Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 17: Behind the Accident
Darian began the process gently, his voice like a soothing whisper, guiding Yara into a deep state of relaxation. He started with general questions about the dinner event, helping Yara to remember small details that might have been forgotten.Slowly, Yara's memories started to return, like puzzle pieces coming together to form a more complete picture. The process was slow and careful, Darian always ensuring that Yara felt comfortable and safe. He knew this was a sensitive process that required patience and a high degree of sensitivity.Under Darian's guidance and the calming flow of his energy, Yara's memories began to unfold. At first, they were vague, like a blurry shadow, but the longer it went on, the clearer they became. She remembered details of the dinner: the lively atmosphere, the laughter, and the delicious aroma of various dishes.She recalled how Arvid's business partner approached her, offering a glass of red wine. “The wine… it smelled so good…” Yara whispered, her voice
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 18: Risky Game
He knew his cunning plan to sedate Yara had failed, and his anger had caused an accident that nearly took Yara’s life. Dharma and Zarina exchanged glances. The information made them uneasy. Dharma let out a long sigh. “Arvid, you don’t understand how dangerous this is,” Dharma said, trembling. “Yara is our daughter. What if she gets hurt? What will we tell people if your plan is exposed?” “Dharma, you need to face reality. We have no other choice. If we don’t do this, everything we’ve built will crumble. And Yara… she’s just a pawn in this game,” Arvid replied coldly. Their anxiety wasn’t just about Yara but also about the secret that could destroy their deal with Arvid. Zarina, sitting beside Dharma, couldn’t hold back her tears. “She’s not a pawn, Arvid! She’s our child! We can’t sacrifice her life for money. Don’t you feel even a shred of humanity?” “Humanity? In this world, humanity doesn’t put food on the table. We need to act, and fast. If you won’t do it, I’ll do it myself
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 19: Arvid Suryadi
The light of the table lamp shone on Yara's pale face. Her breathing was still labored, the remnants of the hypnotic effect still present.Her loose hair covered some of her face, but Darian could see her flushed cheeks and teary eyes.Her lips were trembling slightly, and her hands were still clutching tightly to the thick blanket covering her body. Her voice, when she finally spoke, sounded weak and trembling,“That man...Arvid's associate...he...he mixed anesthetic into my wine,” Yara whispered, her voice almost inaudible.Her eyes were glassy, filled with a mixture of fear, anger, and pain. She was still reeling from the memories she had just experienced.Darian reached for Yara's hand, grasping it gently. His fingers felt cold. He looked empathetically into Yara's eyes, trying to calm her down.His facial expression was gentle, but his eyes showed deep concern. She could feel the tremors of Yara's emotions: the fear that still gripped her and the anger that began to simmer inside
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 20: Beautiful moment
Arvid's remaining men attacked Darian with knives and clubs, but their assaults had no effect. Darian moved swiftly, dodging each strike with extraordinary agility. The sound of heavy impacts echoed in the room: “Thud! Thud! Bam!” One by one, they fell, unable to withstand Darian's ghost-like speed and strength. The metallic scent of blood filled the air, mingling with the aroma of teak wood from the freshly scratched floor. Within minutes, all the attackers lay helpless on the ground, their breaths ragged. Darian approached Yara, who was hiding behind a cabinet, her body trembling. Her shadow flickered on the wall, reflecting her fear. Gently, Darian helped her to her feet, ensuring she was unharmed. His expression was calm, yet his eyes radiated a soothing aura of strength and confidence. Not only was he protecting Yara, but he also gazed at her with tenderness. “You’re safe now,” he whispered, his voice low and calming. Yara, still shaking violently, looked at Darian with te
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 21: Whispers and Desire
Slowly, Darian leaned in, his lips brushing against Yara’s in a tender, loving kiss. The touch was light at first, like the delicate flutter of a butterfly’s wing against the skin, but gradually deepened, exploring every curve of Yara’s lips with a gentle intensity.Their tongues met again in a soft, sensual dance, an unspoken exchange of emotions that words could never capture. Then, Darian pulled back slightly, his gaze locking onto Yara’s—his eyes searching hers, seeking trust and consent in their depths.This was the critical moment—to pause or to continue. A faint smile played on Yara’s lips, a silent agreement. She closed her eyes slowly, her lips parting slightly, inviting Darian to go further. He understood. And so, they did.Their kisses grew more profound, their breaths mingling, creating a sensual harmony. Amidst the kiss, Yara, with a hesitant yet tender motion—like a flower blooming for the first time—guided Darian’s hand toward their room.Their movements were soft and d
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 22: Whispers and Desire 2
His soft touches, quiet sighs, primal moans, fiery gazes, and whispered names filled with affection were all etched into their memories, becoming proof of the love that had just been born amidst the storms of life.Their bodies, once trembling, now relaxed and full of passion, caressed and comforted each other in the soothing exhaustion. There was only love, trust, peace, and deep satisfaction between them.The exhaustion that enveloped them was not ordinary—it was a fulfilling one that carried them into the warm, meaningful embrace of love.After the peak of their passion, they lay in each other’s arms, their bodies still trembling faintly, the remnants of desire lingering on their skin. Their breaths, once rapid, now calmed, syncing with the rhythm of their still-racing hearts.The mingling scents of their bodies—Yara’s vanilla and jasmine blending with Darian’s masculine aroma—created a unique, intoxicating fragrance. In that moment, they were one—bound by trust, desire, and a love
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 23: The Suryadi Power
The morning sun bathed the grand Suryadi residence, a stately colonial-style mansion standing proudly on several hectares of land. Inside, however, the atmosphere was thick with tension.Arvid Suryadi, the only son of a wealthy family, lay battered and bruised on the floor of the opulent living room. His face was swollen, his lips bloodied, and his clothes torn. It was a humiliating sight for the Suryadi family, known for their wealth and martial prowess.The Suryadi guards, a group of burly men with sharp eyes and trained bodies, stood tensely around Arvid. They were elite martial artists, skilled in various fighting styles, and rumoured to have secret ties to a powerful shadow sect known as the "Black Wolves." The existence of this sect added to the Suryadi family's strength and influence, making them even more arrogant and ruthless.But tonight, their arrogance had been dealt a heavy blow. The one who had humiliated the Suryadi family was an unknown man named Darian.Darian, a seem
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 24: The Heart's Healing
The aroma of coffee still lingered in the room, the warmth of the morning enveloping them both. With a soft smile, Yara gazed at Darian after he told her about Anita. Her eyes had a depth, an understanding that went beyond words."Darian," she said, her voice gentle yet filled with certainty, "You know, I’ve never seen you as mine. True love is about giving, not possessing. If your body wanders, let it. As long as you always return to me with a pure heart, with honesty."She continued, her voice trembling slightly with emotion, "I am happy to see you happy. Every smile of yours, every laugh you share with them, makes me feel alive. As long as you're open and honest with me, I trust you. Your heart is mine, even if your body may be surrounded by other beauty."With eyes full of love, she added, "So, enjoy this world. I’m here, always supporting you, because, for me, true love knows no boundaries. Trust and honesty are the foundation of our love, and I trust you." She reached for Darian

Chapter 55: Firestorm Over the Satellite City
In a single night, a criminal empire worth millions crumbled to ash. But behind the raging flames lay betrayal, secrets, and a plan far greater than vengeance. Is the world ready to face the Shadow Legion? ✨✨✨ Beneath a sky choked with heavy, gray clouds, the satellite city of Veltar stood in deceptive silence. Tucked on the fringes of Imperium City, it was a nerve center for the underworld—a place where narrow streets reeked of cigarette smoke and whispered deals. The old warehouses by its small harbor were a haven for smugglers, drug lords, and hired thugs loyal to the Nocturne Imperium. But tonight, the shadows would dance in a blaze of fire. Darian stood atop a hill overlooking Veltar, his black cloak billowing in the cold night wind. Beside him, the seven members of the Shadow Legion—Arvid, Briana, Lena, Rina, Kenzo, Tony, and Jax—stood in formation, their eyes burning with resolve. Each had recently reached new heights in their cultivation, their spirits alight with purpo
Chapter 52: Roars and Laughter
By the fourth hour, only seven remained: Arvid, Briana, Lena, Rina, Kenzo, Tony, and Jax. Their bodies trembled violently, but their resolve was unyielding.What was once calm, healing pools are now churned with wild energy. The waters dance like miniature storms, stirred by the fierce surge of Qi within them.Then, as the fifth hour struck, a series of muffled booms echoed—one after another—from within each of the seven. It wasn't a sound born of the world outside, but from deep within. Their Qi had broken through to a new level.That surge of overwhelming energy caused the pools to erupt in turbulence, sending waves crashing against the edges. The air around them grew heavier and denser, with a raw aura of power so intense it could almost be felt on the skin.“Enough,” Darian's voice rang out, low but commanding, echoing through the training ground. His eyes swept over the seven who still stood. There was pride in his gaze—quiet, profound pride.One by one, they stepped out of the p

They must shed their shame and clothes to achieve a power beyond imagination. But can their spirits remain unbroken when pain takes over their bodies?"✨✨✨At the basecamp, the members of the Shadow Corps worked tirelessly, hammering and building the healing pools just as they had been instructed. The sound of tools striking stone echoed across the crisp mountain air.Everyone moved purposefully, knowing this was more than just a task—a chance to prove themselves.Amid the commotion, Rina approached Arvid, her eyes reflecting excitement and doubt. "Will this work? I've never even heard of healing pools before," she said, her voice barely louder than the wind.Arvid gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, his smile warm. "Trust Darian," he said simply. "He never does anything without a reason. If he says this will help, then believe it—it will. All we need to do is give it everything we've got and keep our spirits high."Rina nodded firmly, the spark of determination reigniting i

"What Happens When Warriors Are Pushed Beyond Their Limits? The Fire Dragon Technique Will Change Everything."✨✨✨Darian nodded slowly, his mind racing with possibilities. "How long will this process take?""If we start now, I estimate it will take about five to seven days to identify suitable candidates," Kai replied, calm but purposeful."After that, they’ll need intensive training using a combination of Dantian Essence Pills and basic elemental fire control techniques. Within two weeks, they should be able to wield fire in destructive forms and more subtle ways—like heat waves capable of incapacitating opponents without killing them."A faint smile tugged at the corners of Darian’s lips, his eyes gleaming with quiet excitement. "This could be the turning point in our strategy. If we can train even a handful of soldiers to master the Fire Dragon Technique, we’ll have a significant advantage over our enemies.""Indeed, Master Darian," Kai added, his tone thoughtful. "But remember, t

"Fire Dragon Technique: The Stolen Secret That Could Turn the Tide of War"A dangerous heist. A forbidden technique. And one woman’s ultimate sacrifice—this is how legends are forged.✨✨✨“But how can they get the support of the Kardhana Sect? That sect has always pretended to keep its distance from the modern world...” He paused momentarily, then his voice became a murmur full of understanding and anger.“Or maybe... that's their true face. The Kardhana Sect isn't just a secretive sect- they're a black cabal. They hide their ambitions behind the cloak of tradition, but in reality... they thirst for power, and now they have found the perfect vessel: The Emperor.”Lena smiled broadly. “And as it turns out, the Emperor isn't just anybody. He has a close relationship with one of the Kardhana Elders, an old man named Zhan. It is said that he was the Emperor's spiritual mentor since his youth. It is this relationship that allows them to work together.”Arvid let out a long breath, his fac
Chapter 50: A Pact in the Shadows
A secret meeting occurred several kilometers away in an upscale nightclub named Shadow Crown. The club was one of the primary sources of income for the Metropolis Imperium. In this haven, high-ranking officials, wealthy business people, and even celebrities gathered to gamble and indulge, all under the protection of the Emperor himself.In the VIP room, Marcus, one of the Emperor’s field commanders, sat across from Lena, a young woman with fiery red hair and a smile that never quite reached her eyes. Lena was a spy, and her loyalty was always up for sale to the highest bidder.“So, what news do you have about the Shadow Troops?” Marcus asked, his voice calm but laced with tension as he sipped from a crystal glass filled with amber liquid.Lena’s lips curled into a cunning grin. “They’re being trained at a secret base deep in the mountains. But I don’t yet know the exact location. I can tell you that they’re almost ready to move.”Marcus narrowed his eyes, his grip tightening around th
Chapter 49: Imperium Metropolis
Mid Stage: Qi RefinementOnce Qi has been gathered, the next crucial step is refining it. At this stage, the raw energy collected within the body is purified and condensed, becoming sharper, denser, and far more powerful. Practitioners who reach this level can begin channeling their Qi to strengthen their physical form, move with unnatural speed, and even unleash basic Qi-based attacks—like fireballs or shockwaves.You, Lord Darian, are currently standing at this very stage. The fact that you managed to defeat the entire Shadow Battalion with one hand speaks volumes. You've not only grasped this level—you’ve mastered it.Advanced Stage: Core FormationThis is a monumental step in any cultivator’s path. It’s where the practitioner succeeds in forging a Qi Core deep within their body, usually in the lower Dantian. This core becomes a wellspring of immense, stable power—far more reliable than scattered Qi.At this level, the practitioner isn't just strong—they are formidable. They gain a
Chapter 48: The Path of Cultivation
While the Shadow Troops, led by Arvid, trained rigorously under the scorching sun and biting cold of the mountain air, elsewhere in a more secluded and tranquil location, Darian immersed himself in cultivation practice with Kai, his virtual assistant who had become an integral part of his life.This place was a hidden valley surrounded by towering cliffs and dense trees. The air there was incredibly fresh, brimming with natural energy that supported cultivation practices.Darian sat cross-legged on a flat, moss-covered stone, his eyes closed, his body calm yet focused. Around him, thin mist swirled gently, carrying subtle but powerful vibrations of energy. Although Kai lacked a physical form, he was present as a faint blue light hovering near Darian, providing real-time guidance and analysis."Kai," Darian murmured softly, his voice barely audible over the rustling wind. "Where do we begin today?"[Master Darian,] Kai’s clear and serene voice echoed in his mind. [Based on data collect
Chapter 47 The Shadow of the Young Master
Darian paused for a moment. Then, he continued in a louder, firmer voice.“On the battlefield or in the world of darkness, whoever has the bigger fist is the law. Whoever is stronger has the right to speak.I believe that this is an iron rule that applies everywhere! Therefore, I have one goal: to be stronger and stronger. Only then will we not be bullied by others; only then can we protect those around us that we love, including our family and friends!”Darian let out a long sigh, looking at the now-silent arena. He walked towards Arvid, stopping a few steps in front of him.He looked down at Arvid, his face showing pent-up disappointment and pain.As a young master, Arvid had never been treated so harshly, despite his best efforts.“You go see Alex tomorrow. Tell him you're the team leader of the Shadow Army,” Darian said, his voice softer but still firm.“At least compared to the others, you have more courage to say what you think. You have the assets to become stronger.”Arvid was
