Chapter: Chapter 524The evening settled gently over the White family mansion, bringing with it a rare sense of calm. The chaos of the past days had finally receded, leaving behind a quiet that felt earned rather than fragile. Warm lights glowed through tall windows, and the dining room—grand as ever—felt softer tonight, less like a place of strategy and power and more like a space meant for family. Dinner had been prepared carefully, with dishes chosen to be light and comforting rather than extravagant. Eva sat at the table beside Chris, her posture relaxed, though his hand remained subtly close to hers, as if either of them might reach out at any moment without thinking. Across from them sat Elliot and Amanda. Amanda had been unusually quiet since they arrived, her usual easy chatter replaced by a barely contained energy that made her shift in her seat more than once. Eva noticed, of course. She always did. Amanda barely touched her food, glancing between Eva and Chris, then at Elliot, who looked com

Chapter: Chapter 523The garden was quiet in the way only the White family grounds could be—manicured perfection softened by night air, lantern lights glowing low among hedges and rosebushes. Gravel crunched faintly beneath their steps as Elliot and Amanda walked side by side, the distant mansion behind them slowly fading into silence. Amanda had her arms folded loosely, her expression still bright with lingering emotion. She hadn’t quite come down from the joy of the moment—the surprise, the warmth, the sense that something good had finally taken root after so much chaos. Elliot glanced at her, studying her profile. “You seemed genuinely happy,” he said at last. “About Eva’s pregnancy.” Amanda smiled without hesitation. “Of course I was.” She slowed her steps, turning her head slightly to look at him. “Eva isn’t just my friend. She’s been my best friend since we were kids. I know every ugly chapter it took for her to get here. The losses, the fear, the times she almost gave up.” Her voice softened.

Chapter: Chapter 522 The door closed behind him, and for a brief moment, laughter lingered in the air—soft, disbelieving, almost fragile. Then the room settled again. Chris shifted slightly against the pillows, his expression sobering as he turned his attention to Ethan. “What about Mason?” The name carried no heat now. No fury. Just a need for finality. Ethan straightened. “Cara transported him to the Crimson Legion headquarters shortly after you arrived here. He’s been placed in their highest-security prison—isolated, monitored, and restrained.” “No loopholes?” Chris asked quietly. “None,” Ethan said firmly. “He’ll never be a problem again. Not to you. Not to Eva. Not to the White family.” Chris exhaled, a slow breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. Something inside him loosened—not triumph, not satisfaction, but relief. “Good,” he said. He glanced around the room then—at Amanda hovering near Eva, at Elliot standing near the window, at Ethan waiting silently. “Please,” Chris sai

Chapter: Chapter 521Chris slowly lifted his uninjured hand and cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing away a tear before it could fall. “Listen to me,” he said firmly, though his voice remained gentle. “Your kidnapping wasn’t your fault. It was mine.” Her lips parted in protest, but he continued. “I was reckless. I underestimated my enemies. I let my guard down—and you paid the price for it.” His jaw tightened. “That won’t happen again. I promise you. No harm, no danger will disrupt our lives like this anymore.” She searched his eyes, as if trying to see whether those words were merely comfort—or a vow carved in stone. “I believe you,” she said softly. At that moment, the door swung open again. “Well, well,” a familiar, amused voice drawled. “Looks like the hero finally rose from the dead.” Amanda strolled in with an exaggerated sigh, hands on her hips. “I was starting to think I’d need to attend your funeral just to confirm you weren’t actually immortal.” Chris huffed weakly. “Nice to see

Chapter: Chapter 520 A day later, Chris woke to silence. Not the eerie, suffocating silence of unconsciousness—but the gentle, familiar quiet of home. Soft sheets cradled his body. The faint scent of polished wood and clean linen lingered in the air. Sunlight filtered through half-drawn curtains, painting warm streaks of gold across the ceiling. For a few seconds, he simply stared upward, blinking slowly. …My room? The realization came with confusion rather than relief. His body felt heavy, as if gravity had doubled overnight. A dull ache pulsed through his ribs, his arm throbbed beneath layers of bandages, and every breath reminded him that he’d been pushed well past his limits. Still, compared to the last thing he remembered—blood, pain, Mason’s twisted grin—it was… peaceful. Too peaceful. His brows furrowed as fragmented memories surfaced. Eva’s scream. Mason’s grip. The burning fury that had drowned out everything else. Then darkness. How long was I out? As if summoned by the thou

Chapter: Chapter 519The door opened, and Charles strode in. For a man who usually carried himself with composed authority, his unease was unmistakable. His eyes swept the room immediately, landing on Chris’s battered form before snapping to Eva. “Eva,” he said sharply, crossing the room in long strides. “Are you hurt?” She shook her head quickly. “I’m okay,” she said, then corrected herself. “Mostly. Chris—he—” “I know,” Charles said, his voice softening as he placed his hands on her shoulders, inspecting her carefully. Relief flickered across his face when he found no serious injuries. “Thank God.” Her throat tightened. “He saved me. He got there just in time.” Charles closed his eyes briefly, exhaling. When he looked back at Chris, something dark and dangerous passed through his gaze. Gratitude, yes—but also fury at the cost. The doctor cleared his throat. “Mr. White, I’m going to need the room cleared. Master Chris requires complete rest.” Eva stiffened immediately. “I’ll stay.” Charles hesit

Chapter: Chapter 176Just as Miles prepared to continue his relentless assault, a powerful surge of mana suddenly exploded between him and Darius. BOOM! A violent shockwave rippled across the executive floor, blasting chunks of shattered concrete and twisted steel in every direction. Dust filled the air as the overwhelming pressure forced both combatants to halt their movements instinctively. A figure descended from above. She landed gracefully between them. The fractured floor beneath her feet cracked from the impact, thin fissures spreading across the marble like a spider's web. A faint wave of mana rolled outward from her body, carrying an oppressive authority that immediately distinguished her from every hunter who had appeared before. Charlotte Harris. Director of the Hunter Association. The silver insignia embroidered on her long navy coat fluttered gently as the dust settled around her. She stood perfectly upright, one hand resting calmly on the hilt of her sword, her posture composed despi

Chapter: Chapter 175The upper floors of the Knights Guild Headquarters had become almost unrecognizable. Massive sections of reinforced concrete hung precariously over the city, twisted steel beams protruded from shattered walls, and thick clouds of dust drifted through the night sky as emergency sirens echoed from the streets below. Every tremor that rippled through the building reminded the surviving hunters that the headquarters—once regarded as one of the safest places in the city—now stood on the brink of collapse. Miles and Darius faced one another across the fractured rooftop. For a brief moment, neither man moved. The silence was unnerving. Only the sound of falling debris and the distant cries of evacuation teams disturbed the stillness. Darius fixed his eyes on the young man standing before him, trying to steady his breathing as he searched for any sign that Miles was beginning to tire. Yet the more he looked, the more unsettling the truth became. Miles' posture remained composed, his bre

Chapter: Chapter 174--- Inside the Hunter Association headquarters, the atmosphere remained unusually calm. Rows of agents moved efficiently through the spacious command center as countless holographic displays monitored Demon Rift activity, hunter registrations, and emergency reports arriving from every district of the city. Communication officers relayed information between departments while support staff analyzed mana fluctuations detected throughout the metropolitan area. Everything proceeded according to routine. Until... A young Association agent burst through the command center carrying a crystal communication tablet whose surface flickered with an urgent crimson light. His breathing was uneven. Several nearby officers immediately noticed the emergency priority seal displayed on the report. Without stopping, he hurried toward the upper floor where the Director's Office was located. Reaching the large wooden doors, he quickly composed himself before knocking firmly. "Come in." The calm f

A violent shockwave raced through the headquarters, causing the entire building to tremble from its foundation.Hunters on the lower floors froze."What... was that?""The Guildmaster...""No," another hunter muttered, his face turning pale. "Someone's actually fighting him on equal footing."Back on the executive floor, neither man had moved an inch.Miles and Darius fists remained locked together as two overwhelming auras clashed violently against each other. Mana surged around Darius , while crimson energy rolled off Miles in relentless waves.For several long seconds, they simply stared at one another.Then both vani

Chapter: Chapter 172 A faint chuckle escaped Darius Wilson's lips as he looked at the young man standing protectively before Mia. Despite the destruction surrounding them and the countless reports he had received regarding Miles' rampage through the headquarters, the Guildmaster's expression remained composed, almost amused, as though he were evaluating an interesting specimen rather than confronting the person responsible for reducing one of the city's strongest guilds to ruins. "You certainly live up to the reports," Darius remarked, slowly clasping his hands behind his back while his overwhelming aura continued filling every corner of the shattered executive floor. "Arrogant... fearless... and reckless enough to challenge an entire guild by yourself. I had expected confidence from the person who crippled Derek, but I never imagined it would border on insanity." His golden eyes drifted briefly toward the collapsed walls and the devastated offices before returning to Miles. "You've fought your way th

Chapter: Chapter 171 The thick cloud of dust slowly drifted through the newly exposed chamber as fragments of shattered concrete continued falling from the fractured ceiling. The once-hidden interrogation room, concealed behind layers of reinforced walls and powerful mana barriers, had finally been laid bare. Broken steel bars protruded from the demolished entrance, while the remains of surveillance equipment sparked helplessly beneath the rubble after being destroyed by the tremendous force of Miles' punch. For a brief moment, everything became eerily quiet. Miles' heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears as his eyes searched frantically through the settling dust until they finally found the person he had crossed an entire city to save. "Mia..." The word escaped his lips almost as a whisper. His feet moved before his mind could process what he was seeing. Across the room, Mia hung suspended by restraints attached to the ceiling, her wrists secured high above her head. Her clothes were torn and st

Chapter: CHAPTER 102 - SHOPPING FOR DATEThe moment the mansion agent drove away, Dylan stood at the entrance of Lakeheights Mansion with the keys resting between his fingers, staring at the enormous building before him with an expression that was difficult to hide. Even after everything he had experienced over the past few days, including suddenly becoming a billionaire, acquiring luxury properties and vehicles, and watching his bank balance rise to a level he once could not even imagine, standing in front of a mansion of this magnitude still felt surreal.He inserted the key into the front door and pushed it open.The first thing that greeted him was silence.Not the ordinary silence of an empty room, but the kind of deep, almost unnatural quiet that seemed to stretch through every corner of the massive residence. Dylan stepped inside and slowly looked around, taking in the grand entrance hall, the polished marble floor, the elegant staircase leading toward the upper levels, and the enormous chandelier hanging above him.H

"I imagine you could." They continued through the mansion.Eventually, Sophia led him outside.The backyard contained a massive swimming pool surrounded by lounge areas.Beyond it was a private tennis court.There was also a small outdoor kitchen and entertainment area.Dylan looked toward the detached building."What's that?""The guest house."They walked toward it.The guest house itself was large enough to be considered a luxury home.It contained several bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and private entrance.Dylan shook his head."This system really went overboard."Sophia looked at

Am I speaking with Mr. Dylan Kingston?""Yes.""My name is Sophia Bennett. I'm the property representative assigned to Lakeheights Mansion."Dylan's eyebrows rose.So the agent had finally contacted him."I was actually on my way there."There was a brief pause on the other end."You're already heading there?""Yes. I'm free now, so I thought I'd go and inspect the property.""That's perfect, Mr. Kingston. I was actually calling to arrange the handover. We were waiting for confirmation of when you would be available.""You don't have to wait anymore."Dylan smiled."I'll meet you at the mansion.""Certainly.

Chapter: CHAPTER 98 - SHOPPING FOR CARSBy the time Dylan's final lecture ended, the clock had already passed midday, and the stream of students leaving the lecture hall immediately began dispersing across the university grounds.Dylan slipped his phone into his pocket and stepped outside, but unlike most of the students heading toward the cafeteria or their hostels, he had something else on his mind.The morning's system reward had left him with several things to take care of.He needed to claim his new car.He also needed to visit Lakeheights Mansion and see exactly what kind of property the system had given him.For the moment, however, the car came first.Since he had not returned to his hostel after leaving for class, his school bag was still hanging from his shoulder, and Dylan had no intention of wasting time going back simply to drop it off.
