FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 108
Outside, Louis paced the clearing, his nerves frayed as the manor continued to collapse in on itself.“We can’t just leave them!” Pearl shouted, her frustration boiling over.“I know,” Louis snapped, though his own frustration was directed inward.He clenched his fists, the weight of leadership pressing down on him.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows, coughing and limping.“Juliet!” Pearl cried, rushing to meet her.Juliet stumbled into Pearl’s arms, her face streaked with soot and tears.“Where’s Terminator X?” Louis demanded, his voice sharp.Juliet shook her head, unable to meet his eyes.“He… he didn’t make it. He’s still inside.”Louis’s stomach dropped. He turned back toward the manor, his instincts screaming at him to go back.“Louis, no!” Juliet grabbed his arm, her grip like iron.“He made his choice. If you go back, you’ll die too.”Louis hesitated, his jaw tightening as he struggled against the urge to run into the flames.“He bought us time,” Juliet continued, her

They reached a small clearing as dawn broke, the light filtering through the trees and casting an ethereal glow on the dew-covered ground.Louis finally stopped, setting the journal down on a flat rock.“We’ll rest here,” he said gruffly, avoiding Pearl’s gaze.Pearl sat down heavily on the grass, her shoulders slumping. Juliet crouched next to her, placing a comforting hand on her back.“He’s not thinking clearly,” Pearl whispered, her voice trembling.“He’s grieving,” Juliet said softly.“We all are. But he’s not wrong, Pearl. The Arbiter won’t stop unless we stop him.”“But at what cost?” Pearl asked, looking up at Juliet with tear-filled eyes.Juliet didn’t have an answer.Louis sat a few feet away, the journal open in his lap.His eyes scanned the pages, his mind racing with possibilities.The evidence inside was damning—names, dates, transactions—all tying The Arbiter to countless crimes.It was enough to take down not just him, but the entire Eternals network.But the system wa

“What do we do now?” Pearl asked, her voice shaky.“He’s put a bounty on your head. Everyone in the city will be after you.”Louis ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing.“We keep moving. He’s trying to flush us out, force us into making a mistake.”Juliet crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing in thought.“This isn’t just about you. He’s trying to destroy any credibility we have left. If we don’t fight back with the truth, the entire city will turn against us.”“And how do we do that?” Pearl demanded.“He controls the media, the police, probably half the politicians. How do we get anyone to believe us?”Louis paced the room, his hands clenched into fists.“We start by exposing him. The journal has enough dirt to dismantle his empire, but we need a way to get it out without it being intercepted.”“And without getting killed in the process,” Juliet added.“The moment you show your face, every bounty hunter and opportunist will come running.”Louis stopped pacing, his eyes locking o

Louis sat at the table, the remnants of his mother’s journal spread out before him.Pearl stood by the window, eyes scanning the darkened streets below.Juliet paced, her phone pressed to her ear as she spoke in a low, urgent tone."Yes, I know the risks," Juliet said, her voice sharp."I don’t need a reminder. Just get us the safe passage. We can’t afford to wait any longer."She paused, listening intently, her brow furrowing."Understood. Make sure it’s secure. We’ll be there tomorrow."She hung up and turned to Louis, her face grim."They’re in position. We leave at dawn."Louis looked up, his jaw clenched."And the Arbiter?""His men are everywhere." Juliet’s voice was laced with frustration."He’s turning the city against you. The law enforcement, the media—everyone's bought into his lies. The entire city is a powder keg, and we're the match."Pearl turned away from the window, her expression hardening."It won’t be easy. You can’t just walk out of here with your head held high. Y

“Get down!” he shouted, pushing Juliet behind him.Pearl immediately moved to the side, pulling out her gun.“We’ve got company,” she said, her voice steady despite the situation.A figure appeared in the doorway, silhouetted by the dim light from the hall.His face was concealed by a black mask, but the cold glint in his eyes was unmistakable—this was no ordinary assassin.Juliet’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the type of threat.“It’s a hitman,” she whispered, her voice low but urgent.“They’ve found us.”Before anyone could react, the man lunged forward, aiming a silenced pistol at Juliet.Pearl’s reflexes kicked in immediately. She lunged forward, knocking Juliet out of the line of fire just in time.The bullet grazed Pearl’s side as she took the hit, her body twisting with the force.“No!” Juliet cried, scrambling to help her as Pearl staggered back, her hand clutching her wound.“I’m fine,” Pearl gasped, her voice strained as she fired at the assassin, forcing him to r

The journey began at dawn.The road to the mountains was unforgiving, winding through dense forests and narrow cliffs.Pearl sat in the backseat, her injuries bandaged but her strength still waning. Despite her condition, she refused to be left behind."I can fight," she insisted, though her voice lacked its usual fire."I’m not sitting this out."Louis shot her a warning look."You’re barely able to sit up. You’re staying in the car when we get there."Pearl’s glare was weak but defiant."I’ve come this far. You think I’m going to back out now?"Juliet sighed from the driver’s seat."Both of you, save your energy. We’ll need it when we get there."The mountains loomed ahead, their jagged peaks cutting into the sky like teeth. As they neared the monastery, the air grew colder, the weight of their mission settling heavily on their shoulders.When the car finally stopped at the edge of a rocky trail, Louis stepped out, helping Pearl to her feet despite her protests."I’m fine," she mutt

Taking a deep breath, Louis stepped onto a tile marked with the emblem.The stone beneath his foot clicked into place, and nothing happened."Looks like you’re onto something," Pearl said, watching from behind.Louis moved cautiously, stepping only on tiles with the emblem while guiding Juliet and Pearl.Each step felt like a gamble, but the group made it across the grid without incident."One down," Louis muttered, glancing at the dark hallway ahead."What’s next?"The next chamber was vast, its ceiling high and adorned with a chandelier of rusted chains.At the center stood a pedestal holding a crystal orb, glowing faintly.Surrounding it were three statues, each holding weapons aimed at the pedestal.Juliet frowned."This has ‘trap’ written all over it."Pearl chuckled weakly."No kidding. What’s the journal say?"Juliet skimmed through the pages, her brow furrowed."‘To claim the light, one must extinguish the past.’ What does that mean?"Louis approached the pedestal, his hand ho

The air in the monastery’s center was different—heavy, charged with an energy that made the hair on the back of Louis’s neck stand on end.Before them, on an ornate pedestal surrounded by intricate carvings, rested the Heart of the Eternals.The crystalline orb glowed faintly, pulsating like a heartbeat, its light casting eerie reflections on the ancient stone walls.“This is it,” Juliet whispered, her voice barely audible.She took a step closer, the journal clutched tightly in her hands.“The Heart of the Eternals.”Pearl leaned against a pillar, her injuries still evident but her determination unshaken.“Doesn’t look too scary. Guess we’ll just grab it and go.”As Louis approached the pedestal, the ground beneath their feet trembled.A low rumble echoed through the chamber, and the carvings on the walls began to glow, their light intensifying with each passing second.Juliet’s eyes widened.“Wait—Louis, stop! The journal mentioned something about a defense mechanism—”Before she co

The Grand Imperial Hotel stood on the edge of collapse. The once-luxurious ballroom was now a war zone—cracked marble floors, shattered chandeliers, and fallen pillars bore witness to the terrifying clash that had just unfolded.But the fight was far from over.The Eternal Clan refused to accept defeat.Hundreds of cultivators in dark robes surged forward, their eyes burning with both fury and desperation. Behind them, the four remaining Elders of the Eternal Clan floated midair, their aura surging like a rising storm.A tall, silver-haired elder at the front, Head Elder Fang, raised his hand, halting his disciples. His voice carried across the ruined hall, sharp and venomous."Louis Kindsor… you have underestimated the power of the Eternal Clan." His fingers tightened into a fist. "We are not merely a group of cultivators—we are a legacy that has stood for centuries. You will not walk away from this alive."Louis remained standing in the same spot. His black suit, still pristine, gav

A suffocating silence filled the grand hall. The golden chandeliers above flickered slightly, disturbed by the lingering shockwaves of Bai’s Heaven-Severing Palm. The dust had settled, but the tension in the air was thicker than ever.All eyes were locked onto Louis Kindsor.Unmoved. Unshaken. Unbothered.Bai, on the other hand, was breathing heavily, his composure cracking. "Y-You…" He clenched his fists, the veins on his arms bulging. "What trick did you use? How did you withstand my most powerful technique?"Louis chuckled, stepping forward.The sound of his shoes tapping against the marble floor echoed like a death knell."Trick?" He tilted his head, amusement flickering in his eyes. "I just didn't find it worth dodging."Bai’s expression twisted into rage. "Arrogant brat!" He roared, summoning his Qi once more.But before he could react—Louis flicked his finger.BOOM!The very air detonated from the sheer force, sending a visible shockwave blasting through the arena. The floor c

The massive ballroom of Apple City’s Grand Imperial Hotel was packed with the city’s wealthiest elites, politicians, and hidden cultivators from ancient sects. Crystal chandeliers bathed the crowd in golden light, while murmurs of anticipation rippled through the sea of tailored suits and designer gowns.At the center of the hall stood Grandmaster Bai, an imposing figure clad in dark martial robes embroidered with golden dragons. His presence radiated an aura of overwhelming dominance—an iron will forged through decades of cultivation. His piercing gaze swept across the audience before settling on one man.Louis Kindsor.Dressed in an immaculate black suit, one hand casually swirling a glass of deep red wine, the other resting lazily in his pocket, Louis exuded an air of indifference.Bai scoffed. "So, this is the so-called king of Apple City? A mere businessman who stumbled upon a bit of power?" His voice was sharp, cutting through the murmurs of the crowd. "The Eternal Clan does not
CHAPTER 312
The arena was silent.The crowd, packed with Apple City’s elite, watched in anticipation. Some were excited, others terrified, but all of them had one question burning in their minds:Was Louis Kindsor truly insane for accepting this challenge?Opposite him, standing tall and unshaken, was Elder Ming—a renowned martial arts master, the undefeated champion of Zhao Corp’s underground fight division. His reputation was legend.Ming was an old lion, grizzled and wise, with more than sixty years of experience. His sheer aura of dominance made lesser men tremble.And right now? He was amused.Ming cracked his knuckles, his movements slow and deliberate. "You must be joking."Louis didn’t respond. He simply stood there, calm and still, watching.Ming smirked. "You dare challenge me? You’re not even a cultivator!"Laughter rippled through the crowd.Zhao Jingwei, now seated like a king in the VIP section, leaned back, a sneer on his lips. "This is what happens when a businessman overestimates

In the center of the room, by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sat Louis.Calm. Unmoved.Sipping tea.A delicate porcelain cup in his fingers, steam rising in soft, slow curls.His eyes met Wu Ren’s through the darkness, unreadable, as if he had been expecting him all along.Wu Ren’s fingers tightened around his blade.This wasn’t normal.No fear. No surprise. No attempt to defend himself.Louis exhaled softly. "You’re late."Wu Ren didn’t hesitate.His blade flashed forward, moving faster than the human eye could track.A perfect strike.Straight for the throat.The end of Louis Kindsor.And then—CRACK.Before Wu Ren’s strike could connect, Louis simply lifted a hand.With one casual motion, he waved his fingers—And Wu Ren’s blade shattered.Splinters of steel exploded mid-air, the fragments cutting into Wu Ren’s own skin.Pain lanced up his wrist as the bones snapped under an unseen force.Wu Ren staggered back, gasping, his entire arm useless, mangled.This shouldn’t be possible.Wu
CHAPTER 310
Just as Marcus Fang’s humiliation reached its peak, another figure rose from the crowd.Zhao Rui—the young master of the Zhao Family, one of the wealthiest corporate dynasties in the country. Suave, arrogant, and dangerously ambitious.“Louis Kindsor.”His voice rang through the hall, measured but filled with undisguised contempt.Louis glanced up, unimpressed.Zhao Rui stepped forward, adjusting the cuffs of his tailored suit. "I hope you enjoyed your little stunt. But understand this—taking over a single venue means nothing in the real game."Louis didn’t reply, simply watching.Zhao Rui smirked. "Fang Enterprises was never a real contender. But my family?" He spread his arms slightly. "We are on a different level. You should know that. So let me make this clear."The entire ballroom listened in silence.“Starting tonight, I am declaring war on you. Every business tied to Kindsor Holdings will be under attack—your suppliers, your partners, your contracts.”He leaned in slightly. "I’
CHAPTER 309
The room shimmered with wealth and arrogance. A ballroom filled with Apple City’s most powerful elites, corporate giants, and crime lords in tailored suits and designer gowns. Crystal chandeliers cast golden light over conversations that weren’t just business—they were power plays.And in the center of it all, standing with a glass of whiskey in hand, was Marcus Fang.A man who had spent his life crawling through the filth of the corporate underworld, only to polish himself into something resembling legitimacy. A CEO, an investor, and most importantly—a man still clinging to the ashes of The Eternal Clan.He smirked as he addressed the crowd, voice carrying just enough mockery to be a challenge.“Louis Kindsor? Oh, please.” Marcus chuckled, swirling his drink lazily. “He was only dangerous because of The Broker. Now? He’s nothing but a fallen prince—no throne, no power, just a name that used to mean something.”A ripple of laughter spread through the guests. Some joined in; others exc
CHAPTER 308
Apple City had changed.With The Broker dead, his network had crumbled like a house of cards. Bank accounts were seized. Businesses were reclaimed. Corrupt officials turned on each other.And Louis Kindsor stood at the center of it all.He wasn’t just a businessman anymore.He was the king in the shadows.But power came with a cost.And his was just beginning.The penthouse was silent. Too silent.Louis stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out over the city. His city.Pearl leaned against the bar, sipping a glass of whiskey, watching him carefully. “So, that’s it, huh?”Louis didn’t turn. “No. It’s just the beginning.”Juliet, seated on the couch with her arms crossed, exhaled. “Then why does it feel like we’re waiting for the next explosion?”Louis finally turned. His gaze was sharp, unreadable.“Because we are.”Pearl set her glass down, tapping her nails against the crystal. “You’ve already won, Louis. Apple City is yours. The Broker’s empire is in ruins. What’s left?”Loui

The island burned, but the world didn’t.The countdown had stopped.Juliet had done it.From the underground facility, her fingers flew over the terminal, sweat dripping down her temple as the final override command executed.00:00:0500:00:0400:00:03Then—a single beep.“Self-destruct sequence disengaged.”She exhaled, a shaky breath, then slammed her fist against the console."Louis! It's over! I shut it down!"No response.Juliet’s stomach twisted.Where was he?Louis stood over The Broker, his breath coming in slow, measured exhales.Smoke curled from the shattered monitors, sparks flickering from damaged consoles. The entire control room was ruined, the glass walls cracked, alarms screaming in the background.The Broker was on the ground, coughing blood, his body broken.But he was still smiling.Louis stared down at him, expression unreadable."It's over," Louis said, voice low.The Broker chuckled, spitting blood onto the floor. "Is it?"His eyes, even through the pain, were moc
