Chapter 412
What came next froze every last drop of blood in the Duvan men’s veins.From above, the steady whir of rotor blades thickened into a thunderous roar. Two armored helicopters cut through the night sky, searchlights blazing down like the judgment of heaven itself. Their mounted high-speed machine guns swiveled into place, locking onto Kent’s remaining men. The message was clear—if anyone so much as twitched toward a vehicle, they wouldn’t get ten meters before being turned into shredded meat.The ground rumbled again as one of the tank hatches creaked open. A colonel in full combat fatigues emerged, his face expressionless, every inch the hardened soldier. Pressing a hand to the wireless earpiece on his helmet, his voice boomed like iron.“Secure the area! Not even a bird is allowed to leave this place!”His order was like a war drum.Within seconds, over two thousand fully armed soldiers tightened their encirclement. Boots slammed into the dirt with machine-like precision, the sound re

Kent’s rage finally boiled over. With a snarl, he yanked the trigger.Click.Nothing.Jaden didn’t even flinch. He sneered, his voice sharp with contempt. “You’ve clearly never fired a gun in your life. The thumb safety’s still on. You don’t even know the basics—and yet you thought you could kill me?”The words struck deeper than any blade.Kent blinked, stunned. His eyes darted down to the pistol. Sure enough, the safety was still locked, and worse—he hadn’t even chambered a round. The realization sank like lead in his gut.He cursed himself, fury and shame burning his face. Then, unable to help himself, he cursed Jaden for pointing it out in front of his men.Jaden’s gaze sharpened, cutting through him like ice. “If you were trying to make yourself look like a fool, congratulations. You’ve succeeded. But don’t worry—I’ll let my men teach you the proper way to handle a weapon.”With deliberate calm, Jaden raised his right hand, curling his fingers into a fist. It was the simplest ges

The next instant, Blaze and Frozon lunged forward like twin shadows, their movements a blur. One curved left, the other right, their footsteps light as ghosts as they came at Jaden in a perfect pincer. Their speed was terrifying. To the untrained eye, they would have vanished altogether.Gasps rose from Kent’s men. Everyone knew what happened when these two moved together—death.But Jaden didn’t so much as flinch.He let out a low, mocking snort. “Amateurs.”In the blink of an eye, his legs snapped up. Two sharp kicks shot out like lightning, faster than anyone could follow.THUD! THUD!The sound rang out like thunder. Blaze and Frozon’s chests caved under the impact, their bodies jerking mid-air before they were hurled backward as if struck by a wrecking ball. Blood sprayed from their mouths in thick arcs, their eyes rolling white as life fled them instantly.They slammed into the dirt at Kent’s feet, limbs sprawled awkwardly. Their throats gave one final rattle, blood pooling beneat

Although the men wore nothing more than casual clothes, the aura they carried was anything but ordinary. Each one moved with the quiet confidence of seasoned killers, their gazes sharp, their presence suffocating. Anyone with half a brain could see that this was no group of ordinary thugs—this was a death squad.The head of the Duvan family, Kent Duvan, stepped forward, his voice booming with arrogance.“Rift, Sable… have you already resigned yourselves to death? Why else would you walk right into my hands? Very well! Since you’re so eager, I’ll give you a chance. End yourselves now and spare me the trouble.”Jaden, known to most as Rift, stood calmly with his hands clasped behind his back. He had stopped Kent here on the outskirts of Ironvale City for one reason only—to keep blood from spilling near his family. He hadn’t wanted his home tainted by the stench of slaughter.And yet, this arrogant fool thought he had come here to die?Jaden’s eyes narrowed, his tone cold and measured. “

A simpering smile stretched across Elias’s face as he bowed his head low. “Thank you, Mr. Ortega. The Verrick family will never forget your generosity.”Lazarus Ortega didn’t answer right away. Instead, he lazily crooked a finger, and one of his suited men stepped forward immediately, carrying a sleek leather folder. With practiced precision, the man laid the contract open on the glass table before Elias.“Sign,” Lazarus said simply.The word was soft, almost casual, but it left no room for negotiation. Elias’s throat tightened as he took the pen, his hand trembling only slightly before he forced it steady. With a flourish, he scrawled his name across the bottom of the page.The moment the ink dried, the deed was done—the Verrick family was no longer free. They had tied their survival to the Ortega family, shackled by their own desperation.Lazarus snapped his fingers, and another man stepped forward with a chilled bottle of champagne. The cork popped, the golden liquid poured, and La

Xander’s expression darkened, his sharp eyes narrowing as he studied his son. “What do you have in mind, Elias? Speak plainly.”Elias leaned forward, voice low but filled with ambition. “Father, do you know of the Ortega family… one of the Southern Four?”The name alone carried weight. Xander’s brows shot up, and for a moment, even his breathing hitched. “Of course I know them. The Ortega family is a giant compared to the Duvans. They’re a second-tier power under the Four, but even so, the Duvans are practically insects next to them.”A sly grin spread across Elias’s face. “Exactly. You remember the last king of the Ironvale underworld, the man they called the Black Monarch?”Xander’s face stiffened at the mention. “Him? That shadow bastard who ruled Ironvale’s underground for a decade before Sable cut him down?”“That’s the one,” Elias confirmed, his eyes gleaming with calculation. “He was Ortega blood. When Sable wiped him out and swallowed his empire, he put a ban on gray businesse
