Chapter 11
Ethan stood frozen against the wall. Angry voices filled the lobby. Rich people pointed at him like he was a criminal. Maya’s face was red with rage. Ava and Ryan watched with cold smiles, waiting for him to fall.Then Mr. Jacob Smith’s eyes fluttered open.The room went silent.Smith sat up slowly on the sofa. Color returned to his face. He took a deep breath, then another, like a man who had been drowning and finally reached air. He looked around, confused at first, then his gaze locked on Ethan.“You,” he said, voice stronger than anyone expected. “What did you put in my mouth?”Ethan stepped forward, heart pounding so hard it hurt. “A healing pill. Tier-one strength and recovery. I made it myself.”Maya opened her mouth to shout again, but Smith raised one hand. The entire lobby fell quiet.“I felt my heart stop,” Smith said slowly. “Everything went black. Then something warm spread through my chest. The pain is gone. Completely gone.” He flexed his fingers, then stood up without

The auction room on the second floor was packed. Bright lights shone on the stage. Rich men and women in expensive clothes filled every seat. The air smelled of perfume and money.Ethan stood near the side wall, heart beating fast. Mr. Jacob Smith had kept his word. The nine remaining pills sat in a clear glass case under a spotlight. A large screen behind the stage showed a close-up of the pale gold pills with their orange rings.Maya stood at the back, arms crossed, face still angry. Ava and Ryan sat in the third row, whispering to each other. Every time they looked at Ethan, their eyes were cold.The auctioneer raised his wooden hammer.“Ladies and gentlemen, we begin with a once-in-a-lifetime item. Nine Tier-One Strength and Healing Pills, created by young alchemist Ethan Rivers. Mr. Jacob Smith himself has already tested one and stands before you fully recovered. Starting bid: one hundred thousand dollars.”A hand went up immediately.“One hundred and fifty thousand.”“Two hundre
Chapter 13
Ethan stood in the middle of the hallway, feeling the blood rush away from his face. The words from the nurse echoed in his ears like a bad dream. Sophie was gone. Taken from her hospital bed just minutes after he left.“Who signed the transfer?” Ethan demanded, his voice shaking with sudden rage. He stepped close to the nurse, grabbing the edge of the counter.The nurse backed up, her eyes wide with fear. “I… I don’t know his exact name. He wore a gray suit. He showed official papers with the hospital director's stamp. He said he was a family representative authorized to move her to a private medical facility downtown.”Ethan did not wait to hear another word. He turned on his heel and sprinted toward the elevators.Sterling Holdings. It had to be them. The phone call threatening him had happened only minutes before he found the empty room. They wanted his money, they wanted his recipes, and when he refused over the phone, they took the only person in the world who mattered to him.H
Chapter 14
David laughed out loud, leaning back further in his leather chair. The sound was sharp and empty, full of fake confidence. He took a slow sip of his drink and looked at Ethan as if he were nothing at all. You think you can walk into Sterling Holdings and make demands? David asked, his voice dripping with mock pity. Look at yourself, Ethan. You were nothing ten years ago when our family threw your father out into the street with nothing, and you are still nothing today. You got lucky with some fake auction trick, but this is real life. You don't own us. Ethan did not blink. He took one slow step forward, his eyes locked on his cousin. Where is Sophie? Downstairs in the sub-level medical ward, David said with a cruel grin, setting his glass down on the desk with a sharp click.
Chapter 15
The sound of heavy tactical boots filled the ruined office as a dozen armed guards fanned out across the room, locking down every exit. Victoria Sterling stood at the front, her dark leather coat catching the light of the city below. She looked down at David, who was still scrambling backward on the floor like a frightened dog, then turned her sharp gaze back to Ethan. Put that down, David, Victoria said again, her voice completely calm and deadly. David dropped the metal statue with a loud clatter. He scrambled to his feet, pointing a trembling finger at Ethan. Aunt Victoria! He broke in! He destroyed the office and tried to kill me! Make these men shoot him right now! Victoria did not even glance at her nephew. She kept her cold eyes fixed on Ethan.

Chapter 16
The elevator shook violently and stopped dead between floors. The bright overhead lights blinked out completely. Only the dim, red emergency glow remained, casting long shadows across the small metal box. Victoria did not even flinch. She stood her ground in the dark cabin, her dark leather coat brushing against Ethan's arm as the robotic voice echoed from the ceiling speaker about the facility lockdown. It looks like my security team is very efficient, Victoria said, her voice entirely calm. They realized I was compromised and cut the power. We are stuck between floors, Mr. Rivers. And the air in this shaft is on a timed filter. Ethan kept the alchemical needle pressed firmly against her neck. He did not care about the lockdown or the dark elevator shaft. His mind was fixed
Chapter 17
The iron door slammed shut with a heavy, final sound, plunging the small medical room into total blackness. Ethan stood frozen in the dark. The cold air felt heavy against his skin. He reached down and touched the bed again, his fingers tracing the cold plastic of the oxygen mask. It was empty. The monitors were completely dead. Victoria stood near the door, her breathing shallow. Even in the dark, her voice cut through the silence with sharp surprise. This was not supposed to happen, Victoria said, her usual calm tone finally cracking. I gave strict orders. She was supposed to be kept as leverage, not moved or harmed. Ethan did not answer her. He closed his eyes and let his mind go quiet. For the past two days, sin
Chapter 18
Thick gray smoke rolled through the open doorway like a creeping monster, filling the underground room with a sharp, choking chemical smell. Ethan pulled Sophie closer against his chest, wrapping his jacket tighter around her face to keep her from breathing the poisonous air. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her small hands grabbed onto his shirt. Don't worry, Sophie. I am right here. You are going to be okay, Ethan said, his voice steady even as his heart raced. Victoria stood near the edge of the smoke, coughing slightly as her face turned pale with fury. Her uncle Marcus was not just trying to trap them. He was planning to burn the entire lower level down and bury every secret of Sterling Holdings in ash. My unc
Chapter 19
The heavy iron hatch sealed shut behind them, cutting off the roar of the fire and the choking smoke of the burning tower. Ethan stood in the dim light of the drainage tunnel, his arm wrapped firmly around Sophie to keep her steady. The air down here smelled damp and old, but it was clean enough to breathe. The distant sound of rushing water echoed through the concrete pipes, mixing with the low rumble of traffic far above their heads in the city streets of Lagos. We cannot stay here long, Victoria said, clicking off her small emergency flashlight to save the battery. My uncle Marcus controls the municipal security cameras. If he realizes we escaped through the drainage system, he will have every sewer exit blocked within ten minutes. Sophie looked up at Ethan, her face pale
Chapter 20
The loud pop of the silver pistol cut through the night air, and a small metal bullet tore straight toward Ethan's chest with deadly speed. Time seemed to slow down to a crawl. Ethan pulled Sophie behind his back with his left hand, his eyes locked on the flying piece of lead. The Nine Heavenly Path Technique surged through his veins, filling his fingers and palms with blinding speed. He did not dodge or jump out of the way. He raised his right hand in front of him and caught the bullet right out of the air between his thumb and index finger. A sharp metallic ring echoed through the quiet alley. Silence fell instantly over the entire street. David stopped smiling. His mouth stayed wide open, his eyes popping out in
