That night, Aland approached Jonathan's residence with hesitant steps. After gathering his courage, he pressed the doorbell and waited for the door to open. Soon, a servant opened the door.
"Is Jonathan home?" Aland asked.
"Sir has just returned with Mr. Jakson," the servant replied, leaving Aland pensive for a moment. He was reluctant to meet Jakson after all.
"Alright, tell me that Aland is coming to visit," Aland said after some thought.
The waitress went inside, and after a few minutes, she came back out and told Aland to go into Jonathan's private room.
Aland entered the house and went to Jonathan's private room. He went inside, and on the other side of the room, Jonathan and Jakson were sitting on the sofa, sipping their alcoholic drinks. They looked at Aland; obviously, Jakson's gaze was very unfriendly.
"What are you doing here again?" asked Jakson.
Jonathan looked relaxed and sipped his drink calmly.
"I want to rejoin,
"Is everyone in position?" Zayden questioned Clif and Lukas."Yes, already. Everything is moving as directed," Lukas replied."According to reports from our spies there, Jakson, Jonathan, and Aland are all there," Clif reported. "Very good. This attack must not fail. We must get all three," Zayden said determinedly.Today, Zayden had planned a major assault with his soldiers on Allesandro's base. He led a number of teams that had been divided based on a careful strategy.Some of them use land vehicles, such as camouflaged goods trucks. However, behind the truck's appearance, there were armed troops ready for battle. As many as five large trucks were travelling in tandem, as if they were transporting heavy goods.Meanwhile, some other troops took the air route via helicopter. Five helicopters had been prepared to transport the troops. They were airborne and would land at a location quite far from Alessandro's base, which was the main objective of the attack.Zayden watched over the pr
They moved very carefully, avoiding every mine along the way. They used transmitters to detect the mines and destroy them one by one. Each team member was relieved when they managed to clear most of the mines without difficulty. However, one team member's carelessness was disastrous.Unintentionally, one of the team members stepped on a mine that they had not yet detected. A powerful explosion occurred instantly, hitting the members of the Bravo team. Some of them were blown away and hit the wall hard, causing severe injuries and even death.The lights came on at the same time, and the enemy base alarm immediately went off, indicating an intruder. The surviving Bravo team immediately scrambled to their feet, evacuated the injured members, and prepared for the enemy's counterattack. Despite being injured and losing several members, they remained determined to complete the mission and destroy the enemy base."Bravo Team Retreat! Withdraw the surviving members!" ca
"It's so cold," Olivia muttered as she walked out of the villa, hugging herself. She noticed that the sky was dark, and the snow wasn't falling that heavily, but the cold air was piercing.He gazed up at the empty, dark sky and felt a profound sense of emptiness. Despite the absence of any trouble, she felt a profound sense of emptiness in her heart. It was like she had lost something very precious, but she didn't know what it was. She then stepped towards the swing in the house's back garden. Olivia sat on the swing, slowly swinging her body.Olivia has been feeling restless for a few hours. Her mind couldn't settle down and sleepiness never came. The night was getting late, but her heart was so restless, as if there was a burden pressing on her chest. She felt like crying but didn't know what exactly made her so anxious and sad."Why am I like this?" muttered Olivia softly, biting her lip. "What makes me so worried and sad?"In the darkness of the night
"Where are you running to, Jonathan?" taunted Zayden as he approached the fallen man. Jonathan felt his arm and face bleeding from the glass. The stabbing pain made him whimper, but he knew that Zayden wouldn't give him a chance to complain.Injured, Jonathan tries to get up to fight back. In a room now filled with shattered glass, Zayden and Jonathan engaged in a fierce and brutal fight. The two fought mercilessly, hurting each other without caring for the pain they were feeling.Between gasps and vicious punches, Zayden and Jonathan struggle to outdo each other. Whoever emerges victorious will determine both of their fates.On the other hand, Aland descended the steps of the underground staircase, following Jakson's orders. Once at the bottom of the stairs, he was surprised to suddenly bump into Zayden. Aland widened his eyes, unable to believe that Zayden was in such a place."Zayden! What are you doing here?" In a confused tone, Aland asked.Za
"Everything has been brought back." Bastian asked Zayden, who was talking to Javier near the Black Cat headquarters."Yes, only the dead; we bury them there," Zayden replied.They looked at the large medical tent that served as an emergency treatment centre. The tent was a temporary place to treat injured Black Cat members, while the emergency room at the headquarters was occupied by patients with severe injuries. The rest that could not be treated, such as burn patients, were rushed to Heaven Hospital.The atmosphere inside the tent was very tense; screams of pain were heard from several patients who had just undergone surgery."It looks like this situation will take some time," said Bastian."Yeah, they're really tough. Even though they were badly injured, they still managed to survive," Zayden replied. "Dad, how is Uncle Lukas?" asked Zayden."The surgery was successful; Lukas has now been moved to the intensive care unit; hopefully he wi
Ariana stepped slowly into the stuffy, cramped, and humid dungeon belonging to Black Cat headquarters. Although the place was kept clean, the air felt restricted due to the lack of ventilation. The dim light surrounding the room added to the tense atmosphere.In one of the cells, a battered and badly injured Jonathan stood with his hands tied above his head. His body was covered in bruises and scratches, making his appearance even more pathetic. A guard unlocked the lock and opened the door, letting Ariana in. Hearing the sound of the metal door being opened, Jonathan raised his head, and with a slight frown on his forehead, he looked at Ariana with weak, expectant eyes.When he heard Ariana's footsteps, Jonathan turned to the woman.Ariana, who was already standing in front of Jonathan, smiled with satisfaction, laughing mockingly at Jonathan's suffering."Who would have thought there would be a moment like this?" Ariana said mockingly, "I can avenge my
What if you gave your scarf and umbrella to a stranger? Ivy asked. She and Olivia were already enjoying breakfast together."Yes, for some reason, seeing him made my heart race; my eyes heated up, and I felt like crying as I hugged him. I believe you have been watching dramas excessively, and the man from last night was quite attractive. I might have gotten a suggestion from the drama and wanted to hug him," Olivia said innocently, but Ivy understood what she meant. She clearly knew that the man must be Zayden."So that is why you provided me with the scarf and umbrella until I returned home with a cold?" Though less awkward than when they moved in, Ivy was teased."Yes, because he looks sad and has a pale face. I'm afraid he's sick," Olivia replied pensively, remembering Zayden's face last night. "It's like he's not okay.""Yes, Master misses Madame very much. He sacrificed his own feelings to protect her," Ivy thought. She wanted so badly to say that, b
Currently, Olivia and Ivy are busy working in a greenhouse filled with various fruit plants. The cold wind doesn't dampen their spirits as they work hard to find ripe fruit.Although the harvest this time was not as plentiful due to the cold winter that affected the fruit growth, Olivia still showed her enthusiasm and happiness as she carefully picked fruit after fruit that had ripened. The smile on her face shows how much she enjoys her job.Meanwhile, Ivy was equally eager to find ripe fruits. But she looks more focused and calm than the excited and cheerful Olivia. Both of their hands are skillfully sorting through the fruits that are worth harvesting; no matter how few fruits they find, they continue their work with gratitude.Occasionally, they share stories and laughter while working, making the cold greenhouse atmosphere warmer through their togetherness. As time goes by, the amount of fruit they harvest continues to grow, although not as much as in other
