Chapter 1082:
Katrina had made the difficult decision to abandon the fight. Looking at the current situation with clear eyes, she could see that it would be nearly impossible for the Serpent Society assassins to defeat the Evans bodyguards. The two groups were too evenly matched.
She had brought the very best killers the Serpent Society had to offer. But Jason’s men were clearly the elite fighters of the Evans family. When two forces of this caliber collided, the most likely outcome was mutual destruction.
It was better to withdraw now while she still had fighters left than to let both sides bleed until there was nothing remaining. Maxine was definitely going to punish her harshly for failing to eliminate Elliana. If she also lost the Serpent Society’s top assassination squad in the process, Maxine might very well kill her just to release some of her anger. Retreating was the only smart choice left.
The assassins dressed in black were struggling against their opponents. When they heard Katrina’s command, they quickly began falling back toward her position. They were ready to escape into the night.
But just as they started to move, Jason’s voice cut through the air like a blade of ice. “Did you honestly think you could just walk away from here p>
Before his words had even finished echoing, more of the Evans family’s bodyguards began emerging from the shadows around them. They moved with silent efficiency, completely cutting off every possible escape route.
Earlier in the evening, Jason had been forced to quickly assemble a security team from Ublento. He needed enough fighters to control a crowd of over twenty thousand people. To save precious time, he had called in nearly every top-level combatant from Moonveil. These were not ordinary bodyguards. They were some…
Of the most dangerous fighters money could buy. Now they stepped out of the darkness like ghosts materializing from thin air.
In just a few heartbeats, Katrina and her assassins found themselves completely surrounded.
Katrina stared at the solid wall of hostile faces pressing in around her. Her heart began hammering against her ribs like a caged bird trying to escape. She spun around to face Jason directly, and the words came tumbling out of her mouth. “What exactly do you want p>

A harsh laugh broke from Jason’s throat. “You came here tonight to murder Elliana. What do you honestly think I want from you now p>
He didn’t waste another second on words. His body moved like a striking snake as he launched himself forward with deadly intent.
The Evans family bodyguards followed Jason’s example instantly. They surged toward the trapped assassins like a powerful wave crashing against the shore. The peaceful clearing transformed into a war zone once again, filled with the sounds of clashing weapons and desperate fighting.
High above the violent chaos below, Cole guided the private jet through the night sky with the skill of a master pilot. Within just a few minutes, they had reached the airspace directly above the towering cliffs of Beakcliff.
Elliana pressed her face against the small cabin window and peered down at the rocky landscape far beneath them. Another sleek private jet sat parked on the flat surface of the cliff like a sleeping metal bird. A small group of men dressed entirely in black stood in a tight formation beside the aircraft. At the very edge of the cliff, where the rock dropped away into empty darkness, a lone figure stood perfectly still.
