Chapter 301
Alex sat cross-legged in the dark silence, eyes shut tight, chasing calm.The piercing shriek of his phone shattered the stillness.He glanced over reluctantly, recognizing Sophia’s number flashing insistently on the screen.His stomach twisted; every conversation they'd had lately ended in bitter arguments. He decided to ignore it, letting the incessant ring echo through the room.But the phone wouldn't stop, vibrating angrily for five relentless minutes.With an aggravated sigh, he picked it up.“What the hell took you so long, asshole?” barked a voice clearly not Sophia’s—a rough, hostile voice dripping venom.Alex’s brow furrowed. "Who the hell is this?""Your worst goddamn nightmare," growled the stranger."Listen carefully. You’ve got something valuable—an ingredient for the elixir. Hand it over, or Sophia’s going to have the worst night of her life.""Charles?" Alex questioned, voice edged with suspicion, though the unfamiliar growl threw him off."I don’t know any Charles," sn

Alex stood silent and still, watching Ophelia weep inconsolably over David's motionless body.Suddenly, David's eyes fluttered open, startling everyone nearby. Gasps rippled through the stunned crowd, disbelief etched across every face."Impossible," a bewildered customer muttered. "I saw him take that bullet right in the chest!""David!" Ophelia’s voice trembled with hope and disbelief."Are you alright? Is this real?"David stared down, incredulous, pressing his hand against his chest.Blood stained his shirt, the fabric torn and wet, but beneath his fingertips, there was just a small wound.The bullet had pierced his clothes and skins but stopped short, leaving only a superficial injury."Am I...bulletproof?" David whispered, astonished.Across the room, Alex leaned casually against the table, his lips twisted into a subtle, knowing smirk.At the very instant Luther had fired his weapon, Alex had silently channeled his protective aura, wrapping David’s body in an unseen shield.Tho
Chapter 299
Luther stormed toward the place he'd agreed to meet his father, but what he saw there stopped him cold. David stood hand-in-hand with Ophelia, the sight burning fury deep into Luther's soul. Rage surged through him; this woman had stolen his father's heart, casting aside his mother as if she were nothing. As a son, his duty was clear: protect his mother from David's catastrophic betrayal."Father!" Luther's voice trembled with disbelief and anguish, eyes brimming with tears of frustration. "Did you seriously have Mom arrested?"David turned sharply, irritation flashing across his face. "What the hell are you doing here, Luther? Didn’t I tell you we’d talk tonight? Go home—now!""No! Tell me!" Luther shouted, his voice cracking with raw emotion. "Why did you lock her up?"David’s eyes narrowed, his voice icy and harsh. "Because your sainted mother cheated on me. She gave me HIV, Luther!""You're lying!" Luther shook violently, refusing to accept the accusation. "Mom would never betray y

"Father!" Luther spat the word like venom, eyes blazing with rage as they locked onto David."You dare raise your hand against me for this worthless woman?""Enough, Luther," David growled, his voice firm but burdened.Gently, he steadied Priscilla, helping her regain her balance. The conflict tore at him from within—Luther was the child he'd raised, blood or no blood, a son he’d cherished despite every betrayal his mother inflicted.David had vowed never to hold the sins of parents against their child.But now, faced with Luther's twisted fury, he felt his resolve wavering."You've never shouted at me," Luther hissed, a wounded animal snarling betrayal."Never raised your fist. But now, because of her, everything changes? Am I suddenly nothing to you?""Listen carefully," David said through gritted teeth, desperately fighting the storm inside him."There's much you don't understand yet. Just go home, cool off, and tonight I'll explain everything.""Fine," Luther snapped, his jaw tight
Chapter 297
Alex and Lyra stepped into a quaint café tucked behind an unassuming flower shop, distant from the bustling street.The air was fragrant with roses and coffee beans, peaceful yet oddly charged.Lyra cast a skeptical glance around. "Alex, seriously, why are we here?"Alex smirked as he flipped open the menu. "Trust me, Lyra. If my hunch is right, we're in for quite the spectacle."She raised a teasing eyebrow. "If you're paying, this might actually qualify as a date."He chuckled dryly. "Order whatever you want. Though, I'm still puzzled by your eagerness to spend money when you spend your days piling it up."Lyra grinned playfully. "Money's nice, but it doesn't beat watching you squirm when the check arrives."They exchanged laughter, enjoying the brief respite until Lyra suddenly leaned forward, eyes wide. "Wait—isn't that David?"Their corner seat shielded them from view, but offered a perfect line of sight.David strode in, scanning the small café urgently until his gaze landed on a
Chapter 296
David slumped onto the sofa, the weight of betrayal etched deeply into his aging face.The lines of despair were clear, reflecting a soul shattered beyond repair.Seventeen years he had cherished Luther, believing him to be flesh of his flesh.And now, the truth sliced through him like a cold blade—Luther wasn't his son.Lyra cautiously stepped closer, concern softening her voice. "David, do you want some time alone? We can come back later."“No,” David snapped, his voice dangerously calm, eyes flashing with a sinister fury.“I have to thank Alex personally for unveiling this nightmare.”He rose abruptly, bitterness seeping into every syllable.“Life’s a twisted joke. I’ve spent my whole existence doing good deeds, only to be repaid with HIV, a cheating wife, and now—the bitter irony—my beloved son isn’t even mine.”He drew a ragged breath, anguish heavy in his chest. All the wealth and power he’d accumulated, yet now he stood heirless, a broken king without a legacy.David reached for
