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
49. The Sword Club
“The stronger you become,” she continued, oblivious of the silence her words had caused for me. “the more attention you draw. Power doesn’t scare people into obedience, it makes them curious. And curiosity is dangerous.” She leaned forward. “You’ve already crossed lines. You killed Alphonsus. You dismantled Gerard, someone who held influence across finance, politics, and the old families. People are noticing.” Elias’s expression remained calm, but his eyes sharpened. “They won’t see you as a monarch trying to restore balance,” Vanessa went on. “They’ll see you as a threat to the order they’ve grown comfortable exploiting. And the moment they realize they can’t control you… they’ll try to confront you.” She smiled faintly, “Not because they think they can win. But because powerful people hate unanswered questions. And right now, you are the biggest one in the city.” Elias listened to everything Vanessa said, then gave a small shrug, “It’s fine,” he said calmly. “Let them come. If
48. History Of The Monarchs
The tension in the boardroom hadn’t even settled before the doors opened again, with uniformed city officers storming in, their attention fixed on Gerard Vale. For a brief moment, Gerard didn’t react. He just smiled, like this was just another interruption he could brush aside with a single phone call. But then, the lead officer stepped forward and spoke. “Gerard Vale,” he said clearly. “You are being charged with bribery, illegal asset transfers, falsifying shareholder documents, and money laundering through multiple shell companies.” His smile faltered. The officer glanced down at the file in his hands and continued reading listing dates, amounts, and company names Gerard had insisted didn’t exist. As the officer finished reading, all faces in the room drained of color, especially those who had directly conspired alongside him. Someone whispered, “This can’t be real…” Gerard tried to protest, insisting it was a setup and an abuse of power, but no one listened. Instead, they d
