Bad luck
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely depressing. “Stephanie, the moment you divorce that trash and marry me I'll immediately invest $10 million to get your company back on its feet after that I'll be responsible for all of Uncle's expenses in the hospital i'll get the best doctors to treat him” a handsome young man in a dark suit and leather shoes sat on the sofa in the living room, his face was filled with an unconcealable arrogance and he was emitting an arrogant aura he had a cold and arrogant smile on his face as he looked at the beautiful woman standing above him looking at him it seemed like he was determined to get her. “What about it Stephanie, think about it”. the man said. Stephanie Rodriguez looked calm on the surface but inside her heart it was raging like a storm. the Rodriguez Group was in a crisis the capital chain had been cut off and was on the verge of bankruptcy as the CEO of the group she was like a helpless lamb that had been forced into a desperate situation what made people more worried was that once the company went bankrupt the high expenses of her father's hospital care that were currently being paid for by the group would be cut off and the family itself would struggle to make ends meet it seemed that only Christopher Mallory the eldest son of the Mallory Group who was the head of LA real estate corporation and he could help solve the problem just one word from Christopher Mallory, all the Rodriguez's problems would be solved but to expect her to divorce her husband and then throw herself into Christopher's arms how was this possible? Stephanie looked at Christopher who was sitting on the sofa with his head held high and then looked at Raymond slumped in the corner of the living room. that was her husband, a trashy ugly monster of a man. “ Oh my Stephanie, why are you still hesitating? hurry up and agree to Christopher's proposal just one word from Christopher and all these problems will be solved”. Stephanie's mother Rebecca walked in front of her daughter and grabbed her arm, she said anxiously. “Stephanie, Christopher has always been truthful with you if it weren't for that piece of trash Raymond you and Christopher would have been a couple Christopher's willing to overlook the past and reconcile with you so why are you still hesitating as for Raymond he's been dragging you down for five years you should have kicked him to the curb a long time ago” Rebecca said she looked angrily at Raymond who is now standing beside her if looks could kill, Raymond would have been dead 1000 times over by now. her daughter was far too soft hearted how could she let the piece of trash drag her down for so long. The words of her mother were like needles stabbing into Stephanie's heart. She looked up at her useless husband and saw Raymond was also looking at her when their eyes met. Raymond's eyes were filled with pleading. “wife don't don't leave me” Raymond was like a lamb that was about to be thrown to the wolves; he was weak, helpless and completely waxed the demeanor that a man should have. Whack!!! Rebecca slapped Raymond Square on his left cheek Rebecca angrily pointed at Raymond and scolded. “You are trash, our family has kept you and got nothing for 5 years. If you're a man, leave my daughter, don't drag our family down anymore, get lost”. Raymond's face was burning with pain, his face was covered with black spots they covered almost half of it plus his body was thin and weak his face was pale making him look like a weakened ugly ostrich. At this moment after being slapped by Rebecca there was a red palm print on his face that was covered by the black spots. he looked even uglier Christopher stood up from the sofa his eyes were filled with impatience “Stephanie are you still pitying this trash don't you have the strength to divorce him? you're too kind, he's just a maggot in a waster are you going to waste your life on a person like that? what are you waiting for Stephanie to just divorce this piece of trash”. Christopher had been using the tone of a negoRebeccator before but now his tone was filled with threats and orders. “Stephanie don't”. Raymond covered his face with his hands and tears actually flowed out of his eyes. The only thing he could do now was beg. “You ain’t even a man with tears coming out of your eyes this is disgusting why don't you go and die” Rebecca scolded him fiercely and raised her hand to hit Raymond Stephanie was forced into a corner she cried out in despair. “mom that's enough”. Rebecca looked at her daughter before lowering her hand “Stephanie, your father is still lying in the hospital, if our family goes bankrupt he can only wait for death. Can it be that this piece of trash has poisoned you so much you don't even care about your father's life anymore?” Raymond stood there with a knife in his heart, each word out of his mother-in-law's mouth twisted the blade a little deeper; he clenched his fist tightly, hating himself for being so useless. five years ago he was also a member of a rich and powerful family at that time the Hernandez family was very famous throughout philadelphia and was ranked first among the three most influenRebeccal families of philadelphia but all of a sudden the family business went bankrupt and his father committed suicide all the members of the Hernandez family disappeared and even his mother's whereabouts who were unknown.Latest Chapter
CHAPTER 50
SUBJECT ZEROThe ruined hallway fell into complete silence after the Directorate operative spoke.You were never supposed to survive infancy.For a brief moment, even the chaos throughout the mansion seemed distant again. The crackling sparks from broken electrical wires, the drifting smoke, the distant screams downstairs, all of it faded behind the sudden pounding inside Raymond’s chest.Subject Zero.The words echoed repeatedly through his mind.Interesting.Very interesting.Fragments of memories began flashing violently behind his eyes again.Cold laboratory walls.Machines.Bright surgical lights.Pain.Then screaming.Not his.Other children.Raymond’s golden eyes flickered sharply as his breathing slowed unnaturally.Morgan noticed immediately.“Raymond,” she said carefully, “listen to me.”But Raymond’s gaze remained locked onto the Directorate operative.“What did you mean by that?”The operative slowly stepped forward through the destroyed corridor, completely unafraid despi
CHAPTER 49
THE AWAKENINGThe explosion tore through the second floor like a violent storm.Walls shattered.Glass exploded outward across the mansion grounds.The shockwave blasted through the corridor with terrifying force, throwing guards, agents, and debris in every direction while the entire estate trembled violently beneath the impact.For several secondsNobody could see anything.Dust and smoke swallowed the hallway completely.Screams echoed from below while alarms sparked and died throughout the building.Then silence slowly began creeping back in.Heavy.Uneasy.Unnatural.One of the surviving federal agents coughed painfully while trying to lift himself from the broken floor.“Did… did they get him?”Morgan shoved broken debris aside immediately, her face tense as she stared toward the center of the destroyed corridor.The suppressor blast should have destroyed Raymond’s nervous system instantly.At minimumIt should have incapacitated him.But deep down, something told her the situat
CHAPTER 48
THE ARRIVALThe entire mansion trembled again as the deep mechanical sound echoed upward from the lower floors. Without electricity, the estate had fallen into near-total darkness except for faint moonlight filtering through broken windows and the occasional red emergency backup light flickering weakly through the corridors.But despite the darknessEveryone in the hallway felt it.A presence.Heavy.Oppressive.Different from the Black Serpent operatives.Different from Kael.Even Lucien’s calm expression had changed slightly after hearing that sound.Interesting.Very interesting.Raymond noticed it immediately.Fear.Not obvious.Not dramatic.But present.And if someone like Lucien could feel fear…Then whatever had arrived below was far more dangerous than anything tonight had shown so far.Morgan stepped forward immediately.“What did you do?” she demanded coldly.Lucien slowly shook his head.“This wasn’t us.”Kael’s silver eyes narrowed sharply as he glanced toward the stairwe
CHAPTER 47
THE CREATIONThe ruined corridor fell into complete silence after Lucien spoke those words.The people who created you.For a brief moment, even the chaos throughout the mansion seemed distant. The flashing emergency lights painted dark red shadows across the shattered walls while smoke drifted slowly through the hallway, but Raymond barely noticed any of it anymore.His golden eyes remained fixed on Lucien.Cold.Sharp.Dangerous.“What did you just say?” Raymond asked quietly.Lucien’s faint smile remained unchanged.Interesting.Very interesting.Unlike the confusion or fear most people showed after learning pieces of the truth tonight, Raymond’s reaction was different. Beneath the calmness in his voice, Lucien could already feel the shift happening inside him.The awakening was progressing faster than expected.Kael noticed it too.The silver-eyed man slowly stepped back, no longer attacking immediately. Instead, he observed Raymond carefully, almost like a hunter studying somethi
CHAPTER 46
THE MAN IN THE DARKDarkness swallowed the corridor completely after the lights exploded. The only illumination left came from the distant emergency lights flickering red through parts of the mansion, casting distorted shadows across the shattered hallway walls. Gunfire continued erupting from different directions while guards and agents shouted over one another in confusion.But amid all the chaosRaymond focused on only one thing.The presence was moving toward him through the darkness.Fast.Cold.Dangerous.His sharpened senses immediately locked onto it.Unlike the masked attackers from earlier, this person moved with terrifying control. Every step was precise, almost silent despite the destruction surrounding them.Interesting.Very interesting.Raymond’s pupils glowed faintly gold again as the strange energy within his body surged harder than before. The pressure inside his veins intensified rapidly, spreading through his muscles and senses until even the chaotic battlefield ar
CHAPTER 45
THE BREACHThe moment the screams echoed through the mansion corridors, the atmosphere inside the room instantly turned deadly. The faint calm that had existed moments earlier disappeared completely as gunshots erupted downstairs one after another.Bang! Bang! Bang!Shouts from guards mixed with the sound of breaking glass and running footsteps, creating chaos throughout the estate once again. Smoke from the earlier explosion outside had already begun drifting into parts of the mansion, making the situation feel even more suffocating.Agent Morgan reacted immediately.“Stay inside this room,” she ordered Isabella sharply while reaching beneath her coat and drawing a compact black handgun.Several federal agents outside the hallway instantly moved into defensive positions.But Raymond had already started walking toward the door.Morgan’s expression changed.“Where are you going?”Raymond’s gaze remained calm.“To meet them.”Morgan immediately grabbed his arm.“Don’t be reckless.
