Tessa shut her eyes in despair as hot tears slid silently down her cheeks. She hated herself for crying, but what else could she do? No matter how much she resisted, she was powerless against Julian. The ropes cut into her wrists, the room felt suffocating, and every second that passed only deepened her helplessness. Even the thought of ending her own life felt impossible—her body was bound, her spirit cornered.

Julian, however, showed no pity. On the contrary, her fear only seemed to fuel him further. The glint in his eyes was twisted, almost feverish, as he stepped closer. “The more you fight, the more you interest me,” he muttered, throwing himself toward her.

Tessa’s heart pounded. She prayed, Adam… if only you were here.

But before Julian could lay a hand on her, a sharp whistle split through the air. A split second later, the tall glass windows behind him shattered into glittering shards as a steel dart sliced its way inside. The projectile cut straight toward his chest with dea

    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

    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

    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

    While speaking, Julian’s hands moved with greater fanaticism, tearing at Winda’s garments. His eyes flicked to Tessa, and he sneered, “Pretty one, don’t be jealous. I’ll be fair to both of you. Once I’m done here, you’ll have your turn.”Tessa froze, a chill running down her spine. Her heart pounded in her chest, and despite the fear twisting her insides, she refused to scream. She knew that attracting attention might only worsen the situation. Winda, meanwhile, struggled with all her might, her expression a mixture of fury and despair. But Julian’s strength and skill left her unable to break free.Just as Tessa thought all hope was lost, a shadow darted through the shattered window. A figure clad entirely in black, a robe billowing and a mask hiding their face, charged at Julian with deadly precision. The masked attacker’s foot shot forward, connecting with Julian’s head in a swift, brutal kick.“Here comes another one looking for death!” Julian barked, tilting his head to avoid the

    He gasped, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints. “How could it be you?”The face before him was unmistakable. He had seen her earlier that very day at the hotel, but that was nothing compared to what he was seeing now. His mind reeled. This wasn’t just any woman—it was her.Julian’s breath hitched. “Lord Nyra… one of the Four Gods of War.”The weight of the realization nearly crushed him. Insulting her wasn’t just reckless—it was suicide. It was tantamount to spitting in the face of the Supreme General himself. The entire empire trembled at the mere mention of her name, yet here she was, in his grip, her mask torn away, her identity exposed.For the first time in years, genuine fear flickered in Julian’s eyes.“Let go of me now!” Winda snapped, her voice sharp and commanding despite the blood trickling down her lips. Her aura, even wounded, was enough to rattle the air.Julian instinctively loosened his hold, his hand trembling. For a heartbeat, reason almost won over. But then the paran

    “Fuck off!” Winda’s voice cut like a blade as she launched herself at Julian with blistering speed. Her palm lashed out, looking deceptively ordinary, but the force behind it could have shattered stone walls.Julian didn’t flinch. A cold smile tugged at his lips as he met her strike head-on, his own palm snapping forward.Bang!The collision sounded like two speeding cars slamming into each other, followed by a deep rumble that made the entire room tremble. Energy burst outward in a violent shockwave, rattling the walls and sending glass shards clattering across the floor.For the first time, Julian’s smug expression shifted. His arm jolted slightly from the unexpected force, his body rocking back a fraction. But Winda paid the heavier price—she was blown several steps backward, boots screeching against the tiles as she fought to regain balance. Her chest rose and fell quickly, and her sharp eyes narrowed.He’s stronger than I thought.Julian chuckled darkly, his fingers flexing from
