The luxury lobby of the Imperial Star Hotel gleamed under the light of a massive chandelier. Guests moved quietly, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and money.

Karvel Cross strode through the lobby, his steps slow but confident. He wore a simple dark suit, but even without flashy designer labels, his aura demanded attention.

Three percent of the world's population controls ninety-seven percent of its wealth. The thought flickered through his mind as he observed the opulent surroundings. And these people think they own the very air we breathe.

He approached the reception desk, where the manager personally came out to greet him with a slight bow.

"Mr. Cross," the manager said respectfully, his voice low so as not to draw attention. "Your penthouse suite has been prepared, as per your request. Would you like me to escort you up?"

Karvel shook his head. "Just the key."

"Of course, sir."

As Karvel waited, signing the final documents, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the quiet

    The hospital's sterile white corridors felt suffocating as Mariya walked beside Karvel's wheelchair toward the admission desk. The poison had been neutralized, but he was still weak and disoriented from the ordeal."The doctors want to keep you overnight for observation," Mariya said, trying to make conversation despite the tension between them."Fine," Karvel replied curtly, not bothering to look at her."Karvel, I know you're angry with me, but I need you to understand—""Understand what?" Karvel interrupted, his voice dripping with disdain. "That you want absolution for destroying our marriage? That you expect gratitude for driving me to the hospital after I nearly died saving your ungrateful life?"Mariya stopped walking, her hands trembling with frustration. "I'm trying to thank you!""I don't want your thanks," Karvel said coldly. "I don't want anything from you.""Why are you being so cruel?"Karvel finally looked at her, his eyes filled with contempt. "Cruel? You think I'm bei

    The makeshift antidote had slowed the poison's progression, but Karvel's condition continued to deteriorate. Dark veins pulsed visibly beneath his pale skin, and his breathing had become shallow and erratic."Karvel, stay with me," Mariya pleaded, kneeling beside him as he slumped against the blood-stained wall. "The antidote is working, right? You said it would work!""It's... buying time," Karvel managed through gritted teeth, his words slurred by the poison's effects. "But I need... proper medical treatment."Waves of delirium washed over him, making the room spin violently. Mariya's face kept shifting in and out of focus, sometimes appearing as a stranger, sometimes as the woman he had once loved."This is all my fault," Mariya whispered, tears streaming down her face. "You came here to save me, and now you're dying because of it. After everything I did to you, all the times I doubted you, you still risked your life for me."Karvel's eyes rolled back as another wave of hallucinati

    Karvel stepped between the twins and Mariya, expecting another routine confrontation with common thugs. But as Antonio Ricci and Salvatore Ricci moved in perfect synchronization, their coordinated attack patterns immediately told him these were no ordinary criminals."You made a mistake coming here, Mr. Cross," Antonio said, his movements fluid and precise like a trained assassin."The only mistake was made by whoever sent you," Karvel replied, deflecting Salvatore's initial strike.But his confidence quickly evaporated as the twins demonstrated skills that rivaled professional military operatives. Their attacks were relentless, calculated, and devastatingly effective."What's wrong, Cross?" Salvatore taunted as he landed a solid blow to Karvel's ribs. "Not as easy as you thought it would be?"Karvel stumbled backward, genuinely surprised by their capabilities. "Who trained you two?""The Ronin doesn't hire amateurs," Antonio replied, following up with a vicious combination that force

    "Karvel, thank God you answered!" Mariya's voice was hysterical with panic. "I'm in terrible danger! Leo is dead and there are people after me. They say I owe them money – billions of dollars! You have to help me!"Karvel looked directly at the hitman as he responded. "Mariya, I told you three years ago that Leo Romano was dangerous. I warned you not to marry him. You chose not to listen to me then, so why should I help you now?""Because I'm going to die!" she screamed through the phone. "They killed Leo in prison! They're going to kill me too if I don't pay them!""Then you should have thought about that before you chose a criminal over your husband," Karvel said with cruel indifference. "You made your bed, Mariya. Now lie in it.""Karvel, please! I know I was wrong about you, but—"But he hung up the call.The hitman's eyebrowless face remained expressionless as he listened to Mariya's desperate pleas echoing through Karvel's phone. When the call ended, he leaned back in his seat w

    Karvel stood in the luxurious lobby of the Meridian Hotel, his mind still processing Vivian's passionate plea to help Mariya.The marble floors gleamed under the crystal chandeliers, but his thoughts were darker.Leo Romano's death in prison had robbed him of the satisfaction of watching his enemy suffer the full consequences of his actions."Who is this organization?" he muttered to himself. "What kind of reach do they have to eliminate someone in maximum security?"As he walked toward the exit, two men in dark suits suddenly appeared, blocking his path. One was a stocky Italian with graying temples, the other younger with cold eyes."Excuse me, Mr. Cross," the older man said with a thick accent. "My name is Marco Benedetti, and this is my associate Giuseppe Romano. Our boss would like to have a word with you."Karvel's expression remained neutral. "I don't know your boss, and I have no interest in meeting him."Giuseppe stepped closer, his hand moving slightly toward his jacket. "Mr

    Mariya stared at him in disbelief. "I can't believe this. First Karvel won't answer my calls, now you're throwing me out. I've never felt so alone in my life.""I'm sorry, Mariya, but this is bigger than both of us. The Ronin doesn't negotiate, they don't show mercy, and they don't accept excuses. You need to find a way to pay them or...""Or what?"Dr. Yale's silence was answer enough.After Mariya left his office in tears, Dr. Yale immediately picked up his phone and dialed Karvel's number."Karvel, it's Edmund. We have a serious problem.""What kind of problem?" came Karvel's calm voice."Mariya just left my office. She says Leo Romano is dead and some organization called The Ronin is demanding twelve billion dollars from her. They claim she's responsible for his debts."There was a long pause before Karvel responded. "That's unfortunate for Mariya, but it has nothing to do with me.""Karvel, they killed Leo in prison. These people are dangerous. If they're operating in our city—"
