But Jaden’s eyes suddenly sharpened again—dark and unblinking.
“Then I’ll deal with Elder Dusk,” he said coldly. “And after that… the Thornfell family is next.” With a single wave of his hands a sharp gust of energy swept through the area like an invisible sword smashing through the thugs killing them in an instant as their blood plastered everywhere. Paul was the only one spared-or at least for now. His smirked vanished as blood ran through his face. “This is all a misunderstanding please don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want I'll leave this place and never return. Please forgive me.” He pleaded as he bowed his head towards Jaden's feet. “Forgiveness? The King of War shows no mercy to anyone that disrespects him!” “The…are you the king of war?” Paul stammered, he'd heard stories of the legendary king of war who stopped the war and the savior of Karethwyn. “No you're bluffing, you can't be the…” Before he could finish his statement with a single swipe Jaden made his head explode. The soldiers were still working as instructed. Suddenly one of them soldiers walked to Jaden. “My king, as you instructed a piece of her ashes” He handed over a golden Urn, it was wrapped at the top with a piece of red clothing that seemed to be stained with decayed blood. “Thank you.” Jaden said as he took the Urn. The piece of cloth was the cloth his mother wore before she died that brutal way. He placed it on the ground and wrapped it with a blanket before carrying it up and giving it to the man. “Let's go pay Agatha a visit, today's her son's celebration. I'll make sure Agatha eats this ashes!” The man followed Jaden as they entered into one of the cars and zoomed off. –The White's prestigious Hotel– The White's hotel was among the top three most expensive hotels in Ravenmoor, only one percent of the one percent could afford such a place. Jaden’s car arrived at the entrance. He stepped out taking a view at the hotel, he clearly remembered this place. This used to be where his mother's family house was, before Agatha demolished it and built her hotel on the land. Not only did she take his mother's life, she also took her home. “My king, I can take care of these people you don't need to step in.” The man escorting Jaden said. He's Drax, a powerful warrior personally trained by Jaden, he alone could single-handedly kill hundred men. Jaden replied. “No, go back to check on the grave, I'll handle this myself.” He said as he took the Urn from him. He strode toward the banquet hall. Inside, the wealthy mingled beneath golden chandeliers, and elegantly dressed women filled the room. It was truly a venue for elites and prestigious families. All eyes turned as Jaden entered. Tall. Striking. Dangerous. “Who is that?” “He looks powerful… and loaded.” “He’s mine tonight,” one woman whispered, licking her lips. “You can tell he knows how to handle a woman.” But Jaden ignored them all. He walked straight to an empty table, slammed the urn down with a loud thud, and sat. He poured himself a glass of red wine, calm as ever. “He’s so cool,” a girl sighed. “I’ve never seen anyone like him in Ravenmoor.” “My prince charming,” another whispered dreamily. Security was quick to respond. Their leader, Xavier, approached with a frown. “Sir, this is a private event,” he said firmly. “Invitation only.” Jaden didn’t respond. Didn’t even glance at him. “I said, everyone needs an invitation and a gift to be allowed in. You barge in here, drink our wine like this is your father’s lounge, and you think that’s fine?” Xavier pointed at the wrapped item on the table. “And what’s that? We need to inspect it.” He reached for it. Jaden grabbed his wrist and crushed it with a single squeeze. “You’re not worthy to touch that,” he said coldly. “Aaagh! My hand—!”

The families at the scene were left dumbfounded. For a moment, they just stared at Jaden, their grief-stricken faces twisting in disbelief before erupting into scornful laughter and angry mutters. “Overclaiming? This isn’t overclaiming, this is a joke!” one man snapped. Another woman shook her head furiously. “The richest tycoon in the country offered ten billion and still couldn’t get Dr. Neon to lift a finger. And you’re telling us you can bring him here for ten bucks? Who the hell do you think you are? The Northern General himself?” Their voices cut through the corridor, harsh and unrelenting. Selena’s stomach tightened in panic. She could already feel the anger in the air boiling toward violence. She hurried forward, grabbing Jaden’s arm and forcing him back. “Jaden, please!” she begged, her eyes wide with desperation. “Stop this nonsense. You’re making things worse.” Her voice dropped, sharp with urgency. “If you keep talking like this, they’ll tear you apart.” Without givin

Selena Verrick could feel dozens of eyes drilling into her, eyes filled with desperation and fragile hope. The families of the injured were looking at her as if she were their only lifeline, their only chance to reach the legendary Dr. Neon.Her throat tightened. She wanted so badly to give them the answer they longed to hear, but lying to them would only make their pain worse when the truth surfaced. She steadied her voice, though it carried a heavy weight of guilt.“I know… I know all of you want nothing more than to see your loved ones saved. Believe me, that is also my greatest wish.” Her hands clenched tightly at her sides. “If this problem could be solved with money alone, I would spare no expense. But this—” she swallowed hard “—this is beyond me. It really isn’t within my power to bring Dr. Neon here.”The corridor filled with silence so thick it pressed on the chest. Then came the sound of muffled sobs. One woman covered her face and cried bitterly. Another sank to her knees,

Jaden stepped forward, positioning himself between Selena and the grieving families. His tall frame and commanding presence forced a brief pause in the chaos. His voice thundered through the sterile corridor, sharp and unwavering.“Enough! This is the ICU!” he barked. “Do you think shouting and creating a scene will help your loved ones? All it will do is stress them further and disrupt their treatment. If you really care for them, stand down and let the doctors work.”His words carried the weight of reason, but pain made the crowd stubborn.A tall-built man, his eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights, pushed forward. His voice cracked with grief as tears rolled down his rugged face. “Easy for you to say. Do you even know what it’s like to watch your brother dying? The doctor just told us… my brother may not make it through the night!”A ripple of anguish spread through the gathered families. One woman clutched her chest and sobbed uncontrollably, while an elderly father shook his head

Just then, a man in a black jacket arrived at the scene, flanked by several subordinates and uniformed policemen. His presence immediately shifted the atmosphere—orderly, stern, and heavy with authority.The man was none other than Luston Wood, Ironvale City’s second-in-command, a figure just one rank below the mayor. His sharp eyes swept across the chaos before landing squarely on Selena Verrick.“President Verrick,” Luston said gravely, his voice deep and commanding. “This is your company’s project. With such a serious accident occurring here, you will have to take responsibility.”Selena’s lips pressed into a pale line. She felt the weight of every camera still lurking nearby, of every gaze watching her. Summoning her courage, she bit her lip and answered firmly, “I will bear full responsibility. Whatever the consequences—be it financial compensation or even jail time—I am prepared to face them.”Her words, though resolute, revealed the strain in her voice.Luston’s eyes shifted to

The reporters surged forward, their voices sharp, each question cutting like a blade.“President Verrick, how do you plan to take responsibility for what happened at the construction site?”“President Verrick, we heard you were in the fashion industry before founding Rift Corporation. Now that such a massive accident has occurred under your management, do you think this is the result of your lack of expertise?”“President Verrick, what do you have to say to the injured workers or their families? Are you ready to resign?”Their words struck without mercy, echoing in the night like accusations in a courtroom. Microphones and cameras were thrust inches from Selena’s face, the flashing bulbs making her flinch as if under gunfire.Before she could even open her mouth, Jaden stepped forward, his presence cutting through the frenzy like a blade through cloth. His expression was stone-cold, his voice calm yet laced with steel.“Sorry. We have nothing to say at this moment,” he said firmly, sc

In a high-rise building a few hundred meters from the Greyfield Shopping Mall site, Lazarus Ortega stood before a wall of glass. The city lights glimmered beneath him, but his sharp gaze was locked on the smoke and flashing lights at the construction site in the distance.The phone pressed to his ear carried the voice of his hired hand.“I saw it already, Azul,” Lazarus said, his tone smooth and venomous, his lips curling into a cold smile. “You’ve done well. The money’s in your account—one million, as promised. For now, leave Ironvale City. Go underground, keep quiet. I’ll summon you again when you’re needed.”On the other end, Azul’s excitement was barely contained. “Yes, Mr. Ortega! Thank you, Mr. Ortega!”Lazarus ended the call without another word. He slid the phone into his pocket, his reflection in the glass looking back at him like a predator savoring blood. Below, the distant chaos unfolded—sirens screamed as police cars and ambulances tore through the streets toward the wrec
