Two helicopters cut through the sky with deafening roars, rapidly descending from the Wallaby Mountain War Wolf training base to land at the edge of the dense Sevenfold Crest forest.

The blades whirred as ten elite soldiers from the War Wolf Special Forces, led by Robin, quickly exited the aircraft.

Wilson, Jack, Xavier, and the others climbed out of the second helicopter, their faces taut with anxiety.

Without exchanging a word, they hurried into their off road vehicles, heading toward the treeline.

Morris Fennimore, the commander of the Dragon Soul Special Forces, and Miles Parham, the commander of the Dark Panther Special Forces, sprinted toward Wilson, Xavier, and Jack-three high-ranking generals. "General Wilson, we've confirmed that six highly dangerous individuals have already killed two members of the War Wolf Special Forces.

"They're armed with explosives, making any direct action too risky.

"They've demanded a helicopter in the next ten minutes, and Headquarters has agreed to their terms. Now, they're threatening Colonel Wright....

Morris paused, his expression darkening.

"Go on!" Wilson ordered, his voice sharp. "What exactly are they threatening Colonel Wright with?"

Miles hesitated before answering, anger seeping into his words, "They've threatened to strip Colonel Wright and film it. They plan to use the footage as leverage for their safe escape."

"Monsters!" Xavier growled, his face twisting in fury. "Why haven't we deployed snipers yet? Why aren't we taking them out?"

"They're carrying bombs ... " Morris immediately responded.

Wilson, brows furrowed, looked at Robin. "General Ramsey, what's your plan?

"If we wait for the military to send a helicopter, Freya will be subjected to unimaginable humiliation. If that video gets out, not only will it ruin her, but it will disgrace the entire Draconian military" Talia, shaking with rage, stepped forward. "I'll go!"

"Stop right there!" Wilson snapped, his tone commanding. "What are you thinking? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Ernest, equally enraged, stepped up, his fists clenched. "General Wilson, let us go in and take them down!"

"Do you want to storm in and die with them?" Robin gave a sharp look toward the dense forest. "We should've acted faster, instead of waiting around like this."

"Then what do we do?" Miles asked, looking at Robin with a mix of confusion and curiosity. His lack of familiarity with Robin's rank was clear.

"I'll go in," Robin said, his voice unwavering.

"By yourself?"

Robin turned to Mark and the others. "Mark, you four stay here and keep an eye on things with the binoculars."noveldrama

"Yes, sir," Mark and his team replied, their reluctance evident.

Talia took a step forward. "Mr. Robin, let me go with you!"

Before Wilson could protest, Robin nodded. "Stay behind me, and don't act on your own. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" Talia responded, her voice tinged with excitement.

In one fluid motion, Robin tore a cloth off a temporary command table and started toward the forest.

Ernest hurried to catch up. "Instructor Ramsey, are you sure you can handle this alone?"

Robin shot him a cold glance. "Stay here and observe."

"Understood," Ernest muttered, confusion clouding his features.

Wilson, Jack, and Xavier handed out binoculars, focusing on Robin and Talia as they ventured deeper into the woods.

With careful, deliberate steps, Robin and Talia advanced.

Suddenly, six men dressed in black emerged, raising their weapons. "Stop right there! Take one more step, and we'll shoot you both!" Talia froze, her body trembling with fear.

In that instant, she could feel the menacing energy radiating from the assassins-a chilling presence that was as palpable as it was terrifying.

These were killers who had no hesitation in ending lives, men who had long walked the fine line between life and death, and their very presence oozed danger. Robin, unfazed, casually shrugged. "Anyone who dares speak to me like that is already dead."

Before the assassins could even react, six silver needles whistled through the air, striking them with deadly precision.

The assassins froze, their bodies going stiff as their lives ended in an instant.

Robin covered Freya's exposed body with the cloth.

She collapsed into his arms and sobbed like a child, completely overwhelmed by her emotions.

This was the first time the normally stoic Freya had shown such vulnerability to her comrades-her body shaking as tears streamed down her face.

In that moment, Freya clung to Robin, finding in his embrace a sense of safety she had long been deprived

1. of.

Robin gently patted her shoulder. "It's alright. Whoever did this to you will regret ever being born."

He then pointed to Talia. "Go untie them."

The six assassins, still frozen in place, stood motionless, unable to comprehend what had just happened or how Robin had appeared in front of them.

Freya wiped her eyes, her face still tear-streaked. With trembling fingers, she pointed to the leader of the assassins. "I told him I'd make sure he never sees again. Robin nodded, his expression cold. A flash of steel gleamed in his eyes, and with a swift motion, he gouged out the man's eyes, causing him to scream in agony. The forest echoed with the agonized scream, "Ah! It's the Devil!"

Robin shoved Freya into Talia's arms and spun back toward the leader. With brutal force, he stomped down on the man's thigh.

A sickening crack rang out as the bones shattered. The man screamed, "Kill me now!"

Robin raised an eyebrow, unbothered. "Aren't you all supposed to be fearless? If you're not afraid of death, then why are you so scared of a life worse than death?"

At that moment, reinforcements from Dragon Soul and Dark Panther rushed forward.

"Take them all back!" Morris commanded.

Several soldiers hurried to grab the six assassins and drag them out of the woods.

"Let them go!" Robin's voice was cold and threatening. "Did I give you permission to take them?"

Morris glared at Robin. "They're prisoners, and they must be treated humanely. You can't just execute them!"

"When they shot your men, did they show any mercy?" Robin sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. In one swift motion, he snapped the neck of the assassin leader, killing him instantly. "The world has always followed one simple rule-blood debts must be repaid in blood!

"To hell with humanity!"
