2026-10-25 22:02:10The gymnasium was engulfed in an uproar that bordered on hysteria. The collective gasp of the spectators sucked the oxygen out of the room. No one—absolutely no one among the social elite of Northriver—had expected the outcome, nor the sheer audacity of Jack Brooks.
Connor Shaw, the feared Bullbane, stood trembling. His face was a mask of dark, thunderous fury. In all his years enforcing the will of the Myriad Dragons Chamber, he had never apologized to a soul. To bow his hea

Victor Zane, the King of Northriver, felt the blood drain from his face as a horrifying movie played in his mind.It was a reel of memories from his release day. The grand banquet. The fear. The overwhelming pressure of Jack Brooks.The incident at the Myriad Dragons Chamber had left deep psychological scars. That night, the man known as the "Invincible Victor" had tossed and turned in his silk sheets, drenched in cold sweat, haunted by nightmares of a young man with eyes like black holes.The next day, he had fallen ill.His private doctor diagnosed him with "Qi and blood deficiency caused by acute terror," bile reflux, and cardiac arrhythmia. For three days, the King of Northriver lay in bed with an IV drip in his arm, popping Nitroglycerin pills like candy just to keep his heart from exploding.He had just recovered. He was planning to find a way to apologize to Jack, maybe buy him dinner to smooth things over.And now?Less than a week later, h

"Ted Wolfe and Victor Zane are here!"The announcement rippled through the ballroom like a shockwave. Every breath in the room hitched. The noisy chatter died instantly, replaced by a silence so profound you could hear the air conditioning humming.All eyes turned to the entrance.Two men walked in.On the left was Ted Wolfe, the Richest Man in Northriver. He was known locally as a "Scholar-Merchant"—a man of culture and business. He always wore a smile, greeting everyone from CEOs to janitors with a nod. He seemed harmless, almost grandfatherly.But that was just a mask. A carefully crafted persona.Since the collapse of the Lynch Group, the Wolfe Group had ascended to the throne, amassing a fortune exceeding fifty billion dollars. The business world was a shark tank filled with blood and betrayal. A man like Ted Wolfe didn't get to the top by being nice. He got there by being sharper, colder, and more ruthless than the sharks.Behind that b

Jack Brooks moved with the terrifying efficiency of a thunderbolt.First, a slap that sent blood and teeth spraying like a red mist.Second, a brutal slam that introduced Ethan Wolfe's face to the unforgiving oak table.And finally, the coup de grâce. Jack pinned the idol's right hand to the wood and drove a steak knife through the center of his palm.SHNK.The blade bit deep, anchoring flesh to furniture.This sequence of violence stunned everyone into a frozen silence. Even Ruby Jordan, who had witnessed Jack's brutality before, felt a massive shiver run down her spine. It was as if she had been plunged naked into an ice cellar.She stared at the knife quivering in Ethan's hand.He really likes stabbing people's hands, Ruby thought, swallowing hard. First Mitch Lee with a fork, now Ethan Wolfe with a knife. This guy has a signature move.Tia Sutton, standing just a few feet away, felt her heart nearly explode from the shock. Her b

"I don't have the patience to bicker with a child," Jack Brooks said, meticulously wiping each of his fingers with a white napkin. He tossed the soiled cloth onto the table, his expression bored."Tell your father, Ted Wolfe, to roll over here. And tell him to do it on his knees."The ballroom of the Northriver International Hotel froze. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on reality.For a few seconds, there was no sound—no breathing, no clinking of glasses, no rustling of fabric. Just absolute, suffocating silence.Then, the dam broke."What the fuck... did I hear that right?""This guy... he isn't just arrogant. He's clinically insane! He's a lunatic!""Does he know who Ted Wolfe is? That's the Richest Man in Northriver! He controls half the city's economy! And this kid wants him to kneel? Who does he think he is? The Northern King? The Emperor?"The guests looked at Jack with eyes wide with disbelief and pity. They had

Ethan Wolfe, the top-tier traffic star ranked in the top three across the entire Republic. The golden goose of Ent-International. The VIP partner that Ted Wolfe, the richest man in Northriver, was desperate to sign.And now?He was having his face ground into a solid oak table by a man wearing cargo shorts.CRUNCH.The sound of the impact was like a thunderclap in a library. It resonated in the chests of everyone present, a visceral, bone-jarring noise that signaled the breaking of taboos.The ballroom spun. People felt dizzy, their vision darkening as the sheer impossibility of the scene assaulted their brains.Ruby Jordan's mouth fell open, her jaw practically unhinging. She stared at the brutalized idol, then at the calm, indifferent back of Jack Brooks.This is insane, Ruby thought, her heart racing. Ethan Wolfe isn't just a celebrity; he's a religion. A single selfie from him gets a million likes in ten minutes. If he sneezes, five million fan

At the lavish banquet hosted by Ted Wolfe, the richest man in Northriver, a shocking scene unfolded.Ethan Wolfe, the top-tier idol who had just signed a massive endorsement deal with the Wolfe Group, stood frozen in disbelief. His manager—the man who controlled his schedule, his image, and his dirty secrets—had just been slapped into oblivion by Jack Brooks.That slap wasn't just a physical blow; it was a thunderclap that shattered the social order of the room.The ballroom fell into a silence so deep it felt like a vacuum. The only sound was the wet, gurgling moan of Manager Wang, who lay amidst the ruins of the seafood buffet, covered in crushed ice and cocktail sauce.Clink.A champagne glass slipped from a socialite's hand and shattered on the marble floor. No one moved to clean it up. Most of the guests were staring with their mouths agape, their eyes wide with a mixture of horror and disbelief.Tia Sutton felt her heart stop. The bloo
