CHAPTER 84 PART 1
Victor Sr. looked down at Ronald's trembling, kowtowing form and felt something heavy settle in his chest. It was not anger. It was something worse. Disappointment so deep it had gone past pain and come out the other side as nothing at all. He shook his head slowly and turned away.Victoria stepped forward and looked at the row of kneeling family members the way a person looks at insects that have crawled onto a dinner table."Five minutes ago you were telling my grandfather to go die so you could save your own skins," Victoria said. Her voice was steady and sharp enough to cut glass. "You called him stubborn. You called him selfish. You said his life was worth less than your comfort. And now you are on your knees crying like beaten dogs begging for scraps."Mrs. Hayes folded her arms and looked at Ronald specifically."You stood in the middle of this hall and led the charge," Mrs. Hayes said. "You told everyone to throw Victor Sr. to the wolves. You called Ethan delusional. You said
CHAPTER 83 PART 2
The Black Tiger Crew elites, twenty three men scattered around the edges of the hall, raised their weapons. Fingers found triggers. Barrels leveled at heads and chests and anything that moved.Master Frank's figure flickered.He did not move the way normal men moved. He did not run or lunge or charge. He simply ceased to exist in one location and began existing in another, and in the space between those two moments, the world changed.The first elite dropped with a puncture wound through the center of his forehead. No sound. No cry. Just a body folding to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. The second fell a fraction of a second later. Then the third. Then the fourth. Master Frank passed through them like a shadow moving through a room full of candles, and every candle he touched went dark.Henry's finger was on the trigger. The barrel was aimed at Ethan's chest. His hand squeezed.A puncture wound appeared in his forehead. His eyes went wide for a single instant, and
CHAPTER 83
The three words hung in the air like the last note of a funeral bell. Kill them all. The hall held its breath and the world seemed to stop spinning for a full second before the panic hit.Ian Watanabe was the first to break. His corporate composure, the last thin layer of dignity he had been clinging to like a man gripping the edge of a cliff, shattered completely. He stumbled forward with both hands raised and his voice climbing to a pitch that cracked the polished surface of every word."You cannot kill me," Ian screamed. His eyes were wild and spit flew from his lips. "I am a foreign dignitary. I represent the Watanabe Pharmaceutical Group on the international stage. If I die on American soil, it will cause a diplomatic crisis between two nations. You will bring consequences down on this entire city that no one can control."He was backing away as he spoke, his polished shoes sliding across the marble, and then his hand found Henry Bennett's shoulder. He grabbed the bigger man and
CHAPTER 82 PART 2
Henry's grin was completely gone. In its place was the raw, animal terror of a man watching a door close that he cannot reach. He threw himself forward and dropped to his knees in front of Master Frank, grabbing at the hem of the grandmaster's torn coat."Master Frank, please," Henry begged. His voice cracked and his eyes filled with desperate tears. "My son Chad. They killed my son. You have to avenge him. I brought you here to avenge my boy. Please."Master Frank stopped and looked down at the man kneeling at his feet."What was your son's name?" Master Frank asked."Chad," Henry said eagerly. "Chad Bennett. He was buried at Oakwood Cemetery. I can take you there after this is over. You can pay your respects and then...""Chad Bennett dared to offend the Human Tower Master," Master Frank said. His voice carried no sympathy, no warmth, no hesitation. "He deserved his death."Henry's face froze."I will not avenge him," Master Frank continued. He looked down at Henry with those flat,
CHAPTER 82 PART 1
Henry's face split into a grin so vicious it barely looked human. The moment Master Frank's black coat appeared in the doorway, every ounce of dread that had been crushing his chest evaporated. The grandmaster had arrived. The nightmare was over. Ethan Cole was finished.Ian Watanabe straightened his suit jacket and stepped forward. He bowed deeply from the waist, the kind of bow a corporate man gives only to someone he genuinely fears and respects."Master Frank," Ian said. His voice was smooth and dripping with deference. "Thank you for coming. Please, dispose of this man once and for all so we can proceed with our business."Ronald and his supporters had already swarmed around Richard near the entrance. Ronald clapped Richard on the shoulder and beamed at him like he was greeting a returning king."It is over," Ronald said. He was practically bouncing on his heels. "The moment the old man is dead, we put you in the chair. I have been saying for years that this family needed new lead
CHAPTER 81 PART 2
Ethan watched the scene unfold. He watched the family members who had been cowering thirty seconds ago now puffing out their chests and mocking the only people in the room who had tried to protect them. His expression shifted. Not anger. Something stranger. A glint appeared in his eyes, quiet and sharp, and the corner of his mouth turned upward by a fraction."What if the people who just arrived are actually on my side?" Ethan asked.His voice was calm. Almost amused.Ronald laughed so hard he nearly choked."On your side?" Ronald sputtered. He wiped tears from his eyes. "You delusional dog. Master Frank is a grandmaster sent by the Shadow Venom Order to kill you. Richard is his ally. They are here to finish the job, and when they are done, we are going to dance on your grave."He turned to the crowd and waved them toward the entrance."Come on," Ronald said. "Let us go welcome our saviors."The jubilant group pushed past Victoria and Mrs. Hayes without a second glance and began movin
