The twenty-second floor had no ordinary entrance.The elevator opened directly into the restaurant, and the first thing visitors encountered was neither a hostess nor a reservation desk, but the view stretching beyond floor-to-ceiling glass walls on three sides of the room: Velmont at night, its lights never fully extinguished, spread out below like a living map seen from a height great enough to make it look as though it had been designed for a specific moment.Ronald stepped forward."Altair Restaurant."His voice carried the tone of someone who had introduced this room hundreds of times and yet had never lost his appreciation for the reaction of first-time guests."Tonight, this entire floor has been reserved exclusively for Doctor Voss and his companion."Four servers were already stationed throughout the room. They were not lined up in a formal row, but positioned in a way that made their presence noticeable without making the space feel crowded. The head chef, a man in a pristin

The glass box opened with a soft click.Caelan poured its contents into his palm.Eight fragments of varying sizes, the largest no bigger than two finger joints. Their turquoise-green glow remained steady beneath the terrace lights, not the kind of radiance that depended on angles or reflections, but one that seemed to originate from deep within the material itself.A beautiful stone.But its appearance was not what interested Caelan.Beneath that visible beauty was something that could only be perceived by someone whose senses had developed far enough to detect it—a pressure so subtle it was like a low-frequency sound that ordinary ears could not hear, yet could be felt in the chest by those who knew how to listen. Spiritual energy stored within an incredibly dense material, compressed by millions of years of geological processes that no laboratory could ever hope to replicate.People traded this stone as a rare commodity because of its beauty, its hardness, and its unmatched green b

The skies above Velmont were clear when Caelan stepped out of The Grandeur.The air felt fresher than usual.Or perhaps that was simply how a body that had advanced to a higher level perceived the world. Everything seemed slightly sharper, slightly clearer, with details that had once lingered at the edge of his senses now available without effort.Fifth Realm, Second Level.Still far from the peak.But farther than yesterday.And yesterday had already been farther than the week before.Of course, it still wasn't enough.He knew that without needing to remind himself. It wasn't pessimism, but the calculation of someone who understood the kind of enemies moving toward him and how much ground remained to be covered before they ceased to be a concern.Still, for this morning, he allowed himself to feel a little better than he had yesterday.The coffee waiting on his desk was prepared at exactly the right temperature and color when he entered his office.Caelan sat down, opened the patient

Realizing that seduction was useless against this man, Elder Xiao lifted her right foot slightly—a movement so subtle that, to anyone who didn't know what to look for, it would have appeared to be nothing more than a casual adjustment of posture.The heel of her right shoe pressed against the tip of her left.At precisely the right spot.With precisely the right amount of pressure.A faint click sounded.From the tip of her right shoe, a three-centimeter blade slid into view.Thin.Dark.Its sheen differed from ordinary metal because of the dried coating covering its surface—a coating that had lost none of its lethality.One cut against the skin.One second for the toxin to enter the bloodstream.Five seconds for the nervous system to react.The target would never have time to understand what had happened before their body decided to stop functioning.Xiao spun.A swift rotational movement, her raised right leg serving as the axis of the attack. The exposed blade at the tip of her sho

She was fast. Faster than Elder Dun. Her movements were cleaner, more efficient, stripped of every unnecessary motion. There was no wasted energy, no flourish without purpose. Every strike naturally flowed into the next, each attack already positioned to become another. The black qi coating her body served not only as reinforcement but as armor, concealing openings and making vulnerable points far more difficult to exploit.She was a veteran.Someone who had survived and fought through hundreds of battles.Caelan could feel it in every movement she made.But Caelan was now at the Second Level of the Fifth Realm.Every attack Xiao launched became apparent to him nearly half a second before it happened.Not through prediction in the conventional sense.Not through superior technique alone.It was simply the difference in perception between their realms.His awareness had already surpassed the limits of a Peak Fourth Realm cultivator. Fighting her felt like rereading a book he had alread

Before the window shattered, Elder Lu had already been waiting on the roof of the Aurelian since early morning.The plan had been simple.Xiao would enter as a patient, incapacitate the target, and bring him out. Lu would remain above, ready to assist with the extraction if necessary.No major commotion.No unnecessary attention.Clean. Efficient.But Xiao's signal never came.The agreed-upon time had already passed by twenty seconds.Realizing something was wrong, Lu moved.He descended from the rooftop, landed on the exterior of the building, and shifted into a position that gave him a clear line of sight through the target's office window.What he saw caused the temperature in his chest to drop a degree.Xiao was sitting in a chair.Motionless.Unconscious.Lu wasted no more time.---"To incapacitate Elder Xiao in less than two minutes..."Lu stood in the middle of the office, surrounded by the shards of glass he had just blasted inward.His eyes remained fixed on Caelan."You're

It was ten o'clock at night.A black Lamborghini Huracán pulled out of The Grandeur and headed south, leaving behind the brightly lit downtown district. The car passed through increasingly sparse neighborhoods until it reached the edge of the Harbor District, where the air carried a mixture of sea salt and something harder to identify—something that had lingered there for so long that it had become part of the district's atmosphere.Caelan parked in front of a building that had no sign whatsoever.Its gray walls appeared deliberately neglected—not because the owners lacked the money to maintain them, but because a low profile was the best way to survive in a business like this.No signboard.No neon lights.Just a steel door guarded by two large men wearing suits that were far too polished for ordinary security guards.Black Viper Club.Caelan stepped out of the car, retrieved a black briefcase from the passenger seat, and walked toward the entrance at an unhurried pace.The two guard

Caelan reached for the stacks of chips in front of him.All of them. Not a single chip remained on his side of the table. Then he pushed the entire pile onto 18. Again.The dealer froze.So did the two attendants standing behind Caelan.The value of the chips now sitting on that single square was just shy of one million dollars.Nine hundred and eighty thousand, to be exact.All of it placed on a single number.For a single spin."S-Sir... are you certain?"One of the attendants finally found his voice. He was trying to sound composed, but the effort wasn't entirely successful.Caelan glanced at him."Is there a problem?""N-No, sir."The man swallowed."It's just... that's an extremely large wager for a single spin."Caelan leaned back in his chair."Losing a million dollars means nothing to me."His gaze shifted toward the roulette wheel."The ones who should be worried are the people running this place."His tone remained calm."If I win a straight-up bet of this size, Black Viper

At the end of a corridor not on Black Viper Club's official floor plan, behind an iron door that could only be opened from the inside, was a room that regular guests had never seen.Damien Cross sat on a long sofa with a stack of documents in one hand and a glass in the other. On his lap, a woman in a bikini leaned against his shoulder, whispering in a tone whose purpose was obvious, but Damien didn't respond. His attention was entirely on the numbers in the documents.Good numbers. Very good.Last night alone, Black Viper Club had pulled in more than usual. Three new tables opened, two big players who came in and didn't leave until morning, and several old debtors who were finally pushed to keep playing until their debts had multiplied.A system that had been running for years, and had never failed.He shifted his gaze to the corner of the room.There, in a chair with hands bound behind the back, sat a young man with a face already bruised in several places. On the left cheek, below

Damien looked at Caelan in a way that no longer hid anything behind it. "You come to my place, without money to buy back whoever you're looking for, and instead choose to make a scene at my table? You've really got some nerve.""I'm using the same method you use every night." Caelan didn't move from his chair. "You've built a system that ensures everyone who sits at your tables has no way to win. You keep them playing with the illusion that this time it's their turn, while your machines take the rest." His eyes stayed on Damien. "The only difference is one thing. I don't hide what I'm doing."Around the table, the situation shifted.One by one, several large-bodied men drifted from their positions around the room toward closer proximity to this table. Nobody spoke, nobody drew anything. But the way they stood was already enough to communicate that they were waiting for just one thing.One word from Damien.Damien raised his hand slightly, a signal immediately understood and obeyed. Th
