2025-03-14 16:37:12Astrid was shocked. "You arrogant piece of trash! This is Mr. Reginald!"
"Reginald?" Kai sneered and interrupted her. "He’s just a leech living off women—don’t tell me you actually think he’s somebody."
Astrid's lips were trembling, she snapped, “You piece of…”
But before she could finished, Reginald stepped forward and kicked Kai straight to the ground.
A sharp jolt of pain shot through Kai's ribs as his back hit the pavement. His breath came out in ragged gasps. He clenched his teeth, pushing himself up, but Reginald shoved him down again with his foot.
“You’re nothing, Blackwood,” he spat. “A pathetic, delusional nobody who actually thought he could compete with me.”
“Fuck you!” he huffed with clenched fists, his body trembling but the moment he tried to move, Reginald stepped on his head hard in an extremely insulting posture and crushed it with force.
Kai’s breath came in ragged gasps. His vision blurred. A deep, primal rage bubbled in his chest. He absolutely could not be humiliated like this by these scoundrels, never!
Kai exerted force once again, the muscles in his sturdy forearms bulging. He found the right moment and pushed himself up with all his might. A full-force punch, raw and desperate.
CRACK!
Reginald's body jolted. His head snapped back, and he flew off Kai, hitting the ground with a thud.
The entire yard went silent.
Kai staggered to his feet, his body trembling. His hands clenched at his sides as he stared down at Reginald, who groaned in pain.
For the first time, fear flickered across Reginald's face.
Kai exhaled sharply.
"Not so tough now, are you?"
Reginald glared up at him. "You son of a.."
Before he could finish, Kai was already on him.
His fingers wrapped around Reginald’s throat, lifting him off the ground like he weighed nothing.
Reginald’s eyes widened in terror. He clawed at Kai’s grip, but it was useless.
Kai’s voice was cold, unrecognizable. "You wanted to break me?" He tightened his grip. "Let's see who breaks first."
Reginald's face turned red. His legs kicked wildly.
"Kai, STOP!" Astrid’s shrill scream cut through the air.
Kai didn’t even spare her a glance—his heart was a furnace, burning with nothing but rage!
All he wanted now was to make Reginald pay. This was the price of underestimating him!
But in the next second, a sharp, searing pain exploded in Kai’s skull. His grip went slack. He staggered back—and turned.
It was Astrid. She’d smashed a vase over his head.
Kai ignited in an instant, his bloodshot eyes blazing with fury as they locked onto Astrid.
Astrid froze, utterly terrified! Never—never—had she seen that look on his face. It was monstrous. It was something out of a nightmare.
“Guards!” she shouted toward the door, trying to mask her fear with false bravado. “Grab him!”
A wave of confused bodyguards rushed in. When they saw their boss, Reginald, bleeding and injured, they instantly surrounded Kai.
“Kill him!” Reginald bellowed, clutching his neck, rage twisting his features. "I need to see his body today!"
With that, he leaned on Astrid and hurried out of the house.
Behind them, blades flashed—cold steel in, blood out.
For a moment, the only sound in Kai's ears was that of the blade piercing flesh. The pain engulfed him, yet the unwillingness in his heart prevented him from closing his eyes just like that. He shouldn't and couldn't die like this!
The next second, a searing pain shot from his wound, growing hotter by the second, as if his sinews and bones were about to be incinerated, only to be reborn!
Then…
BOOM.
A shockwave erupted from his body.
The guards were sent flying like rag dolls in an instant, crashing into walls, the sidewalk, and cars. They groaned, trying to stand up, and then beheld a terrifying sight.
Kai's face was ferocious, his eyes blood - red, a faint golden light wave lingered around his body, sending chills down one's spine.
In the next second, the light wave moved towards his body, and those wounds gradually began to heal. His body, which had been dripping with blood and riddled with holes, became completely unharmed in an instant!
This must be a haunting!
Kai came to his senses and saw the guards lying on the ground.
He looked at his own body in disbelief. What on earth had happened?
But before he could make sense of it, a roaring gust of wind hit the top of his head. Frowning, he walked toward the street. Then he heard the low, powerful hum of engines.
There was three massive helicopters hovering over the sky. And the largest and most luxurious helicopter began its descent...right in front of him!
The entire street froze. People stood rooted to the spot, eyeing Kai's retreating figure curiously and whispering among themselves.
Kai’s muscles tensed. Did Reginald already call in reinforcements? That bastard moves fast!
But the doors opened. A woman stepped out.
Elara Vasquez! The wealthiest woman in Dominus City. The most powerful business mogul. Ruthless. Unshakable. Untouchable.
Then, in front of everyone, she bowed slightly.
“Young Lord,” Elara said, her voice smooth, authoritative. “The Master wishes to see you.”
Kai frowned. Master? Young Lord? What is this—some medieval roleplay?
“I think you’re mistaken.” His voice came out low, firm.
"No, Young Lord", Elara’s gaze didn’t waver "why not come with me to see for yourself?"
Kai’s gaze swept over the helicopter hovering behind him—powerful, imposing, and with a magnetic pull that drew every man in, himself included.
He'd just managed to get rid of a life - complicating headache. So why not tag along with her, unwind, and enjoy the sight?
With measured steps, he walked forward. As the helicopter rose, he glanced down. The people in the streets were staring in awe. Some still had their phones out, recording.
Whispers filled the air.
“Wait...that’s Elara Vasquez! The most wealthiest woman in Dominus City! She bowed to him?”
"Last time, she flung the mall owner out without hesitation! And now, she's bowing to that guy? Who the hell is he?"
The videos spread like wildfire. Within minutes, the internet exploded.
Who was the mysterious man Elara Vasquez personally escorted?
Could he be some mysterious billionaire?

Kai stood outside the door, refusing his subordinate’s request to enter with him. This house held too many memories for him, but this time would be his last visit. He pressed the doorbell.Inside the house, Astrid's mother, Vivian, stood before the mirror, carefully comparing two designer coats. Tonight was her daughter’s wedding to Reginald, a grand affair taking place in the Sky Hall in the heart of the most exclusive district. Yes, she hadn’t heard wrong—it was the Sky Hall, the one where even to visit, you needed to pay a 2 million membership f*e and pass a financial verification.

"You... you bastard!" Vivian was terrified. When did Kai become so strong? She quietly stepped back, hoping to lock Kai and Sage outside, to protect herself. But the next moment, Kai kicked the door open, bracing it with his firm arm before it could close. "Give it to me," he said, his voice cold and impatient. "Or do you want me to take it myself?" "Get away!" Vivian screamed, clutching the necklace tightly. "This necklace is mine! I'll die before I give it to you!" "You fucker!" Sage spat blood, a tooth falling from his mouth. Damn it, Kai! He definitely did this on purpose!"You're looking for death!" Sage struggled to rise, his fury building as he yelled at Kai. "Come on, you bastard! Show me what you learned from your whore mother!" "You're done for." Kai's gaze darkened as he moved like a shadow, swiftly appearing in front of Sage. CRACK. Before Sage could even speak, he was sent flying again. Vivian panicked, peeking through the peephole. Sage was lying on the floor, a

On the other side, a Rolls-Royce glided into the estate, drawing envious gasps from pedestrians who marveled at the limited-edition luxury car. Inside, Elara, the wealthiest person in Dominus City and one of Kai’s most trusted allies, respectfully reported tonight’s agenda.“Master, the banquet will be held promptly at 9 PM. All the bosses working for the Orion Group in Dominus City are eager to meet you,” she said.Kai smirked, his lips curling with anticipation. He, too, was looking forward to the evening’s event. But before that, there was a pressing issue to take care of.“Stop in front of the Sky Hall,” Kai’s deep voice rumbled, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous light.If someone wanted to stir things up at the wedding, then why not give them a show they would never forget?As Kai stepped down, he heard a familiar voice, dripping with smug satisfaction.“Well, look what the wind dragged in.”Kai didn’t even need to turn.

The room buzzed with high tension.Astrid stormed forward, her heels clicking against the marble floor. Her eyes burned with rage as she pointed at Kai."I really underestimated you! You actually had the guts to show up and cause a scene at my wedding!""You think you can just come and go as you please?!""Oh? How do you think I got in?" Kai sneered."Well said, Kai. Letting you in was me showing you respect, but now it seems like you don’t deserve it.""Let me remind you," Kai cleared his throat. "You’re the one who cheated, your mom's the thief, and your brother’s the one on drugs.""You talk about face, but it looks like you need it more than I do."The room went silent for three seconds before whispers erupted."Is that true?""Is Reginald’s new wife really like this?""Enough!"

Reginald’s heart pounding loudly. This was his moment to shine because this will go a long way to help his reputation and life.He adjusted his suit quickly, puffed out his chest, and forced a confident smile onto his face.“Elara Vasquez!” he said with a practiced chuckle. “What an unexpected honor. We’re all truly blessed to have you here.”Then he turned to the crowd with an exaggerated sweep of his hand, his smile widening with every word.“You see? Didn’t I tell you all? Elara and I go way back. She'd graced my wedding.”The reaction was instant. Gasps. Whispers.“Holy shit. Reginald wasn’t lying?”“Elara Vasquez? At his wedding?”“No way... He actually pulled it off?”“I thought he was bluffing. But damn... this guy’s connected.”“Forget everything I said...he’s the real deal.”Vivian practically glowed.

Elara’s gaze swept the room. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving.“Who…” Her voice rang out, sharp and deadly.She doesn't know why her master was being quiet and patient with these insects but she won't stand and watch anymore. His grandfather would be disappointed in her if she doesn’t do anything to those who wronged him.“Who here just demanded my master kneel? Who mocked him?”"Come out and I might consider not ruining you completely."No one answered.Her eyes narrowed. “I’ll only ask once more.”That was all it took.One guest stuttered, pointing a trembling finger toward the front. “It was them! Reginald wanted to force him to kneel! Said he’d beat him if he didn’t apologize.”Another one followed quickly. “I heard it too! That woman...Astrid...she threatened him, said he wasn’t leaving unless he crawled! Even pulled a gun at him!”“It wasn’t us,” someone else added. “We were just watching.

“This girl really doesn’t know when to shut up.” Elara’s voice was cold.“Eliza,” she snapped without looking back, “slap some damn sense into her.”The tall, athletic woman behind Elara cracked her knuckles and stepped forward. No hesitation. No words.Astrid opened her mouth, still panting from rage.SLAP! The first hit landed with a crack. Her head jerked violently to the side.Another! Blood sprayed from her lip. Her cheek ballooned instantly, red and swollen.Another! She stumbled backward, nearly falling over a chair.“Stop...Wait...!” she shrieked.SLAP! The fourth blow sent her to her knees. Blood dripped from her mouth, her temple bruised. She looked up, hair messy, makeup ruined, her wedding gown smeared with blood.Elara finally raised her finger, signaling the guard to pause.Astrid coughed. Her hands shook as she wiped her mouth. Tears and blood mixed down her face.Her voice cracked with fury.“Why?! On what basis do you hit me like that?!” she howled.Elara sneered, not

41: The Ambush on the Highway
The city lights had long faded behind them, replaced by the eerie silence of the wooded highway ahead. Moonlight spilled through the open stretch of road as Kai lounged comfortably in the backseat of the silver luxury car, legs crossed, jacket open just slightly at the collar.Ella sat beside him, eyes sharp but curious.“…and that’s how market compression in a bear-run economy can cripple a multi-tiered investment structure,” Kai finished, tone as relaxed as if he were discussing dinner options.Ella blinked. Twice. “I... understood like ten percent of that.”Kai glanced at her. “I simplified it.”“You what? That was simplified?”“Mm,” he nodded. “Didn’t want to overwhelm you.”“Too late.”But just as her lips curled into the start of a smile, tires shrieked ahead.Three black vans surged from a hidden side road, engines roaring as they cut off their path with brutal precision.Ella’s driver cursed and slammed the brakes.The seatbelt jerked Ella forward. “What the hell...?!”Kai had
40: A Silent Doubt and an Unexpected Invitation
The first light of dawn crept into the villa, casting long, pale streaks across the sleek marble floors. Kai stood at the center of the room, muscles flexed, breath steady, eyes closed.His mind wasn’t on the movements of his body, though his instincts controlled every precise strike, every dodge and flex. His mind was somewhere else entirely, replaying yesterday’s chaos and the conversation that followed.Abigail.Last night, after what felt like an eternity of missed calls, she had finally answered.Her voice had been rushed, light but guarded. She claimed she had to leave for "something important," brushing him off with a flimsy excuse.Kai had said nothing. No accusations. No demands. Just a simple, quiet, "Alright. See you around."But the silence after the call ended... lingered.A silent doubt buried itself in his chest. He didn’t believe her. Not completely. But if she wanted space, he'd give it, no matter how much it chewed at him.Respect came first.Possession… not without
39: Part Of The Fragmented Scroll
The heavy silence that filled the room finally broke when Emily, still catching her breath and feeling the energy course freely through her veins, turned toward Kai. Her gaze, once filled with skepticism, now softened into pure gratitude.“I owe you my life,” she said sincerely, bowing her head just slightly, a rare gesture from someone of her status. “Anything you want, name it. Money, property, shares, rare gems… whatever it is, it’s yours.”The room stirred again, her relatives exchanging glances, nodding, almost certain that this strange man would finally cash in on such a golden offer.But Kai?Kai simply leaned back against the edge of the polished antique table behind him, arms crossed loosely over his chest, his expression calm, almost bored.“I’m not interested in your money,” his voice came cool and steady. “I just want the scroll you promised. The Fragmented Scroll of the Celestial Gods.”A collective gasp rippled through the room.“What?!”“Is he insane?”“That useless anc

The convoy of sleek black Bentleys rolled smoothly through the iron gates of the Wilson Estate, a mansion so large it could house a small kingdom. The sprawling compound screamed money, from the marble lion statues guarding the entrance to the shimmering glass walls reflecting the setting sun.Kai stepped out of the second car, looking as plainly as ever, but the way he carried himself made the gold-plated gates seem like cheap plastic.Emily adjusted her jacket as she descended from the lead car, heels clicking confidently against the polished driveway. “Try not to look too intimidating,” she whispered, flashing a small smile.Kai raised a brow. “I was born intimidating.”Inside the mansion, the air was colder than the marble floors. Lining the grand hall were a mix of relatives, all draped in designer brands, their wrists heavy with watches that cost as much as small islands and they were here when they heard Emily finally found the man she'd been looking for. Kai walked in, hands
37: Emily Wilson's Offer.
The sun dipped low over Cresthaven, casting long shadows across the city streets as Kai drove through the quieter outskirts of town. His mind wasn’t on the road.It was on Abigail.He had tried calling her again.No answer.His jaw tightened slightly, knuckles flexing around the steering wheel. His instincts told him she was safe...at least physically but upset. Angry. And for the life of him, he couldn’t understand why. What exactly had he done wrong?“She could’ve just yelled at me right there…” he muttered under his breath, eyes narrowing at the thought. “But no, she had to storm off.”Kai exhaled, forcing himself to calm down, though the knot in his chest wouldn’t ease.“Women,” he sighed. “Can’t they just say what they’re pissed about?”As the car glided down the near-empty stretch of road, something pricked at the back of his neck. His eyes sharpened.Ahead, three sleek black luxury cars, Bentley Mulsannes, swerved out from a side street, forming a blockade across the road.Kai’
36: The Fiancé Unmasked
The terminal still hummed faintly with the sounds of sirens outside, the chaos slowly settling into awkward silence. Thane Jackson, wiping the sweat from his brow, stood stiff as a board, head still lowered before Kai.“Young Master… Please, I take full responsibility. I...”Kai raised a hand lazily, cutting him off without even sparing him a glance. “Thane, enough.”The calm in his tone was scarier than anger.“You’ll handle it,” Kai added flatly. “I trust you know what that means.”Thane swallowed hard, nodding fast like a child caught stealing cookies. “Yes, Young Master.”The subordinates behind him stood so straight it looked like their spines would snap.Meanwhile, Ella hadn’t moved an inch.Her eyes were locked on Kai.Her mind, however, was spinning like a washing machine on high speed.No.No way.This can’t be.This cold, dangerous, insanely skilled man... this was the spoiled, useless fiancé she had already planned to crush like a bug?

The airport terminal buzzed with flashing red and blue lights, the sharp wails of sirens still on. Reporters pushed their microphones forward, cameras rolling as they tried to catch every angle of the scene. Passengers huddled behind barricades, some crying, others shaking, still trying to process what had just happened.Police officers moved swiftly, cuffing the remaining gangsters, forcing them to their knees, weapons scattered across the floor. Medical teams worked in clusters, tending to the wounded, calming frightened civilians.The air was heavy with the smell of gunpowder, blood and sweat.Ella stood near the secured zone, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, trying to hold onto her composure. Her sharp features remained calm, but her eyes betrayed the storm within. She was surrounded by a ring of security, airport officials, and media personnel pushing closer, trying to snap pictures, asking questions she wasn’t ready to answer.“Miss Ella! How do you feel about the attack
34: A Familiar Stranger.
The chaos hadn’t settled. If anything, the danger was just starting and the gangsters were mad... they are the subordinates of KING and no one should mess with them.Just as another thug lunged toward Kai from the left, aiming to drive a jagged blade into his side, the attacker halted mid-stride, eyes bulging in shock. The gleam of a knife flashed once...fast, clean...and the gangster dropped, blood pooling beneath him before he even hit the floor.Standing behind him, calm as ever, was Caleb Flynn.Kai’s gaze sharpened. Recognition flickered across his face. The man from the graveyard.But there was no time for words.Caleb gave the faintest nod, his stance dropping low as he shifted beside Kai, ready. No introduction. No explanation.The gangsters flinched at the sudden reinforcement, but their leader barked orders, snapping them back into motion.“Take them both down! Now!”They regrouped quickly, spreading out, circling Kai and Caleb like sharks around bleeding prey. From every an

The sharp crack of gunfire tore through the terminal, and the peaceful airport lobby collapsed into chaos.Passengers screamed, tripping over one another as they scrambled for cover. Bags were abandoned. Phones dropped. Security alarms blared overhead, adding to the confusion.Abigail’s hands clutched tightly onto Kai’s sleeve, her eyes wide, body shaking. “K-Kai…”“Stay down,” Kai ordered firmly, pulling her quickly behind a line of overturned luggage carts near the sidewall. He crouched with her, shielding her body as another round of shots echoed from the far end.“I… I don’t want you to leave me!” Abigail’s voice cracked. She held onto him, refusing to let go.Kai’s gaze softened just a little. He placed one steady hand over hers. “I’ll be back,” he said calmly. “I promise, just stay here and be safe, please. I'll be back soon.”But his eyes told a different story...focused, sharp, dangerous.Reluctantly, Abigail released her grip, her throat tight with panic as Kai rose smoothly
