CHAPTER 243
Kane slammed on the brakes, leaping out. “No! My company!” He tried to rush toward the burning wreckage, but police officers blocked his path, their arms outstretched.“Stay back, sir!” one shouted. “It’s not safe!”Kane shoved against them, wild-eyed. “Let me through! That’s my life! My legacy!”Another officer grabbed him. “Mr. Kane, you can’t! The whole place is gone—collapsing! You’ll die!”Kane fought, screaming. “Gone? No! It can’t be gone! I built that from nothing! You don’t understand!” His voice broke as he sank to his knees on the pavement, staring at the flames consuming decades of his ambition. Fire trucks sprayed water, but it was useless, everything was destroyed, reduced to ash and rubble. The air was filled with smoke and ruin.He clutched his head, tears mixing with soot on his face. “Aldridge… you’ll pay for this…”---Hours later, in his dimly lit mansion, Kane paced like a caged beast, his phone clutched tight. The Dragonroot-turned-sand fiasco and now his compa
CHAPTER 242
The yard turned into an inferno, smoke billowing thick and black.The men who survived were badly injured, and they coughed loudly trying to regain themselves.Kane staggered back, the video call still connected, his phone shaking in his hand. For the first time in his life, raw fear flashed across his eyes, wide and wild. "No... my men... what have you done?"Adrian's voice cut through the chaos, calm and unyielding. "You still think I'm bluffing, Kane? I warned you not to cross me. All the men you placed at my suppliers and also your bombs? They've been dismantled. Completely. If you destroy even one of my facilities, I'll rain down fire on your entire industry. Then I'll come for your family. Every last one."Kane's fear twisted back into fury, his face flushing red. "You monster! I'm not begging! Do your worst! You can't stop me—I'll hunt you down myself! I'll kill you with my bare hands, Adrian! I'll rip you apart!"Adrian's expression didn't change. "You still have the guts to t
CHAPTER 241
Kane's face twisted. "Fine! Have it your way. I'll crush you and the Aldridge empire. You'll regret—"Downstairs, one mercenary guarding the trailers froze. "What the...?"The Dragonroot in the open crates shimmered, then crumbled to fine sand, pouring out like dust.He screamed. "Boss! The roots... they're turning to sand! All of it!"The leader rushed over. "What? That's impossible!"The men gathered, staring in shock. "It's all sand now!" "How? It was real a second ago!" "This can't be happening!"They scrambled for their phones. "Call Kane! Now!"Kane's phone rang mid-sentence. He glanced at it with annoyance. "What nonsense? Don't rot with me now." He cut the call.But his phone rang again.The leader's voice came through, filled with fear. "Boss! It's real! The Dragonroot... It has all turned to sand! Every crate! We don't know how, but it's gone!"Kane froze, his eyes darting back to the screen.Adrian smiled faintly. "I suggest you go attend to what your men are saying."Kane
CHAPTER 240
From a hidden overlook, one of spotted the convoy. "Here they come. Two trailers which are heavily guarded with four SUVs and armed guards."Kane watched the live feed from his van nearby, his eyes glued to the screen. "Hit them now. No mercy!"Their leader nodded. "Go!"The lead SUV swerved, tires shredding on the spiked strips. Metal screamed as vehicles skidded and crashed."Ambush!" a security guard yelled from the convoy, leaping out with his rifle. "Protect the cargo at all costs!"Gunfire erupted. Kane's men opened fire with heavy machine guns, bullets ripping through the air. "Take them down!" Their leader shouted, mowing down two guards who charged forward.A guard fired back. "Hold the line! Don't let them near the trailers!"But Kane's men were more than ready. "Grenades out!" Explosions rocked the SUVs, flipping one over. Guards screamed as they fell.They were outnumbered and outgunned.One guard radioed desperately. "Mayday! Under attack! Need backup—"Dax silenced him w
CHAPTER 239
In his dark mansion room, Marcus Kane paced like a caged beast.His fist was clenched to his side and his face twisted with fury. His remaining men, six of them who were bruised and nervous stood in a tense line before him, heads lowered. The air crackled with his rage.“Useless!” Kane roared, slamming his fist on a table. “All of you! Pathetic! You let one man, just one man! Ruin everything! Adrian made you look like fools, and you couldn’t even hold him down!”One mercenary, a scarred man named Brody, stepped forward, voice shaky. “Boss, he was too strong. You don’t get it... He’s not human! That energy he used, was out of this world... He threw us like we were nothing...”“Shut up!” Kane grabbed a baseball bat from a corner and swung it wildly, cracking it against Brody’s shoulder. The man yelped, stumbling back. “Excuses! That’s all I get from you idiots!”Another mercenary raised his hands. “Sir, listen, we tried!”Kane swung again, the bat slamming into Vince’s arm. He cried
CHAPTER 238
The mob erupted as they surged forward with pure rage. “Rot in jail!” a teenager bellowed, chucking an apple that smashed against Johnson’s chest, leaving a stain. “You sold our hope for cash!” screamed an elderly man, flinging a tattered shoe that clipped Lee’s ear.Trash rained down on them... coffee cups, crumpled papers, half-eaten sandwiches... Anything the crowd could muster. “Monsters!” a mother cried, her voice breaking as she threw a plastic bottle, hitting Kane’s back. Kane tried to stand tall, but his face burned red with fury and shame as a rotten tomato splattered across his cheek, dripping down his jaw. “Get back, you filth!” he snarled, twisting against the officers’ grip, but his voice was drowned by the crowd’s relentless chants. “Burn in hell, Kane!” “No mercy for snakes!”Edgar cowered, his knees buckling as a soda can struck his shoulder. Johnson and Lee staggered with their heads low, trying to dodge, but all their attempts were futile. The crowd pressed clo
