"Open your face cover!"Anne blinked, trying to adapt to the piercing light. Once fully open, she cast a scanning gaze at the group of people gathered right in front of her. After the shootout with the Sicilian mafia members, she and her father had no choice but to surrender. They were then forced into a car. With their faces covered by cloth, they were taken to a location whose exact whereabouts were uncertain. "Happy to be reunited with you, Giorgino Lopez," greeted a middle-aged man who was lounging in front of them. "I had to deploy quite a few men to catch a rat like you." Giorgino smiled. There was not a trace of fear on his face. Instead, he seemed to be mocking. "Don Luca..." he whispered. "I mourn the fact that I caused you so much trouble in finding me. Was I too clever for your underlings, making them take so long to locate me?" Luca returned a sardonic smile. S

Kaivan occasionally peeked out from behind the window at the vast expanse of clouds as he was on an airplane. This evening, he, Hans, Dominique, and several members of the special forces who were intentionally brought along to confront Luca, set off for the man's home country. After hours in the air and two airport transfers, they finally set foot in Catania, Italy, at night. Before commencing the battle, Kaivan needed to meet with the scattered members of the Witch Hunter group there. He had to fine-tune the entire strategy that had been devised to penetrate the defenses of Italy's number one mafia. "Welcome, Mr. Kaivan. We've been waiting for all of you," greeted a large-bodied man who was none other than Xavier, one of the leaders of the Witch Hunter clan. "Good to see you again, Xavier. How's Theodore?" he asked. Kaivan remembered the founder of the Witch Hunter Clan. Thanks to him, Theodore's life had been saved from danger in the past.

Noah appeared to be adjusting the fastenings of the bulletproof vest he was wearing. Once it was properly in place, he walked towards the weapons storage room. Shortly after, he began selecting a few of the best pistols to use against the Sicilian mafia. "Noah, are you ready?" As he was engrossed in preparing his gear, he was addressed from behind. Without delay, the fair-skinned man turned around. He nodded respectfully to the middle-aged woman who was none other than the leader of the entire MI6 agency. Standing beside her was another woman, well-proportioned, whom Noah had not met before. "Mrs. Laurence," he greeted. He then walked slowly towards her. "I'm ready. Just waiting for the signal to depart." Laurence smiled. In the next moment, she waved to the woman standing next to her."Before we depart, you need to get acquainted with one of MI6's finest agents. Her name is Julie. She'll be y

It's hard to keep track of how many times Noah paced back and forth while waiting for news from the doctor who was busy attending to Anna Maria. Upon learning that his younger sibling had been shot, he paid no attention to his surroundings and immediately rushed her to the hospital in Palermo. He handed her over to the medical team for intensive treatment as soon as possible. Giorgino was no different, anxiety evident on his middle-aged face. Just as he had reunited with his daughter, he was confronted with the reality that his youngest child had fallen victim to the cruelty of the Sicilian mafia. If you counted, it had been over two hours that the father and son had been waiting outside the operating room. Before long, a female doctor emerged and provided an update on Anna Maria's current condition. "How is my sister, Doctor? Is her wound very serious? Can she be saved?" Noah bombarded with numerous questions. Meanwhile

Overall, Anne has been in the hospital for a week now. The woman has even moved from the ICU to a VIP care room. All the medical equipment that was originally attached to her body has been removed one by one. Anne is even free to sit and lie down on her own without assistance from anyone. Today, it's Julie's turn to keep Anne company. Meanwhile, Noah himself, the man, appears to be busy discussing with the doctor who has been taking care of his sister. Although they hadn't known each other before, Julie and Anne seem familiar with each other. They often engage in light conversations and even serious discussions. "I thought you and Noah had been working together for a long time. I just didn't expect you to be willing to even tolerate working with him." Julie smiled. She understood Anne's meaning well. While continuing to peel the apple in her hand, she responded, "I've only gotten to know him recently
