You Married a Nobody
Chapter 1: “You Married a Nobody?” The Lin family dining table was grand, the food exquisite — but the atmosphere was thick with disdain. "You call this a man?" Ivy Lin’s aunt slammed her chopsticks down, eyes flaring as they darted toward Jaxon. “Three years! No job, no business, not even a car. You're a disgrace, Jaxon!” Jaxon Lin sat still, back straight, eyes calm. He didn't flinch. He had endured this many times. Ivy Lin, his wife, gritted her teeth. “Aunt Mei, that’s enough—” “Enough?” Aunt Mei laughed mockingly. “You could’ve married Ethan Xu, heir to Xu Corporations. Instead, you chose a stray dog?” Laughter erupted around the table. Jaxon didn’t speak. He picked up his cup of lukewarm tea, quietly sipping. The taste was bitter. Like the years he’d spent swallowing his pride. Ivy clenched her fists under the table. She didn’t love Jaxon when they

You're Not Supposed to Have That Card
Chapter 2: “You’re Not Supposed to Have That Card”Thirty minutes after storming out of the Lin family mansion, Jaxon sat in the backseat of a sleek black Phantom, eyes focused on the velvet-lined box in his lap.Inside it gleamed a jet-black titanium card, its edges rimmed with gold.The Ghost Monarch Emblem.A symbol of absolute power in the underground world — only one person held it.And that person… was him.“Sir,” the driver said, adjusting the mirror nervously. “The Ninth Pavilion awaits your first directive in three years. Shall I inform Commander Zhao?”“No,” Jaxon said flatly. “Let them wonder. Let them tremble first.”He slipped the card into his wallet and shut the box, a storm brewing behind his calm face. Three years ago, he'd sealed his identity and vanished into a fake marriage for a mission — but now the silence had been broken.It was time to take back what was his.—Last Updated : 2025-07-01Read more

Dock 17
Chapter 3: “Dock 17” 12:03 AM – The Docks, Eastern Riverline The wind was sharp, the air thick with the smell of oil and secrets. A black SUV rolled silently into Dock 17, the engine purring like a predator. The doors opened. Jaxon stepped out. Gone was the composed, quiet son-in-law. He wore a black coat with no insignia, his eyes glinting under the moonlight. At his side, Commander Zhao—the Ninth Pavilion’s operations head—saluted without a word. “They're here,” Zhao said. “Ethan’s people. Shipment's being offloaded—without licenses, just like you predicted.” “Perfect,” Jaxon said calmly. “Let’s greet them.” He moved like a ghost, boots echoing against metal ramps as he approached the container lot. The place looked deserted. But trained eyes would’ve noticed shadows — men with rifles hidden above the stacks, infrared scopes tracking movement. Jaxo

The Man He Really Is
Chapter 4: “The Man He Really Is” Ivy stared at the steel case sitting in the center of Jaxon’s empty apartment. The rest of the place looked untouched by life — no clothes, no documents, no signs anyone had lived here for the past three years. It was sterile. Cold. Like a ghost had just vanished. Her trembling fingers hovered over the latch. She opened it. Inside was a matte-black tablet, a leather-bound folder, and a single photograph. The photo hit her like a punch to the chest. It showed Jaxon — but not the Jaxon she knew. He wore a tactical vest, kneeling beside an overturned SUV. His face was bloodied, eyes blazing. Around him were men in masks—kneeling. In submission. Stamped at the bottom was a red seal: 9th Pavilion, Ghost Monarch. She opened the folder next. Her breath caught. It held classified

Send Them A Message
Chapter 5: “Send Them a Message” Location: Abandoned Meat Packing Plant – Outskirts of Xiang River 11:57 PM The place reeked of blood, rust, and rot. Aria Lin sat tied to a steel chair, a bloodied cloth gagging her mouth. Her mascara had run down her cheeks, and her expensive heels were gone. Her dress was torn at the shoulder from struggling. Ethan Xu stood just out of reach, sipping wine. "She's bait," he told the camera. "Let's see how long your husband keeps pretending he's untouchable, Ivy." Ivy—watching the feed from Jaxon’s SUV—was shaking. “He’s insane.” Jaxon didn’t answer. He was focused, emotionless. A Bluetooth device blinked in his ear. “Zhao,” he said into the mic, “status?” Commander Zhao’s voice came through: “Six hostiles on perimeter. Four inside. Two snipers on the rooftop. We’re synced.” Jaxon’s eyes

Crimson Thread and the Broken Teeth
Chapter 6: “Crimson Threads and Broken Teeth” Location: Unknown – Crimson League Observation Bunker A marble chamber lit by holographic panels and war maps. The woman in the white trench coat stood before a digital wall, studying the footage of Dock 17, the meat plant raid, and Jaxon’s assault on Ethan. Her silver-blonde hair was tied in a sleek braid, and a serpentine tattoo coiled around her neck — the mark of the Crimson League. “Ghost Monarch,” she whispered again. “You should’ve stayed buried.” A young aide approached with a trembling hand. “Mistress Scarlet… the Council wants to know. Do we eliminate him now?” Scarlet smirked. “No. We watch. Let the others panic first. We were never meant to kill the dragon… only control his fire.” Her violet eyes gleamed. “But if he steps one foot too close to the past… I’ll slit his heart myself.” —

Vault Of Shadow
Chapter 7: “Vault of Shadows” Location: The Vault of Origins – Abandoned Underground Facility, Jincheng Province The air was thick with dust, damp stone, and the weight of memory. Jaxon stood before a rusted door half-swallowed by roots and earth. Ivy stood beside him, tense and confused. “This is where it began,” Jaxon murmured. “Before the Lin family. Before the ‘Ghost Monarch.’ This is where I died… and was reborn.” The steel door creaked open. Inside, the corridor was lined with cracked monitors and shattered glass. This wasn’t just a bunker — it was a research lab. A prison. Jaxon led Ivy through it slowly. “This place was a military black site, known only to a handful. I was sixteen when I was brought here… after my parents were murdered.” Ivy’s eyes widened. “Your parents?” Jaxon nodded. “They were government agents. Killed by t

Marked by Shadows
Chapter 8: “Marked by Shadows” Location: Ninth Pavilion Emergency HQ — 48 Hours Later Jaxon sat alone in a cold war room, screens flickering with alerts, betrayals, and redacted feeds. Maps of burned warehouses, cut-off accounts, and disappearing assets blinked in every corner. Zhao entered quietly. “Sir… it’s spreading faster than we expected.” Jaxon didn’t move. “The Crimson League accepted the forged data. They believe you betrayed them a decade ago — that you handed over the identities of five field agents to Interpol for immunity.” Jaxon’s hands clenched on the armrest of the steel chair. “I was in the Vault during that betrayal. I was still… their prisoner.” “They don’t care. They want blood.” Another officer rushed in. “Sir—target bounty confirmed. You’ve been marked for Red Execution. Every major syndicate is now authorized to take you dead… not alive.”

Blood Ties and Bullet Storms
Chapter 9: “Blood Ties and Bullet Storms” Location: Crimson League Tower – Inner Sanctum Mistress Scarlet descended into the sublevel chamber only she had access to. A polished black vault door slid open, revealing a private memorial room. Inside, photographs lined the walls — men and women once known only by codenames. One photo sat at the center. A man and woman, holding a young boy with stormy eyes. The brass plaque below read: Agent D. Lin Agent M. Lin Status: KIA Scarlet stared at the image, jaw clenched. “They were your parents, Jaxon,” she whispered. “But what you never knew is... I was the one who gave the order that got them killed.” She touched the image gently. Her voice cracked — not with guilt, but control. “They chose love over duty. And for that, I had to make a choice.” She turned to h

The Gate of Betrayal
Chapter 10: “The Gate of Betrayal” Location: Crimson League Outer Perimeter — 11:29 PM The sky rumbled with lightning as Jaxon stood alone beneath the fortified mountain estate known as "The Gate." He wore a bloodstained cloak over tactical armor, his breathing slow, eyes ice-cold. Two guards spotted him at the first checkpoint. “You’re trespassing,” one shouted. Jaxon didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled a small device from his belt. Beep. Two EMP pulses burst out, frying every camera and alarm system in a five-hundred-meter radius. Before the guards could react, Jaxon blurred forward. CRACK. CRACK. Both men were down before they drew breath. He whispered into his comms. “Entry secured. I’m inside.” Zhao’s voice crackled back. “Sir, are you sure you want to do this alone?”<
