Chapter 801
Daniel’s bravado was paper thin. His hands shook, but he forced his voice to rise anyway.“I’ll give it to you, you’re a tough man! But this is the Eastern District of Ironvale, the territory of Mr. Richard. You’re dead now that you’ve caused trouble here!”The threat wasn’t confidence. It was desperation.Before anyone could respond, the sound of boots hammering up the stairs filled the hallway. The air shifted. Even the drunk patrons inside the other rooms went quiet. The incoming group carried the kind of energy that made normal people instinctively step back.Before the men even appeared, their leader barked out,“Who dares to be so impudent as to order me to kneel?”His voice was hard. Sharp. Arrogant.The thugs rounded the corner, and it took only one look to know who the leader was.Jack.The enforcer who handled Richard’s dirtiest work. The guy whose reputation usually made people shut their mouths before they even thought of causing trouble.Daniel lit up the moment he saw hi

At the noise spilling into the hallway, Jaden and the others stepped out of the private room.He moved without hesitation and planted himself in front of Selena, shielding her. One look at the scene told him everything he needed to know.His voice dropped cold. “Someone explain. Now.”The man in the floral shirt jabbed a finger at his half-drunk cousin. “I’m the boss here. Daniel. Your woman hit my cousin.”Selena fired back before Jaden even reacted. “He tried to touch me. He was being disgusting.”Daniel gave her a slow, mocking look, like she was wasting his time. “I didn’t see any of that. All I saw was you slapping him. So you are going to apologize and pay one hundred thousand for medical fees. If you don’t, I will strip you right here and show you what offensive actually means.”Jaden’s eyes narrowed into something sharp enough to cut.“A whole pack of you going after one woman. You think that makes you tough.”Daniel’s expression shifted. A colder edge slid in. He stepped clos
Chapter 799
Chuckling, Aladin leaned back in his chair, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “Have you completely forgotten about the young man who has been trying so hard to court our Morganna? Mr. Shaggy, remember him?”Felicia’s eyes lit up instantly. “Mr. Shaggy? You mean Shaggy Sultan? The heir to the Sultan family of the Southern Four? That Shaggy?”“That’s him,” Aladin said, a slow grin spreading across his face. “He’s always been fond of our Morganna. Polite, respectful, never stepped out of line. If we ask him for help with Rift… well, I’m sure he wouldn’t hesitate for a second.”Felicia leaned forward, her mind already spinning with possibilities. “You’re right. If anyone can help us deal with Jaden Rift without revealing our involvement, it would be him. This is perfect timing.”Aladin nodded, decisive. “Let’s call him immediately. The sooner, the better. We can frame this as just a casual favor, something small. He’ll bite, I’m sure of it.”Shaggy Sultan answered after only a few rings. E

He didn’t even make it three steps inside before his whole family surrounded him like an ambush. Selena was in front of him first, eyes wide, voice tight with panic. “Jaden, we saw everything from the window. You hit Phil so hard he spun. Then the police and military showed up. What did they want with you? What did they say? Did they threaten you?” She was almost wanting him to answer all the questions at the same time. Jaden slipped off his shoes, calm as ever. “Relax. Those weren’t random officers. They were the top brass. Exactly the kind of people you want handling matters like this. They were strict, fair, and they put Phil and Lance in their place. They apologized to me and left. That’s all.” He smiled. Selena let out a breath like she’d been underwater. “Good. I thought they were going to pull something or gang up on you.” Vane clapped Jaden’s shoulder, relieved. Nora nodded hard. “Thank God they were men with a spine. At least they know right from wrong.” Behind them,
Chapter 797
Franklin stepped in first, gripping Xander’s wrist before the belt could come down again. His voice was calm but carried the weight of an order. “Jones, the General already told you to stand down.”Zed followed immediately, tone tight. “Xander, you should be thanking the General for showing mercy. He didn’t have to.”That snapped Xander out of his rage. His eyes cleared and horror flooded in when he realized just how far he’d gone. He hauled Phil up by his collar, the kid hanging limp and half‑dead.“Apologize to the General. Now.” Xander roared. “If he doesn’t forgive you, I swear I’ll finish the job myself.”Phil couldn’t even stand on his own. Xander forced him forward, then dropped to his own knees before Jaden, voice raw, shaking with fear and regret.“General… I was blind. I didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me. I was a fool.”By then, Franklin, Zed, and the other officers had already formed a respectful line beside Jaden. Their attention shifted toward Lance, who looked like

Just then, a wave of engines tore through the street. Headlights cut across the yard as a full convoy slammed to a stop. Police cruisers. Military jeeps. Doors flew open and boots hit pavement in unison.Franklin Wilson, Xander Jones, and Zed Walker had arrived.Phil’s spine stiffened like he’d just seen salvation fall out of the sky. He staggered forward, half‑limping, half‑dragged by adrenaline. His face was a swollen, lopsided mess, yet he still forced out a pitiful cry for help.“Major‑General Wilson, Dad, Uncle… this bastard, Jaden Rift… he killed someone. He injured Captain Freeman and me. You have to stand up for us!”He sounded like a child running to complain after picking a fight he couldn’t win.The words barely left his mouth before Xander Jones’ expression twisted. His jaw clenched, eyes burning with something far more violent than anger.Xander lifted his hand and cracked a slap across Phil’s face that echoed through the entire yard.Smack.Phil’s head whipped sideways.
