Camilla stood lost in thought in the middle of the lobby. Her eyes narrowed — then blinked several times. Just to make sure of what she was seeing right now. She stared carefully at the woman standing in front of her. Amelia... Somehow, Camilla didn’t know how to explain it. Sick. Withered. Devoid of vitality. And broken. It had only been a short while since the last time they met. How could someone change so drastically in such a short amount of time? Her body was emaciated — nothing but bones without flesh. Only wrapped in pale, almost transparent skin. And those eye bags... Darkened. She looked as if she had aged ten years in just a matter of days. If she hadn’t heard that familiar voice from afar. She might not have realized that the woman was Amelia at all. Even so, Camilla was still doubtful. Impossible, right... could the woman in front of her really be that Amelia? “Please... let me in...” Camilla fell silent. That voice. That hoarse, trembling voice w

That night fell like the swift wave of a devil's hand - bringing a cold wind that made anyone shiver. The sharp scent of salt and cold stabbed into Oliver's nose. He stepped forward slowly... Far outside the city of Maviron. The water roared loudly - as if ready to devour him. The sound of massive crashing waves slowly gnawed at the marrow of his spine. Making him shiver unconsciously. Oliver stared ahead. Staring at a solid structure - like a gate leading to death. Or even... A gate leading to hell. Iron Claw Prison. This prison... Even ordinary people would tremble in fear just hearing about it. Their impression might be horrifying... Oppressive... Isolated... The end of all ends... And all of that was indeed... not wrong. Its location was remote - some said that Iron Claw stood at the edge of the world. Situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - surrounded by massive waves ready to devour anyone. Ordinary ships could not casually drop anchor here. Not becau

The journey back to Maviron felt like thousands of years in hell for Oliver.The helicopter carrying him sliced through the suffocating silence of the night...But his mind was still stuck in the blazing ruins of Iron Claw Prison.In his eyes, the shadows of his friends crying and pleading desperately...Refused to disappear.Every time he closed his eyes - he heard their screams swallowed by the explosion.Would they blame him?Guilt...Disappointment...Pain...All mixed together into one..."Damn you, Logan! Damn you!" Oliver screamed inside the noisy helicopter cabin."You must die!""I must avenge my friends!"He landed on the outskirts of Maviron city when the clock showed one in the morning.The city seemed peaceful...Everyone was asleep...Or perhaps having fun...Enjoying life...Completely unaware that behind it all, a great tragedy had just occurred...That made Oliver very angry.They could live peacefully...While his friends...They all died!So miserably...Full of reg

Lena and Juliet fell silent for a few moments. They looked at each other with pale faces. “Do… Do you really think you can do it?” Juliet asked with a hint of doubt. “It’s not… It’s not that I think you don’t have the ability, it’s just that…” Juliet trailed off — she was confused about what words to use to continue that sentence. Lena took a deep breath. “The Storm Fang Clan is a large and renowned martial arts clan.” “It won’t be easy for you to take control of it.” “So, do you have a plan?” Alex grinned. He nodded with arrogance clearly radiating from him. “I’m not an idiot.” “Of course it takes a solid plan to take over a large clan like that.” “I’m not some madman who sets goals without careful planning.” The man chuckled, pushing forward a black box he had brought from the car earlier. “This time, it’s your turn to go,” he continued. Juliet frowned, staring at Alex with a confused expression. “What is this box for?” Lena took the box and opened it.

That place was bustling in the darkness of night.The people here didn't know the word rest.They only had fun... squandering money.The clinking sound of glasses colliding... also cigarette smoke exchanging...This place was indeed lively.In the private room on the second floor, Carlos played with his wine glass listlessly.His face looked annoyed and spiritless at the same time."We have to move now," Carlos broke the silence.His eyes rolled toward James who sat before him."Logan is in danger. We can't let those elders destroy him.""The city's current situation is quite complicated.""The city's old rulers have all been kidnapped.""The elders want to take over their assets, become the new rulers, and..."Carlos fell silent for a few moments before continuing, "Destroy Logan."James nodded.He had heard everything from Carlos.His father together with Carlos's grandfather and several others.They were greedy people who wanted to sneak in as the new rulers...Using cunning and di
