Phineas let out a cold snort, his eyes half-lidded with disdain. “I already warned you. When I say something bad will happen, it never means a minor incident. If you continue the construction, more than one man will die.”His words landed like a hammer.The surrounding executives froze. Even the workers nearby instinctively quieted down. No one liked hearing the word die at a construction site.Selena’s face darkened instantly. Her patience snapped completely. “Bullshit!” she barked. “You’re spreading panic and disrupting our work. I can call the police right now and have you locked up for fraud.”Phineas showed no sign of panic. He simply adjusted his sleeves, his tone calm and detached. “I am a fortune teller. I see what others cannot. I have fulfilled my duty by warning you. Whether you believe me or not is your choice.”He took a step back, already losing interest. “If you ignore me and disaster strikes, that will have nothing to do with me.”Then his gaze shifted back to Selena.

Phineas chuckled softly, his expression relaxed and confident, as if everything unfolding was exactly as he had foreseen. “No need to be tense. Running into you today is fate itself. I’m only offering a word of advice.”Vane nodded repeatedly, the fear from the accident still lingering in his eyes. “Mr. Ponzi, we’ve seen your abilities with our own eyes. Please, help us.”Phineas studied them for a moment, then gave a slow nod. “Very well. Since fate has brought us together, I’ll give you another piece of advice.”He paused deliberately, letting the silence stretch. Then his gaze shifted to Selena, sharp and penetrating.“Ms. Verrick,” he said solemnly, “you must never marry a man with the surname Rift. If you do, his life will be cut short.”The words hit Selena like a slap.Her expression darkened instantly, and the last bit of patience she had snapped. “Enough,” she said coldly. “Are you deliberately trying to mess with me because you already know my husband’s surname is Rift?”Phi

Kaelus lowered his voice. “Why don’t I send our men to deal with Joseph and Phineas directly? One clean move and this ends.” He grinned.“No,” Jaden said calmly. “That’s too easy.”He paused, then continued in a flat, controlled tone. “Here’s what you’re going to do instead…”Jaden gave Kaelus several clear instructions, step by step. Kaelus listened in silence, his expression gradually turning sharp. The plan was brilliant.“I understand,” Kaelus replied. “I’ll handle it exactly as you said.”Jaden ended the call.The next day was Saturday.Jaden decided to take Selena and Mia to the amusement park, hoping the noise and laughter would help Selena clear her head.Selena barely slept the entire night. Phineas’ words kept replaying in her mind no matter how hard she tried to push them away. By morning, dark circles sat under her eyes, and her face looked drained.Jaden noticed everything.He said nothing, but his chest felt heavy seeing her like this.The amusement park was crowded with

What?Phineas froze on the spot, his brain clearly lagging behind the words that had just hit him.For a split second, the famous fortune teller who always spoke with confidence and mystery looked completely lost.Selena, on the other hand, could not hold it in anymore. She burst out laughing.It was genuinely funny.No one would have imagined that one day, Phineas Ponzi, the so-called master of astrology and numerology, would be cornered like this in public.This was no longer about fortune telling.This was a straight clash between two so-called “experts.”Selena leaned back against the bench, arms crossed, watching the scene with pure amusement. She was curious. Very curious.How was Phineas going to talk his way out of this?Phineas’ face darkened rapidly. His lips twitched as anger surged up. He glared at the priest like a threatened animal.“Who the hell are you?” he snapped. “You’re talking nonsense. If you don’t shut up right now, I’ll beat you up.”The priest showed no fear a

Phineas staggered back, clutching his swollen face as he stared at Jaden and Father Andrew in sheer terror.His lips trembled uncontrollably as he shouted, “You… you’re in this together!”Jaden did not bother denying it. He simply let out a cold, humorless laugh, the kind that made one’s spine chill.Father Andrew folded his hands calmly, his expression unchanged. “Are you angry, sir? I will say it once more. Something bad is coming your way. And compared to this, it will be far worse.”Phineas’ pupils shrank. Panic flashed across his face as he screamed, “Nonsense! All of you are insane!”Before his voice even faded, the surrounding crowd suddenly parted.A group of uniformed men strode in with imposing momentum.At the front was Zed, followed closely by several officers from the Investigation Unit.They stopped directly in front of Phineas.Zed’s voice was loud and authoritative. “Phineas Ponzi, you are under arrest for promoting feudal superstition, fraud, and scamming citizens. Yo

Greed and lust flickered openly across Luis’ and Terry’s faces.Luis swallowed and said with a grin, “Mr. Queen, once you’ve had the first taste, let us have our turn too. Ms. Verrick is too beautiful. It’s a waste for just one man.”Terry laughed and nodded eagerly. “Exactly. A woman like her doesn’t come around often.”Joseph leaned back against the sofa, clearly enjoying their reactions.His private life had always been a mess. Parties, women, excess. He never bothered hiding it. To him, people were toys, and women were prizes to be shared when he was done.He chuckled smugly. “Relax. After I’m finished with her, you can both have your fun.”The three of them laughed loudly, the sound thick with arrogance and filth.Knock. Knock.The sudden sound froze the room.Their laughter died instantly.The three men exchanged uneasy looks.Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Go see who that is.”Luis muttered under his breath, “Probably hotel staff.”He walked to the door and peered through the peeph

Morix’ men surged forward without hesitation, moving with ruthless efficiency.Joseph and his two bodyguards barely had time to react before they were overwhelmed. Heavy blows landed, joints twisted the wrong way, and sharp cries of pain echoed through the suite. When the men were finally dragged back up, none of them could stand on their own anymore. Their arrogance had been crushed along with their bodies.Morix watched coldly, his expression unchanged.He flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly, “Master doesn’t want them dead. He wants them alive, humiliated, and incapable of causing trouble ever again.”The men nodded in unison. “Yes, sir.”“Send these three broken dogs back to Leon Nagger in Shadowmoor,” Morix added. “Let him see clearly what happens to people who scheme against Master.”“Yes, sir!”The men were hauled away like trash, their groans fading down the hallway.⸻Meanwhile, back at home, the atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and peaceful.Jaden was se

Jaden knew exactly what was bothering his in-laws the moment he saw their uneasy expressions.They were trying to act normal, but their eyes kept darting away, their smiles forced. Fear and doubt were written all over their faces.Without saying a word, Jaden picked up the remote control on the table and switched on the television in the living room.The screen lit up.He calmly flipped through the channels until he stopped at Ironvale Television Station. Then he smiled faintly and said, “Mom, Dad, Selena. I think you’ll want to see this.”Selena and her parents exchanged confused looks. Before they could ask anything, the news anchor’s voice rang out clearly.On the screen, Phineas Ponzi appeared in handcuffs, his hair disheveled, his earlier confidence completely gone.The anchor spoke coldly and precisely.“Phineas Ponzi, who falsely claimed to be a renowned fortune teller, has been arrested today. Investigations revealed that Ponzi dropped out of school after primary education and

Joseph Queen’s shattered arms and legs could still be treated with time, surgery, and money. Bones could heal. Muscles could be repaired.But what had been taken from him could never be restored.His manhood was gone for good.That was the real meaning behind Alfred’s words. Even if Joseph woke up and survived, he would live the rest of his life as a crippled and impotent man, a living disgrace.Leon Nagger’s eyes darkened.He did not explode in anger. He did not curse or shout. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and waved dismissively.“Take him away.”Two men stepped forward at once, lifted the stretcher, and carried Joseph out of the living room. His unconscious body disappeared down the corridor, leaving behind a suffocating silence.Leon picked up his teacup calmly, swirling the liquid inside as if nothing significant had happened. Only after a few seconds did he raise his gaze toward the three men seated before him.Carl Rajar.Lawson Sultan.Badan Dawn.His voice was steady and

Leon appeared completely unbothered by the heated pledges in front of him. He lifted a hand and gestured for Carl, who was still kneeling on the floor, to stand up.“There’s no need for that,” Leon said calmly.Carl hesitated for a moment before rising to his feet. His back was stiff, his expression tense, as if he were standing before a judge deciding his family’s fate.Leon leaned back slightly, his fingers resting on the arm of his chair. A faint smile curved his lips as his gaze swept over Lawson and Badan.“I did promise Howard Sultan of Ironvale that I would let Jaden Rift off the hook,” Leon said slowly. “But that promise was made under the assumption that Jaden would know when to stop.”His eyes narrowed just a little.“If he insists on continuing this tomfoolery, then I can no longer pretend not to see it. I appreciate your offers of cooperation,” Leon continued. “However, there’s no need for the three of you to involve yourselves in this matter.”Carl, Lawson, and Badan froz
