Inside his luxurious, multi-million-dollar penthouse manor, Zoning Board Chairman Silas was frantically packing gold bullion into leather suitcases.The heavy yellow bricks hit the bottoms of the bags with a loud, metallic sound.His hands were shaking like crazy, and his expensive silk shirt was completely soaked with wet grease.His phone flashed with dozens of missed calls from Duke Maxim, signaling that the Emerald Pavilion ambush had failed.The small black screen just blinked over and over with a bright red warning sign.Every single call meant that his bad friends were falling into a giant pool of deep ruin."Dammit! I shouldn't have trusted the Sterlings' fake promises!" Silas cursed, his corrupt face drenched in cold sweat."They told me that the country boy Dustin Grey was nothing but a weak little dog from the slums!""They said his gold ring had no real power against the big syndicate killers from across the ocean!""Now all the grave-diggers are dead, and my own neck is s

The glowing presentation screen displays Director Harrison Vance sitting inside a cold, gray High Tribunal interrogation cell.The big old man on the television screen looked so sad, his white coat dirty and his face full of big wet tears.He did not have his platinum cane anymore, and his hands were locked tight in heavy iron cuffs."The National Medical Bureau has officially revoked the Genesis Drug’s safety distribution licenses," Harrison announces on screen, weeping."The drug is very bad, and it is a total fake! It will kill anyone who puts it inside their body lines!""I confess... my bureau accepted three hundred million in bribes from Duke Maxim to falsify the clinical trial data.""We wrote the fake papers on our desk boxes because we wanted to steal all the gold coins for our family," he sobbed."Dustin Grey is the true master, and our bad choices have turned our name into useless air today!" the old director cried out.The entire convention hall goes completely, terrifying

Two hours later, inside the fully restored, high-security medical wing of the magnificent luxury Vanguard Tower.The big black trucks stood quiet down on the street, and all the bad people were gone.The grand palace room was clean, with nice white walls and heavy steel doors that kept out every bad sound.The morning sun streams through the panoramic glass windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the serene room.The yellow light made the soft carpet look very bright, warming up the clean bed sheets.Everything was quiet and safe, like a beautiful dream after a very long, scary storm night.Mrs. Grey slowly opens her eyes, her sightless, scarred pupils completely healed and shining with perfect, vibrant clarity.The dark black lines that had blocked her light for six long years were totally gone now.Her hazel eyes were wide open, looking very pretty and bright as they caught the morning sun.She looks around the luxurious suite in absolute wonder, her gaze finally landing on Dustin

At midnight, the private subterranean tarmac beneath Vanguard Tower was illuminated by hundreds of flashing tactical floodlights.The bright white lamps blinked fast, making the dark underground room look like a giant palace of bright lights.The thick concrete floorboards shook up and down from the heavy weight of the big war machines.Twelve heavy, armored military-grade transport helicopters sat with their massive rotor blades spinning in a synchronized roar.The big black wings cut the air with a very loud chop-chop-chop sound that made the ears feel tight.The hot gas wind blew all over the floor, creating a thick white exhaust mist that smelled like hot iron fuel.Five thousand elite Vanguard commandos, dressed in full black tactical battle armor, stood in perfect, flawless military formation.They stood in ten long rows, their iron face masks shiny under the big flashing floodlights.They held their long black machine guns very tight across their chests, not moving a single mil

The massive, reinforced iron gates of the Dragon-Gate Fortress burst inward with a loud boom as Dustin Grey walked into the grand courtyard.The heavy black metal split wide open, throwing big chunks of iron left and right across the wet stone floorboards.The rain fell very hard from the dark sky, hitting the cold ground over and over like a scary drum beat.At the center of the stone courtyard stood a high, wooden execution scaffold where his loyal young cousin, Lily Grey, hung bound by heavy steel chains.The thick metal wires wrapped tight around her small arms and legs, making a sharp clinking sound when she shivered from the wind.Her school dress was torn and dirty from the long mountain ride, her face covered in white dust and hot running tears."Dustin! Run! It’s a massive trap! There are thousands of them hidden in the shadows!" Lily Grey shrieked frantically, her face covered in tears."They have big guns inside the stone cave walls, and they have long knives waiting to cut
