Chapter 88: If I were you
As the men were about to pull their triggersâ âI wouldnât do that if I were you.â Johnnyâs voice wasnât raised. It wasnât urgent. It carried the same tone heâd used all morningâflat, almost boredâas his eyes tracked invisible lines only, he seemed to notice. The trajectory of the bullets. The angles. The ricochet paths.He could dodge them.All of them. But he also knew what they didnât. If he moved, someone else in the room would die. An assistant near the glass wall. A junior executive frozen behind a chair. Maybe even one of the guards themselves. Innocent blood spilled not out of intent, but incompetence. Johnny had learned long ago that survival wasnât just about living. It was about choosing who didnât have to die for it. Darren Cross stared at him. Not with rage. Not yet. For a long second, Darren simply lookedâreally lookedâat the man standing alone at the center of the room with guns trained on him and no fear on his face. âIs this funny to you?â Darren asked. T
Chapter 87: Darren
The executive floor of SilverCrest Holdings now had a particular kind of quietâmanufactured, expensive, hostile. The carpet swallowed footsteps. The glass walls reflected power back at itself. Even raised voices sounded moderated by money.And the guns never moved.They stayed trained on Johnnyâs chest, his head, his spineâthree different men, three different angles. Professional. Careful. Not shaking. The kind of stillness that told everyone in the room these werenât bluffing security contractors. These were people who had done this before.Johnny stood in the center of it all.Hands relaxed at his sides. Posture straight. Face calm.The room had formed a wide circle around him without anyone consciously deciding to step back. Executives. Assistants. Sector heads. A few interns frozen near the walls, unsure whether to look or pretend they werenât witnessing something that could end careersâor lives.Darren Cross stood near the center of the floor, jacket perfectly cut, cuffs immac
Chapter 86: Grateful
Time stretches. Johnnyâs finger settles against the trigger. Another realization surfacesânot a memory, but a truth he can no longer avoid. He is no longer innocent. That had ended the night he died and came back wrong. Since then, the world had felt thinner. Sharper. People too. Desire, fear, loyaltyânone of it hid well anymore. The Ultimate Harem System hadnât made him reckless. It had made him aware. Heâd seen how easily power moved. How quickly it traded hands. How often it wore charm instead of violence. Death took his fear. Coming back took his excuses. That was why his hand was steady now. Why the begging didnât move him. Why he could look at a broken man and feel nothing he hadnât already buried. He wasnât here to prove anything. He was just done pretending.Strangely enough, Johnny was grateful to them. To Darius, for showing him what power looked like when it rotted. For teaching him that authority was often just permission wrapped in a suit. For breaking him so
Chapter 85: The gun
Darius King doesnât fall so much as he gives up. His knees buckle, not from impact, but from realization. From the sudden understanding that whatever protected him for yearsâstatus, fear, rooms that closed when he enteredâhas stopped working. He sinks down, palms bracing against the carpet, shoulders caving inward. The suit that once made him look untouchable now hangs wrong on his body, wrinkled where it shouldnât be, pulled tight across a back that no longer knows how to stand straight. âIâm still the head here!â he snapped, voice louder than he felt. His hands trembled as they hovered uselessly. âYou donâtâYou canâtâknow what youâre doing!Everything stopped. The air itself seemed to stiffen. Johnnyâs fist hovered mid-motion, Dariusâ body rigid, the room suspended in disbelief. Armed men appeared, their boots heavy on the floor, guns trained. Every heartbeat was audible, every breath a thunderclap. Johnnyâs eyes scanned the barrels aimed at him. Each one a promise of instant
Chapter 84: : A gun
The gun is real.That is what breaks the room.Not the threat.Not the shouting.Not even Dariusâs face twisted with rage.Itâs the black metal aimed at a human forehead inside an office with glass walls and branded posters and quarterly reports still glowing on screens.Someone gasps.Someone else whispers, *âIs that a gun?â*Chairs scrape softly as people lean back without standing. Phones freeze mid-record. A woman near the conference table covers her mouth with both hands, eyes wide, body locked.Security is mentionedâhalf a sentence, unfinishedâbut no one moves. No one wants to be the first body between a bullet and a reputation.Dariusâs hand shakes just enough to notice if youâre looking for it.He laughs. Too fast. Too sharp.âYou thinkââ He scoffs. âYou think fists mean anything here?âHe angles the gun slightly, correcting his aim like itâs a presentation pointer.âAll that confidence,â he continues, voice too loud, too fast. âAll that posturing. Karate? Fists?â He snorts. â
Chapter 83: You will destroy me?
âYou will destroy me?âDarius King threw his head back and laughedâloud, sharp, theatrical. âYou hear that?â he said to no one in particular, spreading his arms. âDid everyone hear that?ââHe is going to destroy me?â he said, spreading his arms as if presenting a comedian to the room. The laughter didnât stay with him. It spread.A ripple firstâconfused chuckles from people who didnât know why they were laughing but understood they were supposed to. Then louder. Freer. Someone near the printers snorted. Another person actually clapped once before catching themselves.Phones came out. Subtle at first. Then less subtle.Johnny stood where he was.Still. Straight. Hands at his sides.A statue dropped into the middle of a circus.âYouâll pay.â Johnny said again It didnât sound dramatic. It didnât rise. It didnât shake.That was why the nearest people leaned in without realizing it.Darius blinked once. âIâm sorry?âJohnny continued, voice level. âYouâll eat your words. Youâll beg. And
