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.

Chapter 723: A Debt With InterestIt was a very serious problem.None of them had Zora’s number.In fact, Emily doubted Zora even carried a phone around. The woman appeared and disappeared whenever she pleased, moved between worlds as though distance meant nothing, and never stayed anywhere long enough for people to know where she truly lived. Even if they somehow found a number belonging to her, what network would connect Earth to wherever she currently was?Vivienne sat opposite Emily, quietly considering the problem. “Perhaps someone close to Kai knows how to reach her.”Emily shook her head. “If they did, we would have tried long ago. Zora only appears when she wants to.”“That is inconvenient.”“That is Zora.”They had returned to one of the private rooms behind the command hall after the battlefield had been cleared. Outside, the defenders were moving the injured, repairing damaged formations and separating the bodies of the invaders from their own dead. Although Vivienne’s sudd

Chapter 722: Calling the Impossible WomanVivienne noticed the frown on Emily’s face and asked what was wrong.Emily did not answer immediately. She stood close to the window of the small meeting room, staring at the damaged settlement outside. Even after the battle had ended, nobody was truly resting. Formation masters were still working on the barriers, healers moved between the medical buildings, and the cultivators who could still stand were carrying the wounded or gathering the bodies of those who had died. The place was quieter now, but it was not peaceful. It was the silence of people who knew another attack could happen before they had recovered from the last one.Emily folded her arms and sighed. “I’m trying to think the way Kai used to think.”Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “That sounds dangerous.”Despite everything, Emily gave a tired smile. “It probably is.”She turned away from the window and walked slowly toward the table. Maps of the portal settlement were spread across i

Chapter 721: Near the Breaking PointBack on Earth, they had managed to fight off the latest wave of invaders with Vivienne’s help.The battle had lasted for hours. By the end, another section of the outer barrier had collapsed, several buildings had been damaged, and the ground around the portal was covered with bodies. The defenders had entered the fight already exhausted from the previous invasion, and many of them had barely been able to stand when the new wave arrived. If they had relied only on their remaining strength, the line would have fallen.Vivienne had changed that.It was not because her personal cultivation had suddenly become powerful enough to defeat an entire army. She was stronger than when she left, but even she could not have fought the massive wave alone. Her true advantage came from the secret realm she met Emily before.That realm now belonged to her.She had gained control over everything inside it, both living and non-living. The mountains, ancient structure

Chapter 720: A Sword Against Her Own HeartAbigail smiled when she heard the question.Was she worthy to be Kai’s woman?She already knew the answer in her heart, so why should she explain herself to an illusion wearing his face? She had followed Kai through battles, strange worlds, forbidden regions, and situations where death had stood closer to them than life. She knew what she had given, what she felt, and what she was capable of doing for him. If the real Kai ever asked such a foolish question, she would probably strike him first and answer later.But this was not the real Kai.The smile on her face slowly faded as she studied him. He looked exactly the same, down to the relaxed way he stood, but his eyes were wrong. They carried none of the humour she knew, none of the silent understanding that often passed between them without words.Abigail frowned and refused to answer.Instead, she looked around.The place was quiet, with nothing surrounding them except a wide empty space th

Chapter 719: Was She Worthy of Him?After a while, Abigail finally calmed down and began to think.The tears had stopped, but the ache in her chest had not. She remained seated where she had broken down, staring at the life the illusion had forced her to watch again and again. Kai and Emily were still there in the distance, surrounded by children and grandchildren, living peacefully as though Abigail had never existed.This time, however, she did not scream or try to reach them.She forced herself to breathe and think properly.Emily had been Kai’s original fiancée.They had been betrothed long before many of the events that later brought Kai and Abigail together. Emily had always had a place in Kai’s life, even if things between them had become complicated over time. Abigail knew that. She had never forgotten it.So why had she become so angry when she saw them together?Why had the sight of Kai touching Emily’s pregnant stomach filled her with jealousy?Why had she hated watching th

Chapter 718: The Life That Should Have Been HersAbigail’s world nearly shattered the moment she saw the scene before her.Kai had his arm wrapped around Emily’s waist, holding her carefully as though she were the most precious thing in his life. The cold expression he had shown Abigail only moments earlier had completely disappeared. His eyes were gentle as he looked down at Emily’s pregnant stomach, and the way he kissed it made something painful twist inside Abigail’s chest.For a few seconds, she could not move.She could not even breathe properly.Kai did not remember her. He had looked at her as though she were a complete stranger, yet the moment Emily stepped out of the car, he treated her with a warmth Abigail had rarely seen him show so openly.Emily smiled and placed one hand on his shoulder. “I was tired of sitting inside.”“You should have called me.”“I can still walk, Kai.”“That doesn’t mean you should be moving around when you’re this close to giving birth.”Their voic
