2026-10-25 18:05:46The following day, Elias Vance stood in the living room of the villa that had once housed the entire Vance family. He had purchased this property before ever setting foot in Cresthaven, a home meant to anchor the people he cared about most. After Vivian Sterling seized control of the family's assets, she had listed this villa on the market without a second thought and sold it off like just another line item on a balance sheet. Elias later bought it back from the second owner at a premium, rec

Wesley Cole asked Warren Montgomery why he was so terrified of that young man. Warren immediately remembered the strict ban imposed by Ignatius Montgomery, which forbade anyone in the family from revealing the man's true identity to outsiders. Bound by this absolute order, Warren shook his head, explaining he could only say the man was someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke under any circumstances.Wesley was highly skeptical, asking if even the immensely powerful Montgomery family was afraid of a single person.Warren honestly replied that he did not know the full extent of the situation, but he strongly advised Wesley not to be overly greedy, as the city of Cresthaven had plenty of lucrative business to go around.Wesley suppressed his immediate anger due to Warren's sincere tone, but he grumbled that letting Lysander Lawson steal his business would make him look incredibly weak. He declared that since Warren had personally intervened today, he would let

Upon hearing the harsh voice, Lysander Lawson's expression changed drastically. "This is bad. They must have tracked me down here," he whispered urgently. "Whatever happens next, please do not get involved. I will handle this burden myself."Elias Vance took a slow sip of his premium liquor, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he said nothing. Albert Monroe glanced at the young man, and seeing Elias remain completely unfazed, the elder merely nodded in agreement.The door was suddenly kicked open, revealing a group of vicious thugs blocking the exit. The leader was a heavily built man with aggressive, scarred flesh and a thick neck covered in tattoos."Well, if it is not Lysander. You slipped away this afternoon, but you cannot run this time," Owen Rowe sneered. He pulled out a chair, slammed himself down, and crossed his arms with a malicious grin.Lysander's expression turned incredibly solemn. "Owen, this personal grudge is between you and me. Let us take this ou

Seeing the explosive device extracted from his own hospital elevator drained all the color from Mayhew's face. If Elias had actually suffered a fatal incident on his premises, his own fate would have been unimaginably grim. A lingering wave of profound dread washed over the hospital director as he stared at the lethal trap, silently thanking whatever higher power allowed the young man to detect and defuse it in time.Marcus approached with the dismantled device resting heavily in his palms. He reported that it was a remote-controlled explosive, though the detonator had already been safely neutralized by his engineers.Elias reached out, taking the device from Marcus. He examined it with a completely expressionless face, his cold eyes scanning the intricate wiring. "The exterior craftsmanship is rough, but the internal mechanics are highly precise. This was undoubtedly designed by a professional." He could easily deduce the bomb maker's background from the structural style,

Skyler Stanton and Alistair Prescott were on the verge of vomiting blood as they forced the printed manuscripts down their throats. They gagged and choked, looking as though they might suffocate on the dry paper at any given moment. Elias Vance sat completely emotionless, his cold eyes watching the grotesque scene unfold. He intended to sit in that chair until they consumed every last page. Whatever word count they had ordered their staff to blindly produce was exactly what they were going to eat.Taylor Sullivan stepped forward and politely asked for a private word. Elias offered a faint nod of agreement and walked to a quiet corner with the older man."Marshal Vance, my primary reason for coming to Cresthaven was specifically to find you," Taylor explained in a hushed tone."Oh?" Elias glanced at him with mild curiosity, wondering what could prompt a personal visit from the capital."Recently, the Crimson Cartel has been making restless moves," Taylor elaborate

Skyler Stanton marched into the room with an aggressive and overbearing aura. As the director of the Southvale State Propaganda and Oversight Department, he was nearly the highest-ranking official in the state. He could not believe someone dared to show him such a blatant lack of respect. A man in his fifties with a protruding belly, Skyler had a face full of aggressive flesh that made him look like someone who should not be provoked."Are you the kid causing trouble here?" Skyler demanded the moment he spotted Elias Vance sitting calmly in the center of the room, marching straight over and pointing a thick finger right at his nose."Director Stanton!" Alistair Prescott called out, letting out a massive sigh of relief upon seeing the official arrive. With a powerful state leader backing him, this messy situation would be much easier to resolve. Furthermore, Skyler maintained excellent relationships with several influential politicians, giving him immense power and energy t

Harper Sullivan held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the military. Combined with her striking youth, the official credential left the heavily armed police officers completely breathless. Anyone a lieutenant colonel respectfully called a commander had to be a general, a terrifying military figure no local police force dared provoke."Since a military commander is handling official business here, we will certainly not intrude," the lead inspector declared promptly. He turned on his heel without a second of hesitation and marched away.As they retreated toward their cruisers, a junior detective whispered nervously, asking why they were abandoning their direct orders from above."You know absolutely nothing," the inspector hissed, his expression dark and severe. "I have inside channels, and I am only sharing this with you because we are brothers who have bled together. Keep it strictly confidential. A supreme military VIP has arrived in Cresthaven, and some blind fools
