Chapter 52: The Broken Pride
"Young Master... the Whitemore family elders have received the transfer. We did not know you were the one holding the account."The enforcer's low, respectful words echoed through the hallway.Odette's face went completely blank. Her jaw hung open, her mind refusing to accept what she was seeing. Sloane staggered backward, her body shaking as she stared at the cloaked enforcer bowing before Riven."Are you insane?!" Odette suddenly shrieked, her voice cracking with panic. She rushed forward, grabbing the enforcer's sleeve. "Why are you bowing to him?! He is a nobody! A penniless delivery boy! A dog who lived on my family's charity for three years! You are supposed to break his legs and demand the fifty million dollars!"The enforcer turned his head slowly. His sharp eyes glared down at Odette, filled with icy disgust.With a flick of his arm, he shoved Odette away. She tumbled to the floor with a loud gasp, her dress tearing along the side."Silence, woman," the enforcer barked, his v
Chapter 51: The Blood Debt
"Pay fifty million dollars to the Whitemores by tomorrow night, or their enforcers will hunt you down and tear you apart piece by piece!"Odette screamed the words right into Riven's face, her eyes wild with triumph. She truly believed she had finally trapped him. In her mind, fifty million dollars was a mountain of gold that a former delivery driver could never climb in a lifetime.Riven did not blink. He kept his right hand firmly around her wrist, preventing her from pulling away.Sloane stumbled forward from behind her mother, her face still stained with tears, but a cruel smirk slowly replaced her despair. She wiped her cheeks and stood up straight, staring at Riven with the same old mocking arrogance."Did you really think you won everything, Riven?" Sloane spat, her voice dripping with spite. She crossed her arms and sneered at his suit. "You played a clever trick with the stock market today. You used some borrowed money to crush Vespera Corp. But debts to the Whitemore family
Chapter 50: The Final Debt (part 2)
Lysander slowly stood up until his spine hit the window. His face turned bright red, the veins in his neck bulging as pure rage replaced his shock. He didn't beg. Instead, he kicked a chair out of his way and glared at Riven with hatred."Touch me and you're dead!" Lysander roared at the officers, shoving his hands into his pockets. He turned his glare back to Riven, sneering wildly. "You think you won, you arrogant bastard?! You think crashing a stock price makes you a god?!"Riven met his gaze, completely unbothered. "Your mercenaries are broken, Lysander. Your money is gone. You lost.""Lost?!" Lysander laughed hysterically, his eyes wide and bloodshot. "You have no idea who my family is, you arrogant piece of trash! You think a little financial trick scares the Sterling family?! We have connections in the government, the military, and the underground world that you couldn't even imagine! My father will have me out of these cuffs before sunset!"Lysander shoved past the officers, s
Chapter 50: The Final Debt (part 1)
"Vespera Corp is completely bankrupt. And Lysander, the financial bureau is here to arrest you for illegal market manipulation and corporate kidnapping."Riven's words hung in the silence of the boardroom like a heavy blade.Sloane stood frozen behind her chair, her face drained of all color. Her eyes darted between Riven's black suit, his cold expression, and the four officers standing behind him.A second later, a shrill, hysterical laugh burst from her lips."Is this a joke?!" Sloane spat, her trembling voice turning sharp and vicious as she tried to hide her terror. She pointed a shaking finger directly at Riven's face. "Look at you, playing dress-up in a nice suit! Do you really think coming in here with a few fake police officers and a fake chart makes you a big man, Riven? You are a pathetic, penniless loser! You were a useless delivery boy when I married you, and you are still a worthless dog today!"Riven did not flinch. He simply stood there, his hands resting casually in hi
Chapter 49: The Counterattack
Lysander stared at his phone in shock, his face turning pale. Before he could call the mercenary team back to figure out what went wrong, the screen went black as Riven ended the call.Sitting across from him in the office at Vespera Corp, Sloane noticed his sudden change in expression. "Lysander? What happened? Did your people get the card from Riven?""He found her," Lysander muttered, his voice shaking slightly as he set the phone on the desk. "He defeated eight trained men in less than twenty minutes and rescued the girl.""What?" Sloane stood up abruptly, her eyes wide with disbelief. "How is that even possible? Riven was just a broke delivery driver! How could he defeat professional mercenaries by himself?""It doesn't matter," Lysander snapped, trying to regain his composure. He clenched his fists, forcing a dark sneer onto his face. "So what if he can fight? This is the corporate world. Physical strength means nothing against billions of dollars. Our short-selling strategy is
Chapter 48: Absolute Suppression
The leader of the mercenary group sneered, stepping away from Clara and raising her blade toward Riven. "Arrogant fool! Kill him!"Four men in dark tactical gear lunged forward at once. Two swung iron rods toward Riven's head, while the other two drew knives, aiming straight for his chest. Their movements were swift and deadly, polished through years of real combat.Riven did not move an inch until the weapons were inches from his skin.His eyes flashed with a cold light. Riven raised his right hand, his fingers moving faster than a shadow. He caught the first man's wrist, twisted it with a sharp snap, and ripped the iron rod from his grasp. In the same motion, Riven swept the rod in a low arc.A dull crunch echoed through the warehouse.The iron rod struck the knees of two men, shattering bone instantly. They collapsed to the floor, screaming in agony as their weapons fell from their hands.Before the fourth man could even process what had happened, Riven stepped into his space. He s
