Chapter: CHAPTER 201She hurriedly put her luxury shoes back on and scurried out of the office, taking the elevator down to the grand lobby. She sat nervously on one of the plush waiting chairs, her eyes glued to the front entrance.A few minutes later, a luxury car screeched to a halt outside the glass doors. Elena stepped out, wearing a glamorous outfit and a thick layer of makeup to hide the mark on her face. She held her chin up high, strutting toward the entrance of Astra Corp like she owned the entire block.But the moment she tried to walk through the heavy security gates, two massive, heavily armed corporate guards stepped directly into her path, blocking her completely.Elena stopped dead in her tracks, her temper instantly rising. "What the hell is the meaning of this? Move out of my way! Madam Selene personally called for me to come here!"The lead security guard looked down at her with a completely stone-cold expression. "I am incredibly sorry, ma'am. But after what happened during your last v

Chapter: CHAPTER 200"No," Selene said firmly, slamming her hand lightly on the desk. "I absolutely refuse to sign anything with you."Georgia’s eyes widened, and her face turned pale. Panic seized her throat. If this deal slipped through their fingers because of a tiny scheduling issue, the Sinclair family would become the laughingstock of the entire high-society world."Please, ma'am! Please, Madam Selene!" Georgia begged, her voice rising in a desperate panic. "I will get her here in an instant! I will call her right now and force her to come down here!"With trembling fingers, Georgia pulled her smartphone out of her designer handbag. She quickly dialed Elena’s number and pressed the phone tightly against her ear, praying her daughter would pick up.Back across the city, Elena was actually standing inside a high-end luxury car dealership, happily admiring a sparkling, brand-new sports car. When her phone buzzed, she answered it instantly."Hey, Mom! Have you signed the massive deal yet?" Elena asked,

Chapter: CHAPTER 199"Yes, Ma'am! We gave her the full royal treatment just as you ordered!" the receptionist replied proudly.Selene took her private executive elevator straight to the top floor. A professional smile formed on her face as she walked down the hallway. She was fully expecting to open the doors and see Isabelle—the brilliant, humble woman who had written the beautiful proposal and whom Lance cherished above all else.But the moment Selene pushed the heavy office doors open, her smile completely vanished.Her eyes widened in absolute shock and confusion.There, sitting carelessly on her expensive designer leather sofa, was Georgia. The old woman had her shoes off, her bare feet resting in the hands of a massage therapist, while her mouth was stuffed with expensive food. The entire office smelled like a buffet, and dishes were scattered everywhere.Selene stood frozen at the entrance, her expression turning cold."What the hell is going on here?" Selene asked with a frown.Georgia’s heart ski

Chapter: CHAPTER 198"U-Uhmm, it's nothing, Mom!" Elena stammered, quickly forcing a very weak, sickly cough. She rubbed her forehead and faked a miserable expression. "The thing is... I am just not feeling too well today. My stomach hurts, and my head is spinning."Georgia looked at her skeptically. "Not feeling well? But you have been jumping all around the house in pure excitement since early this morning.""Uhmm, I think it's because I haven't fully recovered from that horrible ambush by those street thugs the other day," Elena lied smoothly, trying her best to look fragile. "I think it is actually much better if you go to Astra Corp today, Mom! I have already met Madam Selene briefly, but since you are the matriarch, meeting her face-to-face is a wonderful idea. You need to know our supreme business partner one-on-one!"Georgia paused, thinking about it for a moment. She nodded her head slowly. "You know what? That is actually a very valid point. It is highly professional for the main matriarch to si

Chapter: CHAPTER 197She then turned to Elena, her eyes beaming with immense pride. She wrapped her arms around her youngest daughter in a tight embrace. "I am so incredibly proud of you, my dear. Even though you are only my second-born child, you behave so much better than the first-born. You will do very well as the leader of our empire, and I know for a fact that I will never have any regrets making you my successor.""Thank you so much, Mom!" Elena cheered, basking in the glory.The entire room erupted into loud applause once again, clinking their glasses together as the grand ceremony continued late into the night before finally coming to an end.Later that night, Elena was so incredibly excited that she could barely sleep. Her mind was racing at a million miles per hour. She was now the official Head of the Sinclair family business, a corporation that had suddenly become one of the biggest, most powerful entities in the entire region.She spent hours lying in her luxurious bed, happily scrolling thr

Chapter: CHAPTER 196To Georgia, the answer was completely obvious. In her eyes, Lance was a man who had just spent the afternoon pretending to be the General, making him the most obvious, untrustworthy liar in the room. There was no way she would let an outcast ruin her family's greatest night.Georgia slammed her hand heavily on the podium, the loud thud echoing through the speakers."ENOUGH!!!" Georgia roared at the top of her lungs. "I have had absolutely enough of your nonsense, both of you! Isabelle, I only invited you here tonight out of pity so you and your starving family could eat some free food! And now, you still dare to stand there and spin these disgusting lies to humiliate your sister?! You have completely crossed your limits!""But Mom!!!" Isabelle shouted, tears finally streaming down her face."I said ENOUGH!" Georgia screamed back, her eyes filled with pure hatred. "Get out of my house right now, and don't you ever come back! I never want to see your pathetic faces anywhere near our fam

Chapter: CHAPTER 787But when they stepped through the doorway, there was no one, just the large golden retriever, Jerry, sitting happily next to a rubber ball on the floor.Clara let out a silent breath of pure relief. "Come here, boy!" she called out to the dog. Jerry trotted over to her, wagging his tail. Clara dropped to her knees and began rubbing his furry body dynamically, using the dog to hide the trembling in her hands. She knew the dog was here because of Brian.She looked up at Xander, her eyes cold as ice. "Have you seen enough, Xander? Or do you want a full house tour?"Xander stared at the dog, then looked back at Clara. The suspicion in his eyes didn't fully fade, but he shrugged his shoulders. "See you around, Clara," he said with a tight smile. He turned on his heel and walked straight out of the apartment, slamming the front door shut behind him.The moment the lock clicked, Clara didn't waste a single second. She rushed across the room toward the large wooden wardrobe in the corner. Sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 740Xander let out a sharp, mocking laugh, running a finger over the back of her couch. "The Obsidian Syndicate never needs permission, Clara. We go wherever we want, whenever we want." He stopped pacing and turned around to look at her, his eyes narrowing. "This morning, we burst into a local church in search of a very specific target. But something unusual happened. Something that has never, ever happened to us before. Someone beat us to the location. Real pros."Clara's eyes widened. The fact that he was here meant he didn't have any proof it was them; otherwise, he would have already tried to kill her.Clara forced a small, polite smile to her face, acting as if she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. "Wow. Sounds like you guys had a very rough morning."Xander walked up to her, closing the distance until he was standing right in front of her. The air between them turned completely tense. "Where exactly were you this morning, Clara? And what is this fresh injury on your

Chapter: CHAPTER 785Ashley swallowed hard. She lowered her head slowly. "Yes, sir."Later that evening, the heavy silence in Clara’s apartment was broken by the sharp ringing of her phone. She looked at the screen; it was Henry. She walked out onto the small, quiet balcony to answer the call."What happened, Clara?!" Henry shouted out of frustration. "We had a solid deal! You were supposed to locate the assassin woman and bring her to me so the department could secure the lead. What the hell is up with this kid you took instead?"Clara let out a long sigh, resting her forehead against the cool metal railing of the balcony. "I couldn't do that, Henry. Everything changed because of Valthera. And besides, the assassin woman is dead. The little kid was the actual one who saw the King's face, not his sister. She was trying to protect him.""What?!" Henry gasped, completely stunned."Yes," Clara continued, her voice dropping into a serious whisper. "And that is exactly why the King wants him dead. He sent Butc

Chapter: CHAPTER 784Grace was currently facing the large living room window, sitting quietly in a comfortable wheelchair. She was staring out at the city view."Hey, Grace," Clara said gently, walking up beside her.Grace turned around slowly in her wheelchair. The moment her eyes landed on Clara, a faint, sweet smile broke across her weathered face. "Clara..." she muttered softly, her voice weak but full of warmth. "How are you, dear?""I'm doing fine," Clara whispered, leaning down to give her a deep, loving hug.When they pulled apart, Grace’s eyes immediately drifted down to Brian, who was still standing by the doorway, looking terrified. Grace looked at him, desperately trying to remember if this little boy was someone she had forgotten. "Who is this?" Grace asked softly."This is Brian," Clara explained, gently touching the boy's shoulder to pull him closer. "He is the son of a very dear friend of mine. She... she is no more, Grace. She asked me to take care of him and keep him safe."Grace’s eye

"If I brought the entire police force rushing in, the informant would have been exposed and killed."The Commander let out a bitter, mocking laugh. "Oh, really?! You tell me the exact name of your informant right now, Henry!"Do you have any idea what a massive political mess this is?! If you don't give me a name immediately, I will fire you so fast you won't even know what hit you!"Henry didn't flinch. He slowly leaned back in his office chair, crossing his arms as he stared directly into his superior's angry eyes."You know what? Go ahead and do it," Henry said, his voice dropping into a dangerously cold, calm whisper. "Fire me right now. But if you do, you will be permanently losing your most valuable informant on the biggest case in the country."Let me see how you explain to the Minister of Defense how you had a perfect chance to solve t

Chapter: CHAPTER 782"He can handle it," Valthera insisted coldly, her face showing no emotion whatsoever. "We don't have time for patience. The Syndicate is hunting us."But Thomas stepped forward, placing a firm, heavy hand on the table. His expression was incredibly stern as he glared at Valthera. "There are some lines we do not cross, Valthera. We are not going to drug an innocent seven-year-old child."Valthera let out a long, frustrated sigh, leaning back against the couch. "Fine. But he is the only solid lead we have to find the King. If we can't get any information from him yet, I guess I have no choice. I will have to set up a high-stakes meeting with the leader of the Outcast Gang." She paused, looking around at her team. "Even if the boy eventually talks, we are going to need a literal army if we are going to go up against the King's entire empire."She stood up, her voice turning into a strict command.

They had heard rumors of his invincibility, but witnessing it firsthand sent chills down their spines."You still have one last chance to surrender," James declared, his tone final. "Or face the consequences."But the gang members, fueled by arrogance and greed, refused to yield.

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.

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.
