Znnk! Znnkk! Thom rolled across the damp, cold dirt floor. His neat black longcoat was now covered in dust and wet clay. But there was no time to care about appearances. The machete kept slashing, kept chasing him, giving him no chance to breathe. This man was nothing like the three villagers at the gate earlier. They had fought with pride and rules. They stopped when they lost. They accepted defeat with newfound respect. But this man was different. His eyes were red with anger that had rotted inside him for years. Anger he had never released, never spoken about, never questioned. He had only buried it deep inside his chest, beneath his ribs, beside a heart that beat every single day with the same hatred. He was not merely swinging the machete. He stabbed. Swung. Hacked. Again and again. Like an executioner who had carried out his duty thousands of times. The dirt floor around Thom was filled with slash marks. Some deep, some shallow. One of them even caught the edge of Thom’s

Exactly one hour after Thom left. The wooden hut fell silent again. Only the sound of crickets outside and the whisper of the night wind slipping through the cracks in the walls remained. The fire in the stove was almost dead, leaving behind only flickering red embers that occasionally crackled softly. Elias was still sitting on the dirt floor. His left leg, wrapped in black wool cloth, was stretched out in front of him, while his right leg was bent to support part of his weight. Thom’s black business card was still clenched in his hand, already crumpled from being squeezed and unfolded over and over again. He did not know what to think. Brother. The word still felt foreign in his head. For twenty years of living in this isolated village, all he had ever known was Grandpa, Rom, and Pear--whose whereabouts were unknown. Elias was almost asleep when the hut door slammed open violently. Bam! Elias jolted. His hand instinctively reached for the machete still lying on the floo

Thom, Red Dragon, and two Delta Force members walked toward the exit of the village.Red Dragon broke the silence."King," he called, his eyes still focused on the road. "It seems Lena intentionally planted hatred about you in your three siblings.”Thom did not answer. His eyes were still fixed ahead, watching a small child running between the trees, possibly searching for firewood."Yes," Thom said.Red Dragon continued, "Lena did it as if she had predicted that they would find you in the future. Just to kill you, King.”Thom let out a sigh, a long breath that escaped through his nose, forming a faint mist in the cold air."Even though she is already dead," Thom said, "my anger toward her has never faded."Red Dragon nodded. He understood. He had seen many enemies die before his eyes. But there was never perfect satisfaction. There was always something missing, always a lingering unease in the chest."What makes me unsatisfied is when your enemy dies, and you can no longer take reven

While waiting for Red Dragon to return, Thom did not stay idle. He was not the kind of man who could sit quietly and let time pass while the people around him were starving. He stepped outside, his black longcoat, already wrinkled and torn at the edges, still hanging on his body. Two Delta Force members followed behind him, not too close, not too far. Close enough to protect him if something happened, but not close enough to intimidate anyone.Thom walked through the village. House after house. Hut after hut. He stopped in front of an open door, greeting an old woman sitting on the dirt floor while holding a child who no longer cried because he was too weak. He knelt in front of children playing in the mud because they had no other toys, looked into their empty eyes, and spoke softly.“Food is coming. Very soon.”They did not believe him.“You are just like the other people from the city,” an old man said, his voice hoarse and his eyes dull. “You come, make promises, then leave. Never

Rom doesn't care.The only thing that exists is a single belief that had been planted since childhood, watered every day by his grandfather, which became his only purpose in life: kill that man."Shut your nonsense," Rom said, his voice low, growling like a cornered animal. "Remember, you are the man I must kill. That is the message entrusted to me by my grandfather.""That message is a deception from a woman who abandoned you and hates me," Thom said.Rom paused for a moment because he remembered. Elias, his younger brother, had said the same thing before Rom left to find Thom. At that time, Elias was lying on the floor of the hut with his leg wrapped in black wool cloth, his face pale from blood loss, but his eyes were still clear."Rom, I am not sure about Grandfather's order," Elias said at the time. "The man who came here... his name is Thom... he is not as Grandfather described.""You are too easily convinced," Rom snapped."He bandaged my wound, Rom. With his own hands. With hi

Rom fell silent. The hand gripping his machete slowly loosened.“Then stop,” Thom said. “Before I regret my decision.”Rom released the machete’s handle.The blade dropped to the ground.Above their heads, the sound of helicopter rotors began to echo. Three massive helicopters descended low, the wind from their spinning blades sending dust and dry leaves flying everywhere. The villagers, who had been trembling in fear moments ago, slowly looked up.Large crates were pushed out from the helicopter doors. One after another, they crashed onto the open field near the river.The villagers screamed. Not screams of fear. But screams of joy.“Food!” “There’s food!” “God bless us!”They ran toward the crates.An old woman fell face-first onto the dirt, yet she kept crawling forward, her hands reaching for one of the boxes. She hugged it tightly, kissed it, then burst into tears.Children ran around with biscuits in their hands, smiling and laughing for the first time in days.Red Dragon step

At Thom’s house, in the backyard garden. “So, you’ve already met your two younger brothers, but you still haven’t met your younger sister?” Jasmine asked after listening carefully to Thom’s story.Thom nodded slowly while staring at the small bonfire in front of them.Jasmine leaned forward slightly. “Then, where do you think your younger sister is now? Did Elias and Rom tell you anything?”Thom shook his head. “Like I told you, we fought. Lena had been planning to kill me for a long time. She planted that hatred in their hearts since they were little. So, we never had the chance to talk about where the girl is.”He slowly sipped his tea before continuing, his voice sounding tired yet firm. “I’ve already decided not to be kind to them anymore. They’re adults now. They can choose their own path in life.”“At first, I intended to help them and give them a better life, but Elias and Rom chose to hate me. They chose the path Lena planted in them,” Thom continued.Jasmine fell silent for

Viktor Lang glanced at Jasmine with a lewd, vulgar grin. His eyes lingered on Jasmine’s chest and waist. “So beautiful… what a waste. Thom Haye, you got yourself a fresh rose like this, but I doubt your skills in bed can satisfy her. If you want, I can—”“That’s enough,” Thom cut him off coldly.But Viktor became even more excited after noticing several guests giving cynical smiles in support. “Hahaha! King of War? Don’t make me laugh. You’re just a lucky mercenary. In our eyes, you’re nothing more than a newcomer who doesn’t understand the rules of high society.”Jasmine tightened her grip on Thom’s arm, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.“Viktor Lang. Your company’s debt has already reached 180 million dollars. Three harassment cases buried with money. Even your offshore accounts are already under surveillance by the authorities. And you still dare flirt with my girlfriend in public?” Thom said.Viktor’s face turned crimson. “You—”Before he could continue, Viktor stepp

Thom walked out of Bastian’s study with calm steps. The mahogany door closed softly behind him, yet he could still feel Bastian’s sharp gaze piercing his back as he descended the stairs.Downstairs, Jasmine immediately stood up the moment she saw him. Her face was filled with worry. “Thom, what happened?”Thom gave a faint smile and wrapped an arm around her waist. “We’re going home.”The two of them politely said their farewells to several guests who still dared to approach them. Viktor Lang had already been taken away earlier, his face pale while his hand was being wrapped by Bastian’s personal doctor.The party atmosphere, once luxurious, now felt stiff and tense. Many people glanced at Thom with a mixture of fear and curiosity.Inside the luxury car speeding away from Bastian’s residence, Jasmine finally asked again, “What happened upstairs? What did Bastian offer you?”Thom looked at the streetlights passing outside the window. “He wanted me to join the Golden Circle. They want

Three days later.Lanster Group’s headquarters felt like a silent battlefield. The large meeting room was filled with tension. Several directors sat with pale faces, documents scattered across the table.“Mr. Thom… we’ve already lost seven major contracts in three days,” the Finance Director said with a trembling voice. “The major banks have frozen all of our credit lines. The port tenders have been temporarily suspended by the Ministry. The corruption rumors have spread throughout the media and business circles. Lanster’s stock has dropped nearly 38% since yesterday.”The Operations Director added in a desperate tone, “If this continues, we could be declared bankrupt within two weeks. Our liquidity is almost gone.”Jasmine stood beside Thom, her face pale and her hands cold. She had been working without sleep for the past two days. Her eyes were red from worry and exhaustion.All eyes were fixed on Thom, who sat at the end of the table. The man looked completely out of place compared
