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

    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!

    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

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,

    "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

Through the doorway, he could see Mike Johnson sprawled on the floor, blood trickling from his nose while Henry Johnson cowered in the corner.The ten elite soldiers Jack had assigned stood at attention around Lisa's bed, their faces impassive as they followed their orders to the letter—protect Lisa, and only Lisa.Black Viper, a lean man with snake-like movements, circled Mike like a predator toying with wounded prey. His leather jacket creaked as he crouched down."Look at you," Black Viper sneered, prodding Mike with his boot. "Squirming around like a worm in the dirt. Where's that big mouth now, huh?"Some lessons need to be learned the hard way, Jack thought, observing from the doorway.Henry stumbled forward, hands raised pleadingly.

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.
