Elijah’s voice cut through the tense air like a blade.“Bring them out.”At his order, Phantom’s men moved without hesitation. The car doors swung open, and Daniel, still battered and swollen from the earlier beating, was yanked out first. His legs barely supported him as they dragged him forward. Behind him, his three friends were pulled from the other vehicle, each limping, faces bloodied and clothes torn.Lawrence’s eyes widened in horror.“Daniel!” he shouted, rushing forward. He grabbed his son by the shoulders, pulling him close as if his presence alone could shield him from whatever was about to happen.Lawrence’s voice trembled with a mix of fear and outrage.“What did you do to my son?” he demanded, glaring at Elijah.Elijah didn’t flinch. Instead, he grabbed Daniel by the collar and yanked him forward.“Tell your dad what you did,” Elijah ordered coldly.Daniel kept his head down, his lips pressed tight. His silence only made Elijah’s jaw tighten. With a sharp movement, Elij

Outside, the night air was heavy, carrying the faint scent of exhaust and damp asphalt. Phantom’s men moved with silent efficiency, splitting up the captives without needing orders twice.Daniel, his face swollen and bloodied, was shoved into the back seat of one car, two men flanking him. His three friends, barely able to stand from their beating, were dragged to another vehicle and dumped inside like sacks of grain.Sierra, still asleep and breathing softly, was placed gently into Elijah’s Prado. Elijah took the driver’s seat, his jaw tight as his hand lingered on the steering wheel for a moment.Phantom leaned in from the passenger side, his voice low but eager.“Master… where we heading to?”Elijah’s eyes narrowed, the streetlights catching the cold steel in his gaze.“The Everhart house,” he said flatlyPhantom gave a sharp nod, then signaled to his men. Engines roared to life, the convoy pulling out of The Grand Monarch’s gates into the quiet streetsAbout an hour later, the con

Elijah’s eyes stayed on Sierra for a long moment before he finally looked toward the doorway where Phantom stood, his men still gripping a battered Daniel.“Phantom,” Elijah said, his voice low but cutting through the tension like a blade, “give him his clothes.”Phantom blinked, slightly surprised. “Master?”“I was going to have him thrown out naked,” Elijah continued coldly, “but I’m not giving anyone the chance to film him like that and have it spread. I don’t want Sierra seeing anything that’ll make her realize what happened tonight.”Phantom understood immediately. With a curt nod, he motioned to one of his men, who reluctantly walked back into the room, snatched Daniel’s crumpled clothes from the floor, and shoved them into his hands.Daniel, still trembling and bloody, quickly scrambled to pull them on, flinching with every movement. He didn’t dare meet Elijah’s eyes.Once dressed, Phantom’s men resumed dragging him out. Elijah watched only long enough to make sure Daniel was c

Behind Elijah, Phantom stood at the door with his arms folded, watching coldly. His men stood like shadows, unmoved. One of them muttered, “Should we step in, boss?”Phantom didn’t answer — his silence was approval.Elijah shoved Daniel back to the floor like trash.Sierra, still curled up on the bed under the duvet, stirred faintly but remained asleep.Elijah’s breathing was heavy, rage still boiling in his chest as his gaze shifted from Daniel—blood at the corner of his mouth—to the three friends Phantom’s men had dragged inside.Without a word, Elijah stormed over, grabbed the first one by the collar, and slammed him down to the carpet so hard the man gasped for air.The other two tried to step back, but Phantom’s men shoved them forward.Elijah’s fist connected with the second man’s jaw — a sharp crack — sending him sprawling.“YOU HELPED HIM DRUG HER!” Elijah’s voice tore through the room. “You laughed while she was being taken away!”He swung his leg and kicked the third one in

Behind the desk was a young woman — the same receptionist who had once dismissed him months ago when he looked simple and poor. Now, her breath hitched. Elijah Westbrook…? He looked so polished… so powerful.“Hello sir—welcome—” she started, forcing a smile.But Elijah didn’t smile back.“Someone logged in here with a lady. She might’ve been unconscious or dizzy. Her dress was silver and royal blue. Tell me which room.”His voice was deep, cold, and quick.The receptionist’s words caught in her throat. The few hotel staff nearby turned, watching in growing confusion.“What happened, sir?” she asked hesitantly.Elijah slammed his palm on the counter so hard the pen holders rattled and a clipboard fell.“Answer me!” he growled. “How dare your hotel let someone bring my unconscious woman in here? Are you all mad?”Gasps erupted around the lobby. The receptionist staggered back a little.“If anything has happened to her,” Elijah said, his voice low but dangerous, “I’ll shut down this enti
Chapter 385
Elijah’s eyes darkened with rage as he stared at the three trembling boys.“If you don’t call him right now and get his location,” he said coldly, “I’ll cut an ear off each of you.”They froze in terror.“What?! No please—”“Call. Now.”They panicked. One of them fumbled for his phone with trembling fingers, whispering to the others, “We have to call him, just do it before he actually cuts us.”The call rang once… twice…Then Daniel’s voice came on, annoyed.“What’s wrong with you again?”The boy quickly said, “What’s your location? Are you playing Smart on us or what? We all did something and now you’re hiding to enjoy alone?”Daniel sighed, “Fine, fine. I’m at a hotel named The Grand Monarch.”“Where’s that?” the boy asked, trying to keep him talking, but Elijah had already heard what he needed. He stepped forward and snatched the phone from the guy’s hand, then ended the call without a word.He turned sharply to Phantom.“Quick. Pack them into the car. We’re heading there now.”Pha
