Chapter 606
Chapter 0606 That very night, in the forgotten reaches of Boise Street in Pearson town's southwest suburbs, the scene was set. That place, once the bustling heart of the town thirty years back, had slipped into obscurity. The Boise Community at the street's dead end was a ghost of a development, long since given up on by any hopeful developers. .
It was not that they did not want to—it was fear that kept them away. The Black Maple Organization had claimed that no-man's land as their Northwest stronghold, a perfect cover for the seventy-odd martial arts aces hiding within. The more desolate the community, the better their cover, and they could easily manipulate any developer who dared to venture close.
"Vinicent's given the word," came the call. " Time to change into our disguises!" On the rooftop of a crumbling apartment building by the neighborhood's gate, more than seventy Black Maple operatives deftly
slipped into the minor outfits provided by Vinicent.
They were all set, As per Vinicent's strategy, the team embarked under the cover of darkness, posing as miners to infiltrate the Ninth District. Their secret mission: to snatch Amber when the chance arose. : "Alexander would never guess that the boss left us in reserve out here in the Northwest," one of them mused.
The three lead envoys of Black Maple finished suiting up first. They glanced back at their crew and murmured with a sly chuckle, "Sure, Alexander's tough, but he's still just one guy.
"Keep it together, folks. If Alexander shows up, stay ‘composed and don't tip him off." The moment Amber's on her own, make your move. Grab her, get her to our hideout, and let the boss know.
"The boss always said Amber's his Achilles’ heel. Nab her, and Alexander's as good as caught.”
With a synchronized rustle, the Black Maple members bowed, echoing a resounding "Yes!" "We've covered the basics. Time to roll out!" At the envoys’ signal, the operatives vaulted off the roof. They descended like nimble monkeys, their landings silent—a testament to their elite status. Those were no ordinary fighters, they were brimming with vital energy, each one a top-tier fighter. Especially the three leading envoys, they landed gracefully, their movements fluid and precise, their inner power emanating subtly, all displaying the mastery of a peak-level Grandmaster! As they neared the entrance of the neighborhood...
"Huh?!" The lead envoy of Black Maple halted abruptly, his eyes narrowing sharply.
There was someone there! At the heart of the entrance stood a young man, hands casually clasped behind him, his
gaze leisurely drifting over the Black Maple crew, his expression emotionless.
It had to be Alexander! "You can forget about heading to the Ninth District." He calmly addressed the seventy-odd Black Maple members, his voice detached, "When, real power steps in, all your little plots and schemes don't stand a chance. E "Whether it's Vinicent's delusions or the Black Maple leader's secret maneuvers, trying to steal the jade amulet is a one-way ticketto nowhere.
"I was going to let you off easy, just break your fighting spirit and let you live. But... you dared to think about snatching Amber, and that's a line you don't cross, a mistake I can't forgive!" His voice, his face... It was definitely Alexander! In that instant, the three Black Maple envoys felt a chill run down their spines, and without a second thought, they bellowed, "Scatter and
run for it!" "Save yourselves if you can, just run! Their inner power exploded, propelling them in different directions as they spirited away, covering dozens of yards in the blink of an eye! The rest of the Black Maple members scattered like birds, each one fleeing for their lives! Alexander's true power was a mystery, but the master's grand designs in the north had crumbled to dust, and the intricate plots of Umbracia had gone up in smoke... Thirty years of hard work, all undone by Alexander's hand.
The Black Maple members stood paralyzed, their fighting spirit extinguished. Their only thought was to run for their lives! "Run? You think you can get away?" Alexander's eyes were like shards of ice, his right hand reaching out to clutch at the air, fingers curling as if drawing in the very breath of death. With a voice as chilling as the reaper's own, he whispered, "Die."
With a snap, the air itself seemed to shatter.
The three envoys of Black Maple, along with everyone else, froze in place. Their life force locked up tight, their very essence and spirit crumbled away in an instant, snuffing out their existence. , His will made manifest, Alexander turned the unsgen into lethal reality. : : It was a ruthless end, reserved for those who dared to cross the line by trying to abduct Amber.
"Clean this up." I Without a second glance at the fallen, Alexander pulled out his phone and called Juno, the Duke of War. "Vinicent will hear about this soon. Keep an ear to the ground, and find the Black Maple master." Juno's voice came through the line, tinged with excitement. "Green Dragon has taken your jade amulet to the Ninth District and located the exact spot of its counterpart.” ‘Deep beneath the surface in the bowels of
Mine Number Twenty-Eight lay a secret I untouched by time: the tomb of an ancient general, over a millennium old." IMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.
