Heather Reed’s screams echoed through the room as she was dragged toward the door. Her nails scraped against the floor, heels skidding as she desperately fought against her fate.

“Emma! Please!” she shrieked, her voice cracking with terror. “We’re best friends, right?! You have to help me!”

Emma Brooks, who had been watching boredly from her seat, finally stood up.

The room fell into silence.

Her sharp eyes swept over Big Tom, and her voice, calm but commanding, cut through the tension.

“Let her go.”

Big Tom arched an eyebrow, amused. “Oh? And why would I do that?”

Emma took a slow step forward, her presence suddenly much heavier than before.

“Because I’m Emma Brooks,” she said coldly. “Of the Brooks family.”

Nie Mitchell gasped loudly, as if he had just witnessed a miracle.

Kevin Steel’s jaw dropped.

Even Heather Reed, mid-sob, looked at Emma with wide, hopeful eyes.

Big Tom?

He blinked. Then he laughed.

A deep, mocking, belly-shaking laugh that sent a chill through the room.

“Oh, thi

I was blind.”Logan Lewis, still trying to process the magnitude of his mistake, quickly bowed his head as well.“…Mr. Sullivan,” Logan muttered, his throat dry, his hands clenching his knees.Neither of them dared to speak further.They

You went back in alone!”Jack sighed. “And yet, here I am.”Emma frowned, clearly unhappy with his nonchalant attitude, but before she could say more—A loud, disbelieving scoff echoed from behind them.Jack turned his head slightly, only to find Nie Mitchell gaping at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world.“Are you actually brain-dead?!” Nie’s voice was loud, his expression twisted with disb

    The pre-dawn mist clung to Crystal Lake like a silken shroud, broken only by Jack's measured footsteps as he approached the water's edge. At 3 AM, the world held a different kind of silence—expectant, ancient, perfect for cultivation.Time to see if my meridians have truly healed, Jack thought, settling into a cross-legged position by the shore. The smooth pebbles beneath him were still cool from the night air.He had just begun to regulate his breathing when the sound of footsteps interrupted his concentration. Two figures emerged from the mist—a young woman in expensive training clothes and an elderly man who moved with carefully controlled movements.Charlotte Shaw, Jack recognized his mountaintop neighbor. And that must be Richard Shaw, the legendary martial arts master."Excuse me," Charlotte's sharp voice cut through the morning stillness. "This area is occupied. You'll need to leave."Jack remained motionless, his eyes closed in meditation. The lake's surface rippled gently in t

    The morning sun had fully risen over Crystal Lake as Jack rose smoothly from his meditation pose. The air crackled with energy as he moved into a distinct stance."Watch carefully, Master Shaw," Jack said, his movements fluid yet precise. "This is Seven Battle Fist—the counter to Seven Injury Fist."Richard's eyes widened with recognition. The legendary healing technique... I thought it was lost forever.Jack's form flowed like water, each movement exact and purposeful. The morning light caught the subtle energy patterns forming around him, visible only to trained eyes."The first form cleanses the meridians," Jack explained, demonstrating. "The second rebuilds them. The third restores natural energy flow."Richard watched with tears forming in his eyes. "This... this is the technique I've searched for across continents. Every master I consulted said it was lost to time."Charlotte stood to the side, arms crossed. "Grandfather, surely you don't believe this display of—""Be quiet and

    Nie Mitchell sat at his table, swirling his wine glass, eyes narrowing at Jack Sullivan.He remembered clearly how Jack had humiliated him before—how he had acted like some hero at the restaurant, standing up to thugs as if he was invincible. But here? Here was his chance to turn the tables.Nie’s gaze flickered to Victoria Reed, Heather’s mother. She was still fuming over Jack’s indifferent attitude, ranting about how worthless he was.“This fool thinks he’s somebody just because he has a little money now,” she scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. “At the end of the day, he’s just an abandoned dog.”Nie smirked, leaning forward. Perfect.“You know, Auntie,” Nie said smoothly, “men like him? They get a little bit of cash and start thinking they’re kings. But in reality? He’s just a cockroach that got lucky.”Victoria laughed, nodding in agreement. “Exactly! He was nothing when he was with Lisa, and now he acts all high and mighty. I bet he still scrubs floors in secret.”Heather,

    Jack Sullivan sat in the Golden Crown Restaurant, sipping his tea as he waited for his food. The place was lively, filled with the chatter of diners and the clinking of utensils. He had chosen a quiet corner, uninterested in the world around him.However, fate had other plans.Just a few tables away, he spotted Heather Reed sitting with her mother, Victoria Reed, and a rich young man—Nie Mitchell.Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly. Nie Mitchell again? This guy really doesn’t know when to give up.Nie Mitchell’s family ran a massive seafood business, owning a fleet of ships. He had money, connections, and an arrogant attitude to match. Jack had encountered his kind too many times before—spoiled brats who thought wealth equaled power.Heather Reed sat stiffly, her expression unreadable. Jack noticed something odd—she wasn’t flirting or acting interested. Strange. She used to like him.His guess was correct.Heather was forced to attend this dinner by her mother. At first, she had been excit

    Jack Sullivan stood near the hospital room door, his expression unreadable. His sharp gaze lingered on Lisa Johnson for a moment longer than necessary before he finally spoke.“Take care of yourself,” he said, his tone indifferent.Lisa forced a small nod. “You too.”Jack hesitated briefly. “The class reunion… when is it?”Lisa blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Why does he care about that? She pushed her confusion aside and answered, “In two days. The old class monitor arranged a bus.”“I see.” Jack gave a slight nod. “I’ll go.”And just like that, he turned and walked away, his figure disappearing into the dimly lit hallway.Lisa stared at the door, her heart sinking. He didn’t even look back.The silence in the room felt suffocating. Lisa gripped the blanket tightly, her mind in turmoil.Jack had always been there, a silent shadow who tolerated every insult, every humiliation her family threw at him. She had been so sure he would always be that way—weak, obedient, easy to disca

  • CHAPTER 32 MERCY

    The hospital room fell silent as The Bull Mason's massive frame filled the doorway. His scarred face and expensive suit presented the perfect image of underworld authority. Behind him, six men in black suits lined the corridor.Finally, Black Viper thought, grinning through his bruises. Sullivan's about to learn what real power looks like."Now you'll see, Sullivan! Boss, this is the one who—"The Bull Mason's eyes locked onto Jack, who was calmly sipping water. The color drained from the enforcer's face.Like a pitbull realizing it's in a tiger's den, Jack thought, watching the transformation.Something's wrong, Lisa realized, noting The Bull Mason's sudden change in demeanor. I've never seen anyone look so terrified."M-Mr. Sullivan?" The Bull Mason's voice cracked as he dropped to his knees. "I had no idea... please forgive this intrusion."This can't be happening, Mike thought, his earlier cockiness evaporating. The Bull Mason kneeling? What kind of monster is Jack?Black Viper lo

  • CHAPTER 31- "True Power

    The hospital room buzzed with nervous energy as Mike Johnson crawled toward Jack, his face pale with terror. The fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows on the fallen gangsters still groaning on the floor.I’ve seen men on their knees before, Jack thought, but rarely do they shake so much. Then again, these fools have no idea what they’re dealing with."Brother, please!" Mike's voice cracked with desperation. "You have to apologize! The Bull Mason will kill us all!"Jack continued arranging flowers in Lisa's vase. "These lilies really complement the room, don't you think?"Nice and calm… Let them squirm. Sometimes the simplest things—like lilies—help keep me grounded.Black Viper, nursing a bruised jaw, barked out a laugh. "Five hundred grand, Sullivan! That's what you owe me for my men!""The water pressure in this building is excellent," Jack commented, filling another cup. "Very consistent."Typical. They think money solves everything. But fear is their true currency.Like watching pu

    Black Viper's face contorted with rage as he pointed at Jack. "Kill this arrogant bastard!"His men charged forward, their boots squeaking on the hospital floor. Jack raised a hand, signaling his hidden soldiers to stay back. Let's show them the difference between thugs and warriors.The first attacker swung a wild punch. Jack stepped aside with casual grace, redirecting the man's momentum into a wall. The second and third rushed him together—one wielding brass knuckles, the other a switchblade.Three seconds later, they joined their friend on the floor.The remaining gangsters hesitated, looking between their groaning companions and Jack's relaxed stance."Well?" Jack asked pleasantly. "Anyone else want to try?"They rushed him all at once. The next ten seconds were a symphony of precise violence—bodies flying, joints cracking, pained screams echoing off sterile walls. When the dust settled, Black Viper stood alone, surrounded by his moaning men.Jack calmly walked to the water dispe

    CHAPTER 24 - "The Wolf's Den"The hospital room's fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows as Mike Johnson crawled toward Jack, blood dripping from his split lip. The sterile air carried the metallic scent of fear and violence."Please, Brother Jack," Mike whimpered, clutching at Jack's pants leg. "I know I've been worthless... lower than a stray dog. But help me this once. I'll serve you faithfully, I swear!"Pathetic, Jack thought, observing Mike's display with cold detachment. Like a beaten cur begging for scraps.Black Viper twirled his knife, watching the scene with growing confusion. "This is new," he sneered. "Usually when I threaten to slice someone up, their family falls all over themselves to save them."Jack's voice carried no emotion: "Go ahead then. Cut him."The room fell silent except for Mike's shocked gasp. Even Lisa's monitors seemed to beep more quietly."What did you say?" Black Viper asked, genuine surprise coloring his tone."You heard me," Jack replied calmly. "If
