The air inside the private room of East Wind Building was so tense, it could have snapped. Jack Sullivan sat calmly, his face unreadable, while Max Carter still fumed at the blatant disrespect they had just witnessed.

This is exactly what they wanted—to see us lose control, Jack thought, maintaining his composure despite the churning anger beneath.

Across the table, Dennis Chase leaned back arrogantly, a smug grin plastered on his face.

"You think this is your territory, Max?" Dennis sneered, swirling the wine in his glass lazily. "News flash—you and your pathetic friend are nothing but fossils here."

Max slammed his hand on the table, the loud thud making everyone jump. "Shut the hell up, Dennis! You're bullying Jack in our hometown? You think you can walk all over us?"

Jack remained calm, almost eerily so, but inside, a slow storm was building. Dennis Chase... just another petty mouthpiece for people who think their power is permanent. They never learn that nothing lasts forever—esp

    An uncomfortable silence settled over the table. The air was thick with tension as everyone exchanged sidelong glances, their expressions a mixture of pity and secondhand embarrassment for Jack's seemingly impossible promise.Dennis's mocking laughter broke the silence. "You? Buy the herbs market?" He shook his head dramatically, looking around the table for support. "Sullivan here is delusional. His family empire is crumbling, and he thinks he can pull out a hundred million?"Max's jaw tightened. "Jack doesn't make promises he can't keep.""Oh?" Dennis leaned forward, his eyes glinting with malice. "I'm so confident you're bluffing that I'll make you a promise, Sullivan." He placed his right hand on the table, spreading his fingers. "If you can actually produce that kind of money tonight, I'll cut off my pinky finger right here."Ruby gasped. "That's—""Accepted," Jack said calmly.They all think I'm finished, Jack thought, watching the expressions around the table. Even Ruby doesn't

    "Now," Jack said quietly, his voice carrying effortlessly across the table. "A promise is a promise, Dennis."Dennis's arrogant facade crumbled completely. His eyes darted frantically around the room, searching for allies, finding none."Come on, Sullivan," he stammered, forcing a nervous laugh. "It was just a figure of speech. Nobody actually—""I believe your exact words were," Jack interrupted, his voice deadly calm, "'I'll cut off my pinky finger right here.' Did I misunderstand something?"Dennis pushed his chair back, standing abruptly. "This is ridiculous! You can't possibly expect me to—""Sit. Down." Jack's command sliced through the air like a blade.He never thought he'd have to pay up, Jack thought, watching the color drain from Dennis's face. People like him always expect to escape the consequences of their words.Dennis reluctantly sank back into his chair, his breathing shallow and rapid. "Look, I'm with the Shaw Group. Daniel Tian himself is my mentor. You can't just—"

    The Shaw Group's executive suite gleamed under cold fluorescent lights as Dennis Chase, hand heavily bandaged, stood trembling before two imposing figures seated at the mahogany conference table."He cut off your finger?" Daniel Tian's voice was deceptively calm, but his knuckles whitened as he gripped his armrest.Dennis nodded miserably. "Yes, sir. With a blunt knife. Right there in front of everyone."Richard Shaw, the elder of the two, leaned forward. "And you said he purchased the herbs market? For a hundred million?""Called in five transfers from powerful business associates," Dennis mumbled. "Money appeared in minutes."Daniel suddenly slammed his fist against the table, making Dennis flinch. "First the One-Eyed Wolf's son, now this! Sullivan thinks he can challenge me?""This is a direct insult to our authority," Richard said, his voice cold and measured. "No one mutilates our people and walks away."This is the end of my career, Dennis thought, watching panic and fury dance

    The morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the Sullivan mansion's dining room, casting long shadows across the antique furniture. Jack sat with his parents and Lisa, his wife, enjoying a breakfast that felt almost surreal after his long absence.Wendy couldn't stop smiling as she watched her son eat. Every few minutes, she'd reach out to touch his arm, as if confirming he was truly there, truly healed."I still can't believe it," she said, her voice full of wonder. "All these years, the doctors were so certain..."George nodded solemnly. "They said the damage was permanent. That you'd never fully recover your cognitive functions."Jack set down his coffee cup. "Medicine isn't always an exact science. Sometimes, things happen that can't be explained."Or things that I'm not ready to explain yet, he thought, remembering the experimental treatment he'd undergone in Carson City."Well, whatever happened," Wendy continued, "this changes everything for our family."Lisa watch

    The Sullivan mansion dining room glowed with warm light from the crystal chandelier overhead. Servants moved silently, bringing course after course of exquisite dishes. Jack sat at the head of the table, his father having insisted on giving him the honored position tonight.Lisa observed the scene with new eyes. The elegant silverware, the deferential staff, the museum-quality paintings adorning the walls—all symbols of a legacy she hadn't fully comprehended until now."More wine, Mrs. Sullivan?" asked an elderly butler, bowing slightly as he approached her."Yes, thank you," Lisa replied, still unaccustomed to the formality.I married into this family thinking I was doing Jack a favor, she thought, watching her husband engage confidently with his parents. How wrong I was.Wendy noticed Lisa's contemplative expression. "Is everything alright, dear? You've barely touched your food.""I'm fine," Lisa assured her. "Just... taking it all in."Jack reached over, covering her hand with his.

    "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." Jack sang softly, wiping the glass door with circular motions. His childlike voice carried through the house as he worked, a gentle smile playing on his face. "How I wonder what you are..."His mother-in-law had asked him to clean the doors, and he took to the task with innocent enthusiasm. The cloth moved in uneven patterns as he continued his lullaby, lost in his own world.Jack, a son-in-law of the Johnson family, was once the commander of the Iron Wolf Battalion. But during war, he was attacked by the enemies, and he lost his memory, and now he was a mentally retarded useless son-in-law of the Johnson family."Up above the world so high..." he hummed, swaying slightly. "Like a diamond in the sky..."The front door slammed open, making Jack jump. Mike Johnson stormed in, his work boots leaving muddy tracks on the freshly mopped floor."Hey! You!" Mike barked, dropping heavily into a chair. "Get me some water. Need to wash my feet."Jack tur

    The morning sunlight filled the halls of Havenwood as Matilda rushed through the entrance, her heart pounding in her chest."Commander!" she called out, her voice breaking with emotion at the sight of Jack standing by the window. "You're really alive!"Jack turned, his posture straight and confident – a stark contrast to the broken man he'd been a year ago. "As you can see, Matilda, I've recovered in more ways than one.""Commander, I..." Matilda composed herself, though tears threatened to fall. "When we received word of your return, I came immediately.""After all this time, you still maintain your loyalty," Jack observed, studying her carefully."Always, Commander." Matilda's voice carried absolute conviction despite her emotional state. "No matter my position now, nothing has changed."Jack's expression darkened as he moved to his desk. "Then you know about Kyle. About what happened when I was... not myself.""Yes, Commander." Matilda's voice softened. "The incident with Ale

    The room fell silent, the audacity of Alex’s words shocking even the Carter family’s closest allies. Jack leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his piercing gaze never leaving Alex."You’re proud of killing an innocent man?" Jack asked quietly.Alex shrugged. "Proud? No. Amused? Definitely. He was stupid enough to get in my way."Jack stood, his movement measured but filled with purpose. The room seemed to shrink as his presence loomed larger. "A year ago, I was broken," he said, his voice low but powerful. "I couldn’t protect Kyle, couldn’t fight back, couldn’t even defend myself against scum like you."Alex smirked. "And now what? You think dragging a coffin into my father’s party makes you a threat? You’re still just a joke, Sullivan."Jack took a step closer, his gaze locked on Alex. "This isn’t just a coffin, Alex," he said. "It’s a declaration. For every injustice, there’s a reckoning. And tonight, it’s your son turn."The room held its collective breath as Jack

    The evening breeze carried a crisp chill as Jack Sullivan led Ruby through the grand entrance of East Wind Building, Eastridge City's most prestigious restaurant. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead, and the polished marble floors gleamed under their steps.Ruby looked around nervously. "Jack, this place… it's too grand. I don't belong here."Jack squeezed her hand gently. "You belong wherever you want to be, Ruby. You saved my life once. Tonight, you stand beside me."They moved toward a private room where lively voices and laughter spilled into the hallway.Inside, a group of well-dressed young men sat around a massive round table. When Jack entered, a loud voice boomed."Jack Sullivan! You bastard, you’re finally back!" Max Carter, Jack’s childhood friend, stood up and strode over, grabbing Jack into a tight hug.Jack smiled faintly, clapping Max on the back. "It's been too long, Max."Max pulled back, eyes gleaming. "When we heard you had an accident and went crazy, we thought

    Late at night, One-Eyed Fox paced nervously in his private office, his fingers trembling as he dialed a special number.After several rings, a deep, commanding voice answered. "Yes?""Boss, it's me—Fox," he spoke quickly, voice shaking. "We’ve got a serious problem."On the other end, Daniel Tian, Eastridge City's most powerful figure, paused calmly. He sat at an elegantly set dining table, a distinguished guest seated opposite him, quietly sipping red wine.Daniel’s voice was indifferent, mildly annoyed at the interruption. "I’m busy, Fox. What’s so urgent?"Fox swallowed hard, anxiety clear in his tone. "It's Jack Sullivan—the eldest son of the Sullivan family. He killed my son, openly insulted me. This isn't something we can ignore."Daniel sighed, tapping a finger on his glass thoughtfully. "Fox, do you really expect me to drop everything because some spoiled Sullivan brat upset you?"Fox hesitated, embarrassment mingling with desperation. "But boss, he openly challenged us! He ev

    The atmosphere inside Wolf’s Den grew tense again as heavy footsteps echoed through the doorway. Jack turned slowly, his calm demeanor unshaken, while Ruby instinctively stepped closer to him.One-Eyed Fox stood framed in the doorway, holding a black pistol aimed steadily at Jack's head. His one good eye blazed with hatred and fury."You thought I’d just walk away?" One-Eyed Fox snarled. "You killed my son. I can’t let you walk out of here alive!"Jack regarded him calmly, unfazed by the weapon. "You’re sure about this? Killing me isn’t something you can just walk away from."One-Eyed Fox laughed bitterly. "You think your empty threats scare me? No one mocks me and lives. Not even you."As tension filled the room, Ruby suddenly stepped forward, desperate to defuse the situation. "Wait! Do you know who he is?"One-Eyed Fox’s eye narrowed suspiciously. "Who?"Ruby took a deep breath, her voice clear and firm. "He's Jack Sullivan—the eldest son of the Sullivan Family. The Sullivan family
