a dossier. “They’ve been targeting key locations tied to the Nortons and Sophia’s company. The latest intel suggests an attack on her office.”Elijah’s jaw tightened, his eyes scanning the pages. “Sophia’s office?” he repeated, his voice hardening.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 192. A Dangerous Proposal
“Elijah, you have to let me do this,” Sophia said firmly, standing across from him in the dimly lit war room at Arthur Palace. Her arms were crossed, her gaze unyielding. Elijah leaned forward, placing his hands on the table as he studied the map laid out before them. “Sophia, this isn’t just dangerous—it’s reckless. Nathaniel is waiting for us to make a mistake, and putting you in his line of sight is exactly what he wants.” Sophia’s eyes softened for a moment, but her voice remained steady. “If we keep waiting, he’ll destroy everything we’ve worked for. The syndicate is losing ground, and this is our chance to end it. You said it yourself—Nathaniel won’t stop unless we force him out of hiding.” Elijah straightened, his jaw tightening. “And you want to use yourself as bait?” “Yes,” she said without hesitation. “But not without precautions. I trust you and Doug to ensure this plan works.” Doug, standing nearby, cleared his throat. “Marshal, with all due respect, Mrs. Norton

227. The Toxin’s Secret
“Marshal, I’ve sorted through the files,” Doug said, placing a stack of decoded documents on the table in Elijah’s study. “There’s something you need to see.”Elijah leaned over the papers, his eyes scanning the pages quickly. The intricate diagrams, charts, and notes painted a chilling picture. He paused at one particular section, his jaw tightening.“Genetic engineering,” he muttered. “Sophia’s anomaly… it wasn’t a natural occurrence. This was deliberate.”Doug frowned. “Deliberate, sir? By who?”“A faction operating in secrecy for generations,” Elijah replied, tapping one of the documents. “They altered bloodlines, ensuring specific traits would emerge. Sophia’s genetic profile is the culmination of their work.”Sophia, resting nearby on a chaise, shifted uncomfortably. Her color was slowly returning, but her movements were still weak. “So… I’m a science experiment?”Elijah turned toward her, his voice softening. “No. You’re a person, Sophia. What they did doesn’t define you.”Soph

“Marshal, we’re in position,” Doug said, his voice steady but low over the comms.Elijah crouched behind a stack of rusted barrels outside the hidden lab, his sharp eyes scanning the perimeter. The building was larger than he’d anticipated, its industrial design masking the horrors it held inside.“Move on my signal,” Elijah replied. He glanced at the team, their faces determined but tense. “Stay sharp. This isn’t just another stronghold.”Sophia’s voice came through the comms from her safer location. “Elijah, remember to prioritize the evidence. We need to stop them from replicating the toxin.”“I haven’t forgotten,” Elijah said, a trace of softness breaking through h

225. The Arbiter Revealed
“Marshal, the target is in position,” Doug’s voice came through Elijah’s earpiece, calm but firm.Elijah adjusted the grip on his weapon, his eyes scanning the dimly lit alley where the lieutenant of The Arbiter was making his move. “Good. Wait for my signal. We don’t want to spook him.”The man they were tracking, a wiry figure with sharp features, stepped into a small warehouse. He glanced around nervously before slipping inside.Elijah moved swiftly, signaling Doug and the rest of the team to follow. They approached the entrance quietly, their steps precise. Elijah held up a hand, stopping the group before whispering, “Doug, take the side entrance. I’ll cover the main door.” The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal
224. The Betrayal Within
“Marshal,” Doug said, his voice low but urgent as he entered Elijah’s study. “We have a problem. A big one.”Elijah looked up from his notes, his expression immediately sharpening. “What is it, Doug?”Doug hesitated, then handed Elijah a tablet. “One of our own has been passing information about Mrs. Norton to The Arbiter. I traced communication logs and found encrypted messages. The mole has been under our noses the whole time.”Elijah’s jaw tightened as he read through the logs. “Who?”“It’s one of the junior operatives,” Doug replied. “Davis. He’s been with us for three years, but it seems he was turned months ago. I’ve already secured him in the holding room.”&nb

“Elijah!” Sophia’s voice wavered as she clutched the edge of the table, her legs buckling beneath her.Elijah was across the room in an instant, catching her before she hit the ground. “Sophia!” he said urgently, cradling her against his chest. “What’s wrong? Talk to me.”Her skin was burning to the touch, her breaths shallow and uneven. “I… don’t know,” she whispered, her eyelids fluttering. “I feel so… hot.”Elijah’s heart raced, but his voice was steady. “You’re going to be okay. I’ve got you.”Doug appeared in the doorway, his eyes widening at the scene. “Marshal, what happened?”“She’s burni

222. Sophia’s Genetic Profile
“Marshal, these files are extensive, but I think I’ve found something,” Doug said, placing a stack of documents on the table. His voice was steady, but there was a flicker of unease in his eyes.Elijah glanced up from his workstation, his sharp gaze locking onto Doug. “What is it?”Doug opened a folder, pointing to a diagram. “It’s a genetic profile tied to the toxin—Paragon. The notes suggest it was engineered to react differently based on specific markers. One of those markers... matches Sophia.”Elijah’s jaw tightened, and he leaned forward, studying the document. The intricate design of the toxin’s molecular structure was laid out in detail, annotated with cryptic notes and symbols. “Sophia’s genetic anomaly... they’ve known about it. They’ve been targeting her all along.”

“Marshal, we’re in position,” Doug whispered, crouching near the side entrance of Alexander’s stronghold. His rifle was steady in his hands, his eyes scanning the heavily guarded perimeter.Elijah nodded, his expression calm but intense. “Good. We stick to the plan. Sophia, stay close to me. Doug, cover the rear. We move fast and leave no loose ends.”Sophia adjusted the strap of her compact gear bag, a determined look on her face. “Let’s finish this.”The trio slipped through the side door, their movements silent and precise. The air inside was stale, and the dim lighting cast long, eerie shadows on the walls. Elijah led the way, his sharp eyes scanning every corner for signs of danger.

“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
