At that moment Raymond stood still, hands behind his back, his expression calm as ever. The streetlight above cast a faint glow across the narrow alley, catching the faint tremble in the Yellow-Rank martial artist's fingers.“Enough with the nonsense,” Raymond said, his voice as sharp as a blade’s edge. “If you came to fight, then fight. If not, leave. But don’t waste my time with empty threats.”Upon hearing what Raymond just said the Yellow-Rank fighter’s lips curled into a sneer. “You don’t understand who you’re dealing with. I’m from the Golden Saber Martial Association. I’m a Yellow-Rank—”Immediately Raymond raised a hand, signaling silence. “Then come at me and stop talking nonsense.”Feeling Insulted, the fighter’s eyes turned bloodshot. With a furious roar, he lunged forward, moving faster than the eye could follow, his fist glowing with inner strength. Immediately his subordinates followed, surrounding Raymond like a pack of wolves.But Raymond didn’t even flinch.In the bl

However, as Dahlia sat there deep in thought, trying to piece together a plan that might keep Raymond safe, her mother’s sharp voice cut through her silence.“You’re unbelievable,” she snapped. “After everything that man has put you through, you're still trying to protect him?”Immediately her sister chimed in with equal disdain. “Seriously, Dahlia. You’re acting like this is your fault. It’s not. If Raymond got himself into trouble, that’s on him—not you.”At that moment Dahlia looked up slowly, her eyes clouded with disappointment.“But he helped me.” she said quietly. “You two just don't understand.”Her mother scoffed. “Understand? Oh, we understand perfectly. You're letting guilt make you foolish. Jefferson’s family doesn’t play games. If they find out he’s involved, he’ll be erased, Either way, you’re not responsible for what happens to him.”Her sister nodded in agreement. “Exactly. You’re not his wife anymore. You owe him nothing.”But their cold words only made Dahlia feel mo

Dahlia’s mother and younger sister stood in uneasy silence, the tension between them thick and suffocating. Though Caleb’s terrified reaction had unsettled them both, they found it difficult to believe that Raymond a man they once called useless could possibly have anything to do with the sudden disappearance of two dangerous men like Jefferson and Kelly.“There's no way,” Dahlia’s mother muttered under her breath as if trying to convince herself. “That man can barely hold himself against weakling, let alone take down people like Jefferson and Kelly.”Dahlia’s sister nodded quickly, though her expression was far from convinced. “Exactly. He’s just putting on a show to scare people. I mean, come on Jefferson was a nightmare to deal with.? and I heard his uncle Kelly make people trembling with just a look.”But the nagging thought wouldn't leave them. The pieces weren’t fitting together the way they used to. If Raymond truly was powerless, why had Caleb, who had once strutted around li

Upon hearing what Dahlia had just said over the phone, her mother stood frozen on the pavement, staring at the screen in disbelief. Her lips trembled with anger. Dahlia the daughter she raised, the girl who used to follow her every command had just defended Raymond. That same Raymond they had mocked, dismissed, and thrown out like garbage.“Unbelievable,” she whispered, her voice cracking.Dahlia’s sister was equally stunned. “Did she just did she just hang up on you?” she asked, her eyes wide in disbelief.“She did,” her mother confirmed, her voice now rising with fury. “She actually chose to support that trash instead of her own family!”“She didn’t even ask what happened to us,” her sister added, her face red with both embarrassment and frustration. “We were kicked out like criminals and she doesn’t even care!”“Ungrateful child!” Dahlia’s mother snapped. “After everything I’ve done for her… And now she has the nerve to think Raymond is worth more than her own mother?”Fury burned

The moment the store clerks confirmed that Dahlia’s mother no longer held an active VIP membership, their attitudes underwent an astonishing shift. Just minutes ago, they had practically tripped over themselves in eagerness to serve her, but now, the glimmer in their eyes was gone replaced by thin-lipped professionalism and cold indifference.One of them even rolled their eyes discreetly as they moved Dahlia’s shopping bags off the checkout counter without a word. Another whispered to a colleague and chuckled.Dahlia’s mother noticed the sudden chill in the air. Her chest rose and fell with rising embarrassment. But pride wouldn’t let her retreat so easily.At that moment she forced her lips into a tight, self-important smile and raised her chin. “This is all just a simple misunderstanding,” she said, voice brittle but loud. “Mr.Zachary will clear it up once I speak to him personally. That card he handed it to us himself. He must have had his reasons for this temporary mix-up.”Hearin

At that moment, Dahlia’s sister shifted uneasily beside her mother, eyes darting nervously between the towering stacks of luxury items and the store clerks who were already preparing to take the order. With a tight, forced smile, she leaned in closer and said in a hushed voice, “Mom… maybe we should return a few of these. You bought too much.”Her mother, still basking in the admiration of the staff and the glares of the couple she had humiliated earlier, turned to her with visible confusion and a touch of annoyance.“Return what?” she snapped, raising her eyebrows. “We’ve got the VIP discount, don’t we? Do you know how much I’m saving with that card? This is the best time to stock up!”“But—” Dahlia’s sister started, but her words tangled in her throat.Seeing her daughter hesitate, Dahlia’s mother frowned. “What’s with you today? You’re acting weird. Just hand me the card and let’s finish this up.”At that moment Dahlia sister knew she wouldn't be able to keep it away from her mothe

At that moment, the five generals immediately lowered their heads in unison, their faces solemn with burning resolve. “We understand, Master,” the one at the front said coldly, his voice sharp like steel cutting through silence. “We will not disappoint you. That man’s head or his living body will be laid before you. This, we swear.”Their unified voice echoed through the cracked stone chamber, vibrating against the broken wall still bearing the scar of the Head’s rage. Without another word or glance, they turned sharply and walked out, each one releasing a faint ripple of power that seemed to distort the air around them. Their exit was swift, like shadows melting into the wind, and the entire room fell into a cold, tense silence. The storm had been released.**The next morning came with a heavy sky and a quiet breeze. In a small estate far from the chaos building in the shadows, Jessica and her mother were seated just outside their home under a wooden veranda. The sun was out, but t

At that moment, silence wrapped around the room like a noose.No one moved, no one even blinked.The Circle—the most feared group of leaders known to the shadows sat frozen in disbelief. Each one knew exactly what Elvis was capable of. He wasn’t just a soldier. He was a weapon. A monster born from their own twisted design. And not just one, but two forbidden potions had been used by him. Potions that could bend the laws of strength, rage, and resistance. Potions so rare, entire wars had been fought over a single vial then.And yet…He was now lying in a military cell, unconscious. Defeated, disgraced.Not one of them could wrap their mind around it.Their strongest pawn had fallen.At that moment the Head of the Circle slowly turned, eyes dark, jaw clenched with fury. He rose again, his long black robe sweeping the cold floor beneath him. Then his voice cut through the tension like a blade.“You all felt it, didn’t you?” he said, pointing his finger in a slow arc across the room. “The

There was a brief silence before he added, “I just hope you’re not mad at me. I hope you’re not angry I went this far.”For a moment, Victoria didn’t say a word. Then, slowly, a dark smile crept across her lips, and soft laughter escaped her lips low, amused, dangerous.“Mad at you?” she repeated with a scoff. “Why would I be mad at you for doing what I’ve been dreaming about since the day that bastard humiliated us?”She stood up, walking toward the window, her eyes burning with resolve. “I want him gone. I want him destroyed. I want him to choke on the very pride he walks around with. So no, dear brother I’m not mad. I’m proud. This is what I wanted. You’ve given me exactly what I needed.”Her laughter grew a little louder.“You think I’d lose sleep over someone like Damien? I want him to suffer. I want him to lose everything. He should have known better than to go against us.”She paused, eyes narrowing slightly as her voice dropped to a whisper.“This time, we won’t back down. We

At that moment, Serenity stood motionless. Her lips quivered slightly, like she wanted to speak wanted to say something but no sound came out. Her heart was pounding, her hands clenched at her sides. All she could do was watch Damien walk away, his back calm and upright, his steps steady, as if nothing in the world bothered him.But it bothered her, everything about him now did.The way he handled Elvis like it was nothing. The way even the Brain and all those terrifying high-ranking military officers didn’t dare question him, didn’t even speak to him just walked past as though he were a god among men. The way he saved her life, yet asked for nothing, not a favor, not a thank you. Nothing.That kind of power… That kind of composure…It haunted her.And then, breaking the silence, Master George let out a slow, deep breath almost as if he had been holding it in for a long time.He turned to Serenity and looked at her long and hard, disappointment clearly written all over his weathered fa

At that moment, the Brain, without hesitating, issued a direct order to his subordinates. His voice was sharp and commanding, cutting through the stillness of the room. “Seize Evis' body,” he said. “We need it for further examination. No questions asked.” The words were firm, final, and left no room for debate.Without wasting anymore time the officers immediately moved into action, executing their orders with military precision. They didn’t stop to question or linger; they simply did as commanded, lifting Evis’ lifeless body with cold efficiency. Serenity watched in stunned silence as they whisked him away. It felt surreal, as if the entire room had been stripped of warmth, leaving only a chilling atmosphere of uncertainty.At that moment Serenity’s mind raced. Why had they acted so swiftly? Why had the Brain, usually so deliberate in his approach, seemed so distant, almost indifferent to what had just transpired? It wasn’t just the speed with which they had moved that disturbed her

At that moment, the brain and the rest of the war kings, along with the higher-ranking military officers who were even more powerful than the war kings began walking toward the body on the floor. They said nothing to Damien as they walked past him, their expressions neutral and unreadable. Their focus was on the task at hand, which was to assess the situation and take control.As they approached Evis, the most powerful of the officers, immediately stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Evis lying on the ground. His body, normally filled with immense power, now lay defeated, and there was no sign of life in him.At that moment the rest war king's shock was evident as he slowly knelt beside Evis, inspecting his body.From what he could sense, something was not right. The aura around Evis was strange more powerful than anything he had ever encountered. The power that Evis had accumulated was greater than that of a war king, and to his astonishment, it seemed tha

CHAPTER 544THE VERDICT 'You're under arrest, Mr Richard. Let me see your hands,' the chief of police demanded, his voice loud and stern.The senator knew at that point that there was no way to escape. He had been exposed, and the only thing left to do was to accept his fate.He raised his hands and was handcuffed while the other police officers pushed him further along.'You can't do this, please! There must be another way,' Jessica managed to say, though she wasn't sure what she was saying.The evidence was everywhere and she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this one.Her husband was in trouble, and if she wasn't careful, she was going to get caught up in it too.By the time they came out of the house, everyone in the estate had gathered to witness the commotion. They stood with shocked expressions on their faces.The senator, who had just expressed his desire to become governor, was now handcuffed and being taken away by the police.It was a completely new experience for everyon

CHAPTER 543SHAMEJudge West was ashamed when he looked at his son.He had never been so angry about anything in his life. He was so furious that he felt like murdering someone to quell his anger.He was sitting in his house, about to finalise a deal, when the authorities burst in and began arresting everyone.This had never happened before, and it didn't take long to realise that it was his foolish son who had done it, exposing him to forces too big to tear down.'Father, what's going on, and why are you handcuffed like a criminal?' Andrew asked, his eyes filled with confusion.He had thought that, once he got to the police station, he would just call his father and everything would be settled. But what he was witnessing was a big shock that he couldn't explain.What was he going to do without his father, who had always been a pillar of support and shed light on his path?The road ahead seemed slippery and dark, and for the first time, he was scared of what the future might hold."Fa

CHAPTER 542DEFEATED "Suit yourself, but you're done for, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try everything you know, but it won't work," Jeremy said confidently to Andrew. He made sure that he left no stone unturned.Everything that had happened had made Jeremy exasperated and he was ready to get justice.He had worked too hard to allow Andrew to be released so easily. He wasn't going to allow it. He was going to make the man suffer for everything he had put him through."You don't know what you're doing. If you did, you would stop now. I come from one of the most powerful families in New York, and you will not walk free from what you have done." Andrew muttered angrily to Jeremy.He couldn't believe that his control over those powerful men had been reduced to nothing. He was handcuffed like a common criminal; his father would be so disappointed to see him like this. This was a big disgrace to a man of his standing.He needed to think of an escape plan. He could not al

CHAPTER 541APPREHENDED Jeremy came outside and looked at the boss. They maintained eye contact for a while before Jeremy spoke with realisation "I actually knew that you were part of the circle, but I wanted to be sure before making any moves. Now it has come to light," Jeremy muttered with a smirk.He had his doubts, but after some research and conversations, he discovered that he was on the right track.Andrew,his father's butler had been the circus master all along while he was acting as though he had his back and wanted the best for him."After I spoke to you, you said something in that direction, but you quickly diverted it. I knew that something was wrong. I paid more attention whenever we spoke, but I didn't want to take drastic steps without solid evidence, because i knew that men like you could easily escape the law and i didn't want to take any chances. Now that we have proof, you will go down," Jeremy added. He was disgusted by Andrew.He was even surprised himself to se

CHAPTER 540FOLLOW THE TRAILS The circus boss started laughing to himself; he couldn't believe he had missed it. The answer he had been craving had been right in front of him the whole time, but he just hadn't noticed.For him, this was the connection he had been searching for, and there was no way he wasn't going to get what he wanted.The owner of the school, Mr Philip, must have known something, or rather, received the support he needed, which was why he thought he could challenge him.Although he was angry with the senator for his mistake, there was no reason why Mr Philip couldn't be involved.The situation was complex, but all he wanted to do was unravel the connection and iron out the kinks.He took out his phone and dialled a number; his patience was wearing thin and he just wanted to do something quickly.'Hello boss, at your service,' a man at the other end quickly answered, his voice filled with humility and loyalty.'Do you know Mr Philip's house? He's the owner of the bi

CHAPTER 539NEW DISCOVERY "What have I done? The Senator asked in awe, his mouth open in anger.It wasn't what he had expected Mr Raymond to say and the word alone had left him distraught."Don't you dare point the finger at me Raymond, I wasn't the one who was greedy and wanted twenty percent of someone else's profits. It was your selfishness and greed that brought us to where we are now". The Senator condemned, his tone firm with accusation.He wasn't going to accept Raymond's words and how he wanted to paint him as the bad guy. He had seen the signs and he wouldn't accept it."Greed, you say? You don't have the right to call me greedy. You wanted the governorship and you didn't care who you hurt as long as you got it. You're practically the reason we're in this mess," Mr Raymond fired back at the Senator.He was furious that the Senator was trying to use his involvement with Mr Philip to pin the blame on him.The indulgence of Mr Philip couldn't be the reason why things were going
