The next day, Samuel boarded his private plane and flew straight into Vermont.

As governor, Kelly Kingston had no choice but to greet him in person. She stood tall at the airstrip, forcing a diplomatic smile as the old war legend stepped down from the jet.

"Welcome to Vermont, Governor of Lexington," Kelly said, extending her hand with poise. "It's an honor to host a legend like you, Sir Samuel."

Samuel clasped her hand firmly, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.

"I've been told you're losing control. That the power you've gained is consuming you."

"What do you mean, Sir?"

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Kelly's brow furrowed. "What are you suggesting, Sir?"

"You can throw the first punch if you want," Samuel said, his voice icy. "I don't make a habit of striking a woman before she strikes me."

"Excuse me?" Kelly blinked in shock. "I have no intention of attacking anyone."

"Then forgive me. I've got a job to finish," Samuel growled and his fist snapped forward without warning.

He used only a fraction of his strength, yet the strike was blindingly fast and brutally precise.

Kelly barely managed to block, her training snapping into action.

She countered with a swift kick, but Samuel caught her leg effortlessly and flung it aside.

Kelly stumbled back, gasping for breath. "Sir, what are you doing?" she shouted. "I'm going to kill you right here," Samuel declared, unleashing another savage jab. The raw force ripped through the air, making her bones scream as if they were already splintering under the pressure.

Kelly's guards sprang into action, drawing weapons. But Samuel's elite men moved faster, intercepting them.

"Don't even think about it," one of Samuel's guards barked.

"Don't try to stop us!" Kelly's guards roared, charging forward.

But within seconds they were overpowered-disarmed, slammed to the ground, and restrained with brutal efficiency.

Kelly was left alone, struggling to defend herself. Her body screamed in pain, but she refused to back down.

“Sir Samuel, I'm holding back out of respect for you," she warned, her voice trembling with both fury and fear.

"Then stop holding back," Samuel said coldly. "Because you're going to die today."

His fists and kicks came heavier, each one ripping a cry of pain from Kelly as she staggered under the assault.

Finally, she unleashed her full power, every ounce of strength blazing. But Samuel blocked and dodged effortlessly, his movements honed by decades of battle.

Then came his devastating swing. Kelly braced with both arms, but the impact shattered them instantly.

Her chest cracked with a sickening snap as ribs broke under the force.
