Brutus charged in first. Built like a walking wall, every step he took made the floor tremble. He swung a steel chain as thick as a grown man’s wrist, the clangs echoing like thunder.“RAAAHH!”The chain came crashing down toward Kael with enough force to smash a concrete pillar. But just before it hit, Kael simply tilted his shoulder. The chain slammed into the floor instead, carving a long crack across the cement.Kael glanced at the crack, then smirked.“Wow. If you’re planning renovations, I can recommend a cheaper contractor, you know?”Brutus roared in frustration and swung again, this time faster, from the side. Kael ducked, letting the chain whip right over his head—so close the gust ruffled his hair. He straightened up casually, dusting his shoulder as if nothing had happened.“Not bad. At least you’re more accurate than the thugs I dealt with a few days ago.”From the sidelines, Ravelo finally moved. His body blurred, splitting into three shadows as his steel claws slashed s
Chapter 059
In the monitor room, Don Matteo’s cigar smoke hung motionless in the air. His lips, usually fixed in a cold, tight line, parted slightly without him realizing. His eyes stayed locked on the shaking screen—not because of poor camera quality, but because the very floors of their headquarters trembled every time Kael took a step.Silvana stood stiffly beside him, fists clenched tight. She was rarely shocked, let alone shaken. But what she saw on the screen tore apart every bit of calm she had. “Boss… he… he’s not human. He’s like—”“Like a nightmare made real,” Don cut her off, his voice low but heavy. The last curl of smoke slipped from his cigar before it died out at his lips.Silvana swallowed hard. She wanted to deny it, but the image of Kael on-screen—darting through enemy fire, ripping men apart without a weapon—killed any words of protest in her throat.Don pressed his fingers against the table, his knuckles whitening. “Laurent… that old snake. They’ve been hiding this man from th

The blast from the steel door was still echoing when the Laurent family’s troops charged in, moving in tight formation, gun barrels sweeping every corner.For a few seconds, the entryway looked empty—old neon lights flickering, the air thick with the smell of rust mixed with dust.Then, from behind support pillars, stacks of crates, and the upper catwalk made of steel grating, dozens of gun barrels suddenly appeared.RATATATATAT!Bullets poured down on them like a storm of lead, tearing into walls, floors, and anyone too slow to take cover. Chunks of concrete and splinters of wood exploded into the air, screams blending with shouted orders.“TAKE COVER! TAKE COVER!”A few Laurent soldiers dropped instantly, their blood staining the cold floor. The survivors scrambled for shelter behind crates and pillars. But the Marcelli Syndicate’s shooters had perfect positions—holding the high ground and covering every blind spot, making each step forward a gamble with death.On the seventh floor,
Chapter 057
On the 47th floor of the Albrecht Tower, sunlight spilled across the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the glass catching it in a soft, golden reflection. Beyond, the city stretched out in miniature—skyscrapers reduced to toy blocks, the heavy traffic nothing more than thin, crawling lines.Vincent stood before the glass, one hand holding a crystal glass of red wine, swirling it slowly. His gaze swept across the skyline, but the faint smile on his lips made it clear his thoughts were far from the view.A single knock on the door. Then it opened. Thorne stepped inside with quiet, deliberate steps, dipping his head slightly.“Our plan worked, sir,” he reported. “The poor man who brought the false information and fabricated proof… Don bought it.”Vincent didn’t respond right away. He took a slow sip of wine, letting the heavy taste dance over his tongue before swallowing.Thorne continued, “We’ve also received word from the Laurent family. They’ll be attacking tonight. And—” he paused, w
Chapter 056
At 11 a.m., the air was starting to warm up, but the park bench tucked away in the corner of City Green Park still felt cool thanks to the thick shade of the trees.Kael sat there, leaning back against the slightly rusted iron frame. In his hand was a cup of black coffee from a tiny café across the street, its sharp, bitter aroma curling into the breeze.A faint wisp of steam rose from the surface, mingling with the passing wind and blurring his vision for a moment. He stared blankly at the children running around the park, his mind still chained to the image of Bella’s face on that cold slab in the morgue.The phone in his pocket buzzed.Kael reached for it immediately, expecting it to be Vale. Had the information already come in?But when he glanced at the screen, his brow furrowed. It was from Hector Laurent.He swiped to answer. “What is it, Uncle Hector?”The voice on the other end was forceful, skipping any pleasantries. “Get to my mother’s room. Now. You have ten minutes. If yo
Chapter 055
After a while lost in thought, the pieces of logic began to fall into place.Could Vincent and Bella have been having a secret affair?Honestly, it makes sense, considering Vincent was expected to be with Evelyne. So when he approached Bella, charming her, she might’ve decided to keep it under wraps, at least until she found the right moment.No matter how Kael saw Bella, it was obvious she envied Evelyne for all the praise and achievements she received.Then, exploiting that weakness, Vincent could’ve lured Bella somewhere and killed her there.So that’s how you killed Bella, Vincent?Now Kael had a rough picture of how Vincent had done it. All that was left was to find the proof and expose him.Of course, the best way to find evidence was to contact Vale and ask for his help.The body bag was zipped shut again. Without a sound, Kael left the morgue, walked down the hallway, and descended from the fifth floor—without saying a single word to Evelyne or Sofhie.By this point, he was al
