The Eyes of a King
last update2025-06-29 17:18:02

Richard stared at Dane’s face as he spoke, his words sharp and unshaken. And in that moment, Richard saw it—Dane wasn’t bluffing. There was no fear in his eyes. Only fire.

The look said it all.

The eyes of someone who had survived too much.

The eyes of someone who wanted to be king.

Richard kept staring, slowly leaning in, and the more he looked, the more it unsettled him. Dane wasn’t even close to power yet, but his eyes—those eyes—looked like someone who might one day surpass him. They held hunger, ambition, rage. The kind of look Richard had seen before… in the mirror, when he was younger.

And it pissed him off.

He snapped. Without thinking, he stood up and drove his foot into Dane’s face—full force.

Blood sprayed from Dane’s mouth, hitting the dirty floor as his head snapped to the side. His breathing turned rapid, chest heaving.

“How dare you,” Richard shouted. “You nobody! Who the hell do you think you are challenging me like that? Talking to me like that?”

He leaned over Dane,

  • Mission of No Return

    As Dane reached the room, Jota opened the door for him, and he stepped inside. He looked at Jimmy. The room fell into silence before Jimmy finally broke it. He was sitting with his hands resting on his desk, his head tilted forward. Without a word, he gestured to Dane.Dane walked over and opened the travel bag. Inside were all sorts of weapons—some he had never seen before. There was even a sniper rifle, a smoke screen, and nearly every other piece of equipment he could think of. He kept staring, then looked up at Jimmy.“So what about the car you said you were going to prepare for me?” Dane asked.“I spoke with Butcher. He said we shouldn’t give you a car—you’re too good at riding bikes,” Jimmy replied.Dane paused, disappointed. I really wanted to ride a car. I’m sure it would’ve been an exotic one. But now they’re saying I can’t even get that? he thought.Then he said aloud, “Okay.”“You want to take all the guns? Everything?” Jimmy asked.“No,” Dane replied. “It’s going to be too

  • Trigger Hour

    As he took a bite of the steak, he realized it was incredibly delicious—and immediately began to eat faster. He rushed through the meal, finishing it quickly. Once done, he began undressing. He pulled off the suit he was wearing, folded it neatly, and placed it by the side of his bed. Then he removed his leather shoes.Now in just his underwear, he walked to the closet in the room and found a singlet inside. He put it on, then glanced at his phone. It was already 8 p.m.I need to sleep and reserve energy, he thought. He wanted to train, but knew he shouldn’t wear himself out the night before the mission. So he decided he’d just take a long nap—get some solid rest and be fully ready for tomorrow.He went to his bed, turned off the light, and fell asleep.The following day, as soon as he woke up, he rushed to the bathroom to pee. After that, he rinsed his mouth and took a quick shower. Coming back into the room, he walked to the closet, grabbed a towel, and dried himself off. Then he go

  • A Room in the Enemy’s House

    Dane picked up the phone,“I just received information that you’ve already reached one of my skyscrapers in Genoa,” Butcher said.“Yes, sir. So it’s you who owns it?” Dane asked.“Yeah. I hope there’s no problem,” Butcher replied.Dane was about to say there wasn’t, but then he remembered Jimmy’s behavior.“Sir… I don’t think I can trust Jimmy,” Dane said into the phone. “Since I came under you, I’ve noticed a lot of people—even back on the ship—don’t like me. Plenty of them envy me. Same with Gary. He hates me like I did something to him, but I never did. And now Jimmy too.”Butcher replied calmly, “Listen, if there’s anyone I trust—anyone who’s a real man—it’s Jimmy. You can count on him. He might come off that way, but he’s a good person. Just don’t argue with him too much. He’s not the type to hold back. If you push too far—or throw a punch—he won’t hesitate to kill you. And if it comes to a fight between you and Jimmy, you won’t win. So don’t mess with him. I told him to arrange

  • Gravewalk

    “Yes, maybe I’m the type who’s always in a hurry,” Dane said coldly, “but I didn’t come here to chat with you, make friends, or waste time. Just give me the gun and let me leave.” Jimmy had been smiling, but his face hardened. “You… you’re new to this, aren’t you? Don’t talk to me like that. I’m trying to be nice to you because of Butcher. But believe me—you won’t survive this mission. You’re walking straight into your grave.” He stepped forward slightly. “I already sent some of my men. Butcher asked me to send them ahead to get his nephew. But it turns out the kid is being watched. All ten of them were killed. His nephew hasn’t been captured yet, but they’re clearly under surveillance. And if those people spot you? You’re dead. So tell me—who the hell are you? You’re just one man. One.” Jimmy’s jaw tightened as he clenched his fist. “I told Butcher this. But he insisted you’re different.” He gave a cold, mocking smile. “Butcher said we should prepare a room for you to stay in.

  • Arrival in Giona

    From the helicopter, Dane looked out at the view below. The city stretched out beneath him, lights twinkling, buildings rising like monuments. He was admiring it quietly, just watching, lost in thought.Then his phone buzzed.A message came in. The buzz broke his focus, and he looked down at the screen.It was from Butcher.He opened the message. Butcher had sent him pictures—faces of the people he was supposed to meet. Along with the pictures came instructions and the place where he’d find them.He was to interrogate them, not kill them. That part was clear.They were different. Even if they had never been to Genoa, Butcher had given him precise directions on how to get there and everything he needed to know. Dane understood it.But there was one thing missing.He didn’t know where his stopping point would beWell, I just have to see. Wait and see where the chopper lands, Dane thought, continuing to look out at the view from the helicopter. Let me see the city—Giona. Let me see how g

  • This Is My Life Now

    As he got into the car—which was a limousine—Dane didn’t say a word to the driver. About forty-five minutes later, after the long, quiet drive, the car finally stopped in front of a tall building. A skyscraper. It was Dane’s first time seeing one up close. The driver rolled down the window. Dane leaned slightly, looking out through the glass. His mouth opened in awe. Wow… this is so, so beautiful, he thought. Then he turned and looked straight at the driver. “Is this my destination?” “Yes, it is,” the driver replied, still facing forward. “But you were supposed to drop me at the helicopter. I’m supposed to board it,” Dane said. “My job was to bring you here. There’s someone waiting for you inside the building. Someone important,” the driver replied. Dane nodded. He reached into his pocket, checked the position of his gun, then slipped it back inside his jacket. His suit shifted as he moved. Then he opened the limousine door—smooth, steady, and slow. The area was crowded. Peo
