"Hmmn, it's my sister-in-law. Why is she calling me?" Aarav was surprised to see Bella Rossi's name flashing on the caller ID.

Bella, his wife's younger sister and the owner of Bella Couture, rarely contacted him unless there was something urgent.

"Hello," Aarav answered the phone.

"Good, the call went through. Hey, listen up, 'cause I won't say it twice. If you want Bella Rossi alive, then bring 100 million Celestial Crowns, in half an hour, at the back of Second Venue Dome Plaza!" Instead of Bella's sweet voice, a gruff man's threatening tone demanded a ransom.

(Note: Currency of this world: "Celestial Crown" (C₢))

"Du...du...du...Hello...hello...fucker!" Before Aarav could react, the line went dead.

"What kind of situation did she get herself into, and how the heck did this bastard get hold of her?" Aarav muttered, his mind racing with concern for Bella Rossi.

He swiftly changed into simple clothing he found in a drawer before rushing out.

"Where is the place again? Right, let's take a cab!" Aarav left the estate in a hurry, arriving on the main road, his thoughts consumed by worry and confusion about Bella's kidnapping.

"Second Venue Dome Plaza, ASAP. I'll double the fare if you get there the fastest!" Aarav instructed the cab driver, who eagerly agreed, eyes lighting up at the promise of extra payment.

"Right away, Mr. Fasten your seatbelt. It won't take much longer than ten minutes!" The driver assured as Aarav settled into the back seat.

"Vrooomnm...!"

The cab's engine roared, and with a thunderous sound, it sped up, providing Aarav with a thrilling yet tense experience as they raced against time to reach Second Venue Dome Plaza.

The urgency in the air added to the palpable tension, amplifying the intensity of the situation.

......

Second Venue Dome Plaza,

A bustling hub where a weekly herb market unfolded, drew crowds seeking various herbs.

The sizable area enclosed by the dome-shaped venue had two sections: one for market exhibitions, including auctions for rare herbs, and the other for the public to rest and discuss.

On this particular day, the plaza was alive with people searching for herbs, and officers worked to maintain public order.

However, the back of the dome Plaza was deserted, with six black cars parked in a circle behind Second Venue.

In the middle of this quiet space, a group of dozens of men encircled a young lady sitting timidly on a stool.

"Who are you people, and how dare you try to kidnap me! Do you know who I am?" The lady spoke in a slightly cold tone, attempting to appear tough in front of the intimidating men surrounding her.

"Hahahaha! Look, lady, we know exactly who you are, your background, Ms. Bella Rossi." The men erupted in laughter, finding her defiance amusing.

A strong and intimidating man stepped forward, towering over her, and spoke, acknowledging that they knew who she was and addressing her by name.

"What do you want? Why did you kidnap me?" Bella Rossi asked, sensing that these men didn't seem to fear her family background.

The leader, with a sinister grin, leaned in, his face inches from hers. "Oh, Ms. Rossi, you're quite the catch. Your family's got deep pockets, and we're here to empty them. A hundred million Celestial Crowns, to be precise."

Bella's eyes widened in shock and fear. "You think my family will pay such a ransom?"

The leader chuckled menacingly. "Oh, they will. And if they don't, well, let's just say we've got other ways of making them see reason. Maybe a lovely piece of you in the mail as a reminder."

Another man, with a menacing grin, chimed in, "Oh, we're counting on it. Your precious family won't risk harm coming to their beloved fashion icon."

Bella recoiled, her bravado wavering. "You criminals! My family won't bow down to such threats."

The leader grinned, revealing a cruel satisfaction. "We'll see about that, won't we? You're not in a position to negotiate, Ms. Rossi. Now, make yourself comfortable. This is gonna be a long day." The menacing laughter of the men echoed through the dimly dark space, intensifying the chilling atmosphere of the situation.

The menacing atmosphere intensified as Bella faced the grim reality of her situation.

"Hehehe, now we're talking, but don't worry. I already called your family. If they bring the money I asked for and arrive on time, we'll let you leave peacefully. Otherwise, you can imagine what would happen...!" The leader chuckled, a sinister satisfaction in his smile as he felt pleased that she understood their demands.

His words didn't bring comfort; they instilled more fear in Bella as she observed the other men ogling her without concealing their wretched expressions.

'I really hope they arrive here on time. I don't know how much longer I can withstand these ugly, disgusting men staring at me!' Bella thought, praying silently that her family would come to her rescue swiftly.

Feeling violated just from their stares alone, she never imagined she would be in such a horrifying situation. Even her brother-in-law hadn't displayed such depravity; at least she didn't find his glances towards her body repulsive.

'Why is that good-for-nothing brother-in-law coming to my head!' Bella Rossi shook her head, unexpectedly finding herself thinking about him amidst the chaos.

"Brother Tiger, can we have some fun with her before we exchange her for the ransom?" After a prolonged wait, one of the men spoke up, turning towards their leader.

"Hehe, Brother Tiger, we won't damage her, so can you let us have some fun!" Another one chimed in, displaying a lewd smile, making his intentions clear to Brother Tiger, the leader of this group of men.

"Yes...yes, Brother Tiger, let us play a little!" Another one joined in, mirroring the lecherous expression of the others.

Then, all of them directed their attention back to her, their expressions suggesting they were undressing her with their eyes.

Bella's heart pounded, a nauseating realization of the grim fate that might await her in the hands of these menacing captors.

The atmosphere grew even more sinister, casting a shadow over her already dire circumstances.

Emilia asked in a serious tone, hearing that Aria was familiar with the attackers."Yes... these are the same people who attacked Elandor's domain a while back. And I am pretty sure you can guess whose forces these are," Aria said with a contemplative look before she gave a glance at Emilia, who seemed to understand what Aria was trying to point out."I know... looks like we can’t overlook it any longer. Lady Aria, may I request you to get reinforcements, as I am not sure about the extent of the destruction these forces can cause in our land?" Emilia nodded, her face turning even graver before she bowed towards Aria and made her request."Please, you don't have to request it from me. I will help you either way, as it's also a threat to our land. While I go and gather reinforcements, can you hold on for a while?" Aria asked, stopping Emilia from bowing to her as she smiled in determination and agreed immediately."Yes, we will hol

Kneeling once again, he showed no anger or frustration at being injured—only trembling fear in the face of the figure’s fury on the throne.Sylas’s eyes, glowing with an unnatural light, cut through the darkness as he sat motionless on the throne, his presence suffocating. The High Prophet of Pestilence didn’t dare lift his head.

    ............“Thank you,” Aria replied, her movements graceful as she took a seat across from him. Between them stood a small circular table, with a basket of snacks and fruit placed in the center, adding a touch of warmth to the room’s otherwise solemn atmosphere."Mr. Aarav, what are your plans regarding the cultists? I’m certain they won’t stop invading this continent and causing chaos," Aria asked, sitting back in a relaxed position, her eyes steady on him.Aarav sighed, his tone dim and unconfident. "What can I do alone? Even with the Crystal Healing Organization backing me, I’m not confident in facing those lunatic cultists." He spoke with a heaviness, aware of the overwhelming power he had witnessed in their last battle.He knew his own limitations. The devastation left by the cultists was a harsh reminder. Even Pope Aurelius, with all his influence, wouldn’t be enough to turn the tide. Aarav understood that unless he reached the fourth stage, the *Virtuoso of Vitality*, he wo

The sight made Aarav's heart race uncontrollably."Aarav... it's just Aarav, Miss Aria. Please, don't be so formal; it makes me feel uncomfortable." He interrupted her before she could speak too respectfully again, gently requesting that she call him by his name instead.Aarav didn’t want to come off like some spoiled young master, or as if they were stuck in some ancient civilization that hadn’t learned how to speak casually about simple things."Oh... alright, Mr. Aarav." Aria seemed a little surprised but then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Fufu...You don’t seem to like the ancient etiquette, do you?"Her soft laughter filled the air, the warm

He flinched, sensing the ominous energy closing in around him."You think that’ll be enough to get rid of me?" Aarav’s voice cut through the tension. "You’ve forgotten who you're dealing with."As the dark energy swirled and gathered, Aarav took a deep breath and raised his weapon high.

I was hoping to play with you some more!" The bald cultist cackled, his words dripping with contempt.Aarav wiped the blood from his lips, smirking. "Feeling smug, huh? It’s just a scratch, nothing worth mentioning." He rose to his feet, his body glowing as the injury healed instantly, as though it never existed.The cultist's eyes widened, then his expression twisted with anger. "Damn it! I forgot Elandor is the God of Healing and Medicine!" Realizing his mistake, fury replaced his shock, and he lunged at Aarav in a blind rage, furious at being humiliated.Aarav's smile turned cold. "Heh, let me show you what else I can do," he muttered under his breath."Swishhh... Whoosh...!!"The cultist attacked wildly, but A

Two figures were locked in a high-speed battle, while four others stood on the sidelines, amusement clear on their faces.“Is this all you’ve got, Heir of Elandor?” The bald man, wearing a black robe with dark tattoos on his head, sneered sarcastically at Aarav Veridian, who met his gaze with a cold, steely stare.“Are you really that eager to meet your end?” Aarav shot back, his voice dripping with sarcasm."Swiish... Bannng...!!"Aarav swiftly blocked the cultist’s strike aimed at his throat and, in one smooth motion, delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to the man’s ribs. The bald cultist’s eyes widened in pain as he stumbled backward, trying to regain his balance.“Argh... you bastard!” the cultist cursed, groaning in pain as he stood up, clutching his side where Aarav’s kick had landed. His eyes burned with fury.“
