The Queen's Claim Above the Clouds and Mirage City's Welcome
The Sterling Corp bulletproof limousine sped through the city streets toward the private runway. In the luxurious backseat, the silence was so thick it could be cut with a knife.Seraphina sat with her legs crossed, her gaze thrown out the dark tinted window. Her porcelain face appeared perfectly calm, but the ambient temperature plummeted, leaving a faint trail of frost on the leather seat beside her. The Ice Queen was consumed by a burning jealousy, causing the Pure Yin Qi within her to react wildly.Silas Thorne, sitting casually beside her, noticed. The Tyrant offered a faint smile, an expression exceedingly arrogant yet indulgent. He reached out with his large hand and enveloped Seraphina's freezing fingers."Still thinking about that name?" Silas whispered, his baritone voice shattering the silence.Seraphina turned. Her blue eyes sharpened like ice razors. "Victoria. The East Coast conglomerate heiress who kicked you to the curb when your family was destroyed five years ago...
A Rain of Death Needles
The dry desert night wind blew, carrying with it a suffocating tension across Mirage City's private runway.Hearing Silas's arrogant remark, treating a hundred gun muzzles as a mere "warm-up," the man in the white suit burst into raucous laughter. A hollow laugh full of mockery."A warm-up? Do you think you're in a boxing gym, Thorne?!" the mafia boss barked, tossing his cigar onto the asphalt. "Fire! Turn him into a honeycomb!"Dozens of red laser dots from the hangar roof instantly converged on Silas's forehead and chest. Fingers on the triggers of assault rifles were pulled simultaneously.However, time seemed to slow down in Silas's gray eyes. The Divine Nerve within his veins resonated, detonating a long-dormant energy. Silas didn't dodge, nor did he summon a shield. He merely stomped his right foot hard against the steel steps of the Gulfstream jet.CLANG!An invisible shockwave erupted from his footing, vibrating the entire fuselage of the aircraft. From beneath his bespoke bla
The Ex-Fiancée's Reunion
The pitch-black Phantom Sovereign SUV glided smoothly through the asphalt streets of Mirage City. Outside the bulletproof glass windows, the glittering neon lights of the desert sin city began to blind the eyes, contrasting sharply with the night's darkness.Inside the spacious and luxurious passenger cabin, the atmosphere felt incredibly relaxed, standing in stark contrast to the suffocating tension in the driver's seat.Seraphina leaned her back against Silas's embrace, her slender fingers holding a crystal glass filled with expensive champagne she had poured from the car's mini-bar. Silas gently stroked Seraphina's bare shoulder, his gray eyes staring straight into the rearview mirror, locking directly onto the eyes of the former mafia boss who was now their driver.The man in the white suit drove with a body as stiff as a walking corpse. Cold sweat the size of corn kernels continuously dripped down, soaking his collar, while the faint stench of urine from his wet trousers lingered
The Casino's Gates of Hell
The metallic chime of the silver ring hitting the marble floor was soft, but its effect was like an atomic bomb to Victoria.The woman in the gold dress widened her eyes in horror at the dried bloodstains clinging to Jonathan Thorne's heirloom ring. Terror, humiliation, and explosive anger instantly shattered her mask of elegance."Kill him! Shoot them all to pieces!" Victoria screamed hysterically, pointing at Silas with a trembling finger.A hundred elite mercenaries guarding the entrance of The Obsidian Casino immediately raised their fully automatic assault rifles. However, before a single trigger could be pulled, an incredibly dense, freezing chill swept across the marble steps."Rex, hold your fire," Silas commanded calmly, the corner of his lips lifting as he watched Seraphina release his hand and step forward.The Ice Queen stared down the hundred gun muzzles with blue eyes that glowed mystically. Pure Yin Qi energy erupted from her dantian. Seraphina merely flicked her right
The Extraction Machine
In the subterranean depths of The Obsidian Casino, unimaginable luxury unfolded before the eyes. Thousands of Lumina crystals hung from the ceiling, illuminating hundreds of billionaires, elite mafiosos, and underworld kingpins seated on red velvet sofas.On the marble stage, the Auctioneer held up a glass vial containing a faintly glowing, silvery fluid."Seventy million dollars from Mr. Romanov! Do we have a higher bid for this Jonathan Thorne's Spinal Fluid?!" the Auctioneer shouted, his face flushed with the euphoria of greed.DING.The crisp chime of the VIP elevator bell cut through the clamor of the auction hall. All eyes turned toward the glass elevator doors slowly sliding open, expecting the late arrival of a ridiculously wealthy guest of honor.However, it was not an arrogant billionaire who emerged.WHOOSH! CRASH!The body of a woman, clad in the bloody shreds of a ruined gold dress, was hurled out of the elevator with the speed of a bullet. The body flew through the air a
The Medical Time Bomb and the Suppressed Seal
A brilliant light of gold mixed with blood-red erupted from beneath the skin of Silas Thorne's neck and arms. The Fourth Seal, the energy shackle that had long locked away his true potential, began to fracture under the crushing pressure of his boundless fury.The alabaster stage beneath Silas’s feet crumbled to dust. The air around him violently swirled, forming a savage vortex of a Qi storm that shredded the remnants of the giant velvet curtains.With pitch-black eyes radiating absolute death, Silas raised his right hand. He was primed to unleash a single, devastating punch that would obliterate the medical reactor, reap the lives of everyone in the room, and bring The Obsidian Casino crashing down to its very foundations.Yet, just a fraction of a second before that apocalyptic energy slipped from his fist, Silas’s "Medical God Eyes" caught a fatal anomaly.His vision, possessing a clarity that far surpassed any microscope, pierced through the green fluid inside the tank. Hidden be
Absolute Zero and the Steel-Shattering Resonance Needle
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!Emergency red lights spun wildly, sweeping across the deathly pale faces inside the underground auction hall that had now transformed into a massive coffin.The room's temperature began to spike drastically. The blistering heat from the evidence-incineration furnace warming up behind the walls started to roast their skin. Four minutes remaining.Panic erupted. The surviving billionaires and elite mafiosos began pounding on the one-meter-thick steel door until their knuckles bled. But The Obsidian Casino's vault door didn't budge; it was designed to withstand a ballistic missile strike, let alone the fists of ordinary men."This is all your fault, Silas Thorne!" shrieked an Eastern European billionaire, pointing at Silas with a face contorted by the terror of impending death. "If you hadn't ruined this auction, we wouldn't be trapped in here! Kill him! If we kill him, maybe the casino's security system will abort the detonation!"Fueled by absolute despair, the rem
The Soul Severing Mist
The fierce desert night wind of Mirage City howled, carrying the dust and the acrid stench of smoke from the ruined lobby of The Obsidian Casino.Beneath the blinding glare of the attack helicopters' searchlights, the President of the Western Region Divine Healers Association, a young man with silver hair, smiled in absolute triumph. Hundreds of gun barrels from his elite mercenary forces had locked onto their target."Such a heartbreaking tragedy," the President mocked, his voice amplified across the entire area. "Silas Thorne, a deranged terrorist who blew up a casino and murdered hundreds of the elite. This news will be broadcasted across every national channel in five minutes. You have no way out."Silas stood tall, cradling his father, his face as cold as eternal permafrost. However, before he could retort, a muffled groan was heard from his side.Thud.Seraphina Sterling, the Ice Queen feared throughout the business world, suddenly fell to her knees on the glass-strewn asphalt.
The Heaven-Reversing Needle
Time seemed to grind to an absolute, agonizing halt.The massive silver energy claw unleashed by the Association President tore through the air with an ear-piercing shriek. Its sole target: to obliterate the heart of Silas Thorne, who was currently paralyzed by a severe meridian backlash and weighed down by his father's frail body.The claw of death was now less than a hand's breadth away from Silas's chest. The freezing, murderous Qi of a Peak Grandmaster had already shredded his black dress shirt.There was no time to dodge. No room to counterattack.Yet, in that razor-thin margin between life and death, a hulking black shadow lunged from the side with a speed that defied all common sense.SHLUCK!The sickening crunch of tearing flesh and shattering bone echoed loudly. A geyser of fresh blood sprayed, splattering across Silas's deathly pale face.It wasn't Silas's chest that had been pierced.Rex, the loyal right hand who was always as silent as a shadow, had hurled his own massive
The Terror of a Half-Step Martial Saint
The night wind of Mirage City seemed to grind to a dead halt. The air suddenly felt as thick as sludge.Massive marble boulders from the ruins of The Obsidian Casino, weighing tens of tons, levitated into the air, defying earthly gravity, before silently disintegrating into fine dust.From the bottom of the smoldering crater, a figure slowly ascended to the surface. He didn't jump, nor did he climb. The figure literally floated, entirely defying the laws of nature.Silas held his breath. His sharp eyes locked onto the figure.It was a man who looked like a walking corpse. He wore the tattered and age-rotted remnants of a 19th-century European aristocratic coat. His skin was ashy gray, like dried parchment clinging to bone, yet it exuded a toxic metallic sheen. Ten rusted black iron chains, as thick as an adult's arm, pierced directly through his spine, as if they had bound him to the earth's core all this time.Within his sunken eye sockets burned two spheres of emerald-green fire, th
