The Capital’s Decree
The rain over Mount Valen felt like ice needles, but the voice through the satellite receiver was even colder."A blood-feud?" Caleb asked, his tone level as he stared into the dark valley below.A dry, arrogant chuckle echoed through the line."Did you think a backwater city like Riverdale was big enough to hold the secrets of the Sterling bloodline? Vivian's mother carried something that belongs to the Valerius Clan of the Imperial Capital. As of ten minutes ago, the Clan Council issued an Imperial Extraction Decree. Fifty enforcers are already surrounding the Sterling family manor.""Who are you?" Caleb demanded."I am Dominic Valerius, Third Regent of the Imperial Clan. If you want your little wife to see the morning sun, bring the jade heirloom to the Riverdale docks before three in the morning. Come with an army, and we will slit her throat before your boots touch the pier."Click.The line went dead.Caleb lowered the satellite phone. The glass screen cracked under the sudden f
The Flying Stone
Chapter 11: The Flying BladeThe dagger tore through the air with a supersonic shriek.Sixty feet above, behind three inches of reinforced bulletproof glass, Lord Blackwood held the detonator with his thumb pressed hard against the switch.CRACK!The glass didn't merely spiderweb—it shattered into powder.Liviana’s heavy steel blade punched clean through the reinforced window, pierced Lord Blackwood’s right wrist, and pinned his hand to the mahogany table behind him with a wet thud.The detonator flew from his severed grip, clattering across the carpeted floor.Blackwood screamed in agony, dark arterial blood spraying across the leather armchairs.Down in the pit, the red digital counter on the iron cage blinked: 00:01.Click.The transmission signal died the instant the detonator hit the carpet. The countdown froze. The three kilograms of C4 plastic explosive wired beneath Helena’s feet went cold.Inside the cage, Helena Sterling slumped against the steel bars, slipping into unconsci
The Jade Rabbit
The curved silver blade whistled through the air, inches from Caleb’s jugular.Caleb did not raise a weapon. He leaned back on his heels, the tip of the steel grazing the collar of his jacket.Before he could reset his stance, Liviana spun on her left boot, driving a spinning roundhouse kick straight toward his temple. The kick carried the whistling crack of compressed air—pure, lethal martial arts trained to kill in a single strike.Caleb brought up his right forearm to block.Thud!The impact reverberated up his arm like a sledgehammer hitting iron. The sand beneath Caleb’s feet blasted outward in a three-foot ring.Liviana landed lightly on the bloody earth, her eyes beneath the silver mask narrow, calculating, and empty. She didn't pause. She lunged forward again, her twin karambit daggers weaving a blinding cage of silver arcs around his torso.Slash. Stab. Sever.Every single strike targeted a vital artery: carotid, femoral, subclavian.Caleb retreated three steps, parrying each
BloodMatch Contract
The armored convoy tore through the rain, crossing the provincial border into Valenreach at over a hundred miles per hour.Inside the cabin, Caleb stared at the surveillance photograph on the tablet screen.The woman in the black ballistic armor had the same jawline, the same narrow eyes, and the same slight tilt of the head as the little girl who used to tug on his sleeve fifteen years ago. But her stance was cold, predatory, and lethal."She has no recollection of her past," Marcus reported, his voice low against the hum of the engine. "Our intelligence indicates the Blackwood Syndicate subjected her to chemical neural wipes every six months. In their ranks, she is known only as Commander Viper—the undefeated enforcer of the northern underground."Caleb closed the tablet. His fingers tightened until the plastic casing creaked."Lord Blackwood didn't take Helena Sterling to extort money," Caleb said, his voice flat. "He took her to force me into the arena against my own sister.""It
The Price of Treason
The boardroom plunged into absolute chaos."Taken?" Vivian gasped, her phone slipping from her fingers and clattering against the mahogany table. "My mother... taken by who?"Nobody answered her. The board directors were staring at the television screen mounted on the wall. Live news footage showed the high-rise glass headquarters of Hayes Logistics at the Riverdale Port surrounded by federal tactical teams, emergency sirens painting the morning sky red.The company was finished. But Trenton Hayes had not surrendered.Julian Sterling suddenly lunged across the table toward the steel briefcase, frantically trying to grab the offshore wire transfer receipts that proved his treason."Give me those!" Julian shrieked, his eyes bloodshot. "You can't prove anything! This is forged!"Caleb didn't even shift his stance. He brought his right hand down like a descending iron guillotine, slamming his open palm directly onto Julian’s reaching wrist.Crack!The bone in Julian’s arm splintered. Juli
Boardroom Ambush
The morning sun cut through the rain clouds over Riverdale, but inside the Sterling Cosmetics headquarters, the air was as cold as a morgue.Vivian Sterling sat at the head of the conference table, dark circles bruised beneath her eyes. She hadn't slept a minute in the hotel penthouse. Across from her, twenty board directors and family elders sat with crossed arms, whispering like vultures waiting for a carcass.Julian Sterling leaned back in his leather chair, a smug grin plastered across his face. He wore a fresh silk tie, pretending the humiliation of wiping duck soup off the hotel floor with his jacket had never happened."It's nine in the morning, Vivian," Julian announced, tapping his gold pen against the mahogany table. "The banks opened an hour ago. Hayes Logistics filed the debt consolidation claim at eight sharp. Where is the forty million dollars?"Vivian tightened her fists under the table until her knuckles went white. "Trenton Hayes manipulated the maturity date. That lo
