The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 233. A New Adversary
“Elijah, I’ve got something,” Sophia said, her voice crackling through the comm. Elijah straightened, glancing up from the schematics spread across the table in front of him. “What did you find?” “The files I decrypted… they mention someone called ‘The Warden.’ Whoever they are, they’ve taken over what’s left of The Arbiter’s network—and they’re not stopping there.” Doug, standing nearby, frowned. “The Warden? Sounds like someone who runs a prison, sir.” Elijah nodded. “Maybe that’s the point. Someone who’s locking down power, consolidating control. Did you find anything else, Sophia?” “Yeah,” she said hesitantly. “It’s worse than we thought. The Warden’s using both The Arbiter’s resources and what’s left of the Quinns’. They’re targeting me specifically.”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Because of your genetic anomaly?” “That, and probably because I’m not backing down,” Sophia replied. Her voice held a mix of determination and frustration. Doug leaned closer. “Marshal, if they
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 234. The Fortress Infiltration
“Stay sharp. We only get one shot at this,” Elijah said, his voice low but commanding as the team crouched near the fortress’ outer wall. Doug adjusted his gear, scanning the high-tech security drones patrolling above. “Marshal, those sensors are advanced. Any false move, and we’re exposed.” “Then don’t make a false move,” Elijah replied, giving Doug a pointed look. Sophia, crouched beside them, tapped at her portable device. “I’ve got their surveillance system looped for thirty seconds. That’s all I can manage before it resets.” “Good enough,” Elijah said. “Everyone, move.”The team slipped through the gap in the defenses, staying low and silent. Inside, the fortress loomed with sleek, metallic walls and dim, ominous lighting. The air felt charged, as if the building itself was alive with tension. “Doug, take point,” Elijah instructed. “Yes, sir,” Doug said, his voice steady despite the pressure. They navigated the labyrinth of corridors, encountering increasingly compl
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 235. Sophia’s Relapse
“You don’t have to keep hovering, Elijah,” Sophia said, her voice thin as she leaned back in the chair. Elijah crouched in front of her, his eyes scanning her face. The pallor in her skin and the sheen of sweat on her forehead told him all he needed to know. “You collapsed, Sophia. That’s not something I can ignore.” Sophia waved a weak hand. “I’m fine. Just tired.” “No, you’re not,” Elijah said firmly. He straightened, crossing his arms. “And I won’t let you downplay this again.” Sophia sighed, rubbing her temples. “There’s too much to do. I can’t sit around when The Warden is still out there.”Doug entered the room, his expression concerned but controlled. “Sir, I brought the equipment you requested.” “Good. Set it up here,” Elijah said, motioning to the table. Doug quickly unpacked a portable diagnostic kit, arranging the tools with precision. “Is Miss Sophia okay, sir?” “She will be,” Elijah said, though his voice carried a hint of doubt. “I’m right here,” Sophia m
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 236. A Desperate Race
“Elijah, are you sure about this?” Doug asked as they crouched behind a boulder near the facility’s entrance. Elijah adjusted his gear, his face grim. “We don’t have a choice. If we don’t get inside and find that cure, Sophia’s condition will keep deteriorating.” Doug nodded, gripping his rifle tightly. “Understood, sir. I’ll cover you.” The lab was hidden deep in the forest, its steel walls blending into the rocky terrain. Armed guards patrolled the perimeter, their sharp eyes scanning the area. “Elijah,” Doug said in a low voice, pointing to a gap in the patrol route. “We can slip through there.” Elijah nodded. “Move fast and keep quiet.”The two men moved swiftly, weaving between shadows and avoiding the guards. As they approached the entrance, Doug dispatched a sentry with silent precision, clearing the path. “Door’s locked,” Doug whispered, examining the keypad. Elijah pulled out a small device from his bag. “Not for long. Keep watch.” Within seconds, the lock cli
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 237. A Delicate Procedure
“Elijah, are you sure this will work?” Sophia’s voice was barely above a whisper, her pale face betraying her exhaustion. Elijah knelt by her bedside, holding her hand gently. “I am, Sophia. It’s risky, but it’s our best shot. I promise I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you’re safe.” She gave him a faint smile, though her eyes glistened with worry. “I trust you. I always have.” Elijah squeezed her hand and stood, turning to Doug, who stood by the doorway. “Doug, I need the lab secured. No interruptions, no distractions.” Doug nodded firmly. “Understood, Marshal. I’ll make sure no one comes near until you’re done.” Elijah headed to the adjoining lab, where the equipment hummed with activity. The vial he had retrieved from the hidden lab rested in a secure compartment. He worked meticulously, analyzing its contents and preparing the serum. His hands moved with precision, but his mind was racing. Every moment counted. The anomaly in Sophia’s system was escalating, a
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 238. The Warden Strikes
“Elijah, they’ve hit the power grid!” Sophia’s voice crackled through the communicator, urgency cutting through the static.“I know,” Elijah replied, his tone clipped as he scanned the city map on the holo-display. “We’re stretched thin, but we’ll manage. What’s the latest on the toxin shipment?”Doug’s voice came through, steady despite the chaos. “Marshal, we’re closing in on the convoy. It’s heading toward the water treatment plant. If they breach it—”“They won’t,” Elijah interrupted firmly. “You stop that shipment, Doug. No matter what it takes.”
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 239. The Warden’s Ultimatum
“The Warden is live,” Sophia said, her voice tense as she pointed to the central screen.Elijah stepped closer, his expression unreadable as the broadcast began. The Warden’s masked face filled the display, their voice steady and calculated.“Citizens of Evendore,” the Warden began. “Your leaders have failed you. They cling to their power, exploiting the very foundations upon which this city was built. I will tear down their lies and rebuild Evendore into something just, something true.”Sophia’s hands clenched into fists. “They’re manipulating everyone. They want chaos, not justice.”Doug, standing to the sid
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 240. The Push
“Elijah, we’re in position,” Sophia’s voice crackled through the comms. “What’s the call?”“Hold tight,” Elijah replied, scanning the schematics on his tablet. “We’re splitting into two teams. Doug, take Squad One through the east corridor. Sophia and I will take Squad Two through the north.”“Understood, Marshal,” Doug replied, adjusting his gear. “We’ll clear a path to the control center.”The team moved swiftly but cautiously through the dimly lit tunnels of The Warden’s stronghold. The air was heavy with tension, every step echoing in the sprawling underground facility.Latest Chapter

“Doug, how much longer?” Elijah whispered, his eyes scanning the dimly lit corridor.“Almost there, Sir,” Doug muttered, his fingers flying over the control panel beside the steel door. “Whoever designed this security system was either a genius or had way too much time on their hands.”Sophia stood beside Elijah, her voice low. “I don’t like this. It’s too quiet.”Elijah nodded. “Stay alert. If this place is as important as the files said, someone won’t want us poking around.”The door let out a soft hiss before sliding open. Doug stepped back with a satisfied grin. “And that, my

“Elijah, you’ve been staring at those papers for hours. What did you find?” Sophia asked, leaning against the doorframe with arms crossed.Elijah glanced up, his brow furrowed. “It’s... complicated.”Her eyes narrowed. “Complicated? Or something you don’t want to tell me?”Doug poked his head into the room, sensing the tension. “Everything okay in here, Sir? Or should I prepare for a tactical retreat?”Sophia shot him a look, but her lips twitched. “Not now, Doug.”Doug raised his hands in mock surrender. “Just trying to break the ice. I’ll be in the other room if anyone needs comic relief.”<

242. A Fragile Peace
“Do you think they’ll forgive us?” Sophia’s voice was soft, almost hesitant.Elijah turned to look at her. They stood on a balcony overlooking Evendore. The city still bore scars of the chaos The Warden had unleashed, but signs of recovery were already visible. Streets once filled with fear now bustled with cautious hope.“They don’t need to forgive us, Sophia,” Elijah said. “What matters is that we don’t let them down.”She nodded, her expression thoughtful. “That’s why I’m announcing the initiatives tomorrow. It’s not enough to rebuild the city. We have to rebuild trust too.”&l

241. The Warden’s Fall
“You’ve come all this way to fail,” The Warden sneered, their voice echoing through the cavernous chamber.Elijah stepped forward, his tone calm but firm. “It ends here. No more destruction. No more chaos.”The Warden, dressed in dark tactical gear, stood beside the city-wide dispersal system. Their presence was commanding, a mix of cold calculation and simmering rage.“You think Evendore deserves peace?” The Warden spat, their eyes narrowing. “Do you have any idea how deep the corruption runs? How many lives your precious elite families have ruined?”Sophia, standing beside Elijah, spoke up. “We know it&rsquo
