Chapter 316
The next morning, sunlight splashed through the cracked windows as Alex unlocked the door to his clinic.His eyes narrowed sharply at the sight—a battered, bloodied figure sprawled unconscious at his doorstep.Alex's pulse quickened as he knelt beside the man, turning him over gently, only to stare in disbelief."Jaxon Creed?" Alex muttered, astonishment darkening his features. "What the hell happened to you?"He studied the bruised face, swollen and marred with fresh wounds.Jaxon Creed, the top knight from Chicago—this was no ordinary beatdown.With cautious strength, Alex hoisted Jaxon over his shoulder and carried him carefully inside, laying him on the examination bed.As Alex assessed the injuries, his trained eyes hardened—gunshot wounds, shattered bones, nerve damage so severe it made his stomach twist.Whoever did this wanted Jaxon crippled for life or dead.Alex drew a deep breath, determination steadying his hands. Healing this man would take time, but he trusted his skills

Alex sat on the very edge of the rooftop, legs dangling over the ledge, a half-empty glass of wine resting in his hand.Alone, high above the sleeping city, he was lost in his thoughts as the night wrapped around him.The moon hung low, casting silvery shadows that danced across the concrete beside him.Far below, the homeless huddled around small fires, their laughter and chatter drifting faintly upward.Even with their hardships, they seemed content, savoring simple moments together.Yet Alex stood isolated, tormented by indecision.Life seemed straightforward enough—people ran from pain and chased after happiness.But when wounds reopened again and again, each scar dug deeper into the heart, turning memories into haunting nightmares.He sighed deeply.Could there really be happiness with Sophia Lancaster?He used to believe so. But every time he reached for her, he came away more battered, more broken.Just when he found the strength to walk away, she’d whisper a promise of happine
Chapter 314
After the fierce chaos of the battle subsided, Alex returned to the clinic just as midnight's shadows stretched across the small building, yet its lights blazed like a beacon against the dark.Pushing through the door, Alex caught sight of Sophia Lancaster.For once, her usual icy demeanor melted into warm laughter as she chatted comfortably with Josephine.It was an odd sight, unsettling yet fascinating.Josephine noticed him first and rose swiftly, her face lighting up warmly. "Alex, you're back! Let me fix you some supper—""Thanks, but I already ate," Alex replied with a faint smile.His gaze shifted cautiously toward Sophia, his stance immediately guarded as if expecting an ambush.Sophia caught the sudden change in his expression and frowned deeply."Why the cold stare, Alex? You're warm as sunshine when you look at Josephine, but with me, you act like I'm about to bite. That actually stings."Alex stared at her, utterly confused.Had she hit her head? This woman, who usually gl

The arena fell deathly silent. Jaxon knelt in the dusty center, head bowed like a penitent sinner.He finally lifted his gaze, jaw tight with reluctant respect.“You're one hell of a fighter,” he growled, voice rough with pride and defeat. “I yield.”“What the hell did he say?” gasped someone from the audience.Murmurs exploded around the arena like wildfire, disbelief sparking through the crowd.“He hasn't even thrown a punch! He walked to the arena just to kneel? Did the Kingstons pay him off?”Zane surged to his feet, eyes blazing with fury.“What kind of cowardly shit is this, Jax? A Chicago Lord never bows down! Kill the damn janitor now!”“Shut your mouth, Zane!” Jaxon snapped back fiercely, eyes ablaze.“There's honor in knowing when you're beaten. He's the real deal. If he’d wanted, I’d be lying dead in the dirt right now.”The crowd froze, trying to decipher the bitter truth hidden in Jaxon’s eyes.Zane’s face twisted in rage.“Bullshit! You didn’t even fight him! Are you ser

“What the hell just happened? Is the fight already over?”Stunned silence rippled through the crowd as every eye fixed on Chicago’s elite fighter, sprawled motionless on the ground—unconscious or asleep, no one could say for sure.Disbelief ricocheted among the spectators.Everyone had assumed the janitor stood no chance, yet the battle had ended in a shocking twist. Even stranger, the janitor had merely suggested his opponent sleep—and now the man lay flat, utterly defenseless.“Impossible!” Byson exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief. “Did that nobody actually win?”“No way!” Clara spat bitterly. “He must have cheated! How else could he drop Chicago best without lifting a finger?”“Can anyone explain what just happened?” Zane growled, confusion etched across his face.“Our top four crumbled after just one speech!”“What kind of trickery had the janitor employed?”“He’s more dangerous than he looks,” Jaxon murmured, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. Even his keen gaze had failed to catc
Chapter 311
The referee's voice sliced sharply through the tense air, holding up an official-looking paper."We've received an update," he declared, eyes cold and detached."Miss Kelly Kingston has officially taken citizenship and the governor's role in Vermont. According to our rules, she can't represent Vancouver in this sacred duel between states. Therefore, Kelly Kingston is disqualified!"A stunned hush swallowed the arena, quickly replaced by angry murmurs and gasps of disbelief."Kingstons," the referee continued, savoring the drama, "you've got two fights left to turn this around. Choose wisely. Your next fighter must step into the ring in ten minutes—or you lose by default."Before Jasmine could utter a word, a tall, arrogant figure swaggered from the Chicago side, armored gauntlet gleaming menacingly.He sneered openly at the Vancouver corner, raising his voice mockingly, "Hey, Vancouver! Where’s your courage now? Step up if you've got the guts, or run home with your tails tucked betwee
