Season 2: Phantom Fracture
[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
[p]Gradually losing interest in his boring assignments, Crock left the intel organization he previously worked for, searching for true rivals. As a former assassin, Crock believes that slaughter is the only truth. The global conflict over Feral Relics piqued his interest, so he used his recon expertise to gather intel on them and sell it at a high price on the black market. Upon learning of this, The Desolate Legion immediately sent Ryan and Vladimir to The Crescent Bay to deal with Crock. In the meantime, a dissident faction within The Desolate Legion secretly began to take action, seeking an opportunity to seize the intel on Feral Relics. The fracture appears, and what's untold slowly began to unfold.[/p]

New Valiant: Crock - The Mire Butcher
[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
[p]Whether in the past or present, Crock has always been the ultimate hunter. The only difference now is that his prey has shifted from politicians to soldiers.[/p][p]His exceptional combat skills and lightning-fast adaptability make him unstoppable on every mission. Even the most secure defense systems crumble before him like paper. His talents quickly earned him a reputation as the organization's most sought-after assassin, with high-priority and challenging contracts flooding in one after another.[/p][p]However, he gradually lost interest through countless "mind-numbingly boring" assignments, until he insisted on quitting and found himself on the organization's hit list. The experience of fighting other trained killers in life-or-death battles reignited his desire for combat. Compared to defenseless politicians, skilled opponents offered far more excitement and challenge.[/p][p]After effortlessly escaping the assassin organization's pursuit, he received an offer from the Desolate Legion. This time, he accepted with genuine enthusiasm.[/p]
