chapter 45 Any last words?

Noah made a call to Dylan, and soon after, Dylan arrived with a team of casually dressed subordinates, driving a dozen jeeps. While Dylan took charge of the situation, Noah obtained the key to one of the jeeps and, along with Pauline, left first. Pauline, still shaken, didn't notice that Dylan's group carried themselves with an air of distinction, assuming them to be just friends of Noah. Back at home, Xavier Song and Lydia Ma had prepared dinner and were watching cartoons with Stella Song. When they saw Noah and Pauline return, and noticed Pauline's pale face, they quickly inquired about what had happened. Not wanting to alarm her parents, Pauline forced a smile and dismissed it, saying, "There was a minor accident on the road, the car got damaged, and it scared me a bit." Xavier and Lydia took her at her word, offering comfort and saying that as long as everyone was okay, that was all that mattered. They all sat down to eat. Noah took a few bites with the family but then set his utensils down. He calmly mentioned he needed to handle some matters regarding the accident and left the house. At the entrance of the Jiangbin Garden villa community, two jeeps were parked. Dylan and several soldiers from the Northern Territory were waiting. Dylan personally opened the door for Noah, who, once inside, asked in a cold tone, "Where is Kent now?" Dylan replied solemnly, "Reporting, Commander, Kent is currently at the Moonlight Bay mansion, awaiting Finn and the others to kidnap Miss Song." A glint of hostility flashed in Noah's eyes as he ordered, "Drive to Moonlight Bay." The sound of roaring engines filled the air. The gates of the Cao family mansion were forcibly rammed open by the jeeps, which then drove in. Immediately, Charles Huang, the captain of the Cao family's security team, along with a group of guards, rushed over. Charles scowled and barked, "Who are you people?" Dylan, along with five Northern Territory soldiers, had already disembarked immediately after the car stopped. At this moment, Dylan personally opened the car door, and Noah stepped out, indifferent. "We're here to take Kent's life!" Charles seethed, "I see you're here to seek death. Everyone, attack! Disable them!" The on-site bodyguards swiftly drew their batons and surged towards Noah's group. Noah paid no heed to these fiercely aggressive bodyguards. He walked towards the entrance of the residence with his hands behind his back, unrushed. Dylan let out a low battle cry and, with his five subordinates, met Charles' group head-on. Dylan was Noah's chief bodyguard, highly skilled in combat. He was exceptionally formidable. The five soldiers by his side were all members of Noah's security team, each possessing their own extraordinary martial skills. Dylan and his team faced off against Charles and his security detail. It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, an instant eruption of violence and chaos. Dylan's group employed standard military combat techniques, striking to kill or incapacitate, demonstrating true battlefield prowess. The guards on the scene groaned and fell to the ground, one after another. Even Charles, the strongest of the guards, was sent flying by Dylan, his chest ribs shattering. He landed heavily at Noah's feet. Charles had served in the military for seven years before being forced to retire due to a mistake. After retirement, he relied on his combat skills to become a wealthy man's bodyguard and eventually rose to become Kent's chief of security. Although Charles considered himself formidable, this was the first time he had suffered such a humiliating defeat. Clutching his injured chest, he looked at Noah and Dylan in shock, and suddenly exclaimed, "You, you, you are the Northern Territory War God, Commander Noah!" Noah, hands behind his back, walking leisurely towards the entrance of the residence, halted at these words. Noah looked at the heavily injured Charles and said calmly, "You recognize me, that's quite rare." In truth, when Charles shouted earlier, he wasn't entirely sure. Now, hearing Noah's words, he was one hundred percent certain. The man before him was Noah, the youngest Marshal of Huaxia, and the most mysterious War God in the country. Charles struggled to get up and then knelt in front of Noah. "I once served in the military. Although I wasn't a part of the Northern Territory Army, I had the privilege of seeing Marshal Chen's heroic figure in the military newspaper. I never thought that the first time I would meet the Marshal in person, would be under these circumstances. Please forgive me, Marshal." Noah's tone remained cold. "Since you were once a sharp blade of our nation, how could you be used by the likes of these scoundrels? This time, I'll spare you in consideration of your background. You and your men will leave immediately, and you are strictly forbidden from disclosing my identity." Charles and his subordinates nodded fervently. "Yes, we understand." While a fierce battle had taken place in the front yard, Kent, in the second-floor living room, was completely unaware. He had just taken two imported aphrodisiac pills and was feeling revitalized. He was eagerly awaiting Finn and the others to eliminate Noah and bring Pauline to him. At this moment, footsteps could be heard on the staircase. Kent's face lit up. Had Madcap returned? But what he saw was Noah, accompanied by a few others, ascending the stairs. Kent widened his eyes, his voice trembling. "It's you!" Noah came up calmly, seating himself on the sofa as if he were the host. He even glanced at the pill bottle on Kent's table before looking at Kent. "Surprised, aren't you?" "Madcap, they..." Kent wanted to ask about Finn and the others, but he realized it wasn't appropriate. He quickly changed his question. "What are you doing here?" Noah smiled gently. "Were you about to ask where Finn and the others are? They're already on the road to hell. I'm here to escort you to join them." Kent's face finally showed genuine fear. He swiftly grabbed the intercom on the table and shouted, "Guards, all guards, come to the second floor immediately!" Noah sneered. "No need to yell. They're all quite preoccupied." Kent widened his eyes. He was always afraid of death, and he had hired dozens of guards for his home. But all these guards had been handled by just a few of Noah's people? Noah looked at him coldly, as though he were regarding an animal bound for slaughter. He said icily, "That night at the Junan Hotel, I already warned you. I told you that if you ever dared to set your sights on my wife again, you would meet a gruesome end." Kent sensed Noah's intent to kill, and he was terrified. He blustered, "Noah, if you dare to kill me, do you know who I am? I'm among the top ten richest in ZhongHai City. In the world of black-and-white commerce, I have countless friends. Even if I were to visit the City Lord's residence, I'd be an honored guest. Do you dare to kill me? If you lay a finger on me, you won't have a place in ZhongHai City, and your whole family will suffer!" Noah spoke plainly. "Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Kent's mouth hung open. He hadn't expected that after all his threats, this would be Noah's response. Noah stood up, adjusted his sleeve, and calmly stated, "Since there are no further last words, Dylan, send him on his way." As Noah turned to leave and reached the stairs, he heard Kent's terrified cries from behind him. However, a crisp snap sounded, followed by the abrupt cessation of the wails.
