Right inside the great Orion Family Estate, a large number of people gathered in silence for the burial of Marvin Richmond.

The sky was cloudy. The wind was gentle, yet it carried the weight of sorrow.

Flowers were laid everywhere. Men in black suits stood quietly around. A white canopy covered the sitting area. Some people wore black, others deep blue, but everyone’s face showed pain.

Inside the mansion, in a special hall designed for mourning, Stella Orion stood beside a long coffin.

It was made of dark brown wood, polished until it shined. But it was not the beauty of the coffin that held her attention—it was who lay inside.

Marvin.

Her Marvin.

Stella was on her knees, her hands were trembling as they rested on the edge of the coffin.

Tears ran freely down her cheeks. Her eyes were red. Her nose was blocked from crying too much. She looked down at his peaceful face. He looked like he was only sleeping.

But he wasn’t.

He was gone.

“No… no…” she whispered, shaking her head slowl

  • THE SUPPRESSOR THAT DIDN'T SUPPRESS

    The enforcer closest to the van tapped the side of his helmet. “Visual locked. Possible kinetic synapticore user. Direction—east quadrant.”The second enforcer stepped forward, scanning with a long-barreled rifle. The lens on top adjusted with a quiet click-click-click, reading heat signatures.Jayden held his breath.He had to stay perfectly still.Any heat spike, any movement—and they’d lock on.They began to split up.One circled to the left, toward the flower beds and seating areas.The other remained near the vans, scanning the rooftops, the benches, everything.Jayden watched from behind the bench, calculating.He had maybe ten seconds before they reached his hiding spot.Ten seconds to disappear.Ten seconds to think of his next move.The glass from the van crunched under the boots of the enforcer checking the damage. “Target was precise. Controlled. No visible origin point. Could be cloaked.”Jayden cursed silently.They thought he was more advanced than he really was.That wa

  • BLUE GLOW AND BLACK ARMOUR

    Jayden’s mind was racing. His body was still sore from what he had just felt. But something else was bothering him now—something big.The suppressor unit.It was placed right in front of Judge Hayes during the trial. That device was made by Nexus—the strongest human-run organization left in Westwood. Its job was simple: to block powers. No psychic energy, no synapticore, no mind-reading, nothing. As long as it was working, no one—not even someone as strong as Vincent—should’ve been able to affect the judge’s mind.And yet… she was clearly compromised.Jayden’s jaw tightened.Either the suppressor was broken…Or someone had turned it off.Either way, he needed answers.His eyes darted around the courtroom, scanning for the Nexus enforcers.They were supposed to be here. Five of them. Always assigned to legal trials involving powerful beings. Always in black gear, always carrying their special weapons—guns that could knock out any powered person for five minutes with one hit. Long en

  • TOUCHED BY CHAOS

    Jayden stayed seated, his body was still, but his mind was storming. He couldn’t believe what just happened. Carl had been defeated—right in front of everyone. All the evidence, all the truth, and still… they lost.Across the room, Vincent Arceneaux stood, calm and smooth like always. He adjusted his suit, buttoned the jacket, then turned with an elegant step toward the judge’s bench.Jayden’s eyes followed him sharply.Then it happened.Vincent walked up and extended his hand to Judge Hayes.A handshake?Why?Why would a man who just won a court case need to shake hands with the judge?Jayden leaned forward slightly, eyes narrowing.Judge Hayes didn’t hesitate. She stood and shook Vincent’s hand with a nod and a faint smile.To most people, it would look normal. Just a polite gesture between two professionals. But to Jayden, something about that handshake didn’t sit right.It wasn’t normal.It wasn’t right.Something else was going on.A strange tingling sensation ran down Jayden’s

  • THE VERDICT NO ONE EXPECTED

    "Yes," Carl said, his voice was steady but laced with frustration. "We had been working with Oceanic Freight for months. Oceanic Freight was the name of the shipping company they initially signed with in order to transport their goods."The Sea Serpent which was the ship we used was exclusively contracted to transport a critical shipment of Bowen Industries, my company goods—valued at thirty million dollars. We had the documentation. Bills of lading. Cargo manifests. Every single item listed under the Bowen family name."Ms. Eleanor Vance, Carl's lead attorney, stood beside him. "And what happened when the ship docked?" She asked.Carl clenched his jaw. "Our cargo wasn’t alone. Somehow, Arceneaux family's goods were on the ship too—mixed with ours. Then their reps showed up and claimed that half our shipment was theirs. Just like that.""You believe this was planned?" she asked, though her voice made it clear she already knew the answer."Absolutely. Vincent Arceneaux’s people were r

  • CROSSFIRE IN THE COURTROOM

    The next few days were a blur of frantic phone calls and tense meetings. Jayden found himself drawn deeper into Carl’s nightmare, just as he had been with Project Revenant. Carl’s legal team, led by a sharp, older lawyer named Ms. Eleanor Vance, worked tirelessly. But the more they dug, the more complicated things seemed. Arceneaux had covered his tracks well, or so it seemed."He's claiming he bought the contract from a third party," Ms. Vance explained to Jayden and Carl during a late-night video call. Her face was tired, but her eyes held a spark of determination. "A shell company, untraceable. He says he had no idea it was originally yours. It's a classic move: plausible deniability.""Plausible deniability?" Carl scoffed, running a hand through his hair. "It's a lie! He knew exactly what he was doing. Turns out, he's been trying to get his hands on that shipping route for months!""We know that, Mr. Bowen," Ms. Vance said calmly. "But proving it in court is another matter. We

  • BACK INTO THE FIRE

    He remembered Carl’s plea: "Please, do not turn your back on us now." Project Revenant. That had been a nightmare, a global conspiracy that could have brought down not just the Bowens, but countless other innocent people. Jayden had put his life on the line, had used every ounce of his skill and intelligence to dismantle that threat. And he had succeeded. The Bowens, a family known for their integrity and strength, had been caught in the crosshairs, and Jayden had pulled them out.Now, it felt like Arceneaux was a new manifestation of the same old darkness, a persistent evil that clung to their lives. And Carl, his friend, was asking for help again. How could he refuse? How could he stand by while Arceneaux, a man he now despised, continued to wreak havoc?"Carl, listen to me," Jayden said, his voice firming, the worry was replaced by a steely resolve. "He is absolutely going too far. This isn't just about the money anymore. This is about principle. About stopping him before he hu
