Max lifted his face, holding his breath. That name—Lord Hades—still echoed in his mind. Max first met Lord Hades when he was just fifteen. It happened after the darkest night of his life, the night he nearly killed a man who had threatened his mother. In the chaos of fleeing and in a storm of uncontrollable rage, Max ran into the ruins of an old temple on the outskirts of Morow State, a place now buried beneath towers and concrete. There, in the stillness and shadows of the broken stones, Lord Hades appeared. The man stood among the pillars, his eyes glowing faintly like embers. He didn’t speak much, just looked at Max with a gaze that seemed to pierce his skin and bones. “You have fire inside you,” he said that night, “but you let it burn the ones you love.” That was the beginning of Max’s journey with Lord Hades. For over ten years, he was secretly trained, not only in martial arts but also in mastering his emotions, spiritual awareness, and connecting to an energy dimension s

Max stood still for a long moment, letting the silence take over, before finally descending the stairs and giving Seraphina a subtle signal to leave. The woman straightened her bag with an air of arrogance, her eyes gleaming as if she had just won a game.“Max,” she said, pausing at the doorway, “you must come back to me. We need to get married soon. If you hesitate, I will spread the news.”“All of Morow State will read on social media and watch on the news channels how you abandoned your mother for five months. Imagine what that will do to your reputation, your business, your influence.”She flashed a triumphant smile and walked out, leaving behind the sharp scent of her perfume. Max didn’t respond. He simply closed his eyes, suppressing his anger and his unwillingness to take the bait.Once Seraphina’s car had driven away, Max pulled out his phone and pressed a number.“Zoza.”“Sir,” came the raspy voice of the former mafia man, quick and alert.“I need two women, professional nurs

Max returned to his parents' house. Now, the power he carried wasn’t just for fighting, but also for healing. And there was no one more deserving of that gift than his mother—the woman who had suffered for years from a rare illness that doctors couldn’t even name. The moment he stepped inside, a strong, unfamiliar scent hit him. Expensive perfume. Sharp and invasive. In the living room, his father was sitting comfortably with a wide smile on his face, next to his young wife who looked as smug as ever. Max didn’t say a word. He didn’t even glance their way. Without stopping, he walked straight up the stairs. But he paused in front of his mother’s bedroom. The door was slightly open... from the outside. That was strange. His mother had always been protective of her privacy. Max slowly pushed the door open, and the first thing he saw was a familiar figure sitting on the edge of the bed. Seraphina. But that wasn’t the most shocking part. His mother was sitting up in be

Everyone in Morow State knew who Zoza was. His name echoed in every corner of the city, from fancy VIP rooms in nightclubs to the dark alleys of the lower districts. He was close to the elites, often seen with politicians, powerful businessmen, even celebrities who openly relied on him to handle their dirty problems. Zoza was the shadow behind many shady political decisions and corrupt business deals. If someone wanted to get rid of a rival or make a deal that couldn’t be refused, they came to him. But today, that man was standing in front of Max with his head bowed. No threats, no smug look, just quiet submission. A clear sign that the old power had fallen. And when Max spoke, everyone listened. "I know you all know who he is," Max said calmly, but his voice carried all the way to the edge of the crowd. "Zoza used to stand on the wrong side. But starting today, he stands with me. He’s my right hand. My most trusted man. And he’s going to watch over Morow State from now on." T

Meanwhile, in downtown Morow State… Neon lights flickered above the city’s most luxurious nightclub. The music boomed, expensive liquor glasses cluttered the VIP tables, and triumphant laughter echoed from three men deep in celebration—Dominic, James, and Darrus. Dominic leaned back against the plush sofa, flanked by two scantily clad escorts. He raised his wine glass high, brimming with victory. “To Morow State’s soon-to-be new gubernatorial spokesman!” he declared with a smug laugh, met with cheers and the clinking of glasses from the other two men. James, already half-drunk, nodded proudly as he patted his son’s shoulder. “You deserve it, Dominic. After tonight, Max will be nothing but a memory. Mount Alken’s the perfect place to make someone disappear—no witnesses, just rocks and wild beasts.” Darrus chuckled, lifting his own glass. “And once Dominic rises, I’ll be back in the governor’s seat. Morow State will be back in our hands—where it belongs!” The three of them burst i

In front of the governor’s office, more than a hundred people gathered in a massive demonstration. They shouted demands for Max to be removed from his position.Banners and posters filled the crowd with sharp criticisms: "Cowardly Leader!" "Max Ran Away, Morow is in Ruins!" "Governor, Fire Max Now!"The chaos was further fueled by the media, which kept reporting that Max was irresponsible and merely looking for an excuse to avoid the difficult situation.***On the other side, Max had just descended from Mount Alken. His steps were firm as he walked toward the parking area where he had left his car.However, upon arriving, his eyes narrowed as he noticed that all four of his tires had been deliberately deflated. His lips thinned, and his expression turned cold.He knew this was no coincidence. Someone wanted to stop him here.Max could feel sharp gazes watching him from the shadows. His battle instincts immediately kicked in. Calmly, he lifted his head slightly and spoke in a col
