The room erupted into a mix of applause and astonishment, with several workers looking at each other in surprise. Sophia, standing among them, froze for a moment, her heart racing although she was aware she was the one to be promoted. She felt dozens of eyes turning to her.

Damian extended his hand toward her and said warmly, "Miss Bennett, please step on stage.”

Sophia inhaled deeply, smoothing her already pristine office wear as she walked forward. Her heels clicked against the polished floor, and the applause grew louder. As she reached the stage, she turned to face the crowd.

Damian gestured for her to stand beside him. "Ladies and gentlemen, this promotion is not just a reward but a reflection of consistent effort and excellence. Congratulations, Miss Bennett."

Sophia nodded politely, her lips curving into a gracious smile as she acknowledged the crowd. "Thank you," she said, her voice clear and steady

As Sophia stood on stage, basking in the applause, the murmurs among the worke

    Phantom froze.His heart pounded. He knew this man from the Vorn Dogs wasn’t like the rest — he was brutal, trained, and surrounded by whispers of black sorcery. Even Phantom would hesitate before engaging him alone.The Vorn Dog boss began to walk slowly toward Elijah, each step heavy, deliberate. His dagger glinted in his grip, but it was his eyes—cold, locked onto Elijah’s—that spoke louder than any weapon.As he drew closer, he suddenly stopped.Then… he let out a cold, haunting laugh.Low at first… then rising like a snarl.“You’re brave,” he said, tilting his head,“But bravery is what kills men like you.”Then he did something strange.His muscles tensed sharply… and his body began to twitch, violently.Spasms ran through his limbs, his shoulders snapping back unnaturally, his fingers contorting, veins bulging across his neck and arms like thick ropes.A faint, eerie cracking could be heard from his bones shifting under his skin.“W-what’s happening to him…?” Felix gasped, stum

    Elijah stood tall, eyes still locked on the stunned faces of the Vorn Dogs. The air around him pulsed with silent power — thick, almost electric.Suddenly—“OPEN FIRE!”The boss screamed, his voice laced with panic and fury.Three more Vorn Dogs raised their rifles without hesitation.RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!Bullets flew, tearing through the air with deadly speed.But before they could reach him—Elijah moved.Like lightning, he lunged toward the body of the last man he had killed, still crumpled near the bus. With one smooth motion, Elijah lifted the corpse by the collar and arm, spinning it into place just as the bullets arrived.THWUMP–THWUMP–THWUMP!The lifeless body jerked violently in his grip as rounds tore through it, spraying blood and cloth — but not one bullet touched Elijah.Felix gasped, hands over his mouth in horror and awe.Phantom’s jaw clenched. Even he had never seen such raw, ruthless efficiency.Elijah didn’t flinch. He didn’t blink. He stood calmly behind the ruined bod

    Silence gripped the compound.One of the Vorn Dogs, stunned and shaking, rushed to the body, dropping beside his fallen comrade.He checked his pulse. Nothing. Slapped his cheek. Nothing.He turned back, eyes wide, trembling.“H-he’s…” he stuttered, voice cracking.“He’s dead!”Gasps echoed. Even Phantom’s men recoiled in disbelief.The Vorn Dogs — known for brutality, for domination — had just witnessed one of their own obliterated in a single blow.And standing calmly in front of them all…Was Elijah.Unshaken.Unbothered.The Vorn Dogs’ boss took a stunned step forward, his eyes locked on the lifeless body slumped beside the dented mini-bus.“What…?” he breathed, as if the word barely made it past his throat.“He’s dead?”His voice cracked with disbelief.The other Vorn Dogs stood frozen, unsure whether to react with rage or terror. The sight of one of their own — a ruthless killer — now lying in a pool of his own blood was unthinkable.Even Phantom Reiss, hardened and feared acros

    The words were venom, quiet but laced with arrogance — the kind of tone reserved for people already marked for death.Behind him, the Vorn Dogs watched closely, muscles tensing, fingers twitching on weapons.Phantom’s heart jumped. Felix swallowed hard, instinctively shifting behind Elijah.But Elijah?He didn’t flinch.Didn’t blink.He took a step forward — closing the distance further. His eyes now fixed directly on the man, calm… yet crackling beneath with something unseen. Something vast.Then, Elijah answered — his voice even calmer than before.“I’m the man who decides whether or not you leave here standing.”A breathless silence swept the compound.Even the wind seemed to freeze.The pale man’s smirk faded…Just a little.Phantom, sensing the temperature of the standoff rising far too quickly, took a step forward and placed a cautious hand out toward Elijah’s arm.“Master… please,” he said, voice low and urgent.“Let me handle this. I’ll talk to them. We don’t need this to turn

    “Phantom Reiss…” he said slowly, letting the name linger like a sour taste.“New Ember City’s underworld boss…?”He let out a short laugh — sharp and mocking.“You don’t exactly look the part.”Behind him, the eight Vorn men burst into quiet, mirthless laughter.Controlled. Measured.Like they’d all rehearsed it before.Phantom’s jaw tightened. His fists clenched by his side, but he didn’t move forward. His men stood at the ready behind him, but even they were visibly shaken.Phantom spoke, voice tense.“Sorry, but… what exactly do you people want?”“You just crashed into my compound and shattered my damn gate — and now you're standing here grinning like it’s a carnival. What’s your purpose?”The pale man tilted his head slightly, the faint smile never leaving his lips.His fingers tapped against his thigh in rhythm, almost like counting down to something.“Take over?” Phantom repeated, his brows furrowed, voice thick with disbelief.The pale man didn’t blink.“Yes,” he said flatly. “

    His men raised their weapons instantly, yelling and scrambling toward cover, eyes locked on the now-sparking wreck at the gate.Felix, heart pounding, took a few steps back in shock.Elijah remained seated. Unmoving. Eyes narrowed, locked on the scene—cold, calculating.The front of the crashed car hissed with smoke, the hood folded and glass shattered.As the dust began to settle, the full shape of the vehicle came into view.It wasn’t just any car — it was a mini bus, its front hood crushed from the impact, smoke curling from the engine. The body was dark grey, armored around the edges, and painted roughly along the side was a strange symbol — a red fang with a black eye carved into the center, surrounded by crude slashes as if clawed in with blades.Elijah’s eyes fixed on it.Phantom’s expression changed instantly.His face tensed.His eyes widened.“No...” he muttered.He took a step forward, raising his pistol instinctively.“Everyone alert!” he shouted to his men, his voice cutt
