Jaden had finally discovered Julie’s whereabouts.

He stepped into his sleek black Range Rover, his expression unreadable as he gripped the wheel and pulled out of the estate.

It had been years since he left Ravenmoor. Back then, Julie was only ten. His aunt, unable to keep up with the crumbling state of her finances, eventually gave the child away to a couple who had struggled with infertility for over a decade. The Hales weren’t rich, but they were good people—and they raised Julie well.

The GPS led Jaden to Silvercreek High School.

He pulled into a spot just across from the school gates. It was a prestigious institution—one that only admitted the best students from the top-performing middle schools across the region. Julie had apparently crushed every test, emerging as her class valedictorian. Typical of her.

"They're probably still in class," Jaden murmured, glancing at the time. He leaned back in his seat. "I'll wait."

Meanwhile close to the packing lot, three figures emerged.

    Jaden leaped down from the car roof like a phantom descending from the clouds. His boots hit the ground with a solid thud that echoed in Damian Blake’s ears louder than the pounding of his own terrified heartbeat.Before Damian could react, Jaden seized him by the collar, lifting him effortlessly off his feet like a rag doll. Their faces were inches apart.“No one’s coming to save you,” Jaden whispered with a deadly calm, his grip tightening, his eyes dark and merciless.Suddenly—VROOOOM!A roaring engine tore through the still air as a military jeep screeched to a halt nearby, dust swirling in the headlights.The car door slammed open, and out stepped a broad-shouldered man in a crisp military uniform, his face stern, his boots polished to a mirror shine. Dozens of armed soldiers followed, fanning out in formation like trained wolves awaiting orders.Captain Kelvin had arrived.Damian’s eyes lit up with desperate hope as he stumbled forward, straightening his wrinkled collar, forcin

    Jaden stood tall amidst the battered courtyard, his voice slicing through the tense air like a blade.“The Blake family has no more use for vicious wives. And from today onward — no one threatens my people.” His eyes gleamed coldly as his words settled like a noose around the Blake name.Meanwhile…Just beyond the chaos, Damian Blake sat hunched behind the wheel of his black luxury sedan, knuckles white on the steering wheel, sweat beading on his forehead. His normally composed face twisted with desperation as he maneuvered toward the estate’s back gate, the hum of the engine roaring low like a beast in flight.“Damn it… damn it…” he muttered, peering through the rearview mirror. “That lunatic took out Captain Steven — a Second Lieutenant, former special ops — like it was nothing.”His voice shook as fear clawed at his chest.“If that monster stays… my family’s finished…”But Damian had underestimated the predator he was dealing with.In the distance, Jaden’s sharp senses pricked at t

    Jaden stood tall, his foot pressing down lightly on Captain Steven’s back as both Steven and Elder Hart knelt in the debris-strewn courtyard. His expression was calm, unreadable — but the faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips promised nothing good.“Tell me…” Jaden’s voice was soft, dangerous. “How exactly should I kill you two? I like options.”Steven's face paled, his swollen cheek still burning from earlier. “P-Please… we’re not your real enemies… The Blakes sent us… We're just pawns,” he stammered, eyes darting with fear.“Right, pawns,” Jaden repeated, the smirk deepening. His gaze shifted to Elder Hart, whose face was bloodied, pride shattered.The old man gulped, bowing his head lower. “I— I was blind… I swear, I’ll disappear. You’ll never see me again. Please… mercy.”Jaden chuckled softly, as if amused by their desperation. His lips parted, ready to reply—Slash!A silver glint flashed behind him — silent, fast, precise — aiming for his neck.But Jaden’s instincts wer

    The tension in the air was suffocating. The shattered remains of the Blake Family’s front gate still lay scattered across the marble driveway like broken pride, and in the middle of the wreckage stood Jaden — calm, unbothered, a devilish smirk curling at the edge of his lips.Across from him, the Blake Family’s guards hesitated, exchanging uneasy glances. Their strongest men — sprawled out on the ground, groaning in agony — had been dismantled like rag dolls. Fear crept into their bones.The elderly man, dressed in a traditional black robe with silver linings, stepped forward. His face was sharp, carved with years of experience, but now flushed with rage.“How dare you, you arrogant mongrel!” the old man barked, his voice carrying authority. “The Blake Family stands on generations of martial arts supremacy and military prestige. You—” He pointed a trembling finger at Jaden. “—dare slander us?!”Before Jaden could reply, Captain Steven stepped beside the elder — massive, broad-shoulder

    At the sprawling Blake estate Inside the grand study, Damian Blake, patriarch of the Blake family, paced restlessly across the marble floor, veins throbbing at his temples. His wife, Vivienne Blake, elegant yet venomous, sat stiffly by the window, her polished nails digging into the armrest.Their world had crumbled.Their only son, Andrew Blake, the pride of the Blake name, was permanently disabled — crippled, humiliated, his future extinguished. Worse, the family legacy was now at risk. Andrew could no longer father an heir.Vivienne’s eyes were bloodshot with rage as she muttered under her breath, “That bastard… That lowlife dared to touch our bloodline… He ruined our son…” Her voice cracked, part fury, part heartbreak.Damian slammed his palm against the mahogany desk, the wood creaking under his strength. “And the bounty?” he snapped toward the guards standing along the wall. “We sent elite hunters, mercenaries, assassins… Not one of them returned alive! Who the hell is this Jad

    Anthony Scarface stood frozen, disbelief etched across his face as he watched the chaos settle. His eyes darted to Jaden, sizing him up again like he hadn’t already witnessed enough.“Where… Where the hell did this monster come from?” Anthony muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with awe and caution. “No wonder even Vincent couldn’t last a minute… This guy’s not ordinary…”Meanwhile, Williams Gravesend sat slumped in his chair, face bruised, pride shattered, the weight of the signed documents in Jaden’s hand sealing his fate.Jaden glanced at the papers, a satisfied smirk curling on his lips. “The Gravesend Group… Your precious empire… All mine now.” He flipped through the documents, his eyes pausing as he tapped one specific page. “Funny… You bastards snatched away my aunt’s house all those years ago,” his eyes darkened, “Time to return the favor… I’m giving her a little ‘gift’.”Williams’s eyes twitched with helpless rage, his face bruised, his voice hoarse. “C-Can I… Can
