2026-01-30 16:08:53Thom looked at Benny with an expression that was hard to read. His face was calm—too calm for someone who had just been riddled with bullets. His lips moved slowly, his voice low yet firm, as though every word had been chosen with care.
“If you are trying to kill me, it will never succeed,” Thom said. “Because I have long been acquainted with death. I can even restrain it myself, holding it back from ending my life.” The words made Benny’s breath hitch. His body trembled beyond his control, cold sweat trickling down his temples. “Y-you’re going to kill me…?” Benny asked in a shaking voice, almost a whisper. His feet retreated step by step until his back struck the iron table behind him. He was certain this was the moment Thom would repay everything—the betrayal, the bullets, the hatred aimed at him. But instead, Thom stepped closer, slowly, without haste. Each step made Benny’s heart pound harder, as if it were about to leap out of his chest. The distance between them closed. “I will not kill you,” Thom said. “I only kill those who interfere with my life. I only kill those who try to hurt the people I love. I am not a mindless executioner—I am merely the one who delivers them to hell.” Benny swallowed hard. His knees felt weak, barely able to support his own weight. He wanted to speak, to beg, but his throat felt locked. Thom stared straight at him, his gaze cold yet unwavering. “Do not interfere in my revenge,” Thom continued. “If you do not wish to be delivered to the same hell, then stay away.” He raised his hand and lightly tapped Benny’s chest—a touch that should have been simple, yet felt like a heavy and absolute warning. Benny froze, not daring to move, not daring to meet his gaze any longer. “Just enjoy your life,” Thom said shortly. After that, Thom straightened his suit and adjusted the collar of his shirt, as if he had just finished an ordinary business matter. Without looking back, he walked out of the headquarters room, leaving behind the lingering stench of gunpowder, blood, and fear hanging thick in the air. Outside the building, ten men dressed in black long-sleeved sweaters and jeans were already waiting in neat formation. Two black cars were parked side by side, their engines humming softly. The moment Thom appeared, they all lowered their heads. At the front stood Red Dragon, a tall figure with sharp eyes filled with respect. “The mission is complete,” Thom said as he walked toward the black Bentley parked at the very front. “We’re going home.” Without hesitation, Red Dragon followed behind him. The other men moved at once—some opening car doors, others taking their positions. There were no questions, no further orders—only absolute obedience. The first act of revenge had been paid in full… even though Thom knew this was only the beginning of unveiling the true masterminds behind it all. *** Note for READERS: The next update will be released on February 1, 2026.

Chapter 328
Night fell over Valemoor like a black shroud draped across the village’s wounds. There were no stars. No moon. Only smoke still rising from the ruins of burned houses and the scent of blood lingering in every corner of the land. The invading force now controlled the entire village. They patrolled streets that had once echoed with the laughter of children. They sat on the porches of homes whose owners now lay in mass graves. They laughed, drank, and divided the spoils of their plunder as though they were victors entitled to everything. Their automatic rifles rested against walls because they felt secure. There was no threat. No resistance. Valemoor had fallen. They were too confident. And that would become their greatest mistake. Hidden behind the bushes at the edge of the forest, Divo watched with narrowed eyes. He was one of the few surviving Nameless Army soldiers and had been assigned by Thom to act as a scout. Divo was small, agile, and capable of moving as silently as

Bullets whistled overhead like mad bees that had lost their hive. The smell of gunpowder began to fill the once-fresh morning air, turning the Valemoor Valley into a miniature hell that echoed with screams and the roar of gunfire. Thom rolled behind the stone wall of the gate, pulling Pear and Elias with him. His breathing remained steady, but his eyes moved rapidly, assessing the situation. The two Nameless Army soldiers who had been dragging the three hostages were dead. Vigo, Rhen, and Kael—all three lay on the ground with holes in their heads, blood spreading across the soil that had only yesterday been drenched in happiness. Behind him, the gunfire grew heavier. And even more horrifying—the screams of the villagers. Thom turned toward the village. His eyes widened. The attacking force was not only surrounding the gate. They had entered from three sides, shooting at anyone who moved. Women ran while carrying their children. An elderly man collapsed in the middle of the r

The atmosphere in Valemoor Village that morning was truly different.The sun rose with golden hues sweeping across the entire valley, as if nature itself were celebrating a special day. The fresh mountain air felt lighter, warmer.In the village square, hundreds of residents had gathered. Children ran between the legs of adults. Mothers carried baskets filled with harvested crops. Elderly farmers sat on wooden chairs, chewing tobacco, their eyes sparkling with hope.Eclad stood on a makeshift stage built from wooden planks. Beside him, Jasmine held a large sheet of paper that had just been posted on the announcement board. Their faces were radiant, unable to hide their excitement."People of Valemoor!" Eclad shouted in a loud voice. "Today is a historic day for all of us!"Small cheers began to erupt from the crowd.Jasmine stepped forward, her voice clear and full of enthusiasm. "By Thom's order, Eclad and I have been entrusted with delivering good news. An official letter from the G
Chapter 325
The atmosphere inside Amay Lug's private chamber after returning from Valemoor felt unbearably tense, even though the air conditioning was running at full capacity. The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast a cold light across the room, illuminating every corner of the secret chamber on the top floor of the Golden Circle headquarters. Standing before her was an elderly man leaning on a golden cane. His body was no longer as strong as it had once been, but his eyes—his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle hunting its prey. The man was Baba Lug, Amay's husband. The founder of the Golden Circle. A powerful businessman and billionaire whose ambition was to move the world and ultimately rule it. To him, power belonged exclusively to the global elite. Anyone who stood in the way—or even had the potential to stand in the way—was nothing more than trash that needed to be eliminated. "You simply let him go?" Baba Lug's voice was heavy, echoing through the room despite not being l
Chapter 324
Amay Lug furrowed her brows. Her eyes narrowed, trying to read Thom’s cold and unreadable face."So..." Amay Lug began, her voice slightly hesitant, "you know Lena very well? Close?""Yes," Thom answered shortly. There was no further explanation.Amay Lug fell silent for a moment. She tried to piece together the logic: if Thom knew Lena, then this man might know more about her past life than any stranger should."So..." Amay Lug’s voice trembled slightly, even though she tried to hold it back, "you know about my previous life?"That question was completely unexpected for Thom.He didn’t think Amay Lug would ask back. He didn’t think this woman—his mother—would show her vulnerability in the middle of this formal negotiation. Thom paused for a moment, feeling something warm and painful at the same time in his chest.Then he nodded slowly."Yes."That one word made Amay Lug look uncomfortable. Her previously confident face changed. She looked down for a moment, biting her lower lip, then
Chapter 323
For the moment, Thom felt frozen.His entire body was rigid. His face was blank, devoid of expression, like a mask that could no longer display any emotion. His eyes stared straight at Amay Lug, but his gaze was empty.Red Dragon, standing right beside him, began to grow uneasy. He had never seen Thom like this before. Their leader, who was usually calm and calculating, had fallen silent for far too long. The air around them felt heavy."King..." Red Dragon whispered softly, barely audible. "Are you alright?"There was no answer.Red Dragon glanced toward Eclad, who was standing some distance away. Eclad merely shrugged, equally confused."King?" Red Dragon repeated, a little louder.Thom blinked.Like someone waking from a long sleep, Thom let out a slow breath. His body, which had been stiff moments ago, began to move—slightly shaking his head, slightly relaxing his tense shoulders."Yes," Thom finally answered, his voice hoarse but still flat. "I'm fine."Red Dragon did not fully b
