2026-08-10 00:05:22"What do you mean by that?" Martha asked after hearing Calvin say he'd be in even more danger.
Calvin studied Martha’s expression for a moment before deciding to spin a small story based on facts.
"I told you I was going to get involved in business, didn't I? That's going to be my second profession alongside being a combat elementalist.
I did get involved in business while I was in Slatfield. In fact, I currently own a jewellery company. I haven't gotten a factory o

Chapter 129- Midnight Inspection
Several hours later, Calvin dressed himself in a suit and put on a mask to cover his face.He then snuck past the coast guard around the harbour using the Darkness Elemental King’s Authority of Obscuration to conceal his presence, before boarding a speedboat and heading towards the archipelago under the cover of night.After reaching the island, Calvin docked the speedboat and pulled it onto land, hiding it under some fallen trees with large leaves before he headed towards the cargo ship.The vessel was a large Panamax-class container ship measuring over 20 metres in length, with its enormous hull rising above the dark waters surrounding the island it was docked at.Calvin leapt up the side of the vessel and quickly made his way toward the area where he sensed the greatest concentration of elemental presences.◇ ◇ ◇Within the ship’s bridge, several armed men and women were lounging around. Some were watching movies on tablets, others were playing games, and several were drinking and
Chapter 128- The Powder Keg
Two days after the video of Harry being beaten and dragged away had exploded across the internet, Cole was sitting at his office desk, dealing with the loads of paperwork and problems that didn’t care if his son was missing or not, when his personal phone suddenly received a message from a number that hadn't been active for several days.Harry’s Number.The moment Cole saw it, his expression contorted as he understood what this sudden activity meant.Before he could even pick up the phone, one of his subordinates barged into his office.“Sir! The Young master’s phone is active! We just detected internet activity from it!”“I know,” Cole replied coldly. “Now get out.”The subordinate froze at Cole’s cold tone, their expression going pale, before they quickly bowed and rushed out the door.Cole then picked up the phone and opened the message sent, his brows furrowed deeply as he read the contents.[Your son is alive, but he messed with the wrong people. If you want him back, you'll have
Chapter 127- A Liability You Can't Cut
While Cole was in Aegall, seething with rage, Calvin was in Chord, waiting for the perfect moment to overwhelm Cole with the next and most important move in his plan.This was the part of Calvin's plan where Cole’s son, Harry, finally became useful.Harry was the bait Calvin needed to draw Cole out of Aegall and force him to personally venture into the trap that Calvin was spending millions to prepare for him.Over the past few weeks, Calvin and Crow had been purchasing fire and lightning elemental stones from across the world, quietly stockpiling them in preparation for D-Day.On the morning of August 25th, another wave of news concerning the Osborn family began spreading across the internet, but this time, the story was completely different from the reports of bribery, corruption, financial crimes, and murder conspiracy that had dominated public attention throughout the past few weeks.Instead, the new story concerned an incident that had s
Chapter 126- Cut the Loose Ends
The main residence of the Osborn Family was naturally located within Aegall, within an enormous estate that occupied a vast section of land away from the busiest parts of the capital.It was surrounded by towering walls and elaborate security structures, with several layers of magical defences protecting the property from anyone attempting to enter without permission.Beyond the gates stretched carefully maintained gardens, long paved roads, ornamental fountains, private training grounds, guest buildings, and several other structures that demonstrated the immense wealth and influence of the Osborn family.At the centre of the estate stood the main residence, a gigantic mansion built from expensive materials and designed more like a private palace than an ordinary family home.Cole's car passed through the main gates before moving along the long road leading toward the mansion, where several servants were already waiting near the entrance.The momen
Chapter 125- The Ostrea Ultimatum
While Calvin monitored the situation developing around the Osborn family, he spent most of his time inside his office, which he had barely left during the past few weeks.The only times he regularly went outside were when he needed to get food and purchase elemental stones, which he absorbed with the intention of reaching B-Rank as quickly as possible.His office had an en-suite bathroom and bedroom, allowing him to spend most of his time there without needing to go too far from his computers.From that room, Calvin could buy stocks, manage Carter Corp, communicate with the people handling his various operations, and monitor almost every piece of news that appeared concerning the situation he had created.He was doing exactly that one afternoon, sitting before his computer while silently munching on a bag of chips he had purchased the last time he went outside.His attention moved across several news pages until one particular headline on a foreign
Chapter 124- Constructing Motive
Phase 4 of Calvin’s plan kicked off right after Calvin’s call with the CalCorp board of directors.Before the day was over, evidence of corruption and financial crimes connected to the Osborn family began to appear in the news.The information release didn’t start in Edgard, since Calvin understood that doing so would give both the government, which would be implicated in the situation, and the Osborn family the opportunity to suppress the allegations before they could spread.That was why he’d told Crow to start the release in Ostrea, where it could circulate without the immediate influence of the Osborn family or the Edgard government.Documents concerning questionable financial transactions, hidden corporate payments, suspicious business arrangements, and other alleged financial crimes connected to Osborn businesses began appearing in the hands of international news organisations.The material was presented alongside enough supporting information to make the allegations difficult to
