Chapter 139
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-nineAdrian’s grip tightened on the steering wheel until the plastic groaned. "Who is this?"The line without a dial tone, went into dead leaving just a cold, empty silence.Adrian tossed the phone onto the dash next to the Sovereign Card. A trap? He had spent years in the Cape city living like a dog; he had survived the insults and mockery from everyone he could think of, even the ones he didn’t know. If the South was a trap, he would simply tear the trap apart with his bare hands."Thorne," Adrian barked into the radio. "Increase the speed. I want to be at the Medical Center in five minutes.""Understood, Master!" Thorne’s voice crackled back.Ten armored SUVs swerved into the emergency lane, clearing a path through the city traffic like a black tidal wave. Adrian didn't care about the laws of the road. He only cared about one thing, his sister, Emily.The rusted truck screeched to a halt in the ambulance-only zone of the Southern Medical Center.Zane
Chapter 138
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-EightThe silence in the garden was absolute. The only sound was the drip of the fountain and the soft sob coming from Zane, who was still curled in a ball on the expensive gravel.Prince Lucius stared at his uncle, Lord Silas. The man who controlled the Southern District’s banks, the man who held the purse strings of the entire Vale branch, was currently face-down in the dirt.“Uncle Silas?” Lucius’s voice cracked. “What are you doing? Get up! This... this trash driver is a thief! He has a fake card, he kidnapped Zane, and he—""SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Silas roared, his voice muffled by the gravel. He didn't dare lift his head. "Lucius, if you want to live to see the sunset, get on your knees! NOW!"The guests, the elite of the Southern Hemisphere, whispered in shock. They looked at Adrian, who was casually leaning against the rusted door of his truck. He looked completely out of place in his salt-stained sweater, yet he held the room with a gravity that made

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-SevenThe engine of the rusted truck let out a thick cloud of black smoke as it pulled away from the border.Behind it, three military helicopters hovered like guardian angels of death. A dozen armored SUVs followed in a perfect line, their tires crunching over the very mud Zane had bragged about owning. To any observer, it looked like a king was being escorted except the king was driving a vehicle that looked like it belonged in a scrap yard.Inside the cabin, the silence was heavy.Zane Vale sat pressed against the passenger door, trying to keep his custom silk uniform from touching the greasy dashboard. Every time the truck hit a pothole, the rattling sound made him jump."Adrian... Lord Adrian," Zane stammered, his voice thin. "My father... he has millions in offshore accounts. He can transfer it all to you right now. Just... just let me out before we reach the Capital. If the other families see me like this..."Adrian didn't even turn his head. He k
Chapter 136
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-SixThe rain over the Southern Border was falling nonstop. Adrian sat in the cabin of his rattling truck, the steering wheel cold under his palms. To any passerby, he was a trash driver in a soaked, salt-stained sweater, with his hands calloused and his boots caked in North District filth.“Halt! Kill the engine, you pathetic dog! Step out of that scrap heap before I have it towed into the ravine!”A blinding spotlight tore through the rain blinding Adrian, and a young man stepped out from a heated, glass-walled VIP lounge, holding a glass of amber liquid. This was Zane, the cousin of the Southern Prince Lucius. He wore a custom uniform that cost more than a mansion. The gold on his shoulders shined brightly, showing off his wealth even in the dark rain.“Look at this,” Zane sneered, his voice booming over the checkpoint’s loudspeakers so his friends could enjoy the show. “Ugh. I can smell the poverty coming off this engine.” he clicked his tongue. “A

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FiveThe Andrews estate, once a symbol of high-society pretension, now felt like a hollow tomb. The elite guests scrambled for the exits, tripping over their silk gowns and patent leather shoes, desperate to distance themselves from the "living ghost" standing at the head of the table.Adrian didn't look at the fleeing cowards. He stood perfectly still, the salt-water from his clothes forming a dark pool on the expensive Persian rug. He looked at the Hegemony’s agent, who was still frozen in his seat, clutching the black arrow Adrian had driven into the table."Where is the Altar?" Adrian asked. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a vibration that made the wine glasses in the room hum and shatter one by one."I—I don't know the exact coordinates!" the agent stammered, his eyes darting to the door. "It's somewhere in the Southern Mangroves... the 'Sovereign Dead Zone.' Lucius said no electronics work there! You'll never find it!""Sterling," Adrian said
Chapter 134
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FourWhile the North Atlantic swallowed the secrets of the Vale Clan, the North District was bathed in the warm, artificial glow of the Andrews' ancestral estate. Derek Andrews stood at the head of the long mahogany table with a glass of vintage champagne in his hand. He looked at the gathered elites—minor lords, business rivals, and the remnants of the Vance Main Branch—with a smug grin."To Adrian Vald," Derek projected, his voice dripping with fake tragedy. "A man who lived like a beggar and died like a fool. He thought a scholarship and a few lucky medical tricks made him a Master. He went to the Island of Silence to play hero, and now... well, the ocean is a very large grave."Martha Andrews dabbed a dry eye with a silk handkerchief. "It’s a tragedy, truly. But at least our Lina is finally free from that parasite. Now we can focus on the real business by selling the North District Hub to the Southern Hegemony."Lina sat at the far end of the table,
