COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 136: Secrets of the Shadows
Nathan's heart pounded in his chest as he turned to face Max, who was eyeing him with suspicion. He quickly ended the call with Kim, trying to compose himself."Uh, Max, I was just talking to my cousin," Nathan stammered, his voice betraying his anxiety. "He’s been worried about me, you know, after the... incident."Max's eyes narrowed, clearly unconvinced. "Your cousin? Then why were you whispering?, if I didn't know any better I would think you were up to something"Nathan swallowed hard. "I didn’t want to interrupt the meeting. It was a quick call."Max took a step closer, his presence intimidating. "You better not be hiding anything, Nathan. You know how things work around here."Nathan nodded vigorously. "Of course, Max. I wouldn’t dream of it."Max studied him for a moment longer before finally nodding. "Alright. But remember, I’m watching you."As Max turned and walked away, Nathan let out a shaky breath. He needed to think fast. If Max or anyone else found out about his connec
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 137: Unsettling Alliance
Rain hesitated, seeing the shift in Vincenzo's expression from concern to guarded caution. She knew that pressing the topic could lead to more questions she wasn't ready to answer. Quickly, she decided to change the subject.“I…..uhm couldn’t hear you guys properly but I believed you were talking about the election.” She said, hoping to change the subject. "I wanted to ask you about the upcoming election event rally," she said, forcing a bright smile. "I'm excited about it."Vincenzo’s eyes softened again, though the tension didn’t completely leave his face. "The mayor election event rally? Yes, it’s coming up soon. We’re raising funds for the new campaign for Vittorio's election."Rain nodded eagerly. "I’d love to help with the preparations. Maybe I could coordinate with the supporters or handle the decorations?" Vincenzo’s smile returned, more genuine this time. "That sounds like a great idea. I’m sure your touch will make the event even more special."She relaxed a bit, relieved a
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 138: Hidden Desires
The luxurious grand ballroom at the Riverton Hotel was filled with a mix of wealth and political aspirations. Shimmering crystal chandeliers illuminate the guests mingling at Vittorio's campaign for mayor, each one a possible friend or foe. Rain nervously straightened her dress, looking around the room. Vincenzo stood next to her, providing a comforting anchor amidst the crowd of strangers. The two had just finished their passionate lovemaking and now they join the unknowing guests at the event."Chill out, Rain," Vincenzo quietly said, feeling her stress. "We're here to build friendships, not create adversaries." Rain forced a smile. “Easier said than done. Everyone looks like they’re plotting something.”Vincenzo chuckled. “Well babe, welcome to politics.”They moved through the crowd, exchanging polite nods and handshakes. Rain spotted Vittorio near the stage, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic supporters. He caught her eye and gave a reassuring nod.“Rain, Vincenzo! Over here!
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 139: The Confrontation
Luna walked back and forth in her room, with long shadows on the walls from the dim light of the chandelier. The memory of Nathan's conversation with Yuta kept replaying in her mind as she tightened her fists. She needed to face him and attempt to uncover the truth. A soft knock on her door broke her thoughts. "Luna? Are you in there?" Nathan’s voice was hesitant.Taking a deep breath, she opened the door. "We need to talk. Now."Nathan stepped inside, his face a mixture of concern and confusion. "What’s wrong?"Luna closed the door behind him, her eyes blazing. "I overheard your conversation with Yuta. I know you're working for the Yakuza."Nathan's eyes widened. "Luna, I—""Don't lie to me, Nathan!" Luna's voice was sharp, cutting through the air like a knife. "I know you're a spy for the Yakuza leader. I know everything."Nathan took a step back, his face paling. "Luna, please, let me explain—""You'd better tell me the whole truth," Luna interrupted, her tone fierce. "Or I’ll go

At the Mayor's Office“Mayor Anderson,” Randy said, his voice dripping with mock politeness. “We seem to have caught you in the middle of something.”Bobby smirked. “An interesting gathering you have here.”Kim and his men were now in the presence of the head of the Clayton family Randy and Bobby. And behind them was a legion of Clayton men.Kim’s eyes flicked to the twins, assessing the situation. “You should have told us you were expecting someone, Mayor?”Anderson swallowed hard. “I…..I wasn’t expecting them. They have… a vested interest in this election.”Randy’s smile widened. “Vested interest? That’s one way to put it.”Bobby crossed his arms. “We couldn’t help but notice you’re consorting with some low-tier mafia gangs, Anderson. Care to explain?”Anderson stammered, “I… I can explain. We were just discussing… security measures.”Randy’s eyes gleamed with amusement. “Security measures, huh? Sounds more like a conspiracy to me.”Kim stood, his expression unreadable. “This meetin
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 141: Stolen Moments
The following day, Rain woke up to the gentle glow of dawn shining through her curtains. She yawned and smiled happily, recalling the events of the night before. Vincenzo stayed late, whispering sweet words and keeping her close until early morning. His touch left a lasting imprint, filling her heart with warmth. Right on time, she received a message from him on her buzzing phone. “Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?”Rain smiled, as she looked around the bedroom wondering where Vincenzo was typing from as he was not in the room with her at the moment. But she quickly typed back.“I slept like a baby. Thanks to you. Where are you?His reply came almost instantly.“I had an early meeting to attend to, but I’m heading back now. I Couldn’t stop thinking about you. Are you ready for breakfast outside?”Rain asked with a genuine sense of curiosity.“Outside, outside Where?” Vincenzo said in a loving and mischievous tone.“It was a surprise. Be ready in 10 minutes. I will be back soon.”
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 142: A Close Call
Nathan adjusted the tiny tracker hidden in his watch, his fingers trembling slightly. "You sure this will work, Luna?" he asked, his voice low and hushed.Luna, standing a few feet away, nodded, her eyes intense with determination. "It has to. Just keep your cool and don't let them suspect anything. I'll be listening in the whole time."Luna had devised a plan to help Nathan gather enough evidence to help them, convince Vincenzo and the rest of the family that Nathan was coerced into being a spy. The plan involved Nathan meeting up with the Japanese gang and placing a tracker on Nathan as well as a mini spy camera. They would be able to gather enough evidence to show the family.Nathan inhaled deeply, attempting to calm his nerves. "Okay. I am taking a huge risk here.”Luna said as she placed her palm on Nathan's face. “ you are going to be fine, I promise.” She said as she placed a kiss on his lips.As their lips parted Nathan responded, “ Thanks babe, not just for this, but for also
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 143: Tension Rising
The tension in the air was palpable as Nathan left the warehouse, his mind racing with the implications of the meeting. He just managed to escape without raising any more doubts. As he made his way back to his car and then drove to the van Luna was in, he couldn't rid himself of the unsettling sense that something had gone very wrong. While Luna waited in the van, she anxiously tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. After Nathan eventually got in, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you’re okay," she said, her voice trembling slightly.Nathan nodded, still shaken. "They almost caught someone spying on us. I'm not sure who it was, but it could complicate things."Luna frowned, concern etched across her face. "We need to be more careful. Did you get any useful information?"Nathan recounted the conversation, his words tumbling out in a rush. "Kim wants me to get more substantial intel on Vincenzo's campaign. They’re planning something big, it's more likely to aid Mayor Ander

Chapter 172: Denouement
Covenants of Chaos: DenouementThe ruins of the Moretti estate still smoldered in the pale light of dawn. The air, thick with ash and the acrid stench of burning wood, carried the weight of a battle won, but at immeasurable cost. Lucas Kane stood amidst the rubble, his shoulders slumped, his breathing heavy. Beside him, Aria Moretti stared into the horizon, her expression unreadable.“You’re quiet,” Lucas said, breaking the silence. His voice was low, hesitant, as though afraid to shatter the fragile moment.Aria didn’t look at him. “What’s there to say?” Her tone was curt, but not sharp. “It’s over.”Lucas shifted, kicking a charred piece of debris with the toe of his boot. “Is it?” He gestured toward the ruins. “This… all of this didn’t just vanish because Silas is gone. The people he hurt, the lives he ruined—none of that disappears.”Aria finally turned to face him, her eyes glassy but resolute. “And what do you want me to do about it? Apologize for him? For what he did?” Her voic
Church 171: Covenants of Chaos
The storm roared over the Moretti property, thunder booming like artillery. Beneath the earth, the cavern shimmered with a foreboding, throbbing glow, archaic markings etched into the rocky ground creating sharp silhouettes. Lucas Kane knelt, his hands tied, as Silas Moretti's stare pressed heavily upon him."You seem let down," Silas remarked, walking back and forth in front of Lucas. The voice of the mafia boss was quiet and mocking. "Did you really believe you could simply enter my home, take what belongs to me, and walk away?" No, Lucas. This concludes here. "This evening, you'll truly grasp what genuine power resembles.""You don't need me for any of this," Lucas growled. He strained against the ropes binding him but didn't flinch. "Let my mother go. She's innocent." Silas laughed, cold and sharp. "Innocent? No one's innocent, Lucas. Least of all Evelyn Kane." He gestured to the corner of the chamber, where Lucas' mother sat slumped, her wrists chained to a metal loop in the wa
Chapter 170: The Offer
The Griffo mansion was quieter now, a deceptive calm settled over it. Vincenzo sat behind his desk, his mind occupied with the recent upheavals. The knock on the door broke his reverie.“Enter,” Vincenzo called, his voice steady.The door opened to reveal Sarai Min Jae, her expression resolute. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She had stayed at one of the safe houses they used to keep Nathan in when he was a captive. Her room was heavily monitored. In the office were Vincenzo, Enzo, and Marco who had his arm bandaged up from the gunshot wound.“Sarai,” he began, his voice soft but firm, “we need to talk.” Vincenzo gestured to the chair opposite him. “Sit. ”Marco stared at the 21-year-old girl who sat in front of the desk. She had nice black long hair, he fox eyes were an attractive feature Marco could not ignore. “I hope the safe house wasn’t too rough on you beautiful,” Marco said with a soft tone Sarai looked up at Marco and saw his nice smile. She quickly looked
Chapter 169: The Aftermath
The Griffo mansion bustled with activity. The aroma of antiseptics and the sound of groans filled the dense air. Marco was lying on an improvised medical table, his shirt drenched in blood. “Nurse!” Vincenzo barked, his voice echoing through the hall. “Get over here, now!”A middle-aged nurse hurried to Marco’s side, her hands steady despite the chaos around her. She carefully inspected Marco’s wound."This is going to hurt sir," she cautioned while getting her tools ready. Marco clenched his jaws. “Just do it.” The nurse nodded and quickly extracted the bullet from Marco's shoulder. He uttered a choked scream, his face twisted in agony. "Stay still," she advised while skillfully sewing up the wound. Vincenzo angrily and frustratingly paced nearby, his face a storm of emotion. He muttered to himself, “Dang it. How did they know we were coming.”Vanaken approached, his face pale. “Vincenzo, we need to talk.”Vincenzo stopped pacing and faced him. “What is it?”“The capos are argui

Kim’s office was dimly lit, the shadows playing across the walls as he waited. The silence was interrupted by a soft knock on the door.“Enter,” Kim called, his voice calm but authoritative.Nakamura stepped inside, his face a mask of professionalism. “You wanted to see me?”Kim gestured to the chair opposite his desk. “Sit. What’s the situation?”Nakamura sat, her eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned forward, his fingers steepled. “Max has informed me about a planned attack by the Griffo family on our organization. It’s set to happen tomorrow .”Kim’s eyes widened, but he quickly composed herself. “Do we know the details?”Nakamura nodded. “Max was able to get the specifics. They plan to hit our main warehouse and the casino simultaneously. They’re hoping to cripple us in one swift move. They are also planning to hit us here at the headquarters.”Kim lets out a low whistle. “Ambitious. But foolish. How reliable is Max’s intel?”“Not that reliable,” Nakamura replied. “But right now it

The day leading to the attack on the Yakuza gang left the mansion in a rare moment of calm. The tension had given way to a fragile sense of peace. As night fell, Vincenzo found himself outside Rain's room, his mind swirling with thoughts of their recent trials and her unexpected loyalty.He knocked softly. "Rain, it's me."The door opened, and Rain stood there, her eyes meeting his. "Vincenzo. What’s up?""I thought we could talk," Vincenzo said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "And maybe have a drink."Rain's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "A drink, huh? Sounds like you have something more in mind.""Perhaps," Vincenzo replied with a wink. "Join me in the study?"Rain agreed by nodding and closing the door behind her while she walked behind him down the hallway. The research was cozy and welcoming, with a fire crackling in the fireplace. Vincenzo filled two wine glasses and passed one to Rain. "To survive another day," he toasted, raising his glass. As he was indicating the upcomi
Chapter 166: The Tides of Betrayal
Vincenzo strode into the dimly lit room, the tension palpable in the air. The Capos were already gathered, their faces a mix of anger and anticipation. Rain followed closely behind, her expression unreadable. Vincenzo returns from his trip with Rain and gathers with the Capos as they discuss plans to lead a reprisal attack on the perpetrators, the Yakuza gang."Alright, let's get to it," Vincenzo said, taking his place at the head of the table. "We've all heard what happened. The Yakuza hit us hard. And it by safe to say there have been how dangerous enemy for a long time. According to Nathan’s insider info they were behind Pedro’s child trafficking operation. There are also the benefactors of the Mexican gang. They are also responsible for Luna’s death. We need to strike back, and we need to do it now."Rick, one of the Capos, leaned forward. "We need to hit them where it hurts. Their operations in the docks are crucial. We take that out, we cripple them.""Agreed," another Capo, Ant
Chapter 165: An Unwelcome Reunion
The heavy oak door creaked open, echoing through the grand yet somber mansion. Kim stood at the threshold, his face a mask of controlled emotion. He watched as his mother-in-law, Mrs. Park, shuffled in, her frail form supported by a cane."Mother," he greeted tersely, stepping aside to let her in. Behind her, Sarai Min Jae followed, her eyes scanning the opulent interior with a mix of nostalgia and unease."Save your greetings for someone who cares Kim," Mrs. Park replied, her voice hoarse. "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for Sarai. The poor girl just wants to see her father."Sarai, now a striking 21-year-old woman, stood awkwardly, clutching her bag. "Dad," she said softly.Kim's eyes softened briefly. "Sarai. It's been too long." Kim steps close to her extending his arm with an invitation to hug. “Come, my dear.” He said as he hugged his daughter and she hugged him back. Sarai had been living with her grandmother for the last six years. Mrs Park had previously refused to let Sa
Chapter 164: Love and Lies
Vincenzo and Rain were getting ready to head off to a crucial appointment as the sun started to rise over the edges of Philadelphia. Vincenzo had to deal with the loss of the shipping company they made use of to transport their illegal merchandise. Thanks to the new mayor's alliance with Clayton the company was now in their control. He would have gladly rescheduled to have more time to mourn Luna’s death but he knew he had to deal with this before they lost even more control of the city. Rain had persistently pushed to go with him, gradually breaking through Vincenzo's initial hesitation. "Do you really want to go with me?" With raised eyebrows, Vincenzo inquired, mildly amused, as he observed Rain packing a small suitcase. “It mostly going to be boring business talks and exchanges.”Rain flashed him a confident smile. "Absolutely. Someone has to keep you out of trouble."Vincenzo chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm not the one who needs a babysitter." He said indicating to Rain herself
