The words had barely left Wula’s mouth when loud knocking suddenly shook the door.Bang. Bang. Bang.Before Tommy could even respond, frantic shouting followed from the hallway.“Help, Mr. Valkyrie!”“There’s trouble in the lobby!”“Someone’s causing chaos down there. He killed a few of our men!”Tommy froze for half a second.Then his expression turned dark.“What?”He jumped out of bed immediately, grabbing his pants from the floor and pulling them on in a hurry. His movements were sharp and irritated, like a predator that had just been disturbed in its territory.Wula sat up on the bed, still half asleep.“Tommy… what’s going on?”But Tommy didn’t answer her.He quickly threw on a shirt and strode toward the door.The moment he opened it, one of Shimmer Corporation’s guards nearly stumbled inside.The man’s face was pale, his breathing ragged.Tommy’s temper instantly flared.“What the hell is going on?” he barked.The guard straightened nervously under Tommy’s glare.“Mr. Valkyrie

Tommy let out a loud roar as he launched forward.His body shot across the hallway like a charging bull, one massive fist raised high in the air.The punch came down fast.Fast like lightning.Heavy like a falling hammer.The men from Shimmer Corporation instantly burst into excited cheers.“That’s it, Mr. Valkyrie!”“Crush him!”“Break his head open!”Their confidence was absolute. In their eyes, Tommy was unbeatable.Even Wula had quietly opened the door to the room and peeked out from the side.She leaned against the doorframe, watching the scene unfold in the hallway.The moment she saw Tommy attack, a faint sparkle appeared in her eyes.She had seen Tommy fight before.Anyone who faced him usually didn’t last ten seconds.But this time, something different happened.Just as Tommy’s fist was about to smash into Jaden’s face, Jaden simply took a small step backward.It was effortless.Almost lazy.The punch missed him completely.Kaboom!Tommy’s fist slammed straight into the wall

Jaden did not say another word.After speaking to Wula, he simply turned around and walked down the hallway.His footsteps were calm and steady, as if nothing important had just happened.Morix followed closely behind him.Neither of them spared a glance at the body lying on the ground.Behind them, the men of Shimmer Corporation remained frozen in place.Their faces were pale.No one dared to stop them.The two men walked straight out of the building and disappeared into the night.Only after they were gone did the guards finally begin breathing again.But the fear that had settled in their hearts refused to fade.Because everyone present understood one thing very clearly.Ironvale had just welcomed a monster.And anyone who crossed him would end up exactly like Tommy.Dead.The news of Tommy’s death spread through Shadowmoor like wildfire.Within a few hours, the entire underground world had already heard the shocking report.The King of Mercenaries.Tommy Valkyrie.Dead in Ironvale
Chapter 974
Night pressed down on Ironvale like a heavy cloak.Across the shimmering waters of Lake Rose, the lights of the city reflected in long ripples of gold and crimson. Music drifted from the lakeside restaurants, and laughter mixed with the clatter of plates and teacups.Rosary Teahouse stood proudly along the shoreline, its wooden balconies stretching out over the water. Lanterns hung along the railings, casting a warm amber glow over the diners gathered inside.At this hour, the place was usually filled with wealthy businessmen, tourists, and socialites enjoying the evening breeze.But tonight, the atmosphere changed the moment the doors swung open.A group of men strode inside without hesitation.At the front was a young man in an immaculate tailor-made suit. His posture was relaxed, but the cold arrogance in his eyes made people instinctively avoid looking at him for too long.This man was Balo Nagger.The youngest son of Leon Nagger.The boss of Shimmer Corporation.And one of the mo

John’s expression instantly turned furious.His fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.Rosary Teahouse was not some cheap roadside tavern. It was a respected establishment in Ironvale, and Rosemary was someone everyone here admired deeply.Yet this arrogant young man had the audacity to summon her like a hostess.John took a step forward, his voice rising with anger.“Who do you think you are?”The security guards behind him straightened, ready to back him up.John pointed at the door.“How dare you treat our lady boss like that? Scram now, or else we will call the police!”The entire hall fell silent.Many diners secretly nodded in agreement.However, Balo Nagger’s expression slowly darkened.The faint smile on his face disappeared little by little.The temperature in the room seemed to drop.He looked at John as if he were staring at a barking stray dog.Then he spoke calmly, his voice filled with cold irritation.“This dog’s barking is getting on
Chapter 976
The moment Balo Nagger’s name left his lips, the restaurant emptied.There was no deliberation, no exchanged glances, no polite gathering of belongings. People simply got up and moved toward the exits with urgency. Within seconds the spacious interior of Rosary Teahouse had shed nearly every soul inside it — diners, waitstaff, security personnel, all of them flowing out through the doors and disappearing into the street without looking back.Nobody who knew the name Balo Nagger needed an explanation. He was the kind of man whose reputation preceded him so thoroughly that his mere presence in a room constituted a threat. He killed without ceremony and without consequence, and the people of Ironvale understood this the way they understood weather — as a fact of nature, not a moral question.In under a minute, the teahouse held only Balo Nagger, his men, and ten of Rosemary’s tea mistresses, who had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide and were now standing very still, hoping stillness mig

Rosemary descended the staircase slowly, each step deliberate, her green embroidered dress catching the light as she moved. Her expression was composed. She reached the bottom and stopped, her eyes moving across the room — taking in the emptied tables, Sarah’s ashen face, the men arranged behind Balo Nagger like instruments waiting to be used.Every man in the room stared at her.Balo Nagger, for all his brutality, was not immune to beauty. He looked at Rosemary as if he was assessing her. Behind him, the four men known collectively as the Furious Four had similarly forgotten themselves.Phantom spoke first. “Mr. Nagger,” he said, his eyes fixed on Rosemary, “this one is extraordinary. Completely my type. I’d like to keep her.”Ruin turned to look at her from a different angle entirely. “Her blood,” he said, almost to himself. “A woman this flawless — her blood would sustain my youth for months. Mr. Nagger, I have a prior claim.”Phantom swung around with a look of genuine disgust. “Y

Rosemary’s hands curled into fists at her sides. “Mr. Nagger,” she said, her voice steady despite everything, “these girls have nothing to do with any of this. Whatever grievance you have — it’s with me. Let them go and deal with me alone.”Behind her, the tea mistresses reacted immediately. “Rosemary, no!” The voices came together in a ragged chorus, Sarah’s loudest among them.Balo Nagger lifted his tea cup. He took a slow sip, set it back down, and regarded Rosemary with something that might have passed for appreciation if it weren’t so cold at its core.“Tommy was my right-hand man,” he said pleasantly. “He’s dead now. And every person in this room shares responsibility for that, whether they know it or not.” He tilted his head. “I am not a patient man, Rosemary. I have extended considerable courtesy tonight already. If you won’t make the call, then I see no reason to keep my subordinates waiting any longer. They can do as they please with all of you.”Rosemary met his eyes and he

Black Reaper wiped the corner of his mouth and grinned viciously.“You’re all too polite,” he said with a low chuckle. “But if the boss allows it, I wouldn’t mind starting with this beauty.”His eyes locked onto Rosemary.The atmosphere in the teahouse felt suffocating.Then the men behind Balo Nagger burst into laughter.Phantom slapped the table.“Black Reaper, you animal!”Ruin smirked coldly. “Just make sure you leave some blood for me.”Even Balo Nagger leaned back slightly in his chair, amused by the exchange.But in the next instant—Whoosh!A sharp sound cut through the air.Something streaked across the room like a flash of red.“Ouch!”Black Reaper suddenly screamed.The sound was so sudden that everyone jumped.He staggered backward, clutching his mouth in agony.A huge blister had instantly formed on his lips and the skin around them. It looked like something extremely hot had struck him.His face twisted in pain.“Damn it!” he shouted.Balo Nagger and the Furious Four imm

Jaden looked at Balo Nagger and the men behind him.Then he let out a quiet chuckle.“You guys?”The words were simple, but the ridicule behind them was obvious.Balo Nagger’s face instantly darkened.He let out a cold snort.“Just my men alone are enough to kill you a hundred times over.”His eyes flashed with irritation.Then he called out sharply.“Black Reaper!”“At your service!”Black Reaper immediately stepped forward.Despite the blister still visible on his mouth, the thin man looked more excited than angry.In fact, the humiliation he had just suffered only made his desire to kill even stronger.He rolled his neck slowly as he walked toward Jaden.A wicked grin spread across his pale face.His eyes glowed with savage excitement.“Bastard,” he said with a sinister laugh.“I’m going to dig your heart out for ambushing me.”As he spoke, his fingers slowly curled.His long nails stretched forward like the claws of a beast.Those hands had torn through countless enemies before.N
