Saving a crumbling empire from the brink of bankruptcy should have cemented Samuel Hayes as a hero, but instead, it only invited betrayal. To the world, he was just a washed-up nobody, a man too weak to fight back. But when he stepped into the city’s most dangerous den, the facade cracked. Piece by piece, Samuel Hayes unveiled the truth—a force untouchable, unrelenting, and utterly unstoppable.

Boom Boom Boom!The sound of knocking reverberated through the quiet night.“Who’s at the door?” Samuel murmured groggily.The clock on the wall showed 1 a.m.—far too late for visitors.“Open the door, or we’ll break it down!”A commanding voice from outside made Samuel quicken his steps.As he passed the window, his gaze caught the faint flicker of police sirens.Shock coursed through him when he opened the door and found three police officers standing there.“Mr. Hayes, you’re under arrest”One of the officers, a man with a thick mustache, held out an arrest warrant. Fraud, embezzlement, forgery, and tax evasionIt’s all about the company. His mind raced back to his years of dedication to J&S Corp, which belonged to his fiancée’s family.J&S Corp was nothing more than a company riddled with issues, leaving behind environmental destruction, loss of lives, and tangled government problems.However, everything became clear when Samuel entered the company.Samuel had put everything to

BENEATH THE MASK: REVENGE OF SAMUEL HAYES 167
Samuel settled into his role as the hidden force behind Valora’s growing network of power, he couldn't shake the feeling that everything was leading to a major confrontation. The influence of Black Talon was far-reaching, but the global organizations that had begun to take notice of him were even more dangerous. It wasn’t just about controlling Valora anymore; it was about reshaping the world itself. But Samuel was patient. He’d been raised to play the long game, and every move he made was calculated to bring him closer to that ultimate goal.Evelyn, a former military strategist, was one of the first to join Samuel's "Council of Shadows." With a sharp mind and unparalleled tactical ability, she had been one of the few who understood Samuel’s vision. She saw the potential in him—not just as a leader of Valora, but as someone who could dominate the global stage."You're not just playing with the city," she said one evening, studying the digital maps of Valora. "You’re aiming for somethi

Samuel gazed at the gloomy sky of Valora. A city that was once full of hope now lay shrouded in darkness. Every corner, every alley, every towering building that once stood proud, now only carried memories. Valora, a city of prosperity, was now caught in the grip of secret syndicates that controlled everything from the shadows.As he stood before the towering building that would now become his new home, Samuel took a deep breath, releasing the tension that had long plagued him. Moving to this city wasn’t an easy decision. But after everything that had happened in the past, he knew Valora was the right place to start over.With a new identity carefully concealed, Samuel was determined to rebuild his strength from the ground up, change his destiny, and perhaps, one day, change this city itself.Months after settling in Valora, Samuel began uncovering the hidden legacy of the "Old Master," a legendary strategist known for his extraordinary ability to foresee the future. One evening, as h

\The road to the Vale of Remnants wasn’t marked on any map. It was hidden, buried beneath centuries of secrecy and natural camouflage. Eli had given them a tattered scroll, ink faded but still legible, containing coordinates only someone with the sigil could decipher. As they left the last paved road behind, the air grew heavier, laced with static. Trees loomed taller here, their twisted trunks like sentinels watching every move.Samuel sat in the backseat, staring out at the encroaching forest, his mind reeling. The Mark of Ascendance pulsed under his sleeve with quiet insistence, as if reacting to their proximity to the boundary. Every time he blinked, he saw that throne again—ancient and immense, its surface etched with glowing veins of light and shadow.Joey drove in tense silence. He had stopped cracking jokes two hours ago, when the GPS died and the radio began spitting out bursts of static mixed with those same whispered voices Samuel had been hearing. Sarah sat beside him, ey

The handshake lingered longer than it should have, and when Marcus finally let go, Samuel wiped his hand on his coat, as if trying to rid himself of something foul. The warehouse hit had gone clean, precise, but that didn’t matter now. Callahan’s warning refused to quiet in Samuel’s head. The real players—the ones who truly run this city—are still out there.Back at the safe house, the atmosphere was no warmer than when they had left. Olivia was asleep on the couch, her breathing shallow but even. Rafael stood by the window, watching the street, while Evelyn leaned against the wall, arms crossed, the lines of tension etched deeper into her face.“You okay?” Samuel asked, stepping beside her.She didn’t answer at first. Then, quietly, “We just shot a man in cold blood, and I don’t feel a thing. That’s not normal.”Samuel glanced at her. “Normal left the building a long time ago.”Rafael spoke up. “We’ve stirred something up. Marcus might be useful, but he’s no ally. He plays sides, not

'Hey, how about now? I am hungry'.There really was no other choice but to send a message to Gelael and go out with him. I couldn't possibly have to whine to Adrian, he might get really angry with me, because earlier he had offered to buy food straight away.Luckily, in no more than five minutes, Gelael arrived. I immediately got down and opened Gelael's car door when I saw that he had come with his friend. I immediately closed the front door and moved to the back. Unlucky! It's really embarrassing."Eh, sorry Emma, I forgot to tell you that I invited my brother, his name is Bon," said Gelael, Bon then extended his hand towards me."Emma," I said, shaking Bon's hand."Where are you going, sis?" Bon asked Gelael."Whatever, just a place to eat, a relaxed cafe, something delicious, if possible with live music," said Gelael.I sent a message to Gelael.'Why didn't you say that you would invite your brother, I was embarrassed because I suddenly opened the front door''Why should you be em

"Why did you bring your brother? That's really cool," I asked."He was the one who wanted to come, he said he was bored at home, lazy about being told by his older brother, so I just invited him, do you feel bothered?" Gelael asked back."No, it's up to you, whoever you want to invite," I answered.Gelael smiled, he kept looking at me, I became uncomfortable."What now?" I asked Gelael."Nothing, I'm just happy to see you again, forgive all my stupidity yesterday, I think I was possessed by the ghost of a woman, that's why I acted so annoyingly," said Gelael."There's no need to discuss it any further, just assume that if you're crazy, I understand," I said.Gelael laughed, he looked back at me while supporting his chin. A very annoying pose for me, I ignored it and immediately played with my cellphone.Adrian sent photos of the food being served at Sandra's house, lots of it. It looked like they were having a luxurious party, Sandra was also seen smiling holding a lobster. I'm gratef

“Why, just because I said something wrong earlier? "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, don't be angry like this, we can discuss other things that are more interesting," replied Gelael."What else can I discuss with you?" I asked."What, I don't know either, there are many things I could tell you but you won't hear them, you understand what I mean," said Gelael, he looked at me sharply."Yeah, thank you, I don't want to hear it one bit," I answered.Gelael raised his eyebrows, he then opened his cellphone. Likewise with me. I also kept myself busy by opening my cellphone.I looked around, people seemed to be chatting with each other, sharing stories, laughing, and making memorable memories. Meanwhile we were both just busy with our own affairs. There are no more words, no more stories that we can talk about, it's all over.Likewise with this relationship, it should be completely over, it cannot be forced. Between the two of us we still have wounds and hopes, I have wounds that have not yet h

Adrian sat on the sofa in front of the television, leaned his head against the sofa cushion, he closed his eyes, from his expression I could tell that Adrian felt very tired and depressed."Sandra apologized to me earlier, she told me about how all this could happen, I was very touched," said Adrian, still with the same expression."That's all he said?" I asked.Adrian opened his eyes, he squinted at me."What else did he tell you? Is there anything else?” Adrian asked me with a confused and curious face."Yes, she told me how she broke up with Hudson, and how all this madness started," I answered, I sat next to Adrian.“Hudson? What did he tell you? "He just said that, all of this has nothing to do with me, all the mistakes that exist are proof that he was guilty and negligent, he was just being hit by anxiety and worry about his life, so he finally chose a shortcut to calm himself down," said Adrian."I don't want to talk about this problem because it is Sandra's personal matter, bu

"Whoever is stressed, it seems like he is talking about himself," I said quietly. I then closed the door and locked it.What should I do now, it was still very early, I looked in the refrigerator, there was some ice cream that I hadn't eaten. Because I was hungry, I decided to cook instant noodles.After a few minutes, the instant noodles I made were ready and I brought them in front of the television. I turned on the television and ate the noodles I made. It's really delicious.Days like this are sometimes very enjoyable, maybe you know what I mean, I haven't lived a normal life like someone without problems for a long time, so this sometimes becomes an interesting habit.Gelael sent me a message saying good morning, I ignored it. I've really decided to keep my distance from Gelael, I don't want to have to play with everything at my young age all the time.By the way, it's December 28th, it's great that Adrian is still working at the end of the year, what a busy businessman.
