Chapter 435
At that moment, Uncle Bernard’s body convulsed on the floor, a deep, wet cough tearing through his chest as blood splattered onto the tiles beneath him. His hand instinctively clutched his stomach as he struggled to breathe, each cough more violent than the last. He tried desperately tried to push himself up, his trembling arms pressing against the cold floor, but the moment he lifted himself even an inch, another surge of blood spilled from his mouth, forcing him back down.“Bernard!!”Immediately Deborah’s scream ripped through the air, raw and trembling. She dropped to her knees beside him, her hands shaking uncontrollably as she tried to steady him.“ Don't move, please stay with me!” she cried, tears welling in her eyes. “Please… are you okay? Look at me! Bernard, look at me!”Her fingers hovered helplessly over him, she didn’t know where to touch, what to do, terrified of hurting him even more.Beside them, Jessica froze she didn't even have the strength to say anything, she di

At that moment Jessica’s fingernails dug into the iron grip around her throat, but it was useless. Her kicks barely reached the man holding her up; her feet swayed helplessly in mid-air. The pressure around her neck tightened with every passing second, cutting off her air completely. Her face turned a deep crimson, her veins bulging across her forehead, eyes brimming with tears from the sheer pain and suffocation. Then a choked wheeze escaped her lips as her vision began to blur at the edges.The cold, unflinching eyes of Victoria’s uncle stared at her without pity. His arm remained steady, barely even straining under her weight. He lifted her higher, almost testing how long she could last before her body went limp.Just then, a loud gasp and frantic footsteps echoed from the hallway.“Jessica!”Immediately Uncle Bernard burst out into the open, his eyes widening in pure horror at the sight of his daughter dangling from another man’s hand, her face pale and her lips trembling. Immedi

At that moment, Victoria’s father pressed the phone more closer to his ear, his voice lowering into a stern but approving tone.“Good,” he muttered, the anger in his voice softening only slightly. “This is the kind of information I’ve been waiting for. This is what I expect from you.” He paused, exhaling slowly before continuing, his tone more deliberate now. “Remember, I trust you with this. I’ve placed so much faith in you, and I will not accept failure. These were my children… but they were yours too. And above all, this is about our family’s name. Our reputation comes first.”On the other end of the line, Victoria’s father’s brother nodded, even though his brother couldn’t see him. His jaw tightened, his expression unreadable as he responded in a low voice, “No problem brother. Soon, you’ll have the information you’ve been waiting for. I promise.”The call ended with a faint click.The younger brother lowered the phone slowly, his reflection flashing across the tinted window besid
Chapter 432
At that moment, Damien couldn’t bring himself to speak.The silence in his room felt heavy, almost sacred, as the faint glow under his skin pulsed softly. His chest rose and fell in deep, uneven breaths, but not from exhaustion anymore, from realization of what was going on.The power coursing through him wasn’t just overwhelming; it was beyond comprehension. It was unlike anything he had ever trained for, anything he had ever imagined.Even at twenty percent, his body trembled under the weight of it. The mere thought of what one hundred percent would feel like made his heart pound, not from fear, but from a dangerous exhilaration.Then at that moment a slow, almost disbelieving smile pulled at the corner of Damien’s lips.“If this… is just twenty percent,” he whispered to himself again, “then one hundred…”The thought alone was staggering. At full power, he wouldn’t just be unstoppable, he would ascend.Even the Supreme King, whose name struck awe and fear into countless hearts, now
Chapter 431
Deborah’s brows furrowed, confusion written all over her face.Damien noticed her glance, and his expression didn’t waver. His voice, calm but firm, cut through the tense silence.“Like I said before… it was an earthquake,” Damien said evenly. “I was just trying to arrange my stuffs. That’s why I didn’t open the door sooner.”Then he stepped forward slightly, his presence alone enough to quiet their whispers. There was something in his tone measured, controlled that demanded they stop prying.“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine,” he continued, locking eyes with each of them in turn. “So there’s no need to worry.”Jessica, who had been trembling moments ago, bit her lip nervously and looked down at her hands. Uncle Bernard, though still suspicious, held his tongue. Deborah’s lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to ask more questions, but Damien’s calm stare silenced her before she could speak.“You should all go and rest,” Damien added, softer now but no less firm. “Tomorrow… is goin
Chapter 430
Hearing what Damien had just said, Uncle Bernard didn’t move away from the door like the others seemed ready to. Instead, he kept his hand firmly pressed against the wood, his brows furrowed in quiet suspicion. Deep down, he knew Damien’s words didn’t match his tone. There was something there something buried beneath the calm reply Damien had given.He’s hiding something, Bernard thought to himself. I know that boy’s voice. Something’s wrong in there.Even as the thought settled in his chest, Deborah stood beside him, her hands tightly clasped together in prayer. Her lips moved without pause, a whisper barely audible over the faint creak of the house settling after the earlier tremors.“Please, God… let nothing happen to him,” she muttered, her eyes shut tightly. “He’s the only one left who can protect us. If he falls, we have nothing. We have no one.”She didn’t say it aloud, but the fear clawing at her chest was simple: without Damien, their survival in this spiraling chaos was impo
