Aiden Knight's POV
My phone buzzed as I made my way back to the normal world, the aftershocks of my breakthrough still rippling through my enhanced senses. Leo Dane's name flashed on the screen.
"Sir, we have a situation," Leo's voice was crisp and professional. "Dragon Soul intercepted communications about two remaining targets at the Millennium Hotel."
I paused at the hidden entrance to the Samsara Graveyard. The energy from my cultivation breakthrough hummed beneath my skin like contained lightning.
"Which two?"
"Mason Warren and Ronan Quinn. Presidential suite. They're growing agitated about their missing companion."
The missing companion would be the martial artist I'd eliminated earlier. His death had clearly disrupted their coordination.
"Dragon Soul is requesting permission to move in," Leo continued. "Should I give them authorization?"
I considered this for a moment. The logical choice would be to let the professionals handle it. Clean, efficient, minimal exposure.
