Chapter: CHAPTER 296Lucien’s face twisted with fury. He spat the words like a whip. “What is this? You cheated, bastard! You used tricks! This isn’t fair!”He ground his teeth until his jaw ached. Zane stood beside Adrian with his gaze locked on Zon Lucien. He was waiting for the signal to end his life.He could already imagine Lucien’s head rolling at his feet. Adrian lifted a single finger.In a blink, Zane was beside Lucien. He moved so fast his shadow blurred. The sword came up and the cold edge kissed Lucien’s throat.“Wait!” Sophia’s scream cut through the air like glass. She stumbled down the steps, hands pressed to her mouth. “Please — no! Don’t kill him!”Lucien’s voice turned to a hiss. “Kill me? You think you can spill my blood and nothing will come of it? My father will raise armies. Thousands will march. They will burn your houses. They will tear the Aldridge name from the earth.”He tried to jerk away, but the blade held him down. Blood trickled down his neck.Sophia raced to Adrian. “Ad

Chapter: CHAPTER 295Lucien’s smirk deepened. "It is already too late for you, Lacanster. Take a knife, slit your throat, and save me the trouble.”Adrian’s eyes didn’t even flicker. His voice, when it came, was quiet — almost bored. “You really brought a hundred men just to take one woman? Don’t you have any shame?”Lucien’s expression darkened.“A real man,” Adrian continued, stepping forward slowly, “doesn’t hide behind soldiers. If you had a spine, you’d fight me yourself. But you don’t... do you? You’re just another spoiled coward living off your father’s title.""So take my offer... get in your car, drive out of this compound, and take your tail with you.”The tension in the courtyard spiked like an electric charge. Even the birds that had perched on the rooftop scattered into the sky.Sophia’s heart pounded. “Adrian, stop it!” she shouted, her voice shaking. “Now is not the time to play hero! You have no chance!” She stepped forward, fear flashing across her face. “Please, get on your knees and be

Chapter: CHAPTER 294Lucien’s face went hard as iron. He pointed at the two alchemists crumpled against the wall, spitting gravel and blood. “Who dares lay a finger on my men?” he barked.The Aldridge family rose slowly from the ground, coughing as they tried to make sense of what was going on. Sarah pressed a hand to her chest. Gerald helped Elena to her feet. From the black sedan, the driver’s door opened and Adrian stepped out.For a heartbeat, the courtyard held its breath.The two alchemists who had just attacked the Aldridges writhed on the ground like broken toys. Lucien’s sneer sharpened into a snarl. “You!” he barked. “Are you not the useless ex-husband? The parasite that latched onto the Aldridge name? Even they had the decency to cast you out. You—” His voice climbed, viper-thin. “I’ve heard everything. How you wormed your way into their fortunes, how you tried to ruin their family.""You are nothing. If you know what’s good for you, take a knife and slit your own throat.”Adrian did not f

Chapter: CHAPTER 293Lucien’s cold eyes swept across the courtyard, daring anyone else to speak.No one did.The silence was suffocating.But then Sophia moved.“Sophia, don’t...” Elena whispered, clutching her sister’s wrist. She could feel the tremor in Sophia’s body and that always means that she was about to explode with rage.But this was not the right time.Sophia tore her hand free. Her voice rang sharp through the smoky air. “You think because of your little party tricks I’ll bow to you?” she shouted. “You might be a prince but have no idea who I am!”Her father stepped forward beside her, his expression fierce despite the danger. “My daughter belongs to no one,” Gerald growled. “Not even the son of a duke!”Lucien’s smirk faltered. His eyes darkened. “You should’ve kept quiet.”He lifted one hand slowly, fingers twitching with unnatural precision. Behind him, his two alchemists stepped forward. The air began to hum.CRACK!The entire compound’s lights exploded at once. Sparks showered the court

Chapter: CHAPTER 292The man’s polished shoes crunched against the gravel as he stepped forward. The sunlight flashed against his dark shades. The Aldridge family stood at the top of the steps. “Who are you?” Mr. Aldridge demanded, his voice echoing through the open courtyard. “And what business do you have here?” The young man stopped a few paces away, straightened his collar, and gave a faint smile. “I am a man,” he said calmly, but his voice was filled with heavy authority, “who has come for what is rightfully his.” Mrs. Aldridge frowned, her pulse quickening. “What are you talking about?” The stranger tilted his head slightly, as though studying them. “The Aldridge family signed a contract years ago... one that promised Sophia Aldridge to me.” Gasps rippled through the servants and guards. Sophia stepped forward, eyes wide, fury rising in her chest. “What?” The man continued in a steady tone. “The Guild came to collect on my behalf. You interfered. Now I’ve come to settle it persona

Chapter: CHAPTER 291Sophia blinked several times, her mind slowly piecing together the last thing she remembered which was the explosion and Adrian’s voice shouting her name… But something else caught her attention. Her body felt… different. Lighter. Stronger. Like every nerve in her body was alive again. She sat up slowly, ignoring her mother’s protests. “What... what did they give me?” she asked, her voice hoarse but steady. “I feel… different. Like I could run ten miles.” Mrs. Aldridge hesitated. She looked at her husband, unsure if she should say it. Sophia frowned. “What?” Mr. Aldridge cleared his throat. “You were unconscious when we brought you here... Adrian gave you a herbal serum which helped to stabilize you.” Sophia froze. For a moment, disbelief crossed her face. “Adrian?” she whispered. “He… saved me?” “Yes,” her mother said quietly. “But...” Sophia’s eyes softened for a second, something unreadable flashing in them. Then Mrs. Aldridge’s next words shattered it co

Chapter: CHAPTER 305Nathan’s consciousness began to return as a sharp intake of breath filled his lungs. His chest rose violently, his body convulsing like he’d been struck by lightning. Then came the surge which felt like electricity, the force that seemed to awaken every cell in him. Power unlike anything he had ever felt began to course through his veins. It wasn’t just adrenaline; it was something supernatural. Nathan’s fingers twitched, curling into the dirt beneath him. Despite his wounds he felt zero pain. The darkened sky rumbled, thunder cracked, and the atmosphere was heavy as if the heavens themselves were about to witness what was about to happen. Nathan opened his eyes. They gleamed with an intensity they hadn’t held beforebefore, he staggered to his feet, and his fingers curled into a fist. The branch he had clung to was now in pieces beneath him, Nathanglanced upward, and his jaws tightened. Sebastian!!! Nathan didn’t need to think. He planted his foot against the rock wa

Not like this. Not today. The branch creaked remindinf him that time was running out. Nathan closed his eyes and he gritted his teeth as he tired to summon the strength to pull himself up. He could hear Sebastian’s cruel laughter above as he mocked him. The so called Almighty Lord Cloud was finally taken down by his own half brother. "Tell your son that his father was a coward..." Nathan’s eyes burned red with determination but his body was too weak. The branch snapped with a sudden, deafening crack, and Nathan fell once again into the abyss.

Sebastian, however, remained unmoved, he stood over Nathan with a grin on his bloodied face. "You really do not know when to quit, do you?" Sebastian taunted him. Nathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I will never quit," he said in a hoarse voice. "Not until I’ve destroyed you." Sebastian chuckled darkly, he was amused by Nathan's arrogance. "Destroy me?" he repeated mockinghim. "You can’t even stand properly, Lord Cloud." Once again he lunged forward with lightning speed, his fists striking Nathan. Nathan barely managed to block the first blow, but the second punch hit his jaw, and it sent him staggering backward.

The voice on the other end of the line was cold and merciless, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.James then turned off the speaker of the phone so that he could not hear what they were discussing."Amelia, we need to stay calm," James said, his voice steady despite the fear gnawing at his insides. "We have to do exactly as they say if we want to get out of this alive."Amelia nodded,
