2025-02-14 01:10:32The leader and his men burst into mocking laughter.
"That's enough of this clown show." The leader muttered, signaling to his men.
One of the henchmen pulled out a steel pipe, swung it heavily at Benjamin!
But Benjamin’s reflexes were way sharper than everyone could imagine.
He easily moved out of the way with astonishing speed, snatching the weapon mid-swing.
In one smooth motion, he turned around. The steel pipe took down the attacker.
Before any of the others could react, Benjamin had already dropped two more of them with clean, efficient strikes.
Realizing that Benjamin was no ordinary opponent, the leader stepped forward, cracking his knuckles.
He decided to handle Benjamin personally.
This guy’s massive frame and raw power were enough to intimidate anyone—but not Benjamin.
He had already calculated his moves.
As soon as the man moved to lay in his first punch, Benjamin dispatched him with a single powerful kick.
With a big “boom”, the man crashed into the car door!
Bloodied and defeated, he collapsed and slumped to the ground.
Benjamin dusted off his shirt and walked back towards the car.
The remaining henchmen rushed at Benjamin. As he was distracted by another attack , one man picked up a sledgehammer, sand sneaked up behind.
But Benjamin was faster!
He sidestepped the incoming blow, grabbed the distracted henchman, and yanked him in front of him.
The sledgehammer slammed into the wrong target, knocking out the attacker.
During the flashing time, Benjamin grabbed the second henchman from behind, slamming his head into the cold tar.
His movements were sharp and decisive.
Amanda was still seated in shock.
She had witnessed his fighting skills before, but she had never seen him on this level of action before.
Benjamin walked back to the car.
"We may continue on our journey." He opened the door and said it casually.
Amanda stared at him, stunned.
"That was impressive! How did you do that?!" She yelled out, still breathing heavily from the entire encounter.
" Did you recognize any of them?" Benjamin asked when she started driving.
Amanda shook her head.
"Not at all. But I have a feeling all of these is linked to what happened to Eileen's daughter. Our family and Fishers' had been working togethers these days. And we has many enemies, but there is one who is desperate enough to send them after me."
" You think it’s about the poisoning?" He asked again.
“I know it is.” She exhaled. “We’ll find out soon enough. But now, we need to get to the fundraiser first. I need some places to get a proper outfit.”
‘Women…Even after the attack, she focused more on the outfits.’ Benjamin shook his head, amused.
Amanda found a shop. Minutes later, she slipped into a form-fitting, metallic sheath gown that accentuated her curves.
Her brown hair cascaded in soft curls as she walked toward Benjamin.
Benjamin hadn’t bothered to change; he had no plan to make any attentions.
Besides, his outfit was fine for anything.
“You sure you don’t wanna any changes?” Amanda glanced at him.
“What? My suits are fine enough for the occasion.” Benjamin frowned.
Amanda sweeps past his pilling elbow and let out a chuckle.
“If you said so. But you don’t need it anyway.”
They arrived at the nursing home a little bit late. The security team had been stationed outside, waiting for the greeting.
"Welcome, Miss. Amanda. Welcome, Mr. Benjamin. It’s an honor, Sir. " The security said, addressing him with unexpected reverence.
Amanda shot him a puzzled glance until they walked inside the building.
The atmosphere was different. The staff treated Benjamin with a kind of respect.
"Welcome back! Mr. Benjamin!" The staff acknowledged him with smiling faces.
Amanda continued to stare at him with surprise.
It surprised her even more when they walked into the hall.
The elderly residents of the nursing home started greeting him with enthusiasm.
"Benny! My dear boy!" An old woman hugged him from behind.
"Hello, Mrs. Cornwell." Benjamin smiled, returning the old lady's hug.
“I knew that was you!” Another elderly man walked up to him wearing a smile.
Soon enough, a small crowd of residents gathered around him.
Amanda watched all this in awe.
She had no idea he was that popular among those elders.
This kind of familiarity didn’t happen overnight. Benjamin must have visited often.
The elderly here were ordinary people, unlikely to bring him any material benefit.
The only reason Benjamin kept coming back was simple: he was genuinely a kind person.
The more she thought about it, the more layers of mystery seemed to surround Benjamin, and her curiosity about him only grew...
As the evening gala began, Amanda stepped away to take a phone call, leaving Benjamin to explore the venue.
Prominent figures started arriving, all eager to fight for ownership of the nursing home’s land.
Benjamin stepped outside for some fresh air.
From his spot by the entrance, he overheard two women talking about the nursing home’s future.
“If any businessman buys it, this place might be torn down,” one of them said.
This new information struck Benjamin roughly.
It was not good news at all to hear that the nursing home was at risk of being brought down.
Just then, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up outside, drawing everyone’s attention.

Chapter 115
Benjamin Moore had always known this moment would come. The systemic flaw had watched him move from the shadows, whispering in people’s minds, twisting systems against themselves. But now, as Benjamin stood one step away from the final relic, the flaw changed its approach.It no longer whispered. It roared.The first sign came as Benjamin and his team prepared to move toward the United Nations. Alarms blared across the city, not from their safehouse, but from every device tuned into global news.“Breaking news,” a voice announced on the screen. “Massive earthquakes have struck three continents at once. Entire cities are in chaos. Power grids are failing. Communications are collapsing. Experts are calling it unprecedented, almost coordinated.”Emily’s face drained of color. “This isn’t nature. This is the flaw.”Benjamin nodded grimly. “It’s not hiding anymore. It’s attacking.”The hours that followed were the most exhausting Benjamin had ever experienced.Floods hit coastal regions w
Chapter 114
Benjamin Moore never thought the relics would lead him here. Not to the bottom of an ocean, not into the heart of a volcano, not into the stars but to something painfully ordinary. Something human.The first two Elder Relics had already tested him in ways he could never fully explain. The first had forced him to think with his heart as much as his mind. The second had made his team suffer sacrifices. They had bled for it. They had cried for it. And it had changed them.But when Benjamin placed the second relic beside the first, something happened that none of them expected.The relics hummed. A vibration passed through the air, low at first, then rising into a strange resonance that made the walls of the safehouse tremble. Light flared between them not blinding, but sharp and cutting, like reality itself was bending to let something through.Emily grabbed Benjamin’s arm. “Is this supposed to happen?”He shook his head slowly, eyes locked on the relics. “I don’t know… but I think we’re
Chapter 113
The world was still burning in many ways. Not with fire, but with confusion, distrust, and fear. The systemic flaw’s influence had shaken governments, destroyed trust between neighbors, and made ordinary people wonder if humanity could even last another decade. Every news station, every conversation in the streets, every whisper in the marketplace carried that same heavy question: What if this is the end?But amid all this chaos, something unexpected happened. Something beautiful. Something fragile, but also powerful.Benjamin and Emily decided to get married.It wasn’t just about them, though it could have been. It was about giving the world a story to hold onto. A reminder that love could still grow in cracked soil, that humanity wasn’t just fear and failure, but also laughter, warmth, and trust.The decision didn’t come easily.It happened one night after a long victory. Benjamin had just returned from a grueling mission. The team had managed to expose another network of influen
Chapter 112
The second Elder Relic sat on the table in front of Benjamin Moore, glowing faintly. Its light was softer now, like it had calmed down after Amanda's sacrifice. The camp was too quiet. Everyone felt the weight of what had happened the night before, and though nobody spoke about it directly, the silence said everything.Benjamin hadn’t slept. He kept turning the relic over in his hands, studying the strange markings etched into its surface. Unlike the first relic, which had given him visions of power and possibility, this one seemed heavier with meaning. It whispered, in a way not in words, but in feelings. And those feelings weren’t comforting.Emily stirred beside him. She had stayed close through the night, refusing to let him drown in his own thoughts. Her voice was soft, almost like she was afraid to break the fragile quiet. “You’re still awake?”Benjamin nodded slowly. “I can’t put it down.”“You don’t have to carry it all the time,” Emily said, sitting up straighter. “It won’t v
Chapter 111
The relic was theirs.For hours, Benjamin had stared at it resting in his hands, still half afraid it would vanish into smoke if he blinked. The second Elder Relic pulsed faintly, its crimson and gold glow humming with energy that vibrated through his bones. It felt heavier than it looked, not just in weight but in meaning. He knew just by touching it that he was holding a piece of something far older and wiser than humanity itself.They had fought illusions. They had endured fire, poison air, and collapsing stone. They had risked their lives just to get close to the thing. And now, standing outside the volcanic crater under the cooling night sky, the alliance felt the rare sweetness of victory.Emily sat beside Benjamin, her hair still damp with sweat, her voice low but full of awe. “It’s real, Ben. You’re really holding it.”Benjamin nodded slowly. “Yes. But it feels… alive. Like it’s watching us, judging us.”The others in the alliance gathered around, exhausted but hopeful. They a
Chapter 110
The Elder Relic Benjamin already carried never stopped pulsing, almost like a heartbeat. At first, it was subtle, but now the rhythm was stronger, more demanding, guiding him forward. It wasn’t just an object; it was alive in a way that no one truly understood.Benjamin knew it was leading him to the second relic. The problem? The path it showed was dangerous.Late one night, as he sat with Emily in the strategy room, maps spread out before them, the relic glowed with a faint orange light. Benjamin pressed his hand against it, closed his eyes, and saw a vision. Lava. Smoke. Roaring fire. A mountain that shook as though the earth itself was alive.He opened his eyes quickly, his voice rough. “A volcano.”Emily frowned, leaning closer. “A volcano? You mean the relic is inside one?”“Yes,” Benjamin said. “Not just any volcano. It feels… ancient. Strong. It’s like the earth built this place just to guard what we’re after.”Emily tapped her finger on the table, thinking. “Then we’ll have t
