CHAPTER 97 PART 2
But Aaron, slumped against the concrete barrier with Dominic beside him, knew better. That wasn't elder brother's style. Marcus Steel fought directly, overwhelmingly, with dragon power that made subtlety unnecessary.This was something else. Someone else."Fall back!" Cameron ordered desperately. "Regroup! Everyone to—"Another dart. Another scream. Another mercenary down.The remaining fighters—now reduced to twelve—formed a defensive circle, their backs together, weapons pointing outward in all directions. But the darts kept coming from impossible angles, as if the attacker could be in multiple places simultaneously."Please!" One mercenary dropped his weapon, raising his hands in surrender. "I give up! I surrender! Don't kill me!""Coward!" Cameron snarled. "Pick up your weapon and—"The mercenary collapsed, a dart in his neck despite his surrender. The message was clear: mercy wasn't an option."This is your fault!" Cameron screamed at Aaron. "You and Steel! You brought this on us
CHAPTER 98 PART 1
Leopold River Highway - Old Industrial District - 8:37 PMMarcus Steel's BMW screeched to a halt on the bullet-riddled asphalt, tires smoking from the impossible speeds he'd maintained through Grayson City's streets. He was out of the car before it fully stopped, his dragon senses immediately locking onto Aaron Jackson's fading heartbeat in the darkness beyond the tree line."Aaron!" Marcus's voice carried both command and desperate concern as he sprinted toward the concrete barrier where his brother lay slumped and bleeding.Aaron's eyes fluttered open at the sound, focusing with difficulty on Marcus's approaching form. Blood covered half his face. His right hand was cut and bleeding. His ribs—Marcus could sense at least three broken from the way Aaron's breathing hitched with each inhale."Elder brother," Aaron gasped, managing a weak smile through split lips. "You're... late. Traffic?""Shut up," Marcus said, his voice rough with emotion he rarely allowed himself to show. He knelt
CHAPTER 98 PART 2
Marcus and Quinn's Apartment - 9:15 PMMarcus approached their apartment building with every sense on high alert, his dragon perception mapping the entire structure for threats. Security cameras had been adjusted—he could tell someone had accessed the system recently. Certain shadows in the parking garage looked slightly wrong, suggesting watchers had been positioned there recently.Still being hunted. Still being watched.He took the stairs instead of the elevator, moving with predatory silence that made no sound despite his speed. When he reached their floor, he paused at the door, his dragon senses detecting heartbeats inside.Three. Not one.Quinn plus two others.Marcus's hand went to the concealed weapon at his waist as he unlocked the door with his key, pushing it open slowly.The living room lights were on. Quinn sat on the couch, her cold indifference restored but her Saintess aura still flickering with nervous energy. And standing beside her—Karen Ridge and Brandon Hartford
CHAPTER 99 PART 1
Marcus and Quinn's Mansion - Grayson Heights District - 9:47 PMThe mansion Marcus had purchased three months ago—a sprawling estate in Grayson City's most exclusive neighborhood—sat quiet under the moonlight, its modern architecture gleaming with understated wealth. Quinn had fallen in love with it immediately: floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, a master suite larger than most apartments, security systems that would make a bank jealous.It was their sanctuary. Their private space away from family drama and corporate warfare.Until Karen Ridge and Brandon Hartford invaded it.Marcus stood in the grand foyer, his jaw clenched with barely restrained irritation, watching Quinn's parents examine their home with the critical eyes of people evaluating property they believed should rightfully be theirs.Karen Ridge—Quinn's mother—walked through the living room like a conquering general, her sharp eyes cataloging every expensive piece of furniture, every original artwork on the wa
CHAPTER 99 PART 2
His hand intercepted Karen's wrist with dragon-enhanced speed, stopping her grip before it could fully close on Quinn's arm. The pressure he applied—carefully controlled despite his fury—made Karen gasp in genuine pain."You don't," Marcus said quietly, his dragon eyes beginning to glow with golden-red fire, "touch my wife. Ever.""How dare you put your hands on me!" Karen tried to jerk free, but Marcus's grip was immovable. "Brandon! Do something! This animal is—"Brandon Hartford, who'd been silent throughout the entire confrontation, finally spoke. "Marcus, please. Just let her go. You're making this worse.""I'm making this worse?" Marcus's laugh held no humor. "Your wife barges into my home uninvited, insults Quinn repeatedly, makes demands like she owns the place, tries to physically grab my wife—and I'M making this worse?"He released Karen's wrist, and she stumbled backward, clutching the reddened skin."You'll regret this," Karen hissed. "We'll tell everyone what you really a
CHAPTER 100 PART 1
Marcus and Quinn's Mansion - 10:23 PMThe grand foyer had barely stopped echoing with the sound of the door closing behind Karen and Brandon when Karen's voice rose from outside, shrill and theatrical."ASSAULT! I've been ASSAULTED! In my own daughter's home!" Karen's shrieking carried through the mansion's thick walls with practiced volume—the kind of performance honed through years of manipulating situations to her advantage. "I'm calling the police! I'm suing! I demand compensation!"Marcus walked to the window, his dragon senses mapping the scene outside with perfect clarity. Karen stood on the circular driveway, clutching her reddened cheek with one hand while the other pointed accusingly at the mansion. Brandon hovered nearby, looking uncomfortable but saying nothing as usual."She's not actually hurt," Sophia Chen observed calmly from her position near the door. "The slap was controlled—enough to shock but not injure. She's performing for attention.""And money," David Park add
CHAPTER 100 PART 2
Master Suite Study - 11:47 PMMarcus sat at his desk, scrolling through encrypted messages on his secure laptop. Aaron had forwarded intelligence reports throughout the evening—updates on Cameron Brand's movements, potential threats from the Potter family, security assessments for Hartford Group.Then one message made Marcus go absolutely still.DARK WEB BULLETIN - PRIORITY ALERTOpen Bounty: Marcus Steel and Aaron JacksonAmount: $50 million eachSponsor: Anonymous (traced to Swiss accounts linked to Brand family holdings)Status: ACTIVE - 13 Shadow Warrior operatives confirmed en route to Grayson CityThreat Level: EXTREMEMarcus read the details twice, his dragon senses processing implications with cold efficiency. Thirteen Shadow Warriors—elite assassins, each one capable of taking down master cultivators. Fifty million per target meant serious resources, serious commitment.Cameron Brand wasn't just seeking revenge. He was funding a systematic extermination.The list of operative
CHAPTER 101 PART 1
Grayson City General Hospital - 12:47 AMMarcus Steel walked through the sterile white corridors of Grayson City General with measured steps, his dragon senses mapping every heartbeat, every security camera, every potential threat within a hundred-yard radius. The hospital's fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows that matched his darkening mood.Aaron Jackson lay in a private room on the fourth floor, surrounded by enough medical equipment to rival an ICU. Monitors beeped rhythmically, tracking vitals that were stable but concerning. IV lines ran from both arms, pumping fluids and antibiotics to fight off potential infections from his numerous wounds.The legendary crime boss—the man who controlled half of Grayson City's underworld with an iron fist—looked almost fragile wrapped in bandages that covered his torso, arms, and half his face. But his eyes, when they opened at Marcus's approach, blazed with the same defiant fury that had built his empire."Elder brother," Aaron's voice was
CHAPTER 101 PART 2
Titan Group Headquarters - Executive Floor - 1:23 AMOwen Cooper sat behind his massive mahogany desk, staring at the phone in his hand long after Marcus had ended the call. The first direct order from the higher-ups in three years. The first time Marcus Steel had broken his self-imposed silence to utilize resources that most people didn't know existed.Titan Group. Publicly known as a financial conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, controlling interests in technology, real estate, manufacturing, and a dozen other industries. Board members discussed quarterly earnings. Shareholders debated dividends. Business reporters analyzed market strategies.None of them understood what Titan Group really was.At its core, beneath the corporate structure and financial holdings, Titan Group functioned as an enormous intelligence and contact network. Every investment created leverage. Every acquisition brought connections. Every partnership expanded reach into new power circles.Money was the vi
CHAPTER 102 PART 1
Titan Group Headquarters - Owen Cooper's Office - 1:57 AMOwen Cooper's hand shot out, grabbing his secretary Mrs. Patterson by the arm with uncharacteristic violence as she tried to peer through the doorway at the blood-soaked scene inside his office."Out!" Owen snarled, his cultured composure completely shattered. "Get out NOW, and if I hear one word—ONE WORD—about what you saw tonight, I will personally destroy you. Your career, your family, your life. Do you understand?"Mrs. Patterson's face went white. In seven years working for Owen Cooper, she'd never seen him like this—eyes blazing with barely controlled panic, voice carrying genuine threat of violence."I—I didn't see anything, sir," she gasped. "I swear, I didn't—""Then prove it by disappearing," Owen interrupted, practically throwing her toward the elevator. "Go home. Take tomorrow off. Forget this night ever happened."She fled without looking back, her heels clicking frantically against marble floors.Owen slammed his
