104: A Beating Worth Remembering
The atmosphere in the hotel lobby remained tense even after Kai’s first warning. The guard, despite clearly shaken, straightened his back, clenched his fists, and stubbornly stepped forward again. His hesitation lasted only a moment—but under the piercing glare of his young master, it was enough.“You’re not going anywhere,” the guard said firmly, although the tremble in his voice betrayed him.Kai didn’t react at first. He stared blankly at the man, his expression unreadable. Then, slowly, he let out a tired sigh—long and dry, like someone bored of dealing with toddlers.“I was hoping to walk away tonight,” he muttered. “Guess that was asking too much.”He took a step closer, eyes narrowing slightly.“Get the fuck out of my face,” he said, calmly. The guard flinched. But before he could even weigh his options, the young master barked from behind him, “What are you waiting for? Restrain him!”That was the last straw.Kai didn’t wait.With a speed that seemed to blur the edges of the
103: You Will Get Rejected
The air in the luxurious hotel lobby shifted.Zora’s eyes twitched. Kai's jaw tightened.They had both just endured a cramped flight, a long ride across a city they didn’t know, and now—this clown? Kai didn’t move at first, just stared at the over-dressed brat like he was a stain on his boots.The manager came rushing down a flight of stairs the moment the loud demand echoed across the lobby. His shoes clicked against the marble, his smile oily and wide.“Sir! Sir! It would be our honor to clear the hotel for your private function,” the manager said, bowing so low it was almost embarrassing. “Your card will be processed immediately. Please, allow us—”Kai raised a brow. “Seriously?”The manager straightened slightly, hearing the irritation in his voice. “With all due respect, sir, can you offer what this esteemed guest has just offered us?”Zora narrowed her eyes. “And what did he offer?”The manager puffed out his chest. “Ten million yuan. Instant transfer.”Kai gave a soft snort. “M
102:Flight To Greyhold City.
Back at Kai’s place, the atmosphere has shifted. The tension of the mission behind them gave way to something quieter, sharper—focused planning. The room was dim, the only light coming from the crystal chandelier above the mahogany table, where Kai had spread out the three maps like sacred scripture.Each map held coordinates—jagged lines, faded runes, and ancient symbols carved by a dying civilization. They were keys to the fragmented scrolls scattered across, pieces of a legacy too dangerous to be left forgotten.Zora leaned over the table, tracing one of the routes with her finger. “This one,” she said, tapping the first map, “is located inside Greyhold City here in Cresthaven. That’s in the southern quadrant. Closer than the rest.”Kai nodded once, already calculating routes. “We head there first. No delays. No detours.”Zora sighed and dropped into the nearest seat, legs crossed. “Greyhold’s at least a three-hour flight. You planning to teleport us, or are we flying commercial?”
101: Go Ahead And Die.
Kai's gaze remained locked on the young disciple, cold and unreadable. His arms were folded, body relaxed, but his aura was sharp, sheathed just enough not to kill... yet. After a pause, he finally spoke."I'm here for the scroll," he said bluntly, voice devoid of pleasantries. “The maps—the one that leads to the fragmented scrolls.”The disciple stiffened immediately, eyes narrowing. His gaze darted toward Zora, suddenly sharper, more calculating. "Wait... you're the one," he muttered, pointing at her with a stunned look. "You're the thief that broke in three nights ago—caused that entire uproar. The one everyone’s still talking about. The map thief."Zora, unbothered by the accusation, simply grinned and lifted a hand in mock salute. “Guilty,” she said with a wink. “And my name’s Zora, by the way. You can drop the whole ‘map thief’ title. I think it’s a little... excessive.”Kai snorted behind her, arms still crossed. “That’s literally what you are. Might as well tattoo it on your
100: Saving The Disciple.
Zora’s fists were clenched against her thighs, her eyes locked on the lone disciple pacing inside the sect master’s quarters. Her breathing hitched slightly as the tension coiled tighter. The muffled noise of celebration echoed in the distance, but here, everything felt calm.“He doesn’t deserve to die like that,” she whispered fiercely, barely holding herself back. “Poisoned wine? That’s cowardice. The sect master might be a bastard, but this disciple? He’s loyal. They’ll hang him for it.”Kai, standing in front of her, didn’t blink. He rested one hand beside her head. His eyes were calm—dangerously calm.“And that’s our business because?” he asked, voice sharp and cool.Zora glared at him. “Because it’s wrong.”Kai gave a low snort. “You think we broke into this sect to hand out justice pamphlets? Wake up. This isn’t your village, and I’m not your moral compass.”“He’ll die!”“He’ll probably die. Not our fault. Not our fight. Now hush it.” Kai glanced sideways, arching a brow.Her f
99:Spiked Wine
Kai pressed his back firmly against the cold stone pillar, one arm instinctively caged around the woman beside him. She was practically flush against him, the space between them nonexistent.Her hair tickled his chin.Her elbow dug into his ribs.And her chest...Kai’s expression twitched behind the mask.“Why the hell is it always this position?” he grumbled internally. “Every time I’m hiding with a woman, someone’s either too soft, too close, or trying to stab me.”The lady shifted uncomfortably. “Move,” she whispered. “You’re breathing too loud.”“I’m breathing like a human,” he whispered back dryly. “Try doing the same and maybe your discomfort won’t keep slapping me in the face.”Before she could retort, the door to the sect master’s chambers creaked open.Two men walked in—young, cocky, and half-drunk, their robes half-tied like they’d left a celebration midway. Laughter spilled from their mouths, and one of them slammed a decorated wine jug onto the table with a loud clink.“Oh
