Supreme Authority Chapter 20
When they entered the private room, the air was heavy with sweat and fear.The old man lay on the bed, pale and shaking, his chest heaving with ragged breaths. His eyes rolled back as if something unseen had its claws in him, tearing from within.Beside him, a young girl shot up from her chair. Barely nineteen, her face was streaked with tears, her eyes swollen and red. “S-sis!” she cried, rushing straight into Cassandra’s arms.“Candice.” Cassandra’s voice broke as she pulled her close, cupping her trembling face. “Tell me. What happened?”“He just collapsed,” Candice stammered, her lips quivering.“He said his chest hurt—then his legs, then everywhere. They’ve been testing him all night, but nothing—nothing—makes sense!” More tears fell, clinging to her lashes like broken glass.She whirled toward the doctors, her voice sharp as a blade. “What is happening to him? Why does my grandfather look like this?!”An older doctor stepped forward, adjusting his glasses with a shaking hand.“M

Supreme Authority Chapter 19
The man who strutted like a king minutes ago was nothing now—broken, filthy, crawling in his own shame.Cassandra’s chest tightened, but not from fear. Fascination gripped her instead. She wanted to see how far he could fall.“Answer her,” Alex said, his tone flat, his head tilting toward Cassandra like the motion of an executioner’s blade.The man’s gaze snapped to her, eyes wide, frantic. “I—I can’t! If I talk, I’m dead! Please—”Alex crouched low, meeting him eye to eye. His voice was steady, but carried the weight of ice. “You’re already dead. The only choice left is whether you die with your secret or your confession.”Then Alex straightened, stepping back. “He’s all yours.”Cassandra closed the gap, her heels crunching against the gravel with every step. She stopped over him, her shadow falling across his ruined face.“Speak. Now. Who sent you?”His chest heaved. He wanted to lie, but Alex’s silent figure loomed in the corner of his vision like a dark omen.The boy… no, the thin

Cassandra snapped her head around. “What? Where are the guards?”Alex’s eyes narrowed, his voice flat. “They’re gone.”A chill clawed up Cassandra’s spine. “That’s impossible. They should’ve—”“Quiet,” Alex cut her off, his tone sharp as a blade. He tapped the glass. “Keep driving. Don’t stop.”The driver’s knuckles whitened on the wheel. The engine howled as he slammed harder on the gas. Cassandra twisted to look back—two black cars were closing in fast.“They’re gaining!” she cried.Alex leaned forward, his voice a command. “Don’t slow down. Take the east turn. Now!”The driver jerked the wheel. Tires shrieked against asphalt, the car tearing forward. But the black sedans mirrored every move, circling like wolves.One pulled up, headlights blazing, then slammed into their bumper. The jolt rattled the entire car. Cassandra gasped, clinging to the handle above her head.“What the hell is wrong with them?” she panted.The driver swerved, barely missing a narrow alley. Another car darte

Supreme Authority Chapter 17
Less than twenty minutes had passed, though to the four onlookers it felt like hours. Finally, Alex lifted his hands from Jessica’s body, his movements steady and precise.“It’s done,” he said, his voice calm but carrying weight. He leaned back on his heels, the tension in the room thick as smoke.“Her body is now as healthy as any normal person’s. All she needs is rest.”For a heartbeat, silence. No one dared move.Adrian stood frozen, his eyes flicking from Jessica’s still form to Alex, searching for a trick, a flaw, anything.“You… you’re saying she’s fine? Just like that?” His voice cracked with disbelief, as if the words themselves fought him.Alex didn’t answer immediately. He set the silk strip aside with deliberate care, then pulled the blanket Cassandra had brought back over Jessica’s waist.“Yes. The poison is gone. What’s left is only exhaustion. She’ll wake naturally once her strength returns.”Cassandra’s hand covered her lips, her wide eyes locked on him. She had seen ev

Supreme Authority Chapter 16
Alex drew in a slow, steady breath, his eyes sweeping over the room. Then he spoke, his voice calm but absolute.“I want everyone not directly helping me out. Now.”The order cut through the air like a blade. One by one, the nurses and guards hesitated, exchanged uneasy glances, then slipped out. In moments, only Lord Miller, Cassandra, Adrian, and Martin remained.Alex tilted his head slightly, locking eyes with Lord Miller. His tone sharpened.“Before I begin, I need certain things prepared.” He started listing, his words precise and deliberate.“A large brass basin, deep enough to reach the elbow. Three buckets of warm, clean water.A bowl of powdered snow-ginseng root—at least fifty years old. If that’s not possible, mountain ginseng of equal age. A sealed jar of black spirit salt. A strip of unbleached silk, two fingers wide.A pine branch, freshly cut, no longer than my arm, bark stripped clean. Two lotus oil candles. Pure—no mixtures. And…” His gaze narrowed on Miller, unflinch

Adrian’s lips pressed into a hard line, his chest heaving as he fought to steady himself. “Grandfather… she was fine at first. Then Dr. Cole—he gave her the medicine, and her… her vitals dropped.” His voice cracked as he caught the look of disappointment in Lord Miller’s eyes.Dr. Cole’s hands trembled, sweat dripping down his face as he stammered, “I—I followed the procedure, sir. I… I don’t understand—”“Silence.” Lord Miller’s voice cut like a blade. His cold stare locked on the doctor as he stepped forward, his presence heavy and suffocating.“Who are you,” he growled, voice low and dangerous, “to meddle in my granddaughter’s life without knowing the risk?”Dr. Cole’s face drained of color. His shoulders hunched inward, shrinking beneath the crushing weight of the old man’s wrath.Lord Miller didn’t wait for his excuse. He snapped his head toward the others. “Where is the healer my sworn brother sent?”Adrian’s jaw tightened. Hesitation flickered in his eyes, but before he could
