Chapter 585


    Over the years, Elisea had endured a hellish training regimen, suffering through hardships to finally stand out from the pool of


    selected members, barely earning a sliver of trust from Jarvis.


    Jonas watched with a heart that clenched in pain, finally understanding why Elisea''s back bore so many scars fromshes! A


    cold glint shed in his eyes. "Jarvis," he swore silently, "I''ll make sure you pay dearly for this."


    With that thought, Jonas picked up his cell phone and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window. He dialed Brendan and issued


    instructions for the uing operation. This time, he was determined to teach Jarvis a lesson he wouldn''t forget.


    As Jonas gazed out of the window, his heart swelled with tenderness for Elisea. After all she had been through these years, he


    vowed to double his efforts to treat her right in the future.


    Meanwhile, Elisea had slipped away from the beachfront vi and covertly checked into a nondescript motel. There, she hacked


    into the shadowy web, remotely surveying the current state of the NK organization back in her home country.


    Her mother had been ostensibly living a life of luxury under Jarvis'' watch, but in reality, she was under house arrest. Elisea


    wondered how her mother was managing without her presence.


    Her eyes flicked across the digital feeds until she focused on the modest courtyard her mother called home. The tidy space


    brought a small measure offort to Elisea.


    The camera panned around, and there was her mother, sitting in a corner of the yard, seemingly having breakfast. Seeing her


    mother''s familiar silhouette brought tears to Elisea''s eyes; the sorrow was overwhelming. Her mother looked even more frail than


    before she left.


    The morning sun bathed the courtyard in light as her mother, with trembling hands, fumbled for something, nearly knocking over


    a teapot. Elisea''s heart wrenched. Her mother''s eyesight had been failing when she left, and now it seemed she could no longer


    see.


    Elisea watched her mother struggle with the simple task of preparing a bowl of oatmeal and couldn''t hold back her sobs. Her


    mother had been subsisting on such meager fare; no wonder she had be so gaunt.


    Through her tears, Elisea whispered apologies to her mother,menting her failure to win their freedom after three long years.


    As she wept silently, footsteps approached her room. She quickly closed the remote feed and wiped away her tears, alert and


    wary.


    The door swung open, and in strode a man in a wide-brimmed hat, the dark figure of Landon. He cast a hungry, predatory smile


    at Elisea''s reddened eyes. "Elisea, the boss has new orders. You''re to return to our homnd immediately."


    "What?" Elisea stood up in surprise. "What about the mission here?"


    "Don''t worry about it," Landon replied dismissively. "Someone else will handle it."


    Elisea''s eyes widened in disbelief. "But why? Who''s taking over my mission?"


    With a mocking nce at Elisea''s delicate face, Landon sneered, "Your current state doesn''t suit an assassin. You don''t need to


    concern yourself with the rest. The job to take out Jonas has been passed to me. You should head back."


    Elisea was furious to hear her mission had been usurped by Landon. "No! The boss promised me freedom for my mother and


    me if | took down Jonas. He can''t break his word!" If she missed this chance, Elisea knew their freedom could be indefinitely


    dyed.


    Landonughed cruelly, lifting her chin with a rough hand. "Elisea, look at yourself, all soft and smitten. You''ve lost your edge to


    Jonas. You''ll never be able to kill him."


    Stung by his words, Elisea shoved his hand away, turning towards the window with a frosty voice, "Give me three days. I''ll prove


    I can do it.”


    Landon scoffed. "We''ll see about that."


    With a defiant look, Elisea stormed out of the room. Landon''s gaze followed her retreating figure.


    Elisea didn''t return to the vi for the next two days, and Jonas didn''t seek her out, each lost in their own machinations. On the


    third morning, with the sun shining brilliantly, Jonas stood atop the CT Technologies building, eyeing the hotel across the street.


    He smirked andmanded into his cell phone, "Let''s move!"


    At Jonas’ signal, Brendan and his team of sharp associates swiftly and silently encircled the entire hotel.

    Before he could cover himself, Brendan, who had been listening outside, kicked the door down and, seizing the moment of


    Landon''s shock, pinned him down with his well-trained associates.

    With those words, Brendan reached into his jacket and pulled out a pair of gleaming handcuffs, striding towards Landon with a

    Caught in the act and now cornered, Landon let out a roar like a cornered animal, baring his teeth viciously at Brendan. His eyes


    were dark pools of despair, realizing his fate was sealed.
