Cullen’s eyes were bloodshot when he saw Sylvester finally charge him.

This was the moment he had been waiting for all this while, and Sylvester was finally giving it to him.

The privilege to kill the bastard.

However, when he struck with all his might, his fists met resistance. Resistance followed by a few quick jabs to his ribs. Nothing particularly disorienting, but it still mocked him.

"You’re sloppy," Sylvester said, shaking his head. "You’re not built for this, Cullen. Strength without control is just wasted energy."

Cullen snarled. "Shut up!" He launched forward again, his strikes coming faster, more relentless.

He swung, kicked, twisted his body for unexpected angles, but every single attack met the same result.

Sylvester dodged each of his attacks like they were coming to him at a snail’s pace.

Then, just as Cullen pulled back to strike again, Sylvester stepped in and delivered a sharp kick to the side of his knee, sending him stumbling.

Again, these attacks didn’t do what

    Sylvester stood over the collection of weapons laid out before him. Rows of well-engineered firearms, finely crafted swords, spears, and daggers gleamed under the dim lantern light. Beside them, crates of small crystal-infused devices capable of boosting one’s strength and reflexes.They all sat ready for distribution. He nodded in satisfaction. This would do.“Geral,” he called.Geral stepped forward, arms crossed. “Master. You called?”“You’re in charge of these,” Sylvester said, gesturing toward the arsenal. “Make sure every recruit gets what they need.”Geral’s eyebrows rose. “You don’t think this is too much? I mean…these are new recruits. Do they really need this much fire power?”Katherine was passing by, taking some things to and from the store. On hearing the conversation, she frowned. “That’s too little if anything. No grenades? No thowables?” her voice got louder as she got further. “Molotov cocktails? Although, I could prep that on the go…”Sylvester smirked. “I trust you

    Pain. That was the first thing that greeted his body as soon as his mind drifted back into consciousness. So much, that even opening his eyes came at a cost he wasn’t able to pay immediately, so he just kept them close.Instead, he let the pain engulf his body, like molten magma spread through his entire body. The pain ate its way through his joints, muscles and flesh. It felt like the most painful way to go yet he knew this wasn’t his time. With great effort, Cullen opened his eyes.A hospital.The harsh fluorescent lighting made him wince. The sterile white ceiling stared back at him, unfamiliar yet unmistakably medical. He tried to shift, but his muscles refused to cooperate. That’s when he noticed the IV in his arm, the heart monitor attached to his chest.His mind raced. How did he get here?Sylvester. There was no denying it.The place he had ambushed him was lonely…too lonely for anyone to have come across him by chance. Heck, they had a lot of time to fight, and no authoritie

    Emily was staring at the papers in front of her with intent, hoping that if she stared long enough, they’d burst into flames and disappear.25 pages was a lot of work. And she was supposed to review it. Her attorney said she must.That’s when the calls started coming in.At first, she ignored it, assuming it was just another work-related message. If she had to respond to another idiot telling them to go ahead with what she had already given the go-ahead for days ago, she’d lose her mind.But then it buzzed again. And again. With a sigh, she pulled it out of her pocket and glanced at the screen.“Unknown number.”Her brow furrowed. It wasn’t often she got calls from unknown numbers, and instinct told her to let it go to voicemail.

    The lighting in the expansive study seemed to grow dimmer as Sylvester Wright wheeled himself in. As his sharp eyes took in the environment, he caught sight of his wife, Emily, hunched on a couch, her eyes empty and distant. She stared into space, a small crease on her forehead.For the past few days, she seemed to zone out more, becoming a shadow of herself. The smoke from the teacup in her hands grew faint.He let out a sigh, wheeling himself in her direction. She wasn’t aware of his presence; or so he thought. “Disappearing again?” Her sharp words cut into the silence faster than he could take his next breath. She turned to him, a feigned smile on her face. “For what? Six days? A week? Forever this time?”Clearing his throat for a moment, Sylvester thought of what to tell her. He could tell that she was getting to her breaking point. Could he blame her though? She had been patient enough. “I’ll be back soon, Emily,” he assured, his voice calm. “And I’ll explain everything to you.

    “What? You want a divorce?” Sylvester stared wordlessly at Emily. The desperation and frustration on her face weighed down heavily on him. The pain in his legs could not compare to that in his heart as he watched her breakdown. “You shouldn’t say things like that, Emily.” He sighed. Wasn’t a divorce simply going too far? He was almost close to his goal.This was the most he could do in his state. “Knowing too much right now is not good. I promise to explain everything to you when I’m done. Trust me.” He moved his wheelchair closer to her.“Don’t come closer, Sylvester.” Emily felt a rollercoaster of emotions wash over her. He sounded genuine, like he really cared. Yet, his secretive ways told her another story. A million theories flew around her mind as to his reason, but there was no good conclusion.“I want to know, Sylvester!” She cried out, her hands grabbing a fistful of her hair. “Are you in trouble? After all, ever since we’ve gotten married, I’ve been ridiculed. What more are

    Feeling a sense of rejuvenation overwhelm him, Sylvester's frown eased onto a warm smile. She hung the beautiful pendant back on her neck, and he could not help but admire it on her. It fitted her perfectly. However the sadness on her face pricked his heart, and he wanted to ease her pain.Sylvester clutched the edges of his wheelchair, struggling to rise to his feet and embrace her, but his legs were too weak to hold him up. Realizing his failure, he braced himself, crashing on the ground and falling just at her feet. "Just give up already," Emily laughed, her eyes glinting with mockery. "It's pitiful watching you struggle like this. It's pointless." Her voice rang with apathy as she chastised him like a bad child and he raised his head slowly to find a mocking smile on her face.Sylvester lowered his head, a smile on his face. He still needed more time before the operation would be successful. “Please help me up.” He said but she turned around.He could sense the overwhelming frust

    Time stood still as Sylvester stood on his feet, strength coursing from his sturdy legs to the rest of his body.At last. The time and money spent at the secretive monthly military rehabilitation programme had finally paid off. His lips turned slightly in a faint smirk. How glad he was to finally be able to stand after two years of being paralysed. He also had Emily to be grateful for.Not only had she been patient with him for all these months, not asking him where he kept disappearing with her money until now, but she had also been the reason he was now on his feet.Now, he could finally leave the military rehabilitation centre to focus on the things that actually mattered— cultivating his strengths and making it up to his wife, Emily.Isabella’s face contorted from one of shock to pure disdain. It was almost like she didn't care that he was now on his feet. If anything, she appeared intimidated."Congratulations to you, Mr. Wright," she clapped, mocking him with her words. "You c

    The matriarch's eyes widened. Her wrinkled face drew further into an ugly scowl as she rose from her throne-like seat.She pointed her trembling slender fingers in Emily's face."How dare you object to my command? You've become such an insolent and spoiled lady! You are truly not deserving of the family business," the matriarch spat in annoyance and disgust.Emily's tears fell in large pellets. "Grandmother, I worked hard for this. It was very little when it was handed over to me. You can't take it away," she passionately pleaded. "Please. It's all I have, and I love it so much."The matriarch's eyes softened slightly as she patted Emily's cheeks."My darling, you've always been a good girl from your childhood, and I've always loved you for that," she deadpanned."Keep being a good girl now by handing over the company to your brother. Choose the best interest for your family. The family business will do better in Cullen's hands, don't you know?"Emily wiped her tears away. The old wom

    The new warriors were gathered before Sylvester could even finish arranging his thoughts. Geral was like that. Sometimes, too efficient. Sylvester liked that. That was a good thing to be “extra” at.The faces of the soldiers and his students were furrowed in anticipation as they waited for him to address them.“You know, I planned something before…and the message was communicated to you all, right?” Sylvester asked. There were mumbles, but most of it was in agreement.“Well, that was a test, designed to gauge your loyalty.” Sylvester revealed his plan blatantly, causing a rancor.There were mumbles, gasps and even outspoken comments.It was expected.“We’re scrapping that, though, and replacing it with something else,” his eyes swept the crowd, looking through the faces of men that looked too uncomfortable with his words.Those men needed to go.A murmur rippled through the crowd, but Sylvester lifted a hand, silencing them before they could break into full-on whispers.“We’re facing

    “So, this…Nine, you call him?” Sylvester asked Otto. He, so far, had tried to be as casual with the boy as possible. He didn’t want to do anything to force his back into a shell, knowing everything he had been through. “Yeah?” Otto picked at the breakfast that was given to him. It was the next day, and the people that had taken him looked like they were going to care enough for him, so he was at peace. “You think you can remember exactly what he looked like?” Sylvester prodded lightly. “Oh, yeah. Beat me for a while. Of course, I remember,” Otto chuckled, his eyes darting back and forth trying to shake a reminiscence too vivid. This was what Sylvester was avoiding. A recall that would send him back into his shell, but it was necessary. How was he going to remember the face of the man, if he didn’t relive his traumatic past? Otto was going to have to be strong here. Otto chewed slowly, eyes flickering with a distant memory. “Tall. Muscular. Scar on his left cheek. Wore a lot o

    Sylvester leaned against the edge of the desk, arms crossed, as he studied the young boy standing in front of him. Otto looked as wary as ever, even though they had just given him a nice meal and a set of new clothes that were more comfortable than the tattered pair that he was wearing before.One of the telltale signs of human trafficking is that the effects stick with you forever.Not for a long time…not for a very long time. Forever. And so Sylvester knew deep down, that Otto would never feel as great a sense of peace as the normal person ever again.And the fact that such a young boy had to experience horrors like these made his blood boil. It made him more determined to find these evil criminals and make them pay.Katherine, standing beside Sylvester, watched Otto with careful eyes. “So, these traffickers,” she started, “how many are they?”“Those aren’t productive questions,” Geral face-palms.“Well, we have got to start somewhere,” Katherine shrugged and looked back to the boy

    Cullen paced the darkened alley, his fingers twitching with impatience. The stranger had told him to come alone.That alone should have deterred him. He could be robbed here. Stabbed and killed. No one would ever find his body.Yet, here he was. Bravery fueled by the craving for power and revenge.Was this even healthy? He wasn’t sure. But one thing was certain. He was going to get his revenge. If this fell through the roof, he would look for an alternative.He had done underground deals before.But nothing like this.He had handed envelopes under tables, sent hush money, even done deals where he had to bury transactions and randomize his mail. But what he was seeing? This felt…strange. Truly, he was face to face with the black market.At first, it seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. Just a dark shady alley way.But the eyes of the people passing by…when they met his, had a certain knowing that he knew was not of the world he was used to.A shadow moved at the far end of the al

    Sylvester stared at the dot on his screen, blinking against the coordinates and lines.It was the tracker he had put on the boy, and the boy had already started moving, having finished his end of day sales, perhaps.Now, Sly just needed to find where he lived, so that he could begin paying the boy regular, more constructed visits, not like the cold standoffish conversation they had in the alleyway. He needed to make the boy see that he could fight for a better life, not just for himself, but for whatever was keeping him on the streets.The dot stopped moving.Not completely, just…around a particular point."An abandoned construction site?" he muttered to himself, narrowing his eyes.This couldn’t be the boy’s final destination. It was either he was remitting money to his suppliers, or taking stock for the next day’s sales. Or he was being jumped.There was the excuse that this could have been his home, since he did look like a runaway, but most runaways would have taken shelter in mor
