Luxury Bar in Downtown – 10:03 PMThe crystal chandelier cast a soft glow across the exclusive room. Gentle jazz music flowed from the corner, blending with the sound of clinking glasses and small, triumphant laughter.In the middle of the luxurious lounge, the Laurent family sat around a round table. Hector wore an elegant gray suit, leaning back casually with a lit cigarette between his fingers. Beside him, Mariana sipped her cocktail while admiring her freshly painted nails. Grace looked unusually calm, and even Agatha—tonight—smiled more often than usual.At the center of the table, a half-empty bottle of expensive wine marked how successful the night felt to them."Are you sure he's going to die?" Grace asked, glancing at Hector. Her voice was soft, but laced with hope.Hector grinned. “Pale Raven never fails. If he says ‘no need to worry’... then Kael is already history.”Mariana scoffed. “Finally, we’re free of that disgusting parasite. He’s clung to us like a leech for far too

At this point, Kael let out a long sigh before finally saying, “If Evelyne sees the room this messy, she’s going to be pissed. I’ll need Vale’s help again for this.”He picked up the phone near his bed and immediately called Grand Elder Vale.The ringtone barely rang once before a deep, respectful voice answered."Is there anything I can help you with, Your Excellency, Lord of the Sky Dragon Sect?""Vale... I need your help again," Kael said softly, eyes scanning the blood trail that had nearly reached his feet. "I need a cleanup. Right now, at the Laurent family mansion."There was a brief pause on the other end, followed by a quick question. “Priority level?”“Gold. East-side window, third floor of the Laurent mansion—square teakwood frame. As for the glass... hmm, I’ll just send you a photo to make it easier. Wall color: silver-gray, slightly glossy, height four meters. There's a wide crack from the impact, about a meter up from the floor.”Kael turned toward the corner of the room

Pale Raven didn’t respond. But his eyes narrowed slightly. There was a strange pressure in the air—like he was the one being judged.Kael stood up. His posture was firm, and his expression had turned completely serious. There was no trace of the “useless son-in-law” in his eyes. What now stood before Raven was someone entirely different from what Hector had described."Everyone wants me dead, but only a few are dumb enough to try it directly. And just so you know, none of them survived," Kael said mockingly.In the next moment, the room seemed colder. Not because of any spell—but because of presence, dominance, the raw aura of a man who had always been treated like trash.That was when Pale Raven realized one terrifying truth: Kael might be the toughest opponent he’d ever faced in his entire career.He stayed silent. His mind began recalculating. The original plan—faking a suicide note, maybe even forcing Kael to write one—was impossible now.This man... wasn’t someone who could be ta

Bella’s breath came in short gasps, her body still trembling beneath the thin sheet that barely covered her. The dim lights above her hung like artificial stars, and the night breeze slipping through the open window carried a soft chill that only made the sweat on her skin feel more real.She lay on the edge of the bed, her hair fanned out across a dark grey satin pillow. Vincent sat at the side of the bed, his back to her, showing only his broad shoulders and an unwavering posture that looked like it had never bowed to anyone. He hadn’t said a word since.He just stared at the large window facing the city, his expression unreadable.With her eyes half-closed and a faint smile still lingering on her lips, Bella reached out and leaned softly against his back.“I feel like I was just born again,” she whispered.No response.She let out a light laugh—soft, like someone who had just won a long battle. “Thank you… for choosing me.”Still nothing. Just silence, growing thicker by the second

The night sky hung quietly over the city, scattered with the twinkling lights of skyscrapers. Among all those majestic buildings, only one towered above the rest with unmistakable arrogance: Albrecht Tower. Its glass façade reflected the night in dazzling luxury, like a crystal palace from the future.A sleek coupe rolled to a stop at the main entrance. From inside, Bella Laurent stepped out gracefully. Her black velvet dress hugged her figure just right—elegant without trying too hard—while a pair of small diamond earrings caught the light with every subtle movement.The lobby staff bowed without a word, and within seconds, Bella was being whisked up in a private elevator—straight to the 51st floor.The elevator doors opened with a soft whoosh. Before her stretched a quiet corridor, lined with gray carpeting and lit by minimalist pendant lights. At the far end stood two men in black suits with earpieces—no greetings, just a quick facial scan before the doors behind them slid open aut
Chapter 043
It was one in the afternoon when soft sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of Bella Laurent’s bedroom. She sat leisurely on a velvet couch by the window, wearing a light beige lounge dress, idly swirling a glass of infused water she hadn’t even touched.On her lap, a tablet displayed the latest handbag catalog from a foreign fashion house, but her thoughts were elsewhere. Last night—the dinner where Vincent Albrecht’s gaze had briefly locked with hers. Just for a second… but enough to make her heart pound like crazy.“He definitely saw me,” she whispered.As if in response to her thoughts, her phone buzzed on the small side table. A notification from an exclusive app called LionLine—a secure messaging platform used only by the ultra-elite.Bella froze. Notifications from that app were rare. When she reached for her phone and opened the message, her eyes widened in disbelief.Sender: Vincent AlbrechtTime: 13:02The message was short—but enough to throw her heartbeat into chaos
