Chapter 791
“Fabian took a punch from me, so he must have been half-dead already,” Lance bragged, puffing himself up.“If I hadn’t rocked him first, Jaden Rift wouldn’t have been able to take him down at all.”Morganna almost snorted. She watched her cousin with a flat stare. The truth was simple. Even injured, Fabian snapped Lance’s wrist like a twig and hurled him across the room. No way in hell was Fabian anywhere near “half-dead.”But the Freeman couple ate Lance’s story like gospel.Their eyes bulged.“I knew it. That punk just got lucky!”“You’re the one who hurt Fabian! That Jaden guy just stole your moment!”“That’s your victory he took!”Their loud certainty fed Lance’s ego until it was overflowing. His jaw tightened. His face flushed.“I won’t let him get away with it,” Lance growled. “I’ll expose him for the fraud he is and win Selena over for real.”Morganna sighed and finally stepped in.“Jaden is way stronger than you think. None of that was coincidence. You’re talented, Lance, but

Jaden stepped out of the doorway like he was taking a stroll, not walking into a pack of angry men. Lance, Phil and a whole crew of pumped-up idiots waited in the hallway, shoulders squared, eyes full of violence. The kind of guys who thought numbers made them dangerous.Jaden paused for a breath, then gave them a lazy smile. “What is this, a welcome committee? If you came to thank me for saving your asses, save it. I’m not interested.”Lance’s jaw flexed hard. He pointed at Jaden like he was trying to stab him with his finger. “You only beat that guy because I softened him up first. I need to prove myself to Ms. Verrick.”Jaden lifted an eyebrow. “Do you want a medal or a cookie?”Phil stepped forward before Lance’s brain overheated. He had the kind of confidence that came from benching more weight than he could think through. “I’m Phil Jones, Lance’s good friend. I’m an all-rounded fighter just like he is. We’re here to reclaim his glory.”Jaden blinked. “Huh?”Phil puffed out his c

They thought they had Jaden cornered. They thought numbers would do the talking. They thought a little noise and a big guy throwing his weight around would break him. They had no idea who they were dealing with.The heavy hitter stepped up like a bull charging down a narrow alley. He threw his kick with everything he had, hips turning, shoulders snapping forward. It was a strike meant to knock a man off his feet and leave him coughing blood on the floor. The hallway shook with the force he put behind it.Jaden wasn’t there.He moved with the kind of speed that looked casual at first and terrifying once the mind caught up. One second he was in the path of the kick. The next second he had slid out of it like his body was smoke. Before the big man even understood he had missed, Jaden struck back.His counter was clean. Direct. Efficient.His foot slammed into the man’s midsection with a sound that punched through the hallway.Bam.The giant’s body lifted off the ground. His lungs emptied

Phil expected Jaden to panic. He expected fear. Maybe begging. Something that proved he had the upper hand.Instead, Jaden’s tone was flat. Almost bored. “I’ll do the calling around here.”He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone and dialed without breaking eye contact with Phil.The call connected instantly.“Kaelus,” Jaden said. “I want Zed Walker, Xander Jones, and Franklin Wilson at my house in ten minutes.”Then he ended the call like he had just ordered takeout.The yard went silent for half a heartbeat.Then Phil and his crew exploded into laughter. The kind of laughter that came from pure disbelief and stupidity working hand in hand. Lance bent forward holding his stomach. Tears leaked down his face like his brain couldn’t handle how absurd he thought the situation was.Lance wheezed, “Phil, he is insane. He actually pretended to call somebody. Listen to that. He ordered your uncle, Colonel Jones, and Major-General Franklin Wilson to show up in ten minutes.”Phil shook

Jaden snorted, the sound low and dismissive. “You call yourself a king among soldiers. That is all you are. A small title with a small ceiling. And you already walk around like the world owes you its knees. If you ever got promoted, you’d probably choke on your own ego.” He lifted his chin. “Fine. Bring it. I will teach you a lesson on Franklin’s behalf.”The corner of Phil’s mouth curled upward. “All bark and no bite. Let’s see if you can live up to your big talk.”He didn’t wait for a reply.Phil lunged forward with the speed of someone who spent years fighting on command. His body snapped forward like a spring set loose, and he drove a heavy punch straight toward Jaden’s chest. The strike held the weight of a soldier used to ending fights fast.Jaden stepped back. Clean. Unhurried. The punch sliced through empty air.Phil’s eyes flashed. He pivoted sharply, lifting his leg in a fast, vicious arc aimed at Jaden’s head. The whip of the kick cracked through the yard like a branch snap

Just then, a wave of engines tore through the street. Headlights cut across the yard as a full convoy slammed to a stop. Police cruisers. Military jeeps. Doors flew open and boots hit pavement in unison.Franklin Wilson, Xander Jones, and Zed Walker had arrived.Phil’s spine stiffened like he’d just seen salvation fall out of the sky. He staggered forward, half‑limping, half‑dragged by adrenaline. His face was a swollen, lopsided mess, yet he still forced out a pitiful cry for help.“Major‑General Wilson, Dad, Uncle… this bastard, Jaden Rift… he killed someone. He injured Captain Freeman and me. You have to stand up for us!”He sounded like a child running to complain after picking a fight he couldn’t win.The words barely left his mouth before Xander Jones’ expression twisted. His jaw clenched, eyes burning with something far more violent than anger.Xander lifted his hand and cracked a slap across Phil’s face that echoed through the entire yard.Smack.Phil’s head whipped sideways.

Franklin stepped in first, gripping Xander’s wrist before the belt could come down again. His voice was calm but carried the weight of an order. “Jones, the General already told you to stand down.”Zed followed immediately, tone tight. “Xander, you should be thanking the General for showing mercy. He didn’t have to.”That snapped Xander out of his rage. His eyes cleared and horror flooded in when he realized just how far he’d gone. He hauled Phil up by his collar, the kid hanging limp and half‑dead.“Apologize to the General. Now.” Xander roared. “If he doesn’t forgive you, I swear I’ll finish the job myself.”Phil couldn’t even stand on his own. Xander forced him forward, then dropped to his own knees before Jaden, voice raw, shaking with fear and regret.“General… I was blind. I didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me. I was a fool.”By then, Franklin, Zed, and the other officers had already formed a respectful line beside Jaden. Their attention shifted toward Lance, who looked like

He didn’t even make it three steps inside before his whole family surrounded him like an ambush. Selena was in front of him first, eyes wide, voice tight with panic. “Jaden, we saw everything from the window. You hit Phil so hard he spun. Then the police and military showed up. What did they want with you? What did they say? Did they threaten you?” She was almost wanting him to answer all the questions at the same time. Jaden slipped off his shoes, calm as ever. “Relax. Those weren’t random officers. They were the top brass. Exactly the kind of people you want handling matters like this. They were strict, fair, and they put Phil and Lance in their place. They apologized to me and left. That’s all.” He smiled. Selena let out a breath like she’d been underwater. “Good. I thought they were going to pull something or gang up on you.” Vane clapped Jaden’s shoulder, relieved. Nora nodded hard. “Thank God they were men with a spine. At least they know right from wrong.” Behind them,

Chuckling, Aladin leaned back in his chair, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “Have you completely forgotten about the young man who has been trying so hard to court our Morganna? Mr. Shaggy, remember him?”Felicia’s eyes lit up instantly. “Mr. Shaggy? You mean Shaggy Sultan? The heir to the Sultan family of the Southern Four? That Shaggy?”“That’s him,” Aladin said, a slow grin spreading across his face. “He’s always been fond of our Morganna. Polite, respectful, never stepped out of line. If we ask him for help with Rift… well, I’m sure he wouldn’t hesitate for a second.”Felicia leaned forward, her mind already spinning with possibilities. “You’re right. If anyone can help us deal with Jaden Rift without revealing our involvement, it would be him. This is perfect timing.”Aladin nodded, decisive. “Let’s call him immediately. The sooner, the better. We can frame this as just a casual favor, something small. He’ll bite, I’m sure of it.”Shaggy Sultan answered after only a few rings. E

At the noise spilling into the hallway, Jaden and the others stepped out of the private room.He moved without hesitation and planted himself in front of Selena, shielding her. One look at the scene told him everything he needed to know.His voice dropped cold. “Someone explain. Now.”The man in the floral shirt jabbed a finger at his half-drunk cousin. “I’m the boss here. Daniel. Your woman hit my cousin.”Selena fired back before Jaden even reacted. “He tried to touch me. He was being disgusting.”Daniel gave her a slow, mocking look, like she was wasting his time. “I didn’t see any of that. All I saw was you slapping him. So you are going to apologize and pay one hundred thousand for medical fees. If you don’t, I will strip you right here and show you what offensive actually means.”Jaden’s eyes narrowed into something sharp enough to cut.“A whole pack of you going after one woman. You think that makes you tough.”Daniel’s expression shifted. A colder edge slid in. He stepped clos
