The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 91. A Moment of Weakness
Sophia stood in the living room, her arms crossed tightly. She had been up all night, worry gnawing at her every thought.When Elijah finally entered, his face was drawn, his shirt still stained from the night’s chaos.Sophia's eyes narrowed, her frustration and concern bubbling over.“Elijah, I want answers,” she demanded, her voice steady but laced with emotion.“Every time there’s trouble, you’re gone, and I’m left in the dark. I need to know what’s going on.”Elijah sighed, pulling a hand through his hair as he faced her.“Sophia, you know I’d tell you if I could. But some things… they’re better left unsaid. It’s safer that way.”Sophia’s gaze sharpened.“Safer? I don’t feel safe, Elijah. It feels like there are walls between us, and I can’t keep guessing if—if there’s something you’re hiding.”She took a shaky breath.“Do you have enemies? Are they coming after us?”Elijah took her hands gently, his expression softening.“Yes, I have enemies, and yes, they’d do anything to hurt m
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 92. Alliance in Shadows
Elijah adjusted his collar and checked his watch, his expression tense as he waited in a quiet corner of a dimly lit restaurant.When Lando Yale entered, his usually casual demeanor was replaced with one of quiet intensity. He moved with a purpose, his sharp eyes darting around to ensure privacy.“Elijah,” he greeted with a curt nod, slipping into the seat across from him.“Lando. Thanks for coming on short notice,” Elijah replied, leaning forward.“There’s been a change of plans. Duke West and William Winter are coming for your business operations—and Sophia’s, too.”Lando’s face darkened.“Those two don’t know when to quit. They’ve been poking around my operations for weeks now. But Sophia? I thought she was safe under your watch.”“She is,” Elijah said firmly, his gaze unwavering.“But Duke West is moving faster than anticipated. They’re gathering allies, and their influence is spreading through some… unexpected channels. We need to solidify our defenses, and we need to do it toget
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 93. Veil of Intentions
The hotel room was quiet, with only the soft hum of the air conditioning filling the silence as Elijah entered, responding to Olivia’s message.She stood by the window, her silhouette framed by the city lights outside.Her gaze was distant until she noticed him; then, her face softened, a warm smile breaking through her usual guarded expression.“James,” she murmured, stepping closer, her voice low and warm. “I was starting to think you wouldn’t come. It’s been hard to get any time alone with you.”Elijah returned her smile, carefully calculated but smooth, allowing the charm she expected from him to seep into his tone.“Time’s been unpredictable lately,”
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 94. An Unmasking of Secrets
Elijah moved quickly, adjusting his shirt and straightening his sleeves as he prepared to leave.Olivia, still reclining on the bed, looked up at him, her expression slipping from warmth to confusion.“James… you’re leaving?” she asked, her voice soft but tinted with disappointment.He paused briefly, giving her a gentle, reassuring smile. “I have to go. Something unexpected came up, but I’ll make it up to you. Promise.”Olivia’s eyes searched his face, a flicker of frustration showing through her smile.“I hope so, James. It’s starting to feel like I barely get to see you anymore,” she whispered, letting her hand linger on his arm.Elijah gave her hand a slight squeeze before stepping back. “I’ll be back soon.”With that, he left the room, heading out to meet Sophia, his mind already shifting to the next steps he needed to take.The streets blurred as he navigated his way back to Arthur Palace, tension building in his chest.Sophia had never called him this urgently before, and he wa
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 95. Bound by Trust
Elijah’s gaze flickered slightly as he stood, trying to steady his voice.“There were… women at the mission site,” he managed, though his tone faltered, sounding uncharacteristically uncertain.Sophia’s eyes narrowed, and the glint of hurt flashed through them.“The Elijah I know never stammers when he talks,” she whispered, her voice trembling as her eyes filled with tears.She took a step back, her hand rising to cover her mouth, as if to contain her heartbreak.“Are you really just going to leave it at that?”As she turned, Elijah felt his heart twist painfully.In a swift movement, he was on his knees in front of her, reaching for her hands.“Sophia… please, don’t walk away.”His voice softened, full of sincerity.“Trust me when I tell you that my heart is only yours. I’m not one of those men who would ever cheat on his wife. Can you believe that? Can you believe in me?”Sophia froze, surprised to see him kneeling, and without hesitation, she knelt down in front of him, her arms c
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 96. A Night of Warmth
Elijah lay beside Sophia, the quiet night folding around them like a soft blanket, creating a world that felt like theirs alone.Sophia nestled into him, her cheek resting on his shoulder, one hand splayed over his heart, fingers tracing gentle circles across his chest.The steady rhythm of her breathing filled the silence, a comforting presence that spoke more than any words.“Elijah,” she whispered, looking up at him with a gentle smile, her fingers brushing the line of his jaw, as though tracing his features into her memory.“This is where I want to be, always. Just like this.”He wrapped his arms around her a little tighter, pressing a kiss to her forehead.“That’s exactly what I want too,” he murmured, his voice low and warm.“No matter what happens around us, Sophia, this—” he squeezed her closer, his voice soft but steady “—this will always be ours.”She sighed, a soft sound of contentment lighting her eyes with warmth.“I know you mean that,” she whispered, her fingers driftin
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 97. The Revelation
Elijah’s jaw clenched as he re-read Doug’s message: “Lando was right. Someone from the Donald family has been feeding out every bit of Sophia’s business information.”Determined, he messaged Doug back. “I want a full investigation on everyone in that family. If someone’s feeding Duke West intel, I need to know exactly who.”Elijah took a steadying breath, looking over at Sophia as she began to stir.He placed a soft kiss on her forehead before slipping out of bed, intent on handling this without bringing her further distress....That afternoon, Sophia was on her way to her cabin in the office when she overheard hushed voices in one of the nearby sitting rooms.She paused, recognizing the tones of her uncle Hague and her cousin Reno.“Duke West has promised us much more once Sophia’s position weakens,” Hague was saying in a low tone, a bitter edge to his voice.“It’s about time we reclaim some control.”“She’s too strong now,” Reno replied, his voice equally venomous.“With her influe
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 98. Fractured Loyalties
Olivia watched Elijah closely, her gaze lingering on his every move. The man she knew as James was beginning to feel different—secretive, like he was constantly keeping something just out of her reach.“James,” she began, her tone soft but tinged with curiosity, “I feel like I barely see you anymore. You’re always… somewhere else.”Elijah, maintaining his calm composure, smiled faintly.“Business is demanding, Olivia. You know that better than anyone.” He met her gaze, his voice steady, but he noticed the flicker of doubt in her eyes.Olivia’s expression remained thoughtful, and she took a small step closer.“It’s not just business, though, is it? Sometimes it seems like you know things that don’t even concern you. Things that I wouldn’t expect you to be involved in.”Elijah let out a soft chuckle, trying to ease the tension.“Curiosity is a dangerous quality, Olivia,” he murmured, his tone light but firm.“Some things are better left unsaid, don’t you think?”She didn’t look convince

211. A Seductive Celebration
The tension of the last few weeks had finally ebbed, leaving a rare, quiet evening at Arthur Palace. Sophia stood by the balcony, gazing at the distant city lights. She wore a silk robe that barely reached her knees, the fabric flowing like liquid around her curves. Hearing Elijah enter the room, she turned, her eyes sparkling with mischief.“Elijah,” she said, her voice soft yet inviting. “I’ve been thinking. Don’t you think it’s time we celebrated properly?”Elijah raised an eyebrow, a small smirk playing on his lips. “And how exactly do you propose we do that, Mrs. Norton?”Sophia crossed the room, her steps deliberate and graceful. “Oh, I have a few ideas,” she tea

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
