Andrew stood still, his jaw locked tight, eyes unreadable.

The cold in his expression far sharper than any weapon aimed his way. Twenty guns. Twenty black barrels waiting for a command. But not a twitch crossed his features. There was no panic behind his eyes.

He wasn’t thinking about the bullets or the weight of twenty triggers. His mind was far ahead. Past the fear. Past the noise. Locked on the only thing that mattered now—the herb.

“I’ll sign on one condition,” Andrew said finally, his voice quiet but clear as he took a slow, unhurried step toward Cain.

Cain's hand twitched, the papers on the desk rustling under his palm. “If you move an inch, I’ll order my men to shoot,” he snapped, slamming his palm down again, like that sound alone could make him feel powerful. “Sign the document. Once you do, we’ll start from there.”

Andrew didn’t look at the paper. He didn’t look at the button. He only looked at Cain.

And he knew.

If Cain had really meant to kill him, he would h

    Andrew decided to meet with Mr. Torino, the man Cain had mentioned—the one who supposedly held answers about the crimson herb. Whether the man could be trusted was still uncertain, but at this point, Andrew knew one thing for sure: the deeper he went into this web, the more every move mattered. When he arrived at the office, he saw five other men already seated in the narrow waiting area. They didn’t look like ordinary clients. Their suits were crisp, their silence loaded. Men like these didn’t sit in waiting rooms unless they were waiting for something very valuable—or someone very powerful. And none of them seemed like the type to be kept waiting for long.Andrew took a seat without a word. His eyes didn’t scan the room. He didn’t acknowledge anyone. There was no point in drawing attention to himself when all he wanted was information. His thoughts were elsewhere—fixed on the herb, Cain’s warning, and now this mysterious Mr. Torino.Minutes passed.He was still thinking about Ca

    Mr. Amik stood firm, eyes narrowing as Andrew prepared to walk past. His presence wasn’t loud, but the tension in his stance spoke volumes. To him, the idea of this plain-dressed stranger cutting ahead was nothing short of an insult. It wasn’t just impatience—it was disbelief. And somewhere beneath it, bruised pride that refused to bleed quietly.In Jashem City, you could size a man up before he even spoke. The city was built on performance, and everyone knew it. Wealth was never silent. It sparkled in diamond watches, strutted in limited-edition suits, and screamed from behind tinted luxury cars. That was the code. That was the order. And in this order, no rich man dressed in a shirt and faded jeans.So Amik didn’t need confirmation. He didn’t need names or stories.He had looked at Andrew, made a decision, and moved on.Lower class. Clearly.And now that man was stepping in before him?He felt his chest tighten with fury, the kind that didn’t explode—but boiled. His pride, swollen

    Silence fell in the room, Thick and heavy .No one spoke, not even Amik.Every man in that lounge had gone still, as if suddenly realizing they’d been standing beside royalty and hadn’t known it.Every man in that lounge knew exactly who he was now.“This is Amik Brandon, the CEO of Amiklin Corp” One of the men said out loud , his voice trembling with amazement “Of course it's him !” Another yelled in astonishment Amik Brandon.The man the whole of Jashem was buzzing about. The man whose name had been plastered across every media channel four days ago after the shocking announcement that A and U Group had partnered with him.A partnership of that level was unheard of. Almost mythical. Every tech CEO in the city had been trying for years to get A and U’s attention, and yet somehow, Amik had done it. Practically overnight, he'd become Jashem’s newest obsession. People wanted to know how he pulled it off. Was it innovation? Was it bribery? Was it sheer luck?It didn’t matter.He was n

    Andrew was slightly taken aback himself, though not in the way they thought. He hadn't known Amik had partnered with his company. Not because it wasn’t important, but because he hadn’t been keeping up. The CEO had begged him to visit the Jashem branch, to see the numbers, the growth, to meet the new partners. But Andrew hadn’t had the time—or the interest. He had poured his all into that company . He’d built it brick by brick. And when it began to rise, he didn’t cling to it. He didn’t need to see its shadow to know it still stood strong. He set it up to grow without him. He had built ten branches in the ten cities. Each one planted like a seed with deep roots.He had no idea the Jashem branch had grown so much. That it now commanded this kind of attention. That it had the clout to make or break careers.Andrew chuckled softly.The world is small. Smaller than pride.Still, he wouldn’t use it against the man. Not yet. He wouldn’t tamper with Amik’s contract.But he would give him

    Andrew slowly took the phone away from his ear, his thumb still resting on the screen.He didn’t blink. He didn’t move. His face stayed calm—too calm.But the room around him was not.Suddenly, loud laughter exploded in the air, sharp and mocking.It was cruel. It was on purpose. Each laugh was louder and meaner than the last, filled with pride and disbelief.They weren’t just laughing at what he said.They were laughing at the idea that someone like him could say it and actually believe it.One of them clapped loudly, almost choking in his amusement. “You hear that?! He cancelled the contract,” he managed to gasp, slapping the armrest beside him. “The bloody contract! What’s next? He owns Jashem too?!”Another man snorted and leaned in, eyes glinting with ridicule. “Only the chairman can make that call. And last I checked, the chairman doesn’t wear cheap jeans and second-hand shoes.”The laughter doubled. It wasn’t just sound—it was assault.“You must really enjoy embarrassing yourse

    Amik laughed, loud and careless, the sound ringing through the room. “Don’t tell me you actually believed what this lowlife just said?”He tilted his head, smiling as if he had just witnessed the most ridiculous lie of the century. His words dripped with mockery, his voice full of arrogance. He spoke like a man too sure of the air he breathed, too unaware that it could be taken from him.He looked around for agreement, waiting for the others to join in, but his laughter began to echo back at him. The room didn’t laugh with him this time.There was a pause. A long one.Then a voice snapped through the silence like a crack in glass."He was telling the truth!" one of the men shouted back, his voice cracking with urgency, and instantly, every pair of eyes in the room jerked toward the television mounted on the wall.And just like that, nothing else in the room mattered anymore.The screen lit up with the red-and-white logo of a news station known for breaking high-priority corporate up

    His voice, once proud and sharp, broke down into pleading.“I-I’m sorry,” Amik stammered, hands trembling, “Please… I didn’t know… If I had known… I swear, I wouldn’t have…”He looked up at Andrew like a drowning man begging for rope. “I was wrong. I was so wrong. Please forgive me. Just one chance, just one.”But Andrew didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He didn’t show the rage they had mocked, or the power they had denied. He only looked at Amik with the same quiet calm that had shaken them all to the core.It was that stillness that made it unbearable.“I didn’t know,” Amik repeated, now more desperately. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know who you were!”Amik begged harder, his voice growing more frantic. He promised anything, everything—money, favors, loyalty—but deep down, he knew it was too late.It was all his fault .His voice was shaking, words tumbling over each other, but Andrew’s expression didn’t change.There was no mercy in his eyes.He had given him chances. He had shown rest

    Two days later, Andrew set off for Jashem City after saying his goodbyes to Benita, her arms lingering a little longer around his shoulders, her eyes trying to memorize every line of his face before he turned and disappeared through the gates.He had no idea when he would see her again, and part of him knew deep inside that there was a chance he might not come back the same man he was when he left.During his long, sleepless nights of research about the Ashton family, he had stumbled upon the news that they were hosting an engagement party at their estate in two days' time, a lavish celebration meant to unite two powerful families in blood and influence.Andrew leaned back in his chair the night he found out, tapping the screen of his laptop slowly, the wheels in his mind already beginning to turn with dangerous precision.He decided then that he would attend the party himself, not as a man seeking vengeance or justice yet, but as a quiet observer hidden behind a mask of courtesy.It

    Dr. Cross had arrived. All heads turned as the man stepped in, crisp white coat fluttering slightly as he moved with a kind of polished confidence that demanded attention. His assistant trailed behind, younger, quieter, clutching a sleek black briefcase. Morin stepped forward, straightening his collar and clearing his throat. “This,” he announced with pride swelling in his voice, “is Dr. Cross.” Gasps followed. The Ashton family stared as if royalty had entered their home. Eyes widened. Jaws slackened. It was as though he had summoned a god, not a doctor. “You actually brought him?” Aunt Monica blinked hard, like she didn’t trust her own vision. “You must be joking,” someone muttered from the back. “Dr. Cross? Here?” “Oh my God,” Someone said under their breath. “This is serious.” Dr. Cross gave a slight nod, scanning the room with mild detachment. His gaze was piercing but not unfriendly—more clinical, like he was already diagnosing everyone from across the room. A

    Anastasia’s voice trembled as she broke the silence. “How good is he? Will he really be able to heal my father?” She asked , her voice laced with doubt Her eyes were restless, her fingers tightening around the hem of her sleeve as if gripping her last hope. “Of course he can,” Morin straightened, puffing out his chest as if the moment had been scripted for him. “His name is Dr. Vanton Cross. Top of his class, trained in every advanced treatment you can think of. There’s no illness Dr. Cross can’t cure.” Anastasia blinked. “Dr. Vanton Cross?” “Wait—Dr. Vanton Cross?” Aunt Monica cut in, her voice rising with sudden excitement. “I know him!” she nearly shouted, turning sharply toward the others. “He was trained by Doctor Ambrose.” A murmur rippled through the room. “Doctor Ambrose’s apprentice?” someone asked, skeptical, as though the name alone needed confirmation. “You mean the Dr. Cross? The best apprentice of Dr. Ambrose?” another chimed in, their voice echoing wit

    Andrew took one slow breath and stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the pale figure lying helpless on the floor . Mr. Roman’s chest barely moved. Time was slipping through their fingers and something needed to be done before it got out of hand . “I can heal him,” Andrew said, his voice steady, filled with certainity and boldness The moment those words fell off Andrew's lips , all eyes shifted to him. Their judgmental piercing gazes, pinned on him . Aunt Monica turned, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. “What do you know about curing disease and saving lives?” she hissed. “Not much,” Andrew replied. “But I can be of help.” The room turned colder with her glare. “Shut that mouth of yours. No one has time for your nonsense.” She snapped angrily Anastacia spun toward him, eyes red and brimming. “You stressed my father out with that little stunt you pulled earlier. This is all on you. Since you arrived, all we’ve had is chaos.” Anastacia yelled , her eyes brimming with hatred

    Suddenly Mr Roman collapsed Waves of gasps broke out through the crowd.They were yet to recover from the shock of the previous incident and yet , here they were, faced with another one . Mr Roman's tall frame crumpled like paper onto the marble floor,right where he standing seconds ago. For a long second, no one moved. Everyone was left stunned as they gawked at Roman's lifless body. Within the blink of an eye , Anastacia’s heels clicked sharply as she rushed forward, hunkering down to her dad's position. Mr Roman lay motionless—eyes rolled back, lips parted, skin already turning a pale shade that wasn’t natural. “Dad!” Anastacia cried, shooking his body for a reponse. “Someone help! Please!” A man in a navy-blue suit pushed through the crowd, dropping beside Mr. Roman with practiced urgency. “I’m a doctor,” he said quickly. “Everyone give him space!” The crowd immediately parted around them. The doctor’s fingers moved fast—checking pulse, lifting eyelids and b

    “Andrew is innocent! He didn’t do it!” Officer Amos sobbed into the camera, voice shaking and eyes swollen. “I was paid… paid to lie… I detained him under false charges… I swear on my life… he didn’t do anything…”There was a gasp, loud and collective.Aunt Monica clutched her pearls.Someone dropped a glass.The silence fell in the room,heavy and dreadful .No one blinked. No one moved.Only Amos’s broken voice filled the air, quivering with guilt and fear.“Who paid you?” someone asked off-camera.The question echoed through the speakers, slow and pointed.Amos shifted, lips parting. “I was paid by—”Suddenly , the screen went black.Immediately, the loudspeaker crackled as a voice announced, “The man of the hour is finally here.”Every head in the room turned toward the grand entrance.It was him. Andrew.He stood in the doorway, calm as stone, shoulders squared, face unreadable. He didn’t speak. He didn’t smile. He just walked in slowly, like he had all the time in the world.The

    Two days later, laughter floated through the Ashton mansion. Crystal glasses clinked, heels tapped softly against the marble floors, and upbeat music played in the background The room glowed with golden light, as though the universe itself had come to join in the jubilation.The party was supposed to be a announcement of Andrew and Anastacia’s engagement .But it had turned in their favor.After what Andrew did, they were going to announce the Cancellation instead and proof of the kind of a monster Andrew was —or so they thought .“This is the kind of night worth remembering,” Aunt Monica laughed, her voice rising above the chatter in the hall. “Finally,” A lady whispered to a guest at her side, “that stain of a man is out of Anastacia’s life.” She tilted her head back, eyes glittering with triumph. “We should’ve never let him into our family to begin with.”The others murmured in agreement, raising their glasses higher.“Imagine,” Justin said as he walked over to Morin with a sm

  • Chapter 196: Too Powerful

    “All guns down!” The Chief Commissioner barked again, and there was something so commanding in his tone, so final in the way it echoed, that even the twenty men with loaded weapons didn’t question him—they obeyed, slowly lowering their arms like children caught stealing.Andrew didn’t say a word. He watched in silence .Amos's throat dried up, and the warning he’d received just few hours ago played in his mind “If you don’t drop this, someone higher up will intervene, and when he does, you won’t survive it,” and now standing right before him was the meaning of those words.No way. It couldn’t be.The Chief Commissioner? Back now? After disappearing into his sacred half-year ritual? Impossible.Amos struggled to keep his knees from buckling.Everyone in the force knew that when the Commissioner stepped out for his break—June through December—nothing could pull him back. Not even national threats. When the capital exploded in a political riot last year, Kobe didn’t budge. When the mini

    Benita’s scream was muffled behind the thick walls, but Andrew’s ears picked it up. His heart rammed against his ribs as he kicked open the door, finding her huddled in a corner, her face streaked with fear, surrounded by a room full of men whose smirks said too much.“You picked the wrong place to walk into,” one of them sneered, stepping forward, fists clenched.Andrew stood still, staring him down. “Move.”“You deaf or just suicidal?”“I said move,” Andrew repeated, slower this time, like he was doing them a favor.“You’re one man. We’re ten.”Andrew smiled.It didn’t reach his eyes. He didn’t flinch.He didn’t respond. He didn’t even blink.Because words didn’t belong in places like this.Violence did.The first man lunged. Andrew met him halfway and twisted his arm with a crack. Another one shouted, but he didn’t get to finish. Andrew struck like a machine—silent, precise, unrelenting. Bone met bone. Blood stained the floors. His fists didn’t slow, even when screams replaced thr

    Andrew’s fists clenched tighter, his jaw tightening as if the mere mention of Benita’s name was enough to break him. The air in the room grew heavier. Did he just hear Benita ? What has Benita got to do with this? Andrew thought , his eyes brimming with fire “Give me what I want , or your girlfriend will die!”Amos continued ,his voice firmer He gestured to the screen on the wall, and his hand moved toward the remote. He pressed a button, and the image on the screen flickered to life. There she was. Benita Andrew’s expression darkened. His eyes flaring with fury. The screen was blurry at first, the picture not quite clear , but there was no mistaking her face. She was sitting in a dimly lit room, surrounded by men. Amos couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction. He had the upper hand now. There was no way Andrew wouldn't confess now he had revealed his girlfriend was in hostage Morin was right , this was the only way to get the confession out of the man . So far h
