2025-03-14 16:40:17"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, and if he was down, wasn’t she next?
Just as she prepared to sneak away, the door slammed open with a loud bang. Sage's nearly 200-pound body was shoved back against her. Damn it, her spine must have cracked!
"Well? Still want to fight?" Kai's tone was casual, but his eyes remained deadly.
"Here, take it! Take it!" Vivian slapped Sage's hefty backside. If he didn’t get up, she would be suffocated under him.
Kai didn’t waste time with them, grabbing the necklace and walking away.
"You ungrateful bastard! We gave you food, drink, shelter, everything! And this is how you repay us!" Sage yelled behind him, unwilling to accept his defeat.
"You’re done!" He shouted, "My sister’s getting married tonight. My brother-in-law is Mr. Reginald. He won’t let you get away with this!"
"No need to wait." Kai paused in his tracks, his footsteps steady. "I'll go to the wedding tonight and settle it personally."
Then, he stepped outside, the cold air greeting him. The sleek Rolls-Royce awaited, its polished exterior gleaming under the light. A burly man stood beside the open door, his sharp gaze flicking toward Sage.
Sage, groaning on the floor, looked outside the gate in disbelief. A Rolls-Royce? For Kai?

At the Sky Ballroom, Astrid stood at the entrance, smiling as she greeted guests.
Reginald had promised that tonight, the biggest names in the city would be here—especially Elara, the city’s wealthiest. She would not only attend the ceremony in person, but also present a grand gift for their wedding. She couldn’t afford to disappoint her.
"Astrid, my baby!" Vivian and Sage, storming toward her, furious and limping.
"You have no idea what we’ve been through!" Vivian's voice trembled with just the right amount of misery. "That monster nearly killed Sage! He’s out of control!"
Astrid’s gaze flickered to her brother. Sage looked pathetic, bandaged up, his lip swollen, one arm wrapped tightly.
This is too embarrassing! She didn’t want the guests seeing her mother and brother in such a state! She quickly ushered them into a small lounge nearby.
"He barged into our home like a madman," she wailed. "He snatched my necklace! The one you gave me as a gift! And then..." She craned her neck, pointing at the faint red marks. "Look! He attacked me! If Sage hadn’t stepped in, I might not even be alive right now, you'll have become motherless!"
"And he’s definitely on drugs," Sage declared firmly. "There’s no way he could beat me without them! No way!" He tried to flex his relaxed biceps but accidentally pulled at his wound.
"That sucker! Not only is he on drugs, but he rented a luxury car to show off!" Sage ground his teeth in anger. "A Rolls-Royce! Worth more than his own life!"
"He’s definitely hoping you’ll change your mind, throwing money at these pathetic tricks!!"
Astrid’s nails dug into her palms. Useless! Those security guards were useless!
Not only was Kai still alive, but he has the audacity to storm into her home, assault her family, steal the necklace, and then drive off in his flashy car!
Does that bastard think Astrid is someone to be trampled on?
She was going to give him a lesson he'd never forget—personally!
Click—she dialed Kai's number. But the moment it connected—it was cut off.
“That bastard! H-He hung up on me!” Astrid’s face twisted with rage.
“What happened?” Reginald burst through the door. “Elara’s gift just arrived. Aren’t you coming out to take a look?”
Astrid’s eyes lit up instantly, and so did her mother’s and brother’s. A greedy gleam flickered in their beady little eyes like a pair of miserly rats sniffing gold.
“But darling,” Astrid said in a fake, delicate voice, “Mom just told me that bastard Kai isn’t dead. He stole her banquet necklace, and he is planning to crash our wedding. We can’t just let him get away with it!”
"Not dead?" Reginald raised an eyebrow. Looks like it’s time he handled things personally.
“Don’t worry,” Reginald said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “If that bastard dares show up at our wedding, he’s done for.”
“Don’t forget—we’ve got Elara backing us.” A smug smile curled on Reginald’s lips.
Old grudges and new rage boiled inside him. He hated Kai with every fiber of his being.
If Kai had the guts to show up at the wedding, there’d be no mercy.
Reginald swore—he’d make sure Kai wouldn’t walk out alive.

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
162: The Pain of Awakening
Kai’s scream tore through the room, raw, wild and animalistic as the blade twisted mercilessly inside his eye, and a sickening crack followed as blood gushed down the right side of his face it soaked his neck, stained his clothes, and dripped in heavy, red splats onto the floor.Zora didn’t flinch at his scream, her hand still gripped the dagger buried in his eye, wrist firm and cold like she was tightening a screw, not skewering someone's soul and then pulled it out and dropped it. “Activate your cultivation technique,” she said coolly, like this wasn’t the most brutal thing she’d ever done. “Now, focus the energy directly into your eye unless you wanna keep crying like a newborn.”Kai’s mind was foggy, pain clouded every thought, every breath, his mouth opened, and all that escaped was another broken scream, hoarse and guttural, but her words pushed through the haze of pain.Through clenched teeth and clenched fists, Kai tried, he summoned his inner energy, the core flow within hi
