The journey back to Apple City was silent.

Terminator X led the way, ever vigilant, while Juliet stayed close to Louis, her gaze never leaving his broken form.

They had defeated the Eternals, but at what cost?

Louis’s body, still scarred from the Heart's energy, was a reminder of the toll it had taken on him.

But he was alive.

And that, in itself, was something.

As they entered Apple City, the streets felt quieter than ever.

The Eternals had been dealt a massive blow, but they both knew, deep down, that their victory was far from final.

The organization still lurked in the shadows, its leaders scattered but not defeated.

Inside a dark, abandoned room far from the city’s reach, an Eternal leader stood, watching the reports unfold on the screen.

His face was a mask of cold fury, his fingers curling into fists as he stared at the image of Louis’s collapse.

"Louis... you think you've won?" The leader’s voice was low, filled with venom.

"This is just the beginning. You will pay for what yo

    Louis looked at him, his curiosity piqued despite the overwhelming weight of the Heart's pull."What did you find?"Terminator X flipped open the journal and showed them the new discovery:a page filled with cryptic symbols and a detailed map.His finger traced the ancient text, his voice steady as he spoke."It’s a council of former Eternal leaders. They call themselves The Remnants," he said, his tone heavy with meaning."They were once part of the Eternals but broke away, exiled for opposing the corruption within their ranks. They’ve gone underground, and according to your mother’s notes, they guard something... something powerful."Louis frowned, his brow furrowing."What are they guarding?"Terminator X's finger moved to the next part of the journal, where a symbol resembling an ancient mirror was sketched."The Mirror of Truth. It’s said to reveal the true intentions of any wielder of the Heart."Louis’s pulse quickened at the mention of the Mirror. It sounded like the key to ev

    The sun was low in the sky, casting golden rays through the towering trees of the Forgotten Forest.The air was thick with the scent of moss and damp earth, and an eerie silence hung over the group as they pressed deeper into the labyrinth of twisting paths and dense foliage.Louis walked with a noticeable limp, leaning heavily on Juliet's arm.His body still hadn’t recovered from the Heart’s toll, but the artifact's presence within him was stronger than ever.Each step seemed to pulse with energy, and with it came fragments of visions—memories that weren’t his."Are you sure about this?" Juliet asked, her voice barely above a whisper.She kept her eyes on the trail ahead, her other hand gripping a dagger tightly."This forest... it feels wrong.""I’m sure," Louis replied, though his voice lacked conviction.His eyes flicked to Terminator X, who was scanning their surroundings with a handheld tracker, its screen displaying the journal's decoded coordinates."We’re close. The Mirror is

    Another figure spoke, their voice cold."Those who attempt to bypass the Judgment will find only death."Juliet stepped in front of Terminator X, her voice calm but firm."Let’s hear them out. If this is the only way to reach the Mirror, we’ll face it."The masked leader pointed a gnarled staff at Louis."The Heart chooses its bearer, but its power corrupts. If you are unworthy, it will consume you, as it has consumed others before you."Louis felt a surge of anger rise within him, but he forced it down."Then let me face your Judgment," he said, his voice unwavering."If the Mirror is the key to controlling the Heart, I’ll do whatever it takes."The figures exchanged glances, their masks revealing nothing of their thoughts.Finally, the leader nodded. "Very well. The Judgment begins."The air within the circle shimmered, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble.Louis felt the pull of the Heart intensify, drawing him toward the center of the stones.He looked back at Julie

    Juliet stood in a dimly lit room, the walls adorned with gilded mirrors that reflected her younger self.She was dressed in an elegant gown, her hair styled to perfection.In the largest mirror, her parents stood behind her, their faces solemn."This is all your fault," her father’s voice boomed, the accusation cutting through her like a blade.Juliet spun around, her chest tightening."No, I—I didn’t mean for it to happen!"The reflection twisted, her parents’ faces contorting into masks of disdain."You wanted independence," her mother hissed."You wanted to prove yourself. And look where it got us."The mirrors shattered, shards flying around her like a storm.Each piece reflected a memory of her parents’ downfall—their estate seized, their status lost, and their once-proud family left in ruins.Juliet fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face."I only wanted to help...""You destroyed us," the voices echoed.The shadows began to close in, and Juliet’s sobs grew louder.Term

    The darkness pressed in on Louis, suffocating and cold.The shadows taunted him, whispering his failures, his fears, and the inevitability of his fall.But this time, Louis didn’t flinch. The vision of destruction, the twisted reflection of himself—it was all a test."I’m not alone," he reminded himself, the memory of Juliet’s voice and Terminator X’s unyielding loyalty grounding him.With a guttural cry, Louis surged forward, the Heart pulsing brighter in his chest.The shadowy figure, his darker self, stumbled back, momentarily blinded."You think their faith will save you?" the doppelgänger sneered."It already has," Louis replied, slamming his fists into the ground.A wave of light burst from him, shattering the oppressive shadows.Juliet’s vision of her shattered family began to dissolve as she clung to the sound of Louis’s voice.She stood tall, staring into the broken shards around her."This guilt isn’t mine to carry," she declared."I did what I thought was right. I won’t let

    Louis stumbled back, his breathing ragged as the Mirror’s surface returned to stillness.Juliet caught him, her arms steadying him as he fought to regain composure."What did you see?" she asked softly."Everything," Louis murmured, his voice hollow."Every choice I make... it leads to pain. But I can’t stop now."The leader of the Remnants stepped forward."The Heart’s influence grows stronger, Louis. Each choice will bring you closer to ruin or salvation. The Mirror has shown you what may come—but it is you who decides what will be."Terminator X placed a firm hand on Louis’s shoulder."Whatever happens, you’ve got us. We’ll face it together."Louis nodded, though his mind raced with the visions.The cost of wielding the Heart was clear, but so was his purpose.The fight against the Eternals wasn’t just about vengeance—it was about protecting those he cared for, no matter the price.As they left the stone circle, the leader of the Remnants called after them."Beware, Louis.

    As the battle raged on, Terminator X noticed a cluster of generators fueling the Seer’s constructs.He turned to Louis."If I take out those generators, we’ll have a chance to turn the tide," Terminator X said.Louis hesitated."It’s too risky.""I’ve faced worse. Cover me," Terminator X said before charging toward the generators.Louis and Juliet fought their way through the enemy ranks, clearing a path for Terminator X.The mercenary-turned-cybernetic warrior reached the generators and rigged an explosive charge."Time to even the odds," Terminator X muttered as he activated the detonator.The explosion rocked the sanctuary, sending debris flying in every direction.The Seer’s constructs faltered, their forms flickering as the generators’ energy was severed.But the blast came at a cost. The ceiling above Terminator X collapsed, pinning him under a massive slab of stone."X!" Louis shouted, rushing to his side."Go!" Terminator X grunted, his face twisted in pain."The Mirror... you

    Louis stared at it, his jaw clenched, the weight of failure pressing down on him like a vice."We’re running out of time," he muttered, pacing back and forth."Without the Mirror, I can’t see the paths clearly. We’re fighting blind."Juliet leaned against the wall, her arms crossed."We still have options. If we split up, we can cover more ground and track The Seer before she unlocks the fragment’s power.""That’s reckless," Terminator X interjected, his voice sharp. "Dividing our forces will make us easier targets. The Seer knows we’re desperate—she’ll exploit that."Juliet’s eyes narrowed."And sitting here doing nothing won’t help either. Every second we waste, she’s getting stronger."Louis stopped pacing, his gaze snapping to both of them."Enough."The silence that followed was deafening. Louis pressed his hands to his temples, the Heart pulsing faintly in his chest.The visions it once provided were now fragmented, incomprehensible flashes of possible futures."A shattered fu

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 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

    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.

    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

    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’

    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

    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 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.
