Den didn''t move. His gaze remained steady and ice-cold as he locked eyes with Cobra.


    Then, he reached behind his head and pulled out a nearly invisible tracking and listening device from beneath his hair.


    "That''s right, it was me! Cobra, Every word you just said has been transmitted to the authorities. The false charges against my father end today. The world will finally hear what he never got the chance to say. Let me say it again, my father was an officer, not a drug dealer!"


    Bob was very shocked. "Den, y-your father was-"


    Cobra''s expression turned grim as he said, "I knew it! That look in your eyes-it was just like his! So, you''re his son!"


    Den replied, "Yes, he was my father!"


    Bob chimed in, "Den, you lied to me. You never intended to marry my daughter. You just used me to get close to Cobra!"


    The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. Everything had been part of Den''s n.


    Outside, sirens wailed as squad cars screeched to a stop. A wave of officers in full tactical gear poured in, weapons raised, cutting off every possible escape route.


    Logan Mercer, the veteran cop leading the operation, shouted through a megaphone, "Cobra, Mr. Xanders! You''re surrounded! Surrender now and face the consequences of thew."


    One of the ck-d underlings panicked. "Cobra, what do we do? We''repletely surrounded!"


    Cobra''s eyes gleamed with malice as he red at Den. "Kid, I never thought I would go down because of you! Surrender? Not a chance! Let''s go! We''re fighting our way out!"


    Gunfire erupted, and chaos ensued.


    Logan found Den and grabbed him, dragging him toward the exit. "Hey,e with me! It''s too dangerous here."


    As Den looked toward Den, he and his men had already carved a bloody path through the blockade with heavy weapons. With an icy expression, he said, "I''m not leaving. My father let him escape once. This time, I won''t let that happen again."


    "Kid, your father and I wererades back then. I couldn''t do anything about


    what happened, but right now, I just want to keep you safe. Come with me!"


    Logan tried to pull him away, but Den broke free and sprinted toward Cobra, cutting off his escape.


    "You''re not going anywhere!"


    Cobra''s expression turned icy as he responded, "You''re asking for death!"


    The two shed in an instant.


    Den was fast and skilled, but Cobra wasn''t an easy opponent. They fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.


    With Cobra held up, his men were quickly taken down one by one. Bob was also being captured.


    "Cobra, it''s over! We''re finished..." Bob copsed to the ground in despair.


    Just as Den reached out to subdue him, Cobra''s eyes shed cold. Seizing the moment, he suddenly pulled out a knife and drove it straight into Den''s abdomen.


    A sickening squelch filled the air. Blood seeped from the wound as Den staggered.


    Before Cobra could make another move, Logan lunged forward and grabbed him. "Cobra, this time, you''re not getting away!


    A pair of cold metal handcuffs snapped around Cobra''s wrists. He was finally caught.


    Logan turned to Den. "Kid, you did it. You fulfilled your father''sst wish and cleared his name. It''s over now. You''re hurt. We need to get you to a hospital right now!"  fo


    Den shoved Logan''s hand away and said, "It''s over here. But I have someone I


    need to find."
