Serena stepped forward, her tablet still in hand, her face calm but her eyes glinting with a quiet fury, her voice steady, cutting through the chaos. “Master Wang,” she said, her words soft but firm, her fingers tapping fast, pulling up more files, more proof of their crimes. “The cops are outside. They’ve got the evidence—bank records, bunker logs, witness statements from the kids. They’re ready to take them in.”

Gary nodded, his jaw tight, his eyes still burning, his voice low, dangerous, like a storm about to break. “Good,” he said, his words heavy, each one a nail in their coffin. “But that’s not enough. Prison’s too good for these dogs. They need to feel it—really feel it—for the rest of their miserable lives.”

He turned back to the men, his hands clenching, his voice dropping to a growl, his eyes dark, unblinking like a predator staring down its prey. “Here’s what’s gonna happen,” he said, his words slow, deliberate, each one a promise of pain.

“You’re all fired—right now.

    “Hey, look, everyone, can you see this?” Ruth announced, scrolling through her phone. “It is everywhere on the news and flying around.” “Look, I had a bad day at work, Ruth and I don’t wanna hear shit about your stupid celebrities. Besides, this is not the time to be scrolling through social media. We just took a big hit, and we need to get back on track!” said Donald, typing on his laptop. Ruth groaned. “Oh, come on, Mister Lancaster. You’re not even gonna be the next CEO and when mom asked for a volunteer to get the contract, your ass did not give it a thought,” she replied. “And you? What did you do? Nothing. Even the loser, Gary, was bold enough to…” “Don’t you dare compare me with that filth, Donald. You know what? Forget it, I am not sharing my ‘news’ with you guys. Your wife should return from her trip already cause you are stressing my fucking life.” Ruth swiftly cut in. “No, you are the one who…” “Can the both of you keep your smelly mouths shut?!

    “My dear son-in-law has returned,” Madam Ann announced. She switched off the TV with a quick jab of the remote. Her voice tried to sound warm, but it cracked at the edges, her coffee-stained robe still clinging to her. Kage had already seen the news on his phone in the car and heard the newscaster’s voice echoing in his head. The Wang Empire. A new heir. Blackgold. Child slavery. Mass arrests. He couldn’t wrap his mind around it. Who was this man? How did he come back from the dead? And why now? “Tell me, Kage, did you… did you get the…” Madam Ann’s voice trailed off, her hands twisting together, her eyes searching his face for hope, for something to pull them out of the mess they were in. But she already knew the answer. She could see it in the way Kage stood, the way his eyes wouldn’t meet hers, the way his hands stayed buried in his pockets. Kage shook his head, slow, his voice low, rough, like he’d been yelling for hours. “No.” He swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, his gaze f

    “Dear amazing people of New York,” she began. “I’m sure you have seen the news. And yes, the heir has been found. October 6th, 3 days from now, his inauguration. Location and time would be sent only to those who are deserving –contracted companies, recent and old, friends and family and those who have stayed loyal to the Wang Empire through its darkest days.” Serena’s voice was sharp, her words cutting through the screen like a blade. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes cold, her face unreadable. “To the rest—be warned. The Wang Empire is back. And we’re cleaning the house.” There was a brief silence in the living room. No one said a thing. They digested all of Serena’s words. “Everyone, we are attending that inauguration.” Madam Ann finally began. “But mom…” “Silence,” Madam Ann cut Donald. “I don’t care if we are invited or not. We were terminated by the Sun Group, not by Wang Empire itself. And yes, even if they do own the Sun Group, I don’t give a damn! We are all attend

  • A Man Called Revenge   Chapter 37: "How Did You Do It?"

    Gary walked majestically through the living room, clutching the papers in his hands. “There won’t be any need to sneak in. You are invited. I made sure of it.” His words hung in the air. They were not connecting to the listeners. All their focus was stolen by the file which he slapped on the glass table in the middle of the congregation. They wanted to believe, fantasized and wished that the file was actually the signed document from the Sun Group. But they knew that was not possible. It was far from possible. “Who gave you the right to walk into this conversation with some newspapers, loser? Are those your grandmother’s medical bills? I thought she was dead.” Donald said, trying to crack a joke, but Gary wasn’t smiling. He turned to Madam Ann. “And how the heck are you not hurt? You are supposed to be in prison receiving the beatings of your life. What is this?” Williams added. Kage was shocked as well. Gary kept doing some stranger things. “It doesn’t matter. I am out of prison

    Gary finally turned to Kage, his eyes cold, his voice low. “They changed their mind. I made them change their mind.” He paused, tightening his jaw as his hands clenched into fists at his sides. “You’re welcome.” Ruth’s hands trembled as she clutched her phone, her voice small, her eyes darting between Gary and the document. “But… why? Why would they give us a deal this big? After everything? After they cut us off?”Gary’s eyes darkened. He took a step closer to the table, his voice steady but sharp, his words cutting through the room. “Because I told them the truth. I told them about your construction scam—stealing materials from Wang projects, using kids to do the work, pocketing the profits. I told them everything.” The room froze. Madam Ann’s face went pale, her hands gripping the arms of her chair, her voice a whisper. “You… you told them?” “I did,” Gary said. His voice was calm, but there was a fire in his eyes, a rage he’d been holding back for years. “And I told them I’d ma

    “Well, mother,” he began. “It seems everyone has forgotten, but I understand. I will remind you. We had a deal. I have done my part. Now, it is time to do yours. First of all, Enrique has to go on his knees as said and call me sir, five times. Then, we drive to Times Square, and he strips naked and screams the very words he said, ‘Gary is my master, and I am his slave! Then, as promised, I will be made CEO of your company, and lastly, my grandmother’s hospital bills will be paid.” Madam Ann’s legs shook again. She had made foolish promises and stupid deals. “Oh dear, Gary, of course you will be made CEO of my company as agreed. But as a reward for your bravery, I will announce you as CEO during the big event. I mean, Wang is your surname too, what a coincidence, right? And as for your grandmother, yes, Gary. I will process the check immediately after the inauguration, okay?” Gary smiled within. “And Enrique?” “No, no… no, mom, don’t look at me that way. There is no fucking way I

  • A Man Called Revenge   Chapter 40: Evelyn

    The next morning was nothing short of bliss for Madam Ann. Her face was all smiles. Her well-kept office was a reflection of the joy in her soul. Normally, her office was always tidy and neatly arranged, thanks to Gary and the other house maids. But today was different; of course, it had to be. There was a soft knock on her glass door. It was Gary. “Come in,” she invited softly. Gary was holding her cup of tea as usual. He would bring it to her office every morning. It was a good thing she worked from home. But also a bad thing because all those years, Gary would be subjected to forced labour. As Gary dropped her tea, he shook his head. On this very table, every single cursed day, this witch of a woman would always thank him with a slap. ‘Too hot’ ‘Too cold’ ‘You are late’. Gary chuckled inwardly as he reminisced; all those years were hell for him. Regardless, he never ran away. He was willing to do everything for his mother and for his wife. But this insane woman ordered his

    Evelyn spun around, her eyes wide, her heart dropping. “Kage—I didn’t mean—” “You didn’t mean what?” Kage shouted, his hands balled into fists, his eyes burning. “That I’m nothing? That you’d rather be with that loser Gary? I heard you, Evelyn! I heard every word!” Madam Ann stepped between them, her voice sharp, her hands raised. “Enough! Both of you, shut up, please! We don’t have time for this drama. The inauguration is in two days, and we need to be united, not fighting over some slave!” Kage ignored her, his eyes locked on Evelyn, his voice low and dangerous. “You want Gary? Fine. Go to him. But don’t come crying to me when he shows you who he really is. I’m done.” He turned and stormed out, slamming the door so hard the glass rattled. Evelyn’s hands flew to her face, her voice a sob, her body shaking. “Kage, wait!” She ran after him, but her mother stopped her. “Let him leave, Evelyn. Are you forgetting? We are now on top. He no longer qualifies to be your husband. Howard

    Gary stood frozen, eyes wide, the words still echoing in his ear: “Grandma is missing.” The phone slipped from his grasp and shattered against the hardwood floor of the dimly lit bar. For a moment, the world stilled. His breath caught. The sharp sound of Serena’s voice was replaced by the deafening silence that rang in his ears. He turned his eyes slowly toward Kage, who now looked like a man watching his executioner arrive. Gary’s voice was low. Lethal. “What did you do?” “I—I didn’t do anything!” Kage stammered, scrambling back on the leather seat like a rat caught in a flood. His left hand clutched his bruised, broken finger. Tears welled in his eyes. “I swear to you, Gary—I mean, Master Wang—I swear on my life! I didn’t touch her! I didn’t even know!” Gary took one slow, dangerous step forward. “You were the only one who knew who I was.” “I—I didn’t give them your name!” Kage wailed. “They just… they gave me that card. They told me to find the heir. I didn’t even know it w

  • Chapter 96: Lies For A Truth

    “Kage.” Ruth called out. Kage had literally been ousted from the family ever since he lost his place in the business world. The Lancasters no longer gave a fuck about him and he went from being a potential son-in-law to an outcast, a loser like Gary. But seeing Kage bid $90 million for Edmond’s painting in his arrival party, it shook the entire city. Where could Kage possibly have gotten such a huge amount of money from? His father, his family, the Howards were literally demoted to the 64th richest in the country from the top 10 just a few weeks ago. None of the Lancasters got to see Kage before he left, to perhaps rekindle their broken relationship. But now, here he was, standing in the mansion with power and authority. “Yes. I know who Gary really is. See, there is a private sector, a secret organization…” Kage paused for effect, then glanced around the room as though sharing a national security secret. “It’s extremely confidential. I wasn’t even supposed to know, but I stumb

  • Chapter 98: Den

    The bar reeked of expensive bourbon and awkward silence. Not a word was spoken, not even among the chatter-happy. Just the occasional clink of a glass, the low hum of jazz from the speakers, and the haunting stillness of a room filled with people pretending not to notice the elephant in the room—Gary Wang. He sat in the corner booth with Kage and a couple of Lancaster affiliates who still hadn’t figured out whose side they were really on. Gary leaned back, his expression unreadable. Calm. Detached. Yet his eyes scanned the room with surgical precision. Something felt off. The whole night felt like a setup, a test, a stage. Kage, ever the fool in a devil’s suit, tried to lighten the mood. He tossed back a shot and laughed a little too hard at his own joke. “You know,” he slurred, nudging Gary with his elbow, “you and that bitch... Evelyn, I mean... You’d actually make a perfect couple. Both so uptight and dramatic. I swear, it’s like watching a telenovela.” Gary didn't flinch. Just

  • Chapter 95: "Who The Fuck Are You?"

    Returning to the house was a man and a drunk woman, unable to walk properly. Gary helped Evelyn walk in, her arms wrapped around his wide shoulder. She had actually taken over ten bottles alone, an outrageous number. Funny enough, Bae also had so much to drink. But the men –Edmond and Gary, knew better than to get drunk. They would be the ones in the driver’s seat, taking their ladies home. As soon as Gary was in the living room, someone turned the lights on. It was a huge living room that usually felt empty. But tonight, something felt off. People. Lots of people. Everyone was in the living room, waiting for the arrival of Gary and Evelyn. But the way they stared at Gary, he knew they were waiting for him specifically. Madam Ann, the head of the Lancaster family, was seated on her golden chair in the middle of the living room, William, her first son, standing beside her. Enrique sat on the couch, sipping from whatever drink was in the cup he was holding firmly, his eyes unreadab

    They turned to see Edmond Edgar stepping inside, flanked by his assistant and a striking woman with a delicate jawline and a kind smile. “Edmond?” Gary blinked. “You again?” Edmond laughed. “You say that like I’m stalking you. Trust me, I’m the one surprised. I guess the world is really a small place, huh?” Evelyn and Edmond’s eyes met. A flicker of warmth passed between them—not desire, not confusion, but shared memory. He nodded. She looked at the woman beside him. “I’m Evelyn,” she said gently. The woman grinned. “And I’m Bae.” Evelyn arched an eyebrow. “Bae?” “I know, I know,” Bae smirked. “Weird name. But at least it’s memorable.” “No,” Evelyn said, smiling. “It’s unique.” They laughed together, and just like that, something settled. Not rivalry. Not competition. Just two women standing in the orbit of complicated men. Meanwhile, Edmond approached Gary and shook his hand firmly. “Hey. Thanks again for purchasing my painting,” Edmond said. “My assistant told me the pay

  • Chapter 93: A Toast In Times Square

    The city stretched out around them like a dream too bright to be real. Evelyn sat in the passenger seat, silent, barely breathing. Her hands lay limp in her lap, her fingers still cold from the call she’d just received. She wasn’t blinking. She wasn’t even sure if she was awake. Gary drove, eyes on the road, the weight of everything between them settled quietly in the space. He said nothing, letting the stillness do the talking. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. Who was this man? Who the heck was this man seated in the driver’s seat, driving with no care in the world, like he didn’t just make her a CEO automatically? A few days ago, he’d been just her ex-husband—strange, reserved, awkward at times, soft-spoken, even forgettable in some crowds. But now… he was something else. Something terrifyingly bigger than her world could comprehend. That call—Serena Voss herself, the woman who made presidents pause mid-sentence—just casually called her. Evelyn. Lancaster. The woman who wa

  • Chapter 92: The Road To Revelation

    The sky had turned soft gold as the sun began its descent, its light spilling across the open highway like a spotlight meant just for them. Evelyn sat in the passenger seat of the black Maybach, her hands resting stiffly in her lap. She hadn’t said a word in twenty minutes. Not since they left the Arcadia building. Not since the entire company—her company—had bowed to her, chanted her name, hailed her as queen. She blinked. Once. Then again. But the road was still real. Gary was still beside her, driving with one hand on the wheel, the other relaxed over the center console. Calm. Unbothered. Like he hadn’t just flipped the entire world upside down. Her world, at least. She glanced at him, barely able to hold the stare. There was no rage in her eyes. No fear. Just… disbelief. A kind of stunned silence reserved for miracles and accidents. Her ex-husband… Gary Wang… had just made her the CEO of Arcadia Estates. A multibillion-dollar empire. One of the most prestigious and powerful
