CHAPTER 1
The battle line was a wasteland. Blood soaked the battlefield.Dead bodies and broken guns littered the ground as Lieutenant Richard Eagle walked slowly through the thick smoke, checking for anyone still breathing.He had just killed the War Emperor of the Ganchimo Battalion all by himself.News of how Richard Eagle's bloody war ended spread everywhere. Because of this, the Great Commander of the Northern Hemisphere planned to bestow on Richard the legendary title of Warlord of the Northeast Battalion.“Your crew is heading straight to the war in Neptune, starting right now,” General Thickcup said, stepping into his path with a nasty glare.“Only if you finish this mission will I hand over the Warlord of the Northeast Battalion title to you.”Thickcup was worried. He was scared of Richie’s brilliant battle tactics and his clean record.Richard had never lost a war. He was rising too fast in the military, and Thickcup wanted him gone.Accepting this second mission was painful. Richard
CHAPTER 2
No soldier wanted to end up like Richard. But what they didn't know was why the Great Commander of the Northern Hemisphere had really visited him.The old commander already suspected treason.He had ordered his most trusted men to investigate the fake drug charges, but most of them turned up dead. His suspicion grew into terror.To avoid making it obvious that he was stalling, he went to the hospital to dismiss Lieutenant Richard Eagle himself.While there, he caught General Thickcup’s wicked smile the moment Richard was handed the title of Battalion Lordship.Thickcup had never forgiven the Great Commander for winning the election against him.On his way back to the White House, the commander's car exploded. His driver died instantly.When the news reached his hospital bed, Richard was stuck in shock.The only high-ranking official on his side was dead!Now, General Thickcup was the acting Great Commander, and Richie knew Thickcup would come to finish him off.“Boss, you need to get
CHAPTER 3
The Chevron Ark was starting in a few hours in the Northern Hemisphere, drawing the wealthiest businessmen and elite figures from across the country.Richard and Oscar had just arrived in the city, though their company had been represented by their COO until they stepped directly into the venue.Richie and Oscar wore high-tech, custom-designed masks that revealed only their piercing eyes, which would also make their voices sound different.It was a newly upgraded technological mask voice effect licensed by Richard Eagle Initiative that no programmer or scientist had caught a glimpse of globally.Instantly, all heads turned.Crowds of socialites and starstruck ladies strained forward, dying to catch a glimpse of the faces hidden under those masks.They walked swiftly as flashbulbs popped blindingly in front of them, reporters desperately hunting for the best angles of the imposing men and their bodyguards.“Who are they? They look insanely powerful!”“What’s with the custom-designed ma
CHAPTER 4
Audrey felt a sharp pang of shock and heartbreak wash over her.Her own father had just made a life-altering, permanent decision about her future without even asking her opinion.“Dad, I barely even know him! He’s been living in the Northwest Municipal ever since we finished high school,” Audrey yelled, her voice cracking as she waited for her father to laugh and call it a sick joke.“That is the exact reason I pushed the engagement back to next week. He’s flying in today, giving you both plenty of time to get reacquainted,” Mr. Morgan replied coldly, not even turning his head to look at her as they sat side-by-side in the moving car.“Is marriage just a game to you, Father?! I don't love him, and this forced engagement will not happen. You can't just barter me off like property to your friend's son!” Audrey cried out, digging her fingernails so hard into her palms in displeasure.Thick glassiness fogged her bright, tear-filled eyes.“My dear, think about our family company, and the r
CHAPTER 5
The Milatel Palace Hotel was the most exquisite suite in the Northern Hemisphere.The engagement party of the year was in full swing, packed to the brim with the most ruthless corporate elites, snobbish socialites, and high-ranking officials across the five cities.At the center of it all was Audrey Rossman, draped in a breathtaking, custom-made crimson Chanel gown that hugged her curves with elegance, paired with limited-edition DaVinci heels and a blinding million-dollar diamond necklace.She looked like royalty, but inside, she was suffocating in a cage of concern about Sean Thickcup’s uncultured character.A few yards away, Sean Thickcup stood with his arms crossed, beaming with the smug, entitled pride of a predator who had finally cornered his prize.Mr. Morgan Rossman moved through the crowd like a king, accepting congratulations from every side, entirely convinced that this strategic alliance with the Thickcup family had solidified his empire for the next century.The double d

Blue Mountain coffee at Morgan Estate dining room. Mr. Morgan was at the head of the long table, scrolling lazily through his tablet while a financial daily newspaper lay wide open beside his plate.The front-page headline blared details of the successful engagement gala from the previous night, featuring full-color photographs of Sean Thickcup standing proudly beside a visibly stiff Audrey."Look at this market response, Sean," Mr. Morgan murmured, a proud, self-satisfied chuckle escaping his lips as he tapped the screen."Our stock jumped four percent before the opening bell even rang this morning. Tying our lineage to the Thickcups was the single greatest business move of my career."Sean sat a few seats down, wearing a silk designer bathrobe, cutting into a rare steak with lazy, exaggerated movements.He took a slow sip of his mimosa, a smug grin plastered across his face."I told you, Mr. Morgan, people like us don't lose," Sean bragged, chewing slowly as he recalled the events o
CHAPTER 7
The private military club on the north hill was a fortress of heavy concrete, thick tinted glass, and absolute power.Guarded by private security men carrying heavy weapons and encrypted radios, the club only let in the highest leaders of the military and big business.Inside the large VIP room, the space smelled thick with old whiskey, expensive cigars, and pure pride.General Thickcup was in a wide chair at the head of the dark table.His chest was covered in rows of military medals, and his face was laced with pride.Standing right beside him were Sean and Mr. Morgan, holding heavy glasses of liquor as they soaked in the warm glow of their great power."To the big wedding coming up," General Thickcup boomed, raising his glass with a loud, deep laugh that shook the room."A Morgan bride and a Thickcup groom. With our army contracts locked down and your building empire growing in every part of the city, nobody can dare us now. We own everything."Mr. Morgan smiled broadly, tapping hi
CHAPTER 8
At the blue harbor, multi-million-dollar superyachts lined up along the private pier.Music thumped heavily from the deck of the largest vessel, with the lively sounds of laughter, clinking champagne glasses, and cheering socialites.This was Sean Thickcup’s exclusive bachelor yacht party, an extravagant floating palace designed to show off a level of wealth that ordinary people could only dream of seeing in a lifetime.High-society models in designer bikinis lounged on white leather sunbeds, while wealthy heirs and corporate partners smoked expensive cigars in the shaded VIP lounge.Sean stood near the captain's wheel wearing expensive Italian sunglasses and a white silk shirt, holding a glass of aged champagne like a king surveying his personal kingdom."Look at this life," Sean shouted over the pulsing bass, wrapping a careless arm around a glamorous model standing next to him."Everything I touch turns to gold. In a couple of hours, I will marry Audrey, and our family name will co
CHAPTER 9
The pre-wedding VIP reception on the eve of the ceremony was a dazzling display of wealth, power, and flashing camera lights.Inside the ballroom of the downtown luxury hotel, towering ice sculptures caught the colorful glow of stage lights while high-society elites in designer suits and diamond necklaces mingled freely.Massive digital screens mounted on every wall flashed gorgeous, larger-than-life portraits of Sean Thickcup and Audrey Rossman, painting them as the ultimate power couple destined to rule the city's future.At the center of the main room, surrounded by a circle of laughing corporate executives and wealthy heirs, Sean held a crystal flute of vintage champagne.His face was flushed with wine and the intoxicating high of victory."To the future of the Northeast business world," Sean announced loudly, raising his glass so everyone in the immediate vicinity could hear."Some losers are born to crawl so guys like us can step on them and reach the stars. It is just the natur
CHAPTER 10
The cathedral at the heart of the city was a breathtaking sight filled with white roses, flowing silk ribbons, and shining crystal lights.Outside, cameras flashed rapidly as luxury cars lined the old stone street, dropping off politicians, wealthy business owners, and famous guests.Inside, the high ceiling carried the soft, beautiful sound of a live string band playing a classic wedding song.Rows of arranged seats were full of powerful people who had come to watch the big wedding of the Rossman and Thickcup families.At the front of the altar stood Sean Thickcup. He wore a dark blue tuxedo with a fresh white flower pinned to his jacket.His face was bright with victory, a huge, proud smile spread across his mouth as he waited for his bride.A few steps away, Mr. Morgan stood tall and happy, beaming with joy as he watched the doors at the back of the church slowly open.The crowd turned as Audrey Rossman walked out under a warm pool of golden light.She wore an expensive designer dr
