Code Name: Lone Wolf, Urban Shadow Blade

Ling Ce, formerly a member of Longyan, Huaguo’s elite special intelligence unit, went by the codename Lone Wolf. During an international mission, he faked his death and retired to cover his comrades’ escape. He had hoped to disappear into the city and live an ordinary life as a security guard, but an accident involving his younger sister, Ling Yue, forced him to shed his peaceful disguise. The Nuwa nanotech chip she developed could reshape the global information security landscape, making it the target of a ruthless international spy organization known as Black Snake.

Disguised as a university security guard, he uses a baton to deal with campus bullies and a Beretta to take out foreign assassins. One moment he’s fending off his sister’s suitors; the next, he’s infiltrating enemy territory to crack encrypted intelligence. Black Snake’s augmented soldiers, moles hidden within the military and government, and even old rivals from Longyan all bare their fangs at him.

With the nanotech chip and his sister’s life hanging in the balance, a cold glint flashes in Ling Ce’s eyes. “Anyone who dares lay a hand on someone under my protection will have to answer to the bullets in my gun!” From campus to the international dark web, from street battles to manhunts in the polar regions, he carves a path through the web of conspiracies like a lone wolf, using thunderous force to protect his country and the people he loves.
