The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 61. A Bitter Choice
Elijah sat beside Sophia's bed, his eyes scanning her pale, motionless form.He had been monitoring her progress for days, confident that her fractures were healing and that his herbal treatments were working.But now, her condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse. Her breathing was shallow, her skin clammy, and the bruises around her injuries had deepened. "Come on, Sophia," Elijah muttered, running his fingers through her hair."You were getting better. What’s happening to you?"He tightened his jaw, feeling the weight of frustration and helplessness pressing down on him.His attention had been divided, focused on both taking down the Winters and avenging her accident, but now it seemed like his own distractions were costing her recovery.Doug knocked softly on the door before stepping inside."Marshal," he said quietly, "any change?"Elijah shook his head, his expression dark. "She's worse, Doug. I thought the treatments were working, but now... something's wrong."Doug's fa
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 62. The Sabotage Begins
Elijah sat in his study, the dim light casting long shadows across the room as he pored over documents and surveillance reports.The task before him was immense—he had to sabotage William Winter’s next major business move without drawing suspicion.Olivia and William were powerful, and if they caught even a whiff of his intentions, everything would unravel.Doug entered quietly, carrying a stack of reports. His face was tight with concern.“Marshal, I’ve got the intel you asked for. William Winter’s company is set to launch a massive acquisition of Lando Yale’s assets in the next week. If we want to cripple them, this is our best shot.”Doug placed the documents on the table, but his eyes lingered on Elijah, clearly worried.Elijah nodded, his mind already working out the details.“Good. We’ll make sure they don’t get close to those assets. Sabotage their plans, but make it look like a business blunder. Nothing that can lead back to us.”Doug hesitated before speaking, his voice lower
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 63. A Traitor in the Ranks
Elijah sat at his desk, the dim light of his study casting long shadows across the room.His mind raced as he sifted through files, documents, and reports.The Cobra’s cryptic message about a traitor still gnawed at him.Trust was a fragile thing, and Elijah had learned long ago that even the closest ally could turn on you.He glanced up as Doug entered the room, his face serious.Doug had been by his side through countless battles, both on and off the field.If there was anyone Elijah trusted, it was him.“Marshal,” Doug said, his voice low, “I’ve put surveillance on everyone in the inner circle, just like you asked. I’m combing through every interaction, every move. We’ll find out who’s been leaking information.”Elijah nodded, his jaw clenched. “Good. I want a full report on every suspicious activity. I don’t care who it is—we’re going to root this out.”Doug stepped forward, placing a stack of files on the desk.“There’s something else, Marshal. William Winter’s next move—it’s hap
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 64. A Web of Lies
Elijah paced in his study, his mind swirling with frustration.The file on Marcus lay open on the desk, the evidence staring him in the face, but something didn’t feel right.He had confronted Marcus earlier that day, but the man had vehemently denied any involvement in the sabotage or any connections to the syndicate.“I’ve never betrayed you, Marshal,” Marcus had said, his voice steady but strained.“I’ve fought by your side for years. Why would I turn on you now?”Elijah’s instincts told him there was more to the story, but without solid proof, he couldn’t make his move.&nbs
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 65. The Calm Before the Storm
Sophia lay in bed, her breaths soft but steady. The improvement in her condition was slight but noticeable.The fractures that had caused her the most pain were healing, and she could walk again, albeit slowly. Bandages still framed her pale face, but the worst seemed to be over. Elijah watched her carefully, his heart tight with a mixture of relief and frustration.“Take it easy, Sophia,” Elijah said softly as he stood beside her. His voice carried a deep undercurrent of concern. Sophia smiled weakly as she slowly took a few steps with his help.“I’m trying, Elijah. It just feels good to be up again, even if I can’t do much.”Her strength was returning, but the toll on both of them had been severe.Elijah hadn’t slept properly in days, his mind consumed by the enemies closing in on all sides. But none of that mattered when he saw Sophia moving, alive, and slowly recovering.But something still bothered him.He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. "Sophia, has anyone else give
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 66. The Cobra’s Trap
Elijah stood by the large window of Arthur Palace, the evening sun casting an orange glow across the room.His mind raced with conflicting thoughts as he prepared for his confrontation with the Cobra.He knew that Asher was the real enemy, the mastermind behind everything that had happened to Sophia. But ignoring the Cobra's challenge wasn’t an option—he couldn’t risk losing valuable intel. “Doug,” Elijah called out, his voice low but firm.Doug, always alert and ready, entered the room. “Yes, Marshal?”“Have you gathered everything on the Cobra’s movements?”Doug nodded, handing Elijah a folder.“We’ve traced his recent activity to a safe house outside the city. It’s heavily guarded, but we can breach it if needed. He’s waiting for you.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed as he flipped through the documents.“The Cobra won’t be expecting me to come alone, but I’ll handle this personally.”Doug gave a nod, though his eyes held concern.“Marshal, are you sure? We know Asher’s the one pulling the
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 67. A Deadly Showdown
Elijah's mind was sharp, focused on the task ahead. He had left Doug in charge of monitoring Sophia’s safety, ensuring no traps could be sprung in his absence.This was it—the final showdown with the Cobra.His thoughts drifted to Sophia for a brief moment as he tightened the straps on his tactical gear.She was healing, but he could still see the worry in her eyes.The pain in her ribs had subsided, but the emotional wounds were still raw. It made him even more determined to end this—once and for all.He glanced at the message on his phone again, the Cobra’s challenge burned into his mind.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 68. Mind Games with Olivia
Elijah entered the grand ballroom, his eyes scanning the crowd. The air was thick with wealth and power—two things he’d grown used to manipulating.As he walked through the elegant space, dressed in a sharp black suit and his “James Hamesworth” persona firmly in place, his mind was focused.Tonight wasn’t just about blending in—it was about playing the game with Olivia and the Winters.Olivia spotted him the moment he arrived. Her face lit up, and she glided toward him, her silk dress clinging to her curves.She was stunning, as always, but Elijah wasn’t here for that. His eyes remained cold, though he allowed a small, flirtatious smile to curl at the edges of his lips.“James,” she breathed, reaching out to touch his arm. “I was starting to think you wouldn’t come.”Elijah tilted his head, flashing her a charming grin.“I wouldn’t miss it, Olivia. After all, you promised me a surprise.”She laughed, a sound that might have fooled anyone else into thinking she was simply a woman in lo

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

201. A New Adversary
Elijah sat in his study, the mysterious crest resting on the desk before him. Its foreign symbol gleamed under the soft light, mocking him with its ambiguity. Doug stood nearby, his hands clasped behind his back, watching his Marshal’s every movement.“This symbol,” Elijah murmured, tracing it with his finger, “it doesn’t belong to any known family in Evendore. It’s deliberate—meant to confuse and provoke.”Doug cleared his throat. “Sir, I’ve been digging into the archives and surveillance logs. It’s tied to an organization that operates outside Evendore’s jurisdiction. They’re elusive—an umbrella for various power players.”Elijah’s eyes

200. A Fragile Peace
Evendore was alive with celebration. The city’s streets were flooded with joy, music, and laughter, a stark contrast to the chaos of recent months. Nathaniel Thompson’s defeat had brought relief to the people, and for the first time in what felt like ages, there was hope in the air. But inside Arthur Palace, Elijah Norton felt anything but peace. In his study, Elijah stood by the window, gazing at the flickering city lights. His hand rested on the Norton crest engraved into his desk, his fingers tracing the design absentmindedly. The room was dimly lit, the only sounds the crackling of the fireplace and the faint hum of the celebration outside. “Marshal.” Doug’s voice broke the silence as he entered the study. In his hand was a dossier filled with intelligence reports. “The situation is more complicated than we hoped.” Elijah turned to face him, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp. “Let me guess—Nathaniel’s shadow still lingers?” Doug nodded grimly. “Yes, sir. We’ve i

199. A Legacy Reclaimed
The air around Nathaniel’s hideout was heavy with tension. Elijah, Sophia, and Doug stood at the entrance of the compound, their determination palpable. The Lava’s Heart was within reach, but so was Nathaniel’s final gambit."Marshal," Doug said, his voice low but firm, "our team is in position. We’ll cover you and Mrs. Norton from all sides."Elijah nodded, his eyes fixed on the sprawling structure ahead. "This ends today," he said, his voice steady but laced with resolve.Sophia stepped closer to him, her hand brushing his. "Whatever happens, I’m with you, Elijah," she said softly, her eyes filled with unwavering support.Elijah tu
