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.”

“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.”<

“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

“Sophia, you’ve done enough,” Victor said, his voice calm but edged with warning. “Walk away before this gets worse for you.” Sophia’s grip on the communicator tightened. “You don’t get to tell me what to do, Victor. Not after everything.” “You don’t understand what you’re digging into,” Victor continued, his tone softening. “This isn’t just about you or Elijah. It’s bigger than you can handle.” “I don’t care how big it is,” Sophia snapped. “I won’t stand by while the people of Evendore suffer because of our family’s choices.” There was silence on the other end, followed by a sigh. “Don’t make me regret this, Sophia. Stop looking into the vault’s documents. This is your only warning.” The line went dead before she could respond. Sophia lowered the communicator slowly, her hands trembling. Elijah, standing nearby, stepped forward. “What did he say?” “Just the usual,” she said, her voice brittle. “Stop investigating or else.” Doug poked his head into the room, holding a
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 1. The Unexpected Combination
Elijah Norton woke up early in the morning.He felt something soft in his left hand, so he turned his head to the left and discovered a woman with a veil lying beside him.His left hand was gripping her... Elijah subconsciously pinched it.Sophia Donald was startled awake by the pinch, realizing she was completely naked except for the veil on her face."Ah!" Her scream echoed throughout the hotel.Breathless with fear, she clutched the bed sheets tightly to cover her body and slowly moved back to distance herself from Elijah."Who... who are you? What did you do to me?" Sophia asked anxiously."My name is Elijah. It seems we've done everything a young couple can do," Elijah shrugged casually."How could you do this to me? You violated me; you're a criminal!" Sophia was both angry and embarrassed, but more than that, she felt wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes as her voice trembled."That's not true! You were the one who made the first move last night!" Elijah defended himself."No w
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 2. Trapped in the Nightmare
"What a small world! This is the fate between us, Sophia" Elijah murmured to himself.He never expected that the woman he had been searching for had just slept right beside him the night before."Sophia, you saved me ten years ago. Now, it's my turn to save you!" Thinking of her difficult situation, Elijah resolved in his heart to make her the happiest woman in the world."Doug, head to the Donald family!""Yes, Dragon Marshal!" ... ... Sophia walked up the steps to the Donald family mansion, her legs feeling like lead.Her heart pounded in her chest, dread settling in her stomach like a stone. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, only to be met with a room full of angry faces.Her fiancé, Alan Shaw, stood at the front, his arms crossed, staring at her, like a predator sizing up its prey.The rest of the family members filled the room, their eyes like daggers, full of judgment and contempt.At the head of the table was Ethan Donald, who's the family patriarch and Sophia's g
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 3. The Start of Something New
"Who dares to cause trouble here?!" Ethan bellowed, his face red with fury.Elijah's gaze fixed on him, steady and fearless, saying confidently, "I do!” His voice calm and commanding, carrying an authority that made everyone in the room tense up."And if you lay another finger on her, you'll regret it."The room fell silent.All the members of the Donald family were in disbelief that someone had barged into their home and threatened them.Who was he? What was he doing here?Suddenly, Reno recognized him and shouted, "It's you!"He then pointed at Elijah and yelled excitedly at Ethan, "Grandpa, he's the one who had an affair with Sophia—the culprit behind the breakdown of our alliance with the Shaw family!""Guards, come quickly and capture this guy!" Reno shouted, trying to summon the guards to seize Elijah.Elijah crossed his arms and scoffed, "No need to waste your effort; the guards outside have already been taken care of by me."Everyone stared at Elijah, sensing the danger he rad
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 4. A New Beginning
Sophia stared in disbelief as the car pulled up in front of a massive, elegant villa."This… this is where you live?" she asked, her voice filled with awe.Elijah glanced at her and nodded."Arthur Palace," he said casually. "Home, for now."He loved Sophia’s bewildered state.Sophia’s eyes widened as she took in the towering pillars, the sprawling gardens, and the grand entrance. She had never seen anything like it."I thought… I thought you were just some arrogant soldier," she muttered.It’s not that she was from a poor family but it was more than her expectations.Elijah smirked."A soldier, yes. But arrogant? Maybe," he said with a shrug."I like to keep people guessing. Come inside."He encouraged Sophia to walk ahead.Sophia felt the cool air as they stepped in and smelled the fresh flowers that decorated the luxurious interior. She couldn’t help but feel out of place."Why are you helping me?" she asked cautiously."You don’t even know me," her voice was mixed with surprise.As
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 5. A Challenge for Honor
The morning sun streamed through the window as Elijah and Sophia stood before a modest altar, their hands clasped together.The ceremony was simple but heartfelt. Sophia’s heart pounded in her chest."I do," she whispered, her voice steady with determination.Elijah's eyes met hers."I do," he said firmly, sealing their vows.After the ceremony, they returned to the Donald family home where Sophia's father, Bob, lived in a small, worn-down wing of the estate.His influence in the family was minimal, and it showed in his modest surroundings.Sophia's eyes were saddened at the sight."Father," she called softly, approaching him.Bob looked up, his eyes dull."Sophia?" he mumbled, his voice weak.He hadn’t expected her to visit, let alone look so radiant."I’m back, Father," Sophia said, smiling warmly."And I’m married now."Bob’s eyes widened."Married? To him?" he asked, glancing at Elijah with a mix of confusion and fear.Elijah nodded, stepping forward."Yes, sir. I’m Elijah Norton,

“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

“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. The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal

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

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
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
