Silence stretched so long it felt like time had frozen.Kael didn’t respond. He didn’t look at anyone. Even his breathing was calm—far too calm for someone who had just lost a relative—and worse, had just been played.He stood there like a lifeless statue. Yet the air around him was thick, suffocating.Thorne glanced at his watch, then looked at Vincent as if to ask—are we going to do something? But Vincent merely raised his hand, signaling for no one to move. He knew… even the smallest mistake could be a disaster within five meters of that man.Kael stayed silent.The sound of people breathing in the lobby was too loud in their ears. Even the ticking of the clock echoed like a judge’s gavel about to deliver a verdict.Five seconds.Ten seconds.Thirty seconds.One minute.Still, silence.And finally…Kael took a slow breath.“Sorry,” he said softly. Not to Vincent. Not to Thorne. More to himself.“I came without solid proof. That’s not fair,” he went on, his voice calm and clear… yet

Half an hour later, Kael’s phone buzzed faintly in his pocket. A small vibration—carrying a heavy weight.One message. Labeled: "PRIORITY 9 – Gold Level".From: Grand Elder Vale."CCTV footage from the area around the scene has been recovered. Most of it was professionally wiped, but we managed to restore it through the regional monitoring system. The footage shows six masked men bringing Bella’s car to the scene and destroying it there. Bella did nothing during the entire process, which suggests she was already dead before that. They were highly trained—military precision and efficiency. We traced their physical traits and movement patterns. One of them is a former mercenary now working under Thorne—Vincent’s personal aide. The trail leads directly to Vincent Albrecht. Operational funds for that team were traced back to one of his company accounts."Kael closed the message slowly, his posture straightening.A shadow passed through his eyes. His gaze sharpened to a razor’s edge, fists

Elmridge City Hospital – 10:46 PMThe morgue’s identification room was always cold and quiet. Harsh neon lights lit up sterile white walls that held no warmth. The air carried a strong scent of disinfectant, barely masking the ever-present smell of death.A forensic officer stood beside a metal table, a white sheet covering the body. His face was unreadable—numb, like someone who had seen too much grief to be affected anymore. Behind him, two police officers stood by the door, their expressions tense, ready to deal with any kind of emotional reaction.The door creaked open.Hector walked in first, followed by Grace, Mariana, and finally, Agatha. None of them said a word.The forensic officer glanced at them and asked quietly, “Are you ready?”No one answered.With a swift motion, he pulled the sheet back.There she was—Bella.Lying still and pale, her lips had turned blue. A gash ran along her temple, and there were bruises around her neck, clear marks of strangulation. Even beneath t

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
