Chapter: CAN YOU HEAR ME?"Doctor, his temperature is still rising. Should we move him to the intensive care unit?"Dr. Michael Carter glanced at the monitor beside the hospital bed before checking the patient's chart. The man had been brought to the emergency department less than twenty minutes ago, and his condition had already become difficult to manage."His temperature is above forty degrees, and his heart rate is unusually high. We need to find out what's causing this before moving him anywhere. Have the blood samples been sent to the laboratory?""Yes, Doctor. We're waiting for the results."Michael examined the patient again. The man appeared to be in his early thirties, with unkempt hair and several dark marks around his neck. His clothes were dirty, and there were scratches on both his arms. According to the paramedics, he had been found lying near a bus station.Initially, they had assumed he was unconscious because of excessive drinking or drug use. However, he had become aggressive inside the ambu

Chapter: THEY'RE CELEBRATING TOO EARLY"New owner?" Selene repeated, staring at the previous owner as if she had misheard him.The older man nodded with a confident face without any confusion like the people before him. "Yes, Mr. Lancaster and Ms. Harrison have purchased the entire shopping mall. The agreement has been signed, and the remaining formalities are being completed."George glanced at Xavier before turning towards Daisy. "You must be joking. Are you telling me that you two actually bought this entire mall?""Is there something difficult to understand?" Daisy asked with a faint smile. "We were interested in the property, so we purchased it."Selene struggled to hide her disbelief. She had known Daisy was wealthy, but she hadn't expected her to make such a massive investment with Xavier."That's quite an expensive purchase. I didn't know you were interested in running shopping malls, Xavier," Selene remarked. "Or did you simply convince Daisy to spend her money on your behalf? So that you can show off to the world

Chapter: NEW OWNER?"Are you sure you want to purchase the entire shopping mall?" Daisy asked as she glanced through the documents on the table.Xavier sat across from her, reviewing the final figures before signing the agreement. "Didn't we already discuss this? I wouldn't have come here if I wasn't interested."Daisy gave a small smile. "I know you're interested. I'm just making sure you understand how much we're investing. The mall has several vacant stores, maintenance expenses are high, and the previous owner has been struggling to keep it profitable. It's not exactly a small investment.""That's precisely why we're getting it at a reasonable price, to be honest at a low price," Xavier replied with a smirk. "The location is good, the building is large, and the facilities are worth more than what the current business is generating. We don't need to make a profit from it immediately."Kate, who was standing beside Xavier, checked the remaining documents. "Boss, the legal team has already reviewed the

Chapter: DID WE GET ROBBED?“An empty basement may prove that you have nothing to hide inside this house, but it doesn't prove that you're innocent of everything, brother Xavier.”George's voice interrupted the conversation between Xavier and the senior officer.The officer turned towards him with visible irritation.“Mr. George, you can't just make accusations like that without providing evidence.”“I'm not making accusations without reason,” George responded, trying to maintain his composure. “You have inspected the house, and I understand that you haven't found anything. However, what about his activities outside this property? What about his meetings with black-market executives and the large quantities of goods he has been purchasing through them?”Xavier had expected this.He knew George wouldn't remain quiet after seeing the empty basement. There was a reason he had been so eager to bring the officers here, and he wouldn't leave without trying another approach.Xavier glanced at the senior officer and rai

Chapter: I APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY“Mr. Lancaster, please open this door.”Xavier glanced at the officer standing in front of the basement entrance before turning his attention to Selene and George.Both of them had faint smiles on their faces.Selene seemed particularly pleased with how things were unfolding. She had been waiting for this moment since they arrived, convinced that the officers would finally discover something Xavier couldn't explain.George, on the other hand, was enjoying the situation far more than he showed.‘Let's see how you get out of this one, Xavier.’He had spent enough time watching Xavier's movements to know that the man had been making unusual purchases. There were reports of supplies, equipment, and weapons being moved around through different channels. Even if the officers hadn't found anything upstairs, the basement was another matter.‘You can't hide everything forever. Once they find what you've been collecting, your money and influence won't be enough to save you.’George almost laugh

Chapter: PLEASE OPEN THIS DOOR“Brother Xavier, why are you speaking like that?” George appeared momentarily uncomfortable, but he quickly recovered his composure.“I'm only trying to help you. Everyone knows you've been acting strangely since leaving Horizon, especially after your divorce with sister Selene, and these allegations aren't going to disappear simply because you refuse to acknowledge them.”“Then let the officers explain the allegations themselves.” Xavier suggested with a calm face as if he has nothing to hide from people. “I would rather hear the facts from people who have come here to investigate than listen to your assumptions.”The senior officer stepped forward, holding the documents he had brought with him.“Mr. Lancaster, we've received reports that you're attempting to monopolize essential goods and have illegal weapons stored on your property. We're here to determine whether these allegations are accurate. Do you have anything you'd like to tell us before we begin the inspection?”Xavier mai

On the screen was a photograph of Ethan, taken at a recent business event.The older man sitting behind the desk picked up the tablet, examining the photograph without much interest at first. He had received several reports that morning, most of which concerned business opportunities and potential partnerships. However, this particular report contained a name he hadn't expected to encounter again.“Where did you get this?”“Our people have been monitoring several influential individuals whose businesses have expanded considerably over the past few years. His name came up during one of our investigations based on the way you described the person you're looking for. He's known in certain circles as the Shadow Tyrant.”The man studied the photograph again.

He had been waiting for a detailed update ever since Orion informed him about Charlie's suspicious activities.Orion placed a folder on the desk. “I've managed to establish several connections between Charlie and the intermediaries involved in the shipment. He has met at least two of them recently, and their communication has increased over the past few days.”“Do we know what they discussed?”“Not yet, Chief. However, it looks like General Hawke is right, there are a lot of things going on beyond our understanding here, their recent activities suggest that Charlie is trying to become more involved in their operation rather than simply helping them arrange transactions.” Ethan opened the folder and examined the reports. “What else?”“Charlie has also been making inquiries about the Carvendish family.

It was her first major business meeting since officially taking charge of the Caspian family, and she had already noticed that not everyone was comfortable with the change.“The proposal is straightforward. We have been spending too much on maintaining several unprofitable divisions. I intend to restructure them rather than continue using company resources to keep them running.”One of the senior executives leaned forward. “With all due respect, Miss Caspian, those divisions have been part of this family's business for years.

The Lost Heir Of Sargent
"No one cares whether I live or die," Christian thought as he felt himself losing consciousness, his body weak and broken after being abused to the brink of death by his own father.
When he woke, however, he found himself surrounded by a group of unfamiliar faces. These strangers, claiming to be his mother's relatives, looked at him with a mix of fury and compassion, grandfather, uncles, and aunts, people he never knew existed, stood before him.
"Who dared to hurt the heir of the Sargent family?" His uncles roared, their voices trembling with rage.
"The one who dares to lay a finger on my precious grandson will meet their end!" His grandfather declared with cold determination.
"Here, Christian," one of his aunts smiled, handing him a sparkling black card. "This is your diamond card, one of a kind. It’s all yours, you could even buy a country with it if that’s what you want."
They treated him like the most precious treasure in the world.
The once-abandoned and ridiculed son of the Adam's family turned out to be the long-lost heir of the prestigious Sargent family.
The same Adam family that had humiliated and tormented him was brought to their knees. Broken and desperate, they begged for his forgiveness.
"Christian, we’re sorry," they pleaded. "Please, have mercy on us! After all, we’re still family!"
A tale of vengeance and redemption. The Rise of Christian Sargent chronicles, a journey of an abandoned son reclaiming his identity and power as a true heir of Sargent family. As Christian unravels the mysteries of his bloodline, he forges unexpected connections, faces his enemies, and discovers the truth behind his mother’s legacy in this magical and exhilarating saga.

The sterile scent of the hospital faded into the background as every thought narrowed to a single person waiting beyond those doors.The doctor stopped outside one of the delivery rooms. "You can go in now, Mr. Sargent."Christian nodded gratefully before pushing the door open, the room was quiet, soft afternoon sunlight slipped through the curtains, bathing everything in a warm glow.Aurora rested against the raised hospital bed, exhaustion evident in every breath she drew, yet her smile outshone every light in the room.When their eyes met, the tension that had gripped Christian's heart finally loosened."I made it," Aurora murmured."I always believed in you, you've always been strong.” She reached toward him.

"Aurora, are you all right? Is everything okay?” She nodded, forcing out a soft laugh. "I will be... but I don't think breakfast is happening anymore."The dining room exploded into motion.Mary's calm voice rose above the commotion."Betty, bring the hospital bag from Aurora's room.

Sunlight poured through the open balcony doors, dancing across the polished wooden floor while a gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming roses from the gardens below.A year.An entire year had passed since the battle that changed everything.The Dark Mountains had long returned to silence, the forbidden gate remained sealed beneath layers of ancient magic, and the Veilborn existed only as a dark chapter recorded in history books.

Bryan pondered this question as it echoed in his mind, but as he opened his eyes to a new beginning, a fresh chance at life, he felt a surge of determination.

He carefully created a fake financial report detailing nonexistent transactions, ensuring it looked as authentic as possible.Once the file was complete, he placed it in a safe place where Nancy usually hides the things, so that they'll not suspect it as fake.As the file was hidden safely, he placed four tiny cameras to cover angles of the room, so that he can capture every movement in the office."Now this is perfect to trap a rat," Bryan smirked, and left the room immediately, he asked Nancy also not to go into the room for a whole day and lie about having work outside.He also went to college to complete his tasks there, after finishing all, by the end of the day, Bryan returned to the office and checked the original CCTV footage of Nancy's office, as he suspected the cameras didn't work.To make it more dramatic Bryan called for a few security staff wh

The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention.
