Ch. 241 The one holding the ladder
Storm Group HeadquartersChairman Zeraya Storm's OfficeTime: 3:26 p.m.Zeraya was seated on her special executive chair, crafted from spirit Brahm leather and ghost deer skin. Her office, despite belonging to a woman, was decorated in muted cream tones, giving the expansive space a quiet elegance that contrasted sharply with the authority it radiated. Behind her, rows of awards and certifications hung neatly on the wall, each one a testament to years of sacrifice, relentless effort, and the battles she had fought to establish herself within Vaelon's business scene.Near the adjacent door, close to the sliding entrance disguised as part of the wall, stood a massive storage cabinet made from indestructible titan glass.Different weapons, ancient paintings, and battle artifacts were displayed within it, securely locked away yet still left in full view, almost as though the collection itself was a silent reminder that the Storm Group was not merely a business empire.The office was expa
Ch. 240 A lesson on who should not be touched
Ragnar's nose flared slightly, and he gritted his teeth.“One day, I will tie her up and spank her butt beet red.” He uttered the bitter vow under his breath, low enough that only he could hear it.However, even as he said it, the words sounded ridiculous to his own ears.Who was Vireille?She was a sixteen-year-old Rank Five (5) Colonel of a special forces team.Even though she hadn't ranked within the top three of the genius rankings years ago, everyone agreed that she had deliberately reserved part of her strength, choosing to reveal her true abilities only during Tasking missions.In the entire Vaelon, if you mentioned the top ten most accomplished youths under the age of twenty-one, you had to mention her.Her last known rank was Saint Realm.Have you ever seen a sixteen-year-old Saint Realm cultivator?Reaching the Saint Realm in his late twenties had been enough to bring out so much arrogance in Kelvin in Ragnar's past life.Yet a sixteen-year-old girl had casually achieved it.
Ch. 239 Order from the little witch
Ragnar's mind was working fast. There were risks, but there were gains too.He might have said yes without a second thought.But with a bounty hanging over his sister's head, leaving her here to enter somewhere that might lead to a different unknown planet entirely, didn't sit well with him.What if something went wrong while he was away? Who would protect his sister?“Ragnar,” a hint of disappointment crept into Vireille's voice. “In this life, sacrifices are necessary. Don't think being the highest scorer in the academy tournament means you're hot stuff.”Ragnar's brows furrowed at her tone.“In the real world, that bit of power is nothing. Those classmates of yours are trash. A school record is nothing. If you want to know if you're truly capable, try competing at the national level.”“No,” she added after some thought. “International level.”“Eadom is a small place. In Vaelon alone, geniuses that can crush Imperial Elite Academy students are like pebbles around a beach. Then facto
Ch. 238 A mysterious ancient space appears
Ragnar almost laughed. Why did everything seem to require his life before it could work out?“You want my life? Vireille, have you gone crazy, or am I the one hard of hearing?”“Listen to me,” Vireille said, her tone calm and measured. “Nothing good comes easy. If you're not willing to risk your life, how will you get to the apex? Don't you have ambitions?”Ragnar sneered.He did have ambitions, and he had taken numerous life-threatening risks since his rebirth. Every climb to his current position had come with close brushes with death, moments where one wrong decision or one second of hesitation could have sent him straight back to the grave.That was how he had gotten here.“Vireille, if you want me to stake my life, you need to tell me exactly what's going on. You don't say such words lightly and expect me to simply hop on.”Vireille chuckled. “Worried I might rope you into a conspiracy? Or set you up?”Ragnar remained silent.“Don't worry, I'm only trying to wash the stink off you
Ch. 237 Stake your life
“Little simp.” Her infamous greeting was the first thing he heard.His nose immediately curled with displeasure. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile onto his face.“Hellhound, did you miss me?”“Humph!” Vireille snorted over the phone. “Who do you think you are? Who will miss a weak little simp like yourself?”“Why did you call? Spit it out.” Ragnar snapped impatiently.Vireille might look like a darling, but she always had a way of bringing out the worst in him. Her temper and bomb-like personality aside, her tongue and words were particularly grating, each sentence somehow finding the exact nerve to irritate him beyond reason.“I heard what happened. Weren't you foolish? Such things shouldn't be exposed, you know.”Ragnar's eyes narrowed at her words. “Was that why you called me? If you're done, hang up immediately.”His heart rate slowed a little. If it was another piece of devastating bad news that he hadn't heard before, an emergency that required his immediate attention, Vir
Little Psycho
Ragnar sneered.“Orders have become particularly displeasing to my ears recently,” he muttered under his breath.“What did you just say?” Kenneth's tone was deathly calm, his pitch lower and more dangerous than Ragnar had heard it in a long time.However, it wasn't time yet to tear off the façade. Especially not with the looming threat over his sister's head. One less desperate enemy meant more time bought, and Ragnar wasn't about to throw away that advantage simply because Kenneth's hypocrisy was getting on his nerves.“I unfortunately cannot extricate myself from my current engagements.” Ragnar deliberately made his voice sound as meek as possible. “If the problem is indeed that urgent, I can call my sister to help.”Mathilda hissed from the other end, clearly annoyed and impatient. The snake venom was practically rolling off her in waves.“Even if I come, there isn't much that I can do.” His words were accompanied by a long, deep sigh, one filled with what sounded like genuine remo
