Meanwhile, Mariana stood frozen, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.Her mother… praised Kael?That bastard?How could that even be possible?!“This is insane…” Mariana finally spoke, her voice bitter. “Mother, maybe Kael did make a big contribution by destroying Serpiente Negra. But have we even considered the consequences? What if their remnants or allies come back for revenge? Wouldn’t that bring even greater trouble to the Laurent family?!”Her words immediately found support.“She’s right!” one of Evelyne’s cousins chimed in. “If Kael really messed with a mafia that big, wouldn’t our family be the next target?”Grace quickly followed up, her face pale. “Oh God, I won’t even be able to sleep peacefully if that’s the case! Mother, this only puts all of us in danger!”Hector nodded heavily. “Mariana’s right. What Kael did is far too risky. Even if he managed to take out El Jefe, Serpiente Negra isn’t some small-time gang. They’ve got n

Kael glanced sideways at Agatha, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “Alone? Wow… is this some kind of secret meeting? Are we about to discuss forming a shadow government?”His tone was light, almost playful, but that was exactly what made the air in the front yard grow even more tense. Evelyne shook her head slightly, like she had already given up on Kael’s inability to ever be serious.Agatha, however, didn’t take the bait. Her sharp gaze never wavered.“Fine,” Kael finally said, lifting his shoulders in a shrug. “If Grandma wants to talk, let’s talk. Honestly, I’m curious too—what exactly do you want to discuss with your handsome son-in-law?”Agatha stared at him for a long moment before finally turning away. “Follow me later.” Her tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.Meanwhile, Harold—who had been standing politely to the side—finally bowed slightly. “Madam Laurent, I’ve fulfilled my duty. It’s time I take my leave.” He then gave Kael a meaningful look. “Mr. Kael, if you

Meanwhile, at the Laurent family mansion, inside her spacious private chamber, Agatha Laurent sat upright in a black leather chair. Though she was already seventy-five, her posture remained firm, her eyes sharp—like a blade that refused to rust with time.On the marble desk before her, a telephone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. The ringtone was heavy, drawn out, carrying an ominous weight.With calm precision, Agatha reached for the receiver. “Hello?” Her voice was cold, steady, and commanding.On the other end, an elderly man with a Villemere accent spoke in a hurried tone. “Madam Laurent… you need to hear this. Villemere is in an uproar this morning.”Agatha’s brows furrowed. “In an uproar? Over what?”The man inhaled sharply, then spoke in a rush, as though he couldn’t believe the words leaving his mouth. “Serpiente Negra… has been destroyed.”Agatha straightened even more, her still-strong fingers tightening around the receiver. “Serpiente Negra… destroyed?” she repeated slo

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
