Meanwhile, Governor Darrus, Seraphina, and Dominic returned to the Hayes family residence.
The Lieutenant Governor, Avo, with his arrogant demeanor, had ruined the welcome dinner for Dominic, turning what should have been a warm occasion into a tense one.
Nevertheless, a spirit of optimism remained among them.
They were confident that Dominic would successfully take control of Morow State.
Their plans were solid, alliances firmly established, leaving no room for Max to turn the tables.
Max had already lost, and Dominic’s vision as the new leader of Morow State was becoming more tangible with each passing moment.
Darrus sat relaxed in the spacious living room.
Thoughts of the future began to fill his mind.
He felt proud of how his family had forged strong ties with Dominic’s influential family in the capital.
With these connections, Darrus envisioned a bright future ahead-opportunities for promotion, greater wealth, and an elevated social status.
He even imagined one day moving to the capital to further his promising political career.
All of it felt so close, just a few steps away.
Meanwhile, Dominic sat across the table, speaking confidently.
“It will only take me a year to manage Morow State better,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
“The state’s GDP will soar to $30 trillion. I will bring about significant change.”
Dominic seemed as though he had meticulously planned everything.
Darrus felt assured that with Dominic in control, their future would proceed as planned, perhaps even faster than expected.
With a faint smile, Darrus responded.
“You’re absolutely right, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
“With your capabilities, I believe Morow State will develop much faster than anyone could imagine.”
Dominic turned to Darrus, his eyes bright with confidence.
“There’s no doubt about it. We’re here to support you, Dominic,” Darrus continued.
“Our families have long built a strong bond, and I’m confident that with the political power we’ve established together, we’ll dominate everything.”
“Morow State, the capital-everything will be under our control in no time.”
Seraphina, listening to the conversation, smiled contentedly, fully supporting her father’s words.
After their serious discussion about Morow State’s future, the atmosphere began to ease.
Darrus enjoyed a cup of tea while Seraphina and Dominic sat across from each other on the sofa, conversing in a more relaxed tone.
With a playful smile, Seraphina began to tease.
“Dominic,” she said softly.
"You know, I never let that lowlife Max kiss or fuck me," she added with a sly grin.
Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately, responding to her teasing with a gaze full of desire.
He chuckled lightly, a smug smile forming on his face.
“Of course. I knew he would never be worthy of you. No one compares to me.”
Seraphina laughed softly, enjoying her flirtation.
She knew exactly how to captivate Dominic and command his full attention.
“Of course. No one could ever compare to you,” she replied, looking at him with a gaze full of admiration.
Darrus, sitting quietly in a nearby chair, merely smiled.
His expression showed understanding, as if he was fully aware of what was unfolding between Seraphina and Dominic.
He didn’t want to interrupt them.
Instead, he felt relieved seeing their relationship develop.
Darrus knew that their feelings for each other would bring benefits to their family, and for him, that was more important than anything else.
“Perhaps I’ll head to my room.”
Darrus finally said, hinting it was time for him to leave and give them some space.
He stood up, leaving them with a knowing look, as if giving his blessing for their relationship to progress further.
Once Darrus was gone, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
It became more intimate!
Seraphina stood up, walking slowly toward Dominic with a mischievous gaze.
Without a word, Dominic pulled Seraphina into his arms, their bodies drawing closer.
Dominic’s hand gently stroked Seraphina’s hair, while Seraphina gazed at him with a passionate look.
“I want us to be closer, Dominic.”
She whispered, her voice filled with uncontrollable desire.
Seraphina took Dominic’s hand, leading him toward her luxurious private bathroom.
A large bathtub filled with warm, steaming water and overflowing bubbles awaited them, surrounded by aromatherapy candles exuding a gentle fragrance.
Of course, she had prepared all of this before.
As Dominic and Seraphina became increasingly lost in their intimacy, Dominic couldn’t resist mocking Max.
His face brimmed with arrogance, and his words flowed effortlessly.
“Imagine Max now, sitting in that prison cell,” he said with a light laugh.
“He must be wailing and crying, feeling so unfairly treated, while we’re having fun,” he continued.
Seraphina simply smiled, savoring every word Dominic uttered.
He carried on with even more confidence.
“Perhaps he’s still hoping, praying to get out, but that will never happen.”
However…
They had no idea that while they were caught up in their passion, Max’s situation in prison was completely different from what they imagined!

Laron froze, as if he had just been slapped by reality. But fear kept his mouth moving. “I’m serious! We were only told to persuade you, not fight! Just come with me for a bit, I’ll make sure Jax won’t hurt you! I even… I’ll even pay you if I have to.” He reached into his pocket with trembling hands, pulled out his wallet, and took out several large bills. “Here! Take this, please… just come with me to the hall. You don’t know what he’ll do if—” Via’s short laugh cut him off. She stepped forward, closing the distance between them to only a few meters. Her eyes were sharp, full of contempt. “You think I’m afraid of a spoiled brat hiding behind his family’s name?” she said softly, but her words struck like a blade. “And you think that cheap money is enough to make me give myself up?” Laron froze. Maso, who had been silent all along, stepped back half a pace, his face pale. Via continued, her voice cold and firm, “Tell Jax that if he still wants to cause trouble, I’ll ma

Laron and Maso exchanged terrified looks, their faces pale. They both understood what Jax’s gaze had meant just now. It was the look of burning rage, ready to explode at any moment. “Chase them,” Jax repeated, his voice low and pressing, almost like a growl. “J-Jax, maybe it’s better if—” Laron didn’t get to finish his sentence. Jax’s sharp glare silenced him instantly, the words dying in his throat. “Do you want me to drag you there myself?” Jax’s tone turned cold.Maso swallowed hard. He knew there was no safe place when Jax was angry. Both of them had often been the target of Jax’s fury, whether through insults, slaps, or ridiculous punishments over the smallest mistakes. So, as always, they had no choice but to obey. “Alright… we’ll go after them,” Laron muttered, barely audible.The two of them ran quickly toward the backstage area, following the direction where Aurora and Via had disappeared. Their steps were hurried, but their hearts were filled with fear, not only at the t

Aurora took a deep breath as they reached the marble staircase leading to the main entrance of the building. Soft music from inside the hall drifted faintly through the air, blending with the laughter of students who had just arrived. Max couldn’t come with Aurora because he had an important meeting, but he had promised her he would arrive before her piano performance at the opening event. That was why Max had quietly deployed a tight security team without Aurora’s knowledge, and only Via knew about it. Via walked half a step ahead, her eyes scanning the surroundings with alert precision. The small communicator in her ear flickered briefly—it was a report from the internal security team. Everything was normal. For a moment, Via felt she could lower her shoulders a little. But that calm didn’t last long. From the left, three men appeared, walking casually, wearing semi-formal suits that looked far too flashy for a campus event. One of them, tall with neatly combed hair in an exp

Yanom stood with his back to the window, his shoulders rising and falling as he tried to contain his anger. The veins on his neck were tense, his jaw clenched hard. His hand, still covered in blood, gripped a shard of glass that reflected the red light from the city below. “Killed by a woman?” His voice was deep, filled with restrained fury. “My most trusted man… killed by a woman?” He slowly turned around, his gaze so sharp it could steal someone’s breath away. “Do you understand what this means?” The young man barely dared to look up. “M-Mr. Yanom… we have tracked her using the facial recognition system. Cameras from three different districts detected the same woman.” He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “Her identity… matches one of the students from Dark Academy.” The air in the room instantly froze. Yanom’s eyes widened, sharp and dangerous like a wounded beast. “Dark Academy?” His voice turned low and heavy, almost a growl. He walked toward his subordinate, each step ec

Via gave a faint smile. “Yes. At Dark Academy, we had a special subject for that. For killing by decapitation.” She paused for a moment, staring coldly at the severed head. “Unfortunately, I left before reaching that class.” Max exhaled quietly, as if suppressing laughter. “You did well, even without graduating from there.” Via only bowed her head politely. When the plastic was fully open, Hamoz’s head was visible. His face was pale, his eyes still slightly open. Max leaned closer, examining it with sharp eyes like an eagle. “This is him,” Via said softly. She pointed at the victim’s neck. “Every member of the demon cult has a tattoo on their neck. It’s their membership mark.” Max studied the strange black pattern on the skin, shaped like an open eye. “Do you know any other signs?” asked Max. Via nodded. “They often spend their time at night, pretending to be ordinary people. Most of them enjoy themselves in nightclubs. I found this man there.” Max leaned back in his chair

Via immediately stepped back half a pace and shook her head quickly. “Ah, no, Miss. You can’t. This… contains natural poison!”“If you touch it before it’s planted, it can be dangerous. They say the poison disappears only after it touches the soil,” Via explained.Aurora was taken aback. “Poison?”Max quickly replied in a calm tone, as if everything made perfect sense. “That’s right, Babe. I’ve heard about that kind of pumpkin before. It needs to be planted first so that the poison can dissolve into the ground.”He looked at Aurora with a reassuring smile. “So, it’s better not to open it yet, okay?”Aurora nodded slowly, beginning to understand. “Oh… all right then. I didn’t know there was such a kind of pumpkin.”She looked at Via with a mix of admiration and relief. “You’re really dedicated to your job. That’s impressive.”Via smiled brightly, her face glowing at the praise. “Thank you, Miss.”Then she turned her gaze back to Max, her eyes sparkling with hope. “So, does this mean I
