2024-10-25 16:02:48Louis Kindsor stood silently in the living room of the luxurious villa he shared with his wife, Vivian Howard.
His face was a mask of calm, but his eyes betrayed a storm of emotions.
In his hand, he held a tablet displaying surveillance footage that would change everything.
As Vivian entered the room, her smile faltered at the sight of Louis's serious expression.
"What's wrong, dear?" she asked, her voice tinged with false sweetness.
Without a word, Louis turned the tablet towards her.
The footage showed Vivian entering a hotel with another man, their body language leaving little doubt about their intentions.
Vivian's eyes widened, then narrowed. Instead of shame or remorse, her face twisted with anger.
"You had someone follow me?" she hissed.
Louis shook his head slowly, in disappointment.
"That's all you have to say? No explanation, no apology?"
Vivian laughed dismissively, as if she didn’t care the least that Louis had caught her in an affair.
"Why should I apologize? This is perfect timing, actually."
She strode to a nearby drawer and pulled out a document, slapping it down on the coffee table.
"I want a divorce."
The words hit Louis like a physical blow.
He stared at the divorce agreement, unable to comprehend how things had come to this.
"Why?" he asked softly.
He had hoped Vivian would explain and say it was all fake.
Vivian rolled her eyes.
"Oh, please. You brought it upon yourself! Since our marriage has already shown signs of cracks, isn’t divorce only natural?"
“So it’s my fault?!”
Louis widened his eyes in disbelief, unable to accept that Vivian showed no remorse and instead blamed him.
"What happened to the girl who helped me all those years ago?" he whispered.
Louis's mind raced back to that day over a decade ago.
He had been on the streets of Apple City, penniless and alone.
A sweet little girl had shared her food with him, dropping a small toy as she left.
That toy had become his most cherished possession, a reminder of kindness in his darkest hour.
How could someone change so dramatically over a mere decade?
“What girl? Oh, forget it! Just sign it, will you?”
Vivian’s cold and impatient voice interrupted his thought.
"Are you sure a divorce is what you want?"
Coming back to his senses, Louis said with a look of utter disappointment.
"I've given you everything. I've supported you, helped you build your career, taken care of your life..."
"You? Supported me?” Vivian scoffed.
“Please. I'm the most successful female CEO in Apple City because of my own hard work. You've just been living off me, Louis. Face it, you're nothing compared to what I've become."
Each word was a dagger to Louis's heart.
“You really think your achievements are solely due to your own efforts and abilities?”
Louis asked, his eyes filled with utter pain and despair.
If it weren’t for him providing Vivian with seed money and arranging for support for her business, her family would never have risen from below-average status, and she certainly wouldn’t have achieved her present success in just a few short years.
“Then what else?”
Vivan sneered, her head held up high, like a queen.
“If you think so, then I have nothing to say.”
Looking at his arrogant and conceited wife, Louis totally lost his appetite to protest.
"Oh, please stop acting like I owe you. You’ve been eating and drinking for free at my place for years—it’s time for that to end. If you still have any dignity left, sign the papers and get out, Louis," Vivian demanded. "It's over."
Without another word, Louis picked up a pen and quickly signed his name.
As he handed the papers back to Vivian, he looked directly into Vivian's eyes and said coldly.
"As you wish, it’s over. I hope you don't come to regret this decision, Vivian."
Vivian smirked.
"The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner."
Louis stood, his tall frame seeming to fill the room.
For a moment, Vivian caught a glimpse of something in his eyes – a hint of the power and authority he usually kept hidden.
But it was gone in an instant, replaced by a look of profound disappointment.
"Remember your words, then."
With that said, Louis turned and walked out of the villa without looking back.
His demeanor cold and completely different from before.
“You ungrateful bastard, watch your attitude!”
Vivian fumed, stamping her feet.
But Louis didn’t look back once.
It was over.
There was nothing worth holding onto anymore.
As he stepped outside, Louis was greeted by an unexpected sight.
A fleet of luxury cars lined the driveway, their sleek bodies gleaming in the afternoon sun.
Not a single of them was worth less than millions of dollars.
A man in an impeccable suit stepped forward, bowing deeply.
"Mr. Kindsor," the man said respectfully.
"We've been waiting for you."
Louis nodded, his demeanor shifting subtly.
Gone was the defeated husband; in his place stood a man accustomed to command.
As he approached the lead car, his phone rang.
As Louis slid into the back seat of the most luxurious car, he answered the call.
The voice on the other end would set in motion events that would shake Vivian's world to its core.

"Welcome back, sir," the crisp voice of Terminator X came through the phone. "It's time for you to return to your rightful place. You’ve been held back for too long."Louis leaned back in the plush leather seat, a fleeting look of desolation crossed his face. "You’re right. I’ve wasted too much time.”He then quickly adjusted his demeanor and ordered. “Forget it. Let’s talk about the current situation.""As you command, sir," Terminator X replied, “the 300 billion assets you previously invested globally have now multiplied several times, reaching 2 trillion. I’ve been overseeing them for you.” “Also, your 300 domestic companies are showing steady performance improvements.”“Now that you’re back, I can finally hand everything over to you, sound and safe.”Louis chuckled.He could feel Terminator X’s eagerness to turn in the burden, as if the weight of these assets was suffocating him. “No rush, my man, can’t you spare me a few days for relaxing? I just divorced, you know?”“I apo

And that girl was Vivian Howard.Back then, she had just graduated and was struggling to make ends meet.And that was when he decided to let go of everything and silently stand by her side.He never told Vivian about the events from over a decade ago, but he never forgot it either.He simply chose to support Vivian quietly.When she wanted to start a company, he provided the initial funding; when she wanted to expand it, he offered resources and connections from behind.However, alas, it turned out that the story didn’t end well for him.Louis gazed out the window at the city passing by. Apple City, where his journey had begun, where he had fallen in love with a girl who no longer existed. This time, when he left the villa, he didn’t take the doll with him because it was no longer necessary.It was the end of their relationship, after all.Now, it would be the stage for his return to power.Meanwhile, inside the villa, Vivian's phone rang. It was her mother, Victoria Howard."Is it

Vivian Howard paced the bedroom, the small doll clutched in her hand. Her mind raced with possibilities, a flicker of doubt crossing her face."Could Juliet and Louis be having affair behind my back?" She wondered aloud, her voice barely a whisper.But as quickly as the thought arose, she dismissed it with a shake of her head."No, that's impossible."She remembered she had never even introduced them. As for Juliet, she was the eldest daughter of the Beaumon Family—she had good looks, perfect figure, and a prestigious background.Although the Beaumon Clan wasn’t one of the four major Families, they were still an established name in Apple City.So how could Juliet possibly be interested in a lowlife like Louis?It was clear that Louis must have obtained the doll through improper means, just like some sleazy men who liked stealing women’s underwear.“Yuk! Truly disgusting!”Vivian tossed the doll back into the box, her disgust for Louis growing. She'd ask Juliet about it later, just

What the fuck?!Vivian couldn't believe what she heard. She couldn’t help but burst out laughing."Your company? Do you know that Apex Z Group is valued at 50 billion, and ranks 1st in Apple City? I bet a loser like you have no idea!” Vivian sneered loudly.“Ben, did you hear that? Louis thinks he owns Apex Z Group! That's funny!"Ben laughed too. "Wow, Louis. You're crazier than I thought. What's next? Are you going to say you're the king of Apple City?"Vivian looked disgusted. "I can't believe I was married to someone so stupid and boastful. You can't even tell what's real and what's not.""Maybe we should simply call security," Ben suggested playfully. "They'd love to meet the 'owner' of Apex Z Group. Want to give them a good laugh, Vivian?"Louis didn't say anything. He didn't look upset or angry. Their words didn't bother him at all.Louis moved to walk past Vivian and Ben, his face a mask of indifference. His didn’t want to waste another second on these two arrogant foo

Louis stood still, shocked. He just realized something big. The small doll he thought was Vivian's wasn't hers at all. This meant the kind girl who helped him years ago wasn't Vivian! All this time, he had been wrong!Louis felt many things at once - surprise, sadness, but also a bit relieved. He had spent years helping Vivian, thinking he was paying back her kindness. Now he knew it was all a mistake."What's wrong, Louis? Finally seeing how pathetic you are?" Seeing how quiet Louis was, Vivian said meanly.She thought he was finally embarrassed because she had caught him lying.This made her even angrier and more disgusted.Louis barely heard her. He was too busy thinking about what this all meant for his life.However, Vivian kept talking, and getting louder. "Why are you silent now? Weren’t you good at making up stories about knowing important people? Why not continue the play and give us a good show?"Vivian said more aggressively, her eyes filled with increased disdain.

Seeing how calm and collected Louis was, as if he was confident of victory, Vivian felt a surge of anger.She couldn’t wait to see how Louis would conjure up one million dollars for her right away.If he couldn’t, she swore she would make sure to drown him in her scorn!Louis calmly took out his phone and dialed a number. "Terminator X," he said, "I need you to send one million to the entrance of Apex Z Group now."Vivian's eyes got big. Seriously?!That Terminator X?! How could Louis be talking to him?“As you command, Sir. I’ill have John Wales, the General Manager of Apex Z Group, get the money ready.”Terminator X said on the phone.Louis ended the call and looked at Vivian. "Wait a few minutes," he said, not caring much.“Louis, how could your shame know no boundary?”Vivian's eyes widened in disbelief and mockery. "Do you even know who Terminator X is? Well, let me tell you, in case you have no idea.”“Terminator X is the richest man in the world! Do you know what that mean

“Mr Wales?”Louis confirmed. “Yes, Sir. Just call me John.”It was John Wales, the General Manager of Apex Z Group. Louis nodded at him.John Wales wiped the sweat from his face with a cloth. "Sir, I apologize once again. If I had known you arrived early, I would have come over sooner. I wouldn’t have kept you waiting at the entrance for so long. Please forgive me!"John Wales took a deep breath and said respectfully, with a hint of desperation.The person in front of him, Louis Kindsor, was the boss of his superior, Terminator X.Simply put, both his life and career depended on this man.If he messed up and Louis was unhappy, his job would surely be at risk.And that would be a true disaster.“No need to panic. It’s not your fault, John. I was the one who decided to come earlier midway.”Louis reassured.John had expected Louis, as a superior, to be very strict.But to his surprise, Louis was quite easy to talk to and very understanding.This really relieved him.“Thanks, Sir, for

“Would you like a tour of the Apex Z Group facilities while you’re here?”Louis shook his head. “Not today. I have other matters to attend to.”What was more urgent now was to determine who the real owner of the doll was.If Vivian’s doll was in the attic, that meant the person who saved him years ago wasn’t Vivian at all, but someone else.Who was it, then?He needed to find that girl as soon as possible.“At your command, Sir. I’m always here to await your arrival.”John said with a bow.He then indicated that he would see Louis off, but Louis politely declined.As Louis turned to leave, the entrance door swung open and a young woman rushed in.She wore a blue and white business outfit, her figure stunning and her beauty exceptional.Her long hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, looking vibrant and bouncy.She walked briskly, almost bumping into Louis. “Oh! I’m so sorry!” she gasped, looking up at Louis with wide eyes.“It’s f—fine,” Louis said curtly and hesitantly, stepping as

The Sovereign ignored him. His palms began to glow with black energy as he chanted in a low, guttural tone. His aura surged—frenzied and unstable.“I am the end, Louis. The final act of creation. I will bring the universe to its knees.” He paused, his voice laced with venom. “Behold my ultimate technique—the Devastation Field.”Louis watched as the Sovereign's energy began to concentrate, the air around him thickening, growing heavy with the scent of imminent destruction.The Sovereign’s aura expanded rapidly, like an invisible hand that reached for the heavens. “This is my final gift to the world—a hundred miles of devastation, erasing everything within its reach.”The ground beneath them trembled, the air crackling with an intensity Louis had never felt before. The Sovereign was sacrificing his own life force, using every last ounce of energy to power this weapon.Louis felt the gravity of the moment—the Devastation Field would be a death sentence for everyone in its range. Even his

The Sovereign’s face drained of color. He stumbled backward, his rage bubbling over into desperate denial.“No! I… I—” he choked, his voice cracking. “I planned this! They were here! You can’t—”Louis smiled cruelly, his voice cool. “I know. I watched your men drag them all out through the back. You didn’t notice your own team had already turned, did you?”The Sovereign’s eyes darted in panic. “This is impossible!”“Is it? Your men were paid well, Sovereign. How could I let them keep risking their lives for you when they could be working for someone who, you know, doesn’t keep them locked in a vault with no dinner breaks?”Louis casually strolled past The Sovereign and walked toward the security footage screen that showed everything. He hit a button, and the footage played. The Sovereign’s own henchmen were seen escorting the so-called hostages out, making sure they were safe.“I love when a plan comes together,” Louis said with a wicked grin, as The Sovereign stood frozen in humiliat

Desperation gnawed at The Sovereign like a starving rat trapped in a corner. His grand schemes had crumbled—his financial empire was exposed, his immortality shattered, and his so-called power was slipping through his fingers like sand.But there was one thing he had left: fear.In a move that could only be described as melodramatic villain 101, The Sovereign took control of a towering skyscraper in the heart of the financial district.Hundreds of employees were held hostage, their lives hanging by a thread. The Sovereign, now a shadow of his former self, had planted explosives throughout the building.Through a live broadcast, he issued his demand:“Louis Kindsor. You will face me alone or I will bring this building down. You have one hour.”The world watched in stunned silence as government agencies surrounded the building, helpless to act. No one had a clue how to defuse the explosives, and every effort to breach the building ended in failure.An hour passed.Louis was in his offic

The tethers disintegrated, not with destruction, but with release.The victims gasped back to life, eyes blinking, souls restored. Thousands of them, all awakening at once.Eleanor gasped. “It’s working. Louis… you’re severing his hold.”Louis didn’t answer.He was already speaking through the energy lines, letting The Sovereign hear him directly.Hey, Sovereign. You feeling that? That tingly sensation? That’s what it feels like to lose.”“Every scream you silenced, every life you fed off—they’re waking up now. And guess what? They’re not grateful. They’re pissed.”He grinned.“You built your empire on stolen life force. I’m just returning what’s theirs.”Back in his abyssal prison, The Sovereign shrieked as his strength drained, his spiritual foundation crumbling like soggy toast.“YOU DARE—!”“Dare?” Louis smirked. “Buddy, I already did. And I did it with style.”As the last of the tethers vanished, silence swept the chamber. The once-dormant victims opened their eyes, no longer hollo

He then unveiled the Kindsor Foundation logo—a phoenix and dragon intertwined, representing rebirth and discipline.“We are launching a global education initiative. Ethical cultivation. Taught to certified professionals. Not for domination—for healing.”“This isn’t a secret anymore. It’s a future. And the only thing you need to believe in… is potential.”The room exploded with applause.Even the harshest anchors choked on their skepticism.Governments that were seconds from blacklisting Louis suddenly applauded him. Medical boards requested access to his research. UN ambassadors requested private consultations.Garvos blinked at the incoming message feed. “...Sir. China, Germany, and Canada just offered tax breaks if we expand clinics there.”Eliza looked smug. “A senator just apologized and called me ‘Madame Healer.’”Alexander sighed. “Still getting alien jokes, though. One guy thinks my head glows.”Louis just smiled.“Let them talk. As long as they’re listening.”Even with the world

The Sovereign might have been locked in the Kindsor Vault like a moth in a flame-proof jar, but his pettiness? Oh, that was immortal.Stripped of power, buried under his own arrogance, and with a bruised ego that would need a millennium of therapy, he did what any unhinged, centuries-old maniac would do:He pressed “upload.”Across every major platform—news, social media, holo-channels, even kids' cereal box QR codes—a terrifying headline exploded:“CULTIVATION EXPOSED: GLOBAL THREAT OR DARK MAGIC?”Clips of Louis in combat were stitched together with dramatic music, voiceovers painting him as a “sorcerer manipulating world leaders,” while Eliza was dubbed “The Crimson Witch,” and Alexander? Apparently “The Mind-Flayer Monk.”The Sovereign's voice—somehow still smug through cracked teeth—echoed through the broadcast:“These monsters bend reality to their will. Is that power… science? Or sorcery?”Governments panicked.Special forces raided cultivation schools.Hospitals reported myster

A cough echoed in the distance.Followed by the sound of rocks shifting.And then, with all the drama of a villain who refuses to stay dead, The Sovereign limped into the vault, robes tattered, hair wild, pride somehow still intact.“Well, well, well,” he rasped, blood staining his lips. “You found it. The great Kindsor prize. Tell me—does it sing to you the way it sang to me for centuries?”Louis turned slowly, unimpressed. “You look like a moldy curtain that lost a fight with gravity.”The Sovereign laughed. “Still joking. Even now.”He stepped closer. “You’ve seen what it offers. Don’t act like you’re above it. With your mind, my reach, and this technique—we could rule eternally. No more death. No more endings. Just… domination, forever.”He gestured toward the glowing scroll. “Share it with me, Louis. Or I’ll burn your friends to keep myself alive.”With a snap of his fingers, several holo-screens appeared, showing Eliza, Eleanor, Alexander, and Diana—all captured in containment f

Louis raised a brow. “Didn’t realize cosplay villains came with such terrible timing.”The Sovereign held up a vial, swirling with a glowing crimson liquid.“Your blood,” he announced. “From our previous fights. Collected drop by drop. All I need to do is apply it to the vault.”He turned to the gate, smirking like a child with a stolen toy.“You see,” he continued, “the vault only requires a touch of your lineage. It doesn’t care how I got it.”Louis tilted his head. “Ah. So you really didn’t read the family warnings, huh?”The Sovereign’s smile faltered. “What?”Louis casually strolled to a nearby pillar, brushing off ancient dust to reveal etched text in Old Kindsorian.“Blood freely given shall open the gate. Blood taken through violence shall awaken the wrath of the mountain.”He looked back at The Sovereign and added with a grin:“But sure, go ahead. Let’s see what happens when you treat my ancestors like an ATM.”The Sovereign hesitated.Then, pride overriding reason, he splash

Louis cracked his neck. “Did you really think I didn’t notice you?” he asked casually. “Your energy signature was all over your puppets. Every opponent you sent? They weren’t countering me. I was studying you through them.”Louis stepped forward, slow and deliberate.“Your footwork always favors the left. You overload your palm strikes to compensate for your fractured meridian. And that little twitch in your eyebrow when you prep a Heaven Breaker kick?”He smiled. “Adorable.”The Sovereign lashed out, throwing a barrage of chaotic techniques—Black Lotus Fangs, Abyssal Chains, Sky-Splitting Fists.Louis dodged them all with graceful mockery, countering each one perfectly.One palm strike sent The Sovereign stumbling back.“You’re not fighting me,” Louis said. “You’re fighting a reflection of your own predictable failure.”The Sovereign roared in frustration, throwing a desperate energy wave that shattered half the arena wall.Louis stood untouched.Then, with one flick of his fingers,
