“Argh! Bastard!” Greg roared, wiping blood from his lip. “You think you can stop me? I’m taking this house today, and there’s not a damn thing any of you can do about it!”

Jaden didn’t flinch. His eyes narrowed as he raised one hand—then casually waved it.

BOOM!

A pulse of invisible force blasted from his palm, striking Greg square in the chest.

WHAM!

Greg was flung like a ragdoll, tumbling across the room, crashing into furniture, smashing through a chair, and slamming into the far wall with a heavy thud. The plaster cracked where his body hit. He groaned, sliding down to the floor in a heap.

Silence followed.

Mathew’s mouth hung open. He slowly stood up, eyes wide in disbelief.

“I… I can’t believe it. He’s not bluffing. He’s actually that strong…”

Jaden said again, slowly.

“Where’s the medicine I asked for?”

Greg let out a hoarse growl as he clutched his ribs, staggering to his feet.

“You’ll be sorry for this… it’s not over!” He pointed a trembling, bloodied finger at Jaden. “I’ll b

    John staggered backward, eyes wide, hands trembling. He raised a finger and pointed straight at Greg.“I-It was him! He threw the brick! I swear—I had nothing to do with this!”“I–I was just—” Greg stammered, but before he could finish, Jaden stepped forward and delivered a brutal hammer punch that slammed into Greg’s mouth with a sickening crack. Teeth scattered across the pavement like broken glass.Greg tried to scramble away on all fours, blood dribbling down his chin, but Jaden grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked him up effortlessly. He rammed another punch into his face, splitting his brow wide open.Crack!Greg’s scream echoed through the alley as Jaden twisted and snapped his arm like a twig.“AHHHH!!”“I told you…” Jaden said coldly, his voice void of emotion, “You won’t be leaving here conscious.”Without hesitation, he slammed his boot down on Greg’s shin,nanother bone snapped.Greg’s shriek was cut off as he passed out from the pain, blood pooling around his limp body

    With that, Jaden leapt out the shattered window, glass fragments raining around him as he landed hard on the cracked pavement below. His coat flared as he stood upright, completely unbothered by the fall.Greg flinched. “Tch! Still acting tough? You really think you’re untouchable, huh? You’re gonna die today!” He spat, backing up slightly.He gestured toward a thick-necked, scar-faced brute standing at the center of the mob, shirtless beneath a torn combat vest, arms bulging with muscle and covered in ink. “Brother John! That’s him! The little punk stirring trouble on your turf!”John stepped forward slowly, cracking his knuckles like stone grinding against stone. His voice was low and cruel. “So, this is the bastard who made you cry, Greg?”Greg snarled. “He embarrassed me in front of everyone! Get your ass over here and show some respect, you worthless dog. You’ve been acting all bold—let’s see how bold you are when you’re crawling!”John didn’t flinch. “Get him on his knees. I don

    Julie rushed to Kelvin and scooped the crying boy into her arms, her voice soft and shaking.“Don’t cry, Kelvin. Aunty’s here… shhh, it’s okay.”The boy buried his face in her shoulder, sobbing hard.“You—” Martha’s voice broke as she pointed at Greg, trembling in rage. “How dare you hit my son!”She tried to push herself off the bed, fury burning in her sick eyes, but her body betrayed her. A harsh cough wracked her chest and she collapsed back with a groan of pain.Jaden’s fists clenched, but his eyes remained cold. Calculating.Mathew, watching from the corner, exploded in frustration. “You coward! Are you just going to stand there and watch someone disrespect your aunty like this? Do something!”Straightening his back and puffing out his chest, Mathew took a step toward Greg.“Hey, Greg,” he said, trying to sound firm. “Leave now. Don’t cause trouble. You’re not welcome here.”SLAP!Greg’s hand crashed into Mathew’s cheek, snapping his head sideways with a sickening sound. Mathew

    It was a sharply dressed young man in a navy-blue suit, walking in with confidence that reeked of arrogance."Mathew, you're here," Martha said, her face lighting up a bit.She tried to sit up as she gestured between the two young men. "Jaden, this is Mathew—my nephew from your uncle’s side. Mathew, meet Jaden—Julie’s brother."Mathew gave Jaden a quick scan from head to toe. There was a smug glint in his eyes, like he was already sizing up a rival. He stepped forward with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“Julie’s brother? Huh. Are you a new graduate or something?” he asked. “Where did you intern?”Jaden didn’t even spare him a glance. He turned straight to Martha instead. “Aunty, do you feel any better now?”Martha chuckled softly. “I do, son. Mathew’s been helping take care of me too… he comes around when he can.”Hearing that, Mathew’s smile grew wider—proud even—but it dropped in an instant when he realized Jaden had blatantly ignored his question.“You arrogant little pu

    “Poor Aunty,” Julie sighed, glancing at Kelvin who was now sitting in a corner, mumbling to himself and giggling at the wall. “She took him to every major hospital in the country, tried every treatment she could afford—western, herbal, even spiritual. But nothing changed. He didn’t improve.”She paused, her eyes darkening.“She isolated herself from everyone, even us. Said it was better that way—less shame, less heartbreak.”Jaden’s jaw tightened. His fingers curled into fists at his side.He had never liked his aunt’s husband, not even as a child. The man had always looked down on his mother and her side of the family—favoring rich friends, mocking anyone who didn’t wear designer clothes or speak with influence. And now, to hear he abandoned his own child because of a disability?Another bastard. Another selfish scumbag like his father.The kind that makes you wonder why you even share the same blood.Moments later, they reached a small house nestled between tall, rusted fences. The

    Norman rushed forward, clutching a file in his trembling hands. His expression was one of panic and desperation as he bent slightly before Marvin.“Brother Marvin, please… forgive me. I—I never even looked through this contract till now. But here—it’s all here!” he said, handing over the document with both hands, bowing slightly.Marvin took the file and flipped through the pages. His eyes narrowed with growing fury.“This says… two million. That’s what I borrowed. Not seven. And the terms were clearly stated—annual repayments, no interest hikes.”Norman clenched his jaw. “That bastard Stone… he altered the terms and went behind my back. He’s been collecting money in my name—without my permission.”Marvin’s brows twitched. His knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. “That scumbag.”Stone, still crumpled on the floor and bleeding from his lip, stared up in disbelief. His mind reeled at the sudden reversal. Is this really happening? His boss—the same man who once barked orders at reg

    The next morning, Julie stood in front of the cracked mirror, brushing her hair and adjusting her modest coat. Jaden emerged from the tiny room they shared, his sharp eyes scanning her.“You ready?” he asked.Julie nodded. “Yeah. Let’s go see Aunty.”They walked into the living room where Marvin sat on a worn-out sofa, sipping tea.“Dad, we’re heading out to visit Aunty,” Julie said.Marvin smiled warmly. “That’s good. Greet her well for me. And you both take care of yourselves, alright?”“We will,” Julie replied.Jaden simply gave a slight nod.Moments later, the two left the house, the wooden door creaking shut behind them.---An hour passed.Suddenly, the front door exploded open with a loud crash, wood splinters flying across the floor. Marvin jolted to his feet, his teacup shattering on the ground.A group of men marched in without a word, dressed in black jackets with a golden emblem: the mark of the Nova Company.Marvin’s face paled the moment he saw the man leading them.“Sto

    Jaden dusted his clothes off with calm precision, as though nothing had happened. His knuckles were still red, but his face betrayed no emotion.Julie rushed forward, wrapping her arms tightly around him. “Big brother, you’re amazing,” she whispered, her voice trembling not out of fear—but relief. “It’s over now. Let’s go home.”But just as they were about to leave, Ms. Clara stepped forward, her heels clicking against the pavement. “Wait,” she said sharply. “I want to talk to your brother.”Jaden turned his head slightly. Clara marched over and grabbed his wrist, pulling him aside. They stopped near a rusted dumpster, where shadows stretched long across the alleyway.She crossed her arms and stared at him sternly. “Since you're Julie's brother, I’ll be blunt. Maybe you’ve made a name for yourself in whatever hellhole you disappeared into all these years. But that doesn’t give you the right to waltz in and throw chaos around like a wrecking ball.”Jaden remained quiet, his eyes steady
