An abandoned, burnt-down mansion stands, with yellow tape cordoning off the whole place, a considerable figure over six feet two inches tall standing over what remains of the building. A striking jawline, muscles that made him look like a god. His piercing hazel-blue eyes and fixed posture made him an intimidating figure. Dressed in a long crimson coat, he stood there with the wind blowing through his jacket. “Father, Mother…I'm home,” he whispered, looking around. The memories flooded his mind; it wasn't what he would imagine witnessing at that young age. It was twelve years ago, on his sister's birthday, and they were trying to hold on to the joy. His father made sure everything was made to make her happy, and then it happened. Flaming arrows came flying in from outside. Hidan Vermillion stood in the way, trying to make sure that no one in his family would get hurt. 'Alara, get the children out of here!’ He roared, pulling his blade out, not trying to make sure that nothing w

“Oi, I don’t have all day!” A voice echoed from behind the men standing there. A man stepped out with his own hammer. A cigar in his lips, smoke puffing in and out, his eyes glitting like a criminal’s. “I could be at the Bohrs’ party, there are a lot of drinks and women there to suit my taste, but instead I am here with a man I dont know where the hell he spawned from!” he exhaled smoke. “I am now stuck here, trying to do some work, while a creep is in my goddamn way!” Another man stepped in front of Rhys with a scowl on his face. “Now you pissed the boss off, Mr. Ross isn't in the best mood now, so I would want you to make sure you get on your knees and beg for his mercy, or I am going to bash your head in.” The man was staring at Rhys, without even taking his head low. He took one step back, spitting on Rhys’s shoe.“I said get on your knees!” The man roared, looking at Rhys. It wasnt clear how things were going to head down. Rhys was silent, looking down at his shoe. His silen

Ross’s ray of hope slowly faded away. He heard what Rhys said, and the way he spoke told him it wasnt a joke. ‘He’s a PSYCHO!’ He tried to move away, but then he saw Rhys stand up to look at his men; the realisation hit him. “All of you mocked my family and said that they deserved to die. “ He spoke slowly as he stretched his hand, and one of the warriors handed him a long sword. “I will now pass judgment, and I will find all of you…” Rhys swung the blade in a swift slash. Suddenly, all the thugs standing there, all except Ross, were instantly cut down. “Guilty.”Ross stood there, his skin slowly turning pale. Still looking around to see if it was a dream, but the bodies were around him as evidence to show that it wasn't a dream. He turned to look at Rhys, but all he could see was a monster in front of him.“Please, forgive me. I was only following orders. I never had anything planned out here.” Ross cried, tears and mucus making it hard for his words to come through. “I don't

Rhys had reached the Talon Wing Hotel, parking his car in a spot that looked like it was reserved for someone important. Getting out of his car, he carefully arranged himself as he walked in, his face expressionless. “Hey, you!” A voice echoed from behind. Rhys turned to see a man in a corporate suit standing beside him, two beauties at his side, anger in his eyes as he walked over to Rhys. Behind him was a car, the engine was still fired up, from the looks of things. Rhys had taken up his parking spot. “Move your filthy car, do you know who owns that parking spot?” The man was looking at Rhys, trying to see if he had seen him anywhere important. “I see ya ain't from around these parts, so I will tell you who owns that spot. It belongs to Lord Kirk, so the last thing you would want to do is mess with him. His family is good friends with the Bohrs, so I will suggest that you dont make any mistake of trying to push his buttons.” He took a glance at the spot where he'd parked his

“What was that blow?” Austin pushed himself up, looking at Rhys, and the only thing he could see was an immovable object. Rhys stood there staring at Austin with pure rage. “Did he just hit the head of Bohr's family security?” “He is asking for his death now, how can one be so stupid?!” “I dont even know who he is, but there has to be a chance that he is a fool.”Rhys, trying to ignore the noise, turned to look at the necklace. He placed his hand on the case again. Right up in the VIP section, a man with long, curly brown hair sat at a monitor, two women beside him running their hands through his shirt. Jacob Bohrs, standing beside him, was a man in a long blue robe, its jade embroidery. The man was silent, but his aura was intimidating; it made it clear he was a force to be reckoned with. Admiral Sunny of the Zenovian Crest, a man known to be the founder of the renowned move called the Thundering Diamond kick. “Who is that bastard?” Jacob spat as he stared at the screen. Sun

Jacob and Admiral Sunny ran down the stairs to see Rhys holding Justin up with one hand like it was a doll in his hand. “That is enough from you, put him down!” Admiral Sunny looked at Rhys. He knew that there wasn't going to be anything that would make anyone want to disobey his word. Everyone turned to see him. Immediately, the guests at the party looked hopeful upon seeing him. “Admiral Sunny of the Crest! This fool is done for now; he isn't going to hurt Lord Justin anymore!” “He knows better than to make an Admiral his enemy; there is no way for him to make anything happen if he does that!” Rhys turned to look at Sunny, his gaze cold and intimidating. “Sunny, you're the one who sent those men to demolish the burnt-down mansion.” Rhys spoke slowly while applying more pressure to Justin's skull. Muffled screams could be heard from Justin as he tried to break free from the grip. Sunny was looking at Rhys, shocked that he had details about what seemed to be a top-secret missi

Rhys pulled Sunny close with one hand before delivering a concrete-shattering punch to the admiral's chest. The blow sent Sunny flying straight into a pillar that stood right beside Jacob. Everyone knew what was going to happen next; no one waited long to see it come for them. None of the standing guards dared move a muscle; they saw what the man could do to an admiral, so they were not in any league close to the man. Some guests began running for their lives, not even trying to look back, knowing that the moment they wasted time getting away from there, their lives were in danger. Rhys set his gaze on Jacob as he started walking to him. Jacob could see it. Something stood behind the man, the bloodshot look in his eyes, and the dread. “Your name is Jacob Bohrs, that means you’re related to Evans Bohr?” Rhys spoke slowly as he walked to the man. Jacob gritted his teeth, knowing that he wasnt meant to be scared of anyone. “Yes, he is my father, and if you know anything, this shou

Rhys had his feet over Jacob's face, looking around to see the empty hall and how everyone had left. “All of them left you to die alone. I wondered who it was that would stay here and let you ruin his life,” he said, looking at Jacob as he added more pressure to his leg, trying to crush Jacob’s skull from the sheer force alone. “Please…dont kill me, I dont want to die here, not like this.” Jacob mutt4ered trying to push himself out of the ground, but the force from Rhys’ hold, he knew that his death was inevitable, and the only way he was going to escape was if there was any chance of him giving him the answer to the question he asked. “I asked you something,” Rhys muttered again, as he added more pressure to the hold. It was killing Jacob slowly. “Do you know anything about my sister Isobel?” “I dont…” Jacob managed to get some words out of his mouth. He was looking at Admiral Sunny, who lay unconscious beside the pillar. “Admiral Sunny would know something about her. He is part
