Chapter: Chapter 58The grand hall shimmered beneath the lantern light, dozens of noble families gathered beneath banners representing every notable house.Seraphina stood near the center of the room, her posture composed despite the murmurs circling around her."The Stormbanes have grown careless," an elder from a rival clan said loudly enough for others to hear. "First a failed academy incident, now unexplained interest in an unranked fighter called Judge."Several guests turned to watch her reaction.Aldric stood a few paces behind her, arms folded, deliberately silent.Seraphina met the elder's gaze without flinching. "Careless implies we acted without purpose. We haven't.""Then explain the Stormbane family's sudden interest in that masked nobody, Madam," another guest pressed."Judge defeated Adler, humiliated many contestants in the Hidden Tower, and survived a bounty that even most assassins wouldn't dare accept," Seraphina replied calmly. "Any family not paying attention to that would be the car

Chapter: Chapter 57Lucian said nothing, but the thought settled cold and certain in his mind.They knew exactly what slept inside him, and they intended to keep him breathing.Several days passed before the city's streets returned to their usual bustle, the memory of Grim Fang's death slowly fading into rumor and gossip.A woman walked through the crowded market district, her hair dyed dark brown, a simple traveling cloak replacing the red robes she once wore.No one recognized Lin Yue.And that was exactly what she wanted.She moved slowly between the stalls, listening to fragments of conversation, gathering everything the city already knew about Judge.The mark on his chest still burned in her memory, more vivid than she wanted to admit.Her organization had searched for traces of that power for generations, and she had stumbled upon it beneath an auction house of all places.She needed to see him again, without the veil, without the fight, just to understand what she was truly looking at.She didn't

Chapter: Chapter 56"I'm fine," Lucian said briefly, saying nothing about the warning still echoing in his mind.Zephyr watched him for a few moments, clearly unconvinced, but chose not to press him further."Amara is waiting near the eastern gate," Zephyr said instead. "Let's move before someone else decides to test their luck tonight."They left the ruined chamber behind, climbing back through the tunnel until the cool night air replaced the dust and stagnant silence underground.Amara immediately fell into step beside them once they emerged, her eyes scanning Lucian's body for injuries. "At least you're not bleeding.""Disappointed?" Lucian asked."Relieved," she corrected, though her tone carried a hint of exasperation.They had barely crossed two streets when a figure stepped out from the shadows of an alley, blocking their path ahead.The man was built like a slab of stone, with a scarred jaw and a heavy cleaver strapped across his back."Judge," the man said, his voice rough as gravel. "Took me lo

Chapter: Chapter 55Lucian pressed his hand against the artifact, then turned toward the shattered balcony, following the faint Karma trace still lingering in the air. "I'm leaving.""Don't," Zephyr said, grabbing his shoulder. "That figure is almost certainly the one leading them. Chasing him alone is suicide.""I know," Lucian replied, shrugging off the grip from his shoulder."Then why—""Because he already knows who I am," the Judge interrupted. "I'd rather find out what that means now than wait for the next attack."Amara stepped forward, standing directly in front of the man. "I'm coming with you.""No." Lucian shook his head firmly, his voice leaving absolutely no room for argument. "Stay with Zephyr.""Lucian—""I will never watch you become a target again," he said, already moving toward the collapsed stage. "Stay here quietly."Amara's jaw tightened, but Zephyr placed a hand on her arm before she could follow, slowly shaking his head.The girl could only let out a heavy sigh and nod dejectedly.

Chapter: Chapter 54Zephyr exhaled, rubbing his temple, when the lanterns overhead flickered once and went out. "Damn, what I was worried about actually happened."Darkness swallowed the entire hall, immediately followed by a deep groan echoing from the walls of the room.Metal barriers slammed down over every visible exit, sealing every side shut.Screams erupted from the crowd as chaos broke out within seconds.Figures moved through the darkness with practiced precision, blades flashing whenever they caught the lantern light."Assassins!" someone shrieked. "They're among the guests!"A merchant near the front collapsed, blood spreading across the marble floor before anyone could react."Help! Help me! Anyone! I'll pay anyone who can help!""Three thousand, no, five thousand gold coins to anyone who can kill those assassins!"Wealthy heirs scrambled to save themselves, while clan guards summoned defensive barriers that illuminated the room with flashes of blue and violet light."Kill them quickly!"Powe

Chapter: Chapter 53Lucian held her gaze without blinking, and for a moment neither of them looked away.The woman finally broke the stare, turning back toward the stage when the auctioneer finally made his decision and shouted, "Sold to Madam!"Immediately allowing the attendant to bring the relic to her.After that she did not leave.Instead, she took a seat near the front, close enough that Lucian could feel her attention lingering on him even though the woman faced forward."Our next item," the auctioneer called, "a ceremonial blade said to have belonged to a general who fell in the wars of old.""One thousand!" The bidding opened at a low price.Several hands immediately rose at once. "Five thousand!""No, seven thousand! Give it to me!""Too low! Ten thousand!""Ten thousand is already too expensive. How can they spend money on that sword?" Someone whispered to the person beside him."Rich people sometimes have strange thoughts. But still, ten thousand is far too high."0Several people nodded, ten

" You......what gut do you have?! You of all people! You called me a cheat and a betrayal? Well, you can say that, but I don't give a damn! Do you think I am going to wait and starve with you?! What do you take me for? I was only doing you a favour by dating you, you don't have a future, a good life, job, a family, money, inheritance, status, name, house, car, career, investment, no worth, you aren't even famous or anything! Basically, you don't have anything! So, what can you offer me?! Tell me, Liam Storm, what can you offer me?! How can you make your life and my life better?! I thought since you graduated as the best student from the top college, you will be wealthy, but guess I am totally wrong! You are as worthless as a penniless bastard and nothing but a loser after your graduation!!"
She spat angrily at him, pointing to him as she yelled. Then, she moved closer to the man on the bed and smiled at him.

Chapter: Chapter 195. Hurting She took in deep exaggerated breath from speaking too fast without pausing, and her jaws set, annoyed, heartbroken and crestfallen! " I want a divorce Liam!" She declared in a solemn tone.Liam scowled and stepped forward." Get back! Don't come close to me!" She warned him in a low voice. " Zelda, you can't do this! I didn't mean to keep the truth about who I am from you! I only wanted to protect you and not let you get involve in all this! Yes, it was all my fault, but I am sorry. I only did it because I love you, and I don't want to lose you! Of course, I am still going let you know some day, but that would be when I am free from all the troubles! I just .......did it for you."He tried to explain himself, despite how he was hurting, but he sincerely hoped for Zelda to believe and forgive him. " No, Liam! You did it for yourself!" Zelda refused to accept his explanation and snorted! " Have you thought about how I was going to feel about this, when you hid it from me? I

Chapter: Chapter 192. Proceed with the plan As Liam was about to take the drink, her heart raced, and her eyes contracted. Unexpectedly, Liam's phone rang.His eyes lowered at the phone and he didn't hesitate to answer it, placing down the cup of medicinal drink, and he stood up from the dinning room..." Excuse me." "Okay honey."'Zelda nodded and gestured for him to leave. A look of disappointment flashed across Andrea and Brian's face, but they were careful enough not to show it. After Liam left, Zelda and Angelina chatted on the dining room without talking to Andrea and Brian.Andrea rolled her eyes inwardly with disdain and turned to Zelda again. " You should take the drink since your useless husband didn't take it." She acted as if she didn't care, but she was secretly praying and hoping for Zelda to take the drink. Zelda lifted her eyes at Andrea and squinted them sharply. " What did I say again? I don't like it!"She hissed and withdrew her gaze in annoyance. Andrea dropped her gaze downward and balled her fi
