Xander and Lina spent the night at the new house Xander bought. The next day would be a very busy day for them as they each had activities to see. Xander on his part needed to sort the issue of Helena and to do that, he needed to visit Lady Willow's property again. Maybe for the last time. However, Xander didn't want to do this alone so he called on Eric to accompany him. Eric, who was no longer living at the family house, agreed to meet him and together, they would show up at the family house.

When the time came, Eric met Xander at their meeting point and together, they arrived at the Willow residence and walked straight up and knocked at the door. No one answered and Xander had to knock again louder than before. Moments later, the door was opened and Helena stood in the doorway.

Her sigh of relief was evident on her face when she saw Xander there. Even after her plea and everything, she had half expected Xander not to pay heed to her plight. Seeing Xander there on her porch alongsid

    The dragon gang had pulled out of the picture but were still plotting to have Xander taken out. Xander knew this too and never stopped checking over his shoulder while he went about his daily businesses. He knew that one day the day he was dreading would come and he would have to face off against the dragon group one last time.The only thing that troubled him was that the dragon group had a level of powers that he knew and he was yet to find the weapon that would destroy them. He knew what he had to do. He was going to visit the family doctor Rasher had pointed out to him. He will meet the ancient old man he met there and inquire about the weapon no one happened to know about.Xander drove to the other side of town where he was certain he would find the answers he needed and sought for. Xander was driving his own car now and had no fear of being mugged as was the case last time. He drove hard without stopping even for once and finally, he arrived at the place he sought for.Xander pa

    Xander was perplexed at what he heard. He could not believe that he was the weapon but the old man's words kept ringing in his ears as he sat there. Xander wanted to dispute the old man's words but a part of him would not do that. A part of him knew somehow that what the old man told him was right. "It's hard to believe.." Xander finally spoke up. "What you say is very difficult to believe."The old man nodded and relaxed back into his chair. "Let me ask you something Xander. For what reason do you think you've been able to withstand the dragon group's attacks and offences all this while?" He asked. "That's simple. It's because I have the ring." Xander replied but the old man shook his head."Don't be blind Xander." The old man said. "The ring alone did not ensure your survival for up to this moment, no. The ring is just an accessory. The reason why you've survived up to this instant is because of your nature and not because of the ring. You are the weapon Xander. You alone have bee

    The roar of the engine was a symphony of vengeance in Xander's ears. He gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, as the speedometer needle danced wildly past the legal limit. The news he'd received on the phone - *Lina captured* - was a venomous barb lodged deep in his heart, radiating outwards, burning with an unquenchable rage.Who else could have done this? The question was a cruel torment, the answer as clear as the scorching sun in the midday sky. The Dragon Group. They were the venomous vipers lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. And they had chosen the most devastating target. Lina, his beloved, his anchor, his world.The question that gnawed at his sanity was not *who*, but *how?* How had they managed to breach his defences? How had they infiltrated his world, shattering the illusion of safety he had carefully constructed around Lina? He had been so focused on the larger battles, on the grand scheme, that he had overlooked the tiny, insidious

    In the dim-lit confines of the grand manor, the air crackled with tension as Xander, his eyes blazing with fury, interrogated his former mother-in-law, Lady Willow. His iron grip tightened on her frail shoulder, his voice a menacing growl.'I'll ask you one more time, where is Tobias!' he demanded, his words echoing through the opulent hall.Helena, Xander's ex wife, stood frozen on the staircase, her gaze fixed on the unfolding drama above. Despite the turmoil in her heart, she remained silent, her lips pressed tightly together. The recent rift between her and her mother had severed any shred of sympathy she might have felt for Lady Willow. It was time her manipulative mother faced the consequences of her treacherous actions.Lady Willow's gaze met Xander's, and she could not suppress a shudder at the fiery determination burning within his piercing blue eyes. Her voice trembled as she spoke, each word a desperate plea.'Tobias has a secret hideout underground, in the cellar of a poul

    The acrid scent of clay hung thick in the air, a miasma interwoven with the faint tang of fear. Xander, his fists clenched, couldn't stand there any longer, a caged beast watching his prey chant insults.

He was a watchman, a sentinel, placed there by the dragon group, the shadowy organization that had snatched his fiancée, Lina.Xander's anger was a roaring furnace within him, fueled by a desperation that gnawed at his sanity. 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.

He had anticipated every possible contingency, every threat, yet here stood Xander, a whirlwind of fury and determination, ready to shatter the illusion of Tobias's absolute control.A sickening thud echoed through the chamber, the sound of a man's body collapsing against the unyielding stone floor.

The wedding cake, a testament to the dreams they had shared, now sat in the corner, a bittersweet reminder of a love lost, a life shattered.The sun, a cruel and mocking orb, peeked over the horizon, casting a pale, sickly light over the sprawling cemetery.

    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. He held her hand, her fingers slender and cool against his palm, and his gaze swept across the bustling city below. 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
