The hitmen were armed with nothing but pistols, a few with submachine guns. They were outgunned and clueless about Liam's whereabouts, easy prey.

As more fell, panic set in. Ellison's and Ashwin's hands were slick with sweat on their pistols, and they scanned their surroundings with wide, frantic eyes.

In under ten minutes, the tide had turned drastically; of the one hundred and fifty assassins that swarmed in, over half lay dead or wounded.

Ellison barked orders at his crew, "Pull out! Now! Abort mission, full retreat!"

Ashwin, equally rattled, shouted to his dwindling forces, "Fall back, everyone!"

It was a massacre, pure and simple. Staying meant certain death, a valiant but pointless end.

Alpha was a mix of terror and fury, his eyes sweeping over his fallen comrades. He bellowed, "Find that sniper! Once we do, they're no longer a threat!"

"Exactly! Locate the sniper, or we're all goners tonight!"

"Sniper!!"

At that moment, Alpha, Ellison, and Ashwin all fixed their stares

    With that, the trio locked eyes, their shared resolve erupting into a chorus of sinister laughter.In the glittering city of Rasford, three million dollars was pocket change to the elite.However, losing nearly a hundred operatives over that sum was a bad deal for an assassination organization. Manpower was their lifeblood, after all.Yet, tonight was an exception. They had already sacrificed too many in the hit, and regardless of cost, they needed to pocket that cash.Plus, with so many of their own taken out, if they did not retaliate, they would be finished in Rasford City.Alpha and his crew swiftly devised a fresh attack plan. Once settled, they lounged in a swanky Lincoln outside the villa, toasting to their imminent victory."Here's to us! To tonight's triumph!" Alpha exclaimed, lifting his glass."Ha! To our victory, let's drink to that!" another chimed in."Cheers!"The conversation turned casual as they relaxed in the car."Did you hear about the stir in Biskeland?"

    Ellison felt a chill of foreboding and hastily pulled out his phone to call his guys inside the villa.However, the call just rang out into the void, unanswered.Alpha and Ashwin, too, tried their luck, dialing their own crews. No dice. Silence on the line.What they did not realize was that inside the villa, the phones they were trying to reach were abandoned in a crimson tide on the floor, buzzing for attention, while their owners lay lifeless nearby, eyes frozen wide in death.From the villa's courtyard to the grand hall within, blood painted the scene, and bodies were strewn about like discarded dolls.The hitmen lay sprawled, their throats slashed, terror etched on their lifeless faces, eyes frozen wide in shock.The villa reeked of blood, transformed into a charnel house.Outside, Alpha and his buddies were kicking back in their Lincoln, clinking glasses, unfazed by the silence from their crew's phones. They figured the job was just taking longer than expected.Alpha grin

    Ashwin was always one to care deeply about his image. When Alpha's taunts hit his ears, his cheeks flushed with irritation. "Oh, please! I was just talking big. And who knows? If that big-shot Commander-in-chief of Pendragon dared to show up in Rasford City, maybe we could be the ones to take him out!"The other two caught each other's eye and erupted into boisterous laughter.Crash!Out of nowhere, a thunderous crash jolted them, the sound of something heavy landing near their car, sending a shiver down their spines.Before they could even get a good look outside, a chilling voice cut through the darkness."Well, well, I'm quite surprised. Our Pendragon's fame has even reached Westernia. Seems like we're quite the celebrities!"Alpha and his companions were shocked, their eyes darting to where the voice had come from.Their bodyguards, quick on their feet, formed a protective ring around the car, eyes darting, muscles tensed for a fight.How did that guy just appear out of now

    Ashwin's eyes finally focused on the weapon in his adversary's grip, and a shiver of dread coursed through him. "A quintuple-edged dagger... you... you're King Pendragon..."He could not believe that the man he had been plotting against was then standing before him; his earlier bravado evaporated.With a bow of submission, Ashwin's voice quivered with fear, "King Pendragon, have mercy! Please, spare me. The Ashwin organization will surrender to you without conditions!"Alpha and Ellison stood frozen, their faces etched with astonishment. They had never imagined that upon meeting the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon, Ashwin would capitulate so easily.Alpha's ranks had been decimated, and he was seething with fury, ready to command his remaining men to swiftly eliminate the threat.However, in a heartbeat, the enemy moved like a wraith, a blur of motion, and suddenly, Alpha's men were sprawled on the ground, their necks gushing blood.Simultaneously, Cirocco emerged, his presence c

    "Heh, just as I thought!"During the hotel assassination scare, they pinpointed Noel, but Liam was still in the dark about their motives. He figured it was due to his role as the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon, and once his presence in Zephyrland was blown, he became a target.It turns out that after all the runaround, it was Noel stirring the pot all along. Then that's a twist!Right then, Calum stepped out of the shadows, approaching Liam with a salute. "Sir, Noel's been taken care of."They barely set foot in the villa when Cirocco took charge of the Draconian Order's crew, while Calum led a team to the hospital to handle Noel.Anyone brave enough to mess with him had to be ready to pay the price.Liam gave a nod and commanded, "Handle the rest."With that, he strode back to the villa.Cirocco and Calum responded with a dutiful yes, escorting Alpha and the rest away. Calum kept pace with Liam, returning to the villa together.Back at the villa, Liam found Sunniva in the li

    Over and over, Sunniva repeated those words like a mantra, trying to drill into her head that Liam was off the market, a family man.However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not shake the image of Liam, who swooped into her life like a guardian angel in her hour of need.How could she not fall for a guy like that?Even fully aware that he was taken, Liam's image was seared into her heart, unshakable.Her mind was a mess, her heart in turmoil. She knew her crush on Liam was wrong, but she could not rein in her runaway feelings.Meanwhile, Liam downstairs had no clue about the storm raging inside Sunniva. Once she was gone, he casually strolled over to the sofa and took a seat."How's it looking with Jeffrey?" Liam inquired.Calum straightened up, his face set in seriousness, and replied, "I've been in touch. He says we're good to go. We'll head out tomorrow to meet him, and the guide will take us to Wraith Island."...At the crack of dawn the following day, Liam, with

    However, that was Rasford City, where the unusual was just another Tuesday.Jeffrey, with Liam in tow, zigzagged through the streets until they reached a grand casino that oozed luxury. The bouncers, armed to the teeth, looked like they meant business. However, at the sight of Jeffrey, they straightened up and greeted him with the utmost respect, chatting in the tongue of the town.One of them, all politeness, swung the doors wide open, beckoning them inside with a 'right this way' gesture.They were led past the bustling main hall, into the quiet of the casino's backyard, where a hidden cabin waited, promising secrets in its seclusion.A team trailed behind their bodyguard, weaving through a hidden underground passage that stretched nearly a hundred meters before reaching a sturdy iron door.The bodyguard whipped out a card, swiped it on a nearby scanner, and followed up with his fingerprint and a facial scan to unlock the door. He ushered the group into the next area.They en

    With a detached tone, the old man spoke, "The illustrious Commander-in-chief of Pendragon from Biskeland, head of the Draconian Order, it's quite a surprise to have you visit this humble place."Liam was taken aback as well. He did not expect the man to recognize him, let alone be aware of the Draconian Order. His brow furrowed in an instant.Jeffrey's eyes widened in shock as he turned to Liam. "Wow! Mr. Cole, who would've thought you're the King Pendragon of the Draconian Order!"Liam ignored the comment, his piercing gaze fixed on the white-haired old man, a storm of suspicion swirling in his eyes.Unperturbed, the old man with the white hair walked over to the desk, clutching the sheepskin book. "You're looking to head to Wraith Island?" he asked.Regaining his composure, Jeffrey nodded earnestly. "Exactly, York. We're aiming for Wraith Island and could use your guidance."York stopped thumbing through the book, gave a nod, and said, "That would've been fine before, but not n

    Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least

    Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away.

    Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone

    Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although

    The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t

    The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey

    Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate

    One of the muscle-bound goons stowed his submachine gun and drew a hefty machete, nearly a foot long, from his side. He advanced on Liam with deliberate steps.Calum and Cirocco were poised for a fight, ready to jump in at Liam's command and wipe out the roomful of petty thugs.However, Liam had other plans. He remained seated, an unfazed smirk playing on his lips, watching the approaching thug with the machete.The thug, mistaking Liam's calm for fear, grinned viciously and raised his machete, aiming for Liam's arm.However, in a flash, the scene changed.A figure hurtled through the air, and with a resounding crash, the thug was sent flying into the wine rack. The rack toppled, bottles shattering, their contents spilling and perfuming the air with the scent of alcohol.The thug hit the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, his eyes wide with shock. He lay there, lifeless, staring at Liam, dead before he hit the floor.The room plunged into a deathly hush.Corie clapped a h

    Corie was also shaken, her fists clenched tight under the table as she watched Liam with wide, fearful eyes, barely managing to whisper, "Liam!"Liam stood there, steady as ice, without a trace of fear. "Don't worry, I've got this," he assured.Corie, seeing Liam's calm dismissal of the threat and recalling his proven strength, felt her fear ebb away.She could not explain it, but she had an unwavering faith in Liam.Across from them, Clifford lounged back, his legs thrown carelessly over the table, his gaze dripping with disdain. "You don't know who you're messing with, do you?" he sneered. "Karpos works for me, Clifford. And yet, you've got the gall to attack my men in broad daylight? You're in over your head!"Jeffrey was about to chime in, but one look at Liam's icy demeanor and he thought better of it, choosing instead to watch the scene unfold in silence.He was curious to see just how Liam would handle that.Liam chuckled, a sound as cold as the winter wind, and fixed Cli
