One of the men stepped forward and asked respectfully, “Mr. Kane, the Obsidian Tide and the Silver Vulture are attacking fiercely. What should we do now?”Darius snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.“We’ll meet force with force. Do you think a few reckless fools can shake the Iron Serpent?” he said arrogantly.The Iron Serpent had ruled Gravemonth City for over a hundred years. Its influence ran deep throughout the city—within businesses, officials, and the underground world. To Darius, the sudden aggression of the Obsidian Tide and Silver Vulture was nothing more than an impulsive challenge.Even if the two forces joined hands, destroying the Iron Serpent would not be easy.His face hardened.“Issue my order. From this moment on, raise the Iron Serpent’s security to the highest level. Every property, every territory, every stronghold must be guarded!”“Yes, Mr. Kane!” the woman replied immediately before hurrying away to carry out the orders.The man beside Darius hesitated
Chapter 107
“Farewell, Mr. Howe!”Gideon Ashford, leader of the Obsidian Tide, along with the chairmen of the three powerful conglomerate families, bent their backs respectfully as Christopher and Anna walked away.Not a single person dared to stop them.Christopher didn’t even glance back. Holding Anna’s hand, he calmly walked out of the grand hall as if nothing significant had happened.The heavy doors slowly closed behind them.For a moment, the entire venue was silent.Then Gideon Ashford straightened his back and turned toward Darius.His expression was icy cold.“From this moment onward,” Gideon said slowly, his voice echoing across the hall, “the Obsidian Tide will launch a full-scale attack on the Iron Serpent.”His declaration fell like a thunderbolt.Without waiting for Darius to respond, Gideon turned around.“Let’s go.”Hundreds of Obsidian Tide members followed him out of the hotel in disciplined formation, their presence radiating hostility.Before long, only the corporate chairmen
Chapter 106
The Round Table.In the underground world, the name alone was enough to silence arguments and end blood feuds.No one knew where it originated. No one knew how it was structured. All anyone knew was this—At its peak sat a single figure.King Howe.And anyone who crossed the Round Table met only one ending.Death.Even the Obsidian Tide, with its vast overseas networks and hardened mercenaries, was insignificant compared to that shadow empire.There were countless rumors about King Howe.Some said he could dismantle a global syndicate in a single night.Others claimed he controlled invisible financial currents that could bankrupt nations.Many insisted he was an unparalleled martial expert.But none of it could be confirmed.Because no one had ever seen him.Or rather—No one who recognized him lived long enough to speak about it.When Gideon Ashford received the directive from King Howe to return to Gravemonth City, he had known his opportunity had arrived. The Obsidian Tide had wait

The entire grand hall felt as if it had been struck by lightning. No one spoke. No one even dared to breathe too loudly. What on earth was happening? Even Darius stood frozen, his mind in chaos. The Obsidian Tide… the Silver Vulture… the Vale, Arden, and Montclair families… all kneeling before Christopher? What had he missed? “Dad, what’s going on?” Kael’s voice trembled as he hurried over with Lucian, both still pale from earlier events. Before either of them could process the scene— Smack! Smack! Two crisp slaps echoed across the hall. Magnus Calder’s palm struck Kael across the face without hesitation. Adrian Voss did the same to Lucian. The force of the blows sent both young men staggering. “Kneel!” Magnus barked coldly. “Hurry and apologize to Mr. Howe!” Adrian’s voice carried an edge that allowed no resistance. Kael and Lucian exchanged a terrified glance. Their arrogance from earlier had vanished completely. In its place was raw fear. They dropped to their knee
Chapter 104
Every major power in Gravemonth City was present.The patriarch of the Valeza Group, the head of the Vale family, and the leaders of the Blackthorn Consortium, the Arden Syndicate, and the Montclair Holdings all stood among the elite crowd. Each of them controlled a slice of the city’s wealth and influence.To them, the situation was already decided.Christopher was finished.No matter how strong he was, no one could survive the wrath of the Iron Serpent on its own territory—especially not with every major family watching.Kael smirked coldly.Lucian folded his arms.The Vale patriarch shook his head slightly. “What a waste. The young are always too arrogant.”The Valeza chairman sighed. “He should have known where he was standing.”Even those who had secretly admired Christopher’s strength earlier now believed he had crossed an irreversible line.Then—Boom.The massive doors at the entrance of the grand hall swung open.The sound echoed through the entire venue.Heavy footsteps foll

“Get lost,” Christopher said coldly, his patience finally exhausted. “Or do you want me to slap you again?” The word again hit Ronan like a needle. His confidence flickered. He knew exactly what kind of man Christopher was—someone who acted first and dealt with consequences later. Status meant nothing to him. But Kael and Lucian were watching. The entire hall was watching. If he backed down now, he would never recover his dignity in Gravemonth City. “You better not—” Smack! The sound was sharp and explosive. Before Ronan could even finish speaking, Christopher’s palm struck his face with terrifying force. Bang! Ronan’s body spun sideways and crashed heavily onto the marble floor. The echo of the impact reverberated across the grand hall. Silence. Absolute silence. Glasses froze mid-air. Conversations died instantly. Hundreds of eyes widened in shock. The Iron Serpent’s young master… had just been slapped at his own father’s event. Ronan lay there for tw
