King of Soldiers Returns: Kill Anyone Who Harms My Daughter

“Waaah... Daddy... Ella hurts... I'm scared... The bad people tied me up and keep taking my blood... Daddy, where are you? Please come save me...”

The trembling voice of a little girl echoed through Ryan Garcia's encrypted communicator just moments after he had finished a brutal battle on the front lines.

Five minutes earlier, Ryan had personally led his forces in crushing the enemy's final counterattack—an army of over a million soldiers reduced to ruins beneath his command.

Covered in blood and exhausted from days of nonstop warfare, he had finally allowed himself a brief moment to rest when the highest-priority encrypted channel on his device suddenly began flashing wildly.

Thinking it was urgent military intelligence, Ryan accepted the call without hesitation.

The moment the screen lit up, his entire body froze.

A little girl appeared before him.

She looked no older than four.

Half of her face was swollen from being struck. Dried blood stained the corner of her mouth. Tears streamed endlessly down her pale cheeks.

She wore a thin, tattered dress.

Several thick tubes were inserted into her arms and neck, carrying streams of bright red blood away from her tiny body.

Ryan's breathing stopped.

"Little girl... who are—"

"Daddy!"

The girl's tear-filled eyes suddenly lit up when she saw him.

Like a drowning child seeing a lifeline.

"You're Ella's daddy, right?! Mommy showed me your picture! Daddy, please save Ella! It hurts so much..."

Ryan felt his mind go blank.

"D-Don't cry. Tell me... who is your mother?"

His voice trembled.

He didn't remember having a daughter.

"My mommy is Sophia Brown!"

The little girl sobbed desperately.

"Mommy said Daddy's name is Ryan Garcia! She said you're a hero! Daddy, please hurry! The bad people are in Harmony City! They're keeping Ella in an underground laboratory! They want to drain all of Ella's blood!"

The screen shook violently.

And in that instant...

A forgotten memory exploded inside Ryan's mind.

Five years ago.

During a classified mission, he had been ambushed and poisoned by a deadly toxin.

Dying.

Alone.

He had collapsed outside an abandoned church.

A young woman had saved him.

Her name was Sophia Brown.

An ordinary civilian.

Beautiful.

Kind.

With eyes so gentle they seemed capable of healing the world itself.

She hadn't cared that he was covered in blood.

She hadn't feared the danger surrounding him.

She had dragged him inside the church and tended to his wounds with the limited supplies she had.

That night, the poison ravaged Ryan's body.

His consciousness faded in and out.

His memories became fragmented and unclear.

The next morning, he vaguely remembered waking up and seeing Sophia sitting beside him.

Her eyes had been red.

Her clothes slightly disheveled.

When he asked if something had happened, she simply lowered her head and softly replied:

"It's nothing."

Then disaster struck the Abyss Frontline.

Ryan had no choice but to leave immediately.

Before departing, he left Sophia a pendant bearing his identity—one powerful enough to guarantee wealth and protection for the rest of her life.

Then he disappeared into war.

He believed she would move on.

He believed she would find happiness.

He never knew what truly happened that night.

And he certainly never knew Sophia had carried his child.

Or that she had spent the last four years raising their daughter alone.

Until now.

"Daddy..."

Ella suddenly glanced fearfully over her shoulder.

Her tiny voice dropped to a frightened whisper.

"Daddy, I can't talk anymore... they're coming back..."

"Please hurry..."

"Please save Ella..."

The screen shook violently.

Then—

A muffled cry.

As if someone had struck her.

A phone crashing onto the floor.

And finally, the furious voice of a man roaring from somewhere off-screen.

"You little bastard! How dare you make a call?!"

The connection was lost.

Silence.

Then—

BOOM!

An overwhelming killing intent erupted from Ryan's body.

The air itself seemed to explode around him.

"OSIRIS!"

His roar shook the command center.

"Find them!"

"Harmony City!"

"The Spencer Family!"

"The underground laboratory!"

"I want their exact location NOW!"

"And find Sophia Brown!"

Ryan's eyes turned blood-red.

Tears burst uncontrollably from them.

For the first time in countless years, the undefeated war god cried.

Osiris stood frozen.

He had followed Ryan through hundreds of battlefields.

He had watched this man slaughter armies and conquer nations without changing expression.

But now...

The supreme commander was crying.

Without hesitation, Osiris activated the highest-level intelligence network.

The full power of the global military machine sprang into action.

Satellites.

Surveillance systems.

Intelligence agencies.

Special forces.

Every available resource was mobilized.

At the same time, a supersonic fighter jet launched from the Abyss Frontline.

Its engines screamed as it tore through the sky like a falling star traveling against fate itself.

Destination:

Harmony City.

Inside the cockpit, Ryan's body trembled uncontrollably.

Tears streamed down his face.

His fists clenched so tightly that blood dripped from his palms.

At this moment, he knew with absolute certainty.

Ella was his daughter.

His flesh and blood.

While he had spent five years guarding the borders and fighting humanity's enemies...

His little girl had been strapped to an operating table.

Used as a blood source.

Beaten.

Tortured.

Humiliated.

"AAAHHHHHHH!"

A heart-wrenching roar burst from Ryan's throat.

The sound carried endless guilt.

Endless rage.

And a madness powerful enough to destroy the world.

Even the pilot in front of him felt chills run down his spine.

He pushed the fighter jet beyond its limits.

The aircraft shattered the sound barrier again and again as it raced across the heavens.

Ryan's aura surged like a volcanic eruption.

The clouds above split apart as though an invisible blade had cut through the sky itself.

Sophia Brown...

She had been the only light in Ryan Garcia's life.

When he was dying.

When he was drowning in despair.

She had saved him.

Given him a second chance to live.

After suppressing the Abyss uprising, Ryan had already planned to find her.

To repay her kindness.

To protect her for the rest of her life.

But he never imagined...

She had silently endured everything.

Given birth to his daughter.

Raised their child alone for four years.

And now...

His daughter was being treated like livestock.

Her blood harvested while she was still alive.

"Daddy...Ella hurts...The bad people hit Ella...Daddy..."

"When are you coming to save me...?"

Her terrified cries echoed endlessly inside Ryan's mind.

She was only four years old.

Just four.

So small.

So innocent.

And at this moment, Ryan Garcia was completely broken.

His eyes filled with murderous intent.

His voice was colder than death itself.

"The Spencer Family..."

"You dared touch my daughter."

"I'm going to make every last one of you pay."
