At that moment, the air around them shifted.

The second Mr. Brown gave the command, the three men stepped forward without hesitation. They were big each of them built like a wall, with thick forearms, broad shoulders, and eyes that screamed violence.

As they moved in, the sound of cracking knuckles echoed through the quiet scene. One rolled his neck side to side, loosening up his joints. Another stretched his arms, letting out a quiet grunt as his knuckles popped one after the other. They were warming up not because they needed it, but because they wanted Tyler to see, to feel, what was coming.

One of the men, the tallest and probably the loudest, stepped ahead of the other two. He pointed at Tyler with a smirk on his face, like he had already won. “It’s best you come with us quietly, man,” he said, his voice low but filled with threat. “We can make it easy for you or we’ll drag you into that van like a sack of potatoes. You don’t want that, not with that pretty face of yours.” He la

    At that moment, hearing what her son had said, Mrs. Nathaniel who hadn’t known the full details before took a deep breath, placed both hands on her waist, and nodded slowly with a mixture of hope and anxiety. Her voice was low but firm as she said,“Alright then, if this is the angle we’re going with, then you must play your part properly, Nathaniel. I mean everything. From your words, your tone, your presence let them all carry weight. You must be deliberate. Convince Princess Naomi. Bind her thoughts to yours. Make her see reason, make her doubt this entire process. Make her believe that that boy is not ready, that he mustn’t be chosen. You understand me?”She stepped closer to him, locking eyes.“Tomorrow’s selection must not hold. That’s what you’re going there to make happen, right?”Nathaniel Jr. gave a slow nod.“Yes. Exactly, Mother. That’s the goal. Delay the selection. Break the momentum. If we win time, we’ll win everything.”His tone was calm but full of pressure. The stak

    At that moment, upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. just said, Mr. Nathaniel slowly lifted his gaze and fixed it on his son. His expression didn’t change much he was still worn out, exhausted by what had just happened but there was now a faint trace of interest in his eyes. He didn’t say a word immediately. Then he tilted his head slightly and asked with a deep, heavy voice,“So… what is your plan?”Mrs. Nathaniel also turned, arms still folded tightly across her chest.“Yes, what do you have in mind?” she added.Her tone wasn’t warm. In fact, it carried more suspicion than hope, but she was desperate enough to listen.“Do you have anything anything at all that can stop this event from going on as planned?”Nathaniel Jr. took a breath and stepped forward, trying to appear more confident than he actually felt.“Yes. I do,” he said slowly.“There’s one person… Yafali.”That name immediately sparked recognition.Mr. Nathaniel furrowed his brows.“Yafali?”Mrs. Nathaniel raised a brow.“What

    Silence, it was a long, dreadful silence.Nathaniel Jr.’s eyes were wide with rage. His entire body was trembling, his lips twitching from the shock and disbelief. He suddenly took a step forward, pointing at Mr. Brand furiously.“You crazy bastard!!” he roared, his voice echoing through the room.“How dare you say such words to my family?!”He stormed closer, veins bulging in his neck.“Tell me you’re joking! Tell me this is some sort of sick joke! You think this is funny?! That you’d come here, like this, beaten, crawling, and you dare to speak his words like some message boy?!”His chest was heaving now, fists shaking.“Talk to me, damn it!” he shouted, towering over Mr. Brown.“Talk to me!! Say something! Tell me it’s not real! Say it!!”But Brown didn't respond, his bloodshot eyes fluttered.Then suddenly his body went limp.His head dropped to the side. His breathing stopped. He fainted right there on their floor, bruised, broken, silent.“Brown?!” Nathaniel Jr. snapped. “Hey!”

    The rage in his chest was starting to spread, boiling his thoughts. He began pacing restlessly, running a hand through his hair, muttering to himself, then turning back and shouting again.“You don’t know what I’ve been through because of that bastard!” he barked, pointing his finger toward the air as if Stella’s ghost was floating in the room. “You don’t know how many poor, smelly areas I entered just to find him! You don’t know how many eyes saw me begging on the street for his location like some lowlife! I ME! Nathaniel Jr. stooped that low! And now you’re telling me you came back like this? Looking like a failed dog that lost the fight?”He took a long, shaky breath. Then, his voice dropped lower… colder.“If you open your mouth now and tell me that you failed…” he muttered, his voice trembling, eyes twitching, “I swear to everything you believe in, I will kill you myself. You’ll beg for those bruises again. I’ll make you feel pain you didn’t even know existed.”He stepped even cl

    At that moment, Mr. Brown didn’t say a word. His lips were trembling, and each step he took was slower than the last his legs shaky, his breathing shallow. He was limping toward the center of the living room, where the entire Nathaniel family stood frozen, watching in a confused, almost fearful silence.Every step he took echoed like a drumbeat in their ears.He looked like a shadow of the powerful man they once called their most trusted fixer. No trace of the usual pride or arrogance. No swagger. No soldiers behind him. That alone was alarming. Whenever Brown went on a mission even the simplest ones he never came back alone. His men were always with him, loyal and fierce, following like hounds behind a predator. But today… he was all alone. Broken. Battered. Barely breathing.Then just as he reached the middle of the room, directly in front of them his knees buckled.He collapsed with a loud thud, hitting the marble floor with a groan that was almost too painful to hear. His face hit
