Chapter: CHAPTER 908Henry didn't even flinch. He slowly folded his badge holder, slid it back into his pocket, and let out a quiet, tired sigh."I gave you a choice," Henry said softly."Stop the act and pay us!!!"Before the lead thug could react, Henry moved.BLUR!Henry closed the distance in a fraction of a second. His hand shot forward, grabbing the barrel of the thug’s 9mm pistol and twisting it sharply upward.CRACK!The lead thug screamed in agony as his wrist snapped. Henry ripped the gun out of his grip, swept his leg across the man's ankles, and drove his elbow straight down into the thug's chest. The leader slammed violently onto the pavement, knocked completely unconscious before he even hit the ground."BOSS!" one of the enforcers yelled in shock."GET HIM!"Four thugs rushed Henry at once, swinging their heavy iron baseball bats and steel pipes with brutal force.Henry ducked under the first swing, the metal pipe whistling harmlessly over his head. He stepped inside the second thug's guard

Chapter: CHAPTER 907She pointed to Sophia, who was standing near the ribbon, her silver eyes glowing with a faint, dangerous light as a quiet breeze began to circle her fingertips."That woman right there?" Clara continued, her tone dangerously calm. "Sophia could snap every drop of air right out of your lungs in a split second. You and all nine of your men could be dead from sudden suffocation before your brains even have the chance to react to the trigger."Clara took a step closer to the gun, looking the lead thug dead in the eye. "I am giving you one single chance to turn around, get back into your little jeeps, and go home. Right now."The lead thug blinked, momentarily taken aback by her complete lack of fear. But as he looked at the quiet family standing in front of him—a woman in a sweater, a guy in a tailored suit, and a few construction workers—his arrogance quickly returned. He threw his head back and let out a booming laugh, his men joining in with crude jeers and taunts."Snap the air out of

Chapter: CHAPTER 906Grace stood near the ribbon, dressed in a lovely pastel yellow dress, holding little Brian's hand. Brian was wearing a small bowtie, grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the spacious front yard filled with new playground equipment.Clara stood nearby in a simple cream sweater and jeans, chatting happily with Sophia and Thomas. Dorian was sitting on the porch steps, sipping coffee and enjoying the morning breeze. Adrian was standing near his car, finishing a quiet business call on his phone.Clara hadn't yet found the right moment to break the news about Oakhaven to Adrian. Looking at how peaceful her family was right now, she hesitated to shatter the mood just yet."Alright, everyone!" Grace called out with a glowing smile, holding a pair of golden ceremonial scissors. "Before we cut the ribbon, I want to thank—"VROOOOOOM!The deafening roar of heavy engines suddenly shattered the peaceful morning air.Three matte-black, rugged off-road jeeps came speeding down the narrow street,

Chapter: CHAPTER 905The silence inside the car became suffocating. The joy drained from Clara’s face, replaced by sudden shock. "Oakhaven...?" Clara whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the car engine. "That's... that's thousands of miles away. On the other side of the country." Henry swallowed hard, his throat tight. "Yes." "Move?" Clara asked, her voice cracking slightly as panic crept in. "How can we move, Henry? My whole life is here! Adrian just came back... we just built the estate... Grace just got her memories back, and Brian is finally safe! My entire family is here!" She shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "It just feels like... like life always wants to find a way to keep us apart." Henry squeezed her hands tightly, leaning in so their foreheads were touching. "Hey... listen to me," Henry whispered, his voice unwavering and filled with fierce conviction. "Nothing is ever going to keep us apart again. You are my priority, Clara. My wife.

Chapter: CHAPTER 905Henry’s eyes dropped to the middle paragraph, and his heart nearly skipped a beat. Because of the complete collapse of high-level security during the syndicate war, the Federal Board had decided to restructure the entire law enforcement command hierarchy. They weren't just giving him his badge back as Superintendent. The document explicitly stated that Henry was being promoted directly to Commander. It was a rank unheard of for someone his age. He would hold absolute authority over an entire division, complete with a presidential seat on the National Security Board. "General..." Henry breathed out, a wide, unstoppable grin breaking across his face. "Commander, this is... this is incredible! This is the best gift I could have ever asked for!" "You earned it, kid," Vance said softly, clinking his glass against Henry's. "Nobody deserves it more than you." Henry felt a surge of pure, unadulterated joy. For years, he had been hunted, beaten, framed, and called a dirty cop. Now,

We've faced corrupt cops, syndicate lords, and endless obstacles that tried to tear us apart. But through every second of it, my heart has belonged to you. I am tired of living without you. I am tired of being separated. Clara Lancaster... will you marry me?"Clara’s hands flew to her mouth. Tears of joy instantly spilled over her lashes. "Yes!" she sobbed out, smiling brighter than the stars. "Yes, Henry! Of course!"Henry let out a breathless laugh, sliding the diamond ring onto her finger. He stood up, wrapped his strong arms around her waist, and lifted her completely off her feet, spinning her around in the air. As her feet touched the ground, Henry pulled her close and kissed her deeply, pouring all his love into her lips.The entire restaurant erupted into thunderous applause, guests standing up to cheer for the radiant couple.Later that night, Clara practically floated i

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.

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,

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?"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
