Juliet Parker stood in the hallway outside Louis’s penthouse, debating whether she should knock.

She hadn’t seen him for a week, and the silence between them felt unnatural.

They were just friends—but she hated the growing distance from him.

She don't know him much, but she liked him.

After everything Louis had done for her—helping her company secure a critical deal and being there for her during tough times—she couldn’t leave the island without at least saying goodbye.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked.

The door opened after a few moments, and Louis appeared, his expression a mix of surprise and exhaustion.

“Juliet,” he said, stepping aside to let her in. “This is unexpected.”

“I thought I’d drop by,” she replied, her voice casual.

“I’m leaving the island tomorrow and realized I haven’t seen you all week.”

Louis nodded, gesturing toward the living room.

“Sorry about that. Things have been... complicated.”

Her eyes wandered to the cluttered desk in the corner of th

    Meanwhile, in a quiet office on the outskirts of Apple City, Terminator X sat behind his desk, his sharp gaze fixed on Pearl Cavendish.She was as poised and enigmatic as ever, her presence commanding the room despite its unassuming decor.“How did you even get here?” Terminator asked, his tone equal parts curious and annoyed.Pearl smiled faintly, her red lips curving in amusement.“You know me, Terminator. Getting what I want has never been difficult.”“That’s not an answer,” he replied, leaning back in his chair.“It’s the only answer you’re getting.” She crossed her legs elegantly, the sharp heels of her shoes tapping against the floor.“Now, let’s cut to the chase. I want to know why Louis was exiled from the Kindsor family.”Terminator’s expression darkened. "That’s not information I’m willing to share.”"I didnt give you any option- except the truth." She clenched her teeth.“You’re persistent, I’ll give you that,” Terminator said finally, breaking the silence.“I don’t have t

    Terminator X’s expression darkened.“A month after his mother’s death, Louis was framed for an unspeakable act.He was accused of spying on his stepmother’s cousin, watching her while she bathed, and even attempting to assault her.There was no truth to it, but it didn’t matter.His father, already swayed by his second wife’s accusations, took her side without hesitation.Louis was branded guilty, and the Kindsor family turned their back on him.They exiled him from the family without a second thought.”Pearl’s eyes widened.“But Louis... he’s not capable of such things. It’s all lies.”Terminator X nodded gravely.“Exactly. It was a setup.Louis was being targeted from the moment his mother died, and his father allowed it to happen.His stepmother was behind it, always trying to bring him down in front of his father, poisoning his mind with false accusations.She’d always wanted to see him out of the picture so she could take control of the family herself.”Pearl’s hands clenched int

    Pearl leaned back in her chair, her fingers drumming against the polished desk.Marcus, her secretary, stood before her with a thick manila folder."The Blackwood Society's charity auction details," he reported, sliding the document across the desk.Pearl's eyes narrowed."Tell me everything.""It's an exclusive event," Marcus explained."The artifact you're interested in—it's definitely going to be there. Provenance confirmed, direct connection to Louis's past."She let out a soft laugh."Interesting.""Ms. Cavendish," Marcus hesitated, "are you sure about this approach?"Pearl stood up, walking to the window.The city sprawled beneath her, a complex network of streets and secrets."I'm doing this for Louis. He needs to know the truth.""Are you sure?" Marcus pressed."That's not an option," she replied sharply."Some truths are worth fighting for."Her phone buzzed. A text from her contact at the auction house."Artifact confirmed. Lot 17. Preliminary valuation attached.""Marcus,"

    "I won't let him get away with this," Vivian muttered to herself, grabbing her phone and went to the media office who could help her exact her revenge."Jake, it's Vivian. I need you to do something for me," she said as soon as the call connected."Vivian, what’s up? You’re not calling just to chat, I take it?""I’m going to expose Louis. I need you to write something about him—something that’ll show him for the manipulative fraud he really is. I’ll make sure it’s all over the media."Jake hesitated."I want to destroy him," she told Jake, the lead journalist, her voice a cold whisper.Jake adjusted his recorder. "Louis? Your ex-husband?""He humiliated my entire family," Vivian spat."Kicked us out of Necker Island just before my wedding. Made us look like complete fools.""Tell me everything," Jake prompted, his pen poised.Vivian's laugh was brittle."Louis was nothing. A nobody who used to do house chores. And now? Suddenly he's this powerful figure because of Terminator X.""Inte

    "Louis went from being someone I could order around to do household chores to thinking he's powerful. Now everyone sees him exactly as he is.""The images are killer," Jake said."Side-by-side comparisons of him in an apron versus a tailored suit. It looks like complete fraud.""That's the point," Vivian replied."I want everyone to see how he manipulated his way up. Used Terminator X's name like a stepping stone."Her phone pinged with another notification.More comments were rolling in, each more caustic than the last."'Terminator X's charity case?'" Jake read aloud."'Looks like he's just riding someone else's coattails.'""Keep tracking the reactions," Vivian instructed."I want to know every single ripple this creates."Her brother chimed in again."Your family must be feeling vindicated.""They kicked us out of Necker Island," Vivian said, her voice turning cold."Now everyone will see Louis for what he really is."Vivian sat back, taking a deep breath."This is just the beginn

    The grand ballroom buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with chatter as guests admired the glittering chandeliers and exchanged pleasantries.Near the back of the room, Louis adjusted his cufflinks, his eyes scanning the crowd.“So, she’s here,” he muttered under his breath, spotting Pearl gliding into the ballroom with her usual air of composed elegance.“Of course she’s here,” Terminator X, standing beside him, remarked dryly. “You didn’t think she’d let this auction happen without making her move, did you?”Louis sighed.“This necklace... it’s not just a piece of jewelry to her. I need to find out why.”Meanwhile, Pearl was making her way through the crowd, her every move graceful and deliberate.“Keep an eye on Vivian,” she murmured to her assistant, her voice low but firm.“She’s too quiet tonight. That only means trouble.”Her assistant nodded and slipped into the crowd.At the center of the room, Vivian sat with a glass of champagne, her sharp eyes locked on Louis.“Well, w

    Louis stood near a side entrance, lost in thought, when Pearl approached him, her steps soft but purposeful.“Louis,” she called, holding out the velvet case containing the necklace.He turned to her, his expression unreadable.“Why are you giving this to me?”Pearl sighed, lowering her voice.“This isn’t just a necklace. Look closer.”Louis hesitated but opened the case.His sharp eyes caught the delicate engraving on the underside of the pendant:For the truth, seek the Cavendish heir.His brow furrowed as he traced the words with his finger.“What does this mean, Pearl? Why is your family connected to this?”Pearl crossed her arms, her usual confidence tinged with unease.“I don’t know all the details, but this isn’t the first time my family’s name has come up in strange circumstances. When I saw this listed for the auction, I had to act.”Louis studied her carefully.“And you decided to spend five million dollars to keep it out of Vivian’s hands?”Pearl shrugged.“Five million isn

    Juliet trailed behind Louis as he left the grand ballroom, her heels clicking softly against the pavement.She tightened her coat, her eyes locked on Louis’s retreating figure.“What are you hiding, Louis?” she whispered to herself, quickening her pace to keep him in sight.The streets grew darker and narrower as Louis turned into an unfamiliar part of town.Juliet hesitated at first but pressed on, determined to uncover the truth about his connection to Pearl.“This isn’t the place for someone like you,” a gruff voice called out, making her stop abruptly.“Well, well, look what we have here,” sneered a man with a scar across his cheek.His grin was menacing as his companions closed in around her.“Let me go!” Juliet shouted, struggling against their grip.Another man laughed.“Feisty, aren’t you? But you’re out of your depth, sweetheart.”Juliet’s heart raced.“What do you want from me?”The scar-faced man leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol.“It’s simple. Stay away from Lou

    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 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.

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.
