Chapter 234
Gasps echoed across the showroom like a wave crashing against marble walls.Time didn’t just slow—it froze.All eyes locked on Jaden, standing there like nothing happened, like he hadn’t just launched a chair through a luxury sedan’s windshield.The silence was deafening. Not even a breath.Jaden adjusted the cuff of his sleeve, his tone calm, almost too casual. “Now, may I know the price?”Isla flinched as if the question had slapped her across the face. Her mouth opened, closed, then opened again. She was visibly trembling, the shock short-circuiting whatever arrogance she had left. Her voice finally burst out, shrill and cracking. “Five... five hundred thousand! Are you insane? You broke it—do you know what you've just done?! You’re finished, you lunatic—”He cut her off without raising his voice. “Natalia.”The intern perked up like someone just called her name in a dream. “Yes, sir?”Jaden reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a black titanium credit card. He handed it to h
Chapter 233
Selena’s eyes moved across the glass showroom floor, scanning the rows of BMWs—sleek curves, aggressive grills, metallic bodies that screamed money. She turned to Jaden, her voice uncertain.“I’ve only got a hundred grand. I can’t even afford the rims on half these cars. Why don’t we check next door? Maybe something more…realistic.”Jaden smiled, calm but firm. “Selena, I brought you here for a reason. You’re the president of Rift Corp now. That Polo’s an insult to your title. You don’t need to worry about the price. I’ve got it covered.”She hesitated. Her fingers curled into her palm. Extravagance wasn’t her style. But Jaden didn’t give her space to argue.He pointed toward a black BMW Five Series parked under a spotlight. The thing looked like a panther on wheels. Clean, dominant, unapologetic.“This one. It fits your aura. Can we get someone to help us?”His voice carried across the floor, direct and clear.A cluster of salespeople lounged behind the desk. They heard him. They loo
Chapter 232
Silas’s voice came low, rough, and intimidating. From the way he speaks, you didn't need a second telling of how dangerous he was.Elias didn’t even blink.If anything, he looked impressed. This was exactly what he wanted. Someone whose soul wasn’t clean. Someone who didn’t ask questions. A walking weapon with no conscience and no brakes.The kind of bastard who could dismantle an entire operation without losing sleep, then show up the next morning in a fresh suit like nothing happened.Elias leaned forward, slow and deliberate, like he was sizing up a loaded gun.“I like how domineering you are,” he said, voice soaked in approval. “Good. You’ve got the job. Five million now. Another five when it’s done.”Silas leaned back and let out a deep, gravelly laugh. Not cocky. Just amused—like the money barely registered.He lifted his glass, no humility in sight. “To our success.”Elias raised his own, eyes unreadable, and clinked it against Silas’s. The sound echoed like a sealed deal. —T
Chapter 231
Verrick Family Villa – MidnightXander Verrick’s fury echoed through the marble halls like thunder.He slammed his glass of whiskey on the antique table, shards flying. “What the hell is going on, Elias? It’s been days, and there’s not a word from those outlaws you hired! Selena’s not only walking free—she’s launching a damn company! She’s turning Greyfield Village into a gold mine under our noses!”Elias stood stiffly in front of him, his face pale, tie loosened, collar damp with nervous sweat. “Dad, I… I didn’t expect Jarek to screw things up. I wired him a million for the hit, and next thing I know, the idiot ends up in the hospital. No word, no warning.”Xander shot him a murderous glare. “You trusted that clown with something this big? Do you even vet your people anymore?”Elias forced a bitter smile, masking his own frustration. “I thought he could handle it. But clearly… he wasn’t built for this level.”“It’s too late for that now.” Xander paced, voice cold and sharp. “Selena’s
Chapter 230
Jaden told her the whole truth, yet Selena stared at him, blinked once. Then rolled her eyes like he’d just recited a sci-fi plot.“Jaden Rift! Stop blowing things out of proportion,” she scoffed, arms crossed. “I want the actual story, not one of your dramatic action fantasies.”The King Of War was a legend, many people have only heard of him from rumors but none has ever seen him before, he's like a god on earth, and there's no way someone like Jaden would be that man.Jaden couldn’t help the smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. Misunderstood? Completely. But amused? Absolutely.She wasn’t ready for the truth, clearly. So he leaned back in his chair, tone casual, tossing her something more digestible.“Fine. I’ll give you the ‘believable’ version,” he said, pausing for effect. “I did a few years in the military. Still in touch with one of my senior officers. Coincidentally, the guy was running anti-terror drills near Ironvale City when everything went down.”Selena raised an ey
Chapter 229
Jaden stood still, calm in the eye of the chaos. His voice cut clean through the tense air.“Get ready for combat. Anyone tries to flee—shoot them.”“Yes, sir!”The synchronized roar of trained men echoed like thunder. The outlaws jolted, shoulders stiff, eyes wide. Some staggered back, but not one dared move.Grim’s confidence drained out of him like a busted pipe. He understood now. “A few hundred million” wasn’t about money. It was about force. The kind of force that could flatten a city, and here it was, aimed at them.Jaden walked up without hurry. He scooped Mia into his arms, her small frame clutching him tightly.His eyes locked on Grim. “Who sent you?”Grim’s hands trembled at his sides. “A gangster… Jarek. That’s all I know. He just said it was a high-paying gig. We don’t know who really pulled the strings.”Jaden stared him down for a moment, his expression unreadable. Then came his answer, sharp and cold. “Good.”He turned without another glance, carrying Mia as if nothing
