55. The Nightless City
The attack never got to Elias. The blade was destined for Elias’s back but Elias didn’t even turn around. He shifted his weight slightly and drove his elbow backward with terrifying accuracy, and the impact landed squarely on the twin's chest. The force threw him and his body slammed into the concrete with a sound that made the whole building tremble. Lucien dropped to the ground, staring in disbelief. Then Elias turned slowly and whatever restraint he had shown earlier was gone, with his expression shifting into rage. “I warned you,” Elias said quietly. “I warned you not to mess with me.” He stepped forward. Lucien scrambled backward, trying to create distance between himself and the approaching figure. But Elias moved towards the limp twin, grabbed him by the collar and yanked him up effortlessly, lifting him off the ground like dead weight, his feet kicking uselessly in the air. Elias leaned in close and locked eyes with him. “You had a chance to walk away,” he said evenly
54. The Twins Of Death
Lucien finally lost his composure, rage flashing across his face as he looked down at Corvin’s lifeless body. “How dare you,” he snapped with outrage. “You shed blood in front of me like it’s nothing and you still have the guts to speak!”He lifted his hand and pointed straight at Elias. “Kill him.” The Twins of Death moved instantly. Their fans snapped fully open, the blades glinting as they split apart and circled Elias from both sides. One went left, the other right. Their steps were light, almost floating. Elias exhaled slowly. The first twin struck. The fan sliced through the air toward Elias’s neck, but Elias tilted his head a fraction and stepped back, the blade missed him by inches. Before the twin could recover, the second one came in low, aiming for Elias’s ribs. Elias twisted, grabbed the wrist mid-motion, and slammed his elbow into the twin’s shoulder. The impact sent a dull crack through the building. The twin staggered back, his eyes widening behind the mask. In
53. The Spoilt Heir Wants a Bite
The man walked confidently into the unfinished building, not surprised by the bodies sprawled across the floor. He entered, took a quick glance at Elias, before moving to the window. This was Lucien Virel. The son of one of the top three ruling families of the city. His Family don't just influence business or politics, they decide those who play the game as well. Lucien’s parents sat at the very peak of that hierarchy. Again, his gaze moved across the scene, from the fallen men, to Corvin frozen on the floor, with Elias’s dagger at his throat. Then he glanced at the entrance. As if on cue, two figures walked in quietly, their footsteps so light they barely registered against the concrete floor. They were dressed in fitted black, head to toe. They wore masks that covered their faces. The Twins of Death. They were holding Chinese hand fans, folded neatly. At first glance, the fans looked ceremonial, almost elegant. But anyone who knew better understood the lie in that appearance.
52. A New Bidder
Corvin didn’t stop there. The more Elias listened without reacting, the more he seemed to enjoy himself. He spread his arms slightly and started bragging. “You know,” he said, his voice carrying easily through the building. “I don’t just deal in power, i deal in people too.” Elias’s eyes sharpened. “I move humans the way others move weapons,” Corvin continued. “As in Human trafficking. You know what that means right?” He chuckled and winked.Elias said nothing. Corvin leaned closer and lowered his voice. “And you’re the finest gift I’ve seen in years. A Monarch Crown Bearer with no leash.” He shook his head slowly. “Do you know how much someone like you is worth? Alive or dead?” The wounded man beside him remained still. “When I kill,” Corvin went on, almost proudly, “I don’t rush it. I take my time. I cut people into pieces. Bit by bit. That’s my signature. I do whatever i do to make a statement.” He smiled thinly. “But out of respect for the Crown, I’ll be generous.” He strai
51. The $20B Bounty
In the dead of the night, Elias stood inside the skeleton of an unfinished building on the edge of Greenville city, with his hands in his pockets. After standing for almost an hour, deliberate footsteps echoed from the far end of the structure, and a man wearing a long coat emerged from the darkness. “Punctual,” the man said lightly. “I like that.” Elias turned his head just enough to acknowledge him. “You’re the one who sent the message.” The man smiled. “Name’s Corvin Baines.” Corvin took a few steps closer, “I figured if anyone would come alone, it’d be you.” Elias didn’t reply. Suddenly, Elias sensed a deadly attack from where he was stood,, and he moved before the attack even existed. At that instant, a blade aimed straight for his spine flashed out of the darkness behind him, but it cut nothing but air. Elias twisted aside in one smooth motion and the dagger passed so close that he felt the wind of it. He pivoted, his elbow striking backward, forcing the attacker to stum
50. He is No Newbie
From where Elias stood, it became obvious to him that this was no longer something he could watch because the man wasn’t just aiming to overpower Vanessa, he was forcing her backward toward a corner where she'd be stuck, with the aim of finishing her off. Elias’s eyes widened the moment he saw what the man was planning. He saw the sudden shift in the his stance, and a subtle twist of the wrist. Immediately, he read his intent, and he realized his plan was to strike Vanessa in a place where she'd be unable to move again. As if on cue, he angled his blade toward a vital point on Vanessa’s body, where no protective gear could reach.. Meanwhile, Vanessa was still sparring. By the time she realized the movement, it was too late enough to react. Suddenly, Elias moved swiftly from where he was standing at the edge of the hall, in the span of seconds, he crossed the distance that should’ve taken far longer because of the system. And before the man could complete the strike, Elias was the
