Kane Valon dragged the struggling Jason into Jarvis Grave’s office and shoved him forward so forcefully that he nearly stumbled to the floor.Jarvis looked up from his computer, his expression changing to one of surprise at the sight of his son being dragged in like a criminal.“What’s going on here?”Jason straightened his clothes and shot Kane an annoyed glare before rolling his eyes with a frustrated huff.Kane stepped forward and reported, “I found him in Scorchfield. He was alone.”Jarvis turned his attention to his son, his forehead creasing with disbelief.“And what the hell were you doing in a place that dangerous? You’ve already seen for yourself that the place is even stranger than it looks.”Jason walked toward his father’s desk, his expression growing serious.“Exactly why I’m curious, Dad. I wanted to find out more about it. Besides, Zane is dead, but he also has a brother. It’s possible their vendetta against our family isn’t over yet.”Jarvis leaned back in his chair, s

“Wh-what?” Ziana stammered, struggling to maintain her composure. “Sir, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”The moment the words left her mouth, she realized how foolish it was to deny everything. Ziana wasn’t someone who easily let her emotions show, but standing before Leon was proving more difficult than she had anticipated. Her nervousness was getting the better of her, and she was making mistakes without even realizing it.Leon chuckled at her response and shook his head.“See what I mean? You look down on me.” He tilted his head slightly, studying her. “Do you think Nyx is stronger than me?”Ziana looked at him but decided against answering. She had a feeling that anything she said would only make her situation worse, and she had already revealed more than she intended.Leon turned his gaze away, appearing thoughtful.“But then again, you people don’t actually know Nyx. Hell, from what I’ve seen, you don’t know me either.”He looked back at her, his expression turning

Jarvis Grave arrived at the Apex Throne Lounge in Echelon, where a man who appeared slightly older than him was waiting in a secluded corner. The man sat alone, his expression clouded with worry, and he barely seemed to notice the people moving around the lounge.After spotting him, Jarvis cleared his throat and walked over before taking the seat opposite him. A waiter immediately approached and stood beside their table, ready to take their orders without interrupting their conversation.The man waiting for Jarvis was Henry Balor, one of his close friends. Henry came from one of the ten most prominent families in Avenport, a wealthy household whose fortune ran into billions. As the head of the Balor family, he had spent years managing the family’s affairs and preparing for the next generation to take over.Yet, judging by the troubled expression on his face, wealth and influence were doing little to ease whatever burden he was carrying.“Thanks for coming to see me, Jarvis,” Henry sai

Back at Echelon, Jarvis shook his head, still struggling to process everything Henry Balor had told him. The situation felt strange the more he thought about it. Cian had been doing well abroad, and his return home was supposed to mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Yet, before he could even reach his family, he had been involved in an accident that left him behaving like an entirely different person.Something about the whole situation didn’t sit right with Jarvis, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.“I’m guessing you called me here because you believe I might be able to do something about this,” Jarvis said, turning his attention to Henry.Henry gave a low chuckle and nodded.“This Azrael you’re connected to… I honestly don’t doubt that he’s a miracle worker, especially considering your relationship with him. After all, he’s the one who saved your son.”Jarvis already knew where his friend was going with that statement. He remained silent, allowing Henry to

As Leon considered everything Sylvaris had told him, his phone suddenly began to ring. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Jarvis calling.With a quiet sigh, he answered. “Hello.”“Are you busy at the clinic right now?” Jarvis asked.Leon shook his head, even though Jarvis couldn’t see him. “Not at the moment.”He had a few patients he needed to attend to, but none of them required his immediate attention. He could spare some time if necessary.“I need to ask you about something over the phone,” Jarvis said before proceeding to explain Henry Balor’s situation, including the strange changes Cian had undergone after his accident.After listening to the entire explanation, Leon nodded thoughtfully. “I see. A mental case. Well, I’m sure I can do something about him.”“Oh,” Jarvis responded, his voice immediately sounding more relieved. “I never doubted that. But is this something you can handle now, or would you prefer to look into it another time?”Leon furrowed his brows as he
