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

    The medical staff worked frantically to keep Lazarus alive. Hours bled away as the operating room filled with tense shouts, the hum of machines, and the sharp smell of antiseptic. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the head surgeon stepped out, his scrubs soaked in sweat.“He’ll live,” he announced at last.Relief rippled through Elias and the others who had been waiting. But that relief curdled into horror when the next words came.“However… the damage below the waist was too severe. His reproductive organs were completely crushed. There’s nothing we can do to restore them.”The statement landed like a hammer.Lazarus Ortega, once known proudly across the South as the Player, could no longer live up to the name. His most prized vice had been stripped from him in a single brutal stomp.Later that same day, after his condition was stabilized, Lazarus was transferred in secrecy to one of the best hospitals in Shadowmoor. Rumors were already beginning to spread, but the family ke

    The moment Jaden’s eyes landed on Selena and saw that she was unharmed, the knot of tension in his chest finally loosened. He let out a long breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.His gaze shifted to Lazarus, and in an instant his expression hardened into stone. His voice dropped, cold and sharp enough to cut.“I’m afraid I’ll have to interrupt.”Selena, who had been teetering on the edge of despair moments ago, broke at the sound of his voice. Her strength crumbled and she flung herself into his arms, clutching him desperately as though he were the only thing anchoring her to the world.Her voice trembled, muffled against his chest. “Jaden…”He stroked her hair gently, his tone low and steady, carrying the kind of certainty that erased fear.“It’s okay. I’m here now.”Without another word, Jaden bent and lifted her easily into his arms, holding her in a protective bridal carry. He turned toward the door, his steps firm and unhurried, his entire presence radiating dominance.But

    “The cops have already concluded the investigation,” Lazarus said lazily, swirling the wine in his glass as if he were discussing something trivial. “Your father was declared solely responsible for all damages. And as for that porcelain vase? I have the certification of its authenticity right here.” He tapped the folder on his desk with a smug finger. “Even if you dared to drag this into court, your family would lose miserably. You have no way out, Selena. None. Unless you cough up the three hundred million in compensation.”He paused, his smile turning darker. “Of course… there is another option. If you give yourself to me willingly, I’ll make one call to T-Rex and your entire family problem disappears.”Selena’s eyes blazed with fury. Her voice rang out sharp and trembling with outrage. “You’re a disgusting lowlife! Keep dreaming!”Lazarus clicked his tongue mockingly, the sound echoing like a whip crack in the tense silence. “Tsk, tsk. Such spirit. But tell me—are you really going

    Selena had heard of the Ortega family before. They weren’t just wealthy—they were one of the most entrenched elite families in the entire South. Their reach extended through business, politics, and even the underworld. People didn’t casually cross the Ortegas.She had never imagined she would one day stand face-to-face with one of them.Her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she studied Lazarus Ortega, lounging behind the desk with that smug grin. “I have no ties with you, Mr. Ortega. So why would my uncle claim you’d be willing to lend me money just because I asked?”Lazarus’s gaze drifted down her body, unhurried and deliberate, like he was already claiming ownership of what he saw. His lips curved into a slow, lecherous smile as he leaned back in his chair. His voice came out smooth, almost velvet, but the intent beneath it was sharp.“Because I’m interested in you.”Selena’s blood ran cold. Her face hardened instantly, and her tone dropped to ice. “I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m

    Selena had more or less expected such a response from her uncle.Still, a part of her couldn’t help but feel relieved. Elias wasn’t mocking her or lashing out as he used to. That alone felt strange. Unexpectedly, she found herself almost… grateful.She forced a polite smile and rose to her feet. “I understand it’s inappropriate for me to ask for such a large sum. But I really don’t have any other options. Either way, I appreciate your hospitality. I’ll take my leave now.”She turned to go, but Elias raised his hand quickly. “Wait!”Selena paused, glancing back with a puzzled look. “Is there something else, Uncle?”Elias leaned back in his chair, lips curling into a grin that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “It’s true that we don’t have that kind of money at the moment. But that doesn’t mean your situation is hopeless. There’s someone who can help you. In fact, if you ask him, he’ll definitely agree to give you the loan.”Selena’s brows furrowed slightly. “Who?”Elias’s grin deepened, his

    Jaden’s eyes sharpened into cold slits. “Mr. Ortega?”T-Rex swallowed hard. The moment he had betrayed his backer, he knew there was no going back. He might as well spit everything out. His swollen lips trembled as he forced the words.“The one who gave the order was Lazarus Ortega… the eldest of the Ortega family.”He glanced nervously at Jaden, then continued in a rush. “Black Monarch and I both served the Ortegas. But compared to me, Monarch had a much higher status. He was their voice in Ironvale City. Your killing of him didn’t just tarnish their name—it cut deeply into their profits.”He took a shuddering breath. “That’s why Lazarus wants to settle the score with you.”Jaden’s mouth curved faintly, but his eyes were like blades. “Settle the score with me?” His tone was amused, but the underlying chill made T-Rex’s blood run cold.“That’s right,” T-Rex croaked. “He told me to… to have fun with you. The fatal kind of fun.” He hesitated, then blurted, “And he also said—”Jaden’s br
