Kai was absolutely stunned, he had no idea what was happening and who this man that was calling himself his grandfather was.

“I’ve been…” The old man’s words got stuck in his throat when his gaze fell upon Kai’s blood-covered body, his teeth gritted in anger and his expression twisted with fury.

He was going to ask Kai who did this to him but he scanned the area and was immediately able to deduce that the gang members were the ones responsible for attacking Kai.

He was a ball of pure anger, rage pulsed through his veins and his blood quickened with the raw anger that shot through him.

There’s no way he’s going to let a bunch of thugs go after doing this to his grandson.

With a wave of his hand, the old man signaled his bodyguards, who swiftly surrounded the gang members.

The gang members were trembling in fear, they knew really well that they dared not resist or run away. When Jake had hired them, he didn’t tell them that Kai was the grandson of a powerful person.

Their legs shook in fear and they all swallowed hard as they waited for the fate that awaited them. The old man and the men in black were too scary and well-trained for a small gang of thugs.

The men in black launched into a ruthless assault, mercilessly beating the gang members. Their screams of agony resonated through the air and their throes of pain were vivid.

They stood no chance whatsoever against the assaults, they couldn’t even defend themselves and all they could do was cry and beg for mercy.

“I’m. We—” Kai collapsed on the ground, he was unable to remain standing and the feeling of weakness that took over him was overwhelming, his heart pounded really hard against his chest.

He closed his eyes and waited for what was going to happen next but despite the pain and weakness he was feeling, he also sensed an unfamiliar force slowly restoring his strength.

The pain, fatigue and weakness he felt slowly started to fade away and minutes later, the gang leader, bruised and battered, was dragged before Kai, his face swollen beyond recognition.

The thug was shaking, fear, stark and vivid shone in his eyes while Kai stood high above him, his presence accompanied by a palpable sense of raw power.

Kai gave off an intimidating, merciless aura. His energy was dark, intense and utterly ruthless and even though he hadn’t done anything to the thug, the thug was already yielding to the immense power.

“Who sent you to kill me?” Kai sneered, his aura was one of unrelenting ferocity, exuding a sense of raw intimidating energy and the bruised Thug only trembled.

“Was it Jake Benson?!” Kai demanded, emanating an aura of unyielding strength and dominance, the air around him was so different that even the thug leader couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, please spare me and I promise that our path will never cross.” The thug bowed his head to Kai, barely able to speak as he pleaded, his words falling out of his mouth as if he was eating something really hot.

“Please forgive me!” He pleaded but Kai’s eyes had already turned red in anger, “It was Jake, He sent us to silence you and told us that you were weak.”

“Jake Benson was the one who told us that you were getting in his way and we should take you out,” The thug leader confessed, “Spare me, please.” He quickly added, not daring to look Kai in the eyes.

Kai trembled with rage, anger rising in him like a tide; he went cold with fury and breathless with utter rage that almost pushed him to the edge.

All he could think about at the moment was how to rest not just these thugs but also the Benson family, a lesson that they wouldn’t forget for as long as they lived.

The old man, however, remained impassive, his eyes devoid of sympathy as he glanced down at the gang members.

He felt nothing but hatred for them, how dare they try to hurt his grandson. His expression was cold, his glare was so piercing that the thugs could feel it.

“You think you can touch my grandson and get away with it?” The man said coldly, he didn’t lose composure or act out of anger as a small, wicked smile that sent chills down the spine of the gang took over his mouth.

With a snap of his finger, the men in black assembled behind him while one of them hurriedly came to stand beside him.

“Get rid of all of them and make their deaths look like an accident.” The old man said coldly without caring.

The thugs, when they heard this, all fell to their knees at once. None of them wanted to die, they regretted ever crossing paths with Kai and even hated the Bensons.

“Please don’t do this,” the leader begged as he kept hitting his head on the ground to atone for his mistake, “I’ll do anything you want, anything, I don’t want to die.”

“We will leave the country, you’d never see us again, please spare us. We’ll also make sure to cut ties with the Bensons, we’ll go off the radar.”

The gang members begged for their lives but the one man’s mind had been made up already and nothing could shake the decision he had made.

While the gangsters begged for their lives, Kai was left in awe and shock by the old man’s ruthless nature, even his eyes were dark and conveyed nothing.

Kai could tell that this man who calls himself his grandfather was not just an important person but also a very powerful man, even more powerful than the Benson’s.

He radiated an energy that made it clear that whenever he walked into a noisy room, the room went silent and everyone stood up for him.

“Let’s pick up where we left off.” The old man said, his expression softening at once as he turned to look at Kai.

There was a look of calmness, adoration and gladness in the old man’s eyes. Looking at Kai caused his cold demeanor to melt into one of quiet excitement.

“I— I still can’t believe my eyes, you really are alive.” The old man said in a calm, yet emotional voice. His eyes also glistened with the tears of joy that he was desperately holding back.

He had come face to face with his grandson after years upon years of searching all over for him.

“My name is Fabio Grant, I am your grandfather, and as surprising as this next information might seem, you, Kai, are the sole heir to the Grant family’s vast fortune.”

    They were both quiet for the longest time, doing nothing but listen to each other breathe, they were both exhausted but now that they were together, in each other’s arms, neither of them wanted to sleep.Catherine sighed, and turned around, her gaze instantly meeting Kai’s and holding it there for a long moment before she finally cleared her throat, wanting to say what she’s been keeping in.“I didn’t think you would make a decision as rash as that.” She said, that wasn’t what she really wanted to say but it was a start, the kind of decision Kai had made because of her were all the kinds that could have been really detrimental to his health.“Why would you think that?” Kai asked, chuckling for a bit and then stopping when he saw the seriousness in her eyes. “I mean, you should know that when it comes down to you, I wouldn’t think twice.” He finished.“I know,” she replied honestly, and that was exactly what she was scared of, why wouldn’t he put himself first? Why wouldn’t he even thi

    Kai finished talking and Lorenzo didn’t say anything, not at first. He couldn’t possibly say anything, not after everything Kai had just said, hitting the nail on the head.Yes, he had been feeling frustrated but he wasn’t a child, he knew that some things were meant for them to face alone without help, and the issue with the portal was one of them but still….…. He can’t help but feel like he has failed himself. He vowed to always be by Kai’s side, promising that he was going to help Kai through everything but how would he do that if he keeps standing behind.“Dang,” Lorenzo shouted before laughing so hard that there were streaks of tears in his eyes, “I look so pathetic that you had to think up a motivational speech for me.” He laughed.“Lorenzo, I—”“I understand,” Lorenzo cut in before Kai could say anything, “and I’ll admit that I was frustrated, but after what you just said, I just want to get even stronger and help in any way I can.” He added.“If Lorenzo gets any stronger than

    Kai’s gaze met his grandfather’s who only shrugged, he had no idea whether or not he should tell them and it’s not because he didn’t trust them to keep it a secret but because he didn’t want to laden them with more things to carry.He had only just found out about the divine realm and regardless of the help, and what his grandfather had told him, he had his own doubts because he couldn’t stop thinking about what they were doing when they were in a pinch.They vowed to protect him and Catherine but they had comfortably sat on their own hands and watched as they fought against a realm that’s practically immortal.“Nothing much, I promise,” Kai said, yawning and scratching the back of his head as he laid on the couch so comfortably that the gang almost didn’t want to believe that it was really ‘nothing much’.“We’ve been through too much to let ourselves get bothered by anything else, I know you can feel the energy still cackling in the air….” Kai’s voice trailed off as he smiled.“But r

    Their voices rang in unison as they both stared at Fabio with a look of disbelief. What did he mean by ‘they haven’t sensed any life threatening signal from them’?Catherine’s teeth clattered as she recalled everything they went through in the other realm, it had been nothing but life threatening. And at some point, she was convinced they might actually die there.It was a good thing that she believed in Kai, and the people in this realm had faith that they were going to make it back, and if they didn’t, they were ready to come as a rescue team.“That has to be a joke, right? Right?” Catherine asked, her voice guttural, her eyes twitching as anger rolled over her skin, “it’s definitely a joke, or whatever they’re using to check the signal is broken.”“True!” Kai agreed immediately, throwing away the fact that he was supposed to be the strongest. He didn’t care anymore at this point because of what he’d heard Fabio say.“What are you talking about? Everything we went through in that he

    The house felt so warm that Kai couldn’t help but smile as he stared at the cup of tea that Atticus had given to him, his heart felt full and warm as he took another sip.“I heard that, Atticus!” Teresa called through gritted teeth, she was still right beside Catherine, who was smiling so hard that she could feel her facial muscles dying.“I swear to every living god that I meant everything I said as a compliment and not a death wish.” Atticus called back, his brows raising so high that it was almost obvious he was scared of Teresa.He wasn’t scared of her but their dynamic had become one that made Teresa such a big bully that every single man, including Kai, knows not to cross her deadly path.“I don’t know about that but I’m also swearing to you that I’m not going to kill you.” Teresa called back, and Lorenzo couldn’t hold back his laughter.“That’s her basically saying she’s going to kill you the next chance she gets,” Lorenzo said amidst laughter as he made his way towards Atticus

    Catherine couldn’t get rid of the smile on her face, being back home felt even better than she had expected it to be. She was glad that they’d made it, and when she looked at Kai, chills snaked down her spine.He was watching her through his half open eyes as if she wasn’t real, or something was going to happen if he took his eyes off of her. Something warm spread across Catherine’s stomach and she smiled back at him.Weakness soon started creeping in and her eyes rolled back, the room looked like it was spinning and her legs could barely hold her up anymore.“Fuck.” She muttered as she sank onto the rug near the fireplace, still shaking. The flames painted her face in soft gold, catching the faint streaks of dirt on her cheeks.Her fingers wouldn’t stop trembling, her temples throbbed and she could almost hear her blood gushing so fast that she couldn’t differentiate it from the thumping of her heart.“There,” Teresa said as she crouched beside her, wrapping a blanket around her shou
