Marcellus nodded, his expression softening.

Marcellus Valencia was the father of three daughters. Celestine, his eldest at 26, was born to his first wife, a graceful and loving woman who passed away when Celestine was still a little girl. Her mother’s death left a deep void in both Celestine’s and Marcellus’s lives, and the grief eventually led Marcellus to remarry.

His second wife bore him twin daughters, who were now 22 years old. However, their relationship had been fraught with tension. Celestine’s stepmother had not treated her kindly as a child, leading to years of resentment and a strained dynamic within the family. The ongoing issues between Marcellus and his second wife eventually caused their marriage to falter. Though they never formally divorced, they separated.

Years ago, Marcellus’s second wife had requested that he establish a business for her and their daughters, as she wished to move away and raise the twins separately from him and Celestine. Wanting to maintain peace

    Elijah sat silently on the BMW hood for a moment, the faintest smirk pulling at the corner of his lips.He brought the phone back to his ear.“Let’s just say,” he replied casually, eyes watching Phantom’s car pull in through the gate, “I know a few people.”Then his voice dropped slightly, colder now — deliberate.“And Nathaniel… don’t forget who put you in that room.”Before Nathaniel could say more, the call ended.Phantom Reiss’s matte-black Jeep rolled smoothly into the compound, the sound of its engine low and ominous. The vehicle came to a clean halt a few feet from the BMW, dust swirling lightly around its wheels.The doors opened.Phantom stepped out first — tall, dark shades over his eyes, a visible pistol tucked firmly into the side of his pants, the grip jutting out from under his loose black shirt. Two of his men followed behind, just as armed, scanning the compound as a routine.But the moment Phantom’s eyes landed on Elijah, casually seated on the hood of the BMW…He fro

    Isla gave a slow nod. “You can,” she said simply. “Make it public if you like. Just know — now that you're with Dominion… the world will be watching.”Nathaniel smiled wide, standing to his feet. “That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for.”Meanwhile, on the highway just outside the city, the sleek black BMW hummed softly as it cut through the lanes with precision. The sun glinted off its polished body, and inside the vehicle, the atmosphere was calm.Felix was behind the wheel, wearing a casual white tee and dark jeans, his eyes focused on the road. In the front passenger seat, Elijah sat comfortably reclined, dressed too relaxed for a man of his influence — a loose black hoodie over a white shirt, grey joggers, and a pair of sleek black slides. He had one arm resting against the window, his other hand lazily tapping his knee in rhythm with the music playing softly in the background.He turned slightly toward Felix.“Are we done with the police station renovation?” Elijah asked, his

    Nathaniel’s expression changed from the smile to a slight straight face.She looked him dead in the eye.“That kind of valuation might impress VCs in a demo room. But here at Dominion, we don’t throw money at speculative projections tied to early-stage tech platforms with inconsistent testing and no proven profit flow.”She paused, letting it sink in.“You’re asking for a lion’s share of our resources without offering proportional control or guaranteed returns.”Then, her tone shifted—not closed, but challenging.“Unless you’re willing to revisit your equity offer, or provide stronger security around returns, I don’t see us moving forward.”Nathaniel swallowed hard, his palms beginning to sweat slightly as he straightened in his seat.“Ms. Delaney,” he began carefully, keeping his tone respectful but earnest, “I understand your concern. I truly do. But the 30% valuation wasn’t arbitrary. We’ve spent three years building the architecture, burning through our own capital, and securing t

    “Thank you, ma’am,” Nathaniel said as he took his seat, carefully placing the file on his lap before looking up again. “Truly, I’m honored to be here in front of the CEO of Dominion Group. I never even dreamt I’d get a chance like this.”Isla didn’t smile or show much emotion. She simply nodded slightly, her posture elegant and commanding.“I heard you have an investment proposal,” she said, her tone crisp and businesslike. “Let me see it.”“Yes, of course,” Nathaniel replied quickly, opening the file and carefully handing over the neatly organized documents.Isla took them without a word, flipping the first page and beginning to read. The room fell into a quiet tension as her eyes scanned the content—line by line, figure by figure—analyzing everything with clinical precision.Nathaniel sat still, hands folded in his lap, trying to mask the anxious flutter in his chest. This was the moment that could define the next chapter of his life.As Isla Delaney flipped through the last few pag

    For a moment, everything stood still.Richard’s tablet nearly slipped from his hand.Zane’s eyes darkened. His voice came out cold and clipped.“All eight of you… armed… and he did this to you?”No one spoke. Their silence said it all.The silence around the bruised and battered men was unbearable. Tension hung in the air like a blade ready to fall.Zane’s fists clenched slowly at his sides, his gaze burning into the man who had spoken. Then, without warning—SMACK!—Zane's palm landed hard across the man's face, sending him stumbling sideways.“Talk!” Zane barked, his voice like thunder across the compound.The man, nose bleeding anew from the force of the slap, steadied himself, trembling. “I-It was Elijah,” he stammered. “He beat us. All of us.”Zane stared at him—livid. His nostrils flared. Then he spat on the ground right in front of the man’s feet in disgust.“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!” he shouted, stepping closer. “What kind of fairy tale are you feeding me? One guy—one ma

    The moment the men charged, a switch flipped inside Elijah.The Codex moved first.Not his mind. Not his limbs. The force within him—that ancient, living essence—took over.Elijah’s eyes widened slightly as his body dodged the first swing on its own, bending backward just inches under a swinging cutlass, his foot sliding back with perfect control. His arms moved fluidly, redirecting a rod aimed at his head with a swift elbow.What the—He barely had time to think. He wasn’t fighting. The energy was fighting for him.Another man lunged from the side with a bat, but Elijah spun low and struck his knee—CRACK—the man dropped with a howl. The others came, one by one, but Elijah handled each of them individually, with a mixture of elegance and brutal precision.A tall, bald man charged with a heavy iron stick and swung hard into Elijah’s ribs—CLANG!The stick snapped in half.The attacker stumbled back, his eyes wide with terror. “What the—what are you made of?!”Elijah grinned, blood pound
