"Drag him to jail!"The words echoed through the boutique, silencing everyone.Mateo, who had been smug just moments ago, suddenly turned pale.His confidence wavered as two officers approached him, their grips firm on his arms.“W-Wait! You can’t do this!”Mateo struggled, his voice rising in panic.“I didn’t do anything!”Sylas tilted his head slightly, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.“Oh? So now you know how it feels to be accused of something you didn’t do?” He scoffed. “Karma works fast, doesn’t it?”Javier, who had remained calm throughout the ordeal, finally let out a soft chuckle.“Looks like the tables have turned, Mateo. Weren’t you the one insisting that an accusation is as good as a conviction?”Valeria folded her arms, her eyes narrowing.“You had a lot to say a few minutes ago. Where’s all that confidence now, Mateo?”The boutique manager, who had been standing awkwardly, finally spoke up, his voice hesitant.“M-Mr. Sylas, perhaps we should—”Sylas shot him a

Finally, the night of Valeria's birthday party took place.A grand, extravagant affair where the fate of the Solano Company’s presidency would be sealed.Valeria Solano stood tall in the centre of the magnificent hall, dressed in an elegant crimson gown that shimmered under the chandelier’s glow.Her nerves were well hidden beneath an impenetrable mask of confidence.Tonight, she needed the backing of the Rowen and Rodrigo families.Javier had assured her of their support, but doubt still clawed at her mind.Hudson Solano, her uncle, approached with his son, Marcellus, both donning smug expressions that made Valeria’s stomach churn.Their presence alone was enough to sour the taste of her celebratory champagne.“Well, well, where is the legendary Javier Everhart?”Hudson’s voice dripped with mockery.“One would think that on such an important night, your... lover,”he smirked, dragging out the word,“would be by your side. Or is he too busy scraping pennies to afford the cab fare?”Ma

Valeria couldn't believe what she saw at that time.Both of her hands clenched, holding back her annoyance.While Hudson and Marcellus beside her grinned triumphantly.Right in front of the magnificent entrance, someone stood there with two tall and muscular bodyguards.His presence gave off a very dominant and controlling aura.The guests presented, and their focus was immediately diverted to the figure.They seemed amazed, and admiring, but also afraid and submissive.Some of them, their mouths gaped in disbelief.He was Bryan Dormino.The ruler of the underworld. Dark, scary, and dangerous.A man with connections spanning from successful businessmen, and government officials, to authorities whose names were never recorded.Even the police bowed before him because of the absolute power he possessed.The Ruler of the Underworld.Fears. Respected.Valeria trembled at Bryan's presence.How could he be at her birthday party?However, the triumphant smiles on Hudson and Marcellus' faces
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 27
A thick silence blanketed the luxurious hall.Bryan Dormino’s words hung in the air, heavy and ominous."Let’s see who truly deserves the throne."The statement was casual, almost amused, but its weight crushed the atmosphere in an instant.Hudson’s triumphant grin widened as if he had already won.Marcellus stood beside him, arms crossed, watching Valeria like a predator waiting for its prey to crumble.Meanwhile, Valeria stood tall, her spine straight despite the rising storm inside her.Her hands were still clenched at her sides, but her expression remained eerily calm.“Interesting choice of words, Mr. Dormino,” Valeria finally said, her voice smooth. “But this isn’t a game of thrones. This is business.”Bryan smirked, his sharp blue eyes gleaming with amusement.“Business, war, power—aren’t they all the same thing in the end?”Hudson chuckled, clearly enjoying himself.“I must agree. That’s why I believe a leader should have connections. Influence. And, of course, powerful allies

Silence.The kind of silence that was deafening.All eyes were locked on Javier Everhart as he strode into the hall like he belonged there—like he owned the place.Valeria’s heart pounded.This wasn’t the man everyone mocked as a poor, bankrupt veterinarian.No, this was someone else entirely. Someone she didn’t recognise… and yet, at the same time, she did.His posture was relaxed, yet there was an undeniable air of authority around him.His dark eyes gleamed with amusement, but there was something sharper beneath them—something dangerous.Hudson was the first to recover from the shock.He let out a scoff, shaking his head in disbelief.“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Hudson muttered before laughing mockingly. “This? This is the great lover you’ve been bragging about, Valeria?”Marcellus sneered. “Took you long enough to crawl out of whatever gutter you were hiding in, Everhart. What happened? Did you get lost looking for free food?”Javier tilted his head, a smirk playing on his lips
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 29
Javier frowned. “What do you mean, ‘I’m the man he shouldn’t have underestimated’?” His voice was steady, but there was an undeniable edge to it.Valeria’s grandfather, Sebastian Solano, studied Javier for a long moment before sighing.“You don’t remember, do you?”Javier’s jaw tensed.“Remember what?”Sebastian chuckled softly, though there was something heavy in his expression.“It’s not surprising. You were just a child when it happened.”Valeria inhaled sharply.She knew what was coming.Hudson scoffed, regaining his confidence.“Oh, what is this nonsense now?” He rolled his eyes. “Are you about to tell us some long-forgotten fairy tale?”Sebastian’s gaze snapped to him, sharp and commanding.“Silence, Hudson.”Hudson stiffened, his mouth shutting instantly.Sebastian turned back to Javier, his voice calm but firm.“Your father and I were close friends, Javier. Very close.”Javier’s fingers twitched.His father?The memories were hazy at best, fragments of a past that felt out of

The sharp sound of a gunshot echoed through the grand hall, sending a wave of panic through the guests.Some gasped, others instinctively ducked, while a few guards rushed forward, weapons drawn.Javier, however, remained calm.With a steady gaze, he turned toward the entrance, where the shadowed figure stood.The air was thick with tension, but instead of fear, Javier’s expression was one of mild curiosity—as if this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.Valeria, standing beside him, clenched her fists.“What now?” she muttered under her breath, irritation lacing her tone.Hudson and Marcellus, on the other hand, looked startled, their faces paling as if they had just witnessed their worst nightmare.The figure stepped forward, revealing himself in the dim light.Luciano Perez.A known business rival of the Solano family—one who had long opposed Sebastian’s leadership.His dark eyes gleamed with malice as he held the gun up, pointing it not at Valeria… but at Javier.A calcula
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 31
Valeria barely had time to savour her victory before Hudson's words rang in her ears."Did you really think I wouldn’t have a backup plan?"The way he said it—smooth, confident, dangerous—sent a chill down her spine.The celebration had barely begun, but tension still lingered in the air.Guests whispered among themselves. Some congratulated Valeria, while others exchanged uncertain glances, wondering what Hudson’s next move would be.Javier stood beside Valeria, his expression unreadable. Calm. Unbothered.Yet, the way his gaze subtly followed Hudson and Marcellus showed that he was fully aware of the brewing storm.Bryan Dormino, now standing at Valeria’s side like a silent guardian, smirked. “Hudson, Hudson… Always so bitter when things don’t go your way.”Hudson, ever the graceful loser, merely chuckled. “Don’t get too comfortable, Valeria. Enjoy this moment while it lasts.”Valeria lifted her chin. “Oh, trust me, cousin. I plan to.”Marcellus, however, looked impatient.He turned

Hudson stepped forward, his boots striking the broken ground with a resonating thud, as if he were the harbinger of something far worse than even Lazarus' dark magic. His presence exuded power — unyielding and oppressive. Every inch of his being seemed like a force of nature, relentless and untouchable.Javier’s eyes flickered towards him, but there was no shift in his demeanor. The calm that surrounded him was like the stillness before a storm. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t even blink.Hudson’s voice was low and dangerous, a growl that echoed in the stillness of the chamber.“You’ve made your mistakes, Javier,” Hudson said, his lips curling into a cruel smile. “You think you can challenge me, the legacy of centuries? You’re nothing more than an illusion, a child playing at alchemy. Your power is a hollow shell.”Javier’s hand still rested in the air, his fingers twitching slightly as if ready to strike again, but he didn’t move. He didn’t need to.“I don’t play at anything,” Javier rep
CHAPTER 114
The titan tore itself from the last of the golden chains, its body surging with renewed, terrifying strength.Lazarus stood behind it, hands folded calmly behind his back, as if he had already won. His golden eyes never left Javier, gleaming with malicious amusement.Valeria gripped Javier’s sleeve tighter, feeling the heat of the battlefield rise. She could barely breathe, the pressure was so immense, but Javier… he didn’t flinch.He didn’t move.He simply stared.Silent.Calculating.Then, finally, he spoke — voice low and dangerous."You mistake survival for inheritance."The titan lunged, spear whistling through the air with monstrous force.Javier moved.One step.That was all.The spear missed entirely, embedding itself into the stone wall behind him with an ear-shattering crash. Before the titan could recover, Javier’s fingers flicked forward, almost lazily.A thin line of silver light cut through the darkness.The titan froze mid-motion.A crack, faint but unmistakable, split
CHAPTER 113
Javier moved at the last instant, evading the strike by mere inches. The shockwave flattened the nearby walls, sending debris spiraling into the blackness. Valeria covered her head, shielding herself from the raining stones.Javier stood unharmed in the eye of the storm.The titan turned its hollow, glowing gaze toward him again. Its massive hand wrenched the spear from the cracked earth and spun it with unnatural speed, wind howling around the weapon.A second strike came—faster, more brutal.Javier didn’t back down.Instead, he raised his right hand, fingers moving in intricate, ancient patterns midair. A low hum resonated from his palm, gathering into a thin golden sigil
CHAPTER 112
The world blurred into chaos.The floor swallowed them whole, but Javier landed cleanly, as if he had expected it all along. His boots hit the dark stone with a controlled thud. Around him, pieces of the collapsing building rained down, dust choking the stale air. Valeria stumbled nearby, coughing violently. Lucian and the others were nowhere to be seen—only distant screams and the grinding of stone echoed.Javier rose, dusting his coat casually.From the depths of the darkness, Subject Zero’s laughter slithered toward him."You fall into my home now, Everhart," the monster rasped, voice booming through the hollow underground. "Here, the rules change."Javier ignored the

CHAPTER 111
The room held its breath.Subject Zero stepped through the dust and chaos like a ghost given flesh. Seven feet tall, skin pale as wax, a twisted alchemical brand pulsing red-hot across his chest. His eyes—too human to be soulless, too inhuman to be sane—were locked on only one person.Javier Everhart.The guards raised their weapons. Lucian North scrambled back, nearly tripping over his own fear. Alric didn’t speak; he merely pressed his back against the farthest wall, trembling like a man watching a nightmare he once created walk again.“You,” Subject Zero rasped, voice deep and strange—as if several voices spoke through one mouth. “Everhart.”Javier didn’t move. His stance remained relaxed, one hand in his coat pocket. “I figured you’d come.”Subject Zero’s cracked lips curled into something like a grin. “They said you died. That the last of the alchemists was gone.”“They lied,” Javier said simply.Valeria grabbed his arm. “Javier—this thing—what is it?”He glanced at her. “A bypro
CHAPTER 110
“The Everhart bloodline should’ve been extinct.”Those words echoed through the sterile silence of the secret underground hall, the scent of dust and burning wires still lingering in the air. Javier stood before the council table, his expression unreadable. He had just dismantled half of Project Helix with nothing but strategy, silence, and the weight of his name.Across the room, Dr. Alric Mendez—head researcher of Project Helix—leaned forward, trying to mask the trembling in his hands with a condescending grin.“You’re clever, I’ll give you that,” Alric said, his voice gravelly. “But cleverness doesn't make you immortal, Everhart.”Javier didn’t respond. He didn’t need to. The moment his gaze
CHAPTER 109
News of Marcus Renshaw’s public humiliation had spread like wildfire through the business world, especially after footage of him being escorted out of the summit made its rounds online. Javier, as always, remained unbothered by the noise. He was already two steps ahead, focused on the deeper enemy—the consortium.Inside his private study, Javier reviewed encrypted files, eyes scanning faster than the average mind could comprehend. Alchemy wasn’t just about turning lead into gold. For Javier, a direct descendant of the ancient art, it was about transformation—of matter, of strategy, of power.Valeria entered the room without knocking, her presence calm but purposeful. "The contact from Zurich confirmed. The financial trail leads straight to Konstantin Sorel."Javier nodded slowly. "The head of Sorel Holdings. One of the consortium’s top financiers."Valeria crossed her arms. "You really think he’ll fall for the bait?""He won’t need to," Javier said, standing. "Because by the time he r
CHAPTER 108
Javier stood still, watching as Marcus Renshaw was escorted out by the security officers. His mind was already calculating the next step in his victory. Marcus might have been a nuisance, but Javier had anticipated every move. The tech world wasn’t kind to those who played dirty, and it was only a matter of time before Marcus’s arrogance caught up with him.Valeria’s voice broke through his thoughts. “You’ve already won, haven’t you?”Javier glanced at her, his expression composed, but something in his eyes softened when they met hers. “It’s not over yet, Valeria. Not by a long shot. Winning today was only a small part of a much larger picture.”Valeria gave him a questioning look, sensing there was more to the story than he let on. "What do you mean?"Javier’s lips curled slightly as he turned toward the exit, guiding her along with him. “The market may think Marcus is finished, but we both know this is just the beginning. There are more players involved — much bigger ones than Marcu
