Chapter 017 – “Pervert! Who Are You and What Are You Doing In My Room?!”
*****Without even realizing it, Zach’s jaw tightened even harder, his fists clenched at his sides.The frustration surging through him was so intense that it nearly felt physical… like a blade lodged beneath his ribs.All these years, he had kept his chastity, touching no woman whatsoever.It wasn’t out of weakness or his inability.But instead, because of Michelle… and because no woman other than her had ever managed to cause the slightest ripple to his heart.But now, due to a moment of carelessness and vulnerability, he had…‘What do I do now…?’This question couldn’t help but suddenly echo in his head.Over the years, Zach had faced millions of armies and bloodbaths without blinking.He had also stood before countless enemies who could level cities and felt nothing but cold focus.He had always been cold, dominant, and emotionless. Yet here he was… seated frozen in a modest hotel room, feeling more disoriented than he had in years.The irony was bitter enough to choke
Chapter 016 – A Moment of Vulnerability
*****According to the woman, it was her mother’s twentieth death anniversary that day.However, not only had her father, stepmother, and half-siblings refused to commemorate it, but they had also outright forbidden her from doing so.Their excuse was simple, cruel, and delivered without shame… The family was in a celebratory season. Mourning, they said, would be inauspicious, bad luck, and a stain on happiness.So, the day her mother should have been remembered, honored, and spoken of with reverence… was erased.Worse still, her father and stepmother hadn’t even allowed anyone to mention it.Instead, the house had buzzed with preparations… flowers set in place, gifts neatly wrapped, and rooms scrubbed to perfection, all for the arrival of her sister’s fiancé, a high-ranking army commander due to return the very next day.As for herself?She was dragged into a sitting room and paraded in front of one scum after another… men with dubious histories, greedy eyes, and smiles that
Chapter 015 – The Unanticipated Club Encounter II
*****One of the men had grabbed the woman’s wrist while another had pressed in close behind her, trapping her completely.Her breath had hitched audibly over the music, panic flashing unrefined and unfiltered across her face.“Relax, doll... we’re not the bad guys. You looked lonely, so we figured we’d keep you company.”“Aww… are you scared? That’s kinda cute.”The group of men all exploded into wild, unhinged laughter, and… that was it.Zach had stopped walking.Then his grip had slowly tightened, his knuckles whitening.No matter how indifferent he felt, no matter how exhausted, and no matter how badly he wanted to numb his own mind… that had crossed a line.So, with a low sigh that carried more irritation than heroism, Zach had turned around, and what followed…It was quick, brutal, and efficient.He hadn’t shouted or threatened them.He had simply told them to let go of her. But unfortunately… they had overestimated their own strength. So, his fist slammed into sev
Chapter 014 – The Unanticipated Club Encounter
*****After reaching the hotel the previous night and getting into his room, Zach had wanted nothing more than to sleep; after all, his schedule for the following day was tightly packed… every hour accounted for.So, he had gone straight to bed even without eating, determined to squeeze every minute of sleep he could get.But… sleep had refused him.No matter how much he tried, his eyes wouldn’t stay closed.He had tossed and turned endlessly on the bed, the unfamiliar ceiling doing nothing to anchor his thoughts.Each time he closed his eyes, his memories of the city crept violently into his mind.Perhaps it was because he hadn’t returned in over a decade, or maybe the city itself remembered him.Either way, memories had come crashing down on him… unrefined, vivid, and merciless.He had recalled the streets, the faces, and worst… the way the city had swallowed everyone he loved, spitting out nothing but pain in return.For over two hours, memory after memory had assaulted h
Chapter 013 – The Unfamiliar Beauty
*****Before Zach could even form a complete thought, however, instinct seized control.His fist lashed out in a brutal punch, cutting through the air with explosive force, aimed straight at the figure in his duvet.The sheer power behind the strike alone instantly made even the small room shudder, the standing fan rattling in protest as if fearing for its life.But…Just an inch away from impact, Zach stopped.The murderous intent rolling off him didn’t fade, and the cold, dangerous glint in his eyes didn’t soften.His knuckles still hovered there, trembling with restrained violence.But then, slowly and cautiously, Zach withdrew his fist.Every muscle in his body remained tightly coiled, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Finally, with his other hand, he reached toward the duvet, his movements measured and deliberate. Then...He yanked the duvet back, prepared to strike again at the slightest sign of hostility or danger.In the following second, however…
Chapter 012 – Enemy? Who?
*****The following morning;Inside a modest room that looked more like a temporary shelter than a place meant for living, there was barely enough space to breathe comfortably.A narrow bed pressed against one of the walls, barely wide enough for a single person... or at most, two people pressed skin-to-skin.In the corner stood a slightly worn chair with uneven legs, one wrong move away from collapsing.A small bedside table sat empty beside the bed, coated in a week or so worth of dust.And finally, nearby, a standing fan rotated sluggishly, its joints dry and begging for oil, releasing an endless creeeak with each turn.At this moment, the room was shrouded in a silence so profound that it almost felt tangible... that even the faintest scrape of an ant on the carpet would have sounded deafening.The only thing breaking this silence right now was the slow, steady rhythm of calm breathing.But then…Craaack! Craaack!! Craaack!!!The sharp sounds of bones cracking suddenly
