The helicopter flew into the most top-tier villa district in the country.

On this lofty mountain stand twenty luxurious villas in a scattered pattern. The higher the location of the villa, the more exalted and unfathomable the owner's status.

There are even rumors that the owner of the No.1 villa at the mountaintop is Blackwood Family, the most powerful family in the world!

And Kai? The helicopter soared over the entire mountain and brought him to the No.1 villa. He was utterly astounded! 

The scene before his eyes was something he'd only seen in movies!

A sprawling estate stretching as far as the eye could see, with fountains, sculptures, a swimming pool, and rows of sharply dressed men standing at attention.

Was he about to shoot the next 007 sequel? 

Then a middle-aged man emerged, pushing a wheelchair forward.

In one synchronized motion, the men in black bowed, and shouted.

"Hello, Master.”

The old man in the wheelchair raised his hand in a gesture, his gaze lingering on Kai, enigmatic and inscrutable.

"I'm Atlas Blackwood, founder of Orion Global" He paused, as if weighing how to frame his next words.

"And your grandfather."

Kai was struck dumb. For a fleeting second, he thought his ears had deceived him.

How could Atlas Blackwood, that most formidable figure, assert that he, a mere nobody, was his grandson?

That is crazy!

The Blackwood Family owns the world!

Their business empire spans nearly 80% of the countries on Earth!

Even in the most remote island nations, people have heard of the might of Orion Group and used their products!

“This has to be a mistake”, Kai’s voice lowered, “I’ve always been just Kai, not Mr. Blackwood.”

"Give it to him", Atlas Blackwood ordered.

A man in a sharp suit stepped forward respectfully and handed him an envelope with both hands.

“Sir, this is the test result.”

And the Paternity Test Result: 99.99% Match.

Atlas Blackwood was his grandfather!

After his mother died, after his girlfriend dumped him—now he suddenly had a goddamn billionaire grandfather!

Was this a dream? Some end-level reward from a twisted game? Kai was stunned, mind blown, unable to believe a damn thing.

“Kai, I owe you an apology.” Atlas continued.

“You and your mother suffered because of my mistakes. I failed to protect your. I failed your.”

Kai stiffened. He never imagined that the life he had lived was nothing but a nightmare—a nightmare caused by someone's negligence.

And that someone else turned out to be his grandfather, his only remaining kin. Kai felt his stomach twist.

“Why now?” Kai's voice came out hollow.

“Because we finally found you.” Atlas said.

And he suddenly exhaled “I must apologize too, for all you’ve been through. As your grandfather, I’ll do anything to make it up to you.”

The entire room fell silent.

“That is why I’ve made a decision.” His gaze locked onto Kai’s. “From today onward, all my enterprises and properties in Dominus City will be transferred under your name.”

A murmur rippled through the gathered elites.

Kai’s mind reeled. He had gone from a man struggling for survival to inheriting a fortune that could shift the tides of an entire economy.

A fortune beyond his imagination. And this was just the start?

“Three days later, there will be a promotion dinner held in your honor . You will be officially introduced to the world.” Atlas continued.

After saying that, he waved his hand. A man stepped forward. A well known man. Thane Jackson. One of Atlas’s most trusted subordinates. Thane extended a sleek black card to him with both hands.

“This is an unlimited black credit card.” Atlas continued, “It has no spending limit and holds a deposit beyond calculation. But more than that...it allows you access to any high-end establishment in the world, unrestricted.”

Kai took the card and let out a bitter laugh.  "Already worth more than my pathetic old life."

His entire life, he had struggled to afford basic survival.

Now, in his hand, he held more power than most men could ever dream of.

“There’s something else,” Atlas added.

“Our family possesses a special inheritance-Spiritual power.”

“It is rare...ancient. And only those of our bloodline can possess it.”

"Awakening spiritual power grants endless energy, but," Atlas paused, his voice sharp, "if uncontrolled, it can tear you apart."

Kai’s heart skipped a beat. His mind raced.

The power he had felt earlier. That suddenly emerging power. Those rapidly healing wounds.

Was this what they meant?

Atlas nodded, as if reading his thoughts. “That’s how we found you, Kai. Your power surfaced...and I could feel it.”

Kai’s pulse pounded in his ears.

Atlas exhaled. “But to control it, you need a special heirloom. A piece that has been passed down through generations.”

"Priceless, just one shard of its diamond is worth more than ten entire cities like Dominus City."

His eyes locked onto Kai’s. “Where is it?”

Kai froze, suddenly remembering the necklace. The one his mother had left him, the one he wanted to give to Astrid.

He held his breath—it was still at Astrid's house!

  • 106: Into The Cave.

    The tension in the air hadn't even settled when one of the younger men from the group turned sharply toward Kai, eyes narrowing.“Who are you calling children, Mr. man?” he snapped.Kai didn’t even spare him a glance. He was more focused on brushing a speck of dust off his coat than dignifying that bite with a response. The sheer arrogance in his silence sent another ripple of irritation through the group, but before more could be said, the swordsman from earlier stepped forward, voice calm but firm.“That man… he’s not just dangerous,” he began, eyes flicking briefly to the twitching corpse-like thing that had tried to ambush them moments ago. “He’s an evil cultivator—a parasitic one. He waits here, playing the role of the helpless old guard. Lures travelers in with false warnings about the cave, then kills them off the moment they drop their guard. It’s been happening for years.”Zora made a face, disgust curling her upper lip. “So he’s the reason no one ever comes back.”The speake

  • 105:Unmasking the Predator

    Kai turned just in time, his boot grinding lightly against the gravel as his gaze settled on the figure approaching from the shadows.An old man, stooped and slow-moving, walked toward them with deliberate care. He was dressed in dull gray robes that fluttered faintly with the wind, and he leaned on a wooden cane, each step measured as if his bones would snap from the weight of existence itself. His white beard hung to his chest, thin and unkempt, and his sunken eyes looked pale—too pale for someone with breath still in their lungs.“You shouldn’t go in,” the old man said, his voice aged and tremulous. “The cave swallows everything. Cultivators, warriors, even sect elders have entered over the years. None ever came back out. Not one.”Zora folded her arms with an audible scoff, already rolling her eyes. “Every cursed ruin has its old storyteller,” she muttered under her breath. “Let me guess. He’s going to beg us not to awaken the vengeful spirit inside.”Kai didn’t move. He didn’t ev

  • 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
