The hospital corridors were eerily quiet. The hum of fluorescent lights filled the still air, and the faint scent of disinfectant lingered like a ghost. Most of the day staff had already gone home, leaving only a handful of night-shift workers scattered about.

Even the emergency department, usually alive with noise and chaos, looked deserted. A few patients dozed in wheelchairs, their soft groans echoing faintly. The flickering sign above the nurses’ station blinked red, but no one seemed to be in a rush.

On one of the benches in the waiting area sat Selena, Nora, and Mia, their faces heavy with frustration and worry. Between them sat Vane, his head slightly bowed, his shirt stained with blood. His face was swollen, one eye darkened from bruising, a thin stream of blood still trickling from his nose.

The door to the emergency room was firmly shut. Behind it, no one was coming or going.

When Jaden and Morganna stepped through the automatic doors, the air shifted. Selena looked up insta

The doors swung open one by one.A tall, broad-shouldered man in combat boots stepped out first, his cold gaze sweeping over the crumbling estate. His aura alone was enough to make the few remaining guards stiffen and swallow hard.Behind him, over a dozen men in tactical gear followed, each exuding the quiet menace of seasoned killers.The man leading them was none other than Zander Ortega—George Ortega’s illegitimate son.Years ago, George had tried more than once to officially bring him into the family and register him as an Ortega. But the wound of abandonment never healed. Zander’s mother had been ignored and discarded, left to die in poverty, and the boy never forgave his father for it.So when George came calling—pleading, bribing, begging—Zander refused every time.He didn’t need the Ortega name. He would build one of his own.Growing up in the gutters of Ironvale’s slums, he’d learned to fight before he learned to read. Every scar on his knuckles was a memory of a street batt

Finley was completely dumbfounded by Jaden’s attitude.The air in the spa seemed to freeze over. The name Leon Nagger—the King of the South—was one that made even seasoned warlords shudder. But Jaden? He didn’t even blink.Finley’s mouth twitched, unsure if he’d just met the bravest man alive… or the stupidest.Was Jaden ignorant of what that name meant? Or was he simply fearless to the point of madness?“What about the King of the South?” Jaden said lightly, almost amused. “Even if he were standing here in person, if I told him to kneel—he wouldn’t dare remain standing.”The silence that followed was deafening.Finley, Tobin, and the rest of their men froze mid-breath, eyes wide, disbelief painted across their faces.This man—this lone wolf who had just waltzed into their stronghold—had openly declared himself above Leon Nagger.Tobin’s hands trembled at his sides. “He… he’s insane,” he muttered under his breath.Finley’s face contorted in fury and disbelief. “You arrogant bastard!”

Jaden’s gaze was calm—so calm it was almost terrifying. His voice, though soft, carried through the entire spa hall like thunder rumbling in a closed valley.“Ever since Lazarus Ortega provoked me,” he began, “I’ve been giving your family chance after chance. I turned a blind eye to your arrogance, ignored your petty games, even when your men came sniffing around my doorstep.”His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them. “But you Ortegas seem to have a talent for digging your own graves. Every time I let you live, you come back crawling out of the dirt to test my patience again—and now…”Jaden took one deliberate step forward. The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.“…now you’ve crossed the line. You tried to harm my family. That,” he said, his tone like sharpened steel, “is something I will never forgive. This is the end of the road for the Ortegas.”Finley’s expression shifted from rage to shock, then to forced bravado. His chest heaved, but he

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
Chapter 713
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
