Location: VVIP Bar, Thirtieth Floor, Vesula The soft glow from the crystal chandelier reflected off the surfaces of expensive wine glasses. Three men sat around a round table made of zebrano wood. The faint scent of fine tobacco blended with the aroma of aged alcohol. One of them, an elderly man with a neatly trimmed white beard reaching his chest, stared at a holo-projected screen showing the viral video — an old man bowing at Max's feet, and Max calmly helping him up before guiding him into Max Corp. "He mentioned the cult," the bearded man murmured, his voice deep and calm. He wore a black formal suit with a small trident-shaped emblem on the collar. "So what?" asked the second man, younger, dressed in a dark purple suit and crocodile leather shoes. "Max is just a hero loved by the people. Even in Vesula, they welcomed him like an icon." "He wouldn't know anything about the Demonic Cult, and that old man might have been talking about a different cult," he added. The third ma

Zakaria stood in the center of the room, his breath heavy. His psionic aura slowly filled the air, creating a faint vibration all around. The metal walls began to shimmer and rattle softly, as if responding to his anger. Zau stepped back, his back hitting the door. “Sir, I—” “Shut up!" Zakaria said quietly, his voice sharp as a blade. He raised his hand slightly. The air around Zau suddenly thickened, as if compressed. Zau was lifted slightly off the floor, his body stiffening. His eyes widened. He tried to speak, but his mouth wouldn’t move. Zakaria stared at him coldly. “You were the only one assigned to guard the biological access to the chamber. You know who can get in. And now, our two most valuable assets just defected?” His voice remained calm, but the pressure in the air intensified. Zakaria clenched his jaw. “Contact Max Corp immediately,” he ordered through gritted teeth. “Ask what they want. I want those two Grandmasters back. Now.” Zau nodded quickly, then rushed ou

Location: Ordic Corp Central Tower, Vesula Time: 2:12 PM The chandelier lights hanging from the executive office ceiling shimmered gently above a sleek black marble table. The electronic curtains were drawn halfway, letting in the fading sunlight that sliced through the room like the shadow of a bayonet. Zakaria sat comfortably on his sofa, still wearing a loose linen robe, his arm resting around the shoulder of his boyfriend, who chuckled quietly while tapping on a holographic data tablet. Someone knocked on the door. Zakaria sighed lazily. “That must be Zau. Wait outside for a moment,” he said softly to his partner, then stood and put on his thin black blazer. His boyfriend gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. Zakaria took a sip of his drink and then motioned for Zau to come in. The door opened. Zau entered stiffly, carrying a nervous tension that was hard to miss. His left hand trembled, though he tried to hide it. Zakaria leaned back into his chair. “What i

Max didn’t say a word. He simply stared at the cold bodies on the floor, as if trying to read a hidden message behind their deaths. Frans stood by the window, scanning the perimeter through the reflection on the glass. “There were no signs of struggle, no sound. Not even enough time to scream.” He turned. “They were killed psionically.” Frans rubbed his jaw. "It’s not just a killing. It’s a message telling us to stop this expansion.” Max slowly walked to the center of the room and knelt beside one of the bodies. He touched the victim’s crown with his index finger, then closed his eyes. Silence filled the room. Zoza gave a signal to the Vanta guards. “Secure the building. Set up a patrol perimeter within a two-kilometer radius. Full lockdown. No one gets in or out without clearance.” The Vanta moved without a word. Max walked to the large window on the side of the room. Outside, the city of Vesula was still alive. Cars passed by. Ad drones flew across the skyline. The world

Lower Floor, Max Corp Building 06:45 AM The air in the room was cold, dry, and smelled faintly of metal. Not because of the air conditioning, but because of intensity. The mental temperature was far hotter than the numbers on the wall panel. Zoza and the twenty men behind him stood in formation, bodies upright, muscles tightly defined. Three weeks of non-stop training had turned them into something else. On the tactical balcony above, Max stood with his hands behind his back, observing them like an architect evaluating his final masterpiece. On the other side, Frans leaned casually against the railing, still wearing an old hoodie and dusty sneakers, but with a satisfied look on his face. Behind him stood five Grandmaster Academy alumni, old friends of his. They had come to test the recruits. The result? A tie. If the public knew that the one who trained this unit was Frans Arturo, the former elite loser now known as the most reckless, loud, and absurd director at Max Corp, they p

Vesula City, Morow State – Ordic Corp Headquarters The Ordic Corp building towered like a black obsidian monolith in the heart of Vesula’s eastern business district. Its glossy black walls were lined with faint glowing blue veins, like the pulse of a giant machine. On the 77th floor, the CEO’s office was dimly lit, filled with the faint metallic scent of unreleased experimental technology. A young man in formal attire rushed into the room. He was the personal assistant of Zakaria Thorne, the CEO of Ordic Corp. “Mr. Zakaria,” he said urgently. “News just came in. Max Corp has officially been approved to enter Vesula. They purchased a building right in the center of our influence zone.” Silence. Zakaria Thorne, dressed in a sleek metallic gray suit with silver hair slicked back, slowly stood from his chair. His fists clenched at his sides. His eyes radiated a dangerous tension. “I warned them,” he muttered, voice rumbling. “Five years of Max dominating Lanua City... wasn't that e
