"What in blazes?" The entire Kane entourage sucked in their breath as one, shock rippling through the hall.

Vetala had drilled it into them on the ride over—no snarling, no threats, not a single cursed gesture toward the Lancasters, because those smug devils held Bella Kane’s only antidote.

Not a soul among them dared flash even a hint of hostility at a Lancaster.

Yet, braced to meet Lancaster arrogance head‑on, they instead found the proud clan already on their knees—a twist no prophecy had whispered.

"Kid, you’ve clearly got your wires crossed," Vetala muttered, his brows knitting in raw confusion.

He’d pictured every nightmare under the sun, but this scene had never once marched through his calculations.

"Ignore their circus," Alex rasped, too rattled to elaborate.

"Get Bella Kane in front of Sophia—now."

Alerted by Bella’s summons, Sophia had propped herself upright in her hospital bed—her wounds mended enough for her to sit or stand without trouble.

Meanwhile Vetala spared the La

    Alex could’ve killed the thugs without breaking a sweat, but he wasn’t here for them.He needed Mike, and there were still things he didn’t know. So instead of rising to the bait, he sat down on the floor, legs stretched out, calm as stone.The thugs glanced his way, sizing him up, then dismissed him.Their attention turned to Mike’s other companions—bodyguards, clients, whoever they were.Seven of them were forced to their knees. Alex stayed in the corner, silent, watching.The old man shifted his gaze to Mike, his lips curling into a cruel grin.“Hey, punk. Weren’t you acting real arrogant just now? Stealing my woman? Threatening to break my arms?”He tossed his baton to the floor in front of Mike. “Well, here’s your chance. Do it. Break my arm.”Mike forced a weak smile. “That was a misunderstanding. She caught my eye for a second and I forgot who she was with. I was stupid.”“How about this—I’ll cover all your expenses here tonight as an apology.”“Fuck you.” The man’s hand cracke

    “Shoot him!” Voices erupted, weapons raised in every direction.“Whoever kills him takes the money!”Dozens of guns swung toward Alex. But the moment bullets flew, chaos ripped through the crowd.“Stop shooting! You’re hitting your own men!” someone screamed—right before a stray bullet tore through his chest.Gunfire roared from every direction, bullets ripping into the wrong targets.Alex moved like a phantom, weaving through the storm.Every slash, every sidestep turned their fury back on themselves.Blades missed him and cut down allies. Bullets tore through bodies meant to be comrades.The more they fought, the more they destroyed each other.Men dropped where they stood, some clutching wounds, others falling lifeless with clean shots to the head.The scene spiraled into pure chaos—blood, screams, and friendly fire turning the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.From his vantage point, Charles watched in disbelief. To him, Alex wasn’t battling—he was toying with them.“Pathetic,” C

    The next morning, Alex sat watching the news, his eyes narrowing as the anchor reported on the unrest shaking Vinland State.Everyone was talking about Jose.They said he had changed after his son’s death and his wife’s injury.Now he was cleaning house, rooting out the corrupt officials who had been trying to undermine him.Speculation spread like wildfire.To answer Jose’s call, his old loyalists—men who once fought beside him in the rebellion that toppled the tyrant governor—were rising again.Vinland was witnessing a storm, Jose tightening his grip on power.“Alex! Alex—something happened!”Josephine’s voice rang out, sharp and urgent, as she rushed down the stairs.It was already noon, yet she was just now emerging from her room. She had never slept so late before.“What’s wrong?” Alex asked, his gut tightening.“There’s… something inside me.” She pointed at her stomach, her face pale with panic.Alex froze. “What do you mean, something inside? Are you pregnant?”“God, are you st

    The Chief of Police’s face drained of color.“No, I mean… yes. Yes, you dare to pull the trigger.”“No,” Jose exhaled slowly, almost tired. “I don’t dare to pull the trigger. Do you know why?”“I… I don’t know, Governor. Please, tell me.”“The last time I killed a man was during the rebellion, forty years ago. That man was the Governor before me. I swore to the people his blood would be the last I shed, so Vinland could finally know peace.”The Chief of Police nodded rapidly, desperate to cling to his words. “Yes, yes, Governor. You’re right. Killing is useless. Especially killing me—”“But I was wrong,” Jose cut him off, his voice low and heavy.“People whisper that I’m weak because I let the mockery slide. Because I don’t punish fools who act like I’m blind, like I’m some impotent governor sitting on a crumbling throne. And truthfully…”His eyes narrowed, his tone dropped to a growl. “I never cared about their little games.”But then Jose’s face twisted, rage boiling over. His hand

    Bernard F. Peterson was the Vice Governor of Vinland State.At fifty, he was still considered young for a politician, and his ambition burned hotter than ever—he wanted the Governor’s seat.But that dream never found its flame.Jose, the old but unshakable Governor, still held the people’s hearts.Every time Bernard tried to convince the public that Vinland needed a younger, stronger leader to carry it into a modern era of weapons and technology instead of clinging to outdated agriculture, the people ignored him.Only the restless younger generation listened.“William, you’d make a fine Governor,” Bernard told him again and again. “Your father is old. You should ask him to retire early.”He never missed a chance to feed William’s ambition, whispering poison into his ear, urging him toward the throne.But Bernard knew the truth—William was useless.Ambitious, yes, but stupid, a fool with no brains.That made William the perfect fool—a pawn Bernard could use to strike against his own fa

    Alex froze at Lucia’s fading voice.“Doctor!” he barked, shoving Josephine toward him. “Test her blood—now! Maybe we still have a chance!”The doctor’s brow furrowed, hesitation flickering in his eyes. “Are you certain?”“No,” Alex shot back. “But if they’re related, there’s hope. A miracle, maybe. Unless you’ve got something better to offer?”The doctor’s eyes flicked to Jose, trembling with tears, then to Lucia, already slipping into unconsciousness.Time was running out.A gamble, but one worth taking.“All right,” he said quickly, pulling Josephine toward the lab. “Better to try than do nothing.”Alex knelt beside Lucia, taking her frail hand in his.He poured his inner energy into her, helping her heart to hold on. Jose stood silent at her other side, tears streaming down his face, powerless.Minutes crawled by.Then the doors burst open—doctor and nurses rushing in, their faces glowing with relief.They shoved Alex aside like a storm and worked at lightning speed, pumping fresh
