Julie sat in class beside her best friend, Selena, flipping through the final pages of her notebook when Selena leaned in, her voice hushed and shaky.“Julie, I heard something… Fatima’s planning to jump you after school.”Julie raised an eyebrow, turning to her. “Jump me?”“Yes. I overheard her in the bathroom. She’s gathering some boys from Class C. Thugs. And her cousin… he’s waiting outside the school gate. That guy’s scary, Julie. I think he’s a real gangster.”Julie leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and exhaled slowly. “So she finally wants to test me, huh?”Selena looked horrified. “Julie, this isn’t a joke. Fatima’s psycho. And her cousin? He once sent a student to the hospital for talking back. I’m scared something will happen to you.”Julie turned her head slowly to face Selena. “Let her try. I’ve stayed quiet too long. If she lays a hand on me today... that’ll be the last hand she ever uses.”Selena blinked. “Julie…”Julie stood as the bell rang. “If she wants war

"Cut that crap, I don't need your stupid apology. Where's the girl?" Norman snapped, grabbing Fatima by the collar and yanking her forward. His voice trembled, not from weakness, but from pure rage mixed with fear. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead."If something happens to Julie, me and Bob are dead men walking. You don’t understand who her brother is!"Fatima’s face paled as she stammered, "I-It was my cousin, Robert! I swear, I didn’t know he’d go that far! He took her... I don’t know where but please—I’m not the one you're looking for!" She fell to her knees, shaking uncontrollably, her hands clasped in a desperate plea.Bob’s jaw clenched as he growled, "Robert...? That son of a bitch. I’ll rip his spine out myself!"Norman turned to Bob, stunned. "Wait—you know this guy?"Bob nodded sharply. "Yeah. He’s one of mine. One of the street rats under my payroll."Norman’s eyes widened in disbelief. "One of your men!? I thought you sent the message out—to everyone—not to lay a

The Black Dragon group's members are said to be mysterious people not showing faces in ordinary places. They are only active when an important global matters need to be discussed and wherever they appear there's always a blood bath. No one can recognize these men except for this piece of clothing.Mr. Gabriel’s legs nearly gave out when he saw it. That symbol.“Wh-What the hell… how can a member of the Black Dragon Group be here?” he stammered, his face pale.The guard beside him clearly didn’t get it. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Mr. Gabriel said? Get down from your damn car and kowtow to him now!”Crack!Gabriel swung fast, knocking the guard flat with a punch to the jaw.“You idiot!” he barked. “Keep your mouth shut! You don’t even know who you’re talking to!” Gabriel dropped to his knees and slammed his forehead to the ground. “Forgive me, Master. I didn’t recognize you…”The car door opened.Jaden stepped out. Clean. Calm. Controlled. His steps were quiet, but the pressure

“What’s up, Baron? We got the girls. Send the money.”Rafael leaned back in his seat, cigar smoke curling around his tattooed face as he gave a wicked grin.Baron trembled, sweat soaking through his collar. The phone was on loudspeaker, and everyone in the room could hear it. Jaden stood silently beside him, eyes fixed on the phone like a predator waiting to strike.“Abort the mission,” Baron stammered, voice shaky. “Release the girls immediately and I’ll still pay your money.”There was a pause on the other end.“What?” Rafael raised a brow. He took the cigar from his lips, blowing out a thick stream of smoke. “Did you hit your head or drink bleach? Say that again.”“I said release the girls, you idiot! Just do it!” Baron barked, his voice cracking from panic.A slow, angry chuckle crawled through the speaker.“You spoiled, soft-ass brat. You think I’m your delivery boy? You send me on a mission, then call it off like I’m some cheap errand boy?” Rafael’s tone dropped. “If you want ‘e

Robert licked his lips as he approached Julie, his grin spreading like a stain across his greasy face. He flexed his fingers eagerly, already imagining the humiliation he was about to inflict.Julie backed away, trembling, her voice cracking as she cried out, “Please… please don’t do this…”Robert reached for her—BOOOOM!The metal door exploded off its hinges in a thunderous blast, the force shaking the room. Shards of the steel door scattered like shrapnel, embedding into the walls and floor. A thick cloud of dust poured in, cloaking the entrance in gray."What the fuck was that?!" one of the guards barked, raising his rifle."Eyes up!" another shouted. All weapons snapped to aim.Everyone held their breath.As the dust cleared, a silhouette emerged—broad shoulders, clenched fists, death in his eyes.Jaden stepped forward, his face unreadable… but the fury in his gaze could’ve melted iron.Julie gasped, her hands still bound, face stained with tears. “Big brother!” she screamed in r
