Chapter 5: “Send Them a Message”
Location: Abandoned Meat Packing Plant – Outskirts of Xiang River 11:57 PM The place reeked of blood, rust, and rot. Aria Lin sat tied to a steel chair, a bloodied cloth gagging her mouth. Her mascara had run down her cheeks, and her expensive heels were gone. Her dress was torn at the shoulder from struggling. Ethan Xu stood just out of reach, sipping wine. "She's bait," he told the camera. "Let's see how long your husband keeps pretending he's untouchable, Ivy." Ivy—watching the feed from Jaxon’s SUV—was shaking. “He’s insane.” Jaxon didn’t answer. He was focused, emotionless. A Bluetooth device blinked in his ear. “Zhao,” he said into the mic, “status?” Commander Zhao’s voice came through: “Six hostiles on perimeter. Four inside. Two snipers on the rooftop. We’re synced.” Jaxon’s eyes glowed cold in the SUV’s dim lighting. “No mercy. Injure who you must. Kill who you have to.” Ivy looked at him. “You’re really going in alone?” He looked at her. “Not alone. Just first.” Then the car door opened, and he stepped out into the dark. — Inside the facility A goon with a mohawk lit a cigarette just outside the north entrance. He heard a rustle. “Hey,” he called, turning toward the crates. Nothing. He turned back—only to find a blade pressed against his throat. Jaxon didn’t say a word. He slit the man’s jugular and caught him before he could hit the ground. Comm silence maintained. He ghosted through the side corridors, one room at a time. Two more guards were playing cards in a side office. He tossed in a smoke canister. The door flew open. Thud. Thud. Both dropped without a scream. — Inside the torture room Ethan looked at his watch. “He’s late. Maybe he’s not as brave as his reputation says.” Then the lights flickered. Went out. Complete darkness. “Check the generator!” Ethan snapped. Two guards left the room. Seconds passed. A muffled scream. Then silence. Ethan backed away from Aria’s chair, pulling a pistol from his coat. “Turn the lights on now, or I’ll kill her!” The lights returned. And Jaxon stood in the center of the room. Covered in blood. Ethan froze. Aria sobbed through the gag. “I told you,” Jaxon said, walking forward, “you declared war. But you didn’t know who you were fighting.” Ethan fired. Jaxon ducked, slid across the floor, and flung a throwing knife into Ethan’s thigh. Ethan screamed. Jaxon lunged, grabbed his wrist, twisted—SNAP. The gun clattered to the floor. He slammed Ethan’s face into a steel beam. Once. Twice. Blood splattered across the floor. “You think you can threaten my wife?” Jaxon hissed, slamming him again. “You think you can touch my family?” Ethan fell to the ground, face shattered, teeth missing. Jaxon stood over him. “This is just the beginning,” he said. Then he looked at the last camera on the wall. “Let everyone watching know—this is what happens when you touch a dragon’s den.” He stepped back and nodded to Zhao, now standing in the doorway. “Burn it.” Zhao tossed a thermal charge into the corner. Jaxon grabbed Aria, cut the ropes, and swept her into his arms. As they exited through the back hallway, explosions erupted behind them. The entire warehouse went up in flames. — Back in the SUV Ivy sat in the back seat when the door opened and Jaxon climbed in with Aria, unconscious but breathing. “She’s safe,” he said. “Get her to a doctor. Quietly.” Ivy blinked at him. “You didn’t kill him?” Jaxon stared out the window, eyes cold. “No. I want him alive… for now. His real punishment hasn’t even begun.” Across the city, deep inside a surveillance room lit by dozens of screens… a woman in a white trench coat watched the entire rescue unfold. She smiled. “Ghost Monarch is active again,” she whispered. “Finally.” She turned to her assistant. “Send word to the Crimson League. The war’s back on.”

Blood Ties and Betrayal
Chapter 20 The air turned colder. The wind seemed to freeze as the man stepped from the armored vehicle, flanked by six men in white—Syndicate specialists. Their eyes were hidden behind black visors. Their guns were aimed. Their bodies, still. Waiting for his word. Jaxon stared at the man in the sleek black suit with the scar that ran from brow to cheek. His heartbeat slowed… then thundered again. “…Kieran.” The name left his lips like a curse. Lillian looked between them, stunned. “That’s your…?” “My older brother,” Jaxon said, voice like steel. “The one who died. Or so I thought.” Kieran smiled. “It’s been a long time, little dragon.” Five Years Ago – Black Sun Program Archive, Classified Memory Jaxon stood over a mountain of bodies, breath ragged. His
Kill The Ghost Monarch
Chapter 19 The Syndicate’s elite emerged from the smoke like wraiths. Twelve men in white tactical suits. No names. No insignias. Just death in human form. Their leader stepped forward — tall, angular face, piercing green eyes that didn’t blink. He wore no mask. Only a sleek earpiece and an expression carved from stone. "You’ve made too much noise, Jaxon Lin," he said coldly. "The Council is done waiting. Tonight, you die." Jaxon didn’t flinch. He rolled his shoulders slowly, blood dripping from his temple. His shirt was half-burnt. One boot torn. But his eyes? Still burning with dragon fire. "Send your best. Let’s see who dies first." The leader snapped his fingers. They attacked all at once. Two came from the left with curved daggers aimed for his throat. Another dove from above with a spinning heel kick.
The Dragon Breaks the Cage
Chapter 18: The Dragon Breaks the Cage BOOM! The steel vault door finally buckled under the force of the S.W.A.T. breaching charge. Smoke and gas spilled out as the elite team stormed in, their rifles raised, shouting commands. But inside the vault, what they found made them freeze. Jaxon Lin stood shirtless, bruised and blood-soaked, holding an unconscious Mira in his arms. His eyes met the lead officer’s. Sharp. Cold. Unforgiving. "You’re late," Jaxon said, walking out past them like a war god emerging from the smoke. Lillian stood at the hallway's edge. When she saw him, her breath caught. This was not the quiet, obedient man she married. This was someone else. Someone terrifying. "Jaxon—" But he walked past her without a word, laying Mira gently on a stretcher. The medics moved fast.
Death Has No Shadow
Chapter 17: Death Has No Shadow The blacked-out SUV screeched to a halt outside a dilapidated factory on the riverbank. It was 2:14 a.m. and the moon glared down like a watchful eye. The building was abandoned—at least, that’s what they wanted people to think. Jaxon Lin stepped out, dressed in tactical black. His shirt clung to his sculpted form, soaked slightly from the night mist, and a combat knife was strapped to his thigh. Twin pistols holstered on either side. He was no longer the weak, ridiculed son-in-law. Tonight, the Ghost Monarch returned. Inside the building, forty armed men waited. Red Fang had expected him. And that was fine. Because Jaxon had come to paint the walls with fear. He moved like a whisper through the side alley, disabling a sentry with a pressure point jab. No sound. The man dropped like dead weight. Jaxon dragged him into the shadows an
Blood Oath
Chapter 16: Blood Oath The rain poured like bullets from the heavens as Jaxon stood outside a run-down warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Inside, twelve heavily armed men waited — all mercenaries for hire. Each one ex-military. Ruthless. Efficient. Jaxon walked in with no backup, no hesitation. The first man raised his gun. "You lost, buddy?" Jaxon didn’t answer. His foot swept forward, striking the steel pipe leaning against the wall. It flew across the air — smashing straight into the man’s temple with a sickening crack. Bang! Bang! The others opened fire instantly. But Jaxon was gone — vanished like a shadow. He slid across the floor, ducking under gunfire, grabbing a table leg and flipping it into the air. It slammed against another man's knees, and Jaxon used the rebound to leap forward — elbow to jaw. Bone sh
The Flame Remember
Chapter 15: The Flame Remembers Location: Holding Site Delta – Lower Levels Fire licked the edges of the metal walls as alarms shrieked across the ruined corridors. Jaxon crouched low in front of Mira, shielding her with his body. Ivy stood just behind, gun drawn, scanning the shadows for movement. “I triggered something,” Mira said softly. Her voice was calm, too calm. “They’re coming.” “We know,” Jaxon replied, pressing his hand to the floor. “They dropped a whole hit squad.” “Not for me,” Mira whispered. “For you.” Over the comms, Zhao’s voice crackled in Jaxon’s ear. “Thirty hostiles inside the compound. Another twenty en route. You’ve got seven minutes before they seal the exits.” Jaxon stood. “We’re moving. Ivy—watch Mira. Mira, stay close to me.” Mira didn’t flinch, but when she followed, her bare feet left soot where they stepped. —
