That night, Xander slept well without any dreams or interruptions. He was lying in his cozy bed, feeling completely relaxed and comfortable, like a happy baby.

He didn't make any noise and he didn't look restless. He was fast asleep, peaceful and relaxed.

As time went by and night turned into morning, a little bit of sunlight started to come into the room. They were on the walls and floor, making the dark room look warm and bright.

It seemed like the light was excited for Xander to wake up, like it knew something big was about to happen.

All of a sudden, there was a gentle tap on the door. A soft but determined voice came after that.

" Mr Xander, sir" The voice was from Alfred, one of the servants in the big house Xander was staying in.

Xander got up slowly when he heard the noise. He had been sleeping deeply. He slowly sat up, feeling his muscles hurt as he moved.

He rubbed his eyes and walked to the door. Then he opened it.

Alfred was outside wearing his usual servant clothes. He gr

Xander did not see Ariel on his way out. However, he said his goodbyes to Mrs Rasher and received a cold and stern look instead. Xander was used to this so he really did not mind.

    Xander's stomach churned with nerves as he prepared to confide in Lina. He knew it was dangerous, but he couldn't keep it secret anymore. He inhaled deeply before addressing her with meaningful words."Okay, I will tell you everything," Xander said, sounding a bit nervous. He pointed to an empty box in the dark warehouse, the perfect spot for them to talk. He quickly sat on the box and tapped the other side."Please sit with me, Your Majesty," he said, asking Lina to join him. She smiled at him and walked over gracefully, her sweater and jeans were a little dusty from being in the warehouse.When Lina sat next to him, Xander was amazed at how much she had changed at that moment.

    The warm morning air carried the scent of jasmine and wisteria, a sweet, heady fragrance that danced around Xander as he stood on the balcony with Lina.

The vibrant lights of the city throbbed like a giant, pulsing heart, a constant reminder of the life he had built, the life he was about to build with Lina.The ring, a band of polished silver etched with intricate symbols, sat comfortably on his finger. It was the ring that had shielded him from harm, the ring that had made him feel untouchable, a beacon of power that he could draw on. The ring was a constant reminder of his escape, his journey from a humble, forgotten corner of the city to the heart of its power, a rise that was as unlikely as it was exhilarating.But as he watched the twinkling lights and felt Lina's closeness, he felt a different kind of power, a warmth that spread through him like a gentle flame.

    Xander sat awkwardly on the plush armchair, its soft cushions offering little comfort. Across from him, Mr. James, a man whose face usually held a gloomy expression, sat with his shoulders slumped and a worried frown etched on his brow.'Where is Lina?' Mr. James finally asked, his voice a low rumble.'She's resting,' Xander replied, his voice tight with worry. 'The poor girl had suffered too much.'He couldn't bring himself to say more, not after the past few weeks. The events had been a whirlwind of betrayal, pain, and a chilling realization of the true depths of the Dragon Group's influence.Mr. James, as if sensing Xander's feelings, leaned back in his chair and sighed. 'It's all my fault,' he whispered, his eyes flickering to the floor. 'If I hadn't joined the Dragon Group, none of this would have happened.' He looked at Xander, his face breaking into a heart-wrenching expression of regret. 'I was so naive. I thought they were just a business group, a powerful engine of progress.

    The rage that had been simmering inside Xander since the first encounter with Scarface, the man with a face etched with cruel scars, bubbled over. The scene in the cellar replayed in his mind – the fear in Lina’s eyes, the taunts of Scarface, the taste of his own blood, the desperate fight against the Dragon Group. But then, the words of the old man, his mentor, echoed in his mind. The old man had said, 'Sometimes, forgiveness is the hardest choice, yet the strongest. It lets the poison go, not just for them, but for you too.'Xander turned to Lina, who was still trembling, her eyes wide with fear and disbelief. He knelt before her, his gaze lingering on the bruises that dotted her arms and the scratch on her cheek, his heart a knot of anger and concern. He wanted to tear Scarface limb from limb, to punish him for the pain he had inflicted on her, on him. Yet, the old man’s words resonated, a soothing balm on his burning rage.“I’ll let him live,” Xander said, his voice hoarse with th

    The rage that had been simmering within Xander for years finally boiled over. A raw, primal hunger for vengeance consumed him, leaving no room for reason or caution. He watched as Tobias, his face contorted with smug disdain, casually tossed Lina aside as if she were a discarded rag doll. The movement was a spark igniting the inferno within him, fueling a fury that had no bounds.“Tobias,” Xander snarled, the word heavy with unspoken threats. His body, taut with pent-up energy, launched itself forward like a guided missile, aimed directly at Tobias. The air crackled with anticipation, the silence punctuated only by the thudding of his own heartbeat. He saw Tobias, his eyes widening in alarm as the inevitable collision drew near, raise his hands in a futile attempt to ward off the assault. The impact was brutal, a sickening crunch as their bodies collided with the force of a battering ram. They went down hard, the ground groaning beneath their combined weight.It was a dance of pure fe

Everyone present, with the exception of Xander, had braced for a gruesome spectacle. They envisioned a scene of charred flesh and bone, the young man reduced to nothing more than a smouldering husk. Instead, they were met with a stillness that felt almost unnatural, a quiet defiance that spoke volumes.Xander stood amidst the wreckage, his clothes unmarred, his face serene. A soft smile played on his lips, a smile that held a hint of victory, of an inner knowledge that was unsettling in its calmness.

Even Scarface, his face still contorted with a mixture of disbelief and rage, faltered, his eyes fixed on the

    The oppressive weight of the iron door, thick as a tomb slab, pressed against Tobias's heart, a physical manifestation of the fear that had begun to gnaw at him.

Xander, his fists clenched, couldn't stand there any longer, a caged beast watching his prey chant insults.

He had tracked them, followed the slithering trail of clues, leading him to this ramshackle pottery shop, a facade cloaking a dark secret.With a roar, Xander lunged, a blur of fury.
