2025-04-16 16:05:12The air in the war chamber pulsed with unnatural stillness. The Oracle had already vanished into mist, her duty fulfilled. No one dared speak—not even Valeria—as Javier descended the dais, each step reverberating with raw, ancient force.
He no longer felt like flesh and blood.
He felt inevitable.
Valeria moved forward hesitantly, reaching up to touch his cheek. “Javier... can you still feel me?”
Javier’s gaze met hers. The golden light in his eyes softened, just enough to reveal a flicker of familiarity beneath the divine presence.
“I remember,” he said, his voice low but resonating. “I remember you.

The quiet between them was broken only by the crackling of the hearth. Outside, the city of Solano celebrated its deliverance, but inside the tower, the weight of prophecy and power still loomed between Valeria and Javier.A soft knock echoed from the chamber doors.Javier didn’t speak, but his glance was enough.The doors creaked open and Serina, Valeria’s cousin, entered. Her expression was tight, composed—but her eyes betrayed something deeper: apprehension, and something else Javier instantly recognized.Jealousy.“Forgive the interruption,” she said coolly, her gaze sliding toward Javier, “but I thought it necessary to offer my... congratulations.”

Thunder cracked above the city of Solano just as the moon began to rise, casting an ethereal glow upon the palace's silver towers. The wedding had ended hours ago, but the aftershocks of Javier Everhart's declaration still rippled through the court.Inside the royal chambers, Valeria removed her veil, her fingers shaking slightly despite her regal bearing. Her eyes remained on the window where Javier stood, his silhouette motionless, framed by lightning in the distance."You didn’t have to humiliate her," Valeria said quietly.Javier didn’t turn. "She needed to be reminded where she stands."“She’s my blood.”“She wanted to see me destroyed on our wedding day.” His voice was calm, but cold enough to silence any further defens

“You should’ve handled this before it reached my desk.”Javier’s voice sliced through the tension in the Everhart corporate boardroom like a blade through silk. He didn’t raise his voice, didn’t shift in his seat, didn’t even look up from the document in front of him. Yet, the twelve directors seated around the obsidian table felt the temperature in the room drop by several degrees.One of them, a gray-haired executive named Dalton Vexley, cleared his throat. “With all due respect, Chairman Everhart, the acquisition of Helix BioCorp was executed according to protocol—”“No,” Javier cut in. “It was executed according to arrogance.”The room fell silent.Helix BioCorp was a mid-tier biotech company. Profitable. Ambitious. But behind its pristine façade was a web of corruption, falsified data, and undisclosed debts. The acquisition should have never passed Javier’s radar. But it had. Because someone wanted it to.He slowly lifted his gaze. “Who gave final sign-off?”No one answered.Javi

A week passed, and the silence surrounding Everhart Tower was not peace—it was anticipation. The media didn’t know what to report, competitors were too stunned to make a move, and within the boardroom, the remaining directors operated with a newfound fear-fueled respect. Javier Everhart had reasserted his dominance—not by shouting or begging, but through decisive force and unshakable calm.Still, Javier wasn’t satisfied.Because someone had bought the leaked BioSync data.And they hadn’t just bought it—they’d begun using it.“Atlas Dynamics,” Valeria said, laying a file on his desk. “Private tech firm. New player. Nobody took them seriously until last quarter. Now, they’re mirroring your patents, beating us to prototype.”Javier read in silence. The CEO of Atlas was a name he didn’t recognize. Jonathan Cross. American. Thirty-two. Built his empire fast—too fast.“Where did he get the capital?” Javier asked.Valeria replied, “He didn’t. A shell company funneled investments into Atlas l

The vows were spoken, and the crowd erupted into applause as Javier Everhart kissed his bride. It wasn’t just a wedding. It was a coronation.Valeria held his hand tightly as they descended the marble steps of the cathedral. Every major figure from politics, finance, and industry was there. Some came to show respect. Others came to witness whether Javier would fall.He didn’t.Instead, his presence loomed over them all—imposing, calm, untouchable.But as the couple stepped into the black limousine, Valeria leaned close and whispered, “The Syndicate won’t stop with one threat.”“I know,” Javier said, his tone unreadable. “They’ve declared war.”“And you’ll declare what?”

“They moved their funds through six dummy accounts across Zurich, Singapore, and Dubai,” Javier said as he stood in the secure command room beneath Everhart Tower. His voice was level, unfazed, though the screen in front of him showed the massive financial hemorrhage caused by the Syndicate’s reach.Valeria stood beside him, arms crossed, eyes scanning the data. “And our clients?”“Two have pulled contracts. Five more are hesitant. They’re scared.” Javier didn’t blink. “Which means it’s time to scare them back.”A low hum buzzed from the encrypted comms device as Heather, his most trusted tech analyst, appeared on screen.“We’ve traced the money to Crosswell Ventures. Front company. Offsh

Valeria stood in stunned silence, the document still clutched in her hand. Her mind raced through memories of her uncle—charismatic, influential, always two steps ahead in the political and corporate arenas. She’d idolized him once, even trusted him to help manage the Everhart acquisitions. The realization that he was part of the Ouroboros Circle left a bitter taste in her mouth.“You’re sure?” she asked finally, her voice a whisper.Javier didn’t look at her. “He authorized the wire transfers to Crosswell Ventures three days before your father died. The timing wasn’t a coincidence. He knew what was coming. He helped set it in motion.”Valeria turned her gaze to Javier. He stood with hands clasped behind his back, unmoved, calm as ever—as if betrayal had be

The grand ballroom of Everhart Estate buzzed with celebration. Power brokers, nobles, international investors, and high-ranking officials raised their glasses to toast the union of Javier Everhart and Valeria Arlington. The wedding had become more than a symbol of love—it was now a strategic statement: Everhart stood unshaken.But while music echoed and champagne flowed, Javier remained calm. He stood near the edge of the hall, watching the shadows of those who only a month ago doubted him, mocked him, even tried to destroy him. Now, they smiled and bowed.Valeria approached quietly, her gown shimmering beneath the chandeliers. “You're thinking too much.”Javier glanced sideways. “Thinking keeps enemies in check.”She slid her arm through hi

Valeria's breath caught in her throat. For a moment, time fractured — the wind howled louder than before, the city lights below flickered like uncertain stars, and Javier’s silence weighed heavier than any explosion.Javier lowered the phone, his grip tight enough to crack the case. He turned to face Valeria, golden eyes scanning her face not for guilt, but for confirmation — for strength.She didn’t flinch. “They’re trying to divide us.”“No,” Javier said, voice low. “They’re trying to bait me.”Valeria stepped closer. “Then don’t fall for it.”But he was already moving, sharp strides carrying him toward the rooftop exit. “Heather, prepare the car. I want the lab locked down. I’ll be there in ten.”“Yes, sir,” Heather replied without hesitation.Valeria moved to follow. “You’re not going without me.”Javier paused in the doorway, looking over his shoulder. “This isn’t some gala scandal, Valeria. They marked you.”“And I won’t hide like some trembling heiress.” Her eyes burned, proud
CHAPTER 117
The night was thick with silence, but Javier Everhart stood tall in the aftermath of chaos, his coat lightly torn and blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. Around him, the wreckage of the battle still smoked—cracked stone, scorched pillars, and the lingering scent of alchemical combustion. Hudson lay on the floor, curled and trembling, his pride stripped away. The mysterious robed figure had vanished, but not before seeding a new storm.Javier’s golden eyes stared into the darkness, reading the invisible runes the enemy left behind. A spell. A message. A warning."This mark... it's from the Eldritch Convergence," Javier murmured to himself. His voice, though calm, carried the weight of certainty. The Convergence was an ancient cult of alchemists long thought extinct, said to have merged alchemy with forbidden arcane rituals. If they were returning now, it meant the world would soon face something it was never prepared to endure.And they had come for him.Before he could dive
CHAPTER 116
The atmosphere in the room grew thick with anticipation, a suffocating pressure bearing down on everyone present. Javier, though outwardly calm, felt the shift—an unfamiliar and ominous presence that crept beneath the very foundation of the space. It was as if the world itself were holding its breath, waiting for something to snap.Hudson, still clutched in Javier's grasp, struggled to gather his breath. His once-proud demeanor was now crumbling, a shadow of the man he had been moments ago. Yet, the glint in his eyes told a different story. Something deep within him had ignited—something ancient and terrible.Javier’s grip tightened, but his focus shifted. His senses sharpened, and a cold shiver crawled down his spine. This was no ordinary threat. The air was laced with an unnatural energy, the kind that Javier had only encountered in the most
CHAPTER 115
Hudson stepped forward, his boots striking the broken ground with a resonating thud, as if he were the harbinger of something far worse than even Lazarus' dark magic. His presence exuded power — unyielding and oppressive. Every inch of his being seemed like a force of nature, relentless and untouchable.Javier’s eyes flickered towards him, but there was no shift in his demeanor. The calm that surrounded him was like the stillness before a storm. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t even blink.Hudson’s voice was low and dangerous, a growl that echoed in the stillness of the chamber.“You’ve made your mistakes, Javier,” Hudson said, his lips curling into a cruel smile. “You think you can challenge me, the legacy of centuries? You’re nothing more than an illusion, a child playing at alchemy. Your power is a hollow shell.”Javier’s hand still rested in the air, his fingers twitching slightly as if ready to strike again, but he didn’t move. He didn’t need to.“I don’t play at anything,” Javier rep
CHAPTER 114
The titan tore itself from the last of the golden chains, its body surging with renewed, terrifying strength.Lazarus stood behind it, hands folded calmly behind his back, as if he had already won. His golden eyes never left Javier, gleaming with malicious amusement.Valeria gripped Javier’s sleeve tighter, feeling the heat of the battlefield rise. She could barely breathe, the pressure was so immense, but Javier… he didn’t flinch.He didn’t move.He simply stared.Silent.Calculating.Then, finally, he spoke — voice low and dangerous."You mistake survival for inheritance."The titan lunged, spear whistling through the air with monstrous force.Javier moved.One step.That was all.The spear missed entirely, embedding itself into the stone wall behind him with an ear-shattering crash. Before the titan could recover, Javier’s fingers flicked forward, almost lazily.A thin line of silver light cut through the darkness.The titan froze mid-motion.A crack, faint but unmistakable, split
CHAPTER 113
Javier moved at the last instant, evading the strike by mere inches. The shockwave flattened the nearby walls, sending debris spiraling into the blackness. Valeria covered her head, shielding herself from the raining stones.Javier stood unharmed in the eye of the storm.The titan turned its hollow, glowing gaze toward him again. Its massive hand wrenched the spear from the cracked earth and spun it with unnatural speed, wind howling around the weapon.A second strike came—faster, more brutal.Javier didn’t back down.Instead, he raised his right hand, fingers moving in intricate, ancient patterns midair. A low hum resonated from his palm, gathering into a thin golden sigil
CHAPTER 112
The world blurred into chaos.The floor swallowed them whole, but Javier landed cleanly, as if he had expected it all along. His boots hit the dark stone with a controlled thud. Around him, pieces of the collapsing building rained down, dust choking the stale air. Valeria stumbled nearby, coughing violently. Lucian and the others were nowhere to be seen—only distant screams and the grinding of stone echoed.Javier rose, dusting his coat casually.From the depths of the darkness, Subject Zero’s laughter slithered toward him."You fall into my home now, Everhart," the monster rasped, voice booming through the hollow underground. "Here, the rules change."Javier ignored the

CHAPTER 111
The room held its breath.Subject Zero stepped through the dust and chaos like a ghost given flesh. Seven feet tall, skin pale as wax, a twisted alchemical brand pulsing red-hot across his chest. His eyes—too human to be soulless, too inhuman to be sane—were locked on only one person.Javier Everhart.The guards raised their weapons. Lucian North scrambled back, nearly tripping over his own fear. Alric didn’t speak; he merely pressed his back against the farthest wall, trembling like a man watching a nightmare he once created walk again.“You,” Subject Zero rasped, voice deep and strange—as if several voices spoke through one mouth. “Everhart.”Javier didn’t move. His stance remained relaxed, one hand in his coat pocket. “I figured you’d come.”Subject Zero’s cracked lips curled into something like a grin. “They said you died. That the last of the alchemists was gone.”“They lied,” Javier said simply.Valeria grabbed his arm. “Javier—this thing—what is it?”He glanced at her. “A bypro
