Chapter: CHAPTER 710Inside the Grand Ballroom, Valthera leaned over the table. "It was a Deathshade," Valthera stated, her voice echoing in the sudden silence. "A creature that was sent to execute the Dragon Heir, the head of the Lancaster group."A collective gasp rippled through the room. Madame Fiona’s red lips parted in shock, but Carl Lin narrowed his eyes, his fingers drumming against the table. "There is only one person among us who has summoned him in the past," Valthera continued, her gaze landing on the empty chair at the end of the table. "The Titan Heir, Viktor Volkov. And he is conveniently absent.""The Titan?" Carl Lin hissed, leaning forward. "Why would he risk it? Killing an Heir is the highest treason. The blood-laws forbid it. He’s the strongest of us physically.""Because the Dragon seat is the most powerful position on the Council," Valthera replied. "It has been vacant for years, and Viktor grew tired of waiting for the Lancaster bloodline to fail on its own. He chose to accelerat

Chapter: CHAPTER 709"Everyone at that table acts like they have each other's interests at heart, but they’re just waiting to tear the city apart.""If power is left vacant, someone will snatch it to wreak havoc," Kane said, leaning against a marble pillar. "That’s why we have Valthera, the keeper. She brings balance. She has attained the highest level of martial arts skills known to man. She’s been keeping these monsters in check for years. Forget her looks, Clara, she’s at least 300 years old."Clara rolled her eyes. "I don’t care about your family stories or how old she is."Kane’s face hardened, his tone becoming sharp. "Hey. You show some respect. She is your boss now, and she’s the only reason you aren't a corpse in a ditch."Inside the hall, the atmosphere was thick with the smell of expensive steak and ancient power. Valthera approached the long mahogany table, her face a mask of iron."Valthera!" Carl Lin called out, wiping grease from his chin. "You finally decided to summon us. What's the occas

Chapter: CHAPTER 708Clara watched the room, her skin crawling. Every corner of the hotel screamed luxury, but the people inside were monsters in human skin. They were drinking, laughing, and shaking hands."Your brother inherited the seat," Valthera concluded, her voice dropping to a low hum. "But someone decided to take him out before he could truly ascend the throne. They didn't just want him gone... they wanted the Dragon seat empty."Valthera stopped at the massive, gilded double doors of the Grand Ballroom. She turned to Clara, her eyes hard and professional. "Stay here in the lobby with the men. Do not move, do not speak to anyone, and for heaven's sake, do not draw attention to yourself. Understood?"Before Clara could protest, Valthera disappeared into the main hall. The heavy doors clicked shut, leaving Clara standing with Kane and Dorian.Clara’s blood was boiling. The people who had orchestrated her brother’s fall were just a few feet away. She took a step toward the doors, her hand reaching f

Chapter: CHAPTER 707In a move so fast Clara’s eyes couldn't even track it, the woman spun. She didn't just disarm Clara, she snatched the gun away, twisted Clara's arm, and pinned her face-first against the floor. The barrel of the gun was now pressed hard against Clara's temple."Next time, if you want to shoot, just do it," the woman hissed. "I did not kill your brother. Why would I? I only just received the news that he died.""The council killed him!" Clara groaned through the pain. "But a creature... a thing made of living darkness... it attacked him."The woman froze. She slowly released the pressure and stepped back, her face pale. "A creature that looked like darkness?" she repeated. "A Deathshade?"Clara rolled onto her back, clutching her arm. "Yes. It was like a shadow that could breathe.""That changes everything," the woman whispered. "Deathshades don't belong to this dimension. They are ancient, evil tools used by the most powerful beings. Someone from the Council Table must have sent it af

Chapter: CHAPTER 705The woman didn't even drop her cigar.She stepped inside Clara’s swing and delivered a lightning-fast kick to Clara’s stomach. Clara flew across the room, smashing into a row of wooden cabinets. Files rained down on her as she hit the floor, wheezing and coughing, the air completely gone from her lungs.The woman stood over her, puffing out a cloud of smoke. She looked down at Clara with a mix of pity and professional interest."Your fighting skills are horrible, honestly," she said, tapping the ash off her cigar onto the floor. "Pure street brawling. No discipline. But..." she paused, watching Clara struggle to get back up. "You’ve got potential."Clara coughed, the metallic taste of blood filling her mouth as she pushed herself up from the floor. Her vision swam, but the sight of the woman—coolly puffing on her cigar snapped her back. With a scream of defiance, Clara lunged forward again. She threw a barrage of punches, but it was like fighting a shadow. The woman moved with a te

She followed immediately. The woman hopped into a taxi, while Clara scrambled into another. and and She threw a wad of cash at the driver. "Follow that car! Don't lose it!"The chase led to a quiet, high-end neighborhood. The woman’s taxi stopped in front of a modern, grey-stone house. Clara waited until the woman went inside, then she crept around the side, finding an unlocked window to the basement.She dropped into the dark room and clicked on a small flashlight. Her eyes widened. It wasn't a normal basement, it was an archive. Rows of files were neatly arranged in steel cabinets. She sprinted to the "L" section.She pulled a folder labeled LANCASTER, ADRIAN.Her breath hitched. Inside were photos of his childhood, his height, his fingerprints, and a detailed map of their old home. They had been watching him for a decade.S

Chapter: CHAPTER 100The Mafia Lord stood up slowly, his legs trembling slightly as he surveyed the devastation of his throne room.He looked Lance in the eyes, his bravado replaced by desperation."Fine!" the Lord shouted, his voice echoing over the groans of the dying. "Fine! You win this round. You can take the boy, you can take the mother, and you can get the hell out of my house!"With a flick of his wrist, he unclipped the heavy steel lock on the boy’s collar. The iron chain clattered to the floor like a dead snake.The boy didn't hesitate. He scrambled across the blood-slicked marble, his small feet sliding as he raced toward Sarah."Mom! Mom!" he sobbed.Sarah lunged forward from behind the pillar, catching him in her arms and collapsing to her knees. She buried her face in his neck, her tears washing away the dirt on his skin. "My son... oh, my sweet boy. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything that has happened to you," she wailed, her heart finally mending after months of agony.The Mafia Lor

Chapter: CHAPTER 99Sarah collapsed against a massive marble pillar, hiding her face. They were outnumbered a hundred to one. Lance had no gun. No sword. No armor.Lance took a slow breath, his muscles coiling like a predator preparing to strike. He raised his voice so every man in the room could hear him."I will give whoever wants to live a single chance," Lance announced, his tone terrifyingly calm. "Drop your weapons and walk out of those doors right now. If you stay, you die."The guards paused for a heartbeat, then erupted into mocking laughter."You hear this fool?" a scarred mercenary shouted, swinging a spiked club. "He thinks he's a god! Even a madman wouldn't challenge the Lord in his own den! You're going to die screaming, boy!""Have it your way, then," Lance whispered.The first wave lunged. Six men charged from the front, their spiked batons swinging in deadly arcs. Lance stepped into the attack.He ducked under the first swing, the spikes whistling inches above his head.

Chapter: CHAPTER 98The Mafia Lord stared at Lance for a heartbeat, then burst into a dark, mocking laugh that shook the chandeliers."Release him? Just like that?" He pulled the chain hard, making the boy gasp for air. "What audacity! You stand in my home and make demands? This family owes me! For years, they refused to give me what is rightfully mine. They held onto a treasure they didn't have the blood to protect. Once I get what I want from them, I will hang them both from the gates of this mansion!""You mean... this?" Lance interrupted.With a slow, deliberate motion, Lance reached into his shirt. He pulled out the Veritanium pendant.The moment the jewel emerged, the room seemed to gasp. The ancient mineral pulsed with a faint violet light, as if it had a heartbeat of its own. It cast a ghostly glow over Lance’s face, making him look like an avenging god.The Mafia Lord’s face drained of all color. His jaw dropped, and he actually stumbled back a step, nearly tripping over his own throne. The gree

Chapter: CHAPTER 97The Mafia Lord took a long, slow drag of his cigar.He didn't even look up at first, his polished boot still grinding into the small of the boy’s back.A cruel, jagged smile spread across his lips as he finally exhaled."Welcome," the Mafia Lord purred, his voice rattling like dry bones. "I must say, I am impressed. Many have searched the earth for this woman. My best trackers, my most ruthless hunters... they all failed. Somehow, this woman seemed to be invisible."He flicked a clump of ash onto the boy’s matted hair and finally looked at Lance. "The two million dollars I promised? Forget it. You have done the impossible. I will make it five million dollars for bringing her to me alive. Consider it a bonus for your efficiency."Sarah’s breath hitched. She looked at the stacks of money and the power in that room, then at Lance’s stoic profile. Five million dollars. It was a king’s ransom.A sum that could turn any saint into a devil.

His voice dropped, low and steady.“Are you okay?”Sarah swallowed hard, forcing herself to nod. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes…”Lance reached for her gently, steadying her with a hand on her shoulder.“Let’s get out of here.”He guided her back toward the jeep. Sarah clutched at his sleeve, stumbling as she moved, but Lance didn’t let her fall. He opened the door and ushered her in.Then he climbed behind the wheel himself.Although there was no door left on his side.His hands gripped the wheel.And as if the world itself had recognized his wrath, the traffic melted away.The jam that had trapped them moments before dissolved as vehicles lurched forward, scattering.

They didn’t even have time to scream before collapsing into broken heaps.The mercenary with the giant blade roared and charged, his weapon slicing downward with the force of an avalanche.WHOOSH—But Lance ducked low, the blade missing his head by an inch.He surged upward with a kick like thunder.WHAM!His boot buried into the man’s stomach.
