Hence, Jaden drove off with the Freeman family in his car, leaving the rest of his men behind to erase every trace of what had happened at the sawmill. By the time dawn broke, that place would look as though nothing violent had ever occurred there.

Back at the Verrick residence, Vane and Nora had been pacing nonstop.

Neither of them had been able to sit still. Nora’s phone never left her hand, her fingers clenched so tightly around it that her knuckles had turned white. Every sound outside made her heart leap into her throat.

When the car finally pulled into the driveway and the familiar figures stepped out, Nora’s legs nearly gave way in relief.

“Thank God,” she breathed, rushing forward. “Thank God you’re all alright!”

Vane followed closely behind, his eyes scanning Morganna and her parents anxiously, as though afraid that if he blinked, they might disappear again.

Morganna was still shaken, but the fear that had gripped her earlier was gone. She glanced instinctively toward Jaden,

    Shaggy let out a sharp laugh, his face full of ridicule.“What a load of hogwash. You really dare to claim you’ve attended a state banquet?”Jaden did not react to the mockery. He simply replied evenly, “Believe it or not, I have.”That calmness annoyed Aladin even more.He had worked hard to arrange this lunch. The goal was simple. Show Shaggy off. Elevate his status. Let Morganna see the gap between a real elite and a so-called brother-in-law who relied on brute force.He waved his hand impatiently. “Enough. We didn’t come here to listen to fantasies. Ask Chef Jake to serve the dishes now.”Shaggy nodded eagerly, eager to reclaim the spotlight.“Yes, let’s serve the food. Since he claims he knows what a state banquet looks like, we’ll show him the real thing.”At his signal, servers moved in swiftly and silently, like a well-trained unit.One exquisite dish after another was placed on the table.Baked French onion soup, its surface shimmering with melted cheese.Maryland crab cakes,

    Jaden smiled faintly, his expression relaxed and unbothered.“I walked in,” he said plainly.The simplicity of the answer irritated Shaggy instantly.“That’s impossible!” Shaggy snapped, his composure cracking. “I gave Larry strict orders. No one was allowed inside. Where is he?”Almost on cue, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance.Larry stumbled into the hall, his right arm hanging at an awkward angle. His face was twisted in pain, sweat pouring down his temples as he cradled his shattered shoulder.“Mr. Sultan,” Larry said through clenched teeth, his voice strained. “This man forced his way in. I tried to stop him… but he fractured my shoulder. I couldn’t hold him.”The hall fell silent.Every gaze snapped toward Jaden.Shaggy’s pupils shrank. His mouth fell open slightly before he caught himself. Larry was no ordinary bodyguard. He was a brutal enforcer who had broken bones and crushed men for a living.Yet he had been crippled in a single exchange.By this man?Impossible.T

    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
