Chapter: YOU'RE IN DANGERAdrian's call to Marcus came through at 2:47 AM Paris time—which meant 1:47 AM in Tangier, where Marcus actually was.Marcus answered groggily, his voice thick with sleep. "Adrian? It's the middle of the night. What's wrong?""You're in danger. Professional killer is targeting you. Woman named Sarah Hendricks. Former military. She's being paid three million dollars to make your death look like an accident. She might already be in Morocco."Silence on the other end. Then Marcus laughed—not nervously, but with genuine dark humor."Adrian, I've been hiding for fifteen years. I faked my death to escape Vincent's world. I've lived in Tanzania, Morocco, half a dozen countries under different names. I know how to disappear. I know how to stay invisible.""This is different. This isn't Vincent's people. This is military-grade assassin. Professional contractor. She doesn't care about Kane family drama. She cares about completing contracts. And she's very, very good at her job.""Then I'll disa

Chapter: WHATEVER IT TAKESThe explosion transformed solid pier into airborne debris in less than a second.Adrian was thrown backward by the concussive force, landing hard on wooden planks that groaned under sudden impact. His ears rang with high-pitched whine that drowned out all other sound. Smoke and splinters filled the air, making it impossible to see more than a few feet.Through the chaos, one image burned itself into his consciousness: the end of the pier where Jenny had been tied—completely gone. Collapsed into the harbor. Taking her with it.Adrian didn't think. Didn't calculate odds or consider alternatives. Just moved.He scrambled to his feet, ran toward the hole where the pier ended, and dove into the water.The impact was shock to his system—November harbor water, probably forty-five degrees, hitting him like physical blow. His body wanted to gasp, to recoil, to surface immediately and escape the cold.He forced himself down instead.The water was black. Visibility was zero. The explosion had ch

Chapter: NYPDAdrian's security command center at Apex Tower felt like a war room.Screens showed maps of New York City with red pins marking potential locations. Ryker's cyber team worked frantically, cross-referencing property records, financial transactions, known associates of the Widows' Alliance. Elena paced like a caged predator, weapon visible at her hip, ready for action that hadn't come.And Daniel sat in the corner, head in his hands, shaking."This is my fault," he said for the fifth time in an hour. "She's suffering because of me. Because I'm a Kane. Because being near me makes people targets."Adrian moved to his brother, kneeling beside the chair. "No. This is the Kane family curse. Everyone near us suffers. Vincent created this legacy of violence and revenge. We're living in the aftermath. But we'll find her.""How? We have three hours and thirty minutes. They could have her anywhere in the city. We're searching blind."Ryker pulled up data on the main screen. "Not entirely blind. I

Chapter: I DIDN'T WANT THISElena stepped out from behind a support column, flanked by eight members of Ryker's tactical team, all armed with assault rifles aimed at the six women."Did you really think we wouldn't anticipate this?" Elena's voice carried cold amusement. "Adrian's father trained us. Vincent Kane wrote the manual on manipulation and psychological warfare. You think you invented the impossible choice scenario? He used it for decades."Clarissa DeVille tried to move for her weapon, but red laser dots appeared on her chest from three different angles. She froze."The moment you kidnapped Dr. Reeves," Elena continued, moving closer, "we tracked you. We found this warehouse six hours ago. We've had surveillance on every entrance since midnight. We knew exactly how many of you there were. We knew your plan before you executed it."Ryker appeared from the opposite side of the warehouse, leading four more operatives. "The bomb at Apex Tower was defused at 5:42 AM. Forty-seven minutes after we found it. We

Chapter: YOU'RE GOING TO GETTING YOURSELF KILLEDThe video continued playing on Adrian's phone screen, Vivienne's face coming into view beside the terrified Dr. Reeves."Adrian Kane. You pride yourself on being different from your father. On being the hero. The protector. The man who saves people. Let's test that."The camera panned to show Dr. Reeves more clearly—bound to a chair in what looked like an abandoned warehouse, duct tape across her mouth, eyes wide with fear."You have twelve hours. Come to this location—" coordinates appeared on screen "—alone and unarmed. If you come, we'll release Dr. Reeves. We'll also send you location of bomb we've planted. You can try to stop it."Vivienne's smile was cold. "But if you come here, you can't be there. And the bomb is at Apex Tower. Your building. Where your family sleeps. Where two hundred residents live their lives. Where Michael is sleeping in his nursery right now."Adrian's blood went ice-cold."So make your choice, Adrian. Save a stranger you barely know? Or save your family an

The Return of the Almighty Dragon Jackal
He was betrayed, broken, and buried alive by the ones who should’ve protected him. Now, he’s back—with fire in his veins and vengeance in his fists.
On his sixth birthday, Andrew Blackwood watched his mother die in a pool of blood and candles. Sold into mafia servitude, stripped of his inheritance, and betrayed by the woman he loved, he became a ghost in the criminal underworld—reborn as THE DRAGON JACKAL.
Trained in 74 deadly arts. Feared by enemies. Hunted by the past.
Now, after years of silence, the hidden heir returns to reclaim everything that was stolen—from his name to his soul. But the deeper he digs into his family’s legacy, the darker the secrets become. With love turned into betrayal and blood turned into lies, Andrew must choose: burn the empire to the ground or rebuild it from ashes.
Revenge is his weapon. Redemption is his war. And this time… mercy is off the table.

Chapter: Chapter 31: HE HAS TO DIE NOWFrank exploded into a coarse, derisive laugh that tore through the charged air like a knife, the sound raw and unbelieving.“So you betrayed me because of Andrew?” he spat, words slick with fury. “You just lost a whole fifty million dollars that was supposed to be your bargain.”Mrs. Edward’s face twisted, shock folding instantly into a rage that had lived under her skin for months.“Frank, you are heartless,” she hissed, voice cracking with a grief that had nothing to do with money. “How could you? How could you plan to kill my only daughter for just fifty million?”The masked man slid the apple tablet back into his coat with the slow care of someone closing a verdict.“You want to know why he did it,” he said quietly, each syllable setting the forest on edge, “because he wanted to save Carina from you. So you would not drag her down for failing to refund the fifty million debt. Your stupid past and forgotten love history blinded you. You nearly paid for it with your daughter’s life

Chapter: Chapter 29: HE IS THE ALMIGHTY DRAGON The moment the mysterious masked man reached the center of the clearing, the forest held its breath. The JACKAL men dropped to their knees in a single, practiced motion, foreheads touching the backs of their right hands like a ritual; their voices rose together in a hard, disciplined chorus—WELCOME KING—The earth almost trembled with the thunder of their united voices.A violent shift rippled through the atmosphere—authority had just walked in.Mrs. Edward’s mouth thinned into a line. Frank’s eyes went flat. Even Jake, who had been hacking and limping, breathed as if someone had finally closed a wound inside him. “Who is this, again?” Mrs. Edward asked, but the question sounded thinner than she meant it to be.“K… king?” Frank managed, the word sticking to his tongue.Jake forced himself upright, clutching his bruised ribs as he regained his breath. His eyes narrowed. “I think… their real leader just arrived.”Before Jake could speak further, Frank snapped and stepped toward him, clos

Chapter: Chapter 28: GIVE THE KILL ORDERAndrew suddenly laughed.It wasn’t normal laughter. It didn’t sound human. It spilled out slowly at first, a quiet rumble like thunder rolling across dead land—then it exploded, sharp and cutting, echoing across the woods like shattered glass.“Unbelievable,” he said, brushing a hand through his hair as if he’d just heard the funniest joke on earth. “What a disgraceful joke. Wait, do you actually take me for a fool?”Mrs. Edward stood firm in front of him, her elite guards forming a tight murder circle around Andrew. Her expression was stone—decorated with loss, hardened by revenge—but her eyes carried something darker. Regret. Maybe even guilt.Andrew’s voice dropped, cold enough to freeze bone. “You knew I wasn’t the one who murdered Edward. Yet you stood there and let them drag me in chains like a stray dog. You knew I was innocent, but you still helped frame me. You still chose to work with your husband’s real murderers. Do you have any idea what ten years inside that hellhole wou

Chapter: Chapter 27: THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME! YOU'RE GOING TO DIEFrank’s eyes met Wilson’s and a small, practiced signal passed between them like a cold coin.“What do you mean?” Frank asked loudly, the question aiming to sound innocent. “Andrew hired you to kidnap Juliet, didn’t he? We’ve never met before, right?”Wilson’s laugh was thin and wet with contempt. “What do you mean we’ve never seen each other, Frank? Is that how you play it now, feigning ignorance?” He took a step forward, every syllable a blade. “You asked us to kidnap Juliet, to kill her and pin it on the Jackal so we could split the 100 million ransom. That’s the deal you sold.”Mrs. Edward’s face went white and then red as betrayal hardened into fury. “What?” she breathed, shock shattering into accusation. She moved toward Frank like a woman propelled by a blade. “Frank! How could you be so despicable?” Her voice tightened. “You actually planned this—to help Carina? You went this far to save her from the impending financial downfall? You won't even hesitate to save that bitch with

Chapter: Chapter 26: WHAT A BASTARD LIAR!Money had never smelled like blood until this tense afternoon.The forest was eerily silent, the tension so thick it seemed to press against Mrs. Edward’s chest. A masked man in a JACKAL uniform shoved her forward, his grip brutal, forcing her to confront Wilson. Her heart pounded, every beat screaming terror as her eyes locked onto the man who held the power to decide her daughter’s fate.“Where is Juliet? I swear I’ll kill all of you if anything happens to my daughter!” Mrs. Edward’s voice cracked, raw and desperate, but threaded with the iron of a mother’s fury.Wilson extended his hand, slow, deliberate, and cold. Her hands, shaking but determined, lifted the bag of money she held, the leather stiff beneath her fingers. Every second stretched like a lifetime.“Is it complete?” Wilson asked as he opened the bag, his eyes glinting like steel.Mrs. Edward snorted, a mix of disbelief and frustration, her lips curling into a frown. Wilson’s patience ran thin, and suddenly his hands shot
