THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 125
Heather Reed stormed out of the venue, her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor as she dialed Maria with trembling fingers.“Maria!” she hissed into the phone, breath ragged. “You need to come. Now. It’s Derek. He’s been—he’s been beaten, and it’s not just that. You need to see who did it.”“What?! Beaten?!” Maria’s voice cracked through the speaker. “Where are you?”“The reception hall. Hurry!”Maria arrived minutes later, breathless, gown flowing behind her like a trail of chaos. She pushed through the crowd only to see Derek sprawled across the floor, face drenched in red wine, struggling to speak through a busted lip.“Oh my God,” she gasped. “What happened to you?”Derek groaned, spitting out blood. “It was him—Jack Sullivan! That bastard humiliated me! Call my father! Call Uncle Warren! They’ll make him pay!”Heather stood nearby, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her eyes darting between Jack and the growing crowd.Jack Sullivan, calm and composed, leaned back i

“Mr. Sullivan?” she muttered, looking at her husband. “You... you didn’t tell me.”David Smith stood beside her, his face blank as he stared at Jack, the realization dawning on him as well.Jack Sullivan, who had once been just the man to help them with a business deal, was Mr. Sullivan—the figure of power and mystery that everyone feared.Lisa’s voice cracked. “How... how could you not tell me?” She turned to David, her eyes filled with hurt. “You’ve known all along?”David remained silent, his jaw tight. How was he supposed to explain?Meanwhile, Heather Reed, who had earlier mocked Jack for his lack of importance, now found herself on her knees, trembling. She bowed her head to the floor. “Mr. Sullivan, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”Her voice was shaky, and the room fell into an uncomfortable silence as she waited for Jack’s response.Jack, still calm and composed, took a slow sip from his wine glass. He didn’t even glance at Heather. “Stand up, Miss Reed,” he said coolly. “I do

The air in the reception hall crackled with tension. Jack Sullivan’s fury was palpable, his eyes cold as they locked onto Victor Lawrence and his son Derek, who was still trying to steady himself after the humiliation. Jack’s fingers curled into a fist at his side, the anger burning beneath his calm exterior.“You think I’m done?” Jack’s voice was low, icy, and every word dripped with menace. “No, Victor. This ends now.”Victor’s jaw tightened, and he stood taller, attempting to retain his pride. “You’ve made your point, Mr. Sullivan. But my son is not some animal you can—”“I’m not done with you yet,” Jack interrupted, his gaze shifting to Derek. “Both of you need to kneel. Now. Apologize.”Derek’s face twisted in fury. “You think I’m going to kneel to you? You’ve got another thing coming!”Victor’s hand clenched at his side, his mind racing. He could feel the power shift in the room, and the realization hit him like a ton of bricks—this was Jack’s territory. This was Carson City. Th

As the music resumed at the wedding, the mood had shifted dramatically. Where once whispers of doubt surrounded Jack Sullivan, now every step he took was met with hushed reverence. The most feared man in Carson City had just made an example out of the Lawrences—and everyone was watching.“Mr. Sullivan, may I pour you another glass?” a trembling waiter asked, bowing so low his forehead nearly touched the table.“No need,” Jack said coolly. “I’ve already spilled enough tonight.”Laughter rippled across the room—nervous, forced, but there.Heather Reed, still dressed in her bridesmaid gown, made her way over to David Smith. Her smile was suddenly sweet, her eyes glistening with what she hoped looked like regret.“David…” she purred, placing a hand gently on his arm. “About earlier… I didn’t mean to say all those things. I—I was confused. But seeing you now, I realize I made a mistake.”David raised a brow. “Yeah, you did. A big one. The size of your ego, actually.”“Come on,” she said wi

Matthew groaned on the leather couch, a towel pressed against the hole in his ribs where Jack's finger had almost turned him into a human donut. Jack stood nearby, arms crossed, eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and warning.“You stink,” Jack said bluntly. “Like rotting lizard mixed with cheap poison.”Matthew winced. “That’s not my cologne.”Jack knelt beside him. “Don’t play games. That smell on you—what is it? Start talking before I turn the other side of you into Swiss cheese.”Matthew swallowed hard. “It’s from Scorpion Hollow… in Pine Ridge. I went there two weeks ago with Victor Lawrence. We were looking for some rare creatures.”Jack’s eyes narrowed. “Scorpion Hollow? You telling me you stepped into that death trap?”“Not willingly!” Matthew coughed. “Victor said we’d find something useful. There were mutated scorpions, the size of dogs—vicious. Nearly everyone got wiped out. I… I got bit.”Jack leaned in, now genuinely intrigued. Scorpion Hollow... that place was just a l

At an old teahouse in South Carson, Charlotte Shaw sipped jasmine tea, legs crossed, eyes fixed on the frail man seated across from her. Uncle Frank, once a martial arts legend, now leaned heavily on a cane, his left leg twitching involuntarily.“You’re going to Scorpion Hollow?” he asked, coughing. “Have you lost your damn mind, girl?”Charlotte sighed. “I don’t need a lecture, Uncle Frank. I need protection. Someone who can handle whatever’s in that cave.”He gave her a look. “Honey, I got arthritis, three broken ribs, and a spine that clicks when I sneeze. You think I’m hiking into poison cave central?”“Then give me someone. Recommend someone.”Frank scratched his grizzled chin. “There’s one. James Logan. Senior disciple of Master Wilson. Older martial brother of the guy Jack Sullivan turned into roadkill last month.”Charlotte blinked. “He’s alive?”Frank grinned. “Back in the States. Quiet. Waiting for his chance to kill Sullivan. He hates Jack more than your makeup artist hates

As Jack approached the stalled tourist bus, Ashley turned to her classmates with a bright smile.“That’s my brother-in-law,” she said proudly.Jack gave her a small nod. “Hope you’ve been behaving, Ash.”Brian, still rubbing his cheek from earlier, scoffed loudly. “Brother-in-law? That’s what we’re calling him now? Doesn’t look like family. Looks like the guy who sleeps behind gas stations.”Jack turned to him slowly. “Still talking? I thought we fixed that.”The students chuckled, and Brian’s ears turned red. His chest puffed up like a blowfish.“I don’t know who you think you are,” Brian snapped, “but this area ahead? It’s blocked. Government access only. No one goes through without permission.”Jack didn’t even blink. He turned and kept walking, motioning to Matthew. “Let’s go.”Matthew gave Brian a half-smile as he limped after Jack. “Thanks for the weather report.”Brian's face twisted in disbelief. “Hey! Did you not hear me? You’re trespassing!”Jack lifted a hand as he walked.
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 132
Jack Sullivan walked with steady steps, his hands in his coat pockets, as though he were headed to a casual brunch instead of a notorious death cave.Nie Mitchell trudged behind him, glancing nervously at the muddy footprints along the path. “Sir, uh… those tracks… someone’s already ahead of us. A lot of people. Probably armed. Maybe dangerous.”Jack didn’t break stride. “So?”“So… maybe we should slow down? I mean, this place has a reputation. Nine Scorpion Cave isn’t called that for the landscaping.”Jack smirked. “Relax. If we run into trouble, I’ll use you as bait.”Nie nearly tripped. “W-what?!”“Calm down,” Jack said lazily. “You’d die too fast to make good bait anyway.”Ashley, walking a few steps behind them, frowned. She hadn’t exactly planned on coming this far, but something about Jack’s calm, unbothered attitude made it hard to turn back.Better than staying with that discount peacock Brian and his giggling fan club, she thought. Besides… there’s something different about

The air in the lounge was quiet now. Too quiet.Nancy Winter sat stiffly on the edge of the velvet couch, her hands curled tightly in her lap. Across from her, Tyler Tian sat with that same crooked smile, holding a porcelain teapot like he was hosting a tea party instead of manipulating someone’s future.“I understand,” Tyler said smoothly. “You’re upset. I might’ve come on too strong. It’s my fault.”Nancy glanced at him warily. “So… we’re done here?”He chuckled, pouring her tea. “No, no. Not at all. I still want to invest. Your talent deserves the spotlight.”Nancy’s brows furrowed. “Even after I slapped your contact and walked out?”Tyler shrugged. “That shows fire. Passion. I respect that. Besides, I’m not the type to let one heated moment ruin something beautiful.”Nancy bit her lip, unsure. Everything about him still felt wrong—like a snake slithering in a silk suit.But her phone buzzed in her pocket. A message from her mother:“Hospital called again. The bills went up. We nee

The corners of his mouth twitched—a glitch in his programming. For a split second, his expression was unreadable, primitive, before smoothing back into practiced charm."Nancy." The voice came from behind her, a familiar baritone laden with forced joviality. "There you are!"Brent Wyatt, her agent of eight years, appeared at her elbow like a conjuring trick. His Tom Ford suit (last season's, bought on discount) strained slightly at the shoulders, and his smile was plastered on with the desperation of a man watching his commission evaporate."Mr. Tian," Brent said, extending a hand that Tyler pointedly ignored. "I see you two are getting acquainted. Excellent, excellent.""Your client seems reluctant to discuss terms," Tyler said, his voice a study in affected boredom.Brent's laugh was too loud, bouncing off the marble like broken glass. "Come on, Nancy," he said, chuckling nervously. "Don't make a scene. Mr. Tian's being generous. Thirty million isn't pocket change. This could launch
CHAPTER 191
Inside the private lounge of Volcano Crest Resort, the atmosphere was rich with lavender incense and fake sincerity. The marble floors gleamed under golden chandeliers, and the faint sound of soft jazz oozed from the walls like a forced smile.At the center of it all sat Nancy Winter, the nation’s sweetheart, dressed in a sleek silk robe and holding a teacup she hadn’t sipped from.Across from her was Tyler Tian, the spoiled son of Eastridge’s city leader.Tyler looked like wealth had dressed him, fed him, and done his thinking for him. Expensive watch, custom shoes, cologne that tried too hard. But behind the practiced grin, something was… off. His eyes were vacant, smile twitching—like a puppet trying to pass as human.The porcelain teacup before her remained untouched, its contents cooling from scalding to tepid. Her lipstick—the same shade as her dress—would leave no mark on it today."Why so tense, Nancy?" Tyler Tian's voice slithered across the space between them. "You look like
CHAPTER 190
The room was still tense with the aftershock of Thomas Tang’s public humiliation.He remained kneeling on the ground like a squashed roach, blood drying on his nose, terrified to breathe too loud in case Jack Sullivan changed his mind and finished the job.Meanwhile, Tina Yale, who had once laughed at Rachel and treated Jack like a peasant, now stood frozen like her brain had blue-screened.“Y-You’re really from that Sullivan family?” she stammered, voice brittle.Jack didn’t look at her. He was helping Rachel into a dry robe, gently draping it over her shoulders.Tina stepped forward, voice switching from arrogant to syrupy-sweet in a heartbeat. “Mr. Sullivan! Oh my gosh, I had no idea you were… that important.”Jack glanced at her, unimpressed.“I mean,” Tina continued with a nervous giggle, “if I had known, I never would’ve... well, you know… spoken out of turn.”Rachel rolled her eyes. “You mean called him a show-off and treated him like a janitor?”Tina turned red. “That was a jo

Rachel Young stood dripping in front of the steaming pool, arms clutched around herself, face burning redder than the volcanic mist surrounding them. She wanted to vanish. Right there. Into the steam, the water, the ground—anywhere but here.“I—it was an accident!” she stammered, looking at Tina, Wendy, and the furious man storming toward them.But no one was listening.Thomas Tang, red-faced and puffed up like a spoiled goose, stood in the doorway with his guards flanking him like bulldogs on a leash. His expensive shirt was unbuttoned halfway like he was auditioning for a mob boss role he had no business playing."You humiliate me in public," Thomas snarled, pointing a shaking finger at Jack. "You touch what’s mine, and you think you’ll walk away? I’ll crush you! You have no idea who I am!”Jack didn’t flinch.Still standing half-submerged in the spring, he calmly handed Rachel a towel. “Dry off. Don’t catch a cold.”Rachel blinked at him, stunned by his cool demeanor.He’s calm? Wi

The audition room stank of desperation—cheap perfume, bad foundation, and the raw hunger of a hundred girls clawing for a scrap of fame.When it was finally Rachel Young’s turn, Tina Yale nearly dragged her to the front like a prize cow being paraded for auction.Standing near the casting table was Thomas Tang, heir to one of Eastridge’s wealthiest families and son of the President of the Chamber of Commerce. A man who thought his last name gave him the right to pluck any girl he wanted like low-hanging fruit.Tina whispered excitedly, "Smile, girl. You’re about to get your golden ticket."Rachel, heart hammering, tried her best to act polite."Mr. Tang, this is Rachel Young," Tina said with a simpering smile. "She’s amazing. She’s perfect for the role."Thomas didn’t even bother hiding the way his eyes swept over Rachel, lingering far too long.A sleazy grin spread across his face as he reached out, trying to grab Rachel’s hand like she was an item on display."Come," Thomas said, vo
CHAPTER 187
The casting line at Volcano Crest Resort barely moved.Rachel Young stood in heels that pinched and a dress she didn’t even like, eyes flicking toward the fake movie banner ahead: Spring Heart, Winter Flame. A glorified soap opera wrapped in indie film packaging—except everyone knew what it really was.A gift-wrapped vanity project for Nancy Winter, funded by someone with too much money and not enough talent.Beside her, Tina Yale tapped away on her phone, smirking as she read through a gossip blog post.“I swear,” Tina said, laughing, “if Nancy gets any more plastic surgery, the next red carpet should be hosted by a recycling plant.”Rachel shot her a look. “Maybe don’t say that right before we walk in to audition to play her servant?”Tina shrugged, unbothered. “Oh, please. She doesn’t even know who’s getting cast. The real boss here is Tyler Tian.”Rachel raised an eyebrow. “You mean the guy funding all this?”Tina grinned, leaning in like she was sharing state secrets. “You really
CHAPTER 186
The air shifted as Jack Sullivan walked toward the lower basin of Crystal Springs. It wasn’t the usual kind of heat or humidity. It carried weight—an invisible charge that made his skin prickle.He paused near a jagged rock wall, narrowing his eyes.Black diamond crystal, he thought.A rare mineral. Dense with elemental energy. Lethal in combat, priceless in martial cultivation.Only a few in the country even knew how to sense it, let alone use it.And Jack felt it pulsing below the surface like a heartbeat under lava.He also sensed movement.Not tourists.Fighters.Others like him. They were here for the same thing—and they weren’t here to relax.But before he could dig deeper—figuratively or literally—a familiar nasal voice cut through the air.“Hey! You again?”Brent Wyatt, Nancy Winter’s agent, stormed across the path with his stupid sunglasses on indoors and a clipboard that probably hadn’t seen real paperwork in years.Jack rolled his eyes. Not this guy again.“You’ve got some
CHAPTER 185
Jack Sullivan stood in the marble-tiled hallway of the Volcano Crest Resort, watching Rachel Young and her overly lip-glossed friend Tina Yale scroll through their phones like they were auditioning for who could ignore him faster.When Jack casually mentioned he knew Nancy Winter, Tina burst out laughing.“Please,” she said, waving her French-manicured fingers in the air. “You? Know Nancy Winter? That’s like a squirrel saying it dated an eagle.”Jack raised an eyebrow. “We grew up together.”Tina smirked. “Yeah? And I once dated Superman. We all have our fairy tales.”Rachel, standing off to the side, looked at Jack with a raised brow, her voice cautious. “Wait, are you serious? Nancy Nancy?”Jack shrugged. “You don’t have to believe me.”Tina scoffed and crossed her arms. “Good. Because we don’t. You’re clearly trying to sound impressive just because we’re here for an audition. What’s next? You’ll say you’re the executive producer’s secret twin?”Jack gave a half-smile. “If that woul
