The Next Morning, Moonveil Grand Hotel, 8:17 AMKael and Evelyne stepped out of the elevator with an easy stride. Evelyne looked sharp in a simple white blazer, her hair neatly tied back, while Kael wore nothing more than a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows—laid-back as always.As the lobby doors slid open, an unusual scene greeted them. A man in his late forties stood tall with a wide smile, flanked by a young man in glasses carrying an engraved black wooden box—premium tea and coffee—and a young woman in a pastel blue dress holding two small, velvet-lined cases.Kael glanced at Evelyne. “Looks like we’ve got a new fan this morning.”Evelyne resisted the urge to sigh, though the corner of her eye twitched with curiosity. “Don’t start with your sarcasm, Kael.”The man stepped forward and gave a polite bow. “Good morning, Mr. Kael, Mrs. Evelyne. Allow me to introduce myself: Harold Veyron, Head of Criminal Investigation for the city of Villemere.”Evelyne blinked in

The bathroom door opened a few minutes later. Evelyne stepped out, dressed casually in a loose t-shirt and knee-length shorts. Her hair was tied up carelessly, and her face looked fresher.Kael, who had been sitting on the sofa clutching a pillow, cleared his throat lightly as he looked at her. “Alright, I’ll just crash here. This sofa’s comfy enough—way better than the sidewalk.”Evelyne paused mid-step, glanced at the sofa, then at the wide bed. She let out a faint sigh before saying, “Sleep in the bed. Next to me.”Kael blinked slowly, almost in disbelief. “Hm? You… serious?”Evelyne huffed, arms crossed. “Don’t overthink it. I don’t want to hear you whining about back pain tomorrow morning.”A mischievous grin spread across Kael’s face. “Wow, what made Her Majesty this generous?”Evelyne shot him a sharp look, though a hint of color touched her cheeks. “Consider it a reward. For saving me from Serpiente Negra tonight.”Kael stood up, walking over lightly as if he had just won the

A few minutes after Kael and Evelyne disappeared around the corner, the wail of sirens tore through the night. Five police cars screeched to a halt in front of the restaurant, now reduced to rubble and wisps of smoke. Red and blue lights flashed wildly, casting chaotic shadows on cracked walls.“Good Lord…” one officer muttered, staring at the building that was barely standing. “The power of Serpiente Negra… it’s terrifying!”“You’re not wrong,” another replied, his voice thick with unease. “Only they could cause this level of destruction. I wonder what lunatic dared to challenge them, pushing Serpiente Negra to unleash this kind of havoc.”But before that theory could spread, a breathless officer came running with a pale face. “Inspector! We found something across the street!”The inspector at the front turned sharply. “What is it?”“T-the body of El Jefe… h-he’s dead!”The air froze. All eyes went wide, a few officers exchanging disbelieving stares.“Impossible…” one of them whisper

Right after Kael said that—SMACK! Evelyne’s hand landed hard across his cheek, sharp and without warning.Kael blinked, not from the pain, but pure surprise. “Huh?”“Have you completely lost your mind, Kael?!” Evelyne’s voice trembled, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. “You went up against that many people alone?! What if you’d been hurt—or worse… killed?!”Kael rubbed his cheek slowly, raising an eyebrow with a crooked smile. “Killed? Sweetheart, if I die, who’s gonna do your laundry every day?”“Kael!” Evelyne shot him a glare, but her eyes betrayed her worry. “I’m serious! Don’t you ever do something like that again! I… I made a promise to Grandpa, and I can’t keep it if you end up like that!”Kael chuckled. “Oh, so it’s about the promise? Not about me?” He leaned in, his eyes glinting mischievously.Evelyne turned her head sharply, cheeks burning red. “That’s not what I meant!”Kael grinned wider. “Relax, Your Highness. I know what I’m doing. I don’t fight people out of my league
Chapter 093
Kael chuckled quietly, his voice low but carrying effortlessly across the room. “Locking all the exits, huh?” he said casually, eyes narrowing with mockery. “You’re all going to regret that.”Rodrigo growled, his voice like stone grinding against steel. “Little mutt… you don’t even know who you’re standing in front of. I am the storm in this city. And you—you’re just a brittle leaf that’ll be crushed before dawn.”Kael’s lip curled into a smirk. “Funny. Everyone who’s ever said something like that to me… somehow always ends up as ash.”Rodrigo snorted sharply, then with a swift motion shrugged off his long black coat. It hit the floor with a heavy thud. Muscles rippled beneath the light, his body looked as if it had been forged from hot iron. A glowing red aura seeped from his skin, like embers splashed with gasoline.“Alright, boy,” Rodrigo rumbled as he stepped forward. Each step cracked the marble floor, scattering chips in all directions. “Let’s fight—and we’ll see if you can stil
Chapter 092
Bruno, still standing on trembling knees, suddenly clutched his father’s arm like a child tattling to a parent. Tears mixed with blood streaked his cheeks. “Father! Kill him! Kill him right now! Don’t let him live! Don’t let his wife live! They both have to die tonight!” His voice cracked, shrill and desperate—like a spoiled brat demanding back a stolen toy.Rodrigo just stared at him, silent, but the veins at his temple throbbed. The men around the room exchanged looks, their anger simmering—how dare some lowlife make the heir of Serpiente Negra, the beloved son of El Jefe, cry in front of everyone!Kael exhaled briefly, then chuckled. A calm, cutting laugh that stung Bruno’s pride far worse than any punch.“Look at you,” Kael said, his voice low but carrying through the whole room. “The heir of Serpiente Negra… crying in his daddy’s arms, begging him to kill the man he couldn’t defeat himself? Pathetic. Weak. Pitiful.”Behind him, Evelyne froze, her eyes wide.Kael… what are you doi
