Chapter 312
On first impressions, Jaden Rift was a man who drew every eye without even trying. He had that rare combination of calm self-assurance and quiet danger that made people look twice. The longer you looked, the more his presence sank into you—like gravity itself.As the sleek black car rolled to a stop, heads turned. The women in the crowd—married and single alike—found themselves leaning forward instinctively. A few exchanged excited whispers. Others didn’t even bother to hide their interest.When Jaden stepped out, the chatter swelled. His suit was tailored to perfection, his expression cool but unreadable. A glint of something sharper than charm hid in his eyes.One bold socialite blew a kiss his way. Another giggled to her friend, “That’s a man who doesn’t ask for attention. It just comes to him.”If it weren’t for Morix Sable and the two bodyguards flanking him like an unspoken warning, that small pack of wealthy women might have swarmed him right there.A striking woman in a dark g
Chapter 311
Morix Sable had once marched under the same banner as Jaden Rift in the National Guards. When he mentioned “Captain,” he was talking about Kaelus—the man who’d drilled discipline and grit into them like steel.Jaden’s tone was casual, but his words carried weight.“There’s no need to waste the country’s resources,” he said, eyes narrowing just slightly. “Besides, I trust you. Don’t you have the confidence to crush Hart and his men?”Morix straightened, shoulders squared as if the weight of Jaden’s gaze alone demanded it.In truth, Harrison Hart was no ordinary street boss. He had ruled Ironvale City’s underworld for over a decade, a name that made debt collectors hesitate and rival gangs tread lightly. He was the kind of man who didn’t just survive fights—he ended them, often with his bare hands. His strength was beyond natural. Stories whispered in the shadows claimed he had once single-handedly dropped twenty armed men in a bar brawl and walked away without a scratch. If the devil w

Harrison Hart felt the sting of humiliation cut deeper than any blade. He had failed. The job he was supposed to wrap up cleanly had slipped right through his fingers, and now the shame burned in his chest like acid.His jaw clenched, but he forced himself to wear a smile. Turning to Jones Morello and Elias, he straightened his suit jacket as if that could patch over the failure.“Mr. Morello, Mr. Elias,” he said smoothly, hiding the grit in his voice, “we’ll head to Goodrich Hotel for a proper meal first. After that, I’ll take you both to Hell zone's Boxing—my place. You’ll get a front row seat to the kind of fights you don’t see on TV. I want you to enjoy yourselves tonight. As for Jaden Rift…” A dangerous glint passed through his eyes. “I’ll deal with him personally tomorrow.”Hell zone Boxing wasn’t just a boxing ring—it was the underground arena in Ironvale City. And Harrison wasn’t just its owner. He was its king. Every drop of blood spilled, every bone snapped, every cheer fro
Chapter 309
To be honest, even Emmanuel himself didn’t know who Rift truly was. He only knew one thing for certain—this man was not someone to underestimate.The way his superiors had reacted, the nervous tone in their voices… it spoke of connections and influence far beyond anything Emmanuel could imagine. No ordinary man could make people in his position so uneasy.But with the bitter hatred twisting in his chest, Emmanuel had no intention of letting Harrison know that. If Harrison wanted to underestimate Rift, let him. It would make his downfall all the sweeter.He gave a casual shrug and said vaguely, “What I did was against standard procedure. My superiors found some evidence. I got demoted. That’s all.”For a brief moment, Harrison studied him, eyes narrowing. He had half-expected Rift to be some untouchable figure from an elite background, someone he’d have to tiptoe around. But if Emmanuel’s words were true, then this was no more than a case of sloppy mistakes and bad luck. If Emmanuel ha

At that moment, a man in a black leather jacket came jogging toward the four men, breathless.His eyes darted nervously, his jaw tight. He leaned in close to Harrison and muttered, voice low but urgent."Boss… news from the police."Harrison, lounging in his seat with a smug grin, didn’t notice the tightness in the man’s tone.He smirked, "What, Rift and his woman finally smartened up? They ready to hand me my thirty million?"The underling’s gaze dropped to the ground. His Adam’s apple bobbed before he forced the words out."No, Boss… they—" he hesitated, then said it, "They were released. Carlos and the rest… they’ve been arrested.It’s bad, real bad. They’re looking at heavy sentences."Harrison’s smile froze, his face twisting like metal under heat."What?" His voice cracked into a bark. "You’re telling me the guy I had locked up is walking free,and my men are in cuffs? Call Emmanuel! Now! I want to hear him explain this before I lose my goddamn mind!"The underling’s voice grew
Chapter 307
The happy family went back inside the house for a late dinner, their voices carrying warmth and laughter that echoed faintly through the night.Meanwhile, at the Allheaven Hotspring Club…Steam rose lazily off the surface of the hot spring, curling into the dim, amber-lit air. The scent of sandalwood mixed with the faint tang of minerals, wrapping the room in a suffocating kind of luxury. Harrison Hart leaned back against the smooth stone edge, his muscular arms stretched out wide.Opposite him, Jones Morello reclined with a calculated ease, while Elias Verrick and his son Talon sat to the side, both wearing thin smiles that didn’t quite reach their eyes.Elias, eager to curry favor, was the first to break the silence. His voice oozed flattery.“With you in charge, Harrison, this job’s as good as done. That Jaden Rift… gutsy bastard, I’ll give him that. But beating up your men? That’s suicide. Too bad he doesn’t know who he’s really dealing with. Emmanuel Ransom in your corner? The gu
