Molly stormed into the house, her mind still reeling from her encounter with Carl Moretti.

Her parents were in the sitting room, her mother scrolling through her phone while her father sipped on a glass of whiskey. They both looked up when she walked in, her expression a mix of frustration and confusion.

“Where have you been?” Rena asked, setting her phone down.

Molly didn’t answer immediately. She walked over to the couch, sat down heavily, and ran a hand through her hair. “I saw Alex,” she finally said.

Her mother scoffed. “What? You went looking for him after what he did?”

Molly shook her head. “I didn’t go looking for him. I just… happened to be at a café the other night, and I saw him there. But he wasn’t alone.”

Her father, Miller, raised a brow. “And?”

“He was with Carl Moretti.”

The room fell into silence. Rena blinked, clearly unimpressed, while Miller set his glass down, his expression unreadable.

“Who?” her mother finally asked, her tone dismissive.

Molly exhaled sharply.

    Molly sat at the farthest corner of the café, her fingers wrapped around a cold glass of whiskey. The café had a minibar attached for those who wanted something stronger, and tonight, Molly needed something to take the edge off.She had come here hoping to see Alex again. It had been days since her visit to Carl Moretti’s estate, and the unanswered questions still haunted her. She wanted to call Alex, should have called him but she was too ashamed. Too stubborn.So, she waited.Her pride aside, she would just be too much if she decided to call him and tell him that she wanted to see him, he would obviously decline and it would hurt her badly.With each sip of her drink, her frustration grew. The alcohol burned her throat, dulling her thoughts but not her worries. She had just started on her second glass when she noticed them.Two men, sitting across the room, watching her.At first, she ignored them. She had been stared at before, nothing new. But as the night dragged on, she felt th

    “I would rather die than to surrender to my enemy. Have you forgotten who I am? Or did it not occur to you that you might be speaking to Y-faced not X. My brother might have been lenient with you because you were a woman but there is no way I will be doing that with you.”“Then you leave me with no choice.” She cracked her fingers Then she rushed at him with a flying kick but just as she was going to launch the punch on him, Y faced was quick to avoid it at once.He moved away from her direction at once, this caused her to land on her back. Kael did not even spare her a glance, his goal was to take Y faced down on his own so that his uncle would be able to reward him and discredit Thea, he was not going to let her ruin his plan totally.He put out his one of one skill of throwing continuous punches till he was exhausted. Y faced’s swiftness and reflexes help him dodge all the blows he was supposed to receive from Kael.“Is this all you’ve got?” Y faced mocked both of them. “Mericania

    “I told you not to come out of your house to disturb us, are you defying my orders on purpose?”Alex ignored her yelling and bent over to check Y-Faced's pulse to see if he was still breathing.“That is not what I expect to hear from you.”“Is he dead? Where did you get such martial art skills from? Who taught you the tricks you just pulled on him?” Thea asked him. “Tricks?” he scoffed, she was obviously zeroing his skills to tricks but he wasn’t surprised it was Thea afterall, her arrogance would never let her admit that she had just seen him do something she could not do. It was fine by him, that way he would not have to explain his skills to her.“He is not dead,” he added, when he was about to leave her words stopped him in his tracks.“His name is Y-faced, he is the brother of the man that has been terrorizing the city for a while,” she said, leaving out the part that she had suffered from constant harassment grom X faced.

    They arrived at the dragon order with her men. Hannah stone rushed to her at the entrance, she had stayed back at the order, handling some matters, while They had to rush out to handle Y faced’s matters.”How did it go ma’am?” she asked then she looked at the bodies that were being brought in by the men at the back.“Is that lord Kael? And Y faced? MY lord, are they there already?” She asked in fear, especially for Kael. if he came in dead, it might cause problems with the minister. That would mean having to handle political queries with more issues with X and Y’s factions.They are not going to let the dragon order be after two of their men are down.“They are not dead,” Thea said then she stopped in her tracks, The other men joined her. “Take Lord Kael to the doctors in the private clinic and have doctor Reed come in.”They all got to work, leaving her and Stone alone. “Alex was the one that took him down.”“Who?

    A dull throbbing pounded against Thea’s skull as she slowly regained consciousness. Her eyelids felt heavy, her limbs weak, as if she had been asleep for days. The first thing she became aware of was the cool, sterile scent of antiseptic lingering in the air, followed by the distinct sound of a heart monitor beeping softly in the background.She wasn’t in her office anymore.Her fingers twitched against the soft sheets beneath her, and as her vision cleared, she realized she was lying in the infirmary. The dim overhead lights cast a muted glow across the white walls, giving the room an eerie stillness.“My Lord,” a familiar voice called, laced with concern.She turned her head slightly and saw Hannah standing near her bedside, arms crossed, her brows furrowed. Her usual calm demeanor was overshadowed by an unmistakable look of worry.Thea frowned, her voice raspy as she spoke. “What… happened?”Hannah let out a slow breath, hesitating for a moment before answering. “You collapsed.”

    The minister is here, my lord,” one of Thea’s men announced.“What? Why is he here in person? Has the news reached his ears?” Hannah Stone asked, Then she got up and wore the rest of her uniform that was lying by bed.She marched out of the hospital room steadily as if she had not passed out some hours ago and she wanted to meet him in her office.When she pushed the door open, she saw Kael standing right in front of her, to her surprise. She didn't expect him to have woken up.She lowered her head before the minIster., “Good evening sir, it is a surprise that you have graced us with your presence. To what do we owe the grand pleasure?”The old man cleared his throat. “Are you saying I am not welcomed here?” Minister Justin Timbersea with a scowl on his face. He never failed to hide his hatred for Thea.“You may be Thor Walton’s descendant but that doesn’t make you any more than my subordinate so mind how you speak to me!” he barked.“I am sorry sir.” she apologize,Kael was grinning

    The room was thick with tension, a palpable force pressing against the walls of Thea’s office. The minister’s scowl deepened as he studied Thea, his gray eyes sharp with disapproval.“You dare defy me?” Minister Timbersea growled, his voice laced with anger.Thea kept her expression neutral, though her fingers twitched at her sides. “I do not mean to defy you, sir,” she replied evenly. “But you know the rules as well as I do. The prisoner is under my jurisdiction, and I cannot risk his removal until my men and I have properly assessed him.”The minister’s nostrils flared, his lips curling in irritation. “And you expect me to simply accept that?”“Yes,” Thea said without hesitation.Kael chuckled, shaking his head. “You see, Uncle? This is the problem with allowing someone like her to hold such an important position.” His eyes glinted with malice as he turned to Thea. “You think yourself above everyone else just because you won the war god’s trial, but you fail to realize that victory

    Thea remained motionless for a few moments after the minister and Kael left. Her office still felt heavy with their presence, and though she had managed to maintain her composure, the confrontation had drained her. Minister Timbersea was a dangerous man, and she knew he would not let this go so easily.A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. “Come in,” she called, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.The door opened, and Hannah Stone stepped inside. “That didn’t go well,” she said dryly.Thea let out a humorless chuckle. “Did you expect it to?”Hannah shook her head and sat on the edge of Thea’s desk. “He’s going to push for your removal, you know that, right?”Thea exhaled slowly. “I know.”Hannah studied her for a moment before speaking again. “What do you want to do?”Thea’s fingers drummed against the desk. “We need to secure Y-Faced better. If the minister is this desperate to see him, it means he knows something we don’t. And that’s what worries me.”Hannah’s

  • Chapter 153 - General Earlton

    The Walton family SUV pulled into a secluded private estate hidden deep within the outskirts of Trim City. Unlike the extravagant displays of wealth that dominated the city, gold-plated gates, surveillance drones, fountains carved from pure crystal, this compound was modest, covered by the whisper of forest trees and protected by a mist that never lifted entirely. The air was heavy with a calm, almost otherworldly pressure, like the land itself was ancient and sentient.Thea stepped out of the car with a stern expression. She wore her full black War God uniform an armored coat lined with silver embroidery and a long red scarf that fluttered with the wind. Her short hair was tied up neatly, and her commanding aura had not diminished despite the casualness of the visit.Behind her, Hannah, her ever-loyal assistant, followed while inspecting the area with sharp, curious eyes. Dressed in a more modern military style, Hannah was the perfect contrast to Thea blunt, emotional, and unapolog

    Alex leaned against the polished marble counter of the upscale lounge, watching the bartender pour a neat whiskey into his glass. The air was thick with low chatter, soft jazz humming through the speakers, and the flicker of candlelight bouncing off wine glasses. It was the kind of place he usually reserved for business meetings or quiet nights of reflection, but tonight had a different energy. Tonight was about celebrating.He looked up just in time to spot Sean walking in, a confident smile stretched across his face. The two locked eyes, and Alex grinned, raising his glass slightly in greeting.“You look like a man with good news,” Alex said as Sean approached.Sean chuckled and took the seat beside him. “Better than good, man. I got the job.”“No way!” Alex set his drink down and clapped Sean on the back, genuinely thrilled. “You got it?”“Assistant manager,” Sean said, pride and disbelief mingling in his voice. “Can you imagine? Me?”“Hell yes, I can imagine,” Alex replied, signal

  • Chapter 151 - Conditions

    Miller wasn’t truly concerned whether Alex succeeded in getting him the board position or not. In fact, deep down, he hoped Alex failed. That way, it would provide him the perfect excuse to sever all ties with him completely. He didn’t want to be tethered directly or indirectly to Carl Moretti. The mafia’s shadow was already long and dark over Trim City, and Miller had narrowly survived too many storms to let himself get dragged into another one. His reputation was hanging by a thread, and he knew better than to let it fray.So when Alex had pleaded for a second chance, Miller hadn’t outright said no but his agreement had come with a heavy undertone of reluctance. It was strategic, not sentimental. If Alex pulled through, fine. If he didn’t, it would be the final nail, and Miller would be done with him.With that tension still hovering in the air, Alex returned to Tina’s office that afternoon. Not for business this time, but for their date the second of ten they had both agreed t

    As soon as Miller walked out of Tina Snow’s office, Alex rushed after him.“Uncle Miller!” he called out to him.Miller stopped in his tracks and turned to face him. He was still visibly pissed.“I’m sorry about what happened the other day. Uncle, I know no excuse would be enough. After all, it was my fault for not checking in before going to your house,” Alex apologized sincerely.Miller sniffed. He already knew the truth that his wife had framed Alex but he wasn’t about to tell him that. He didn’t want to lose face in front of the boy.He squared his shoulders. The resentment inside him simmered down a little as he remembered all that he had lost his ties with Raymond Bourne, and the respect he once commanded.He was highly happy that Bourne had met up with him, besides he had also pictured the opportunities that would flock around him because of his relationship with Ray.But instead, it caused him more harm than anyone could envision but somehow he was able to vindicate himself.

  • Chapter 149 - Someone like Alex.

    Tina’s voice sliced through the tension in the room like a blade.“That was rude, Miller. You don’t speak to people like that, especially not someone like Alex.”Her brows were drawn together in disapproval, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she glared at the man seated across from her. She looked every bit the confident, assertive woman people knew her to be fierce, sharp-tongued, and used to having things go her way. Miller, on the other hand, looked unimpressed. He merely lifted his eyes toward her and gave a scoff, like her words held no weight.“I didn’t ask for his opinion,” Miller replied flatly. “If someone barges into a meeting unannounced, they should be prepared for how they’re received.”Alex, standing just near the door, seemed caught between staying and saying more, or simply slipping out to avoid escalating the situation. He bowed his head slightly, voice soft and apologetic.“I’m sorry for interrupting,” Alex said, his tone calm and respectful despite the obv

  • Chapter 148 - Investment List

    Alex changed into a sharp, formal tuxedo as he prepared for his date with Tina. While tying his cufflinks, his thoughts drifted silently to Victor Miller. He was heading to Tina Snow’s company an hour before their scheduled date not by coincidence, but by design. He needed time to find Miller and speak with him before anything else.A part of him considered asking for forgiveness after all, the misunderstanding between them wasn’t truly his fault, but it had still caused damage. Yet, the idea of bringing it up felt strange, given that it stemmed from Rena’s false accusations. What would Miller even say? Would he believe him now?Still, Alex couldn’t shake the feeling that he owed the man something.Carl had recently informed him that Raymond Bourne was one of the influential figures who approved the list of companies eligible for investment from the Snow family’s enterprise. Since the Bourne family held significant shares in Snow’s company, Raymond’s word carried weight.Carl also rev

    Alex sat patiently at the bus stop, waiting for Sean to show up at the same place where he had dropped him off the last time they met. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Sean to reach out again after how things had ended between them.When Sean finally arrived, he looked a little better than the last time, though the stress was still evident on his face.“Hmmm… How have you been all these years?” Sean asked, taking a seat beside him. “I see you managed to secure some good deals for yourself.”Sean was aware of what had happened behind the scenes. He knew how Alex’s extended family had swooped in to take control of his father’s businesses and stripped Alex and his sister of their rightful inheritance. He added with a light chuckle, “You even managed to repurchase your father’s car, huh?”That wasn’t public knowledge, but Sean had always been close enough to the Cole family to know more than most.Alex smirked. “Good bands, huh? That’s funny coming from you, Sean. Isn’t your family still doi

    “He had openly declared that I wasn't worth being at the event, in front of every doctor present in there,” Alex added.Roman faced Reed, he had sent him to represent him at that event and he didn't know that he had done such a thing. Even if this was not done against the Divine doctor’s precious student, it was wrong to do that to anyone.“How dare you treat a doctor like that in public, you didn't even do that to just anyone but Doctor Cole. Even if it was a junior Doctor, it is wrong to do that any one.” Roman scolded him.Reed was too scared and he could not utter any words in his defense.“I am so sorry that he had done that to you Doctor Alex. I don’t think what I am about to say will help make this up to you but it is the least I could do to ease things up.” Roman Reign said apologetically, “You may decide what his punishment is because he needs to be taught a lesson to never disrespect any doctor in his life.”“Forbid him from using the skills he had learned from your medical
