His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0658 Gentlemen? Quinto's gaze shot to the bedroom door, his pupils shrinking in shock.

Five figures.

Looming behind the Cloud Tiger, six shadowy figures stood, their presence as elusive as spirits from an abyss, their mastery so complete that they radiated no aura at all.

A shadowy figure stood cloaked in black, a maple leaf insignia stitched boldly over the heart—a signature of the infamous Black Maple Organization.

"This is the Left Protector, also known as "Lightning Cutter," Konrad Abney—one of the Black Maple Organization's two most formidable guardians," Cloud Tiger introduced, stepping aside to reveal the man's identity. With a casual wave anda

grin, he continued, "And these four are the esteemed Envoys, second only to the guardians in rank.

"Protector Abney's power is unmatched. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

He's at the peak of Martial Overlord. And the Envoys? Each one is a mid-level Martial Overlord master. Now that's what you call real strength." Quinto's heart pounded as he took in the six elite warriors before him. Five Martial Overlord masters, plus Cloud Tiger, who had just ascended to their ranks... That was a force capable of toppling nations, especially then that the world had outlawed the use of mass-destruction weapons.

"So, you're Quinto?" Konrad's voice dripped with contempt as he eyed the man before him. "I've heard about your little scheme—sending a small army to ambush Alexander, and your plans to snatch up Amber and Coral?" He sneered, "I can't decide if you're

audacious or just plain stupid. Do you have any clue who Alexander really is?" Quinto, his face flushed with embarrassment, was at a loss for words.

A mere supreme grand master would not have dared to speak up in front of a peak Martial Overlord! "Alexander's name sends shivers around the globe!" Konrad inhaled sharply, his voice turning icy. "Let me lay it out for you. He's the stuff of legends, the Lord of War, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wyverna. He's the Black Maple Organization's worst nightmare. Alone, he's a force that can take on entire nations." Lord of War?! Quinto's eyes popped, and his jaw dropped. So did his crew of 30-some members, all thunderstruck, their heads

ringing with the revelation.

Good god! Could it be that the legendary figure, as elusive as a dragon, was actually the son- in-law of the Ol' Mare Chesire family, the security chief of the New Chesire Group? Their gang had been poking that bear over and over, yet they still drew breath.

It was nothing short of a miracle! "Alexander doesn't bother with you because you're beneath his notice." Konrad glanced at Quinto with disdain, then let out a dark chuckle. "You tried to take out the Cloud Tiger, aiming to rule Coconut Wind Island. That's a death wish.

"But, changing your tune at the eleventh hour saved your skin. And what's more...

Alexander had a chat with you and gave you a shot at redemption. That's a godsend, my friend."

Hmm? Quinto's eyes widened in shock. A split second later, he understood and cried out, "You're plotting against Alexander?!" "Absolutely." Konrad and Cloud Tiger shared a knowing look, then smirked wickedly. "Our Black Maple Organization has struck a deal with Cloud Tiger. Take down Alexander, and Cloud Tiger rules the north of Wyverna! "And since you're Cloud Tiger's right- hand man, once it's done, you'll be the top dog in northern Wyverna, second only to the boss himself." The thought of such power was intoxicating, impossible to turn down.

"What do I need to do?" Quinto's heart raced, his eyes blazing with fervor. "Taking on the mightiest

Lord of War, it's a rush just to think about it! I'm Quinto, afraid of nothing, not even death! "Protector Abney, Boss, just give the word, and I'm on it. If we can take down Alexander, I'll be legendary, and dying for that would be an honor!" Quinto's hunger for power was clear. He had always been eager to climb the ranks.

"Excellent!" Konrad burst into laughter, then abruptly cut it off. With a swift gesture, he reached out and grabbed.

One of Quinto's men, built like Cloud Tiger, was snatched out of the air by Konrad and then crushed with ease.

Crack! The man's neck broke instantly. He did not stand a chance, and he was gone just like that.

protector Abney!" Quinto was taken aback, only then grasping what

happened, his face a mask of bewilderment. "You..." "You needed to see proof." Konrad chuckled darkly and pulled out a small cloth pouch. He pressed and molded the face of his dead henchman, then dusted it with a fine white powder from the pouch until the man's features were a dead ringer for Cloud Tiger. Only someone as close as Quinto could spot the difference.

"Snap a picture of the stiff and take it to Alexander. Tell him Cloud Tiger is dead." Once the stage was set, Konrad's grin twisted with malice. "And let him know you stumbled upon a heavy-duty safe in the villa, with one of Cloud Tiger's prized jade amulets inside. That'll reel Alexander in for sure.

The moment he steps foot here, we spring the trap and take him down.

Alexander's going

down!"
