Chapter 22 – The Night That Watches
At the underground headquarters of the Sanborn Clan, tension thickened the air like smoke. Richard Sanborn sat on a massive leather chair, his expression calm yet seething with fury. Around him, his men kept their heads lowered, waiting for the storm to break.“Why hasn’t there been any news?” Richard’s voice was deep and sharp. “My son is crippled—and you still haven’t found that boy and his friends?”One of his men, pale and trembling, lifted his head only to bow again. “Forgive us, Master. Their phones are deactivated. All traces are gone.”Richard’s fist slammed onto the table. “Then contact Sinagar Permana. Tell him to take the girl—Adrianna Vale. Lure the boy out. And don’t you dare come back without that item.”“Yes, Master,” the man stammered, rising quickly and hurrying out of the room.He reached the secure line, dialing a number known only to Sanborn’s inner circle. On the other end, a rough voice answered—Jonah Kade, the field commander running their suburban operations.“
Chapter 21 – From Shadows to Salvation
After speaking with her father, Adrianna Vale decided to head to campus. The morning sun glinted off her residence’s marble floors as she adjusted her bag, her mind still lingering on the brief conversation with her father.“Do you want to come with me to campus?” Raymond Xavier asked, glancing at Adrianna, Bella, and Anita.“Hmmm… I don’t think so, darling. We’re planning to shop at Crimson Plaza,” Adrianna replied softly, followed by nods from Anita and Bella. Their eyes sparkled mischievously, a contrast to Raymond’s calm demeanor.“Alright, then I’ll go ahead,” Raymond said, smiling warmly.Anita stepped closer, followed by Adrianna and Bella, their hands brushing against Raymond’s as they leaned in. One by one, they kissed him on the lips, a tender but playful ritual that had become their signature.“Be careful, darling. Don’t make any of the female students swoon, okay?” Anita warned with mock seriousness.“I can’t promise that,” Raymond chuckled, the corners of his eyes crinkli
Chapter 20 – Journey to the Alexander Residence
After finishing breakfast together, Andrea, Anita, Bella, Simon, Evan, and Raymond prepared to escort Andrea home, as she planned to visit her father.Suddenly, Raymond’s phone vibrated. It was a call from an unknown number.“Hello,” Raymond answered calmly.“Good morning, Mr. Raymond. Sorry to bother you. This is Fernando, Director of Liam Hospitals Group. I wanted to inform you when you could come to the hospital to sign the ownership transfer documents,” Fernando said politely.“I’ll be there at 1:00 PM, Mr. Fernando,” Raymond replied casually.“Very well, Mr. Raymond. We’ll be expecting you,” Fernando responded.“Alright,” Raymond hung up.Andrea, curious about the conversation, asked, “Who was that, dear?”“The Director of Liam Hospitals Group,” Raymond replied.“Is someone sick?” Andrea inquired.“No, they just requested my presence,” Raymond explained. “Oh, by the way, about VBTU, when can I come to the campus to sign the stock transfer documents?”“I will arrive around 11:00 A
Chapter 19 – The Return of the Valemont Phantom
The black car came to a stop right in front of Valemont Mansion 1. Raymond Xavier, Simon Yates, and several Alexander family bodyguards stepped out. The night air was crisp, yet the mansion’s grounds seemed heated, thick with tension left over from last night’s club incident.Raymond led the way, followed by Andrea Alexander, Bella Grey, Anita Cole, and Lucas Ward. Simon held a tablet, scanning a quick security report.“Simon… did you forget something?” Raymond asked softly, his tone teasing.Simon frowned. “I don’t think so, Boss… not that I remember.”Raymond’s eyes narrowed, then a chuckle escaped him. “The target.”Simon slapped his forehead in embarrassment. “Ah, right! Sorry, Boss. What should we do with him?”“Take him to the basement. I’ll be waiting there.”Simon nodded toward Lucas. “Come on, help me carry him.”Together, they went back to the car to fetch the target—a man now completely powerless in the trunk.Raymond exhaled, then glanced at the three women standing before
Chapter 18 – Battle at the Crimson Club
The rhythm of the night pulsed through the heart of Valemont City, where the neon lights from the Crimson District flickered like warning signals in the mist. From the outside, the Crimson Club looked like any other luxurious nightclub—red velvet walls, golden lamps, and the faint scent of expensive liquor. But for those who knew, it was something else entirely—a battleground behind the façade of glamor.Inside, Raymond Xavier moved like a shadow through the crowded dance floor. The bass thumped hard enough to shake the glasses, bodies pressed against one another, and laughter echoed, covering the darker whispers hidden beneath the music. His eyes, sharp and cold, scanned every corner from behind the dark glass of his drink.He wasn’t here for pleasure. Not tonight.Raymond’s target was clear—the private VVIP Lounge on the second floor. That’s where Dorian Cartello, son of the infamous underworld figure Sanjay Cartello, usually held court with his entourage.“System,” Raymond muttered
Chapter 17 – Test of Strength
Ray now stood at the back of the mansion, flanked by Simon, Ethan, Anita, and Bella. He was determined to test the combat abilities of the former intelligence agents.“I want all of you to fight me with full power. No holding back, no pity,” Ray said firmly, facing them.“All right, if that’s what you want. But be prepared to end up in the hospital,” Simon replied with a sly smile.“Come at me, all four of you. Don’t be afraid to send me to the hospital—or even to the grave,” Ray said casually.“I alone am enough to take you on. Don’t underestimate me, kid,” Simon countered.“Fine then. Come on, attack me!” Ray challenged.“All right, don’t regret it,” Simon said, launching an attack with incredible speed.Swush! Bugh! Bugh!Simon unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks. Ray calmly blocked them, then struck back toward Simon’s stomach, sending him flying backward.Brakkk!“You’re good. You can
