Every eye in the room turned toward the physician.
The head doctor of South City’s most prestigious hospital stood frozen. His mind was in chaos. Honey. Ginger. Pepper. Boiling water. What kind of medicine was that? He had spent thirty years studying abroad. He had chaired conferences. He had authored papers. And this young man…this former inmate had walked in and overturned everything. He looked around the room. Jeffrey Sky, Vanessa Sky, the nurses, the security guards. All watching and waiting. His reputation hung in the balance. How could he kneel? To an ex-convict? To a man with no degree? His pride rebelled violently. “Don’t get cocky, you scammer!” he snapped suddenly, his face flushing red. “She recovered because of my earlier treatments and antibiotics! Her body was already stabilizing!” He pointed accusingly at Kade. “It was coincidence! Timing! Not your ridiculous potion!” The room stiffened. Vanessa’s expression darkened. Jeffrey’s eyes turned cold. The doctor pressed on desperately. “You’re all being fooled! He mixed kitchen ingredients and you’re worshipping him like some miracle worker!” He turned sharply toward the guards. “Security! Remove this man from my hospital immediately!” Although hesitant, the guards exchanged uncertain glances before stepping forward. “Sir… please come with us,” one of them muttered, though his voice lacked conviction. They approached Kade cautiously, as if unsure whether they were escorting a criminal, or provoking something far worse. Kade didn’t move, or try to resist. He simply stood there calmly. As though the entire situation was beneath him. Before the guards could even reach out— “Stop.” Jeffrey’s voice cut through the room like a blade. The guards froze instantly. Jeffrey stepped forward, his expression no longer emotional or grateful. “Anyone,” he said slowly, his eyes sweeping across the security team, “who dares lay a finger on Mr. Hollow…” His jaw tightened. “…will regret it for the rest of their miserable lives.” The threat wasn’t exaggerated. It was factual. Everyone in South City knew who Jeffrey Sky was. If he decided to ruin you. You were finished. The guards immediately stepped back. The doctor’s face turned pale. “You— you can’t threaten hospital staff!” the doctor protested, though his voice had already lost strength. “I am the head physician here! I will not allow some fraud to undermine medical authority!” Jeffrey turned to face him. His gaze was filled with disappointment. “No,” Jeffrey said quietly. “You are the head physician of this hospital.” He stepped closer. “And yet you wagered your professional integrity in front of witnesses.” The doctor swallowed. Jeffrey continued, voice steady and sharp. “You entered into a public verbal agreement. A binding conditional contract witnessed by multiple parties.” He gestured around the room. “Nurses. Security. Myself. My wife.” His eyes hardened. “Under civil liability law, refusal to honor a witnessed agreement constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation and professional misconduct. I can file a formal complaint with the Medical Licensing Board for ethical violation and breach of professional oath.” The doctor’s breathing grew uneven. “And if I choose,” Jeffrey added calmly, “I can press charges for defamation and attempted unlawful detention.” The doctor’s forehead began to bead with sweat. “You… you wouldn’t…” Jeffrey’s voice dropped lower. “Test me.” The weight of those two words crushed whatever pride the doctor had left. His knees trembled. This wasn’t just about humiliation anymore. This was about losing his license. His career. His reputation.His freedom. Then slowly— The head doctor of South City Hospital bent his knees. His expensive coat wrinkled against the sterile hospital floor. He lowered his head. “I…” His voice cracked. “I apologize.” He forced himself to continue. “I was wrong to doubt your abilities. Please forgive my arrogance, Mr. Hollow.” The nurses stared in disbelief. The guards looked away in embarrassment. Kade looked down at him. His expression didn’t change. There was no triumph in his eyes. No satisfaction. The doctor was insignificant. Whether he knelt or stood— It made no difference. Jeffrey walked over respectfully. “Mr. Hollow,” he said sincerely. “Thank you once again. As agreed…” He gestured toward one of his subordinates. The man stepped forward immediately and handed over a thick stack of files. Jeffrey took them and presented them with both hands. “These are everything I’ve gathered over the years. Financial trails. Witness statements. Internal reports.” His voice lowered. “It will aid you in your search for justice.” He looked directly at Kade. “And I will support you in any way I can.” Kade accepted the documents without ceremony. “I shall take my leave now.” Jeffrey hesitated. “But… where will you go? You may stay at my residence until you decide your next move. It would be an honor.” Kade interrupted calmly. “I’ll find my way.” Without another word, he turned and walked out of the hospital room. The hallway parted naturally as he passed. When he stepped outside , the evening air was cool. Meanwhile across the street. A fleet of black vehicles lined the curb. They weren’t ostentatious, but unmistakably elite. Three figures stood in front of the lead car. A woman in a fitted black suit and two men behind her. The moment they saw him… All three dropped to one knee. They lowered their heads, as they said in one voice. “Young Master, the Azure Organization has awaited your return.”Latest Chapter
The Asphalt Nightmare 3
The Lamborghini continued tearing down the highway, its engine roaring as Mark pushed it beyond its limits. The speedometer hovered near 500 km/h, but the vehicle was beginning to show signs of the punishment.The entire car vibrated violently. The steering wheel shook beneath Mark’s hands, forcing him to tighten his grip as he struggled to keep the vehicle straight. Even the slightest movement threatened to send the Lamborghini veering off course.Beside him, Elara was being tossed against her seat by every sudden movement. She clutched the door handle, her face pale with terror.“Mark! Slow down!” she screamed. “You’re going to kill us!”He ignored her, keeping his eyes fixed on the road.“MARK! PLEASE!”“Will you shut up?!” he snapped.Just then, Mark spotted headlights approaching from the opposite direction. A vehicle was coming straight toward them.His eyes widened.“Shit!”Elara saw it too. Her entire body stiffened as the distance between the two vehicles rapidly disappeared.
The Asphalt Nightmare 2
Kade watched the Lamborghini surge forward, his jaw tightening.“Has that bastard gone insane?”The speed displayed on the Lamborghini’s dashboard was already beyond what any ordinary driver should attempt. At that velocity, even a minor mistake could send the car spinning out of control. One wrong turn, one poorly judged corner, and Elara could lose her life.Kade couldn’t afford to let that happen.I need to get Elara out of that car before he kills both of them.He pressed the accelerator harder. His own speed climbed rapidly, but his car could only reach a maximum of 350 km/h. It wasn’t enough to catch the Lamborghini while Mark continued pushing it beyond its limits.Still, Kade wasn’t an ordinary driver.He kept his eyes on the road, his hands moving with remarkable precision. Rather than wasting time trying to match every burst of speed, he focused on the racing line, anticipating Mark’s movements and choosing the safest route through each stretch.The first major curve approac
The Asphalt Nightmare
Mark drove through the night with one hand on the steering wheel, occasionally glancing at Elara. She sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her eyes darting between him and the road. Every time she considered reaching for the door handle, she remembered how violently he had reacted at the house.Then, without warning, Mark began singing.“♪ Oh, my darling, don’t you cry. Tonight, tonight, you’ll be mine. No more running, no goodbye. Just you and me until we die… ♪”His voice was cheerful, almost playful. He even tapped his fingers against the steering wheel in rhythm, completely out of tune. The contrast between his cheerful performance and the circumstances made Elara’s stomach turn.“♪ They can search the world for you, but they’ll never find you… ♪”“Mark…” Elara whispered.He continued singing, smiling as though he were enjoying a romantic evening.“♪ I’ll keep you close, I’ll keep you safe. Forever yours, no escape… ♪”“Mark, please. This isn’t right.” Her voice trembled. “Whatever
The Hunt Begins
“No! Let me go! Where are you taking me?!”Elara struggled desperately as Mark dragged her by the arm toward the front door. She tried pulling away, digging her heels into the floor, but his grip was too strong. No matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t break free.“Stop struggling,” Mark snapped. “You’re making a simple trip unnecessarily difficult.”“You’re insane! Let me go!”He ignored her protests and dragged her outside. The moment they stepped into the driveway, Mark stopped. His attention had shifted to the Lamborghini parked nearby, its sleek body reflecting the security lights.A smile slowly spread across his face.“So the rumours were true,” he remarked, releasing a small laugh. “You really did win the latest Lamborghini at the auction.”He walked around the car, admiring it for a moment before looking back at Elara.“Not bad, sweetheart. I suppose we should take this to our honeymoon.”“Don’t you dare!” Elara snapped, trying to pull her arm free again.Mark ignored her.
Mark’s obsession
Mark began counting on his fingers, his voice growing louder with every word. “I’m richer than him. My family is more influential than his. I have businesses, properties, connections! I can give you anything you want. Anything! And what does that man have? He’s a nobody who runs around pretending to be your protector!” He stopped pacing and stared at her. “Is that what you like? His muscles? His stupid face? The way he walks around acting like he owns the world?” Elara tried to pull her trapped arm free. “You’re sick, Mark.” For a moment, he said nothing. Then he burst into laughter. “I’m sick?” He pointed at himself, laughing harder. “Did you hear that? She thinks I’m sick!” His laughter stopped as abruptly as it had started. His expression hardened, and he stepped toward her. “You know what, Elara? I think you’ve been spending too much time with him. He’s filled your head with nonsense. He made you believe you could reject me and walk away without consequences.” “I never
THE UNWANTED VISITOR
Elara paced restlessly around the sitting room, glancing at the clock every few seconds. Kade had been gone longer than she expected, and the one-hour deadline he had given the kidnappers had already passed. Her phone was still with him, leaving her with no way to contact anyone or find out what was happening.She had no idea whether Kade had reached her parents, whether they were safe, or whether the kidnappers had already harmed them. Every possibility made her more anxious. She had tried sitting down, but she couldn’t stay still for more than a few seconds.I need to do something, she told herself, stopping beside the couch. I can’t just keep waiting.Just then, a knock sounded at the door.Elara’s face brightened. She hurried toward it, already imagining Kade standing outside with her parents. Perhaps he had finally brought them home.“Kade? I knew you’d—”Her words died in her throat as she opened the door.Mark Knox stood on the other side, wearing a wide, unsettling smile.“Hi,
