Chapter 108: A Door They Shouldn’t Open
For a few long seconds after Avery looked at her phone, and the entire breakfast table went dead quiet. It was impossible to miss— the way her eyes widened, the sharp intake of breath, and the way her hand physically jerked, nearly sending the expensive device clattering onto the marble.But Avery was fast. She locked the screen with a sharp click and flipped it face down on the table. She forced a small, shaky smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.“It’s nothing,” she said, her voice a little too quiet.No one said a word. They weren't stupid, they could all tell the mood had just crashed, but nobody wanted to be the one to push her. Instead, they all went back to their plates. The rest of the meal passed in a weird, heavy silence. Avery kept her head down, carefully cutting her food into tiny pieces, going through the motions of pretending everything was fine.The cheerful vibe from ten minutes ago was officially dead.Rose was the first one to finish. She set her napkin down nea
Chapter 107: The Champion’s Arrogance
Inside a private training complex on the other side of the city, a massive television screen took up an entire wall. Every major news channel was stuck on the same loop, the challenge against Robert.Tristan leaned back on a leather couch, one arm resting lazily on the headrest as he watched himself on screen. The footage showed him in the ring, championship belt shining, sounding like a god. "Robert… wherever you are, come fight me."As the clip ended, a slow, arrogant grin spread across Tristan’s face. “So… the whole world has seen it now,” he chuckled.His manager, standing nearby, gave a little nod. “We tried tracking him to send the challenge directly, but there’s still no confirmed location for the kid anywhere. It’s like he vanished.”Tristan waved a hand like he was swatting a fly. “Doesn't matter. If he couldn't hide before, he definitely can't hide now with the whole world looking for him.” He watched the commentators on TV mocking Robert and laughed. “Perfect.”He stretched
CHAPTER 106: The City Is Watching
By noon, the entire city was in chaos. It didn't matter what channel you turned on or what social media feed you scrolled through, everyone was talking about the exact same thing.The challenge.Inside a packed sports bar downtown, a giant screen replayed a footage. The camera stayed tight on Tristan as he stood in the center of a boxing ring, the heavy championship belt wrapped around his waist. He looked like he owned the world."Robert… wherever you are, come fight me," his voice boomed through the speakers. "If you’ve got any courage left, step into the ring and face me."As the video cut to black, the studio commentators in the broadcast booth immediately burst out laughing. One of them leaned back in his chair, shaking his head. “Robert? That kid? Seriously?”Another analyst nodded, looking at his notes. “Yeah, that Robert. The adopted orphan from the Emmett family.”A small, grainy photo of Robert from his school records flashed onto the screen. The host leaned forward, looking
Chapter 105: The Official Challenge
The morning sun shone through the massive glass walls of the Oasis suite, hitting the silk sheets and scattered pillows where Anna was still buried in a mountain of expensive bedding.Avery woke up slowly, that fuzzy disoriented feeling hitting her for a few seconds as she glanced around trying to recall where she was, before reality rushed back to her memory. The helicopter, the imperial design of the Graham Oasis, and then— like a cold splash of water— Tristan’s message.‘I’m the World Champion. Guys like him don’t last long in my world.’Avery let out a long, tired sigh and sat up. Beside her, Anna let out a muffled groan. “Five more minutes,” she mumbled into a pillow.Before Avery could even answer, the suite door clicked open. Robert walked in, already dressed in a black training outfit that looked simple but had that unmistakable custom made fit. He stopped a few steps in, his eyes moving between the two of them. He didn't say anything at first, but the vibe in the room shifte
CHAPTER 104: The Message
Avery pushed the door open slowly, and for a second, she just stood there. The room didn't even look like a bedroom, it looked like something ripped straight out of a royal palace.Anna was already inside, and she’d clearly been busy. In the few minutes since she’d run off, she had managed to poke her head into half the suite.One of the massive wardrobe doors was hanging open, showing off rows of elegant dresses and outfits that looked like they were tailored by hand. Another door was half open, leading to a dressing area that was honestly bigger than most hotel rooms Avery had ever seen.Anna ran her fingers across a polished gold table and just laughed. “This place is insane,” she muttered. She walked over to a tall mirror framed in delicate gold patterns and did a little turn, checking out the design. “I’m serious,” she said, shaking her head. “This is like something the Queen of England would sleep in.”The bed was the centerpiece— enormous, layered with silk sheets and more pill
CHAPTER 103: Rooms Fit for Royalty
Robert looked around at the group for a second. Anna was barely hanging on, leaning so hard against Avery that it looked like gravity had suddenly doubled for her. Professor Darby looked exhausted but still had that fascinated glint in his eyes, and Rose just had this quiet, wide eyed amazement that hadn't faded all night.Robert smiled. “Well,” he said calmly, “I think we’ve had enough excitement for one night.”Anna mumbled something that sounded like she was agreeing, but it might have just been sleep talking.Robert turned slightly toward the butler. “Please show Professor Darby to his room.”The butler gave a respectful nod. “Of course, sir.”Professor Darby adjusted his glasses and followed the butler down one of the long marble corridors. The lighting was softer here— warmer and a bit more private, like a hallway in a luxury hotel designed for heads of state. They stopped in front of a massive wooden door framed in dark gold designs, and the butler swung it open.Professor Da
