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!

    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. And to top it off, her son-in-law, Reginald, had promised that the most powerful figures within the estate would be attending. The richest woman in Dominus City, Elara, even, would personally present a wedding gift! What a huge blessing this is!She could barely fathom how envious people would be, but she was certain that for the next month, maybe even the next year, all eyes would be on this wedding

    "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 stench of arrogance said it all.Reginald Thompson s

    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 finally stepped up. "This guy's nothing but a thug and a liar. Don’t listen to him!""Right, he's just a freeloading loser, willing to do anything for money," Sage added.

    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. She held her head high and nudged Sage in the ribs.“See that? I told you Astrid made the right choice. This is what it means to marry into power. We're going to be rich.”Astri

    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. Reginald said this was his place, that he had Elara and many powerful men backing him! ”Regina

    “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

    Abigail's eyes lingered on Kai. He didn’t look powerful. He didn’t dress like a man the city feared. He didn’t carry himself like someone who just brought the most powerful wedding in Dominus City to its knees.But Elara had bowed to him.And no one...not even Reginald's so-called elite friends...dared question it.Kai chuckled lightly. Not mockingly. . .just tired amusement. "Just a guy who won a bet."Abigail raised a brow. "That’s it? You’re telling me Elara Vasquez...Dominus City’s coldest queen...bowed to you... because of a bet?"Kai shrugged. "She lost. She owed me one."Behind him, Elara caught on.Her master didn’t want eyes on him. Not now."Exactly," she said, stepping forward smoothly. Her expression was unreadable, calm. "It was a joke. A small act. We like messing with people sometimes. No need to take it seriously.""I see. That... makes more sense." She looked relieved, but her gaze still lingered a moment too long on Kai."Well... I should go," she added, stepping bac

    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

    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

    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

    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’

    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

    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
