CHAPTER 86
The Cole Clinic felt even smaller with five people standing inside it. The single overhead light buzzed softly and the smell of the White Dragon Root decoction still lingered in the air. Master Frank looked around the cramped space, at the medicine shelves, the single bed, the floor pallets, and the portrait of Helen Cole hanging on the back wall, and cleared his throat."Young Master," Master Frank said carefully. "Perhaps we should find more suitable accommodations. I can arrange a secure location within the hour. Something with proper rooms, a perimeter, running hot water."Ethan sat down on the wooden stool beside the bed and shook his head."This clinic was left to me by my mother," Ethan said. "It is my home."Master Frank closed his mouth and nodded once. The matter was settled. He moved to the corner and stood with his back against the wall, his torn black coat still dripping, his posture as rigid and attentive as a guard dog that had finally found its master after seven years
CHAPTER 85 PART 2
"Compare that to the Morgan family," Ethan said. "I was married to Sophia for four years. My mother spent her final months in a hospital bed fighting for her life. And in all that time, Sophia never once visited her. Not once. Not even in the moment she drew her last breath."The study was so quiet the ticking of the desk clock sounded like a hammer striking an anvil."That is why I show the Morgan family no mercy," Ethan said. "And that is why the Harlow family keeps what it has."Slick Gary's smug expression collapsed. His face went from self satisfied to horrified in less than a second. He pushed himself off the bookshelf and jabbed a finger at Ethan."Hold on," Gary said. His voice climbed to a pitch that cracked at the edges. "I am still technically your father in law. Sophia is still my daughter. If you are being generous to the Harlows because of your mother's funeral, then the Mo
CHAPTER 85 PART 1
The study door closed with a soft click that sounded like a gavel coming down. The room was paneled in dark oak with bookshelves lining every wall and a heavy mahogany desk sitting beneath a green glass lamp. It smelled of old leather and pipe tobacco and the accumulated weight of fifty years of decisions made by one man.Victor Sr. did not make it to his desk. The moment the door shut, his knees buckled and he dropped to the floor in front of Ethan. His forehead nearly touched the carpet and his frail hands pressed flat on either side of his face."Young Master," Victor Sr. said. His voice trembled with a mixture of reverence and raw terror. "The Harlow family has served as Sect Managers of the Human Tower for three generations. Everything we have built belongs to the tower. I have been waiting my entire life for this moment."Victoria stared at her grandfather on the floor. She had never seen him kneel for anyone. Not once in her entire life. The shock lasted only a second before sh

Victor Sr. nodded. He walked slowly to the center of the hall, his frail legs steady despite the exhaustion carved into every line of his face. He stopped in front of Ronald and looked down at him with the quiet, terrible authority of a man who had built everything in this room from nothing and was now watching parts of it try to tear themselves apart."Ronald," Victor Sr. said. His voice was slow and deliberate, each word placed like a stone being laid into a wall. "You are stripped of all corporate positions within the Harlow family business, effective immediately."Ronald's face went white."Your family dividend shares are confiscated," Victor Sr. continued. "Every asset tied to your name within the Harlow holdings is now frozen."Ronald's body began to shake."You are expelled from this estate permanently," Victor Sr. said. "You may no longer claim the Harlow name. You may no longer identify yourself as a member of this family. From this moment forward, you are nothing to us."Ron
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
