There was only love, trust, peace, and deep satisfaction between them.The exhaustion that enveloped them was not ordinary—it was a fulfilling one that carried them into the warm, meaningful embrace of love.After the peak of their passion, they lay in each other’s arms, their bodies still trembling faintly, the remnants of desire lingering on their skin.

In that moment, they were one—bound by trust, desire, and a love
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 23: The Suryadi Power
The morning sun bathed the grand Suryadi residence, a stately colonial-style mansion standing proudly on several hectares of land. Inside, however, the atmosphere was thick with tension.Arvid Suryadi, the only son of a wealthy family, lay battered and bruised on the floor of the opulent living room. His face was swollen, his lips bloodied, and his clothes torn. It was a humiliating sight for the Suryadi family, known for their wealth and martial prowess.The Suryadi guards, a group of burly men with sharp eyes and trained bodies, stood tensely around Arvid. They were elite martial artists, skilled in various fighting styles, and rumoured to have secret ties to a powerful shadow sect known as the "Black Wolves." The existence of this sect added to the Suryadi family's strength and influence, making them even more arrogant and ruthless.But tonight, their arrogance had been dealt a heavy blow. The one who had humiliated the Suryadi family was an unknown man named Darian.Darian, a seem
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 24: The Heart's Healing
The aroma of coffee still lingered in the room, the warmth of the morning enveloping them both. With a soft smile, Yara gazed at Darian after he told her about Anita. Her eyes had a depth, an understanding that went beyond words."Darian," she said, her voice gentle yet filled with certainty, "You know, I’ve never seen you as mine. True love is about giving, not possessing. If your body wanders, let it. As long as you always return to me with a pure heart, with honesty."She continued, her voice trembling slightly with emotion, "I am happy to see you happy. Every smile of yours, every laugh you share with them, makes me feel alive. As long as you're open and honest with me, I trust you. Your heart is mine, even if your body may be surrounded by other beauty."With eyes full of love, she added, "So, enjoy this world. I’m here, always supporting you, because, for me, true love knows no boundaries. Trust and honesty are the foundation of our love, and I trust you." She reached for Darian
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 25: A Night of Chaos and Courage
Darian took a deep breath, exhausted but satisfied. He exited the room, ready to deliver the good news to Yara and her mother.As he exited the intensive care unit, his face still bore the marks of fatigue, but a relieved smile played on his lips. Yara and Mrs. Pratama immediately rushed toward him, their eyes filled with anxiety.“How is he?” Yara asked, her voice trembling.Darian smiled softly. “Your father is stable now. His heart is steady. He just needs rest and peace.”Mrs. Pratama gasped, then let out a sigh of relief, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Thank you, Darian. Thank you so much.”Yara looked at Darian with gratitude and admiration. She knew how much effort and strength he had poured into this. “How did you…?” she asked, still in disbelief.Darian explained briefly, “I used my healing abilities. I also saw the cause of his heart attack. It was the immense stress from Arvid’s situation and the Suryadi family’s pressure.”Mrs. Pratama nodded in understanding. “They’ve
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 26: The Reckoning
Yara never imagined that Darian possessed such extraordinary combat skills. She watched him as if he were a completely different person—strong, resilient, and utterly fearless. Amid the fierce battle, Darian spotted an opening. He grabbed one of the thugs and slammed him into a pile of wooden planks. **“Crack!… Splinter!”** The sound of breaking wood and the thug’s groans echoed simultaneously. With lightning speed, Darian closed in on the gang leader, delivering a precise, devastating punch. **“Thud!”** The impact was loud and jarring, bringing the fight to an abrupt end. Silence enveloped the old warehouse, broken only by Darian’s heavy breathing and the groans of the injured thugs. Darian’s gaze met Yara’s. His eyes were tired, yet they also radiated a deep sense of satisfaction. “It’s over,” he said, his voice heavy. He glanced at the fallen thugs, his expression cold and unyielding. Darian tossed the broken plank to the corner of the warehouse. Dust swirled in the dim light
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 27: The Price of Justice: Darian’s Choice
Dewi Suryadi sobbed uncontrollably, her voice trembling with desperation, "Please... we beg you... give us a chance to make things right."Arvid, his voice barely a whisper, spoke, "I... I regret everything I've done to Yara. I’m sorry..."Thomas's voice weak and filled with fear continued, "I... I’ll give up everything. Anything you want, Darian. Please... don’t take my life."Darian stood tall, his eyes cold and unwavering. He looked at Thomas, his gaze making the man tremble even more. "Your money and properties mean nothing to me, Thomas. This is not about wealth. It’s about justice."Thomas choked, his hands shaking as he tried to grasp anything that could offer him security. "But... but I’ve apologized! What more do you want? I’ve surrendered!"Darian took a step closer, his voice low yet full of threat. "You think an apology can erase everything you’ve done? You and your family have ruined countless lives. Now, you must face the consequences."Thomas Suryadi, who had tried to h

We’ll decide what’s worth keeping or developing, my love,” Darian whispered, still holding Yara tightly, savouring the softness and warmth of her body. “Businesses like nightclubs and casinos… we should just sell them.The money can be used for something more meaningful. What if we establish a humanitarian foundation? We could focus on scholarships for underprivileged children or poverty alleviation programs in remote areas. What do you think?” He gently kissed Yara’s hair, waiting for her response with full attention.Yara smiled, her eyes glistening. “That’s an incredible idea, my love,” she whispered, her fingers caressing Darian’s cheek.“We could make a real difference, help those in need. I’m so proud of you.” She softly kissed Darian’s lips, gratitude and love radiating from every touch. Darian returned her kiss, his hands exploring the curves of her body with tenderness. Their gazes met, filled with love and understanding.The room was enveloped in warmth and intimacy. They k
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 29: The Underground King
He ordered a drink and sat at the bar, observing the people coming and going. He noticed a few groups that seemed suspicious, whispering and exchanging secretive glances. He realized that this nightclub wasn’t just a place for entertainment—it was a gathering spot for the underground elite.After a while, he saw him. A large man with a dragon tattoo on his arm sat at a VIP table, surrounded by several bodyguards. It was the Crocodile Boss.Darian observed him from a distance, noting every movement and interaction with those around him. He watched as the Crocodile Boss received an envelope from a well-dressed man, whispering something Darian couldn’t hear.Darian decided to approach. He walked toward the VIP table, his steps calm and confident. He pulled out a chair and sat across from the Crocodile Boss without uttering a word. The Crocodile Boss stared at him with a sharp gaze, sizing Darian up from head to toe.“Who are you?” the Crocodile Boss asked, his voice deep and gravelly.Da

Mid Stage: Qi RefinementOnce Qi has been gathered, the next crucial step is refining it. At this stage, the raw energy collected within the body is purified and condensed, becoming sharper, denser, and far more powerful. Practitioners who reach this level can begin channeling their Qi to strengthen their physical form, move with unnatural speed, and even unleash basic Qi-based attacks—like fireballs or shockwaves.You, Lord Darian, are currently standing at this very stage. The fact that you managed to defeat the entire Shadow Battalion with one hand speaks volumes. You've not only grasped this level—you’ve mastered it.Advanced Stage: Core FormationThis is a monumental step in any cultivator’s path. It’s where the practitioner succeeds in forging a Qi Core deep within their body, usually in the lower Dantian. This core becomes a wellspring of immense, stable power—far more reliable than scattered Qi.At this level, the practitioner isn't just strong—they are formidable. They gain a
Chapter 48: The Path of Cultivation
While the Shadow Troops, led by Arvid, trained rigorously under the scorching sun and biting cold of the mountain air, elsewhere in a more secluded and tranquil location, Darian immersed himself in cultivation practice with Kai, his virtual assistant who had become an integral part of his life.This place was a hidden valley surrounded by towering cliffs and dense trees. The air there was incredibly fresh, brimming with natural energy that supported cultivation practices.Darian sat cross-legged on a flat, moss-covered stone, his eyes closed, his body calm yet focused. Around him, thin mist swirled gently, carrying subtle but powerful vibrations of energy. Although Kai lacked a physical form, he was present as a faint blue light hovering near Darian, providing real-time guidance and analysis."Kai," Darian murmured softly, his voice barely audible over the rustling wind. "Where do we begin today?"[Master Darian,] Kai’s clear and serene voice echoed in his mind. [Based on data collect
Chapter 47 The Shadow of the Young Master
Darian paused for a moment. Then, he continued in a louder, firmer voice.“On the battlefield or in the world of darkness, whoever has the bigger fist is the law. Whoever is stronger has the right to speak.I believe that this is an iron rule that applies everywhere! Therefore, I have one goal: to be stronger and stronger. Only then will we not be bullied by others; only then can we protect those around us that we love, including our family and friends!”Darian let out a long sigh, looking at the now-silent arena. He walked towards Arvid, stopping a few steps in front of him.He looked down at Arvid, his face showing pent-up disappointment and pain.As a young master, Arvid had never been treated so harshly, despite his best efforts.“You go see Alex tomorrow. Tell him you're the team leader of the Shadow Army,” Darian said, his voice softer but still firm.“At least compared to the others, you have more courage to say what you think. You have the assets to become stronger.”Arvid was
Chapter 46: The Weight of Leadership
All eyes were fixed on the small wooden stick in Darian’s hand—a symbol of leadership, authority, and power. The battle for command had begun. A heavy silence blanketed the arena. Twenty-five pairs of eyes locked onto the stick, each candidate sizing up their chances. Most dismissed Darian as a threat in this group fight, despite his reputation in one-on-one combat. They underestimated him—and they were wrong. Lyra, a muscular woman with arms like steel cables, leaned toward Jax, a tall man whose sharp gaze betrayed his confidence. “We attack together,” she whispered. “He can’t possibly fend off all of us at once.” Jax nodded in agreement. Together, they formed an imposing duo—two of the strongest candidates after Arvid. Their combined strength made them feel invincible. On the other side of the arena, a smaller, more agile group—including Briana and Rina—huddled quietly. They knew brute force wasn’t their advantage. Instead, they devised a strategy built on speed and cunning. Rat

The candidates stood ready, their spirits burning with determination, bracing themselves for challenges that would push them to the very edge of their capabilities. The days that followed at the basecamp felt like an inferno—not just any selection process, but a grueling series of physical and mental tests meticulously designed to sift out only the strongest from the strong. Each test was crafted not merely to challenge but to crush—to break spirits and force candidates into submission.The physical trials included cross-country runs spanning tens of kilometers through treacherous terrain, extreme weight training until exhaustion claimed every ounce of strength, and brutal simulated combat against seasoned instructors who showed no mercy. But it was the mental trials that cut dmost profoundisolation, sleep deprivation, intense interrogations, and high-pressure simulations meant to shatter even the sturdiest minds. Every day, five or so people fell by the wayside. Not always becaus

The swimming pool served as a sanctuary for cardio workouts and muscle recovery, while the tennis courts became a battleground for sharpening coordination and agility.Nestled near the pool was a recovery area equipped with a sauna, steam room, and massage chambers—a haven designed to soothe weary bodies after grueling training sessions and prevent injuries before they could take root.On the top floor, a tranquil therapy room offered solace and calm, where warriors could sit down with psychologists or mental coaches to fortify their resilience.This basecamp wasn't just a place of physical preparation; it was a home, meticulously crafted to nurture both body and mind. It was more than a training ground—a refuge, a testament to care and commitment.The crisp mountain air bit at exposed skin, yet an unyielding fire burned brightly across the sprawling field before the base camp.One hundred candidates for the special forces stood rigid in formation, their black uniforms stark against t

This oil also serves as a solvent in the process of pill-making.Darian nodded slowly, absorbing the information Kai presented through vivid mental visualization. He instantly had a clear picture of the locations he needed to visit and the materials he had to gather.“Excellent, Kai. I want you to direct Alex, Thomas, and Arvid to search for these materials. Each person should handle specific items based on their expertise.”'Understood, Master Darian. I will coordinate this mission efficiently. I will send them the location data and instructions.'Kai transmitted the data

Darian paused, taking a moment to collect his thoughts. His mind raced as he carefully chose his next words. "Now, we need to plan our next move. We need an elite force. Loyal soldiers, well-trained, and ready for whatever comes our way."Alex nodded, determination in his eyes. "I’ve already started contacting some contacts—former soldiers, mercenaries, a few martial artists we can trust."Thomas, always the pragmatic one, shifted the conversation. "I’ll handle logistics and funding. The Suryadi family fortune is more than enough to support this operation. We won’t lack resources."Arvid, whose methodical mind always spoke through structure, added, "I’ll focus on intelligence. We need to know every move the Emperor and the Metropolis Empire are making. Nothing can escape our attention."Darian’s lips curled into a small, appreciative smile as he looked at them, each showing a commitment that filled him with pride. "Good. You all show remarkable loyalty and capability. I’m proud to have

Darian drove his car that morning, and Dr. Anita sat beside him. The cool morning air felt on their skin.However, the mood changed when Dr. Anita whispered something seductive into Darian’s ear, her voice soft yet passionate. “I want to feel you again, Darian,” she whispered, her breath warm against his ear.Darian turned his head, his eyes meeting Dr. Anita’s passionate gaze. Instantly, desire burned between them.Without a word, Darian turned the car towards a luxury hotel. They walked into the elegant hotel room, and quickly, their clothes fell off, discarded on the floor. Their bodies are touching, skin meeting skin, and the irresistible desire peaks.Darian's hands explored Dr. Anita’s curves, his touch gentle yet passionate. Dr. Anita embraced Darian, returning his touch with passion.Their kiss was hot and wild, their tongues intertwined, exploring every corner of each other's mouths.
