Chapter 68
The younger brother stood up, turned around, and walked toward the exit. He opened the heavy wooden door, stepped out into the hospital corridor, and pulled the door firmly shut behind him.The exact second the latch clicked into place, the warm, proud smile on the father’s face vanished instantly. It was replaced by a look of pure, toxic malice.Vaughn could not hold it in any longer. He threw his crutches to the floor, hopped forward on his one good leg, and collapsed against his father's bed."Dad! Please!" Vaughn begged frantically, tears streaming down his swollen face. "You cannot do this! You cannot give the empire to him! He is a bastard! He is a nobody! I am your eldest son! Please do not take my inheritance away!""Shut your mouth, you pathetic idiot," his father snapped viciously. The sudden venom in his voice made Vaughn flinch backward."But you just promised him!" Vaughn cried."It is a stalling tactic, you fool," the father sneered, his eyes practically burning with hat
Chapter 66
The blindingly white VIP hospital room was silent, except for the rhythmic hum of the heart monitor next to the bed.The crime boss lay completely immobilized in his heavy motorized wheelchair. Both of his arms were elevated in thick plaster casts, and his shattered legs were firmly bolted to the metal footrests. Every single movement sent blinding bolts of agony through his torso, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the suffocating terror he felt knowing Dane was still out there, entirely capable of walking into this hospital and finishing the job.The heavy wooden door to the suite swung open.Vaughn hobbled into the room on a fresh set of medical crutches provided by his bodyguards. He looked absolutely repulsive. His expensive clothes were coated in alleyway grime, smelling strongly of damp garbage and dirty street water. His face was swollen, his knuckles were bruised, and his eyes were completely bloodshot from crying. He had rushed straight back to the hospital after
Chapter 65
"Please! I did not mean to harm Mara! I swear to you!" Vaughn begged frantically, desperately searching for any excuse to save his own skin and his inheritance. He looked back over his shoulder and pointed a shaking, accusing finger directly at Lana. "It was her! She put me up to it! Lana orchestrated the entire attack!"Lana’s face turned bright crimson with pure, unadulterated fury. She could not believe Vaughn was throwing her under the bus in front of everyone."You lying, incompetent bastard!" Lana screamed, stomping her expensive heel on the dirty pavement. "I did not tell you to kidnap her! You are the one who hired the thugs!"Dane slowly shifted his gaze from the weeping man on the ground to the screaming woman on the sidewalk. He gave Lana a cold, dead stare. It was the absolute look of an apex predator staring down an injured, cornered animal.Lana’s furious shouting died in her throat. She instantly felt a terrifying chill run down her spine. The fake arrogance completely
Chapter 64
The yellow city taxi rattled as it crossed the invisible boundary line separating the glowing, pristine commercial district from the dark, decaying streets of the city slums. Dane sat in the back seat, staring out the window with cold, unreadable eyes. His hand rested lightly over his inner pocket, where the immensely powerful jade stone radiated a steady, comforting warmth against his chest.The taxi slowly pulled up to the curb outside Dane’s old apartment building. Dane paid the driver and stepped out into the humid night air. As soon as Dane’s shoes touched the cracked concrete, the shadows in the alleyway shifted. A group of large, intimidating men wearing tailored black suits stepped out from the darkness, completely blocking the narrow entrance to the apartment building. Their hands rested menacingly on their waistbands, silently threatening violence. They were Vaughn’s remaining bodyguards.Dane did not flinch. He did not break his stride. He simply stared at them, his aura
Chapter 63
Dane held the "Heart of the Mine" tightly in his closed fist. He could feel the intense, warm spiritual energy pulsing directly into his palm, syncing perfectly with his own heartbeat. It was an invaluable artifact, worth vastly more than any mafia empire or legitimate business in the city.He looked down at Vaughn's younger brother, who was still kneeling desperately on the concrete sidewalk outside the luxury hotel, waiting for a verdict.Dane’s mind was incredibly sharp. He recognized the immense power of the stone, but his calculating nature instantly spotted a massive logical flaw in the boy's story. People did not just give away artifacts of this magnitude for free."I have a question," Dane said, his voice cold and commanding in the quiet night air. "Stand up and look at me."The younger brother scrambled to his feet. He brushed the dirt off his knees and looked at Dane nervously."If this jade truly possesses the mystical power to heal the most grievous wounds and extend a per
Chapter 62
Dane walked out of the luxury hotel. The automatic glass doors slid shut behind him. He stepped onto the quiet sidewalk. He had just finished speaking with his butler and checking on Mara, and he needed fresh air to plan his next move against Vaughn's family.Suddenly, a figure stepped out from the shadows of the hotel parking garage.It was Vaughn's younger brother. The young man looked completely exhausted. His clothes were wrinkled, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He had spent the entire night hacking into the city's private traffic and security cameras just to track Dane’s exact movements from the mafia compound to this hotel.The second the younger brother saw Dane, he did not hesitate. He ran forward and dropped directly to his knees on the hard concrete. He leaned forward and slammed his forehead against the ground, performing a deep, desperate kowtow."Please!" the younger brother begged loudly. "Spare me! Spare my family!"Dane stopped walking. He looked down at the yo
