Chapter 101
“You punk, you hit my car and now you think you can just leave? Do you even know who I am?” The golden-haired man’s eyes blazed with fury, his jaw tight with anger. Christopher glanced at him coolly and shook his head, voice casual. “No idea.” Did he really need to know every spoiled brat who crossed his path? This infuriated the golden-haired man even more. As the heir of the Valeza Group, his name carried weight across Gravemonth City. And here was this man pretending not to recognize him? “Listen up! I’m Kael Valeza, heir to the Obsidian Valeza Group!” he declared proudly, puffing out his chest. In Gravemonth City, Kael, along with Ronan and a few others, were notorious for terrorizing the streets. They were rich, powerful, and ruthless—tyrants who spent their time flaunting wealth and bullying anyone they could. “Kael Valeza?” Christopher frowned. “Still don’t know you.” “You…” Kael’s face contorted with disbelief. How could this outsider not know him, one of Gravemonth City

“Is the food good?” Christopher asked casually. Anna nodded with a faint smile. “Delicious.” While the two of them enjoyed themselves at the buffet, Kael Valeza stepped into the grand hall. His sharp eyes scanned the room with habitual arrogance—until they landed on Christopher. When Kael noticed Anna beside him, his gaze instantly brightened. Especially seeing Christopher personally serving her dessert, he became even more convinced of his assumption. A driver. In Kael’s mind, that had to be it. Clearly, Anna was the superior, and Christopher was just a lowly chauffeur trying to act important. A cold smirk curved on Kael’s lips as he started walking toward them. “Kael!” A voice suddenly stopped him. Kael turned and saw Ronan and Lucian Vale hobbling toward him, each leaning heavily on a crutch. He blinked in disbelief. “What happened to you two?” As part of Gravemonth City’s so-called “Four Tyrants,” Kael, Ronan, and Lucian were notorious together. Seeing two

“Get lost,” Christopher said coldly, his patience finally exhausted. “Or do you want me to slap you again?” The word again hit Ronan like a needle. His confidence flickered. He knew exactly what kind of man Christopher was—someone who acted first and dealt with consequences later. Status meant nothing to him. But Kael and Lucian were watching. The entire hall was watching. If he backed down now, he would never recover his dignity in Gravemonth City. “You better not—” Smack! The sound was sharp and explosive. Before Ronan could even finish speaking, Christopher’s palm struck his face with terrifying force. Bang! Ronan’s body spun sideways and crashed heavily onto the marble floor. The echo of the impact reverberated across the grand hall. Silence. Absolute silence. Glasses froze mid-air. Conversations died instantly. Hundreds of eyes widened in shock. The Iron Serpent’s young master… had just been slapped at his own father’s event. Ronan lay there for tw

Every major power in Gravemonth City was present.The patriarch of the Valeza Group, the head of the Vale family, and the leaders of the Blackthorn Consortium, the Arden Syndicate, and the Montclair Holdings all stood among the elite crowd. Each of them controlled a slice of the city’s wealth and influence.To them, the situation was already decided.Christopher was finished.No matter how strong he was, no one could survive the wrath of the Iron Serpent on its own territory—especially not with every major family watching.Kael smirked coldly.Lucian folded his arms.The Vale patriarch shook his head slightly. “What a waste. The young are always too arrogant.”The Valeza chairman sighed. “He should have known where he was standing.”Even those who had secretly admired Christopher’s strength earlier now believed he had crossed an irreversible line.Then—Boom.The massive doors at the entrance of the grand hall swung open.The sound echoed through the entire venue.Heavy footsteps foll

The entire grand hall felt as if it had been struck by lightning. No one spoke. No one even dared to breathe too loudly. What on earth was happening? Even Darius stood frozen, his mind in chaos. The Obsidian Tide… the Silver Vulture… the Vale, Arden, and Montclair families… all kneeling before Christopher? What had he missed? “Dad, what’s going on?” Kael’s voice trembled as he hurried over with Lucian, both still pale from earlier events. Before either of them could process the scene— Smack! Smack! Two crisp slaps echoed across the hall. Magnus Calder’s palm struck Kael across the face without hesitation. Adrian Voss did the same to Lucian. The force of the blows sent both young men staggering. “Kneel!” Magnus barked coldly. “Hurry and apologize to Mr. Howe!” Adrian’s voice carried an edge that allowed no resistance. Kael and Lucian exchanged a terrified glance. Their arrogance from earlier had vanished completely. In its place was raw fear. They dropped to their knee

The Round Table.In the underground world, the name alone was enough to silence arguments and end blood feuds.No one knew where it originated. No one knew how it was structured. All anyone knew was this—At its peak sat a single figure.King Howe.And anyone who crossed the Round Table met only one ending.Death.Even the Obsidian Tide, with its vast overseas networks and hardened mercenaries, was insignificant compared to that shadow empire.There were countless rumors about King Howe.Some said he could dismantle a global syndicate in a single night.Others claimed he controlled invisible financial currents that could bankrupt nations.Many insisted he was an unparalleled martial expert.But none of it could be confirmed.Because no one had ever seen him.Or rather—No one who recognized him lived long enough to speak about it.When Gideon Ashford received the directive from King Howe to return to Gravemonth City, he had known his opportunity had arrived. The Obsidian Tide had wait
Chapter 107
“Farewell, Mr. Howe!”Gideon Ashford, leader of the Obsidian Tide, along with the chairmen of the three powerful conglomerate families, bent their backs respectfully as Christopher and Anna walked away.Not a single person dared to stop them.Christopher didn’t even glance back. Holding Anna’s hand, he calmly walked out of the grand hall as if nothing significant had happened.The heavy doors slowly closed behind them.For a moment, the entire venue was silent.Then Gideon Ashford straightened his back and turned toward Darius.His expression was icy cold.“From this moment onward,” Gideon said slowly, his voice echoing across the hall, “the Obsidian Tide will launch a full-scale attack on the Iron Serpent.”His declaration fell like a thunderbolt.Without waiting for Darius to respond, Gideon turned around.“Let’s go.”Hundreds of Obsidian Tide members followed him out of the hotel in disciplined formation, their presence radiating hostility.Before long, only the corporate chairmen

One of the men stepped forward and asked respectfully, “Mr. Kane, the Obsidian Tide and the Silver Vulture are attacking fiercely. What should we do now?”Darius snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.“We’ll meet force with force. Do you think a few reckless fools can shake the Iron Serpent?” he said arrogantly.The Iron Serpent had ruled Gravemonth City for over a hundred years. Its influence ran deep throughout the city—within businesses, officials, and the underground world. To Darius, the sudden aggression of the Obsidian Tide and Silver Vulture was nothing more than an impulsive challenge.Even if the two forces joined hands, destroying the Iron Serpent would not be easy.His face hardened.“Issue my order. From this moment on, raise the Iron Serpent’s security to the highest level. Every property, every territory, every stronghold must be guarded!”“Yes, Mr. Kane!” the woman replied immediately before hurrying away to carry out the orders.The man beside Darius hesitated

Darius’s sharp eyes narrowed as he glared at Needle. “Why are you telling me all this?” he demanded, his voice low and measured. Needle’s jaw clenched, his tone dripping with urgency and steel. “Christopher killed Master Victor, and now he’s crossed you. I want you to take him out, to avenge Master Victor!” A cold, humorless chuckle escaped Darius. “Huh.” His laugh carried both disdain and calculation. Needle’s words were clearly motivated by more than just loyalty or concern—he had an angle. But Darius didn’t need convincing; Christopher had personally meddled in his affairs, and now that the threat was real, Darius’s desire to see him removed burned fiercely. “Christopher has mysterious and complicated connections,” Darius said slowly, his expression tightening. “Killing him won’t be as simple as you think.” Yet there was no denying the cold desire in his eyes. He knew a man capable of killing Victor wasn’t ordinary. Even Needle, a figure of renown in his own right, had dared

“Hahaha!” Henry burst into loud laughter as he looked sharply at Mr. Grey. “So tell me,” he said with interest, “how exactly does the Iron Serpent plan to deal with Christopher?” Mr. Grey remained calm as he answered. “Our plan is simple. The Iron Serpent will keep Christopher occupied in Gravemonth City. Meanwhile, the Lancaster family will dispatch forces to seize Aurethia City and Lisle City.” He paused briefly before continuing. “Once your forces create chaos in those cities, Christopher will have no choice but to divide his attention. With his base collapsing behind him, he will be trapped here in Gravemonth City.” Mr. Grey’s voice lowered slightly. “At that point, the Iron Serpent will strike and eliminate him. A perfect pincer attack.” The plan was ruthless. If Christopher were pinned down in Gravemonth City, he would be unable to return to Aurethia City or Lisle City to stabilize the situation. And if chaos erupted in those cities—especially if anything h
