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 you two. I failed your mother” 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!Latest Chapter
Chapter 465: No Rest for the Living
Five grueling hours later, Kai stood in the middle of the torn savannah, panting like a man who had just crawled back from the edge of death.Blood covered him.Some of it was his and most of it wasn’t.His chest rose and fell heavily as he watched his injuries knit themselves back together. Torn flesh sealed. Cracked skin smoothed. Bruised muscles relaxed inch by inch as his healing factor did its job, leaving behind only a dull ache and exhaustion that ran straight down to his bones.Around him, five massive beast corpses lay sprawled across the ground in unnatural positions, eyes glassy, mouths frozen mid-snarl. The earth was churned into chaos, deep gouges, shattered stone, claw marks everywhere , clear proof of just how ugly the fight had been.Kai exhaled slowly.“So… that happened,” he muttered hoarsely.Then he smelled it.Meat.Cooked. Perfectly cooked. How's that possible in the secret realm or was he imagining things cause he was hungry?His head snapped to the side.Zora
464: Think, or Be Torn Apart
Kai swallowed hard, throat dry as sand.Five beasts surrounding him.They look hungry, impatient and drooling like he was already halfway down their throats.His heart hammered against his ribs, but strangely… panic didn’t completely take over.Because one thing was very clear.Zora was still standing there.Arms folded, expression amused and definitely not lifting a finger.And that told him everything.This isn’t a test, Kai realized grimly. This is just… life.If this was something that could truly kill him, Zora wouldn’t be watching like this was a stage play. She would’ve interfered before things even got close to dangerous. The fact that she hadn’t moved meant one thing and one thing only.He could survive this.Barely, maybe painfully but he could.That realization grounded him.Still, another thought crept in, sharp and annoyed.Why didn’t she move him when he fainted after fighting the beast?Why leave him lying here like a piece of raw meat?He almost laughed bitterly.Of co
463: Wrong Time To Wake Up.
After a long while, Kai’s eyes flashed open.The first thing he saw was wrong.Very wrong.Two pale, low-hanging moons sat in the sky like watchful eyes, far too close, and far too bright. Beneath them, countless stars shimmered coldly, scattered across the heavens in a way that made his head throb just looking at them. For a few seconds, he lay there blinking, trying to convince himself that he was still unconscious, that this was some weird after-effect of pushing himself too hard.Did I die?Is this some afterlife discount version?Just as he was piecing together his thoughts, something warm and wet splashed onto his face.Kai froze.Another drop followed.Then another.His mind supplied several horrifying possibilities in rapid succession and none of them were pleasant.Slowly, very slowly, he lifted a hand and wiped his cheek.Sticky.His heart skipped.Before he could think any further, instinct kicked in. Kai sprang upright in one explosive motion, body screaming in protest onl
462: Ten, or Die
Kai swallowed hard, eyes locked onto the Three-Eyed Iron Buffalo standing before him.For a brief, fleeting moment, a very stupid thought crossed his mind.Maybe… maybe he can talk my way out of this.He almost laughed at himself.Zora doesn't listen.Zora decided.If she had any intention of hearing whatever excuse he could come up with, she wouldn’t have snapped her fingers and unleashed that monster in the first place. The ground beneath his feet was still trembling faintly from the beast’s presence alone, and its breath came out in slow, heavy bursts, each one sounding like a forge bellows preparing to melt steel.Kai exhaled slowly.His body screamed at him to rest. Every muscle felt tight, overstretched, drained to the core. His arms still carried the lingering numbness from the previous fight, and his breathing hadn’t even fully steadied yet. This wasn’t ideal. This wasn’t smart.But Zora didn’t train people to be smart much.She trained them to survive.And survival rarely wai
461: No Rest for the Breathing
Back to Kai.At the moment, he was bent slightly forward, hands braced against his knees, panting as he stared at the dead beast lying sprawled on the scorched ground before him. Its massive body twitched once… then went completely still, dust slowly settling around it like the world itself was finally catching its breath.Kai sucked in air through his teeth and straightened with effort.“Damn…” he muttered hoarsely.It had taken him far more effort than he wanted to admit. Not minutes. Not a quick burst of brute force. Hours. Actual, painful, brain-melting hours of fighting, dodging, recalculating, punching, retreating, and repeating the whole miserable cycle again and again.He rolled his shoulders, feeling the lingering ache deep inside his bones.This took longer than yesterday, he thought bitterly. At this rate, tomorrow I’ll be fighting a rock and it’ll still take me half a day to win.He glanced at the corpse again, then snorted quietly.“At least you had the decency to die,” h
460: Beyond the Gate
Though Abigail was confused, wondering what exactly was happening and what kind of place she had just stepped into, she still walked deeper past the gate without hesitation. The moment her foot crossed fully into the space beyond, the world behind her seemed to seal itself off, the towering gate fading from her awareness as though it had never existed in the first place.What greeted her made her slow to a stop.Beyond the gate was not a battlefield and not a valley of corpses.Not endless sword lights clashing in the air like she had half-expected after everything Zora had said.Instead, it was… a settlement.Rows upon rows of houses stretched out before her, arranged neatly along stone paths that twisted and branched like veins. The houses varied in size and style, some were small and simple, others looked ancient and grand, their roofs curved like drawn blades, their walls etched with faint sword patterns worn smooth by time. Every house carried a presence, subtle but sharp, as if
