The following morning, everyone in the Lancasters’ mansion tried to ooze off their ill feeling towards Enrique, but they just couldn’t. He had made a terrible mistake that put them in jeopardy. Now, the world will laugh at them.

They dragged their sore bodies to the dining room for breakfast. All except Enrique walked down the stairs to have breakfast, which Gary had already prepared two hours before the sun hit their sad faces.

Gary had grown to love cooking. After spending years in the kitchen with the Lancasters, preparing breakfast and dinner, he grew to love the smell of sizzling bacon, the crackle of eggs in the pan, and the way flour dusted his hands when he kneaded dough for fresh bread.

Cooking was the one thing the Lancasters couldn’t take from him, a quiet corner of peace in a house that had always treated him like dirt. Over the years, he’d learned to find comfort in the rhythm of chopping vegetables, the warmth of the stove, the small pride of a meal well made.

    The car tore through the night like a bullet searching for purpose. Its engine roared against the silence of Nirvana, but inside the cabin, it was deathly still. Miles sat crumpled in the seat, shivering violently. His eyes were wide but vacant, lips pale. The voltage had nearly fried his nervous system. “He’ll be okay, Master,” said Langston’s voice from the front. Calm. Mechanical. One of the many assistants Gary had on-call. Gary didn’t look at him. “Well, he better be,” Gary said quietly, “or it’ll be you on a hospital bed. Hooked to a goddamn drip.” Shen fell silent. Gary’s jaw tightened. His knuckles whitened around the steering wheel. His mind was a whirlwind. The silence wasn’t empty—it was heavy. Heavy with all the things he should have done. Should have said. Should have been. His grandfather had warned him. You can’t outrun your blood, son. And oh, how he tried. He ran from the island. From the name. From the empire. He thought this was it. Return home, live a hap

  • Chapter 182: "Please, Galy"

    It was easy to believe. It all made sense why he felt a thing for the young man, the very first day he saw him at a restaurant. Gary had sworn to mind his business and not interfere with issues that did not concern him. But that day, seeing the young man being treated like trash, he knew he had to do something. He couldn’t bring himself to watch Miles get beat. Fast forward to today, he was hearing this? He needed to get to the root of this. But again, his grandmother was still there, in the aircraft. They needed to go home. Now, Miles was getting ready for his final attack. He curled his fist. “But I found out that you, your fucking grandfather and your whole sick empire have been lying to the world. You’re all monsters. Playing gods with people’s lives. And you—Galy—you just stood there. You let her die! You let my mother die!” Gary stood slowly, his jaw bruised, blood on his lip, his chest heaving from the blow. But his eyes remained calm. “Miles, listen to me…” “No! No, shu

  • Chapter 181: A Boy Called Revenge

    Gary jogged past the hangar edge, down the terminal corridor, cold steel walls racing past in a blur. Then he turned the corner. And stopped. Blood. So much blood. It stained the white tiles like spilled ink. A trail of crimson dragged along the wall. And in the middle of it was the young man…. Miles. Soaked. Wild-eyed. Panting like an animal backed into a corner. His shirt torn, his fists raw. Blood—some fresh, some dried—covered his forearms like war paint. And at his feet, three guards. Maybe four. It was hard to count them in the twisted way their bodies fell. Miles looked up. Their eyes locked. Gary almost didn’t recognize him. The last time he saw the kid was at the bunker months ago. When he saved him and other kids. He felt a special connection then, something fatherly, protective. He even put him in one of his mansions in Hong Kong to be treated. That was the end of the boy's story—or so he thought. But the boy before him now? This wasn’t that Miles. This was someon

  • Chapter 180: Finally Over!?

    Oftentimes in life, we are faced with situations that force us to make choices. Good or bad. Wrong or right. Just or unfair. It’s easy. Choices like those are easy. They’re subjective, relative. You follow your gut, your conscience, or your God—whatever holds your compass. You’re a good man, you take the right. You’re a bad woman, you walk into the wrong for selfish reasons or otherwise. But what happens when you stand at the crossroads and the signposts are blank? There are no rights. No wrongs. No north. No south. Just fog. And silence. The kind of silence that wraps around your throat like a velvet rope—soft, but choking. You look down both paths and realize… either one will cost you something. Either one will leave you with blood on your hands. That was where Gary stood. Not as a billionaire. Not as a Wang. Not as a savior. But as a man. A grandson. And—somehow—the last hope of a woman whose name had become a whisper in his heart. Mei Lin. He hadn’t said it aloud yet. I
