CHAPTER 459
Immediately, Jason glanced at the buzzing phone on the table again, his jaw tightening slightly as the screen lit up—Derek.“That’s Derek,” he finally muttered, his tone flat but with a trace of unease.Soma, who was now pacing slightly in the living room, rolled her eyes and reached for the phone without waiting for Jason to react. “Then let’s end this noise once and for all.”She swiped to answer, pressing the phone to her ear. “Jason is busy,” she said sharply, not even offering a proper greeting. “Why are you calling him by this hour? Can’t it wait till morning?”There was a moment of silence on the other end.But Derek—he immediately recognized Soma’s voice. The moment he heard her speak, his expression tensed. He couldn’t afford to explain the truth—not to her. He knew Soma far too well. The moment she found out Jason’s life might be in danger, everything would unravel. She would be furious, and more than that—she would stand in the way of what needed to be done.So he forced a
CHAPTER 458
At that moment, hearing what the old man just said and feeling the firm grip on his wrist, Derek’s body stiffened. The old man’s hand wasn’t just heavy — it carried a pressure that felt ancient, suffocating, and layered with killing intent. A sharp chill ran through Derek’s arm, and instinctively, he knew this was not someone he could fight.His instincts screamed louder than reason. This man is dangerous… too dangerous.Even though Derek had just overpowered one of the strongest men in the room, the difference between him and this old man was like comparing a candle to a raging inferno. The faint spiritual energy radiating from the old man’s palm alone was enough to make Derek’s heartbeat slow. Every instinct in his body told him that if he even tried to retaliate, he might not survive the next few seconds.So, instead of resisting, Derek took a deep breath, forcing the tension in his body to fade. He clenched his jaw slightly, masking his fear behind a faint smirk. If there was one
CHAPTER 457
At that moment, before the guard—before the man—could even begin to process what had just happened, everything around him blurred into a terrifying flash of movement.Boom!Like a missile launching from the shadows, Derek’s fist tore through the space between them with such force that the very air cracked around it.The man’s body reacted before his mind did—his battle-hardened instincts flaring like fire alarms.Elbow up. Block. Survive.He didn’t even see the punch coming—he felt it. Felt it like a tidal wave about to crash into him.He had fought monsters before.He had stood toe to toe with beasts twice his size.But this… this was different, this wasn’t just strength, this was something else entirely.The moment Derek’s fist collided with his elbow, a thunderous shockwave exploded through the warehouse, and the man’s feet were lifted off the ground as if he were nothing but a ragdoll in the hands of a storm.His entire body went flying backward at an unnatural speed.Crack! He sl
CHAPTER 456
Upon hearing what Derek just said, the man froze mid-step.The echo of Derek’s voice still lingered in the air like smoke refusing to vanish.His eyes twitched. His body stilled. Something in him shivered—not from fear, but from something worse: disbelief.Slowly… very slowly… he turned around.His breath caught in his throat.There, standing tall through the settling dust, was Derek.Unmoving. Unshaken. Unbent.The very man who was supposed to be turned to ash. The very man who should’ve been nothing more than a memory now stood at the center of the wreckage like an immovable wall—his clothes fluttering from the aftermath of the attack, his arms relaxed by his sides, his expression unreadable.The man's pupils dilated.No bruises, no burns, not even a scratch.He blinked once, twice—still Derek stood, as calm and composed as before. The aura around him hadn't dimmed. If anything, it had intensified, now thicker, denser, darker.Impossible, that attack… that form… had erased enemies f
CHAPTER 455
At that moment, when Derek actually heard what the man was saying, his expression didn’t change. Not even a twitch. Instead, he slowly tilted his neck to the right until a loud crack echoed, then tilted it to the left, cracking it again. A faint smile curved across his lips not out of confidence, but out of sheer will. He rolled his shoulders back and slowly raised one arm, then the other, loosening them as if warming up for a jog and not a deathmatch. His fingers clenched and unclenched, and then, raising both arms, he motioned toward himself and said boldly, “Well, I’m expecting your strongest attack. Give me everything you have.”The man’s lips curled into a nasty smirk. He said nothing in return. He simply cracked his knuckles, tilted his head once, and suddenly raised one hand into the air. With just a small motion of his fingers—like a secret signal—the energy around him suddenly shifted.A sharp wind sliced through the space between them.Then it happened.In a blink, his hand—
CHAPTER 454
At that moment, hearing what Derek just said, the old man's brows arched slightly, and a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips. He was still seated, his fingers calmly drumming against the wooden armrest of his chair, but that single statement from Derek stirred a ripple of amusement across his face — and perhaps, just a touch of surprise.A challenge like that? From someone like Derek?The room grew tenser, the air thick with unspoken thoughts. The guards standing nearby blinked in disbelief, their hands inching toward their weapons as if expecting chaos to erupt any second. The right-hand bodyguard, the one Derek had pointed to earlier, glanced at the old man, awaiting the slightest nod.The old man tilted his head, still smiling. “And if you don’t win,” he said in a quiet, steady tone, “what then?” His voice was laced with curiosity — not because he didn’t already know what he would do, but because he wanted to hear it from Derek himself.Without hesitation, Derek took a step forwa
