Chapter 001
On December 13rd, 2024, which was Black Friday, the sky over Meriland's East Coast International Airport buzzed with helicopters, while thousands of armed soldiers secured every intersection nearby.This intense security was for the arrival of Justin Miller, a four-star general acclaimed for quelling the southern rebellion. Local officials from Riverwood gathered outside the airport anxiously, unaware that Justin had already arrived by taxi secretly."Riverwood, I'm back," Justin said with determination.He muttered in a sarcastic voice, "Daniel Anderson, you never thought I would come back alive, huh? Five years ago, you raped my girlfriend, bribed the judge, and got me imprisoned. Now, it's time for you to pay the price."Seated in the taxi, Justin tightened his fists, fury blazing in his eyes.Five years ago, as a medical student at Meriland Medical College, he dated Emma Flores, the finest girl on campus. At a social event, Daniel, the city councilman's son, tried to violate Emma.

Justin's anger surged, and he decided to confront Emma right away. He turned to his parents and said, "Mom, Dad, I have something to attend to. I'll be right back."Olivia knew Justin was going to Emma and grabbed his arm. "Justin, please, think this through. Your father and I have waited so long for you to be free. We can't risk losing you again."She continued, "You already tangled with the Darkvipers. They won't let this slide. Daniel's got the city government and the courts on his side. We're just ordinary people. We can't fight them. Here, take the money. It's all we have. Hide in another city."With that, she pressed her last few savings into his hand."Mom, trust me. I'll come back safe!" Justin assured her as he made for the door.But Olivia grabbed Justin's leg, pleading, "Listen to me, please! Even if you go, Emma won't marry you. She's marrying Daniel today at the Grandview Hotel.""What? Emma's marrying Daniel?" The news hit Justin like a punch in the gut, intensifying the

Justin's furious voice echoed across the lawn outside the villa. Among the Flores family's friends and relatives, someone recognized him right away. "Isn't that Justin, the guy who went to prison for injuring Mr. Anderson five years ago? What is he doing here?""Yeah, what bad luck to see him here!""Emma's getting married. Why are you here, you criminal? Get lost!" A few relatives from the Flores family started shoving Justin.Emma was caught off guard by Justin's sudden appearance at her bridal shower in a plain T-shirt, with fury written all over his face. Her smile froze. "Ju... Justin, is that you? How did you get out?""Maybe you should ask Daniel. I have been released today," Justin replied angrily, glaring at her.Emma calculated quickly. It had indeed been five years, and hearing this made her uneasy.After Justin went to jail, she sought compensation from his parents, causing Olivia's blindness. If not for Daniel's influence, she might've gone to jail.Now, though nervous, E

Dragonclaw glared at Justin. "I heard you took down Scarface. You've got guts, punk. Now you have two options: either you cut off your hands or I'll kill you!"With that, he stomped on the ground, cracking the cement beneath him.The crowd gasped, a chill running down their spines.Dragonclaw was the leader of the Darkvipers. Once a mercenary, his twisted hobby was dismembering enemies and drinking a glass of fresh human blood each morning. Several dark web videos showed his cruel, bloody methods, making him the most notorious killer in the underworld."Now that Dragonclaw's here, Justin is so dead," someone in the crowd whispered nervously.Hearing that Justin would die soon, Emma sneered, "Justin, Dragonclaw leads the Darkvipers. He's strong enough to take down ten men at once, and he's extremely cruel. So, stop being so cocky. You're gonna die!""Yeah, you didn't think you'd end up like this, right? I'm glad to see Dragonclaw tear you apart, you bastard!" Ava added, her voice gloat
Chapter 005
After much thought, Daniel realized he had to hold off on confronting the Nolan family for now. He thought killing Justin was something well within his ability. He declared coldly, "Alright, I'll let him off the hook today for the sake of the Nolans, but if it happens again, I'll make sure he dies a terrible death."Seeing Daniel gesture at him, Dragonclaw stepped back wisely.Ava noticed Daniel wasn't going to punish Justin, so she slapped her thigh in frustration and warned, "Justin, don't get too cocky. Just because Ms. Nolan saved you today doesn't mean she'll be there in the future as well!""My mom's right. You might get away today, but I doubt your parents will be so lucky," Emma said coldly."Let's not waste any more time, darling. We need to get to the church." Emma shot a malicious look at Justin, feeling uneasy. She blinded Justin's mother in the past and was now marrying Daniel, which drove Justin to fury. She wouldn't be at peace until Justin was dead, worried he might se

"Didn't you just say you've seen this disease lots of times before and that it's easy to treat? If anything happens to my grandfather, I'll kill you!" Audrey grabbed Henry's collar, her eyes blazing with anger.Henry was flustered. He knew all too well that the Nolan family was the most powerful conglomerate in the city, and crossing them meant he would die a horrible death. With no solution in mind, he thought of Justin. 'If that guy had the nerve to challenge me, he might know how to save Mr. Nolan. I should let him try, and if things go wrong, I can shift the blame to him for a medical mishap.'With this in mind, Henry suggested quickly, "Ms. Nolan, how about asking that young man who just left? Maybe he has a solution!"Audrey's eyes widened at Henry's words. Noticing his evasive gaze, she realized he was trying to shift the blame. But with no other options, she decided to turn to Justin for help.Hastily exiting the ward, Audrey found Justin smoking casually in the hallway. She p

"No, it's impossible. Grandpa always said it was just the flu. How could it be poisoning?" Audrey's face went pale as she stared at Justin in disbelief. She wondered who could possibly want to harm her grandfather, but Justin offered no further details."Justin, you must have a way to save him, don't you?" Audrey clung to Justin's arm desperately. Her parents had died in an accident when she was a child, and her grandpa meant the world to her. She couldn't bear losing him too.At that moment, Cillian stirred and opened his eyes to see everyone gathered around him. "Cough, cough... What happened to me?""Grandpa, you're awake! Thank goodness!" Audrey said, tears of relief streaming down her face.Seeing her tears, Cillian was heartbroken. "Don't cry, Audrey. I'm still here.""Grandpa, how long are you going to hide the truth from me? Justin just saved you and told me about the poisoning. You only have three months left!" Audrey's tears flowed again, her eyes full of fear.Cillian was t

Daniel paused for a moment before deciding this was his chance. Justin had humiliated him in front of the Flores family, accusing Daniel of marrying a woman he had dumped. If Audrey hadn't intervened at the time, Justin would not have left the Flores estate alive.Now, with just Justin in the car, it felt like fate had handed Daniel an opportunity. He steeled himself, whispering through gritted teeth, "No need to wait until tomorrow. I'll finish him today."Dragonclaw, sitting beside him, warned him once. "Mr. Anderson, the Nolan family is really powerful. This could lead to trouble with them.""So what?" Daniel dismissed the warning. "Do you think they'd turn against the Andersons over a criminal like Justin? The Nolan family might wield considerable influence and wealth in Riverwood, but the Anderson family is no minor player. In a direct conflict, the Nolans might not be a match for us. I was just avoiding escalating the situation just now."His eyes turned cold as he continued, "B

A thundering shout erupted from Justin, his blue energy flaring around him like a raging fire. Hatred burned in his eyes.The people around him were terrified, their eyes wide with shock as if they had encountered a terrifying beast. When they saw Justin's face, they couldn't believe it. He was supposed to be dead.Trembling with fear, Emma stammered, "Justin? Why are you still alive? I thought the crash killed you!"She stared at Justin in disbelief. The Porsche had flipped, and she had been sure there was no way he could have survived.Pale and horrified, Ava added, "Justin, are you a ghost?""Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still alive. And now, it's your turn to die," Justin replied, his voice cold and filled with menace. His gaze swept over Emma and Ava, making them tremble.Emma couldn't wrap her head around it. How could anyone survive such a car crash?Daniel was equally stunned, remembering vividly how the Porsche had crashed into the flowerbed and almost exploded. Yet here

"Mr. Anderson's furious now. That guy is so dead!""He offended the Anderson family by injuring Daniel. He's asking for it!"The crowd outside the hotel was buzzing with fear."You might have some skills, but can you stand against guns? The moment you walked into my son's wedding, your fate was sealed. Take him down!" Toby shouted, anger distorting his face."Wait!" Just as Justin was about to react, a strong, authoritative voice called out from outside. Everyone turned to see an elderly man with silvery hair and a commanding presence, walking in with a golden cane.Beside him was a graceful, blonde beauty."Who's that? He looks powerful," people whispered.Toby recognized the newcomer and asked coldly, "Cillian, what are you doing here?"Hearing Cillian's name, the crowd was shocked. 'Is this Cillian, the richest man in Riverwood? What is he doing here?' they wondered.Cillian said calmly, "I'm here for two reasons: first, to congratulate Mr. Anderson on his wedding, and second, to a
