The Dragon Lifts His Head
The massive steel gates of Blackgate Prison ground open, the rusted hinges screeching like a dying beast against the silence of the wasteland.Boom.That was the sound of the heavy metal being slammed shut behind me, deepening the finality.Out into the blinding sunlight stepped me, Ethan Wright. Deep breath. The air out here was definitely a different one; no immediate scent of mold, blood, and despair, but freedom.And vengeance.I looked down at my hands-scalloped, calloused, and faint white scars. A past way back, in my hands, was once soft, like a naive college graduate who, six years back in time, believed about family goodness.Five years ago, I had knelt in front of my foster mom, Martha Miller, as she gasped sobbing and begged me to take the blame for her biological son, David. &qout;Ethan, please! David has a bright future! You owe us for raising you. Just take the blame for the hit-and-run. We will treat your wife like a princess. We will wait for you.&qout;I was stupid. I
The Hand That Touched Her
President Lee kicked his limbs up, such that the hue on his face was mottled crimson and purplish in appearance. It skewed about wasting against my shins, his expensive leather shoes doing a poor job at impressing me."Let... let me go...," he wheezed, clawing at my fingers. "I... I will give you money! Ten million! No, twenty million!"The crowd remotely watched in horror. This was President Lee, the CEO of Grand Sky Group, a man who could bring companies to their knees with a phone call. Now, however, he appeared as a fish on a hook."Twenty million?" I cocked an eyebrow, tilting my head. "You think your dirty money can buy back my hand that touched your wife?"I looked at his right hand; the fleshy, sweaty hand that had just lethargically creep up the thigh of Sarah a moment before.System Diagnosis. [Target: Middle-aged male. Overweight. Weak joints.] [Action: Commencing Punishment.]"You like to touch things that don't belong to you," I said calmly. "So you don't need this anymor
Nine Heavens Healing
The black SUV glided through the streets of River City like a silent predator.Thick was the atmosphere inside. Viper drove with a white-knuckled concentration, terrified to make an error; I sat in the back, looking out of the tinted window.Sarah was furthest away from my side, pressed tightly against the door. Her eyes surveyed my hands-the same hands that just so easily snapped a billionaire's bones like twigs."Where are we going?" she whispered. Her voice sounded hoarse."Home," I simply stated.Her gaze fell back to her lap. "We... don't have a home," she whispered. "The Millers took the villa. They took the apartment. They even took your car.""I know.""I'm living in the North District now," she murmured.My eyes narrowed. The North District? That was the slum of River City. It was a place for rats, beggars, and criminals. A place where the drainage system didn't work and the police didn't go."Viper," I commanded. "North District."Viper hesitated, just for a moment, surprise
The Sky Garden and the Falling Sky
Mrs. Higgins held her gaze on me for the next three seconds. Then she threw her head back and cackled. It was the sound of a crow choking on a bone."Buy the building?" She wiped tears from her eyes. "Did you hear that? The convict wants to buy my building! And boy, do you have any idea how much a four-story apartment block is worth in the North District? Even a dump like this would fetch two million!"She pointed a fat, sausage-like finger right at my chest."You probably don't even have two dollars in your pocket! Just a piece of prison trash trying to act tough in front of his wife."She turned on Sarah, her face twisted with mockery. "And you! Trouble! You brought criminals to my decent establishment. Get your bags packed! Five minutes for you to be out, or I will chuck your clothes out through the window!"Sarah trembled, grabbing my arm. "Ethan... let's just go. Please. Don't cause trouble."I didn't move. I stood as still as a mountain."Viper," I said calmly. "Is it done?"Vip
A Tiger Meows at a Dragon
The digital clock on the bedside table read 2:00 A.M.Sarah finally fell asleep, though her breathing was light and rhythmic, her eyebrows still furrowed as if having a bad dream. Watching her for a moment, I held a mask over my face.Then I felt it.An air disturbance. An intention to kill. It felt crude and unrefined, like a colony of angry wasps buzzing around the gates.I rose silently. I made no noise on the wooden floor. I tucked the duvet around Sarah's shoulders and walked out of the bedroom.Viper was already out in the hallway, holding a silenced pistol in a grim face."Lord," Viper whispered. "Perimeter sensors activated. Three vans. Probably fifty men inside. Armed with machetes and steel pipes. Those are the Black Tiger Gang.""Fifty? "I puffed my cuffs, "David really is desperate.""Shall I deploy the squad? Viper asked, flicking the safety off his gun. "We can turn them into swiss cheese before they reach the front door.""No," I said, walking past him toward the main e
The Dragon Sends His Regards
They are to report to River City General Hospital, V.I.P. Ward.The disinfectant was very heavy in the atmosphere.David Miller lay bedridden, right hand in heavy plaster cast, but sweat was drenching his little body with pain, yet on the feverish expectant eyes of the boy.Next to him, Martha Miller peeled an apple with a small knife."And I just got a text," said Martha venomously from their company. "Don't worry, sweetie—the Black Tiger Gang has entered the Villa. Fifty men. Iron Tiger is personally leading them all."He grinned and the grin took more the form of a grimace. "Good. Good! I want Ethan crippled. No, I want him dead! I want him head on a platter!""He will be." Babes soothed him. "Iron Tiger is a monster. No one survives him. By sunrise, Ethan will be history, and then we can take that slut Sarah and sell her to underground brothels to make for our lost stock value."Bang!The door of the V.I.P. room sprang open.David and Martha craned their necks waiting for a doctor
The New King of the Boardroom
Martha Miller stared at the paper on the table in the way people normally looked at venomous snakes. Her hands clawed at the polished wood, scratching it with her nails."Fake..." she whispered. Her voice was tinged with a trembling quality. And then she screamed, "FAKE! This is a forgery! You typed this up in a basement! You think you can come in here and steal my company with just some paper?"She had an absolutely wild look in her eyes as she scanned the room."Don't just sit there!" she screeched at the stunned directors. "He's lying! Security! Chief Wilson! Get in here!"The boardroom doors swung open again.In walked a tall, broad-shouldered man dressed in a uniform. It was Chief Wilson, the head of corporate security. He was on the Miller payroll for the last ten years, mostly doing their dirty work.Martha's face flashed with that triumphant malice of hers. "Wilson! Thank God! Arrest this intruder. Break his legs! Toss him out of the window!"Wilson walked past the shuddering
The General’s Star
I sat in the private garden of the Sky Garden Villa. The air was fresh, smelling of pine and expensive landscaping.Sarah sat directly opposite me with slightly trembling hands as she pushed a heavy wooden box across the stone table."A visitor came while you were at the company," Sarah whispered. "An old man. He said his name was Elder Mo. He said... he said your last name isn't Wright. He said it's 'Yeager'."My hand hesitated mid-air, poised over the teacup.Yeager.That name hit me like a blow in the gut. Five years ago, while at the very depths of Cell 99, my Master-the Old Monster-would look at my bone structure with some confirmation that his insanity was manic. "Boy," he gurgled, "you have the blood of the War Gods! No wonder you survived my training. You are a dragon cub lost in a flock of sheep."I inspected the box. It was made of Black Dragon Wood-a timber so incredibly rare that it was illegal for commoners to own it. It could only be found in the forbidden valleys of the
The Supreme Black Card
Location: Hospital General Clinic River CityGrinning at the ceiling, David Miller was lying on his hospital bed imagining rabbits in the dark cell, being beaten by guards."That trash," David chuckled, reaching for his water with his good hand. "By now, Griggs has probably thrown him into solitary confinement. I win."Bang!The door to the VIP room simply flew off its hinges.David jolted, spilling water all over himself. "Who is it? I told the nurses not to disturb—"Captain Griggs stormed in without a smile. He was sweating, and his eyes widened with terrible desperation. Behind him, four officers stampeded in with their black batons drawn."Griggs?" David frowned. "Why are you here? Did you arrest him? Did you break his legs like I asked?"Without answering him, Griggs walked straight to the bed. He grabbed David by the collar of his hospital gown and yanked him down to the floor.Thud."Ow! My arm! My leg!" David screamed, writhing on the cold tiles. "Griggs! Are you crazy? I'm D
The Heart of the Ocean
The heavy glass doors of L'Amour Boutique swung open.A woman stepped out.The streaming crowd in the Royal Plaza came to a freezing halt. Talks ceased. Heads turned.No longer was Sarah Wright a lowly figure in a faded cotton dress; she was regal.A midnight-blue evening gown of silk exquisitely draped her delicate frame to the floor, like a cascade of liquid stars. The gown glistening under the lights of the mall. Her heels, encrusted with crystals, clicked imperiously on the marble floor. The hair that had been knotted up back into a bun was now let down, with soft waves falling around her shoulders.She didn't look like an inhabitant of a slum; she looked like the Queen of River City.I walked beside her, my hand casually placed on the small of her back. Clothed in black, I allowed a dissatisfied gaze for the awed faces of the passing public."Ethan," Sarah whispered, flushing a little. "Everyone is staring. Is it... too much?""It is exactly enough," I said. "Lift your head. You
