Chapter 454
The Phoenix King had reached out to Whitney only a few days prior, extending his hand in secret. He had proposed an alliance between the Marlowe family and his faction to wage war against the Supreme General.At that time, Whitney had dismissed him outright. His betrayal of the Supreme General was no secret, and everyone knew he had gone into hiding, licking his wounds. Standing with him was a losing move, a sure path to ruin. She would never risk dragging the Marlowe family into such treachery.But that was then.Now, with Julian’s recklessness dragging them into the abyss, Whitney’s options had narrowed to one. Phoenix King had been a desperate gamble before—now he was their only possible lifeline.Meanwhile, Julian himself remained unconcerned, perhaps incapable of even grasping the catastrophe he had unleashed. He was too self-absorbed, too consumed by his own lust and arrogance to think about politics, consequences, or the noose tightening around his neck.He drove recklessly thr
Chapter 453
Lazarus had no idea that Winda and Hammer were still alive. Julian had deliberately told him that he had killed both Lord Nyra and Lord Hammer.It wasn’t the truth. Winda still drew breath, but Julian had already decided her fate. In his twisted mind, there was no difference between killing one or killing two. Either way, the Supreme General would not spare him once word spread. Since he was doomed regardless, he might as well wring out every last drop of pleasure before the end. To him, Winda’s body was just a prize to claim before discarding.When Lazarus heard the words, he froze, unable to process them.“What?” Whitney’s voice sliced through the silence, sharper than any blade. Her usually calm demeanor cracked as disbelief painted her face. “Julian… went too far. He actually slaughtered two of the Supreme General’s Gods of War? Do you understand what this means, Father? The Supreme General will never—never—let him live!”Lazarus exhaled slowly, his hands trembling on the armrests
Chapter 452
Fearing discovery by the Supreme General, Julian drove frantically toward the outskirts of the city, the night swallowing his car as it sped down the dimly lit highway. The silence inside the vehicle was suffocating, broken only by the muffled sobs of Winda and the terrified gasps of Tessa. Their pale faces reflected in the window glass, eyes wide with dread, while Julian’s jaw clenched in determination.He grabbed his phone, his fingers trembling slightly despite his outward bravado. “Father,” he said as soon as the line connected, his voice low and urgent. “Something’s gone wrong. I may have provoked the Supreme General. You need to prepare yourself.”On the other end, the head of the Marlowe family, Lazarus Marlowe, nearly dropped his cigar. His face drained of color as Julian’s words echoed in his mind. For a man who had always prided himself on being untouchable in Coastal Flair, fear was an emotion he rarely entertained—but this time, it surged through him like ice water.The Ma

They ascended the staircase cautiously, each step echoing through the silent house. The air was thick with unease, and every creak of the wooden floorboards seemed amplified in the tense silence. The door upstairs had not been properly closed when Brielle had emerged earlier, leaving just a thin gap. Peering through it, they glimpsed the chaos inside—the room was in disarray, with overturned furniture, shattered glass, and traces of struggle scattered everywhere.With careful hands, they pushed the door open, their eyes widening at the scene within. Lord Hammer lay motionless on the floor, his body sprawled unnaturally. Blood matted his clothes, and his face was pale, drained of life. The Armands froze, a wave of disbelief washing over them.“Why… why have Mr. Marlowe and Tessa gone?” Gerald’s voice quivered, a mixture of fear and confusion coloring his tone.Before anyone could respond, a shadow shifted behind them. A figure stepped into the doorway silently, and Brielle let out a sh
Chapter 450
He was acutely aware that the Supreme General could arrive at any moment, so he dared not linger. With Tessa and Winda draped across his shoulders, he leaped out of the shattered window and disappeared into the darkness, the cool night air whipping past him as he vanished from sight.About a minute later, a cab screeched to a halt in front of the Armand residence. Adam jumped down, his senses on high alert. Neither Winda nor Lord Hammer was responding to his calls. A cold knot of fear tightened in his chest—something bad had clearly happened. Without hesitation, he vaulted over the fence and landed on the lawn, his eyes scanning the house for any signs of danger.Inside, the living room was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was anything but warm. Every member of the Armand family was present, except for Tessa. Gerald paced nervously across the room, his expression tight with worry, while the others sat tensely, unable to relax. No one knew what had just happened.“Why is it so quiet up
Chapter 449
Julian’s heart raced, but a dark smirk remained plastered across his face. He only hoped that the Supreme General would not find out about this. If the Supreme General discovered his actions, Julian’s entire family would be condemned, and he would be personally held accountable. And there's no being or place that can shield him from the Supreme General's wrath.Lord Hammer was indeed a formidable fighter, far stronger than Winda, but against Julian, he was at a disadvantage. The space in the room was tight, and every movement mattered. There was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to regroup. Julian pressed forward relentlessly.In just twenty rounds of fierce combat, Lord Hammer found himself outmatched. His arms ached from parrying blows, and his body reeled under Julian’s calculated attacks. The smaller room worked against him, giving Julian the perfect opportunity to corner him.With a single misstep, Hammer was struck by a crushing punch. Blood erupted from his mouth, and he staggered ba
