The tension in the hall was thick enough to choke on. Glasses clinked quietly, music had died down, and people were no longer pretending to enjoy the party. They were watching. Waiting.

Jaden and Stanwell stood across from each other like two lit fuses.

Stanwell’s eyes didn’t blink. His hands were already flexing, shoulders squared, like he was seconds from swinging. “You’re dead, you hear me?” he growled, stepping forward.

“Gentlemen,” a calm voice cut in from the side, breaking the stare-down

  • Plan to rescue Donald Winston

    Jaden stepped out of the shattered conference room as though nothing extraordinary had happened. Behind him, the luxurious chamber was left in complete ruin, its expensive furniture reduced to splinters while Vin and Jin remained unconscious beneath piles of broken debris. Several guards stared at him from a distance, but not a single one dared to move. They had witnessed enough to understand that stopping the King of War was nothing more than wishful thinking. Jaden calmly adjusted the collar of his coat, slipped both hands into his pockets, and walked back toward the grand banquet hall with the same composed expression he had worn when he first arrived.By the time he entered the gala, the atmosphere had changed completely. The once lively hall was beginning to empty as influential guests slowly departed after concluding their private discussions. Elegant music still echoed through the ballroom, servants continued serving wine, and businessmen exchanged polite smiles, but Jaden’s sh

  • Alliance IV

    Harry’s smile had disappeared completely.His fingers slowly clenched into fists.Elias shifted his attention toward Golden Marlon.“And then…”“The Marlon Family.”Golden remained silent.“Your family’s weapons business once dominated the entire continent.”“You supplied governments…”“…private contractors…”“…security firms…”“And countless underground organizations.”“You became wealthy because violence was profitable.”Golden narrowed his eyes.“But then the Special Forces discovered your shipments.”“They uncovered evidence that your weapons were arming terrorist groups, criminal syndicates, drug cartels, and warlords.”“The King of War personally authorized sanctions against your family.”“You were forced to terminate every illegal contract.”“Now…”“You manufacture almost exclusively for government agencies.”“Your profits have dropped dramatically.”Golden slowly lowered his head.Elias smiled knowingly.“So tell me…”“Was it really the law that ruined your business?”“…or was

  • Alliance III

    The conference room echoed with laughter as nearly everyone around the table wore amused expressions. To them, Elias Crowe’s proposal bordered on insanity. They had expected discussions about trade agreements, territorial expansion, or perhaps a merger between powerful business empires. Instead, they were being asked to wage war against the most feared military figure in Karethwyn. It sounded less like an alliance and more like collective suicide.Golden Marlon was the first to rise from his chair, still chuckling as he straightened his expensive suit. “What a complete waste of time,” he said, shaking his head. “I actually postponed an important weapons contract to attend this meeting. Had I known this was your grand proposal, I wouldn’t have bothered stepping foot in Ravenmoor.”Harry Blake also stood, lazily adjusting the cufflinks on his sleeves. “I have to agree. You’re asking us to gamble our families against the King of War. Even if victory is possible, the cost alone would crip

  • Alliance II

    Before he could continue, Golden Marlon impatiently leaned back in his chair and folded his arms.“Enough with the greetings.”The room fell quiet.Golden looked directly at Elias.“We didn’t fly across the country to exchange pleasantries.”His fingers tapped impatiently against the table.“Get to the point.”“What exactly is so important that it required gathering all of us here?”Several others nodded in agreement.Harry Blake casually crossed one leg over the other.“I agree.”“Every person in this room manages businesses worth billions.”“If this meeting isn’t worth our time, I won’t hesitate to leave.”Kenji Magami calmly sipped his tea without saying anything, while Alejandro De la Cruz simply smiled, interested to hear what could possibly unite so many influential families.Elias chuckled lightly.“I expected someone would ask that.”He slowly clasped his hands behind his back before walking toward the large digital screen behind him.“Very well.”“I’ll go straight to the poin

  • Alliance

    The grand banquet continued outside with music, laughter, and expensive wine flowing endlessly, giving every guest the illusion that the evening was nothing more than a celebration of the Crowe family’s rise to power. However, hidden behind several layers of security inside the estate, a completely different gathering was taking place. Unlike the glamorous banquet hall, this room was sealed off from the public, its thick doors guarded by heavily armed men. A massive round conference table occupied the center, while maps, documents, and digital projections covered the walls. This was the true reason the Crowe family had invited so many influential figures tonight. The gala had merely been a cover. The real objective was to forge an alliance between some of the most powerful families across Karethwyn—and even beyond its borders.Seated around the enormous table were individuals whose names alone could shake industries and governments. Harry Blake represented the Blake Family of Sky City

  • Hannah in trouble

    The room fell into tense silence.Victor watched Jaden’s retreating figure for several long seconds before slowly raising one hand.“…Stand down.”Every soldier froze.“But, Lord Victor—”“I said…”“Stand down.”Reluctantly, the men lowered their rifles.Jaden didn’t pause once. He pushed open the doors and disappeared into the corridor outside as if the entire confrontation had been beneath his notice.Only after the doors shut behind him did one of the captains step forward in confusion.“Lord Victor… why did you let him go? We had him surrounded.”Victor slowly smiled.“You really think those guns would’ve stopped him?”The captain hesitated.Victor looked down at the unconscious twins.“Vin and Jin were enough proof.”He clasped his hands behind his back once more.“This wasn’t the true battlefield.”“I invited Jaden Rift here for only one reason.”“To witness his strength with my own eyes.”His smile gradually became colder.“And now…”“I’ve seen enough.”Another subordinate frow
