Under The Oak Tree 2

When Victor Lazarus, the world's most powerful art broker, dies suddenly, the international art scene holds its breath. For decades, Lazarus built an empire not by owning the world's rarest masterpieces, but by exhibiting them—Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Hokusai, and more. These works, entrusted to him by the world's wealthiest collectors, turned his gallery into their stage: where masterpieces drew crowds, prestige, and profit, until the moment the owners chose to sell. Now, with Lazarus gone, the curtain is rising on the greatest auction of the century. Twelve priceless works, each carrying centuries of history, are set to leave his gallery forever. For the elite, it is a chance to claim cultural immortality. For the press, it is a spectacle without equal. For one crew of six, it is something else entirely. They see more than paintings under glass. They see a once-in-a-lifetime fortune, one last performance of Lazarus's legacy, only rewritten in their favor. With few months to prepare, outthink security systems, staff rotations, and every eye that will be watching. Few months to pull off a heist that would shatter records and rewrite history. But art has a way of ensnaring those who covet it. In the chase for fortune, the question is not only whether the heist can succeed, but whether Lazarus's legacy will be honored, betrayed, or reborn in the shadows. The Lazarus Job is a razor-sharp thriller of art, ambition, power, and the dangerous game played where beauty and power collide.

Zachary Hayes is a man in his thirties who is experiencing crises in every aspect of his life. His bar business, which he built a few years ago, went bankrupt, his girlfriend left him, and he was forced to abandon his last name because he had to marry a woman under the coercion of someone claiming to be his father's arch-enemy. His father had accumulated substantial debts before he died, yet Zach knew nothing about it due to his strained relationship with his father. However, Zach had no other options because he also had significant debts to loan sharks. He was bankrupt and had nothing, including a place to live. As a poor son-in-law in a wealthy family, Zach had to endure endless humiliation. His wife, Sarah Bennett, openly cheated on him, and his in-laws constantly humiliated him in front of the extended family while mentioning the debts of Zach's father, of which he had no knowledge. The only thing that kept Zach going was having a place to sleep and free food. Zach tried to earn acceptance in the Bennett family by starting a business with the support of his acquaintances, but it was all in vain because the Bennett family didn't want to see Zach succeed on his own. He faced threats from various parties he had never imagined before. Then, he met Jeremy Brooks and Hannah Mitchel. These two came to help him uncover the mystery behind the Bennett family.

The Bully’s Reincarnation is a fast-paced fantasy drama about power, guilt, and second chances—set in a brutal magical academy where reputation is everything. Once feared as “The Tyrant,” Rafe Valemont ruled the prestigious Dominion Academy through cruelty and dominance. Arrogant, powerful, and merciless, he left behind a trail of broken lives and bitter enemies—until the day he died under mysterious circumstances. But death wasn’t the end. Kai wakes up in Rafe’s body with no memory of his past life. Burdened with the tyrant’s reputation but none of his sins, Kai is immediately met with hatred, fear, and vengeance. Students plot against him. Teachers distrust him. And shadowy factions that once served or opposed Rafe close in, believing he’s faking amnesia. As Kai begins to unravel the truth behind Rafe’s power and crimes, fragments of the tyrant’s memories begin to surface—along with dangerous instincts and whispers that tempt him to embrace the darkness again. Torn between who he is and who he was, Kai must walk a razor-thin line: prove he’s changed, or become what everyone already believes him to be. Amidst the chaos, a quiet girl named Lina sees through the monster’s mask. Her loyalty may be the key to saving him—or breaking him completely. With betrayal lurking in every shadow and the academy itself built on deadly secrets, Kai must decide whether to forge a new path… or finish what Rafe started.
