FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 159
Louis's hands trembled as he worked feverishly at the control panel.Sparks flew, and warning lights flared, casting the room in an ominous red glow."Louis, we don’t have time!" Juliet yelled over the chaos, her voice sharp with urgency as she deflected another wave of guards with precise, calculated strikes.Terminator X stood beside her, firing shot after shot, keeping the advancing forces at bay."I know!" Louis shouted back, his voice cracking under the strain."But if I rush this, we all go up in flames!"The Seer’s forces were relentless.Drones buzzed into the room, their weapons locking onto the group.Terminator X fired at them with deadly precision, but for every one he destroyed, another seemed to take its place.“This isn’t sustainable!” Terminator X growled.“Louis, finish it!”Louis wiped the sweat from his brow, his heart pounding.The core of the cannon pulsed dangerously, and he could feel its energy vibrating through the floor."I'm almost there... just a few more—"

The cold, metallic hum of the high-security prison reverberated through its halls.Terminator X sat in a reinforced chair, his arms and legs bound with glowing restraints that pulsed faintly with energy, neutralizing his strength.Opposite him, a hologram of The Seer flickered to life.Her piercing gaze scanned him, the edges of her lips curling into a satisfied smirk.“You’ve been quite the thorn in my side,” she said, her tone dripping with mockery.“But even thorns have their uses.”“I won’t tell you anything,” Terminator X spat, his voice unwavering.The Seer chuckled softly. “I’m not asking for your permission, Terminator.Your defiance amuses me, but it won’t last.” She gestured, and the restraints tightened, eliciting a sharp grunt from him.“Now, tell me about the shard.”Terminator X met her gaze, his voice cold.“Go to hell.”The Seer’s smirk faltered.“You’re stubborn, I’ll give you that. But even the strongest will break when the stakes are high enough.”She leaned forward

The alarms blared louder as Louis worked feverishly to disable the restraints binding Terminator X.His fingers moved with desperate precision, beads of sweat dripping down his face.“Almost there,” Louis muttered under his breath.Terminator X glanced at the approaching guards.“You better hurry, kid. We’re out of time.”The door to the high-security wing burst open, and a squad of soldiers poured in, their movements unnaturally swift and coordinated.Their eyes glowed with a faint, eerie light, and a faint aura of energy surrounded them.“What the hell are those?” Louis asked, his voice tinged with fear.“Genetically enhanced soldiers,” Terminator X growled.“The Seer’s latest playthings.”Juliet’s voice crackled in Louis’s ear.“Louis, I’m almost to your location. Hold on!”The restraints finally clicked open, and Terminator X stood, his muscles flexing despite the toll of his captivity.“Get ready,” he said, his voice grim.“They won’t go down easily.”The first soldier lunged, a

The hideout was quiet except for the soft rustle of maps being unfolded.Louis traced his fingers over the aged parchment, his brow furrowed in concentration.The maps and artifacts recovered from the Kindsor estate were a maze of cryptic symbols and fragmented text.“This marking,” Louis said, pointing to an intricate rune near the center of the map.“It matches the glyphs we saw in the ruins outside Velron. It has to be connected to The Nexus.”Juliet leaned over his shoulder, studying the map.“But look at these coordinates. They lead to the base of the Umbra Peaks. That region is nothing but treacherous cliffs and ancient wards.”“Exactly why it makes sense,” Terminator X chimed in, his arms crossed.“The Eternals wouldn’t make their sanctuary easy to find. It’s meant to keep out anyone unworthy.”Louis nodded, though his expression was grim. “Then we’ll need to be ready for anything.”The group’s journey through the desolate wastelands brought them to a crumbling outpost, its st

The entrance to The Nexus was a towering stone gate carved into the mountainside, its surface etched with symbols that pulsed faintly in the dim light.The air around it seemed charged with an otherworldly energy, and Louis could feel the pull of the Heart growing stronger.“We’re here,” Juliet whispered, her voice tinged with awe.Terminator X stepped forward, examining the intricate carvings.“This place isn’t just ancient—it’s alive. The Eternals built it to protect their secrets.”Louis placed his hand on the gate, and the symbols lit up in response.The massive stone doors rumbled as they slid open, revealing a staircase spiraling downward into darkness.“Let’s move,” he said, his tone resolute.“Whatever’s down there, we need to find it before The Seer does.”The staircase opened into a vast underground sanctuary, its cavernous halls illuminated by floating orbs of light.Massive pillars stretched toward the ceiling, their surfaces covered in glowing inscriptions that shifted an

The chamber fell silent as The Seer’s soldiers halted their advance, forming a protective circle around her.She stepped forward with an air of supreme confidence, her piercing gaze fixed on Louis.Her voice, cold and commanding, echoed through the vast sanctuary."Enough of this pointless struggle," she said."You’re outnumbered, outmatched, and out of time. Let’s end this charade, shall we?"Louis’s chest heaved as he struggled to steady his breathing.The glow of his hands flickered weakly, a sign of his waning strength.He stepped forward, placing himself between The Seer and the obelisk.“You don’t get to decide when this ends,” Louis spat, his voice trembling with defiance.The Seer’s smirk widened.“Oh, but I do. You see, Louis, I’ve already won. You just don’t know it yet.”The Seer’s tone softened as she began circling him, her words laced with a dangerous allure.“You and I are not so different,” she said.“I, too, once fought to protect the balance. I was like your mother,

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently as The Nexus continued its catastrophic collapse.Chunks of the ceiling rained down, shattering into debris that blocked their path.The air was thick with dust, making it hard to see or breathe.“Move! Don’t stop!” Terminator X bellowed, shoving a falling slab of stone aside as he cleared a path for Juliet and Louis.Juliet grabbed Louis’s arm, trying to keep him steady.His face was pale, his breathing labored, and the faint glow of his hands had all but disappeared.“I’m fine,” Louis muttered, though the strain in his voice betrayed him.“Just keep going.”They sprinted toward the exit, the roar of collapsing stone growing louder behind them.A massive boulder crashed down, blocking their path.“Not this again!” Terminator X growled, slamming his shoulder into the rock. It shifted slightly but didn’t budge.Louis stepped forward, his hands trembling as he summoned the last dregs of his energy.“I’ll move it. Just… get ready to run.”

The skyline of Apple City was a stark contrast to the chaos they had left behind at The Nexus.The bustling streets hummed with life, oblivious to the battles fought in the shadows to protect them.Louis, Juliet, and Terminator X sat in a quiet corner of a rooftop overlooking the city, the weight of their journey evident in their tired expressions.The air was crisp, yet the silence between them carried an unspoken heaviness.It was Juliet who finally broke it.“So, it’s really over,” she said, her voice soft, though it carried a note of doubt.“Is it?” Terminator X replied, leaning back against the wall.“The Seer’s gone, but the damage she caused… It’s not something you just undo.”Louis, sitting with the shard in his hands, turned it over slowly, its faint glow a reminder of the power it held.“The network she built will fall apart without her,” he said quietly.“But this—” he held up the shard, “—this is what started it all.”Juliet shifted closer, her gaze steady. “What are you g

The dome was gone.The trial finished.But Mark Jennings hadn’t moved.He knelt in silence, face blank, eyes eerily calm. It was the stillness that unnerved even the bravest cultivators watching.Louis didn’t buy it.“Something’s wrong,” Mira murmured.Louis nodded, gaze sharpening. “He’s not done.”Mark lifted his head—too smoothly, too... robotic.Then he smiled. Not the smug kind.The sinister kind.“Do you really think you’ve won?” Mark whispered, voice laced with something inhuman. “That this… trial… means anything?”The world watched as his skin flickered, his aura pulsed unnaturally.Louis’s eyes narrowed.“Move back,” he ordered.Too late.Mark’s spirit split, a blinding pulse shooting toward Louis like a spear of corruption.Soul-Swap Technique.A forbidden art. An escape plan carved from the bones of dead gods.Mark’s essence lunged straight into Louis’s core.He laughed mid-transition. “You spent so long trying to destroy me, you forgot I could become you!”Louis didn’t mov

The vote was unanimous.Seventy-seven nations. Fourteen sect unions. Three independent AI councils.Mark Jennings would stand trial.The accusations were endless—soul harvesting, illegal enhancer distribution, war crimes, ritual sacrifice.But Mark?He stood in the Jennings Tower throne room, arms spread like a god blessing fools.“I do not answer to tribunals,” he declared, voice echoing across the broadcast system he’d hijacked. “I have evolved beyond humanity’s petty need for judgment. I am the next phase.”Kael stood nearby, exhausted. “Sir, the world’s demanding transparency. They want to see justice.”Mark sneered. “Justice? That’s a coin toss. I don’t need justice—I need control.”He flicked his hand.Behind the scenes, digital threads slithered through the global tribunal system—hacking verdicts, rewording charges, replacing truth with confusion. Screens glitched, documents shifted. Every guilty verdict now showed: “INCONCLUSIVE – INTERFERENCE SUSPECTED.”Mark smirked. “Blame
CHAPTER 387
Mark Jennings sat in the war chamber, eyes bloodshot, voice low and venomous.“Put a billion on him.”Kael froze. “A billion? That’ll trigger half the rogue world—mercs, bounty sects, soul pirates—”“Exactly,” Mark snapped. “Let them swarm him. Day and night. Sleep will be a myth. Peace a memory.”He grinned, the kind of grin that belonged more in padded rooms than palaces.“If I can’t kill Louis with power… I’ll drown him in desperation.”Day 1A fire arrow nearly pierced Louis’s shoulder during a peaceful harvest prayer.He caught it mid-air, raised a brow, and sighed. “First one? A little early, don’t you think?”The archer got buried head-first in a compost pile. Alive. Slightly traumatized.Day 3A pack of night assassins launched a synchronized strike.One ended up folded into a lotus pose—while unconscious. Another was used to hammer the third into a wall.Day 7“Eighty-four,” Mira counted, dragging another limp mercenary across the courtyard. “You’d think they’d give up.”Loui

The cracks in Mark Jennings' empire weren’t subtle anymore.They were earthquakes.One by one, governments that once propped him up with backdoor deals and glowing endorsements began quietly pulling out.The Empire of Vaundra? Silent.The Eastern United Council? Declared neutrality.Even the Trade Republic of Silas—Mark’s loudest cheerleaders—froze all funding.In the space of 72 hours, his global powerbase went from iron grip to butter melting in a sunstorm.Inside Jennings Tower, the war room was chaos. Phones rang. Alerts screamed. No one had answers—just excuses and sweat.“Sir,” Kael muttered, his voice hollow, “The Republic just blocked access to your border labs. They’re calling it... 'preventive quarantine.'”Mark slammed his fist on the table. “They can’t abandon me. I built this world!”Kael swallowed. “They’re not calling it your world anymore.”But that wasn’t the worst of it.The worst came that night—leaked footage.Posted by a shadow account and verified by five interna
CHAPTER 385
The night sky glowed red across three continents—and not from the setting sun.Mark Jennings watched, jaw tight, as live satellite feeds showed flames devouring his secret research compounds. Genetic chambers, soul-seal factories, forbidden tech labs—all gone in hours.Security footage was a blur of fire and screaming.One guard managed to shout, “There was no warning—just wings and fire!”Eleanor.Mark crushed his glass in one hand.“She’s insane,” he hissed. “A damn phoenix with a vendetta.”He stormed into his emergency broadcast chamber, cameras flickering on as he barked orders.“Spin this. I don’t care how. Make her the villain. Make her look like a terrorist.”Technicians scrambled. Within minutes, a global emergency broadcast beamed across every major city:Mark stood tall in a charcoal suit, forced grief pasted over his face like a bad mask.“This is not justice. This is terrorism,” he began solemnly, fake sincerity dripping off each word. “Eleanor, once a respected cultivato

Mark Jennings stood before a black, soundproofed war room, surrounded by shadowed figures.“These aren’t your average bounty hunters,” he said, teeth flashing. “I’ve hired phantoms. Spiritual hitmen. Soul-slicers. Even a void-binder from the Unseen Clan.”The room felt colder just hearing those names.Kael leaned in nervously. “You’re sure this won’t backfire like… everything else?”Mark’s eyes gleamed. “This time, there’s no grand entrance. No speeches. No dragon pulses or temple shields. This time, Louis disappears. Quietly.”Two nights later — Location classifiedIn a forest drenched in fog and soaked with tension, Louis moved silently beneath the moonlight. He sensed it before it happened—the faint ripple in spiritual space. Something not of this world was hunting him.Ten elite assassins encircled him: mortals with enchanted weapons, spirits who fed on intent, shapeshifters disguised as falling leaves.“This is it,” whispered one, drawing a blade humming with soul poison.The net

“They were mine!”Kael whispered, pale. “They were never yours, sir. You just rented them… until someone better showed up.”Mark screamed.Louis. Again. Always him.But deep down, Mark understood something far worse.This wasn’t the end.This was the start of something he could no longer control.And Louis?He wasn’t fighting for power.He was fighting for everyone Mark had forgotten.Beneath the ruined city of Caldus, in a vault built from spiritsteel and arrogance, Mark Jennings stood at the heart of the Shadow Auction—his latest masterpiece of corruption.Around him sat warlords wrapped in animal skins and silk suits, crooked politicians oozing perfume and power, and black-robed syndicate leaders who whispered curses louder than prayers.Projected across the vaulted chamber were translucent prisms—each holding a spirit core, glowing faintly, extracted from captured cultivators loyal to Louis.Mark tapped his glass with a silver spoon.“Welcome, esteemed degenerates,” he smiled. “To

Mark threw a chair through the screen.“This isn’t possible! HOW?!”Kael cowered. “He used... the Dragon Vein Network. The legends were real. The Kindsor temples are spiritually tethered.”Mark’s eyes bulged. “That’s a bedtime story!”“Yeah,” Kael whimpered. “Except the bedtime story just collapsed seven military bases.”Mark slammed his fist into the wall.“You mean to tell me… we got outsmarted by decorative floor tiles?!”Kael didn’t dare respond.In the Hidden GroveMira watched the news, stunned.Louis finally spoke, voice soft but firm. “They feared the dragon. But they forgot it doesn’t roar until you step on its spine.”She shivered. “What happens now?”Louis looked to the horizon, eyes glinting with purpose.“Now? We rebuild. And when Mark tries again…” He smiled faintly. “We don’t collapse ground.”Mira raised an eyebrow. “Then what?”Louis’s smile deepened.“We collapse empires.”War-torn cities smoldered under the illusion of peace.Mark Jennings stood atop a broken milita
CHAPTER 381
Mark Jennings was done playing games.Humiliation burned like acid in his chest, each word from Louis’s last appearance looping through his mind like a curse. His reflection in the mirror sneered at him, as if even his own image mocked his failure.“This ends now,” he growled, voice raw with fury. “Burn it all. I want the entire Kindsor network reduced to rubble.”Behind him, a dozen emissaries from rogue states nodded grimly. Their job was simple: conquest by chaos.By dusk, private armies surged across borders—armored vehicles disguised as "peacekeeping convoys" rolled through sacred grounds, while rogue cultivators unleashed hell on ancient temples. Smoke clouded the skies. Cries of civilians pierced the night like broken flutes.Atop a blood-stained mountain base, a general cackled. “Kindsor sanctuaries? More like kindling.”Every news station echoed the same narrative.“Former Louis loyalists caught hoarding soul weapons.”“Public enemies: Kindsor cults tied to insurgency.”“Peac
