The diamond experience
After leaving the Premium Lounge, Zeke walked through the softly lit hallway until he reached the maître d’s counter. The maître d’, a tall man with a perfectly pressed suit and white gloves, straightened politely when he saw him approach.“I would like to see the owner,” Zeke said quietly.The maître d’ opened his mouth to respond but Zeke casually slipped something into his gloved hand.A gold coin.The maître d’ glanced down just long enough to study the coin—and then he froze entirely.His eyes widened in raw shock. This was no ordinary coin.Engraved boldly into its center were the initials R.G. from Rockechild Group.Few people had ever seen a Rockechild coin. Even fewer possessed one.The coin was a universal credential used by only members of the Rockechild family. Whoever presented it to any establishment had the right to request anything:Unlimited service. No bill. No questions.The establishment would later forward the debt to the Rockechild Group, who would clear it with
The Diamond experience
Marilyn’s face burned with jealousy as she watched Anna seated behind the royal-looking table.Her jaw tightened. Her eyes narrowed into slits.Absolutely not.There was no way she was going to let Anna Zhao of all people, outshine her in front of everyone.She shot a sharp look at Raymond, her eyes screaming at him to do something about it.Raymond, feeling the pressure of her gaze and the stares of the entire room, rose to his feet. Straightening his suit, he cleared his throat loud enough for half the lounge to hear.“Ahem! Excuse me,” he announced with the swagger of a man sure of his worth. “I think it's completely unfair to everyone else here if only Anna is getting that kind of special treatment.”He spread his arms in a self-important gesture. “I want the same for my mother-in-law.”Marilyn lifted her chin proudly. A few other sons-in-law stood up too:“That’s right! If she gets that, I want it for my mother-in-law as well.”“Same here! We’re all here to spoil them, aren’t we?
The Crane Ring
After the lavish dinner ended and the Diamond Experience staff cleared the table with bowed heads, Zeke rose and touched Anna lightly on her shoulder.“Alright, mother-in-law,” he said gently. “It’s getting late. Let’s head home. Pepper would start getting worried.”Anna nodded and began rising to her feet. She had enjoyed an amazing evening. It was time to return home and savour it.Suddenly, Marilyn abruptly stood from her table, her smile wide and forced.“Everyone!” she announced loudly, clapping her hands for attention. “Before the evening ends, I have a special surprise. Next week, I’ll be sponsoring a weekend getaway for all of us. Fully paid. Feel free to come with your families. Let’s all enjoy ourselves!”It was obvious to everyone that Marilyn was desperate to salvage her pride. She refused to let Anna leave as the shining star of the night.Anna blinked, then offered a polite smile.“Oh, that’s thoughtful, Marilyn. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend. I’ll be busy nex
The Homeless Boy
Zeke shot to his feet so abruptly that Panda flinched. He began pacing across the living room, one hand on his hip, the other rubbing the bridge of his nose. “How,” Zeke muttered, restraining himself from raising his voice, “how could you lose the Crane Ring, Panda? Of all the rings, that one should never have gone missing.” Panda bowed his head respectfully, but his jaw was tight. “It was not negligence, young master,” he said quietly. “The Crane Ring was en route to me. One of my most trusted men was delivering it. The package was supposed to reach me at the designated meeting point—the national library.” Zeke stopped pacing, turning sharply to him. “Supposed to? What happened?” Panda nodded grimly. “While my man was on his way, there was an attack. He got ambushed.” Zeke’s eyes narrowed. “By who?” “I suspect the Greyhounds,” Panda replied. “They must have gotten word that the Crane Ring was being transferred to the national library. They intercepted the car and opened bulle
At the abandoned schoolhouse
A black sedan with tinted windows pulled up to a lonely alley, its engine humming before falling silent. The door swung open, and Xavier stepped out, his expensive leather shoes crunching on broken glass. One of Xavier's leading thugs, a bulky man with a scarred face, hurried over towards him. "Mr. Greyhound, sir—"Xavier cut him off with a sharp gesture, his eyes scanning the dimly lit alley. "The ring. Where is it?"The man swallowed hard. "Sir, we had him cornered. But just before we boxed him in, he threw a small package out the window. We lost visual. My boys have turned this place inside out but we couldn't find it. The ring is gone."Xavier’s jaw flexed. Slowly, he turned toward the man. “Gone?” His voice was as dangerous as a viper hissing. "Did you just said gone?"Before the man knew it, Xavier grabbed him by the throat with one hand and slammed him back into the nearest wall. The lead thug let out a choking gasp as Xavier leaned closer, his eyes burning like ice and fire
The penthouse building
Zeke caught the Crane Ring smoothly as it arced through the air.For a moment he simply stared at it in his palm, astonished at how easy he got the ring back.That was it?No resistance. No negotiation. No threats. The ring had just been tossed back to him like loose change.Panda blinked beside him, equally stunned. Zeke could walk away right now, and never think of these two again.But he didn’t move.His eyes swept over the crumbling classroom, the makeshift bed of old newspapers, and the hollow look in the man's eyes.Zeke closed his fingers around the ring and exhaled.He couldn’t walk away.Not when he was the reason this father and his son were caught in this mess to begin with.Besides, he needed answers about that boy.Zeke slipped the Crane Ring into his coat pocket and looked at the man.“What’s your name?” he asked calmly.The man frowned hard, his suspicion returning instantly. “You got your ring back,” he said sharply. “Why don’t you just leave us alone?”Zeke shook his
The manager
Xavier stopped dead the moment he spotted the two homeless individuals standing in the lobby. He clenched his jaw in irritation. He had a very bad night searching for the ring without success and now he had to run into two dirty homeless people. “You there,” he snarled, marching straight towards David and Richard. “What are street filth like you doing in a place like this?”David froze. Richard clung to his leg.Zeke didn’t panic. The facial disguise he wore made him unrecognizable to Xavier. He stepped slightly in front of David, placing a firm hand on his shoulder. “They’re with me,” he said smoothly.Xavier’s frown deepened as he looked Zeke up and down, not recognizing him. “You brought a couple of homeless street rats into a refined establishment? Who do you think you are?”“I’m just a kind man,” Zeke replied, “who wants to give this father and his son a chance at a better life.”“Well, that’s mighty cute of you,” Xavier mocked, stepping closer. “But I’m spending the night her
David's Secert
"Wait a minute!" Xavier barked. "What the hell is going on here? You bought the entire building? Just like that? How is that possible?"Zeke didn't even turn fully to face him. "I owe you no explanation for my purchases," he stated, his voice flat. "Now, as I said before, leave my property."Xavier's hands clenched into white-knuckled fists as he glared at Zeke.He didn’t know why, but something about this stranger felt uncanny. It was familiar in the wrong way.Suddenly, Xavier grabbed Zeke by the collar and yanked him forward, shaking him violently.“I know only a handful of people with enough money to burn on an entire building,” Xavier growled. “And I’ve never heard of you. Who are you!?”Zeke silently thanked every star in the sky that he was wearing his mask—otherwise, he would have been busted instantly.Then, with a sudden burst of strength, Zeke twisted free from Xavier’s grip and moved like lightning.In one clean motion, he grabbed Xavier, pivoted, and executed a flawless j
Medusa
Zeke reared his head back, brows lifting sharply. “Not your biological son?” he repeated. “Then who exactly is Richard?”David exhaled slowly, gathering courage. “Sir,” he began, “Richard is the true heir to Sir Nelson the Third.”Zeke’s eyes widened a fraction.Sir Nelson III.He knew that name very well.Nelson was one of the youngest and most influential politicians in the Government House.The young man owns a news channel and several tech firms in the Capital. He was a public figure, known for his sharp suits and sharper public speeches.Zeke leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees.“Go on,” he said quietly. "I'm listening."David nodded and continued. “Sir Nelson married two wives. Both became pregnant the same day and both gave birth on the same day.” He sighed deeply. “But the first wife’s son died shortly after birth.”Zeke’s expression hardened.David’s voice dropped, heavy with bitterness. “After the death of her son, the first wife, Lara, poisoned her heart with envy.
Medusa part 2
Zeke folded his arms, watching Medusa with narrowed eyes. He was fascinated by her. “Well, this is interesting,” he said. “You really are exactly what people say you are.”Medusa let out a low, musical laugh. "I have always wondered when a member of the Rockechild family would grace my temple. Your bloodline carries a unique history.""And here I am," Zeke said, spreading his arms. "I can't say I'm proud to be seeking out a witch, but it seems there's no way around it."Medusa tilted her head, studying him with a predator’s patience. “You’ve come to restore Nelson’s mind,” she said plainly. “Haven’t you?”“Yes,” Zeke replied. “Lift the curse on Nelson. The poor guy doesn't deserve it.”Medusa interlocked her fingers upon her lap. “I’m surprised. I thought you possessed the Nāga Ring. Doesn’t it carry the power to lift curses?”Zeke shook his head slowly. "It lifts curses that the Nāga Ring itself places. Not those woven by other forces. Nelson's curse is your doing. Only you can undo
