"I was just following orders!" Brock's voice jumped up an octave, real panic finally breaking through the hard surface he had been holding together. "I didn't do anything wrong! Please, spare me!"Lein didn't blink."Which hand did you use to touch Celine?"Same question. Same tone. As if Brock hadn't said a single word.Brock swallowed, his eyes dropping to both of his hands.Right hand. Left hand.It didn't matter. He knew that. Whichever one he offered up, the outcome was the same. This man wasn't giving him a choice. He was only giving him the illusion of one.A bitter look spread across Brock's already swollen face. His jaw, which felt like it had been packed with burning coal, set itself for the last time.Then, with a movement that was heavy and completely without power, he raised his right hand."This one," he said, his voice rough.Lein looked at that hand for one second, then brought his foot down.CRACK.Not a loud sound, and that was exactly what made it worse. Too specifi

At the Morgan Family Residence, on the third floor.Four figures stood behind a darkened window, looking down at the front yard.Cedric, Vivienne, Silas, and Marsha. They had been waiting for a while now, smiles they made no effort to hide from each other.In their minds, the picture had already assembled itself neatly. Celine would step out of the car with a pale face, short breaths, and news trembling on her lips, that Lein was dead, that the people from The Fang had finished him off in some corner of the city that could never be traced.All they would have to do was pretend to be shocked, pretend to grieve. And three days later, it would all be over.Simple.Clean.Then the gate floodlights came on, and a black sedan rolled slowly into the yard.They all leaned forward slightly.The passenger door opened first.Celine stepped out in her burgundy dress, still perfectly in place, hair still pinned up, and on her face... a smile. A small laugh that hadn't quite settled yet, like someo

Adrian threw his phone onto the table the moment the call with Cedric ended. His hands balled into fists, a heavy breath pushing out through his nose.That bastard is still alive?!He walked two steps forward, turned, walked two steps back. His mind wouldn't sit still. The Fang had never failed. That was the entire reason The Fang was so feared in Silverlake City.Adrian grabbed his phone again and looked up a name he had stored in his contacts for a long time.Jhon Crane. Leader of The Fang. A man who had controlled the underworld of Silverlake longer than most of the mayors this city had ever seen.The call connected within seconds."Adrian?" The voice on the other end was flat and controlled, the voice of someone not accustomed to being caught off guard by any situation."Your people are incompetent!" Adrian's voice exploded without any preamble. "They failed! That bastard is still alive!"A brief silence on the other end."Calm yourself first, Adrian." Jhon's tone didn't shift, di

It didn't take long for the call to connect."Well?" Adrian's voice came through immediately, packed with tension he made no effort to hide. "What actually happened?""You lied to me, Adrian."Jhon's tone didn't explode. It was calm, and that was exactly what made it more dangerous."You said the man named Lein was just an ordinary person. But the truth is he's incredibly strong, capable of taking down five of my best members with frightening ease."Silence.On the other end of the line, Adrian stood frozen in the middle of his office.Lein defeated them? Five of The Fang's best members taken out that easily?Did that mean he wasn't just capable of healing, but capable of fighting too?But how?! Where did all of that ability come from?! How could one person have two sets of skills at the same time?!Adrian shook his head and pushed the questions aside."That's probably because your people are just too weak, Jhon!" His voice hardened. "I already paid you two million dollars! You need t

The next morning, in the dining room of the Morgan Family Residence.Augustus walked into the dining room and stopped.Everyone was already there. Cedric on the left side of the table with a pressed shirt and a controlled expression. Vivienne beside him. Silas and Marsha across from them. Celine at the far end near the window. And Lein, sitting calmly in his chair with a cup of coffee in hand.Augustus took in the scene for a few seconds, then looked at Cedric."You're all agreeing to have breakfast here with Lein now?"Cedric set down his fork, raised his head, and smiled in a way Augustus had never seen him direct at Lein before."Father," he said in a tone that was flat but sounded genuine, "Lein saved my daughter last night. We've all talked it over. We understand now that Lein's presence here is necessary." He paused for a moment. "He's worthy of marrying Celine."His eyes shifted briefly to Lein, then back to Augustus."So let's celebrate."Augustus looked at his son with an exp

Ironwood Carve. The Silverlake Trade District.The building was large. A facade of steel and dark glass, an iron-lettered sign above the main entrance. Inside, it normally held rows of refrigerated displays stretching twenty meters long, cutting benches, and the distinct smell of fresh meat.But this morning, there were no customers. No aproned staff. No hum of refrigeration units. Just a silence that was wrong for a shop at peak hours.And inside that silence, more than two hundred men were waiting.Jhon Crane stood in the middle of the main floor with his hands behind his back, watching the entrance from a distance. Around him, more than a hundred members of The Fang were spread across every corner, behind shelving units, along the corridors, on the upper level looking down.Standing beside him was a man in a leather jacket with a silver chain around his neck. Hair cropped short, his right eye crossed by a horizontal scar that ran from his temple to his cheekbone.Dante Wolfe. Leade

Jhon took one step forward, looking at Lein from a closer distance.He had faced a lot of people in his life. People who were brave, people who were reckless, people who had stopped caring about their own lives altogether.But the man standing in front of him right now was different from all of them.No tension in his shoulders. No sweat on his forehead. No small movement in his fingers, the kind that usually showed up on someone trying to hide their fear.He was genuinely calm. Calm like someone who already knew how this story was going to end."I don't know if you're too brave," said Jhon in a low, controlled voice, "or just too stupid."His eyes didn't blink."But one thing is clear. You're finished."Lein looked at him for a moment, then gave a single nod, as if Jhon's words were nothing more than wind passing through."Alright. Let's make this quick." His hands came out of his pockets, hanging relaxed at his sides. "I have other things to take care of after this. Oh, and pass a m

That silence lasted two seconds.Then Lein's voice broke it."Nobody else wants to attack?"His eyes swept calmly across the room, moving from one face to the next."Then it's my turn."Nobody had time to react.Lein vanished from where he stood.Not moving fast, not running. He genuinely disappeared, like an image erased from one point and reappearing at another, and before anyone's eyes could follow him, he was already standing directly in front of a man in the second row.One straight punch to the chest.SLAM.The man shot backward like a ball kicked with full force, his body hitting the four people behind him, and all four of them went down at once like dominoes touched at the end of the line.Five people.One punch.And Lein didn't stop.He moved left, his elbow rising to connect with the temple of the man coming from that direction. The man spun twice before dropping with his face hitting the floor first. Lein carried the same motion to the right, the back of his hand meeting th

At this point, Lein was walking. His steps were light and unhurried, like someone strolling down a supermarket aisle. And every one of those steps was heading toward one point.Jhon Crane.Not a single person tried to get in the way. Those still standing simply stepped aside, clearing a path automatically, self-preservation working faster than courage.Jhon watched Lein coming toward him and something he didn't want to name began moving inside his chest.One step back.He hadn't meant to do it, but his feet moved on their own.Lein stopped directly in front of him. The distance between them was no more than a meter. Up close, nothing had changed on that man's face. No victory being shown off. No satisfaction on display. Just a flat, cold calm."You're afraid?"Jhon opened his mouth, but nothing came out. His eyes said what his throat couldn't."Didn't you just conclude earlier that I was finished?"Silence.Jhon swallowed with difficulty.Lein looked at him without blinking."You can

"W-what are you doing?!" Adrian's voice came out with great difficulty, his hands clawing at the grip around his throat. "You d-dare lay a hand on me?! Do you have any idea what the Castellan Family will do to you?!"Jhon looked at him without blinking."Who cares about the Castellan Family?"Flat tone. Not a single tremor in it."You think we're afraid?"His grip tightened for one second, then he threw Adrian's body to the floor.SLAM.Adrian hit the marble with his back and shoulder. He lay there for two seconds, trying to process what had just happened.Jhon stepped into the room, his men following behind him, then the door was closed."Because of you, I've taken enormous losses," said Jhon, his expression full of contempt. "The ten million dollars you paid? That means nothing to me now. The damage I've suffered already goes far beyond that number."He stood over Adrian, looking down at him."Right now, to save The Fang, I have no choice."His eyes didn't blink."I have to break on
