Chapter 405
Putting on a brave front even as terror and impotent fury churned in his chest, Kenton raised his voice, his words cracking with desperation.“I’m Kenton Duvan, the heir to the Duvan family! Who dares to touch me!”His ten bodyguards instantly closed ranks, forming a wall of flesh and steel around him. Their stance was rigid, their blades drawn, their eyes filled with grim determination. They knew the odds, but none dared to retreat. To fail the young master meant a fate worse than death at the hands of their own clan.Kenton straightened his spine, hiding behind their formation. His voice rose again, though it quivered at the edges.“Kill them! Kill them all! I want his head on the floor!”The command barely left his lips before Kaelus and Morix moved.The two men leaped forward with the ferocity of predators unleashed, their expressions twisted with rage. They fell upon the bodyguards like wolves tearing into prey.Steel clashed against steel. Screams tore through the restaurant. Th

They were Jaden and Kaelus.For Morix and the others, it was as if the heavens themselves had opened. Their broken bodies trembled, but their voices rose together, hoarse yet filled with hope.“Sir!”The cry echoed through the ruined restaurant, like men who had just glimpsed salvation at the edge of despair.Kenton froze in his chair, his cigarette slipping from his fingers. For the first time that night, his composure cracked. His lips trembled as he stared at the man striding into the room like a shadow of death.“W–why are you here…? Shark…”Jaden’s voice was colder than steel. “He’s dead. And you will be next.”The words landed like a hammer.Kenton’s chest rose and fell rapidly before a sudden burst of laughter tore from his throat. His laughter was wild, manic, but underneath it was fear gnawing at his insides.“Such arrogance!” he barked, his grin twisting into a snarl. “Let’s see if you have the skills to match it! Brandon—kill him!”The order snapped through the air like a w
Chapter 403
Kenton lounged lazily in a chair at the center of the wreckage, as if the blood and broken bodies around him were nothing more than stage props. Smoke curled elegantly from the cigarette between his fingers, twisting in the dim light. Behind him, ten bodyguards stood in perfect formation, stone-faced and silent, their eyes fixed ahead like statues.He exhaled a slow stream of smoke and glanced at Morix, whose battered body was still somehow upright despite the blood that dripped steadily from his wounds. Kenton’s lips curled into a smirk, a picture of cruel amusement.“I thought the man who killed my brother and brought down Black Monarch would be more… impressive.” His tone was mocking, dismissive. “But looking at you now? What a disappointment.”Morix swayed on his feet, his body torn to shreds, but his spirit had not cracked. His eyes blazed with defiance. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor with a wet splatter and snarled through gritted teeth.“You clowns won’t be celebrat
Chapter 402
She already knew what he was about to do.The moment Jaden told her to head home, Selena could guess where his steps would take him. The assassins hadn’t shown up for no reason. She assumed they had been sent by people with their eyes on the construction project again, trying to stir up chaos.Concern colored her tone as she looked at him one last time. “Please be careful.”Jaden’s cold eyes softened for a moment. He smiled at her gently, his voice calm. “I will.”Selena’s car pulled away. The taillights glowed briefly before disappearing around the corner. From a few spaces back, an inconspicuous black SUV rolled out smoothly and followed her. Inside were men Kaelus had stationed, tasked with protecting the Rift family from the enemies.Jaden watched until they were gone. His expression hardened.Moments later, a dark Jeep came to a halt in front of him. The driver’s side window rolled down. Kaelus sat behind the wheel, his face grim.Jaden slipped into the passenger seat, shutting t

I’m so dead.That was the only thought echoing in Shark’s mind. His chest burned, his ribs screamed in agony, and blood pooled in his mouth. He could barely breathe, let alone fight.Then Jaden’s cold, apathetic voice rang out, shattering the silence.“Excuse me. Call the lift.”For a second, Shark thought he misheard. Of all the things he expected—threats, torture, death—this calm request was not one of them.He blinked, then understood.Ignoring the agony tearing through his ribs, he staggered to his feet, one trembling hand bracing against the wall. His other hand reached out, quivering, until it landed on the button.Ding!Several seconds later, the elevator arrived. The polished silver doors slid open with a soft whoosh.Jaden and Selena walked forward in unhurried steps, passing Shark as though he were nothing more than a broken piece of trash. The woman still clutched the corner of Jaden’s shirt, eyes squeezed shut, trusting him completely.Shark’s gaze locked on their backs.A

At Shark’s order, the twenty men surged forward like a wave of shadows, their knives gleaming coldly under the mall’s bright lights.The first man charged recklessly, roaring as he raised his blade above his head, aiming to split Jaden’s skull in half.Whoosh!Before the knife even began its descent, Jaden’s arm moved. The black umbrella in his hand shot forward with blinding speed, the tip driving straight into the man’s throat. The attacker’s eyes bulged in shock. A wet gurgle escaped his lips as blood sprayed from the wound, and he collapsed heavily to the floor.The others hesitated for only a second before pressing on. Two men came at Jaden from both sides, knives slashing toward his ribs.Step. Step.Jaden advanced calmly, as though he were strolling through a quiet park. The umbrella swung in a sharp arc.Crack! Crack!Both men screamed in agony as their kneecaps shattered under the brutal strike. Their legs bent unnaturally as they dropped to the ground, rolling and clutching
