2024-10-29 19:42:56Elijah 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.

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 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
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 69. Family Pressure
Sophia stepped into the office building, the familiar scent of coffee and polished wood hitting her as she crossed the lobby.It had been weeks since she’d last been there, and while her physical wounds were healing, the emotional ones still lingered.Her ribs ached with every step, but it was nothing compared to the tightness in her chest at the thought of facing her family again.As she reached the top floor, the tension in her shoulders grew. The Donald family wasn’t known for its warmth, and after the phone call with her grandfather, Ethan, Sophia knew she wasn’t going to get a warm welcome.The moment she entered the boardroom, her grandfather’s sharp gaze landed on her.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 70. The Hunt Begins
Elijah stood in front of the large map spread across his desk, his sharp eyes scanning the different points of interest marked on it.The hunt for Alan Shaw had begun, and he knew exactly how to draw him out.The Shaws had lost everything—thanks to Elijah—and Kevin Shaw had made it his life’s mission to seek revenge.But Alan, Sophia’s ex-fiancé, was the one who would make the first move, and Elijah was ready to end this.Doug entered the room, closing the door quietly behind him."Marshal, we’ve confirmed Alan’s location. He’s been gathering a few loyal men. They’re planning something, but it’s unclear what exactly."Elijah’s jaw tightened. "It doesn’t matter. We strike first."Doug nodded, stepping closer to the desk. "He’s holed up at a warehouse outside the city. Not heavily guarded, but enough men to make things messy if we aren’t careful."Elijah’s eyes darkened. "We’ll lure him out. I want him isolated. This ends tonight."...Meanwhile, at Arthur Palace, Sophia lay on the couc
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 71. Kevin Shaw's Revenge
Elijah paced the length of his office at Arthur Palace, his mind racing. Alan Shaw was dead, but that wasn’t the end of it. Kevin Shaw, Alan’s father, was already plotting revenge, and this time, it wasn’t just a personal vendetta. It was something much bigger."Marshal," Doug said, stepping into the room."It’s confirmed. Kevin Shaw has been working with Duke West. They’re planning something big."Elijah stopped pacing and turned to face Doug, his jaw clenched. "What are we looking at?"Doug’s eyes were serious, his voice low. "Kevin’s filled with rage after Alan’s death. He wants your head, but it’s more than that now. Duke West is using Kevin’s anger to his advantage. They’ve mobilized a force—something much larger than just revenge. They’re coming for you, and they’re coming hard."Elijah’s fists tightened. "So, Kevin’s not just trying to avenge his son. He’s trying to reclaim his family’s lost honor.""Exactly," Doug replied."And Duke West sees this as an opportunity to weaken y
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 72. The Final Confrontation
Elijah stood in the training hall of Arthur Palace, his eyes scanning the room as his team assembled.Doug was at his side, silent but prepared, as always. The time for the final confrontation had arrived.Kevin Shaw and Duke West had made their move, and now it was Elijah's turn to strike. He was ready to end this once and for all."Doug," Elijah said, his voice cold and focused, "make sure the perimeter is secure. I don’t want any surprises tonight."Doug nodded. "Understood, Marshal. We’ve got eyes everywhere. Kevin and Duke won’t know what hit them."Elijah tightened his gloves, the tension in his body coiling like a spring. "Good. It’s time to put an end to this."As Doug left to finalize the preparations, Elijah took a deep breath, thinking of Sophia. He had promised to protect her, and he would keep that promise, no matter what. But to do that, he needed to eliminate the threats once and for all....Meanwhile, at the Donald mansion, Sophia found herself in another argument wi

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

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

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
