Chapter 1 Your Wife Is With Me

• Westeria Frontline Command.
• "Bring ten million immediately to ransom her, or I'll kill your wife!"
• Behind the battlefield ruins, Zachary Cooke's camouflage uniform was stained with the enemy's blood. He casually spoke into the phone, "I'm not married, so where would I get a wife?"
• His eyes locked onto the enemy hundreds of meters away as he quickly reloaded his weapon with one hand. Just as he was about to hang up, a familiar name suddenly came from the other end of the line. "Not admitting it? Heh, then I'll sell Carolina Fisher to the black market for organ trafficking. It might even fetch more than ten million."
• Carolina! In Zachary' mind, the image of that kind and resilient woman immediately surfaced.
• Zachary' gaze turned icy, and a surge of violent anger shot up to the sky, instantly dropping the surrounding temperature by several degrees!
• "Holy Sovereign!" The powerful warriors behind Zachary felt his immense fury, and everyone's hearts trembled violently. What had happened to Holy Sovereign?
• "As for your sickly daughter, she won't fetch much, but selling her to some pedophile in the Eastern District might get a bit of money back."
• "Try touching them, and see what happens!" Zachary' mind was like a thunderstorm. Did he really have a daughter?
• "You have six hours to prepare," the voice on the other end said before hanging up.
• Suppressing his fury, Zachary threw his phone to the subordinate behind him. "Trace the IP of that latest call. I want to know his exact location!"
• "He's seeking death!" Zachary roared, smashing through a fifty-centimeter-thick concrete wall with a single punch. He emerged from the ruins, hoisting two massive assault rifles and sprinting forward, firing as he ran.
• Zachary' speed was so fast that the naked eye could barely keep up with him. Bodies littered the ground at his feet, rivers of blood flowing around him.
• The enemy leader could only watch in horror as the man, like a demon, appeared before him in the blink of an eye. Before he could even call out for help, his neck was already snapped.
• "Clear them out!" Zachary commanded, and the drones in the sky began a dense barrage of gunfire. The roar of cannons filled the air, and smoke rose everywhere. In an instant, the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.
• What was planned as a three-day cleanup operation was completed in just one day.
• "Holy Sovereign, we've located the address!" As the words were spoken, a helicopter appeared in the sky. Behind Zachary, ten heavily muscled warriors bowed their heads, ready to follow his orders.
• "Move out immediately!"
• "Yes, Holy Sovereign!"
• The terrifying pressure emanating from Zachary made everyone tremble with fear. The Holy Sovereign was always composed, even when he killed the enemy's commander without showing any emotion. Who could have provoked him to such a loss of control?
• Without hesitation, the helicopter quickly took off, heading towards the address traced by the hacker.
• Meanwhile, in the western suburbs of Bilchester, inside a dilapidated factory building.
• A vicious man with only one eye stood there, a cold smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. In front of him, a woman sat on the floor in a miserable state.
• This man was known as Cyclops, one of the high-ranking members of the largest mafia group in Bilchester—the Monster Gang.
• Cyclops didn't care much for big businesses like shipping and trading. Instead, he had a penchant for small-scale operations like loan sharking and collecting protection money. He thoroughly enjoyed watching people slowly fall into depravity for the sake of money, eventually becoming nothing more than helpless prey on the black market.
• Cyclops waved his phone in front of Carolina, grinning menacingly. "Carolina, it's been five hours. Your man still hasn't shown up. Looks like he's not coming, huh?"
• "When the six hours are up and if that ten million hasn't arrived, I'll pick out the most perverted pedophile for your daughter and sell her for a good price!"
• On the phone screen, several surveillance feeds were neatly arranged on a wall, each showing different angles of a cute little girl happily playing in a kindergarten.
• As the camera panned, across from the surveillance screens stood several well-dressed, pot-bellied, middle-aged men, all wearing masks.
• A surge of immense fear and disgust churned in Carolina's chest as tears streamed down her face. She frantically shook her head, pleading desperately, "No, please, I beg you!"
• Recently, Carolina's daughter had been diagnosed with cancer. She had spent all her savings and borrowed money from every possible source to save her daughter.
• She even called her siblings for help, but instead of support, all she received were vicious curses.
• "Valerie, I'm begging you. She's your niece, please help!"
• "What niece? That bastard has nothing to do with me! Don't call me again!"
• In utter despair, Carolina resorted to borrowing money from loan sharks. She initially borrowed only seven hundred and fifty thousand, but within a month, the interest had compounded to 1.5 million.
• "I can raise the money. Please give me more time. I promise I'll pay you back!" Carolina's body was bound, and despite the pain, she pleaded in a sorrowful voice.
• "I hate it when women cry!" Cyclops said impatiently. "Looks like you won't be afraid unless I do something real."
• "Deliver the goods nearby!" Cyclops ordered.
• Then, on the phone screen, the cute little girl was led by a principal into the principal's office, where a fat man in a suit was waiting for his new "pet."
• "No!" Carolina's eyes widened in horror. She never imagined that this kindergarten was colluding with the mafia, facilitating child trafficking!
• She heard the little girl's voice from the other end of the phone ...
• "Who are you?"
• "Wow ... Mommy said strangers aren't allowed to touch me! Mommy ... Mommy ... I'm scared, I want to go home! Sob ... "
• "Don't be afraid, sweet girl. I'll love you just like your daddy would."
• "No, you're not my daddy! I have a daddy. Mommy says my daddy's name is Zachary, and he's a very handsome man! Daddy ... Daddy, where are you?"
• "..."
• The little girl's desperate cries were like a dagger stabbing into Carolina's heart. "You sc*mbag! I'll fight you to the death!"
• Like a crazed mother beast, she tried to lunge at Cyclops, but the restraints bound her tightly, rendering her unable to move. She collapsed onto the floor instead.
• "Hahaha, watching you struggle is quite entertaining," Cyclops laughed as he took a step forward and viciously kicked Carolina several times while she lay on the ground.
• Carolina, suffering from a concussion after the kicks, could no longer speak.
• "Keep struggling! Why aren't you struggling anymore?" Cyclops sneered, pressing his foot down on Carolina's face, distorting her features. "Maybe I should live stream what's happening to your daughter, just to get you ... "
• Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt an overwhelming, unprecedented killing intent, crashing down on him like an unstoppable force.
• "Crash!"
• The factory's glass windows shattered, shards flying and cutting into Cyclops' face, causing blood to flow instantly.
• A man with an unbelievably terrifying aura burst through the window.
