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
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 193. Shadows of Betrayal
Elijah stood in the quiet study at Arthur Palace, the fragment of the Lava’s Heart resting on the table before him. Its intricate carvings gleamed faintly under the lamplight, casting shadows across the room. Doug entered with measured steps, his face unreadable as he handed Elijah a sheet of paper. “Marshal, the translation of the initial symbols is incomplete,” Doug said. “But it’s clear—this points to someone close to the Nortons. Someone who betrayed the family.” Elijah’s jaw tightened as he scanned the partial code. “It’s always someone close, isn’t it?” he muttered, the bitterness in his tone unmistakable. Sophia stepped into the room, her gaze shifting between Elijah and Doug. “What have you found?” she asked, moving closer to examine the fragment. Elijah leaned back, running a hand through his hair. “It’s a coded message. It implicates someone who should have been an ally, but the identity is still unclear.” Sophia’s brows furrowed as she studied the fragment. “If th
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 194. A Romantic Respite
The secluded villa stood nestled among rolling hills, the golden glow of the setting sun spilling across the terrace. Sophia stepped out onto the balcony, her gaze sweeping over the tranquil landscape. The sound of the door clicking shut behind her drew her attention. She turned to see Elijah approaching, his expression softer than usual.“You didn’t have to do all this, Elijah,” she said with a small smile, gesturing to the villa. “But it’s perfect.”He stepped closer, his hand brushing hers as he leaned on the railing. “We needed this,” he said simply. “After everything, I thought you deserved a break—a moment to breathe.”Sophia turned her body toward him, searching his face. “And what about you? Don’t pretend you don’t need this just
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 195. A Web of Deceit
The warehouse loomed large against the pale morning light, its rusted exterior giving away little of the chaos brewing inside. Elijah stood at a distance, his sharp gaze scanning the perimeter as Doug briefed him on the latest intel. “Marshal,” Doug said, his tone serious as always, “we’ve confirmed that Nathaniel’s forces are smuggling weapons and possibly artifacts connected to the Lava’s Heart through this location. The security detail is heavier than usual. They know we’re coming.” Elijah nodded, his jaw tightening. “Then we’ll make them regret staying.” He turned to Sophia, who stood nearby, donning a vest over her sleek black outfit. “You don’t have to come in, Sophia,” he said softly, though his eyes betrayed his worry. She shot him a determined look. “I’ve fought too hard to back down now, Elijah. I’m coming with you.” His lips pressed into a thin line before he relented, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Stay close. Doug and I will cover you.” ...The oper
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 196. The Heart’s Keeper
The warehouse district was eerily silent as Elijah and Doug closed in on the location where Sophia was held. The faint signal from her tracking device had led them to a decrepit shipping yard at the edge of Evendore. “Marshal,” Doug said, lowering his binoculars as they crouched behind a stack of rusted crates, “I count eight armed men patrolling the perimeter. Likely more inside.” Elijah’s eyes were cold as he studied the area. “We move quickly. Take out the guards silently, and create a diversion if necessary. Sophia’s safety comes first.” Doug nodded. “Understood, sir.” ...The plan unfolded with precision. Elijah moved like a shadow, neutralizing two guards without a sound, while Doug created a distraction by triggering a stack of metal pipes to collapse on the far side of the yard. The sudden clatter drew several of the remaining guards away. Elijah slipped into the building, his senses on high alert. The air was thick with tension, and the faint hum of muffled voices l
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 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

210. The Prophecy Fulfilled
The artifact sat on the table between them, glowing faintly as its presence seemed to command attention from everyone in the room. Elijah, Sophia, Doug, and their closest allies gathered in the war room at Arthur Palace. Maps, documents, and intelligence reports covered the table, the final pieces of a plan to dismantle the shadow organization once and for all.Elijah leaned forward, his voice calm but firm. “This is where we make our stand. The artifact’s message is clear—it’s not just about power. It’s about unity and the future of Evendore. That future doesn’t include the remnants of this organization.”Doug nodded, his respect for Elijah evident in his tone. “Marshal, the team is ready. The leader’s forces are scattered, but they’re planning

209. The Artifact
The ruins of Elijah’s childhood estate stood eerily quiet, framed by overgrown foliage and the skeletal remains of its former grandeur. As the convoy rolled to a stop, the team stepped out, surveying the desolation. “This is it,” Elijah said, his voice steady but laced with unease. Sophia walked beside him, her hand brushing his arm for reassurance. “We’ll uncover the truth, Elijah.” Doug approached, carrying a detailed map on his tablet. “Marshal, we’ve identified an entrance beneath the main structure. It’s heavily reinforced, but with some effort, we can breach it.” “Then let’s move,” Elijah ordered, his resolve firm. ...The entrance led to a narrow, winding staircase that descended into darkness. The air grew colder as they ventured deeper, their flashlights cutting through the gloom. The walls were lined with faded carvings and inscriptions, depicting scenes of unity and conflict. Sophia paused, running her fingers over one of the carvings. “These symbols... they’re

208. A Hidden Legacy
Elijah stood in the hidden chamber, his fingers brushing against the worn edges of the records scattered across the desk. Dust motes danced in the dim light filtering through the cracks in the stone walls, but his attention was locked on the words before him. “Marshal,” Doug’s voice crackled over the radio, “security reports the attack teams have fully retreated. We’ve secured the perimeter.” “Good,” Elijah replied, his voice low. “I need you down here. There’s something I want you to see.” Minutes later, Doug joined him, his boots echoing against the stone floor as he entered the room. “This place…” Doug trailed off, scanning the shelves of ancient artifacts. “I didn’t even know this chamber existed.” “Neither did I,” Elijah admitted, holding up a faded letter. “But these records... They tell a story we’ve only scratched the surface of.” Doug leaned in, reading over Elijah’s shoulder. The letter detailed an alliance formed generations ago between the Norton family and a cla

207. The Network Unraveled
The early morning air was tense at Arthur Palace. Elijah stood in the strategy room, Doug by his side, their attention locked on a detailed map of Evendore. Red circles and lines crisscrossed the map, each marking a key point in the shadow organization’s network.“Marshal,” Doug began, his tone serious, “our intelligence confirms the syndicate is operating through multiple fronts. Their most critical assets are hidden in plain sight—financial hubs, trade routes, and even political offices.”Elijah’s jaw tightened as he studied the map. “If we take out these points, we’ll cut off their power at its roots. But they won’t go down without a fight.”Doug nodded. “I&rs

206. The Leader’s Grudge
Elijah sat in the study at Arthur Palace, the room dimly lit as he sifted through the documents Doug had recovered. Each piece of evidence painted a picture of a meticulously orchestrated campaign against the Nortons, with threads reaching back generations. The identity of the shadow organization’s leader remained elusive, but their motivations were beginning to surface. Doug entered the room, his expression grave. “Marshal, I think we’ve got something. The leader’s been operating under the alias ‘The Arbiter,’ but there’s more. They’ve been manipulating Evendore’s key players for decades, and it all seems to trace back to a grudge against your family.” Elijah looked up, his jaw tightening. “A grudge? What kind of grudge, Doug?” Doug placed a folder on the table. “It seems their family fell from grace generations ago, and they blame the Nortons for it. Financial ruin, social exile—it’s all tied to decisions made by your ancestors.” Elijah leaned back, his mind racing. “And now

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

204. The Assassin’s Trail
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
