Shock! The Spell Is In English!

The grand hall of the Phoenix family estate was filled with people, all waiting with baited breath for the arrival of the exiled grandson. Finally, the doors at the far end of the room swung open and the crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Nicholas strode confidently into the room. He was tall and mysterious, with an air of authority that overwhelmed everyone present. He wore a diamond encrusted face mask which only had two openings revealing his piercing blue eyes. His dark hair was styled in a sleek, modern cut, and he wore a tailored suit that showed off his broad shoulders and athletic build. As he made his way through the crowd, people reached out to touch him, as if to confirm that he was real. He was Lord Fitzpatrick favorite grandson, returned from exile after three years of being away from his family and his home. The family conference meeting was held in the grand dining hall of the family's estate. The tables and chairs had been pushed to the sides of the room, leaving a clear space in the center. The entire family, including his parents, aunts, uncles, stepmother's, concubines and cousins, had gathered and were now kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed in shame. Nicholas stood in the center of the room, looking down at his family with a mixture of shock and confusion. He had been falsely accused of poisoning his late grandfather and had been shunned by his family for three years. These people bowing before him were the ones who casted him away, made him an outsider. Now he was going to be their Lord and master. At the front of the room, The family's patriarch, his father stepped forward and knelt down on the floor. "Welcome home, our Lord."

"Mr. Verus,” she said, “the surgery has already been paid for.” Cassius blinked, stunned. “What? By who?” Before the nurse could respond, a tall, imposing figure appeared. The man was impeccably dressed, his presence commanding attention. “I paid for it,” the man said, his deep voice resonating in the sterile corridor. Cassius stood, his body tense. “Who are you?” The man smiled faintly, extending a hand. “Augustus Verus,” he said. “Your father.” Shock coursed through Cassius. “My father?” he echoed, incredulous. “That’s impossible.” “It’s the truth,” Augustus said, pulling out a neatly folded envelope. Inside were photographs, documents—proof of their connection. “I’ve been watching from a distance, waiting for the right moment to step in. And now, it’s time.” Cassius stared at the evidence, his emotions a whirlwind of disbelief, anger, and curiosity. “Why now? Why not before?” Augustus met his gaze steadily. “Because you had to face life’s hardships to grow. But now, you’ve earned the right to know the truth—and the power to change your fate.” He handed Cassius a sleek black card. “This is yours. It grants you access to my wealth. Use it wisely.” Cassius hesitated before taking the card, his fingers trembling. The weight of everything that had happened—his humiliation, his sister’s injury, and now this revelation—threatened to overwhelm him. But as he looked at Augustus, determination flickered in his eyes. “I’ll use this,” he said quietly, “to protect Vinna—and to repay everyone who looked down on me.” Augustus nodded, a faint smile on his lips. “Then I trust you won’t disappoint me, son.” Cassius watched as Augustus walked away, leaving him standing in the sterile hallway, a man reborn."

What would you do if the entire world wanted you dead… simply because you existed? Kai Ashford thought his biggest problems were paying bills and surviving another bizarre investigation job. Then an ancient inheritance awakens a forgotten power within him—Qi—turning him into the first cultivator in centuries and the one the world fears as the Last Cultivator. Now, every time he uses his powers, government satellites lock onto his location, deadly machines are deployed, and hunters descend upon the city. To survive, Kai must hide his identity, suppress his Qi, and continue living as an ordinary young man by day. His only ally is Aria Vale, a mysterious hacker who never leaves her hideout. From behind a computer screen, she erases his digital footprints, manipulates surveillance systems, and protects his secret while guiding him through a world of ancient legends and hidden conspiracies. Together, they uncover the truth about the Civilization Rift, a gateway to the last sanctuary of the immortals, and a terrifying project to create a weapon capable of killing gods. But the greatest shock awaits Kai. The woman leading the hunt for the Last Cultivator is Director Evelyn Ashford, the legendary enemy of all cultivators… and the mother he believed died long ago. She has spent her entire life hating immortals, believing they stole her child. She has no idea that the boy she is trying to capture is her own son. Caught between humanity and the surviving immortals, Kai must uncover the secret of his birth and decide where he truly belongs. Is he human? Is he a cultivator? Or is he the bridge between two races destined for war? And if the truth behind his existence is finally revealed… why did his dying master tell him to run from the world?
