Chapter 230

Who the hell is this freak," one of the assassins hissed, voice trembling as he watched the bodies of his fellow Vermont Elite sprawled across the cold pavement.

Fear gnawed at his gut, and the moment Alex gave him permission to scram, he took off running.

They'd trained for decades to be unstoppable, to rule Vermont by Jericho Kane's side-but all of that meant nothing in the face of this unstoppable force.

He sprinted through the night, lungs burning, and jabbed the call button on his smartwatch.

"Sire," he panted, voice trembling. "We're facing a monster... and he's demanding a meeting with Master Kane."

Moments later, Jericho slammed his fist onto a heavy oak table.

The table burst into splinters under his blow.

"Who does that arrogant bastard think he is? Some boytoy of Hilton wants to summon me? Me? The Governor of Vermont!"

"I'll damn well show him who he's dealing with!"

Vetala hovered nearby like a ghostly shadow.

"Sir, I've watched his moves. I'm convinced he's not just some random man off the street. He killed Vermont Elite's men too easily. Maybe he's hiding his true power."

Jericho's teeth ground together.

He spoke through clenched jaws.

"So what if he's strong? Nobody hits my daughter and calls me out without consequences. He thinks I'm a joke? I'll show him pain like he's never felt."

His voice rumbled with pent-up rage that made the walls tremble.

"What about the Lancaster family? Did our people wipe them out yet?"

Vermont Elites leader' head dipped low. "No, Sir. So far, we haven't even managed to lay a finger on them."

Jericho Kane stared him down, fist clenched.

"So then, what about the reinforcements we requested from the other Vermont families? You told me they'd help bulk up our forces against the Kingstons."
