Chapter 199 Angering Crest Security Syndicate

Chapter 199 Angering Crest Security Syndicate

Nightshade's face remained expressionless, but her eyes radiated pure killing intent.

If it were someone else begging for mercy on their knees, she might have shown some leniency. But not these people.

After all, her orders were crystal clear: leave no one alive.

Seeing that the murderous aura around her showed no signs of softening, the group trembled uncontrollably, panic flooding their faces.

"Wait, wait! I have something to say!"

One man's voice cracked with desperation, cold sweat streaming down his face.

Watching his frantic state, Nightshade's expression remained ice-cold.

"What do you want to say?"

Under her unrelenting gaze, he rushed to speak.

"I know what you're after. I know what you're planning to do. I can give you information—just spare me. Please."

Hearing this, Nightshade's eyes remained cold, her face emotionless.

"You think I need whatever scraps you have to offer?"

After all, they'd already obtained everything they needed before making their move. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here cleaning up loose ends.

Seeing that Nightshade had no intention of backing down, panic flashed across his face again.

"Wait! I have more to say!"

At this, Jaxon glanced at him, his expression blank.

"What else?"

Under Jaxon's icy stare, the man scrambled to explain.

"I have classified intel. It's about Jaxon. Information you definitely don't have. If you let me live, I'll hand it over."

The moment she heard it involved Jaxon, Nightshade paused mid-motion and fixed him with a sharp look.

"What information? If it's useful, I'll spare you."

At her words, excitement flickered across his face as he hastily pulled out the documents.

Nightshade wasted no time taking them from him.

She scanned the pages briefly, and her expression turned ice-cold in an instant.

"Is this real?"

Under her demanding tone, he nodded frantically.

"If the original records were compiled properly, I can guarantee there's no mistake."

Seeing his definitive answer, a flash of cold light passed through Nightshade's eyes. She had no intention of wasting more words on him.

"Good."

Nightshade nodded thoughtfully. The man's face lit up with hope.

"So does that mean I can—"

Before he could finish, Nightshade's blade sliced across his throat.

Blood sprayed out. His eyes went wide, but before he could even struggle, he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Nightshade's gaze remained cold as she flicked the blood off her blade.

"Kill them all. Leave no one standing."

At her command, the rest were eliminated before they could even react.

Once the cleanup was complete, Nightshade issued her next order.

"We're leaving."

Her team immediately followed.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

……

Soon after, Nightshade returned to the villa and immediately reported to Jaxon.

"General Storm, there's something you need to see."

At her words, Jaxon turned with a questioning look.

Under his gaze, Nightshade's brow furrowed as she pulled out the documents.

The moment Jaxon saw the contents, his expression darkened.

"Is this real?"

At his sharp question, Nightshade frowned and nodded.

"It's what he said right before he died. I don't think he was lying."

Hearing this, Jaxon clenched his fists, fury blazing in his eyes.

"Those damn bastards. I will not let them get away with this."

The documents weren't just random intel—they were directly connected to the deaths of his parents. He'd always thought Crest Security Syndicate only had a grudge against his military forces.

But no. They were involved in his parents' deaths too.

His parents had been killed by The Main Storms years ago, and these people had played a role in it. If they hadn't supplied information and resources, things might have turned out differently.

The more Jaxon read, the angrier he became, killing intent surging through him.

"Spread the word immediately. Their entire intelligence network has been wiped out. Let's see if they can still sit still after hearing that."

Nightshade nodded repeatedly.

"Understood. I'll arrange it right away."

The moment the news went public, Crest Security Syndicate received word.

Seeing that so many of their operatives had been killed, they erupted in rage.

"That damn bastard! He killed so many of our people—we have to take him down!"

"Exactly! We can't let him live. This is an insult we can't ignore!"

As the high-ranking members of Crest Security Syndicate shouted their fury, a deep, commanding voice cut through the chaos.

"Find out what kind of forces he has first. Then we crush him completely. We can't let him derail our plans."

The speaker was none other than Jasper Shaw, the leader of Crest Security Syndicate.

At his words, the executives nodded in unison.

"Understood."

Under his orders, his subordinates immediately launched an investigation into Jaxon.

They moved quickly and discreetly—but their little tricks couldn't fool Jaxon.

"General Storm, they've started investigating you. What's our next move?"

At the question, Jaxon let out a soft laugh, cold intent flickering in his eyes.

"If they want to dig, then let's give them something to find."

A dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes. Nightshade understood immediately.

"Understood."

Under his deliberate arrangements, the other side soon obtained the 'relevant materials.'

Looking at the documents spread across the table, Jasper sneered, contempt written all over his face.

"I thought he'd be more impressive. Just because he took down the Storm family, he thinks he can stand against Crest Security Syndicate? How naive."

His eyes gleamed with menace, cold light flickering within.

"Mobilize our forces. Since he doesn't know his place, we'll send him to his grave."

Jasper's expression was vicious, arrogance radiating from him. At his command, his subordinates sprang into action.

This time, he wouldn't just kill Jaxon—he'd uproot the entire Storm family and take control of everything.

Their goal was to dominate all of Frostkeep. The Storm family was destined to fall eventually. This just meant moving up the timeline.

Crest Security Syndicate moved swiftly. Their forces assembled quickly and headed straight for the Storm Manor.

For them, the priority was clear: eliminate Jaxon first.

Once Jaxon was dead, the rest wouldn't pose any threat.

……

Meanwhile, Jaxon received word of their movements.

He wasn't surprised. This was exactly the kind of thing Crest Security Syndicate would do.

But they'd miscalculated. Jaxon had been preparing for this moment. This time, none of them were leaving alive.

Late that night, Crest Security Syndicate members gathered swiftly outside the villa, eyes brimming with killing intent. Jasper made no effort to hide his arrogance as he kicked open the car door and strode toward the villa with the swagger of a man who feared nothing.

"Jaxon! Get your ass out here!"

"Enough talk. I've been waiting for you."
