Chapter 42
Danielle glared at Jackson with her piercing gaze. She fired four hots at Jackson. None of her shots hit his vital points. She hit his wrists and legs. She wanted to torture Jackson slowly for Bullying Elliot.
Jackson had not expected Danielle to suddenly shoot him. He was bleeding profusely, and his face turned pale.
Jackson screamed, “Shadow, are you fucking crazy? You shot me for these idiots.”
Danielle smiled and said, “Jackson, you messed with my men. These four shots are just the appetizers I’ve prepared for you. I’ll slowly torture you to death.”
Danielle’s smile was so creepy that it made one’s hair stand on
end.
The soldiers were stunned. They wondered if Shadow and Elliot were acquaintances. Shadow’s ruthlessness shocked all of them. She shot the leader of the Wulf Clan four times as soon as she made her appearance.
David looked at Danielle with a doting expression.
Nathan thought, ‘Miss Darling is a woman of action. She shot Jackson without any prior notice. I’ve to be careful not to offend her in the future.‘
“Seize Jackson,” David ordered his subordinates.
His men replied, “Noted.”
Jackson knew that if Hades’s men seized him, he would surely die. Fortunately, he had planned an escape route for himself. “Hades and Shadow, the Wulf Clan has fallen apart, but I’ll surely take my revenge on you.” Jackson laughed maniacally. He pressed a switch, and the door of the auction hall closed. They were trapped in here now.
A group of Wulf Clan members appeared on the second floor with guns in their hands and fired at the people on the first floor.
David quickly pulled Danielle into his arms and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” After saying that, Danielle broke free from David’s embrace.
Then, she turned to look at Elliot and his group and said calmly You’re injured. Take cover.”
After that, she began to shoot back at the men on the second floor.
As Danielle’s right–hand man, Aiden joined the battle with pistols in both hands. He reached the second floor with a single leap.
Nathan was astonished by Aiden’s athletic ability and courage. Aiden actually went up to the second floor alone.
Nathan figured Aiden’s strength was on par with his own. Nathan also went to the second floor to help him.
David looked at Danielle who was calm and proficient in shooting. With him around, he saw no need for Danielle to put herself in danger. He pulled Danielle closer and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll go settle this.”
“I can manage.” Danielle wanted to rush upstairs as well.

Chapter 42
David grabbed her tightly. He was both limpressed and shocked by Danielle’s boldness.
David ordered, “Stay here. Be good.”
Danielle obeyed David’s order and did not charge forward.
Elliot and his group were speechless when they witnessed David and Danielle’s interaction.
David turned around and jumped to the second floor. He emanated a surging, murderous aura.
When he saw that a Wulf Clan member was about to escape with Jackson, he killed Jackson with a single shot.
Jackson was lying in a pool of blood. Before he died, he stared at David, his eyes filled with resentment.
When the Wulf Clan member saw that Jackson was dead, he turned around and aimed his gun at Danielle on the first floor. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, David shot him in the head and killed him on the spot.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
A tank smashed open the iron gate of the auction hall.
Denny drove the tank in and saw Danielle. He asked, “Shadow, are you hurt?”
“No,” Danielle said calmly.
After Aiden, Nathan, and David dealt with the remaining Wulf Clan members, they rejoined the others on the first floor.
When Aiden saw Denny, he rolled his eyes and complained, “Denny, could you have come any slower? The battle has already ended. What’s your contribution?”
“How was I slow? I saw your message and rushed over immediately,” retorted Denny as he glared at Aiden.
Despite having gone on countless missions and encountering many dangers, Maximus was still shocked at the sight of the tank. He had newfound awe for the factions at the border.
All the factions at the border soon found out about what had happened at the auction. The Shadow Fortress and the Hades Fortress had wiped out the Wulf Clan.
Danielle took off her mask and approached Elliot, saying, “Elliot, let’s go.”
Elliot was beyond shocked. The woman who had swiftly killed a few people just now was his biological sister. The people present even addressed her as Shadow.
“Danielle, why are you at the border? And what did they call you just now? Are you Shadow?” Elliot asked in confusion. Justin, Luke, Maximus, and Lydia were stunned. So, this woman was both Shadow and Elliot’s sister.
They thought, ‘Isn’t Major Darling’s sister in school? We’ve seen her before, but she didn’t look like this.”
Met with Elliot’s puzzled gaze, Danielle explained calmly, “Yes, I’m here to settle some matters. Let’s go to my place first.” David walked over and took off his mask. He wrapped his arm around Danielle’s waist and greeted Elliot, saying “Hil” This time, not only were Elliot and his group shocked, but Danielle’s subordinates were also surprised.

Chapter 42
Aiden thought, ‘So, Hades is Shadow’s boyfriend!
Elliot looked at David and asked, “You’re Hades?”
David replied, “Yes.”

More than ten cars arrived at the Shadow Fortress.
Taylor approached Danielle and asked, “Shadow, are you alright? Bring me along for your next mission. I’m better than Aiden.”
Aiden was unhappy when he heard this. He mumbled, “I’m clearly a better shooter than you.”
Danielle ignored their bickering and said to Elliot, “Elliot, let us treat your wounds first.”
Elliot had been processing the fact that Danielle was Shadow during their entire car ride. When they arrived at the base, he finally accepted the truth. He asked, “Danielle, is this your fortress?”
Danielle answered, “Yes, but I don’t come here often. A few of my men manage its operation.”
Elliot and his group were taken aback by the scale of the fortress, as well as the various armed vehicles, helicopters, planes, special armories, laboratories, and so on. The Shadow Fortress was clearly much more equipped than their army
“Danielle, I’m Maximus Cole, the captain of the Hawk Assault Squad,” Maximus said with a smile.
“Hello, Captain Cole,” Danielle greeted.
Maximus was a friendly guy. He said, “There’s no need for formalities. Just call me Maximus.”
base.
Justin joined in their conversation and said, “Danielle, I’m the captain of the Tiger Assault Squad. My name is Justin Guerrero. You can call me Justin.”
Danielle replied, “Hello, Justin.”
Luke pushed Maximus and Justin aside. Then, he said with a smile on his face, “Danielle, I’m Luke Marsh, the captain of the Lion Assault Squad.”
Danielle replied, “Hello, Luke.”
Lydia had met Audrey before. She had also heard that Elliot’s biological sister had been found. Lydia had always wanted to pay Danielle a visit, but she never had the time to do so. Lydia was fond of Danielle’s personality.
Lydia said, “Danielle, I’m Elliot’s partner. My name is Lydia Powell. You can call me Lydia from now on.”
Danielle replied, “Hi, Lydia!”
Danielle appeared meek now, completely different from when she pulled out her gun prior.
Elliot’s friends were eager to get acquainted with Danielle. Danielle was initially holding hands with David. However, Elliot’s friends surrounded Danielle, pushing David aside.
