Connor stepped closer to the bed, each step heavier than the last, as if the marble floor itself was pulling him back into the past he never escaped.

The faint sound of machines filled the room, but all Connor could hear was his own heartbeat growing louder. Steve Wood’s trembling hand remained stretched toward him, waiting.

Connor finally stopped beside the bed. His voice came out low and controlled.. “I’m here.”

The old man’s eyes softened at once. His lips trembled into a weak smile. “

  • FACE SLAP AT THE COMMAND CENTER

    “Guards are not allowed inside, Young Master.” Connor didn’t turn immediately. His gaze stayed fixed on the towering entrance ahead, his reflection sharp against the polished surface. Then, slowly, he shifted his eyes. Mr. Leonard had stepped closer, his tone respectful but decisive. Connor gave a small nod. “Understood.” Mr. Leonard turned to the two black-clad guards behind them. “You’ve done your job. You may stand down.” The guards exchanged a brief glance before bowing. “Yes, sir.” Without hesitation, they stepped back and retreated toward the parking area, their movements disciplined and silent. Connor continued forward. Mr. Leonard followed closely behind him. The ground beneath their shoes changed as they approached the main entrance. Smooth marble replaced the outdoor stone, reflecting light in clean, sharp lines. Within moments, they reached the revolving glass doors that marked the true entry point into CloudTech. Two security officers stood there, dressed in dar

  • THE WORLD COMMAND CENTER

    The morning over Glenwood Villa felt different, as if the air itself understood something big was about to begin. Connor stood by the large glass window in a perfectly tailored corporate suit, a sharp black design with a golden tie that reflected the soft morning light. A sleek suitcase rested beside him. His expression was calm, but his mind was already far ahead, reading movements, systems, and outcomes like a living map. Behind him, footsteps approached. A respectful knock followed. “Come in,” Connor said without turning. The door opened slowly, and Mr. Leonard stepped inside. He immediately bowed slightly, his tone respectful. “Good morning, Young Master.” Connor turned halfway. “You’re early.” Mr. Leonard nodded. “A message was delivered to me that you need my presence.” Connor adjusted his cuff lightly. “Yes. I want to go to CloudTech. The main command center of the Wood Group.” Mr. Leonard’s eyes widened just slightly before he recovered. “No problem, Yo

  • THE SECRET BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING

    The iPhone in Connor's hand lit up again, vibrating once against his palm before going still. A new message. Unknown sender. Connor’s eyes narrowed slightly as he unlocked it. The room around him stayed silent, the air heavy with the weight of what had already been said minutes ago. He read slowly, line by line. The message was cold. “We give you a 24-hours ultimatum to step down from The Wood Group. Refuse, and you will be brutally eliminated. We believe you have received our earlier message on the paper delivered to you. Do the needful for the sake of your life. This is your only chance.” The message ended abruptly. Connor exhaled once, slow and controlled. His grip tightened around the phone, then loosened. He didn’t look shaken. If anything, there was something calmer in him now. A certainty. He spoke quietly, almost to himself. “I'm not surprised.” He lifted his gaze slightly. “Conrad… Gavin.” A faint smile appeared on his lips. At that moment, his phone r

  • BLOOD FOR THE THRONE

    Connor leaned back in the chair, his fingers resting lightly on the armrest, his expression calm but unreadable. The room was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioning. The tension from moments ago still lingered in the air like a storm waiting to break. Minutes later, a knock came. “Enter,” Connor said without looking up. The door opened, and Mr. Davis stepped in with two guards behind him. Both men looked tense, their faces tight, their posture rigid. Mr. Davis bowed slightly. “Young Master… they wish to speak with you.” Connor’s eyes lifted slowly. “Speak.” The two guards stepped forward at once and bowed deeply. One of them swallowed hard before speaking. “Young Master… something terrible has happened.” Connor didn’t react. “Go on.” “The guards that took Conrad and Gavin earlier…” the man hesitated briefly, “…they were killed on the way.” A faint silence fell. Mr. Davis’s expression tightened, but Connor remained still. “We received the information from

  • THE FINAL RITE OF POWER

    Minutes later, the SUV rolled to a slow, controlled stop before Ravendale. Ravendale stood in one of Caesaria’s most secluded and coldest places, far from the island's noise. A thin mist drifted over the stone path leading to the massive Renaissance building. The building stood alone on a raised platform, carved from dark granite and veined with gold, its towering doors shaped with intricate dragon patterns that seemed alive under the cloudy sky. A guard stepped out quickly and opened the rear door, bowing deeply. “Welcome to Ravendale, Young Master.” Connor stepped down without a word. His polished shoes touched the cold stone, and he paused briefly, his eyes lifting toward the massive structure. The second guard joined silently, both men falling into step behind him. Ahead, the casket approached. Six men carried it with perfect coordination, their movements steady and precise. When they reached the entrance, they stopped as one, stepping aside in unison. Two other me

  • SUCCESSION WAR BEGINS

    The entire Holyfield Grand Cathedral froze the moment the voices echoed again through its sacred hall. “I said, who the hell are you?”The words were sharp, rude, and completely out of place in a ceremony meant for honor and mourning. Heads turned instantly toward the massive entrance. The atmosphere that had once been heavy with respect turned tense in seconds. Whispers spread across the crowd. “Who dares interrupt this?” someone murmured. Another voice followed, louder and angrier. “Yes! Who allowed strangers into this place?” At the entrance stood two men dressed in dark luxury suits, their faces hardened with arrogance and frustration. One of the dignitaries leaned toward another and whispered, “Isn’t that… Conrad and Gavin? The late Master Wood’s sons?” A second man replied quietly, “Stubborn sons that refused to change.” Security immediately moved in front of them, blocking their path. “This is a restricted ceremony. You are not permitted inside,” one of the gua
