“Frederick, let me make one thing clear–I came back to help, not to be your subordinate!” Shane declared with a straight face. “Of course, I’ll do my part, but we’re still equals.”

“Oh, come on! This is not the time for your nonsense,” Frederick replied, rolling his eyes. “Will you do it or not?”

“Alright, alright! I’ll do it!” Shane grumbled, turning to relay the message. But then he hesitated and asked, “By the way, where’s Ms. Beatrix? Is she not tagging along to Zovince to watch the chaos unfold? That’s not like her at all.”

Frederick shot him a warning glare. “Don’t ask about things that aren’t your business. Just go do what I told you to do, or I’ll find someone else to do it.”

“Alright, alright! Geez!” Shane huffed in annoyance before heading into the Quillen residence to notify the assembled Nuthana representatives. However, as soon as he stepped inside, something felt off.

He had been away in Eldoria for a while, sure, but it wasn’t that long. Yet, looking around at the gathered representatives, he didn’t recognize a single one.

“Oh, whatever. Not my problem.” Shane shrugged off the uneasy feeling, recalling Frederick’s warning–not to ask unnecessary questions. He just had to do the job.

Soon, two large buses departed for the airport, set to board a private flight to Zovince.

For security, the convoy was escorted by military vehicles with armed soldiers.

But, as expected, trouble found them.

Just as the convoy reached the airport expressway, a sudden car accident ahead blocked their path completely.

“What’s going on?” Terence Quillen asked sharply as the vehicles screeched to a halt.

“Old Mr. Quillen, there was a suspicious crash up ahead,” Frederick reported in a hushed tone. “I think someone staged this to trap us here.”

Terence nodded but remained calm. “If the enemy doesn’t make their move, neither do we. We still have time–let’s wait them out.”

Frederick agreed. There was no reason to panic before the enemy even showed themselves.

But soon, a wave of cars stormed down the highway behind them. Armed men leaped out, charging toward the buses with guns drawn.

“Help! Somebody help!”

“Gunmen!”

Other motorists, caught in the jam, screamed in terror. Whether or not they were the intended targets, they abandoned their cars and ran.

“Open fire! Take them down!”

with a sharp wave of her hand.

Gunfire instantly erupted across the highway.

With the Wolf Warrior Unit providing cover, the assassins couldn’t get anywhere near the buses. But then- two figures, one clad in red and the other in blue, suddenly darted in from the side, using the distraction to their advantage.

Their goal was simple–get inside the buses and kill just a handful of key representatives. That would be enough to shift the election in their employer’s favor.

However, Eve was no amateur. As a battle–hardened commander, she had anticipated such a move. Without hesitation, she grabbed a machine gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets to cut off their advance.

“D*mn it!”

Aora and Azure–both deadly martial artists–could fight swords and fists all day, but even they weren’t immune to bullets.

With the Wolf Warrior Unit surrounding them and gunfire raining down, the two assassins had no choice but to retreat.

“Ram through them!” Eve ordered the lead military vehicle to plow through the wreckage, blocking their

way.

A staged accident could stop civilian traffic, but it wouldn’t stop an armored vehicle.

“Move out!” Frederick commanded the bus drivers, getting everyone away from the ambush site.

As the convoy sped off, Terence casually rolled down his window. From a safe distance, he waved at Aora and Azure with a wide grin. “See you in Zovince!”

“D*mn that old man!”

Aora’s lips twitched in frustration as he clenched his jaw. Without wasting another second, he barked at Azure, “Forget this fight! Catch up to those buses!”

“Yes, sir!”

Azure understood the urgency. If Terence and the representatives managed to board the plane, there would be no stopping them from reaching Zovince. After all, they hadn’t planned for a hijacking.

Still, Azure couldn’t help but smirk. “There’s no need to go all out, Aora. Those buses are doomed, one way or another.”

Aora slowed his pace slightly, intrigued. “You got something else up your sleeve?”

“Of course,” Azure grinned confidently. “Mr. Verkade set everything up in advance. Don’t forget, he’s a Yeringham native. He knows the terrain like the back of his hand and understands how Terence thinks. He predicted that old fox would try to arrive in Zovince ahead of schedule.”

“Go on,” Aora urged impatiently.

“Look up at that mountain ridge,” Azure said, pointing ahead.

Aora followed his gaze–and immediately gasped.

Even from a distance, with his trained eyes, he could see the ambush set up along the ridge. Dozens of armed men were in position… and worse, he spotted missile launchers primed and ready.

“Holy sh*t! This is brutal!” Aora exclaimed in shock before breaking into laughter.

Then again, considering this was a battle over national power, nothing should have been surprising.
