Jason Blackwell's Rise To Power
For three years, Jason Blackwell endured humiliation for the woman he loved, believing that his sacrifice would one day make him part of the wealthy Hale family.
But when his mother needs $500,000 for emergency surgery, Jason discovers the brutal truth: his wife, Davina, never loved him. Their marriage was nothing more than a temporary arrangement, and the woman he called family would rather give the money to her wealthy ex-boyfriend than save his dying mother.
With only minutes left to save the woman who raised him, Jason finds himself completely powerless.
Then, just as his life seems to be falling apart, a mysterious message appears on his phone:
CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED.
One chance.
One number.
One life-changing reward.
Jason has no idea who sent the message—or why he was chosen.

Chapter: CHAPTER 28
THE NAME HIDDEN IN THE RECORDSJason read the patient transfer record for the third time.PATIENT TRANSFER ELEANOR PRICE ACCOMPANIED BY: ADRIAN VALE.It was the first concrete connection between Eleanor, Adrian, and the medical facility funded by Project Heir.But something bothered him.“Daniel, why is Eleanor listed as the patient?”Daniel adjusted the document on his tablet.“That's what I found unusual. The record identifies her as the person transferred, not the person accompanying the patient.”Alexander leaned forward.“Are you saying Eleanor was admitted to the clinic?”“Possibly. But this is a transfer summary, not a complete medical record. We need the original file before drawing that conclusion.”Jason looked at the date.The transfer happened eleven days before Richard disappeared.“Find out where she was transferred.”“We're working on it. The clinic's archive was transferred to a private medical records custodian after it closed. Our legal team has submitted a formal pres

THE WOMAN WHO DISAPPEARED Jason remained at his desk long after the investigators had taken the original security register away for examination. The name Eleanor Price was written on a sheet of paper in front of him. For twenty-nine years, she had existed in the background of the Blackwell family's history. Now, a single entry in an old register had brought her into the centre of the investigation. Alexander stood beside the window, staring at the estate grounds. “Eleanor was not just Richard's secretary,” he said. “She managed his private correspondence, maintained his appointment records, and handled documents that never passed through the ordinary administrative offices.” “Did she know about Project Heir?” Jason asked. “I can't say for certain. But if anyone outside Richard's immediate circle knew about his confidential arrangements, Eleanor would have been one of them.” Jason looked down at his notes.“Why was she reported missing three days after your brother disappeared?”

THE SECRET OF THE SECOND KEY Alexander read the message twice.Then he slowly lowered the phone.“Where did you get this?” Jason turned the screen toward him. YOU'RE LEARNING TO USE YOUR INHERITANCE. GOOD. NOW ASK ALEXANDER WHAT HE DID WITH THE SECOND KEY. For several seconds, neither man spoke.Finally, Alexander pulled out a chair and sat down.“I was wondering when someone would bring that up.” Jason studied him. “So there really was a second key?” “Yes.” “What happened to it?” Alexander rubbed his forehead.“Richard designed the original security system with two physical authentication keys. One was kept in the estate's secure records room. The other was issued to him personally. They were designed to work alongside individual access credentials. Neither key could independently unlock the restricted archives.” “Where is the one Richard carried?” “I don't know.” Jason leaned forward. “You don't know, or you don't want to tell me?” “I don't know, Jason. The last

THE ENEMY INSIDE THE ESTATEJason read the message again.STOP LOOKING FOR THE OTHER HEIR.YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUND HIM.He turned toward Alexander.“Whoever sent this wants us to believe the other heir is someone we already know.”Alexander stared at the screen. “Or they want us to waste time questioning everyone around us.”“Either way, they know we're investigating Project Heir.”Daniel brought up the access records.“The attempt was made from a terminal in the east wing. That section contains offices used by the estate's senior administrative staff.”“Who was there?” Jason asked.“I'm checking the security footage.”“Don't announce the investigation to the staff. I want the records preserved before anyone has an opportunity to alter them.”Daniel nodded.Alexander remained beside the monitor, studying the message.“Jason, there's something we need to consider. The warning might be designed to make you distrust the people around you.”“I'm aware of that.”“Then don't let it turn you ag

THE HEIR NOBODY KNEWJason read the recovered document again.PROJECT HEIR STATUS: ACTIVE.PROTECT THE HEIR.DO NOT DISCLOSE THE SECOND NAME.The words had been written by his father on the night he disappeared.For twenty-nine years, Jason had believed that Richard's greatest secret was the reason he had never returned home. Now he was beginning to suspect that his disappearance was connected to someone else whose identity had been deliberately concealed.He turned toward Daniel.“Can the Blackwell Protocol identify Project Heir?”“I've already searched the accessible records,” Daniel replied. “The project exists in the archive, but most of its information is restricted.”“Restricted by whom?”“Your father.”Jason looked at Alexander.“Can you authorize access?”“No. I never knew this project existed.”“Then how do we open it?”Daniel brought up the access requirements.“The archive lists two conditions. First, confirmation that Richard Blackwell's original authorization is authentic

THE FIRST ORDER OF A BLACKWELL HEIRAt 7:15 the following morning, Jason Blackwell walked into the conference room of the Blackwell estate wearing a dark suit.For the first time since inheriting his father's fortune, he had requested a formal meeting with the people responsible for managing it.He had no intention of spending the day staring at screens while strangers investigated his family's past.If the Blackwell name carried the influence Alexander claimed, Jason wanted to understand exactly how far that influence reached.Daniel stood beside the main display.“Everyone is connected,” he said. “The financial director, the head of security, the legal department, and the regional managers. Some are attending remotely.”Jason looked around the room.“How many people know I'm taking control of the investigation?”“Only those who need to know.”“Good. Keep it that way.”The screen illuminated, revealing several faces.A grey-haired man introduced himself as Edward Shaw, the senior finan

THE BETRAYAL HIDDEN IN HIS MEMORIESFor several minutes, Xuan Tian remained motionless inside the abandoned railway chamber.The final words of the memory continued echoing in his mind.Before you seek the seventh seal, discover who killed you.Who had killed him?He remembered the final battle against the black star. He remembered the destruction of countless worlds and the collapse of the Celestial Palace.But the moments immediately before his death remained unclear.There had been a betrayal.He was certain of it now.The question was whether the betrayal had come from an enemy who had infiltrated his kingdom or someone who had enjoyed his complete trust.He looked down at the black ring."Show me the memory again."The ring remained silent.He tried circulating spiritual energy into it.Nothing happened.A message eventually appeared.MEMORY ACCESS RESTRICTED.REQUIREMENT: SECOND SEAL ACTIVATION.Xuan Tian frowned.The second seal was still only partially opened.Whatever information th

THE FIRST ENEMY FROM BEYOND THE STARSThe first sign appeared at 3:17 a.m,Xuan Tian was meditating beside his bedroom window when the black ring suddenly burned against his palm.His eyes opened,a thin golden line emerged from the ring and stretched toward the ceiling. Within seconds, the line divided into seven branches, forming a miniature version of the ancient seal formation he had seen beneath Blackridge Mountain.Then the second symbol began to blink black light.Xuan Tian immediately stopped circulating spiritual energy.Something was interfering with the ring,He raised his hand and examined the projection.WARNING: FOREIGN CONSCIOUSNESS DETECTED.His expression changed,a foreign consciousness?He had encountered countless spiritual techniques during his former life. He knew the difference between a natural energy disturbance and an intelligent force attempting to establish contact.This was neither an ordinary message nor a simple warning.Something was reaching through the seal.

THE PROMISE THAT CHANGED THE UNIVERSEXuan Tian did not return to class after leaving the underground chamber.He escorted Elias out, secured the service door, and insisted that the teacher report the structural danger to the school administration.He did not explain the creature in detail.Elias had witnessed enough to know that ordinary explanations were no longer sufficient.Before they separated, the teacher stopped him near the main entrance."You saved my life."Xuan Tian shook his head."I prevented a dangerous situation from becoming worse.""That is a modest way to describe what happened."Elias hesitated."Will you tell me the truth about yourself?"Xuan Tian looked toward the city skyline."Not yet."The teacher nodded slowly."Then I will wait."For the first time since his arrival on Earth, Xuan Tian had found someone outside his family who might become a useful ally.But he could not afford to trust too quickly.The black ring had revealed that the seals were connected, and the

THE TEACHER WHO RECOGNISED THE IMPOSSIBLEWestbridge High School was unusually quiet on Monday morning.The head teacher had announced a temporary investigation following reports of fights and intimidation. Victor Hayes had been absent for two days, and rumours were spreading that his father had hired lawyers to force Cooper out of the school.Xuan Tian ignored the gossip.He had more important matters to investigate.During the first lesson, he observed the teacher who had watched him in the cafeteria.The man introduced himself as Professor Elias Ward, a visiting physics instructor who had joined the school several months earlier.He was in his fifties, with silver hair and thin spectacles.His manner was calm, but Xuan Tian noticed that his eyes frequently moved toward the windows and the corridor leading to the school's old science wing.At the end of the lesson, Elias approached him."Cooper William, may I speak with you?"Xuan Tian closed his notebook."Of course."The teacher stud

They told me we had until tomorrow to leave. When I refused, they pushed me."Xuan Tian's hands tightened."Did you recognise them?"Daniel nodded."One of them was the scarred man who came here before. The others were different."Margaret wiped her eyes."We reported the incident, but they said there were no witnesses outside the house.

THE FIRST AWAKENING OF THE SUPREME POWERThe mountain outside Westbridge City was known locally as Blackridge.Most people visited its lower slopes for hiking, but the northern section had been closed after several unexplained accidents.According to the city's official records, the area was unstable because of underground rock formations.Xuan Tian knew better.The black ring had guided him toward the northern ridge three nights in a row.Each time he approached, the spiritual energy in the area grew stronger.He waited until Saturday morning before making his move.He told his family he was visiting the library, packed a small bag, and travelled by bus to the edge of the city.From there, he walked.The climb was difficult because his body was still recovering. He had only reached the first stage of Qi Gathering, and his spiritual reserves remained limited.Nevertheless, he continued until he reached a narrow opening between two enormous rocks.The ring warmed in his pocket.A faint gol
