Blake Mansion — That Evening

Thunder cracked across the night sky, shaking the glass panes of the Blake mansion. Rain slammed against the windows like fists, drowning the silence inside in a relentless, pounding rhythm.

But nothing—not even the storm—could match the fury brewing within those walls.

Andrew lay on the massive bed in the center of the room, body pale, drenched in cold sweat. The sheets were crumpled and bloodstained near his thighs. His breathing came in shallow gasps. Monitors beeped beside him, tracking his unstable vitals.

A team of doctors hovered, their faces grim. The chief surgeon finally stepped back, his gloves red. “We’ve done all we can,” he said, voice low. “The internal trauma was… extensive.”

Mr. Blake’s eyes narrowed. “How bad?”

The surgeon hesitated. Then: “He’s infertile. It’s permanent.”

The words fell like a bomb.

Mrs. Blake let out a sound between a scream and a gasp, staggering backward until she hit the dresser. “No… no, that’s not possible. He’s on

    “I’ll gather thousands from Okade,” Nemesis Thorne said, voice hard as iron. “We will crush Jaden Rift and Morix Sable under our numbers. Let them see what happens when the Ortega family moves.”Nightreaper did not mirror Nemesis’s fury. He stayed low and measured, the kind of man who feared waste more than battle. “We could,” he said slowly, “but you must remember there is that chief training soldiers in Ironvale City now.”Nemesis narrowed his eyes. “You mean that Northern chief? That won’t stop us.”Nightreaper shook his head. “It should. If we make a major move here and draw that chief’s attention, we risk bringing down the heavy hand of the state. Remember Black Monarch. Remember Kent Duvan. Those were messy losses. We cannot afford to repeat them.”Nemesis’s jaw tightened. The old wounds stung. He had never liked the idea that someone else could interfere with the Ortega family’s reach, but Nightreaper was right. A direct assault that attracted national forces would cost them fa

    Nightreaper stood tall before Nemesis Thorne, his massive frame casting a shadow across the room. His voice was low and steady, but it carried a hint of unease. “There’s a problem, boss.”Nemesis sat lounging in his chair, a cigarette dangling lazily between his fingers. He took a slow drag, exhaling smoke in a thin stream as his eyes narrowed. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his tone deceptively calm.“Both Ponytail and Brutal Flame are in trouble,” Nightreaper said flatly.Nemesis’s frown deepened, his gaze sharpening. “Wait a damn minute. Weren’t Brutal Flame and his men supposed to get rid of Elias Verrick and film his death? What the hell did he get himself into?”Nightreaper’s eyes were grim. “Ponytail and his men never returned. We’ve lost all contact with them.”Nemesis sat up straighter, his cigarette pausing halfway to his lips. “Then where’s Elias Verrick?”“I already had someone check,” Nightreaper replied. “Elias Verrick is alive and safe at home. Which means Ponytail and his c

    Jaden moved like lightning, his every strike precise and devastating. Each kick, punch, and sweep sent Brutal Flame’s henchmen flying or crashing into walls. The sound of groans, cracks, and thuds filled the office as one by one, they fell to the floor, writhing in pain. Despite being outnumbered, they were no match for Jaden.It was over almost as quickly as it had begun. Less than two minutes had passed, and all thirty men lay scattered across the room, moaning and clutching their injuries. Their coordinated attack had turned into a complete disaster.Selena, having seen Jaden’s abilities before, remained calm, though her heart still skipped a beat. She had long since learned not to underestimate him. But for Vane, Nora, Fera, and the group of executives, the sight was almost unreal. They stared at Jaden in disbelief.“This… this guy is way too skilled,” Vane muttered under his breath. “How can one person take down thirty men like that?”Selena rushed over to Jaden, concern etched a

    The moment Brutal Flame finished his words, the thirty men behind him raised their machetes, iron bars, and clubs, and stormed forward like a pack of rabid wolves. In an instant, the office descended into chaos—the crash of shattering glass, the splintering of wood, and the metallic clang of weapons striking furniture filled the air. Desks toppled over, chairs shattered, and stacks of documents scattered like snow in a storm.Employees screamed as they scrambled out of harm’s way, some ducking under tables, others rushing for the exits, their faces pale with terror. The once-pristine office now looked like a battlefield.Vane trembled, his fists clenched, though his voice quivered with both rage and helplessness. “You bl**dy hooligans! How dare you wreck my company!?” he roared, but his anger was almost drowned out by the deafening noise of destruction.Brutal Flame cut through the chaos like a predator, his eyes burning with cruelty and a wicked grin plastered across his face. “I won

    Vane was stunned, his mind racing. “That’s impossible!” he exclaimed, his voice trembling with disbelief. “Why would my dad ask me to manage the company if he has already given it to the Ortega family? It doesn’t make sense!”Nora and Selena exchanged confused glances, clearly sharing Vane’s incredulity. “How could Dad do that?” Nora muttered, her tone a mix of frustration and worry.Jaden remained silent, though inside he sighed heavily. Isn’t it obvious, my foolish father-in-law? he thought. Your father isn’t stupid—he’s just using Vane as a pawn to deal with the Ortega family without directly exposing himself. This is all part of the plan.Brutal Flame slammed a piece of paper on the office desk, making Vane jump. “Open your eyes wide,” he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. “This is a letter from your old man himself. Read it carefully and accept reality.”Vane picked up the letter, his hands trembling slightly. As he scanned the contents, his eyes widened in disbelief. It

    Vane turned to look at Jaden, who was standing protectively next to Selena. “You’re right,” he said with a chuckle, though his voice carried both relief and awe. “If you hadn’t rescued Uncle Elias from the kidnappers, Dad and the others would never have let go of the past. I wouldn’t be sitting here as the General Manager of Helix Group today.”Jaden shook his head with a small smile. “That’s not true, Vane. You’ve earned this. You’re the second son of the Verrick clan, and it was only natural that you should take charge of this company. I only cleared the path.”Selena’s smile widened as she stepped closer to Vane. “Dad, now that Grandpa has entrusted you with such responsibility, you need to manage Helix group properly and prove yourself. This isn’t just about the money or the title—it’s about honor and family legacy.”Vane inhaled deeply, ready to respond with a bold declaration of how he would lead the company. But before he could speak, Fera rushed into the office, her face pale
