Somewhere deep in the lush hills of Ravenmoor, hidden far from the city noise, stood an old estate — towering, regal, quiet.

But inside, it was far from silent.

The floor was marble, polished until it reflected light like glass. Two guards stood by the entrance, unmoving. Inside, a spiral staircase curved upward like a snake. The walls were decorated with ancient weapons, blood-soaked artifacts, and paintings of war.

From the far end of the corridor, she walked in.

  • 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

  • Ambush on Jaden Rift III

    Victor Halberg remained rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on the unconscious bodies of Vin and Jin. For the first time in years, genuine disbelief surfaced on his face. Those two had been among the finest assassins the Black Covenant had ever recruited. They had never failed a mission, never been defeated together, yet in less than five minutes they had been reduced to lifeless heaps on the marble floor. He slowly looked back at Jaden, unable to suppress the thought echoing inside his head. What kind of monster is this man?Before the silence could linger any longer, the doors around the hall burst open one after another. Heavy footsteps thundered across the marble floor as more than thirty heavily armed men stormed inside, their assault rifles raised without hesitation. In seconds, they spread into a perfect formation, surrounding Jaden from every direction. Red laser sights danced across his chest, forehead, and back while the metallic clicks of safeties being disengaged echoed thr

  • Ambush on Jaden Rift II

    Victor folded his hands behind his back, the confidence that had briefly vanished returning to his face. Seeing Jaden buried inside the shattered wall, he let out a long sigh before shaking his head in disappointment. “General Jaden Rift,” he said mockingly, “I truly expected more from the legendary King of War. The stories made you sound invincible.” His smile widened as he gestured toward the two silent men standing in the center of the room. “Do you know how difficult it was to find these two? Vin and Jin aren’t ordinary mercenaries. They were trained in South Korea from childhood, perfected one martial art their entire lives, and have completed every assassination mission they’ve ever accepted.” His eyes gleamed with pride. “Their average completion time is ten minutes. Ten minutes is all it takes for them to eliminate any target. I know you’re strong, General… but today is no different.” His words suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Victor’s confident smile slowly froze. The dust

  • Ambush on Jaden Rift

    The room fell into a suffocating silence.Jaden’s fingers remained wrapped tightly around Victor Halberg’s throat, lifting the older man slightly off the ground. Victor’s face had already turned red, the veins on his forehead bulging as he struggled to breathe, yet Jaden’s expression remained terrifyingly calm.“I asked you a question,” Jaden said coldly. “You butcher innocent civilians, turn human beings into experimental subjects, and then you dare invite me here to become your ally? Have you completely lost your mind?”Victor clawed at Jaden’s wrist, but the grip was like steel.The guards behind Victor exchanged panicked looks before rushing forward again.“Save Lord Victor!”Before they could even get close—BOOM!A blur exploded from Jaden’s left.Jaden’s instincts screamed.Without releasing Victor, he instantly raised his free arm.BANG!A monstrous fist crashed into his forearm with enough force to shake the entire room.The marble floor beneath Jaden’s feet shattered into sp

  • Let’s form an Alliance

    As Victor Halberg stepped into the grand banquet hall, countless influential figures immediately stood to greet him with respectful nods. Conversations quieted, glasses were raised, and smiles spread across the room as the feared leader of the Black Covenant casually acknowledged everyone with a polite gesture. Jaden, however, paid none of it any attention. His eyes slowly swept across the luxurious hall, silently observing every guest present. Hannah remained close beside him until Victor suddenly turned around with a faint smile.“Mr. Rift,” Victor said calmly, “would you mind accompanying me? There are certain matters I’d rather discuss in private.”Jaden glanced toward Hannah before giving her a reassuring nod.“I’ll be back shortly.”Hannah hesitated for a moment before smiling gently. “Alright. I’ll wait here.”Victor then led the way through a quiet corridor toward an elegantly decorated conference room hidden from the banquet. The moment both men entered, the heavy wooden door

  • Crowe Family Party V

    The moment people recognized him, whispers immediately spread through the crowd.“The leader of the Black Covenant…”“What is someone like him doing here personally?”Even Golden’s expression changed slightly.Victor walked forward with measured steps, his sharp eyes sweeping across the tense scene before finally settling on Jaden.“I believe,” he said calmly, “everyone has misunderstood something.”Silence fell.Victor clasped his hands behind his back.“Jaden Rift is my guest tonight.”His voice wasn’t loud.Yet every single person heard it clearly.“So while he remains within this estate…”He slowly looked around the crowd.“…no one will lay a finger on him.”The atmosphere instantly shifted.Harry’s confident smile froze.Even Elias couldn’t hide his surprise.Although he already knew Victor had ordered Jaden’s invitation, he never imagined the old fox would personally step forward to protect him.Golden clenched both fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his palms.“Mr.
