“Faith… I missed you so much.”

Christopher pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly—far tighter than he ever held anything in this world.

For a moment, the man who stood at the peak of power, the one feared across continents, the king who had faced armies without blinking…

Was nothing more than a father.

His breathing slowed against her shoulder, but deep within—

The storm had never stopped.

During those three days, he had not shown it.

Not once.

His face had remained calm.

    Thorne stepped forward and bowed slightly as he answered respectfully, “Boss.” Sebastian looked at him calmly and said, “You will accompany Ronan to Gravemonth City and make sure he remains safe throughout the journey.” Thorne nodded without hesitation and replied, “Yes, Boss.” Sebastian then turned his attention to Ronan, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said, “With Thorne protecting you, you have nothing to worry about. Once you complete this mission, I will appoint you as the Vice Leader of the Iron Serpent.” Hearing this, Ronan was filled with excitement and quickly responded, “Thank you, Boss!” Although he was the young master of the Iron Serpent, his authority within the organization had always been limited. If he became the Vice Leader, his status would rise above everyone else, second only to the leader himself. Meanwhile, Darius stood at the side, completely stunned. As the current leader of the Iron Serpent, he had not even spoken, yet Sebastian had alread

    Christopher looked young. Too young, in fact. His clothes were simple, no brand, nothing special. But the moment you looked at him closely, you would feel something different. There was a quiet authority around him, something that made people unconsciously lower their guard and show respect. It was not loud. But it was heavy. Christopher lifted his gaze and looked at Victor Halberg calmly. “Mr. Halberg,” he said, his tone steady, “what brings you here?” Halberg did not hesitate. “The Verdant Crown Group… needs your help, Mr. Howe.” “Oh?” Christopher’s expression did not change at all. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. At that moment, Gideon quickly stepped in to explain. “Mr. Howe, the Ashen Fang Alliance is hosting this martial arts competition to gather all the underground forces in Raveholt City. Once they succeed, their first targets will be the six major enterprises.” Christopher’s eyes narrowed slightly. Now he understood. The six majo

    Anna looked at him with curiosity and asked, “A trip? Where are we going?” Christopher answered calmly, “To Raveholt City.” “Raveholt City?” Anna’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement. “That sounds nice. It’s been a long time since I travelled that far.” Christopher smiled faintly. “Since you like it, we will leave in seven days.” Anna nodded happily, her mood instantly lifted. “Now that C&A Group has stabilized in Gravemonth City, our next step is Raveholt City. This trip will also help us understand the market there better.” Christopher did not say much, he only smiled, but deep inside, he had other plans. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Christopher and Anna boarded a first-class flight and headed straight to Raveholt City. At the same time, the entire city was already becoming lively and tense. Martial artists, assassins, and gang members from different places had all gathered there because of one thing — the martial arts competition hosted by the As

    “Impossible…” Needle muttered in disbelief. Christopher looked like he wasn’t even thirty yet, so how could he have such terrifying strength? No matter how much he tried, Needle just couldn’t accept it. “AHHH!” Needle suddenly roared like he had gone mad. His eyes turned bloodshot, and blood started flowing from his nose and mouth. He didn’t care about the pain anymore. He pushed his body beyond its limit, forcing out every last bit of strength he had just to increase his power for this final strike. Boom! Their attacks finally collided with a loud explosion. The impact shook the ground and sent dust flying everywhere. After the clash, the two of them crossed past each other. Then everything went still. The air froze. The sound disappeared. Even the wind seemed to stop moving. One second passed. Then two. Then three. Christopher and Needle stood there without moving. After a while, a look of horror slowly appeared on Needle’s face. Blood began to trickle down from the corne

    “Faith… I missed you so much.” Christopher pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly—far tighter than he ever held anything in this world. For a moment, the man who stood at the peak of power, the one feared across continents, the king who had faced armies without blinking… Was nothing more than a father. His breathing slowed against her shoulder, but deep within— The storm had never stopped. During those three days, he had not shown it. Not once. His face had remained calm. His voice steady. His commands absolute. But only he knew— How many times his thoughts had drifted into darkness. How many times he had imagined the worst… and crushed those thoughts with sheer will. He could face ten thousand enemies without fear. But when it came to his daughter— Even the smallest uncertainty… Was enough to shake him. “Daddy…” Faith’s soft voice pulled him back. She blinked her large, bright eyes, her expression turning slightly pitiful as she lowered her

    Faith continued to stare at Needle with her wide, observant eyes.There was something about this “uncle”… something different.He wasn’t like the bad people she had imagined.He was cold, yes—but not cruel. Not chaotic.It was as if… he was carrying something heavy inside him.Something she couldn’t quite understand.But she didn’t ask again.She simply watched.And waited.Three days passed in the blink of an eye.At the Cloud9 Villa—The atmosphere was suffocating.Heavy. Silent. Oppressive.Christopher stood before the mirror, adjusting his attire with calm precision. Every movement was steady, controlled… but beneath that calm exterior lay a storm capable of tearing the world apart.Behind him—Anna stood quietly.Her eyes were swollen and red, her face pale from days of sleepless nights and endless tears. The moment she looked at him, her composure shattered once more.“Honey…” Her voice trembled, fragile and broken. “You have to bring Faith back… please…”Her hands clenched tigh
