Chapter 1

The setting sun dyed the sky blood red, and sand filled the air!

In the Western Region more than a hundred kilometers away from the frontier of the enemy country, a three-month terrifying battle was coming to an end. The scene was like purgatory on earth.

A young man in plain clothes with the Blood Shadow Saber in his hand sat on the ground, he was Howard Lincoln, the Blood Shadow's commander-in-chief, the King of the West!

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, the message alert tone sounded, and Howard took out his mobile phone to take a look. He had received two voice messages.

"Daddy, why…why are you ignoring me? I…I'm Riley… I've sent you so many messages… Why…Why didn't you reply to me…"

"I…I'm so scared. The bad guys locked me up… I can't find mommy…"

A little girl sent the voice messages, and it was obvious that she was terrified.

Howard contained his emotions and replied, "Little girl, you contacted the wrong person. I'm not your dad. Are you in danger?"

This number had already sent him two messages last night, and the content was similar to this one. However, as someone who was battling in the blood-soaked war, he had no time to handle the wrongly-sent message.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Howard received another message. This time, the little girl was already crying.

"Daddy, you're lying! Mommy said…this is your number… Daddy, am I not a good girl? Is that why you don't want me?"

"I'm really scared. The…the bad guys said after to…today, I won't be able to see you and mommy anymore…I'm so scared…"

"Daddy, you don't know what I look like, right? I…I took a photo on my birthday last month. I'll send it to you now. Daddy, you have to remember how I look, okay…"

A picture was sent after the voice message, and it was of a beautiful girl with porcelain skin. The little girl appeared to be around five years old, her eyes were so big and expressive, and she also had a pair of dimples, appearing extremely adorable.

Boom! 

After seeing this photo, a monstrous killing intent exploded from Howard like a flash flood! The momentum was so strong that it could destroy everything in sight!

In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped to freezing point, and it became suffocating. The five young men standing aside could not help but shiver, and they were shocked. After all, they had followed Howard for so many years, but they had never felt this level of killing intent!

"Marshal, what's going on?" Yoel took a deep breath and asked.

Howard did not answer him. Instead, he dialed the little girl's number. However, all he got was a beeping sound, indicating that the call could not be connected. Howard did not give up and called again, but it was the same.

"Yoel, I don't care how, but get me to Mendorra right away!" Howard turned to Yoel and roared, burning with murderous intent.

"Yes, marshal!" Yoel did not waste time and immediately made a call.

"Carbonemys, use all our resources and find someone to locate this phone number!" Howard then looked at the other four and read the little girl's phone number.

"Yes!" The four men saluted and hurried to work.

Five minutes later, an off-road vehicle accelerated toward the frontier.

In the car, Yoel looked at the murderous Howard in the passenger seat and asked, "Marshal, what happened?"

"She's really my daughter!" Howard's voice was piercing cold, and his eyes were red.

As Howard spoke, the scenes of the past appeared in his mind one after another. He had a bumpy life. He left home at an early age, wandered in Mendorra, and was adopted by the head of the Ziegler family. One night five years ago, his adoptive father's entire family was killed. Howard narrowly escaped with several knives and was rescued by the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family, Talia Jenkins.

Shortly after Talia took him to a hotel, he fainted from exhaustion. Talia bought him medicine and treated his injuries, and it was not until the evening two days later that he regained some sense of consciousness.

When Howard woke up, he hugged Talia like a child and cried out in grief and anger. Talia held him tightly in her arms out of pity, knowing that Howard needed a way to vent his emotions. As Howard was half-conscious then, he did not remember what happened next.

Howard woke up the next day and found that Talia had left, leaving behind a note. She told him that the man who killed his adoptive father might find him here soon, and he should leave Mendorra as soon as possible and never return. Additionally, Talia also informed that she took his dragon-shaped jade pendant, keeping it as a memento.

Initially, Howard only regarded Talia as a savior, and he thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he must repay her for saving his life. Yet, when he saw the jade pendant held by the little girl just now, he understood everything.

That night five years ago, Howard had done an inhuman act. Not only did he hurt Talia, but he also got her pregnant! What made him even more regretful was that his daughter had asked for his help since yesterday, but he thought it was a wrong message!

"I'm really scared. The…the bad guys said after to…today, I won't be able to see you and mommy anymore…I'm so scared…"

Recalling his daughter's voice full of despair, Howard felt an excruciating pain in his heart, and he wanted to slap himself! Not only was he a bad husband, but he was also a horrible father!

King of the West? Lord of the Shadow Sect? Those titles were nothing but rubbish! He could not even protect his own daughter, and he did not deserve to be called a father!

"Marshal, allow us to follow you to Mendorra!"

An hour later, the off-road vehicle rushed into a controlled airport, and Yoel led the four generals to shout at the same time.

Along the way, they also got a general understanding of the matter, and they were also filled with killing intent. Someone dared to attack the marshal's daughter? Were they trying to dig their own grave as well as their families'?!

"Yoel will follow me, while the four of you will stay in the Western Region to deal with the aftermath. If you disobey, you'll be dealt with by military law!" Howard reminded them with a deep voice, and he rushed into the plane with Yoel close behind him.

Two minutes later, a fighter jet shot straight into the sky, piercing the sky like a bolt of lightning and flying directly toward Mendorra.

Chapter 2

Within the country, right beside Mendorra, south of Nimbulus.

An unlicensed van drove out of an abandoned factory area and sped toward the suburbs. Besides the driver, three tattooed men and a young girl about the age of four were in the vehicle.

At this time, the little girl's face was pale, her big eyes were full of endless fear, and she was trembling slightly.

The man with a scar on his face looked at the bald man. "Bob, how do you handle things! I told you to watch the little girl, and you didn't even know she had a phone with her?!" 

"She's so young! I didn't expect her mom to give her a mobile phone!"

"Be more alert next time!" The scarred man responded. "Thankfully, we noticed it early. Otherwise, the four of us will be in big trouble if someone really comes for her!"

"Got it, Larry!" Bob nodded hard.

"Larry, who on earth wants this little girl? The pay is so generous! It's not an ordinary person, right?" Another guy with a buzz cut, Dave, asked.

"Don't ask things you shouldn't ask. Just do your task well!" Larry answered coldly. An obvious look of fear flashed in his eyes as if the other party's identity frightened him.

"I was only curious. Then Larry, do you know why they want us to kidnap this kid?" Dave added.

"I heard it's for a heart transplant surgery for another little girl!" Larry nodded lightly.

Dave gasped. "Damn! That cruel? So this girl is dying for sure?"

"What do you think?" Larry glanced at him.

"Whatever!" Dave shrugged.

When Riley heard their conversation, she burst into tears. "I won't die. D-Daddy will come and save me…"

"Since when do you have a dad?" Larry turned to her and asked.

"You're an illegitimate child, and even your mom doesn't know who your dad is!"

"I'm not! I have a daddy…" Riley continued crying. "Y-You're a bunch of bad guys! M-My daddy will definitely not let you go…"

"Hehe. Even if you have a dad, he probably died long ago. Otherwise, why hasn't he come to see you for so many years?"

"Daddy…is not dead. He'll come to save me…" Riley shook her head hard. "Daddy will come…"

"Then when do you think your dad will come and save you? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?" Bob grinned.

"It's such a shame that your surgery is tonight. After tonight, you won't get to see your dad even if he comes!"

"N-No! I'll get to see daddy…" Riley cried out loud.

"Alright, stop teasing her!" Larry said and looked at the driver, "Simon, find a place where there's no surveillance to switch to another car before leaving!"

"Got it, Larry!" Simon nodded.

…

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a military four-wheel drive stopped at the gate of the abandoned factory south of Nimbulus. Before the car even stopped, Howard, who was full of murderous intent, kicked the car door open and rushed into the factory area.

An hour earlier, he and Yoel had just arrived at the Mendorra Military Airport when they received a message from Carbonemys informing them that Riley's phone number was not in Mendorra but in an industrial park on the outskirts of Nimbulus, Mendorra's neighboring city. Hence, the two drove a military four-wheel vehicle from Mendorra to Nimbulus.

"Are you sure the last message from Riley's phone came from here?" Howard glanced around and turned to look at Yoel behind him.

In the entire factory hall, except for a few old sofas and a few scrapped mechanical equipment, no one was there.

"Confirm!" Yoel nodded. "The accuracy of the military tracker is indisputable!"

Howard frowned and quickly walked to the door of a room inside. Then, he raised his hand and waved. The entire door panel burst instantly, and sawdust flew.

After seeing the pile of broken mobile phone parts on the ground, a massive murderous intent burst out from Howard again.

It was apparent that they were one step too late!

Yoel, who was standing behind him, shuddered uncontrollably! He knew that the city of Nimbulus was about to experience a major disaster! Whenever Commander Lincoln was angered, corpses would pile up!

Only he knew best how terrifying this marshal was. The name "Commander Lincoln" alone was enough to make billions of soldiers go crazy and in awe!

The godsent hero, the pride of the nation!

Three years ago, Howard was only twenty-two when he became a legend in the battalion, a figure no one could compare to! Alone, he defeated the powerful commanders of the Ten Kingdoms, making him known as the God of War!

Howard was ordered to keep watch in the Western Region, and then he formed the Blood Shadow Force. His might subdued the surrounding countries, and anyone that heard his name would be terrified!

Two years ago, Howard accepted a new position and took charge of a mysterious organization—The Shadow Sect. His duty was to eliminate and punish the evil to maintain order!

Three months ago, the enemy country on the western front was plotting chaos, leading the Blood Shadow Force to attack them directly. They beheaded the enemy commander, and only ten thousand of the millions of soldiers survived!

"Get to the bottom of this!" Howard ordered after calming himself down. "Get someone to coordinate with the Nimbulus Police Station and check all suspicious vehicles entering and leaving this area from the time I received Riley's news until now! Tell them that I must get an answer in half an hour!"

"Yes, sir!" Yoel nodded and made a call.

"When will the Judge arrive?" Howard asked when Yoel hung up.

The Judge he mentioned was one of the Five Blades of Shadow Sect! The Shadow Sect was split by geographical location. As the territory was divided into five districts, each district would be under the responsibility of the respective Blade!

"When I called him, he was on a mission out of town, and he said he would come immediately. If there's no accident, he should be here before evening!" Yoel replied.

"Mm!" Howard nodded lightly.

"Marshal, where should we go now?" Yoel asked when the two got into the car again.

After giving it a thought, Howard answered, "Have someone locate Talia. She might know who took Riley!"

"Okay!"

Then, Yoel sent out a text. Five minutes later, Yoel's text notification sounded. He read the message and said hesitantly, "Marshal, we've located Talia."

"Spill it!" Howard ordered.

"She's at the Nimbulus Grand Universal Hotel now," Yoel added after taking a deep breath.

"Huh?!" Howard turned to Yoel and frowned.

"Maybe she's just running errands…" Yoel took a deep breath again.

"Start the car!" Howard lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. His gaze was cold, and he appeared gloomy. Yoel stepped on the gas, and the vehicle accelerated.

Chapter 3

An hour ago, on a desolate land that stretched for dozens of kilometers at the territory's border, two ghostly figures chased after one another, and their speed was extremely fast.

The person in front was a man in his forties who appeared fierce. There was a shocking scar of more than ten centimeters on his face, and he was holding a shiny bardiche, exuding a strong sense of bloodthirstiness. The other person was around twenty-six years old. He was handsome and dressed in a brocade uniform, holding a steel saber. One could vaguely see the words "Shadow Sect" carved on the blade.

This saber was called the Cold Moon Saber!

"The Judge, you've been chasing me for three days and nights. Do you have to work so hard for your pitiful salary?"

The scarred man ran to a river and stopped, staring at the young man behind him like a beast.

"The Butcher, you've ruthlessly murdered the innocent, guilty of monstrous crimes!" The Judge also stopped in his tracks and shouted, "You'll die today!"

"Hmph!" The Butcher snorted. "Does the Shadow Sect really think they're the saviors? There are so many wicked people in the world. Can you kill them all?!"

"Eliminate and punish the evil to maintain order! May our blood be exchanged for a bright future!" The Judge replied loudly, "The Shadow Sect will kill anyone who's as evil as you, the Butcher!"

"Hmph!" The Butcher snorted again. "Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You're separated from your teammates. Killing me by yourself is just a fool's dream!"

"A fool!" The Judge's eyes darkened. "That's enough. I don't want to waste time on you anymore. Just enjoy your death!"

As soon as the Judge finished speaking, his silhouette shot out like a burst of lighting, and his saber pulled out dozens of sharp cold lights.

"You want to kill me? Let's see if you have the ability!" The Butcher roared and moved his hands, showing his forceful bardiche.

A series of ear-piercing clattering noises sounded, and sparks flickered as the blades danced in the air.

After the two fought for more than ten rounds, the Judge dodged and avoided the Butcher's strike. With a flick of his wrist, his saber cut open a wound of more than ten centimeters on the Butcher's waist, and blood spurted everywhere.

"Huh? You actually hurt me? Damn it!" The Butcher roared, slashing his bardiche down the Judge's shoulder as if he were chopping a wood block.

The Judge's pupils shrank slightly, and he swiftly dodged half of his figure to the side. At the same time, he raised his hand to block himself, and there was a crisp impact sound again.

The Butcher's violent force knocked the Judge back a few steps. He felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and his breath was slightly disordered.

Later, the Butcher did not hurriedly attack the Judge again. Instead, he tore a piece of his clothes and treated his wounds.

Suddenly, the Judge's satellite phone rang, and his expression changed slightly. Only a few people knew this number, and it was primarily used for emergency matters. Since someone was calling him, something big had surely happened!

The Judge glanced at the Butcher and picked up the call after making sure he did not have the intention to launch another attack.

"I'm the Judge. Who's this?"

"It's Yoel!" Yoel's solemn tone sounded. "Marshal's daughter was kidnapped, and we don't know if she's dead or alive. Come to Nimbulus now!"

"What?" The Judge shouted, and a suffocatingly cold aura burst out. Someone actually dared to kidnap the marshal's daughter? Was the person trying to have their entire family exterminated?!

"Give me a few hours. I'll be there as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, the Judge looked at the Butcher. "I don't have time to play with you. Remember to be a good person in your next life!"

As soon as he said that, the Judge's momentum instantly skyrocketed, several orders of magnitude stronger than before. Then, his figure burst out like a cannonball out of its chamber. The Judge moved his wrist, and the Cold Moon Saber drew out countless cold lights in the air, which condensed into an extremely intense net of blades, attacking the Butcher.

"Huh?!" The Butcher quickly felt a terrifying killing intent enveloping him, and his pupils shrank. He knew well that he could not handle this attack with his ability! Just as he wanted to dodge, the Butcher realized that all his escape routes were blocked by the sky full of blades, and there was no way to retreat!

The endless sword lights were all submerged into the Butcher's body, and the scene was calm again with only the whistling of the mountain wind. The next moment, the Butcher fell and was covered in blood.

"S-So strong…" After uttering the two words with great difficulty, the Butcher's legs twitched and died.

The Judge did not spare another glance at the Butcher and hurried away from where he came from. At the same time, he took out his satellite phone and made a call. When the other person picked up, he roared, "Notify all the three-star and above members of Eastern District. No matter where they're or what they're doing, rush to Nimbulus as soon as possible! Kill any violators!"

Following his order, all three-star and above personnel in the Shadow Sect's Eastern District stopped what they were doing and rushed toward Nimbulus. This was unprecedented in the Shadow Sect! In an instant, all forces in the Eastern District were panicking, not knowing what major issue had happened!

In Nimbulus, Grand Universal Hotel, Suite 808.

A man and a woman sat on a sofa. The man was in his late twenties, dressed in branded clothes from head to toe. He was imposing, holding a cigar in his left hand and a glass of red wine in his right. The woman had a peerless beauty that could make the heavens jealous. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with delicate facial features, a graceful figure, and gorgeous skin.

She was Talia Jenkins, Mendorra's most beautiful woman and Riley's mother!

Talia's eyes were red, her face was full of sadness, and she was faintly trembling.

"Y-Young Master Timothy, p-please help me find my daughter…"

Talia stood and knelt before the wealthy playboy, choked with sobs.

"Hehe. Talia, I bet you didn't expect to beg me for help one day, right?"

Timothy Aellus took a puff of his cigar and blew it on Talia's face.

"Aren't you very arrogant? Haven't you always disliked a rich guy like me? I've pursued you for three freaking years, and I don't even care that you have a child born out of wedlock. Yet, you never looked me straight in the eyes! What's going on with you now? Why are you lowering your arrogant self?"

"Young Master Timothy, you can say anything you want about me, but please help me…" The beautiful Talia wept as she kowtowed. "I can't find anyone else that can help me besides you… Please…"

"Do you really want me to help you?" Timothy's eyes distastefully scanned over Talia's figure. "What's in it for me?"

"A-As long as you can help me find my daughter, I'll do anything you want me too…"

Talia trembled. She naturally knew what the other party wanted, but she had no choice! Her daughter was her everything, and she could give up anything to find her back!

Including dignity, body, and life!

Chapter 4

"Anything?" Timothy grinned evilly.

"A-Anything…" Talia replied in a trembling voice.

"Haha! You were given a chance to do it the easy way, yet look at yourself now!" Timothy snorted, and his voice became deeper. "I can help you find your bastard child, but I have two conditions!"

"First, sit beside me immediately, and let me have a sweet taste of you. Second, after I help you find your bastard child,  you must accompany me unconditionally for a month and always be ready for me!"

"I-I agree…" Talia clenched her jaw and nodded.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Sit next to me now!" Timothy patted the empty seat beside him. "Give me a massage first! Once I feel good, I'll call someone to help you find your bastard child!"

"I hope you don't go back on your word…" Talia took another deep breath, got up, and sat beside Timothy.

"Come to me!" Before Talia even sat, Timothy immediately pulled her into his embrace.

At this time, the door burst open as if it was made of paper, and sawdust fluttered in the sky. Then, Howard's figure appeared. His gaze was cold and angry as he stared at the two people on the sofa without saying a word.

"Ahhh…" Talia screamed and broke free from Timothy's embrace when she realized what was happening.

"Who dares to disturb me! Are you tired of living!" Timothy roared angrily.

When Talia recognized Howard, she shivered, and tears kept rolling in her eyes. An extremely complex look flashed in her pupils; there was a shock, resentment, grievance, and a vague look of anticipation.

Why was it him?! Why was the man who ruined her life suddenly here?!

On that day five years ago, she kindly saved his life, but he took away her most precious thing.

As the most beautiful woman in Mendorra and the esteemed lady of the Jenkins family, Talia initially had a bright future! She was already past the first trimester when she discovered she was pregnant. She could not bear to take away the little life's right to live, so she resisted all the pressure and mothered the baby.

In the past five years, except for her sister, everyone had ridiculed her. Even her own parents could not understand her. Her grandfather, Albert Jenkins, originally wanted to use her marriage with one of the four most influential families in Mendorra, the Blake family, to improve their own status further. However, Albert drove her family of four out of the Jenkins mansion in a fit of anger.

At first, Talia and her dad, Holden Jenkins, were working in the Jenkins Group, and they both lost their jobs at the same time. In truth, they could actually find a good position to support their family with their capabilities, but the young master of the Blake family released a statement that anyone who dared to hire them would face dire consequences from the Blake family. Consequently, Talia and Holden met dead ends while looking for a job.

In desperation, the father-daughter duo could only beg Old Master Albert multiple times. The Old Master was probably too annoyed that he reluctantly let them work as ordinary clerks in the Jenkins Group, surviving on a meager salary.

Due to this, Talia and her small family of four had to move to Nimbulus. After living for years in this situation, Talia gradually got used to it. As long as her daughter could grow up healthy, she had nothing else to ask for!

However, God seemed to be pulling another trick on her again. Her daughter went missing! This was like a bolt from the blue, and Talia felt her life was falling apart!

"Don't you know that Riley's in trouble?" Howard looked at Talia indifferently after taking a deep breath.

When he entered the room and saw the two hugging each other on the sofa, Howard was fuming with anger, and the original guilt toward Talia vanished in a flash!

Her daughter was kidnapped, and no one knew whether she was alive. Yet, as a mother, Talia was in another man's embrace in the hotel!

Howard did not expect that Talia would be such a person! If she did not like children, why did she give birth and let Riley suffer!

"You're the father to Talia's bastard child? I was talking to you. Don't you hear me? Are you tired of living?!"

Timothy noticed that Howard completely ignored him, and he was incensed. After all, he was from the second most influential family in Nimbulus, the dignified young master of the Aellus family! Yet, Howard actually turned a blind to him. It was simply unbearable!

Just as Timothy finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind sweeping through. Then, he flew away like a ball. Timothy fell to the ground after slamming into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood and shouting in pain.

"You dared to hit me! I swear that I'll skin you alive. Otherwise, I'm not an Aellus. I…"

"Throw him away!" Howard still did not spare him another glance, staring straight at Talia.

"Yes!" Yoel entered the room.

"What are you trying to do? If you dare to touch me, I'll kill you!" Timothy roared again when he saw Yoel walking toward him.

Yoel slapped Timothy twice. "If you still want to stay alive, shut up!"

After saying that, Yoel picked Timothy up and left the room. Passing by Howard and Talia, he opened his mouth, speaking hesitantly, "Marshal, saving Riley is more urgent! We can talk about other matters later!"

Just as he said that, Yoel was already out the door. Howard took a deep breath, looked at Talia, and uttered coldly, "I'm asking you a question. Do you hear me? I don't blame you for neglecting your daughter, but tell me! Who took Riley! I want to go and save her!"

Before Howard could continue, Talia approached him with an icy gaze and slapped him. With Howard's skill, it was naturally possible for him to dodge, but he stood still, staring at Talia indifferently.

"Who do you think you are to speak to me that way?!" Talia burst into tears, staining her cheeks wet. "It's been five years. Do you know what type of life I've been living! Do you think that Timothy and I are on a secret rendezvous?! Do you think that I'm such a promiscuous woman?! You're not only insulting me, but you're also humiliating yourself! I really regret saving you and not minding my own business five years ago. If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have ended up in this ridiculous situation! Now that you're back, you use that tone to question me before confirming the truth! Who do you think you are?! Riley's my daughter, and this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about her matters! From today onward, I don't want to see you again!"

Talia's voice was hoarse from the shouting and crying, and her chest was soaked in tears. She appeared to be in extreme pain. After saying that, Talia pushed Howard away, covering her face with both hands as she quickly ran toward the door tremblingly.

"Talia!" Howard realized what was happening and hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Don't touch me! Get away from me!" Talia shook her arm hard and dashed out the room.

Chapter 5

In the aisle, Yoel, who had just handled Timothy, saw Talia and shouted, "Ms. Talia, where are you going?"

However, Talia ignored him and swiftly disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.

"Stop her!" Howard rushed out of the room and shouted. After listening to Talia's cry just now, Howard had a feeling that he might have misunderstood her.

"Yes, sir!" Yoel turned and chased after Talia. Just as Yoel took two steps, his phone rang, and he picked up the call as he ran.

"Really?!" Yoel stopped running immediately. The other party said something, causing Yoel to frown. "We'll be there immediately!"

"What's the matter?" Howard was already beside Yoel.

"They found the four men who kidnapped Riley!" Yoel hung up the phone and informed gloomily, "But they're all dead!"

"Huh?!" Howard frowned and looked in the direction Talia had disappeared into. Then, he paused for a moment before saying, "Let's go and have a look first!"

For him, nothing's more important than saving Riley!

Three minutes later, Yoel stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away.

"Marshal, I think you might've misunderstood Ms. Talia!" Yoel said as he drove. "I've asked that Young Master Timothy, and he said Ms. Talia came to him to beg him to help find Riley. Based on his explanation, Ms. Talia also didn't know who took Riley! When this happened, Ms. Talia was about to go crazy from the anxiety. She went everywhere to ask for help, but no one who could help her was willing to lend a helping hand. She also reported the matter to the police, but there's no clue and progress so far! In desperation, she could only beg Timothy. But if Ms. Talia wanted Timothy to help her, she would have to agree to one condition…so Ms. Talia had no other way. To find Riley, she had no choice!"

"Mm!" Howard nodded slightly, and his eyes slightly reddened. The guilt in his heart flooded every cell in his body like a flash flood, and he trembled uncontrollably. Howard thought he was extremely useless! When Talia was most miserable and helpless, not only did he fail to comfort her, but he doubted her. He did not act like a man at all!

The next moment, Howard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breathing became uneven.

"Marshal!" Yoel shouted. "Are you okay? Don't blame yourself, and pay attention to your health. You're not fully healed, and the anger will definitely worsen your wounds!"

As Howard's left-hand man, he was very aware of Howard's injuries. Two years ago, Howard fought the other top generals of the Ten Kingdoms. Even though he won, Howard was severely injured by the other ten people, and his foundation was greatly affected.

Howard was equally gifted in medical skills and martial art, but doctors could not treat themselves. Moreover, the injury was too serious, and it was impossible for him to recover in a short time. Hence, he could only let time heal him.

"I'm fine!" Howard wiped away the bloodstain. "Drive faster!|

"Yes!" Yoel increased the speed. "Marshal, don't worry. Riley will be fine!"

Howard did not answer Yoel. Instead, he focused on the road ahead, emitting intense killing intent.

Forty minutes later, Yoel stopped the car at a recycling center. The two looked around and found about fifty people were discussing something around a small car.

After seeing the two get out of the car, the leading police officer in his fifties quickly greeted them respectfully. "Nice to meet you. May I know which one of you is Chief Yoel?"

"Me!" Yoel replied in a hoarse voice.

The man stood straight and saluted. "I'm Milan Jake of Nimbulus Police Station, reporting to Chief Yoel! Chief Yoel, p!ease give us your instruction."

An hour ago, he was hosting a special meeting in the bureau. Just halfway through, his phone rang, and he realized it was a call from his immediate boss. After answering the phone, he could not help shivering, his face was full of horror, and he was sweating all over. He had a hunch that the sky of Nimbulus was about to collapse! The boss told him on the phone that the daughter of an important figure in the Blood Shadow Force was kidnapped, which happened in Nimbulus! As the head of Nimbulus Police Station, Milan naturally knew what the Blood Shadow Force was!

It was an iron-willed army formed by the legendary King of the West, Commander Lincoln! From the beginning of its founding to the present, it experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, without a single defeat. A simple mention of them would make any enemy tremble in fear! Yet, someone actually kidnapped the daughter of an important figure in the Blood Shadow Force!  Was there anything more terrifying than this?!

"What's the situation?" Yoel asked as they walked toward the car.

Milan took a deep breath and answered, "Chief Yoel, the four kidnappers were slashed at their throats, and no useful clues were found at the scene."

As he spoke, he glanced at Howard. Although Howard remained silent, Milan sensed a monarch-like aura from him, making him feel like he could not stand upright. He had never felt this before! A storm surged in Milan's heart, and he had already speculated about Howard's identity.

This man was most likely that legendary figure! King of the West, Commander Lincoln! This made him even more terrified. He never thought that Commander Lincoln's daughter was the one involved. This was simply horrifying! He could not wait to catch the perpetrators and execute them one by one! They were simply ignorant!

Not long after, the three of them came to the car, and Howard stooped into the vehicle. The four men were slumped in their seats with bloody cuts on their throat, and their upper body was soaked with blood. When Howard saw a child's shoe left on the back seat, a frightening murderous intent spread, instantly sweeping over the space.

All the police, including Milan, shuddered. The momentum was simply suffocating.

Outside the vehicle, Milan looked at Yoel. "Chief Yoel, may I know if he's…"

"Don't ask things you shouldn't!" Yoel replied. "Knowing more won't be beneficial for you!"

"Yes, sir!" Milan responded respectfully.

After getting out of the car, Howard ordered, "Go and investigate! Find out the identities of these four people as quickly as possible, who they've been in contact with within the last few days, and screen them all! When you find a suspicious person, report it to me as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!" Milan saluted.

"You'll be personally responsible for this!" Howard looked at Milan. "Also, tell your subordinates not to leak our identities!"

As soon as he said that, Howard turned around and walked toward his car, with Yoel following him close behind. Following his command, all the systems of the Nimbulus Police Station were running at high speed, and the entire Nimbulus immediately entered a state of emergency.
