As if remembering something funny, Isabelle giggled. “I even changed the order secretly to include a ticked for you. Otherwise, how would we have this happy week together?” “You little canny vixen,” Lucian laughed and pinched her nose. “I can’t wait to see his face when he finds out the truth that you merely targeted him for his bone marrow. What a pathetic sucker.” Isabelle lifted her chin proudly, “He should be honored I even chose him!” Adrian felt like his heart was being ripped apart. He never imagined the truth would be this ugly… this cruel. And he had never found Isabelle’s voice as harsh and grating as he did today. “Poor guy. You’ve really ruined him.” Lucian laughed. “You pity him?” Isabelle rolled her eyes. “Hell no!” Lucian laughed, then he sneered mockingly. “If his bone marrow hadn’t been a match, do you think I’d have watched you marry him? He fucked my woman, so I’m gonna drain him dry.” “Alright, stop bragging,” Isabelle gave him a glare and urged, her breathing growing heavier, “let’s ... hurry up.” Outside the bedroom door, Adrian stood frozen, his limbs icy cold. Everything had been a lie. Their love story? A joke! Their marriage? Just a convenient front for benefit! She had teamed up with his rival to destroy his company ... spent his money to sleep with her lover ... And now, it turned out even the baby wasn’t his! Adrian’s breath turned ragged, his eyes bloodshot as veins bulged across his temples. Rage surged through him like a storm barely contained. “Did you prepare the drug?” Lucian asked. “When you drink with him later, make sure he takes it. Don’t screw this up.” “I... I got it ... covered. Ahh~~Ahhh~~~~” Feeling Lucian moving faster, Isabelle gasped more heavily, her eyes rolling back, but her mind remained active. “Hey Luc,” Isabelle added suddenly, “there’s been some men in black hanging around my place lately asking about Adrian. You don’t think he’s hiding something, do you? Like in those dramas—some secret identity?” “Pfft. Him? Secret identity? Get real. His company’s out of money—they’re probably debt collectors.” Lucian sneered mockingly. Hearing this, Isabelle felt relieved and giggled, without the slightest trace of guilt. “Once I knock him out ... you come later and dump him ... into the ocean under the cover of night. We’ll ... We’ll make it look like an accident ... and we’ll collect a big fat life insurance payout.” “Good, my clever girl!” Lucian praised as he bit lustfully on Isabelle’s curves, his breath heavier as well. “With that bastard gone, that sick little sister of his is ours. Once we ship her off to Lorita Island, we’ll build more connections. Two birds, one stone!” Lucian snickered. But inside, Lucian had another plan. Money and Adrian’s death were secondary—what he really wanted was Adrian’s mentally impaired but beautiful sister. He had seen her photo once on Isabelle’s phone and had been obsessed ever since. He couldn’t wait to taste her. That innocent face, the sweet little moans, the soft young curves, the tight, untouched, sweet body—it would be heaven. He wasn’t about to tell Isabelle that, though. At this thought, his excitement surged, and with a grunt, he drove himself deeper. “Ah—!” The room immediately filled with louder moans and the continuous sound of frantic flesh slapping against flesh. Adrian’s temples throbbed with rage. That poor, sick girl wasn’t his real sister, but the granddaughter of the old, crippled man who once saved his life. Adrian owed him everything. After the old man died, Adrian promised to take care of the girl like family. And now ... these bastards wanted to kill him, take his insurance, and sell her to some damn sex island? Enough!!! “Goddamn it—go to hell!” he roared, fury exploding like a firestorm.

CHAPTER 302
Ashra watched him shake, as she slowly unwrapped the velvet cloth once more.Soft red cracks pulsed across the stone as she lowered it toward him again.Malvin reached with both hands, trembling as though the thing might bite him.Ashra finally placed it in his palms.The glow crawled across his skin like veins of fire.She turned away immediately, bored, already picking up another flask on the table. Malvin stood there with the talisman pressed against his pounding chest then he backed away slowly.Then one thought crossed his mind.“How… how do I lure out a monster like him…?” Malvin whispered.He walked toward his car, gripping the talisman so tightly the edges dug into his palm. Zane only listened to Adrian; no one else could command him as if he were his leader or something.Malvin’s lips curled slowly.Yes.That was it.He reached his office an hour later, slammed the door shut, and rushed to the old voice-modifier he sometimes used for extortion calls.He strapped the mic und
CHAPTER 301
Ashra lowered the talisman toward him, the red cracks pulsing like a heartbeat.Malvin reached for it—greedy, desperate.But Ashra pulled it back before his fingers could touch it.Her expression cooled instantly.“This,” she said, voice smooth as poison, “is not free.”Malvin froze. “What… what do you want? Money?"Ashra let out a soft laugh.“If money could buy this,” she said, brushing her thumb over the glowing cracks, “I would have sold it years ago.”She stepped closer, cloak shifting like a living shadow.“I want a favor.”Malvin blinked. “A… favor?”Ashra nodded slowly. “A day will come when I will need you. When I call you, you must obey.”Her pale eyes darkened. “No excuses. You will do exactly as I say.”Malvin swallowed hard. “That’s it? You want a favor?”Ashra tilted her head. “You must sign with your blood.”Malvin’s heart stuttered. “W-What?”Ashra’s voice dropped to a chilling whisper.“Swear it. With your blood. A binding covenant.”Malvin took one step back.People
CHAPTER 300
Ashra’s pale eyes tracked Malvin like a predator reading its prey.Malvin cleared his throat, trying to steady his voice. “I came because… I need something lethal. Something strong enough to kill a man. Not an ordinary man, a monster. His name is Zane.”The moment the name left his tongue, Ashra’s expression shifted.She had heard that name before.She slowly sat upright in the chair.“Zane…” she murmured. “Lightning-born.”Malvin blinked. “Y-you know him?”Ashra leaned back slightly, crossing one leg over the other. “I know far more than you do. And if you came here seeking a way to kill him,” she raised a brow, “you’re wasting your time.”Malvin’s face tightened. “What do you mean?”Ashra stood slowly, her cloak whispering across the stone floor. Her pale silver hair caught the blue light of the underground chamber.“Zane cannot be killed,” she said simply.Malvin laughed once, an ugly, strained sound. “Th-That’s ridiculous. Everything can be killed....”She cut him off with a sharp
CHAPTER 299
Malvin grabbed at Lucien’s boot as the duke’s son turned away. “Wait—please!” he begged, voice raw. “If I betray you, kill me. Drive a blade through my heart. I swear I’ll be loyal.”Lucien paused, the sunlight cutting the edge of his profile. He did not smile. He did not pity. He simply looked at Malvin as a man looks at an insect.“Words are cheap, I want proof.Malvin’s chest heaved as he saw an opportunity. “Name it. Anything. I’ll do it. Give me a task I can finish. A chance is all I am asking for.”Lucien turned slowly. His coat whispered against the car as he moved. “Prove it,” he said. “Bring me Zane’s head. Kill the man who moves like lightning and I will finally trust you.”For a second everything in Malvin’s world narrowed to that one order. The name hit him like ice. His mouth went dry. “That’s impossible,” he croaked. “You saw him... he tore your men apart like paper. He’s not just a man. He is a storm. His skin can’t be pierced. His speed .. there’s nothing I can do. How
CHAPTER 298
Lucien’s convoy moved down the road in tight formation. Suddenly, a small car cut in front of them. It was Malvin’s car.Lucien’s lead driver muttered a curse under his breath. Several of his men slammed on the brakes. Two jumped out before the cars stopped.They ran to Malvin’s window, tore the door open, and dragged him out. He fought at first, then stopped when heavy fists took over.“Let me speak to your boss!” Malvin begged, voice high with panic. “He must hear me, this is important!”The men ignored him. They hauled him to the center of the road and threw him down. Lucien watched from his car, unmoved. He lifted a hand and a soldier moved forward and planted a sword at Malvin’s throat. Six more blades made of pure kissed Malvin’s skin.Malvin's blood ran cold.Lucien came down slowly from his car.A man stepped in closer, he had just witnessed his colleagues being slaughtered like animals and he was hungry for blood. “Shall we finish him, sir?”Lucien’s face was unreadable,
CHAPTER 297
Malvin avoided his gaze.Did Adrian really find the evidence?Adrian’s expression hardened. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small silver drive. The Aldridge family exchanged glances.Adrian connected the drive to the tablet on the courtyard table. The screen lit up, showing security footage from the cooking competition.The video was not clear but it showed a shadowy figure crouched near Adrian’s cooking station minutes before the explosion.Sophia leaned forward, her heart pounding. “Is that...?”Adrian zoomed in. “Someone tampered with the gas in my station and caused the explosion,” he said coldly.He turned, eyes locking on Malvin. “I know it was you, Malvin.”The words hit like thunder.Malvin blinked, frozen for a second and then his mouth fell open, his face twisting in outrage. “What?” he cried, his voice cracking. “You’re accusing me?”Adrian didn’t blink. “You were behind the curtains throughout, don't deny it, you caused the explosion from the footage I kn
