CHAPTER 106 PART 1
In the secure control room, Damien Cross stood staring at the wall of monitors—one now shattered and sparking where he'd driven his blade through Alexander's face. His ring pulsed with dark energy, responding to his excitement, his anticipation, his hunger for the confrontation to come."Alexander Howard," Damien said to the empty room. "The God of War hiding behind amnesia and poverty. Clever. Very clever. But not clever enough."He knew now. Knew with absolute certainty that this was the man who'd nearly killed him three years ago. The man who'd fought him to a standstill and almost taken his ring. The man who was the only real threat to his mission.But knowing and being certain were two different things. Damien needed to test him. Needed to fight him again, to see if the movements matched, if the techniques aligned, if this really was the same opponent who'd once been unstoppable."Time to find out," Damien muttered, pulling his hood up. The shadows seemed to deepen around him, hi
CHAPTER 106 PART 2
He left with the two proxies flanking him, moving through the corridors with predatory purpose. They weren't being subtle. Weren't trying to hide. Marcus wanted everyone to see him hunting. Wanted the word to spread that you didn't touch a Stanford and live to tell about it.In suite 7621, Alexander stood by the window, his reflection staring back at him from the darkened glass. Vanessa and Katarina had finally fallen asleep—exhausted from the day's events, the adrenaline crash leaving them unconscious despite their fear.But Alexander couldn't sleep. His mind was too active. His instincts were screaming warnings. Danger was coming. Multiple sources of danger, converging on him like arrows toward a target.He needed to move. Needed to get away from Vanessa and Katarina before whatever was coming reached them. If Marcus Stanford wanted revenge, fine. But it would happen away from the women. Where they couldn't get caught in the crossfire.Alexander slipped out of the suite quietly, lea
CHAPTER 107 PART 1
Damien watched Alexander's face carefully when he asked about the rings. Watched the micro-expressions that flashed across his features—surprise first, then recognition, then something that might have been fear or might have been determination.There. That reaction. That told him everything he needed to know."You know who I am," Damien said quietly. "Don't you? Your body remembers even if your mind doesn't. You remember our fight. Remember how close you came to dying.""I remember enough," Alexander replied, his stance shifting into something combat-ready. "I remember you killed Anna. I remember you took the third ring. And I remember that you're not getting the other two.""Other two?" Damien's smile was hidden by his hood, but his voice carried satisfaction. "So you admit you have them. Good. That saves us time on pointless denials.""I'm not giving them to you," Alexander said firmly. "Ever. You want them? You'll have to kill me first.""That's the plan," Damien confirmed. "But I
CHAPTER 107 PART 2
Marcus opened his mouth to laugh again, but then he looked at Alexander's face. Really looked at it. And saw the tension there. The way Alexander's jaw was clenched. The way his eyes kept darting between Marcus and the cloaked figure like he was calculating how to fight both at once."Wait," Marcus said slowly. "You're serious. You actually believe this street rat has these rings.""I don't believe it," Damien corrected. "I know it. I've seen them. Fought him for them three years ago. Almost killed him then. Would have, if circumstances hadn't intervened."Marcus's expression was transforming. The mockery was fading, replaced by something else—greed, maybe, or calculation, or both. "If he has these rings... if they're really worth what you say they're worth...""Fifty million is a conservative estimate," Damien said. "Their true value is much higher. Both in money and in what they can do.""What they can do?" Marcus asked."Power," Damien said simply. "Real power. The kind that makes
CHAPTER 108 PART 1
Damien studied the confrontation carefully, his mind calculating. He'd fought Alexander before—before the amnesia, when the God of War had been at full power. Back then, it had been the fight of Damien's life. He'd barely survived. Barely managed to escape with his ring intact.And he'd learned something crucial from that encounter: Alexander was the better fighter. Stronger, faster, more skilled. In a straight-up combat situation, Damien would lose. Again.But assassination wasn't about fair fights. It was about finding weaknesses. Exploiting vulnerabilities. Using every advantage, no matter how dirty.Like using Marcus Stanford as a weapon."You're bluffing," Marcus said, his confidence returning. "There are no rings. Neither of you have them. This is some kind of scam, some kind of—""Is it?" Damien interrupted. He reached slowly into his jacket, making the movement obvious, non-threatening. "Then what do you call this?"His hand emerged holding a ring.It gleamed in the dim corrid
CHAPTER 108 PART 2
"Kenji Miyagi," Damien said with certainty. "He was trying to buy the proxy earlier. Offered ten million. The technique used just now—smoke screen, precise strikes, silent movement—that's ninja training. Miyagi family specialty."Marcus's face turned red with renewed rage. "That bastard! He's trying to steal my revenge! Trying to take what's mine!""He's trying to take the proxy," Damien corrected. "Probably thinks if he can turn him, can make him work for the Miyagi family, he'll get access to the rings through interrogation or manipulation.""Then we find them both," Marcus snarled. "We find the proxy and whoever helped him, and we kill them all. I don't care if it's Miyagi himself—nobody interferes with a Stanford's business!"Damien looked at the fake ring still in his hand, then pocketed it carefully. "Agreed. But we need to be smarter about this. More careful. Whoever helped him knew we were here. Knew what we were doing. Which means...""Which means we were being watched," Marc
Chapter 109 PART 1
The smoke cleared, and Alexander found himself standing in a different corridor entirely—the ninja's intervention had been so swift and efficient that he'd been half-carried, half-guided away from the fight before Marcus, Damien, or the proxies could react.He turned to find Kenji Miyagi standing there, his expression neutral but his eyes sharp with calculation."Thank you," Alexander said, catching his breath. "For the help. I appreciate it.""Do you?" Kenji asked. "Appreciate it enough to reconsider my earlier offer, perhaps?"Alexander straightened, his wounds from the fight already making themselves known—shallow cuts, bruises, the lingering burn of Damien's energy attacks. "I need to get back to Miss Sterling. Make sure she's safe.""In a moment," Kenji said, positioning himself between Alexander and the corridor exit. "First, we talk. Properly this time. Without interruptions from angry Stanford heirs or mysterious cloaked figures.""I don't have time for—""You'll make time," K
CHAPTER 109 PART 2
He started to walk past Kenji, but the Miyagi heir's hand shot out, gripping Alexander's arm with surprising strength."I'm not finished," Kenji said, his voice dropping to something dangerous. "You need to understand the position you're in. You need to understand what refusing me means.""I understand perfectly," Alexander said, trying to pull his arm free. Kenji's grip tightened."No, you don't," Kenji insisted. "You're thinking like a fighter. Like someone who believes he can overcome any threat through skill and determination. But you're not facing one threat. You're facing four."He held up his free hand, ticking off on his fingers. "The Stanford family. Wealthy, connected, with eight proxies who are all professional killers. They want you dead for humiliating Marcus. That's threat one."Second finger. "The cloaked figure. Supernatural abilities, three years of hunting you, determined to take your rings and your life. That's threat two."Third finger. "The other families—Bennett,
Chapter 110 PART 1
"I'm not worried about the Stanford brother," Alexander said calmly. "Or his proxies. Or the cloaked figure."Kenji stopped walking. Turned slowly to stare at Alexander with complete disbelief. "Excuse me?""You heard me," Alexander repeated. "I'm not worried about them.""Not worried?" Kenji's voice rose slightly, his usual composure cracking. "Do you have ANY idea who the Stanford family is? What they're capable of? They own prison systems across twelve states! They have connections to every major criminal organization in the country! They've destroyed companies, ruined lives, made entire bloodlines disappear!"He stepped closer, his eyes searching Alexander's face. "And you're telling me you're not worried about them? About Marcus Stanford specifically? About the fact that he has eight professional killers who answer only to him? About the fact that legal murder is now permitted and he has infinite resources to hunt you?""That's what I'm telling you," Alexander confirmed."You're
CHAPTER 110 PART 2
Back in the corridor where the fight had occurred, Marcus Stanford was pacing like a caged animal, his rage building with every passing second."SMOKE BOMB!" he screamed for the tenth time. "A goddamn ninja smoke bomb! Right in the middle of my revenge!"His two proxies had recovered enough to stand, though both looked worse for wear—whatever had struck them in the smoke had been precise and brutal."Sir," one of them ventured, "the technique used... it's consistent with Miyagi family training. Their operatives specialize in—""I KNOW WHO IT WAS!" Marcus interrupted. "That smug bastard Kenji! He's been trying to steal my proxy all night! First with his ridiculous money offers, now with direct interference!"The cloaked figure—Damien—stood apart from Marcus's tantrum, his mind working through tactical considerations. The Miyagi family was involved now. That complicated things significantly. The Miyagis had resources the Stanfords couldn't match in certain areas—specifically, the kind o
