Chapter 294
Damian blinked, momentarily unsure if his eyes were deceiving him.But no—his eyes were not lying to him.His man, one of his strongest and one of the men he trusted the most, lay motionless on the cold concrete floor.Dead.The other men froze in disbelief, their eyes widening, and their breaths hitching in their throats as the reality of the moment finally settled over them.Damian felt something twist sharply inside his chest.It was rage.Pure, boiling, animalistic rage.Antonio stood in the center of the room and his eyes were dark, focused, and unshaken. He didn’t even look like a man who had killed someone. He simply looked… ready.Antonio turned slowly, muscles tensing like coiled steel beneath his shirt. The men surrounding him hesitated, paralyzed by the sudden death of their comrade, but Damian snapped from behind them, voice rising with irritation and fury.“What are you all staring at?” Damian thundered. His voice echoed off the concrete walls. “FINISH HIM! Before I fini
Chapter 293
As soon as Damian ended the call, his men closed in behind him.But Antonio did not flinch. He didn’t step back or blink. He didn’t even twitch. His gaze stayed locked on Damian.Damian studied Antonio with narrowed eyes, his expression twisting between irritation and intrigue. Slowly, he paced forward. “Or have I misunderstood something?” Damian sneered, tilting his head as though genuinely curious. “Are you really the same Antonio Morris that Liora mentioned? Or is there—perhaps—another Antonio Morris walking around somewhere?”Antonio didn’t break eye contact. “I’m the one,” he said evenly, every syllable steady. “And I want you to release Liora to me. Now!”A muscle jumped in Damian’s jaw. The glare in his eyes hardened, glinting like a blade catching sunlight.“If you’re the same man she mentioned,” Damian hissed, his voice tightening, “then you just met your dead end.”Behind him, his burly men shifted eagerly, hands flexing, steps edging forward with anticipation. They were

Damian threw his head back and laughed—a loud, mocking, careless sound that rang across the dimly lit room. His laughter bounced off the walls, long and cruel, carrying with it the arrogance of a man who believed he already owned the moment. His men grinned behind him. Their posture shifted, cocky and triumphant, basking in their leader’s energy.Antonio stood tall and unshaken with his face unchanging. Yet every man in that room could sense something shifting around him, like the atmosphere before a violent storm. They sensed the silent danger, the restrained violence wrapped around Antonio like a second skin.“You truly walked in here at the perfect moment,” Damian said, wiping an imaginary tear from the corner of his eye as his exaggerated laughter finally settled. “Just perfect. Like fate brought you straight into the lion’s den at the exact second we needed you.”He took a slow, confident step forward. His hands clasped behind his back and his chin lifted. “You see, bastard!

Antonio turned as the tall, broad figure stepped out from the dim hallway. The moment their eyes met, Damian froze in stunned recognition.His gaze sharpened, narrowing as he took in Antonio’s face with slow, growing interest. There was no mistaking what he was seeing. That face wasn’t common, nor was it one a man forgot easily. Damian’s pupils expanded with cold realization because he had seen Antonio's picture splashed across private underworld networks. It was a face passed quietly among criminals, assassins, smugglers, and syndicate leaders who had been trying to track him down so they could kill him.Antonio Morris was not spoken of loudly. He was whispered about—a shadow with power so silent and deep that his mere name made seasoned men pause before taking risks. But Damian did not yet know the second piece of this puzzle: Antonio Morris was the same man Liora had spoken about with a shy smile on her lips. The same man she had admitted she wished to marry someday. The same
Chapter 290
Antonio Morris and his men stepped cautiously into the house. The air inside was thick—not just with dust, but with a palpable sense of danger. They had anticipated resistance, of course, but nothing could have prepared them for the sheer number and intensity of the threat that awaited them inside.Standing across the expansive main hall were a dozen men, all of them imposing figures. Each one’s muscles were taut beneath tightly fitted shirts, veins and sinews visible beneath skin hardened by years of combat and brutality. Their faces were carved from stone, rough and unyielding, eyes glinting with suspicion and raw hostility. Every glance measured Antonio and his men as predators would inspect their prey, calculating weaknesses and testing for hesitations. Even the guards Antonio had faced outside paled in comparison to the sheer intimidation these new adversaries radiated. Their presence alone made the shadows darker, the atmosphere thicker, heavier, and more suffocating, as
Chapter 289
Just then, the man the scarred leader had signaled lunged at Antonio with alarming speed. He shot out of the shadows like a striking serpent, his arm swinging a heavy metal rod aimed directly at Antonio’s head. The swing was meant to kill, or at least incapacitate.But Antonio, as always, reacted with the precision of a man trained to anticipate violence before it even fully appeared.He sidestepped, his movement fluid and instinctive, the metal rod slicing through the air where his skull had been just seconds earlier. The impact of the failed swing vibrated through the air. With a swift pivot of his hips, Antonio grabbed the attacker’s arm mid-swing, twisting it at an angle that forced the bone and muscle to turn the wrong way. Using the man’s own momentum, he sent him crashing to the ground with a bone-jarring thud. The pavement shook. The air echoed with the loud, painful crack of impact, and the man let out a guttural groan as he rolled onto his side, stunned, helpless, and
