Meanwhile, at Indigo’s grand entrance, the atmosphere was anything but welcoming.Larry stood there like a human barricade.Broad shoulders stretched the fabric of his black suit, veins bulging along his forearms. Years of brutal enforcement had carved violence into his posture. Anyone who saw him could tell at a glance that he was not hired to negotiate.The moment Jaden approached, Larry stepped forward and blocked the doorway completely.“I don’t care who invited you,” Larry said coldly. “Mr. Sultan left clear orders. No one else is allowed to enter today.”His eyes swept over Jaden with open contempt.“Turn around and leave. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”Jaden stopped in front of him.His expression did not change. There was no anger, no irritation, not even surprise. Just quiet composure.“I’m here to have lunch with my family,” Jaden replied evenly. “And I’ve never been denied entry anywhere.”He lifted his gaze slightly and met Larry’s eyes.“Today won’t be the first.”With t

Aladin and Felicia exchanged a glance before putting on deliberately mysterious expressions.“An outstanding man,” Aladin said slowly, savoring the words. “You’ll find out soon enough.”Morganna blinked, clearly surprised. “An outstanding man? Then… is it my brother-in-law?”The moment the words left her mouth, Aladin’s expression soured.Felicia scoffed openly, her lips curling with disdain. “Him? Don’t joke around. Your so-called brother-in-law is nothing but a kept man. All he knows how to do is fight. He has no status, no vision, and no future. Outstanding? He’s not even close.”The air around the table shifted.Selena and the others frowned immediately, displeasure clear on their faces. Even Morganna stiffened, ready to speak up for Jaden.Before she could, footsteps echoed from the entrance.A group of men in tailored black suits strode into the hall with confident precision. At their center was a tall figure with sharp features and an easy, arrogant smile.Shaggy Sultan.The mo

Later that night, Carl arrived at the airport in near silence.He did not bring an entourage. He did not make calls. He did not look back.The moment his private plane lifted off the runway, Ironvale was already behind him. Yet the humiliation burned hotter with every passing second. His defeat replayed in his mind over and over, each scene carving deeper into his pride.He swore silently that this matter was far from over.Almost as if fate itself was mocking him, less than an hour after Carl’s departure, another aircraft descended from the skies.This one was different.A sleek, luxurious private jet touched down at Ironvale International Airport with flawless precision. The moment its wheels hit the runway, a convoy of black luxury sedans rolled into position.Dozens of men in identical black suits poured out, moving with military precision.They unfurled a long, crimson red carpet from the foot of the jet’s stairs, smoothing every wrinkle, ensuring absolute perfection.This was no

Both Zachary and Howard were momentarily stunned.They had braced themselves for insults, threats, or some last act of intimidation. What they did not expect was this.Carl Rajar lowered his head.The room fell silent as he spoke in a hoarse, restrained voice. “Mr. Schulz. Mr. Sultan. I’m here to apologize for what happened to you. Everything that occurred was my fault.”He paused, clenched his fists, then continued, “I will compensate one billion to each of your families. I hope you can forgive me.”The words landed like thunder.For a moment, nobody spoke.Carl Rajar. The head of the Rajar family. One of the Southern Four. A man who had ruled Shadowmoor with fear for decades.He was apologizing.And paying.Both families stared at him as if they were dreaming.Zachary was the first to recover. His pale face flushed with excitement as he burst out laughing. “Haha! I told you all! I told you Mr. Rift was no ordinary man! Look at this. He even made Carl Rajar bow his head and apologize

Carl’s face darkened.Jaden Rift was not bargaining. He was setting a price tag on Carl’s life.Cold, hard cash.And worse, this was not an open negotiation. There would be no second chance, no counteroffers after the fact. If Jaden was satisfied, Carl lived. If not, Ironvale would become his grave.The realization pressed down on Carl’s chest like a stone.He took a slow breath, forcing himself to think. One billion was not a small number. Even for the Rajar family, it was painful. But money could be earned again. A life could not.Finally, he clenched his teeth and blurted out, “One billion. I’ll pay one billion for my life. That should be enough, right?”The hall fell silent.Carl watched Jaden closely, searching his face for any hint of approval.Instead, Jaden smiled.Not warmly. Not kindly.It was the smile of someone who had already decided the outcome.“That’s too little,” Jaden said calmly.Carl’s heart sank.Jaden continued, his tone casual, as though he were discussing a mi

Meanwhile, at the Rajar family villa at Imperial Mountain Villas.The night air was heavy with unease.Inside the extravagantly decorated main hall, Carl Rajar paced back and forth, his silk slippers slapping softly against the polished marble floor. Priceless paintings lined the walls. Crystal chandeliers glowed overhead. Yet none of it brought him comfort.Yoel should have reported back by now.Carl had already called him three times. No answer. He had tried again, then again. Each unanswered call tightened the knot in his chest.Something was wrong.Carl stopped pacing and clenched his fists. Yoel was not the type to miss a report. Neither were the Eighteen Hounds the type to fail so completely that not even one man could respond.A terrible possibility crept into his mind, and his breathing became uneven.At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the hall.One of his underlings rushed in, face pale, sweat dripping from his forehead.“Mr. Rajar!”Carl snapped, already i
