Chapter 7 - THE DOCKS OF ASHBORNEBy 5:15 AM, thick fog rolled over the commercial shipping docks of Ashborne Harbor.
Inside a hidden dark warehouse near Pier 14, three massive shipping containers filled with military-grade explosives and illegal biological weapons were being loaded onto The Iron Hydra.
Victor Vance—the leader of the Fenris Syndicate, wearing a tailor-made suit and a massive gold-and-silver wolf ring on his right hand—stood on the gantry crane, holding a satellite phone.
"Chief Reynolds," Vance said smoothly into the phone. "Ensure the harbor patrol looks the other way for another thirty minutes. Once the ship enters international waters, Captain Ward and his boy won't matter anymore."
Suddenly, the massive steel warehouse doors were blown off their hinges by a breaching charge!
BOOM!
A heavy black Raptor truck smashed through the flames, roaring directly into the center of the warehouse!
"FIRE!" Vance screamed, ducking behind the iron crane railing!
Twenty syndicate mercenaries opened fire on the truck! Bullets riddling the bulletproof glass as the truck spun into a tight drift, stopping behind a stack of steel shipping crates!
The driver’s side door kicked open.
Ethan Ward stepped out, holding an assault rifle, moving with the terrifying efficiency of a seasoned special operations operative!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Ethan advanced through the warehouse, dropping mercenaries left and right with surgical precision!

"Vance!" Ethan’s voice boomed through the echoing warehouse like thunder! "You tried to kill my son! You tried to frame the woman I love! Come down and face me!"
