The two wedding was going to be eventful but yet, the wedding falls on the same day. The six council sat at the table again. Each men with a stern gaze. "The Lochart's are finally showing their claws." on of the eldest elder's said. "Do you think they want him?" Another asked Thud! A staff hit the ground. And Norman stood up. "Any news about the death of Roland Verlic?" he asked The room went silent. "Not a news about his death." Another said. "You do know we need to confirm his death before we can go ahead as appoint his son as part of us? Roland needs to die and it must be soon." Norman said again. "Any idea who Veronica is getting wedded too?" An elder asked"He is a nobody." "A nobody?" "You think Roland I going to let that happen?" Norman frowned. "I don't care who hi

Veronica's fingers tightened around Kael's hands. "We are going to make all of them pay for what they did to you." Tears shimmered in her eyes, but her voice never trembled. Kael looked down at her. For several long seconds, he said nothing. Then, to everyone's surprise, he slowly raised his free hand and wiped away a tear that had escaped down her cheek. "You shouldn't cry for me." Veronica forced a smile. "I'm not crying because you're weak." "Then why?" "Because no one should have suffered what you did." Kael's expression softened for only a heartbeat before the cold mask returned. "Don't pity me." "I don't." She said and stepped closer. "I admire you." Those three words echoed inside the silent mansion. Even Roland looked away, pretending not to notice the unusual tenderness between them. Kael inhaled deeply. "I won't fail this time. I am going to make each and everyone of them suffer for what was done to me and my father." "You won't," Veronica whis

The atmosphere inside the mansion remained tense long after Roland’s revelation.Nobody spoke for several seconds.Everything Kael believed he knew was false.The only sound echoing through the room was the faint ticking of the clock hanging on the wall.Kael stood by the shattered table silently, his thoughts raging like a violent storm.Magnus.Council Zero.His father.The cure.Everything felt heavier now. More personal.But among all those thoughts, one thing remained clear in his mind.Revenge.Slowly, Kael lifted his gaze toward Roland. “Fine.”The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. “Fine?”“I’ll do it.” Kael replied coldly. “I’ll marry your daughter.”Veronica’s breath caught instantly.Carlos blinked in surprise while Dennis quietly leaned against the wall with folded arms. He already expected this outcome.Roland stared deeply at Kael, trying to read the expression on his face. But Kael’s eyes were impossible to understand now.“However,” Kael continued, “Do not mistake th

The room went quiet. Roland suddenly felt his body much more calmer throughout Kael's last touch. He slowly got to his feet and placed a hand on Kael's shoulder."I know how you feel. The rage, the anger and of course the sorrow. But you are better than they are, Kael. You are a god among men." "A god with lots of noise inside his head. Do you know I hear their voices. Their scream of pains and here you are telling me I am a god!" Kael's eyes squeezed in anger. "I know. There is nothing I can say that will justify what we did. But everything we did was for the country. It was for the good of mankind." Roland said again. "Why don't you start by giving me the names that I want. I need names of those who killed my men and those who think they are untouchable." Kael looked at him. "I will give that to you in due time but first, you need to work for me." Roland replied. The room went dead silent. Here was a man who was begging not too long ago but now he was trying to bargain again.

Kael stared at the old man kneeling before him. For a second, nobody breathed. Not Veronica. Not Carlos. Not even Dennis who stood beside the door with one hand on the handle, waiting for Kael’s command. The mighty Roland Verlic—the man who once controlled generals, politicians, scientists and entire military divisions—was now kneeling on the cold floor like a broken sinner begging for mercy. Veronica’s lips trembled. “Father…” she whispered weakly. But Roland ignored her. His eyes never left Kael’s face. “Please,” he said again. “Take my wealth. Take my empire. Take my life if you must. But not my daughter.” Kael’s expression remained unreadable. “You speak as though you care about innocent lives now.” Roland lowered his head. “I deserve that.” “You deserve worse.” Kael’s voice became colder. “Do you know what your men did to Sergeant Leon?” The room remained silent. Kael slowly stepped forward. “They peeled the skin off his back while he was still alive.” Veronica gasped.

"What are you doing, Mr Roland?" Carlos looked at his face. Ronald didn't answer any of them. He simply bowed in front of Kael who was trying to recover from his healing sessions. The room went silent with everyone staring at Roland. "Do I know you sir?" Kael asked, his eyebrows flipping upward for a few seconds"You are him ain't you?" Roland Verlic askedEveryone shifted their gaze once more to Kael. Each of them wondering what was really going on. Veronica moved closer to her father and then try to bring him up to his feet. "You dnt know him, Father. I brought him here because he could.." "I know what he is capable of." Roland said immediately. Dennis looked at Kael again. "We need to leave now, Master. You need to rest." But Carlos immediately rushed towards Kael bowing at his feet. "Please heal my wife. She is dead and only you can bring her back." he said with tears. Veronica and Roland looked at Kael again. Right now, he was the miracle doctor and they were lucky to h
