The moment Thane's words hit his ear, Kai’s entire body jerked like he’d been shocked.

He shot up from his seat, legs slamming against the table with enough force to nearly flip it over. Plates clattered, soup sloshed, and meat almost flew across the room.

Zora didn’t even blink.

With a flick of her wrist, she caught two falling bowls mid-air, spun a plate back into place with her elbow, and tilted her head lazily toward him, eye roll fully loaded.

“Can you not cause earthquakes while I’m still digesting?” she muttered.

But Kai didn’t respond.

He gripped the phone tighter, voice sharp and low. “Thane. What happened?”

Thane’s voice came steady, but Kai could hear the strain underneath.

“She’s missing, young master. And I don’t mean late-for-a-meeting missing, I mean gone.”

Kai’s eyes narrowed. “Explain.”

Thane took a breath, and then the words came, clean and precise. “Abigail and I have been coordinating closely over the last few days, tying up some new development contracts you appr

  • 168: Hell Has a Doorbell, and Kai Just Rang It

    The convoy pulled up to the location, black cars lined the dusty, half-abandoned industrial zone, their engines humming low with restrained menace. Kai stepped out of his matte obsidian beast of a car, adjusting his sleeves with the kind of calm that made grown men rethink their life decisions."Lock down the entire perimeter. No one gets in. No one gets out," Kai ordered coolly, his voice cold."Yes, Young Master!" the men chorused, instantly dispersing, surrounding the place with swift, lethal precision.Thane stepped forward, his expression unreadable but his hands twitching slightly. He wanted to say something, anything but he swallowed it. He knew better than to interrupt his master when his aura had that still-deadly quality… the kind that always preceded chaos.Thane's brows furrowed as he glanced at the rust-stained structure. “Young Master… should I go in with you?”Kai’s jaw flexed. “No. Stay here. Clean-up comes after the mess.”Kai walked toward the building like he owned

  • 167: Even If It's The Devil Himself...

    Kai’s fists curled so tightly the bones cracked, his aura continued to surge like a dam breaking, thick, heavy, laced with bloodlust. The very air around him distorted, rippling with pressure.Then came Zora’s voice, casual as ever. “Hey, dumbass. I told you to use the eye, not choke me out with your stupid aura.”Kai exhaled, dragging in control like it was chained to his spine. The golden third eye flickered once more before sealing shut at the centre of his forehead.Silence returned.His jaw tightened as he swallowed the fury, choosing violence, but not yet.He sighed, the truth was, he was drained, not weak, not broken, just tired from holding back so damn much.Zora glanced at him from the corner, arms folded, face unreadable. “You’ll only get one full sweep like that. Next time, you’ll be working off your own energy.” She yawned like she hadn’t just turned him into a walking god. “Don’t run out, or you’ll fry yourself.”He nodded. “Got it.”“Good. Now go save your little girlfr

  • 166: The Eye That Sees All

    Kai stilled as realization hit him, so she hadn’t been stopping him, she had wanted to prepare him, forcing him to activate the eye properly, on her own damn terms and here he’d been, barking at her like she was the enemy.He felt stupid.No, scratch that, he felt played. Zora had manipulated the entire situation so subtly, so effortlessly, he hadn’t even realized it until now. She’d slapped him, stabbed him, tortured him and now she was yawning like none of it mattered.And honestly? He had to respect that level of chaos.Still, before he could even ask her who the hell she really was or what her game was...Smack!Her palm landed on the back of his head again.“You thinking again?” she asked, voice dry. “You wanna explode your brain for real this time, or you gonna get to work?”“Don’t stand there like a confused squirrel,” Zora groaned, her voice muffled with sleep. “I need to nap. You need to see. So close those damn eyes and get to work.”Kai muttered something under his breath,

  • 165: No One Can Hide.

    Kai took in a deep breath, hand still pressed to his head, the sting of that cosmic migraine still echoing deep in his skull. A million questions swirled in his mind. What did I see? Who the hell is Zora? What did my eye just do? Why did looking at her hurt so much?He opened his mouth, ready to unleash every one of those thoughts despite Zora warning him not to question her.But Zora sensing his intent raised a single brow and lazily lifted a finger to point at him without even turning her head. “Don’t even think about it, I told you not to bother me with your questions, I'm really not in the mood.”Her tone was calm, but that one sentence slammed Kai’s mouth shut.He groaned softly and sank back against the wall, still breathing heavily, eyes flickering with that same golden-blue hue from earlier. The silence that followed was thick, loaded with the weight of questions left unspoken and confusion he couldn't process yet.Zora stretched her legs across the couch and finally looked a

  • 164: Third Eye Awakened.

    Three hours slipped by as quietly as a shadow at dusk.Zora had dozed off somewhere between her fifth meat skewer and the sixth, her pale face resting against the sofa, rising and falling softly with her breathing. By the time she woke up, blinking groggily and stretching her limbs, Kai hadn’t moved an inch, he was still seated in the center of the room, legs crossed, his breathing steady, his body glowing faintly with spiritual light.But something was different now.A straight, delicate line had formed right in the middle of his forehead, so thin at first, it looked like a faint scar but it pulsed with energy, almost like it was alive and with each passing minute, the line deepened, stretching further, as if something underneath was trying to claw its way out.Kai clenched his jaw, his fists tightening on his knees, the pain he'd been feeling was crazy, sharp, searing but this time, he didn’t scream, he’d been through worse, he had already survived the madness of being stabbed in th

  • 163: The Seal of Sight

    Hearing Zora’s words, Kai’s brow furrowed deeply, his lips parted as he tried to comprehend what she just said.“You want me to open the real Third Eye?” he asked, voice low, still hoarse from screaming earlier. “How the hell am I supposed to do that?”Zora didn’t answer him immediately, she simply raised her chin and pointed at the scroll lying open on the floor, its old surface fluttering slightly from the energy still lingering in the room.“The scroll,” she said flatly. “You already have everything you need.”Kai followed her finger, then crouched and picked up the parchment, the paper still felt warm in his hand, humming faintly, almost as if it were alive, he held it in both hands, staring down at the lines of text now glowing faintly under his golden eyes.He blinked in surprise.This time, the words weren’t too harsh, his eyes didn’t sting or throb, there was no pain at all, just clarity, perfect, overwhelming clarity.“It’s working…” he murmured, eyes scanning every brushstro
