Chapter 715
Finley was so furious that even the water around him rippled. He slammed his palm on the edge of the hot spring and snarled, “What an arrogant bastard. I will never kneel before him—nor will the Ortegas ever retire!”The words echoed through the steamy room like a vow of war.But before the echo faded, another voice cut through the air—low, cold, and dripping with death.“Then today will be the last day on earth for you and the Ortega family.”The laughter and chatter in the spa died instantly. The two women beside Finley froze, their smiles vanishing. Tobin’s head jerked toward the door, and even the bodyguards, hardened men who’d seen countless battles, flinched at that voice.Finley’s expression twisted into a snarl. “Who the hell is that?”The sliding door creaked open.Steam billowed out into the hallway, and through it strode a figure—broad-shouldered, calm, eyes sharp enough to slice through the haze. Behind him came Kaelus Sablee, Morix Sable, and the rest of the Elite Eight,

But Jaden only said calmly, his tone utterly even, “Excuse me, could you put the seat upright for me?”The words were soft — too soft — and that made them even more terrifying.Tobin froze, blinking in disbelief. For a moment, his brain couldn’t even process the request. Then, as he followed Jaden’s gaze, he noticed the two chairs lying toppled over beside him.A chill went through his veins.Ignoring the searing pain in his chest, Tobin struggled to stand. His bones creaked audibly, and every breath sent daggers of pain slicing through his ribs. Sweat rolled down his temples and soaked through his shirt, but he forced a crooked smile.“Y–yes… right away, Mr. Rift. R-right away.”His voice trembled so badly that even he could barely recognize it.Clenching his jaw to block out the agony, Tobin bent down and grabbed the chairs, righting them one by one. Every small movement was torture. The simple act of bending made his vision blur, yet he didn’t dare falter.He could feel Jaden’s col

The few men left standing were trembling, their weapons quivering in their hands. None of them dared to take another step forward. The confident sneers they wore earlier had long vanished, replaced with wide-eyed fear.All of them turned toward their leader — Tobin Jacobs.But Tobin himself was frozen. His hands twitched at his sides, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard. He couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.That man… that monster… had dismantled his men like they were nothing.Jaden hadn’t even looked serious — no strained muscles, no heavy breathing, no wasted movement. His calm, unbothered demeanor only made him more terrifying. It was as if none of this mattered to him. As if he were merely stretching his legs after lunch.He didn’t fight like a man struggling to survive. He moved like a king swatting at flies.Tobin’s pride twisted painfully in his gut.He had fought countless battles and carved his name into the underworld with blood. People called him the Hundred
Chapter 712
Harri’s trembling voice echoed through the chaos. “H-He’s… he’s in the fitting room over there!”The moment the words left his lips, heavy footsteps thundered down the hallway. The sound multiplied — not one or two men, but an entire group closing in fast.Selena’s heartbeat spiked. She instinctively clutched Jaden’s arm, her eyes wide with fear. “It looks like someone is out to get you!”Jaden’s expression darkened, irritation flashing across his features. Of all the times… He had finally been enjoying a rare, intimate moment with his wife — and now a group of thugs had decided to ruin it. His patience snapped like a twig underfoot.“Don’t worry,” he said coolly, tilting his head toward her with a calm smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “It’s just a pack of rabid dogs. I’ll deal with them quickly.”The door burst open with a deafening crash. A tall, broad-shouldered man in a leather jacket stepped forward — Tobin Jacobs. His scarred face twisted into a cruel grin as he surveyed the sc
Chapter 711
They’d come to Harri Lynch’s atelier for two things: flawless tailoring and discretion. Harri Lynch was famous for turning simple fabric into statements — and for treating high-profile clients like family. Today, the goal was two custom skirt suits for Selena, something crisp and powerful for the upcoming factory launches.Harri himself greeted them, warm and efficient. He chatted while he fetched his measuring tape and sketches, then asked with a conspiratorial smile, “Selena, let’s take your measurements. It’ll only take a few minutes.”Selena flushed — partly from the attention, partly from the idea of being measured after so long. “It’s been a while,” she admitted, twisting a ring on her finger.Harri lowered his voice, indulgent. “We need precise numbers. But our female fitters have stepped out to lunch. I don’t want anyone else measuring you for accuracy — and for comfort. Is your husband okay to help?”Selena’s face went another shade red. Jaden’s expression never changed; he o

Finley’s grin widened, slow and deliberate, his tone carrying that mix of arrogance and mockery he was famous for.“Selena Verrick is quite the beauty,” he said, eyes narrowing with amusement. “Honestly, even half the models and actresses plastered across billboards can’t compete with her. The woman’s got that... rare kind of allure.”Carley’s head snapped toward him, irritation flashing in her eyes. “What are you trying to say, Finley?”He gave a small, knowing shrug. “Nothing outrageous. Just a simple truth—beauty is a powerful weapon. Men lose their heads over a pretty face all the time. Who’s to say Professor Manuel didn’t?”Carley’s jaw tightened. “You’re implying that Selena seduced Professor Manuel? That she used her looks to get the vaccine rights?”Finley smirked. “I’m saying it’s the only explanation that fits. That professor’s not a fool—he’d never give such a lucrative deal to a small company like Rift Corporations unless something personal clouded his judgment.”Carley le
