Alex and Luca arrived at the front of a building, its towering height resembling that of a skyscraper. On the sleek, glass wall of the building was a 3D inscription that read, "M. Famiglia." At that moment, Alex knew they had arrived at the right place.

The front of the building was eerily silent, void of any pedestrians. The only figures present were men in suits standing as security by the entrance, their presence marked by guns strapped visibly to their knees in sleek holsters. The atmosphere was tense, the kind that made anyone think twice before approaching.

Alex’s gaze drifted across the narrow one-way street that the building overlooked. Parked in a neat row, he noticed three distinct reporter vans.

“TNT…”

“NTA…”

“CCC…”

He muttered the names written boldly on the vehicles under his breath, a quiet smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. It was clear. The press had gathered inside the M. Famiglia building, likely to interview Michael. His instincts told him the game was about

    As Luca rose to his feet and said these words, Michael’s eyes blinked rapidly, his face betraying the fear he was trying so hard to conceal. He stammered, his voice faltering before he finally managed to speak.“uh, um, um, we won’t be tolerating questions from a non-reporter.”Luca smirked at the remarks. What did he mean by "non-reporter?" Pointing to the sticker on his chest, Luca replied, his voice steady and laced with sarcasm, “Mr. Michael Famiglia, perhaps you’re not looking at me very clearly. I’m a reporter for Early Birds News, and I’m going to be asking you some questions.”A hush fell over the room. None of the other reporters said a word or raised their hands for questions. The tension was palpable as every eye turned toward Luca, waiting to see what he would ask.Michael’s secretary, seeing the situation slipping out of control, quickly stood up. His expression hardened as he tried to take charge, knowing the gravity of what Luca might reveal. “I will be answering the qu

    “What?” Lord Famiglia exclaimed at the dining table. He was eating an apple with a table knife and sipping his wine to wash it down when he heard the news.“What?” he screamed again. In his sixties, he was clearly preparing to retire from the drama surrounding his business.To him, the mafia business was a life-threatening game, and he had planned to hand over the reins to his son soon. But now? “Luca did this?” he asked the news bearer—a man who had walked into the dining room to deliver the shocking update about the conference.“Bring my son to me!” he ordered, flinging the apple in his hand away, dropping the knife onto the table.His blood boiled inside his veins. He was furious. To mess with his son was to mess with him, and he wouldn’t tolerate it. Everyone knew how dangerous Lord Famiglia was, which was why, after conquering the entire mafia scene in Italy, no one dared challenge his authority.He was the poison no one wanted to swallow, and now this fool Luca dared to dig his

    Anastasia had just left Alex’s apartment, a knot of worry tightening in her stomach. She had been trying to reach him all day, but her calls went unanswered. What if something had happened to him? Each ring felt like an eternity, and with every passing moment, her anxiety grew. She was desperate to hear his voice, to know his whereabouts, and to assure herself that he was safe.Suddenly, her phone rang, jolting her from her thoughts. Hope surged as she glanced at the screen, but her heart sank when she saw the name. “Emmanuella?” she muttered, disappointment washing over her.Emmanuella had a knack for calling at the most inconvenient times, and Anastasia couldn't shake the feeling that this call would only add to her stress. The last time they spoke had been before that disastrous gathering when that arrogant jerk embarrassed her and her boyfriend in front of everyone. If this was about another get-together, she was ready to turn it down flat.“Hey!” she answered, forcing a cheerful

    Jackson was the type of guy who thrived on violence. Each act of aggression ignited a primal urge within him, a craving that twisted into something darker. The thrill of anticipation made his blood race, and he could feel himself responding, his body betraying him with an undeniable rise. He was electrified by the prospect of dominating someone, and today, that someone was Anastasia.“I will find you, and today, I will have a taste of you.” Jackson sang these words in an awkward melody, the sound bubbling into wicked laughter that echoed through the apartment. His voice filled the silence, a sinister serenade that underscored his twisted intentions.The outline of his hardening member was visible through his trousers, even if no one else was paying attention to it. He strolled around the living room, his footsteps slow and deliberate, as if savoring every moment of the hunt.He knew Anastasia was hiding in the bedroom, having locked the door behind her, but the thrill of pretending to

    Alex had not moved a muscle. Nevertheless, his eyes darted dangerously at Jackson, who stood before him with a sinister grin. He recognized him instantly—the same man who had tried to rape his girlfriend in the hotel just days ago. This was also the same man her family wanted her to marry by all means. He locked his gaze on Jackson, fully aware that the son of a bitch was a psychopath. He knew he had to think carefully before making a move; any miscalculation could put Anastasia in serious danger, and he didn’t want that.In that moment, Alex felt the energy from his ring surging through him. He knew his strength was heightened; it coursed through his veins, empowering him. But with that power came a warning: if he decided to confront this psycho, the psycho could end up severely injured. Even so, he didn’t care about the consequences of his heightened energy; all he wanted was to save Anastasia from this monster.“I say, fuck off, you!” Jackson yelled again, shoving Anastasia agains

    Just as Alex lifted the plank high above his head, poised to strike, Jackson's heart lurched. Paralyzed with fear, he braced himself for the agonizing blow. But then—nothing. His body trembled as he realized the impact never came. Alex had deliberately missed, the plank grazing just inches from Jackson’s vulnerable spot.Alex’s lips curled into a dark smile, his cold eyes glinting as he stood tall, towering over Jackson. “The police are on their way,” Alex announced, his voice calm, almost mocking. He flicked his fingers against Jackson’s forehead, the gesture dismissive, like swatting a fly. Jackson crumpled further, helpless, powerless beneath the weight of Alex's presence.Alex strode toward the living room, his steps echoing ominously in the air. He was in control. He didn’t need to say more; Jackson’s defeat was already etched on the floor beneath him. When Anastasia saw Alex enter the living room, relief flooded her face. She rushed into his arms, clinging to him like a lifeline.

    Commissioner Johnson was a man who had never accepted any unlawful money. He prided himself on his integrity and took his responsibilities seriously, never compromising the high standards of his position. Over the years, many had tried to sway him, but none had succeeded. To him, upholding justice was not just a job—it was a duty he carried on his shoulders with unwavering commitment.When the phone rang that afternoon, and Mrs. Nexera’s voice filled the receiver, Johnson wasn’t surprised by her attempt to offer him something under the table. It wasn’t the first time someone had tried to influence him with promises of favors or money, and it wouldn’t be the last. Hearing what she proposed made him smirk, just like the others who had tried before her. She was desperate, like many who had crossed his path.“Are you offering me a bribe, Mrs. Nexera?” His voice remained calm, though the hint of amusement in his tone was unmistakable. He knew the type—polite, elegant, trying to disguise co

    Alex could feel their eyes on him, wide with shock and disbelief, as though they were seeing a ghost. Even Anastasia, who already knew the truth, seemed momentarily stunned, as though hearing it anew made the reality sink in on a different level. He saw her eyes flicker with both surprise and awe, her expression mirroring the astonishment that gripped the others.“What did you say?” Mr. Stewart’s voice finally broke the silence, and Alex could tell he hadn’t fully processed it. He decided to speak more clearly, perhaps louder, allowing the weight of his words to fill the room as he laid out the story behind his identity, each word drawing gasps from his stunned audience.With every revelation, Mr. Stewart and Juliet’s faces softened from initial shock to something much closer to remorse. It was dawning on them just how much they had underestimated Alex.

Hence, Elisha was going to leverage it for his mission.Like everybody else, Elisha drove right through the already opened gate.

    Elisha sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room. The room was not like something he was used to.The small-sized bed, the small-sized room, the small-sized everything that was put in the room. It all felt almost suffocating. Back in Norway Bradad, his governmental-given residence was triple the size of this small-sized reservation in this hotel. But even so, he purposely chose the room.“It would be easier to get ready for the day ahead here than being in the bigger room," he convinced himself as he inspected this room before he paid for it. Sometimes, simplicity helped him focus.Ten minutes into sitting there, lost deep in thought about how he was going to execute his plan tomorrow, he heard the doorbell ring. Quickly shaking himself out of his mind maze, he rose to open it.Before opening, he already knew it was no one other than the personal shopper who had been summoned by the receptionist, judging by the needs he had earlier mentioned to her. He straightened his posture befo

    Five days and five nights passed, and Elisha was still walking towards the north in the jungle. His body was weary, his legs were swollen, and hunger gnawed at his insides like a wild beast. Each step grew heavier than the last.As the evening of the fifth day fell upon him, he found himself beneath the welcoming shade of an apple tree. He sat down heavily to catch his breath. This apple tree was the first edible fruit tree he had seen since he had started wandering through the dense and relentless jungle.To this discovery, he decided he would not miss this opportunist.Elisha looked up to the top of the tree and noticed a few apples already ripened under the orange sky. He reached out and touched the trunk, feeling the roughness of the tree bark beneath his palm. It was sturdy enough—something he could climb.Different countries, different weather, different soil, right? Back in Norway Bradad, apple trees were short. You could simply stretch out your hands and pluck even the apples

    Being the president of Norway Bradad, Agata had access to a lot of things, including a military private helicopter.After Elisha gave him a solemn nod, he understood the assignment without needing further explanation. He stepped out of Agata’s office with a respectful bow and immediately headed to the military camp, his mind already preparing for the mission ahead.For a general like him, war and battles were no strangers. He was a man who had climbed from the bottom to the very top of the military hierarchy, earning every stripe and rank through sheer determination and skill.Forty years ago, Elisha had joined the military as a recruit. His days had been filled with rigorous training—brutal trainings so harsh that many recruits like himself lost their lives before they could even complete it. But Elisha survived. He endured.From that point, he began at the lowest rank. Through unwavering bravery, numerous achievements, and countless victories in wars, he continued to rise. His progr

    Agata hung up the call suddenly, his breathing fast and heavy like an angry lion. He slammed the phone on the desk, clenching his fists as the fury boiled inside him.If Halsten had not threatened him, he’d have known exactly what to do. Even if it were not to later secure the oil well, he would have invaded Velmoria without a second thought and taught Alex a harsh lesson he wouldn’t forget.However, his hands were tied, and the feeling of helplessness gnawed at him. “Those motherfuckers!” Agata cursed bitterly as he pictured Halsten’s smug face and imagined giving him the weaning — right in his head again, harder this time.He exhaled sharply and moved toward his desk from the glass wall where he had been standing when he received the call. Just as he reached his chair, the heavy door creaked open, and Elisha stepped into his spacious presidential office.“Sir, I think you need to see this,” Elisha said, his voice tense with urgency.Agata turned sharply to face him.

    Agata dressed up in his military uniform, the fabric stiff yet familiar against his skin. As the constitution of Norway Bradad stated, he was not only the president of the country but also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Under his leadership, the next rise was Elisha. As Agata finished adjusting his uniform, he walked forward with purpose and got into his military convoy, the engines rumbling in readiness.“Let’s go!” he said to Elisha.Receiving his order promptly, Elisha leaned his head out of the window and instructed the military chauffeurs, “Move it!”Immediately, the convoy moved—not at a slow pace, but at a swift, deliberate speed, as if reflecting the urgency in the air.Twenty minutes later, the convoy screeched to a halt, and Agata stepped down at the headquarters military base. Without wasting a second, he headed straight down to the intelligence unit, his steps heavy with anticipation.The unit had already been briefed about his arrival. They knew why he was co

    “Hello, President Agata Newsway. It’s been a while,” Halsten said as soon as he heard the call had been transferred to Agata.He stood by the glass wall in his office, his grumpy, shaking hands buried deep in his pockets. Behind him, on a desk in the distance of his expansive presidential office, sat a cup of warm tea. A hanky was tucked into his loosened neck button inside his suit. The weather in Turnish was cold, and at his age, Halsten needed something warm to soothe his bones.“Indeed, it has been a long time,” Agata replied. He rose to his feet and walked toward his own glass wall, mimicking Halsten’s posture as though they were staring each other down from across continents.Halsten chuckled, aware of the sarcasm in both his words and Agata’s. The two nations were sworn enemies, and neither man pretended otherwise. The irony was thick in the air.“I’ll get straight to the point, President Agata Newsway,” Halsten said, his voice lower now, firmer and edged with tension. “Norway

    The night passed, and a new day dawned over Velmoria. Light filtered in through the long white curtains, and with it came a renewed sense of purpose. Alex rose from the bed, right from beside Anastasia. Her hair was spread over the pillow like a fan of gold threads, peaceful and calm. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. His cheek expanded into a soft, boyish smile he hadn’t worn in days.“You are very much happier today, Alex,” Anastasia said, a smile spreading across her face as her eyes fluttered open.“Yes, I am. Because you know what?” Alex replied, his tone light as he leaned back toward Anastasia, their lips locking together like beautiful couples on a honeymoon, full of love and shared dreams.“What?” Anastasia murmured with a small hum. Her curiosity stretched like an alerted dog, ears up, ready. She wanted to know—needed to know—why her husband seemed so different from the somber man who had left the bed quietly just nights ago, carrying the weight of a tr

    Alex and the advisory council were still deep in their meeting, discussing national matters, when a sudden sound disrupted the focused atmosphere. Alex’s phone began to ring, its sharp tone slicing through the air like a blade through silence. Heads turned slightly, eyes narrowing in disapproval, but Alex remained composed.He turned to the side just in time to see Robert walking towards him with steady steps. Robert, ever composed and professional, was clutching the phone in his hand. As Alex’s personal assistant and security detail, Robert was always close by, ready to step in whenever needed. He was more than just an employee — he was a trusted confidant.Robert paused beside him and leaned in, lowering his voice to a whisper. “Sir, President Victor Halsten from Turnish is on the line.”Alex’s eyes sharpened at the mention of the name. President Halsten wasn’t just another world leader. Their history went beyond diplomacy — it was personal. Turnish had supported him long before he a
