2025-01-12 18:53:33The atmosphere in the Carter estate turned colder as Jack Sullivan stepped forward, his presence unnerving even the most confident of the Carter family’s allies.
Surrounded by the guards, and still a smirk on his lips.
In his hand was a tablet, the screen illuminated with damning evidence.
The guests, drawn by the tension, leaned in to catch every word.
"You think your money can cover up everything, Alex?" Jack said, his tone steady and menacing.
"Think again."
Alex smirked, folding his arms.
"And what’s this? Some fancy tech trick to scare me? Please, Sullivan. You’re a broken man trying to play hero."
Jack tapped the screen, and a video began to play.
It showed Alex’s Maserati, speeding recklessly through Havenwood’s streets, the timestamp clearly marking the day Kyle was killed.
Another clip followed—security footage of Alex laughing in a bar just hours after the accident, bragging about how "some idiot jumped in front of his car."
The guests gasped, their murmurs growing louder.
"So what?" Alex said, his voice dripping with arrogance.
"You think this changes anything? I told you already—it was his fault for being in my way. I paid for the damages, didn’t I?"
Jack’s gaze hardened.
"You paid to silence the law. But you can’t silence justice."
Alex stepped closer, a mocking grin plastered on his face.
"Justice? You? Don’t make me laugh. You’re nothing but a washed-up lunatic playing soldier. Do you even remember the lullabies you used to sing while scrubbing floors? Maybe you should wear a frock and dance for us. That’s what suits you."
The crowd erupted in uneasy laughter, their discomfort evident but masked by Alex’s bravado.
Jack didn’t flinch. He let the laughter die down before speaking.
"You’re proud of this, aren’t you?" he said quietly.
"Killing a man and mocking his memory?"
Alex’s grin widened.
"Why wouldn’t I be? That dog of yours had it coming. And as for you—" he jabbed a finger at Jack— "you’ll always be the town fool. So why don’t you crawl back to whatever hole you came from and leave the real men to enjoy the party?"
The tension in the room was suffocating, every eye on Jack.
Without a word, Jack moved.
In one swift motion, his hand lashed out, the glint of a blade catching the light.
A sharp, wet gurgle followed as Alex staggered back, clutching his throat, blood spilling between his fingers.
The room froze in collective shock.
Alex collapsed to the floor, his eyes wide with disbelief as life drained from his body.
Gasps and screams echoed through the hall, the once-lively party descending into chaos.
Charles Carter, stunned, stared at his son’s lifeless body before his gaze snapped to Jack. "
You... you’ll pay for this!" he roared. "Guards! Kill him!"
The guards moved to act, but before they could take a step, Matilda tossed a small device onto the floor.
A deafening bang followed, accompanied by a blinding flash of light.
The concussion bomb left everyone in the room disoriented, clutching their ears or shielding their eyes.
As the dust settled, Jack stood tall, his expression calm and unyielding.
Matilda stood at his side, her posture firm, her presence exuding authority.
"You’ve been living on borrowed time, Charles," Jack said, his voice cutting through the chaos.
"The Iron Wolf Battalion’s commander isn’t the broken man you once mocked. He’s back—and he’s coming for everything you hold."
Charles, still reeling from the shock, could only stare as Jack turned and walked toward the door, Matilda following close behind.
Before leaving, Jack paused at the threshold, glancing back at the blood-stained room.
"This was justice for Kyle," he said, his voice low but firm.
"And next your head would be there, if you cross my path."

The Johnson family’s dining room buzzed with chatter as guests enjoyed their lavish dinner. The clinking of glasses and soft laughter filled the air—until the front door opened, and Jack Sullivan walked in. The room fell silent as everyone turned to see him.Jack’s wife, Lisa, stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock. "Jack?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "You’re… you’re standing. And you …you ..look different."Jack’s gaze softened as he looked at her. "Yes,It’s me, Lisa. I’ve come back."Lisa hurried to his side, gripping his arm as if to confirm he was real. "How is this possible? You were… I mean, you were—""Mentally ill?" Jack said quietly, finishing her sentence. "Not anymore. I remember everything now."Before Lisa could respond, Mike Johnson’s grating voice cut through the moment. "Well, well, look who thinks he’s a big man now," he sneered, rising from his chair. "You came alive again from hospital, Jack?”“Yes Come to mop the floors or sing us another lullaby?

The chaos in the Johnson household was palpable. Brian Howard clutched his bleeding hand, screaming in agony. "You’ll regret this!" he howled, his face contorted in pain. "Do you have any idea who my brother is? He’ll destroy you!"Jack Sullivan, sitting calmly at the dining table, lifted a spoonful of soup to his lips and sipped. His expression was serene, as if the pandemonium around him didn’t exist. The rest of the Johnson family darted around in a panic, some trying to help Brian, others shooting terrified glances at Jack."Call Eric! Call him now!" Brian shouted, his voice cracking.Lisa’s mother, pale as a ghost, whispered, "Jack… what have you done? Do you know who Eric Howard is?"Jack didn’t look up from his soup. "I know exactly who he is."Brian, shaking with fury, pulled out his phone and dialed. "Eric! It’s me!" he cried. "Get over here now! Bring the guards, bring everything! This lunatic just cut off my finger!"The Johnson family gasped in unison. Lisa stepped clo

The dining room was filled with a tense silence after Lisa’s mother’s outburst. Jack sat quietly, his spoon hovering above his bowl of soup. Then, with deliberate calm, he placed it down and stood."Fine," Jack said, his voice steady and cold. "If you want a divorce, I’ll grant it."The room erupted."What?!" Henry Johnson, Lisa’s father, shot to his feet. "Jack, let’s not be hasty here!"Lisa’s mother, still fuming, pointed at Jack. "It’s about time! You’ve brought nothing but trouble to this family!"Lisa, standing in the corner, looked at Jack, her eyes wide. "You… you agree to the divorce?" she asked softly, her voice a mix of surprise and guilt.Jack turned to her, his expression unreadable. Yes," he said simply. "It’s clear that this marriage has run its course."Henry’s face twisted in panic. "Now hold on, Jack! Let’s think this through. You and Lisa can work things out. There’s no need to rush into—"Jack cut him off, his voice firm. "Henry, this isn’t up for discussio

Charles Carter paced in his dimly lit study, his face contorted with rage as he gripped the edge of his mahogany desk. The death of his son Alex had left him sleepless for days, his mind consumed by thoughts of revenge."Find him!" Charles slammed his fist on the desk, making his security chief flinch. "I want Jack Sullivan's head on a platter. He made a grave mistake thinking he could kill my son and walk away.""Sir, we've located him," the security chief reported, his voice steady despite his nervousness. "He's been spotted near Luster Lake, seemingly alone."A cruel smile spread across Charles's face. "Perfect. Send our best men. And make sure they understand—anyone who helps him, anyone connected to him, especially those worthless Johnsons who harbored him, they all pay the price.""Consider it done, Mr. Carter."Meanwhile, at Luster Lake, Jack sat in perfect stillness, his eyes closed in deep meditation. The pre-dawn air was crisp, and a light mist hung over the water's sur

"Commander Sullivan," she announced, her voice carrying across the assembled troops. "The Pro Guard awaits your orders."Jack surveyed his elite force with satisfaction. "At ease, soldiers. Matilda, report.""Sir, we've secured the perimeter and established a base camp in the mountains outside Northfield. The civilians won't even know we're here."Emma Brooks stood beside Jack, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Jack... who are you really?" she whispered.He gave her a slight smile but didn't answer, instead turning to Matilda. "The villa?""Prepared as requested, sir. Top of Northfield Heights, overlooking the bay. Only two properties up there – yours and Alexandra Fielding's.""The Fieldings?" Emma interjected. "They practically own the state capital!""Move out," Jack commanded the troops. They dispersed with practiced efficiency, vanishing into the mountain paths as if they'd never been there.As Emma was led away, she looked back at Jack, who still stood calmly by the lake, the

Jack Sullivan stepped out of his car, as he walked toward the Civil Affairs Office. The day was supposed to mark the official end of his marriage to Lisa Johnson, and while he felt no regret, there was a faint sense of hesitation in his heart.The office was quiet, its sterile atmosphere punctuated by the occasional shuffle of papers. Jack glanced at his watch and frowned. Lisa was late. Not typical of her, even under strained circumstances.He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. The line rang twice before it clicked. A gruff voice, not Lisa’s, answered."Well, well," the voice drawled. "If it isn’t Jack Sullivan."Jack’s grip on the phone tightened, his voice icy. "Who is this? Where’s Lisa?"The man chuckled, a low, menacing sound. "Let’s just say Lisa’s tied up at the moment. If you want her back, you’ll come to the Johnson family house. Alone."Before Jack could respond, the line went dead.Jack arrived at the Johnson family house within minutes, his body taut with t
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 11- " A LEG FOR LEG"
The dim glow of hospital lights illuminated the emergency ward as Jack Sullivan carried Lisa Johnson into the hospital, her blood soaking through his hands. Behind him, the Johnson family followed in stunned silence, their faces pale and etched with guilt."Help! We need a doctor!" Jack’s commanding voice broke through the quiet hum of the ward, snapping the medical staff into action.Two nurses rushed forward with a stretcher, quickly taking Lisa from Jack’s arms. One of them, Anna Young, recognized him immediately."Jack? What happened?" Anna asked, her eyes wide as she assessed Lisa’s injuries."She took a bullet meant for me," Jack replied, his voice low but steady. "She needs immediate surgery."Anna nodded, gesturing to the team. "Get her to the OR, stat! I’ll stay updated on her condition, Jack. Don’t worry."Jack sat in the cold, sterile waiting room, his bloodied hands resting on his knees. The Johnson family sat a few chairs away, their unease palpable. Lisa’s mother,
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 12- "CONFESSION"
The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the monitor. Lisa Johnson stirred, her eyelids fluttering open as she winced in pain. The stark whiteness of the room greeted her, along with the heavy weight on her shoulder. Her vision adjusted, and she saw Jack sitting by her bedside, his posture relaxed but his eyes shadowed with concern."Jack…" Lisa’s voice was weak but steady.Jack leaned forward, his expression softening. "You’re awake. How are you feeling?"Lisa managed a faint smile, though her eyes glistened with guilt. "Like I’ve been run over. But I’m alive. Thanks to you."Jack shook his head, his tone firm. "You’re alive because of your own courage, Lisa. You jumped in front of a bullet for me."Tears welled up in Lisa’s eyes. "I promised your parents, Jack. I swore I’d protect you. And look at me… I couldn’t even do that properly."Jack reached out, gently placing a hand over hers. "You kept your promise more than anyone ever could. You put yourself o

James Leonard’s eyes narrowed, his body tense like a coiled spring.“You’ve made it this far, Sullivan,” he muttered, “but you won’t leave this mountain alive.”Jack rolled his shoulders, voice calm as ever. “Big words from a man who just fed his own ally to a scorpion.”With a roar, James lunged, his fists blurring with speed. The first punch hit Jack square in the chest—followed by three more in rapid succession.THUD. THUD. THUD.Jack didn’t even flinch.James froze mid-strike. “What…?”Jack looked down at his chest, brushed some dust from his coat. “You done?”James stepped back in disbelief. Those hits could crush concrete… but he didn’t even stagger.Is he human?Jack smirked. “Iron Body Technique. Guess your master didn’t teach you that.”James growled and went in again, this time throwing everything—knees, elbows, fists, spinning kicks. The ground cracked beneath him, and shockwaves rippled out.Still, Jack barely moved.Then came Jack’s turn.He stepped in, faster than lightn
CHAPTER 138
“I’m not here for The Ghost,” James Leonard said coldly. “Frankly, I didn’t like him much. Arrogant, sloppy… too obsessed with making a name.”Jack raised an eyebrow. “Then why come for me?”James cracked his neck. “Because he was still my master’s student. Victor Yates trained him. His death reflects on the Yates lineage.”He took another step closer, killing intent radiating off him like heat.“I’m not here to mourn a brother. I’m here to defend my master’s honor. And that means killing you, Jack Sullivan.”Ron Taylor’s throat bobbed. He really means to fight Jack… this is bad.Behind them, the Emperor Scorpion loomed, its stinger dripping, poised over Uncle Frank, who was barely holding on.“J-James…” Frank rasped, coughing blood. “Help… me…”James turned to him slowly, lips curling into something cruel.“You? Help you?” He chuckled, then raised his leg.Before anyone could react—BAM!James kicked Uncle Frank like trash, launching him straight toward the scorpion’s gaping pincers.
CHAPTER 137
A deep hiss echoed from the cave’s maw, darker and heavier than before.Then it appeared.An Emperor Scorpion.Jet-black, armored like obsidian, the monstrous creature scuttled out from the darkness. Its pincers were thick as tree trunks, and its tail arched high—dripping with venom that shimmered like green fire.Uncle Frank tried to rise.Too late.CRACK!The Emperor’s stinger struck him dead center in the chest."AAAAHHH!" Uncle Frank screamed—his first scream in decades.Charlotte’s face turned ghost-white. “Uncle Frank!”Blood spilled from his mouth as his body convulsed, thrown backward like a ragdoll. The entire battlefield froze—everyone had heard of the Emperor, but few had ever seen it. And no one expected that sound from a man like Frank.“Help… Master… James…” Uncle Frank rasped.That name rang like a thunderclap.From the group of supposed bodyguards, one man stepped forward.He was tall, sharp-eyed, and dressed plainly, blending in with the security team—until now.In a

The air turned heavy.A low, grinding rumble echoed from deep inside Nine Scorpion Cave.BOOM.A sharp vibration ran through the ground. Pebbles trembled. The trees swayed unnaturally.Jack Sullivan turned his head slowly toward the cave entrance.“They’re awake,” he said simply.Nie Mitchell’s face drained of color. “T-That sound… I’ve heard it before.” He staggered back a step. “Oh no… the nest is disturbed. They’re coming!”Before anyone could react, Charlotte Shaw snapped her fingers.“Uncle Frank!” she barked. “Take the vanguard. Clear it before they spread!”Uncle Frank nodded. “Yes, Miss!”He gathered a dozen armored men and dashed forward, spear in hand, moving like a man half his age.Ashley stepped closer to Jack. “What’s inside that cave?”“Poison,” Jack said. “And stupidity.”She blinked. “What?”Jack exhaled. “You’ll see.”From the mouth of the cave came a horrifying sound—a clicking, hissing flood of chaos.And then they appeared.Over 300 venomous scorpions, each rangin

Ron Taylor’s sharp eyes narrowed as he turned toward Charlotte Shaw. The smile had faded from his face.“You knew who he was, didn’t you?” he asked quietly.Charlotte kept her expression cool. “I didn’t think it was relevant.”“Not relevant?” Ron’s voice was calm, but heavy. “You let your little drama nearly spark a war between Westlake and Carson… over ego?”Charlotte’s jaw clenched. Why is Jack always protected? Always walking out clean, no matter what he does?Meanwhile, Megan Young stood frozen in place, the blood draining from her face. She suddenly looked like she wanted to disappear into her designer boots. Her lips trembled as she approached Jack cautiously, head slightly bowed.“Mr. Sullivan… I… I’m so sorry for earlier,” she stammered. “I didn’t know who you were… I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful—”Jack looked at her like she was a speck of lint on his sleeve.“You weren’t trying to be disrespectful,” he repeated, expression unreadable. “But you were born that way?”Megan
CHAPTER 134
The atmosphere near Nine Scorpion Cave crackled with tension. A dozen powerful figures had gathered—Jack Sullivan, standing casually at the front; Harold Quinn, head of the influential Quinn family from Westlake City; and beside him, his son Brian Quinn, still nursing bruised ego from earlier. Towering beside them, silent but imposing, stood Ron Taylor, the elusive leader of Pine Ridge.The air was thick with authority… until Brian exploded.“You think you can keep embarrassing me?!” Brian suddenly shouted, red-faced. “I don’t care who you are, Jack! I’ll shut that smug mouth of yours myself!”Here we go again, Jack thought, barely stifling a sigh.Brian lunged.Ron Taylor’s brows lifted. “Oh?”Harold Quinn stepped forward quickly. “Apologies, Mr. Taylor. My son’s just... passionate. Reckless, but passionate.”Ron chuckled. “Let the boy swing. Young men need to learn somehow.”Jack didn’t even move as Brian charged. One second, Brian was mid-air. The next—CRACK!Jack’s leg shot forwa

Uncle Frank stepped forward, his cane digging into the rocky ground, voice gravelly but forceful.“Young man,” he said, narrowing his eyes at Jack. “This area is under the Shaw family’s authority. I suggest you leave before you offend someone you can’t afford to cross.”Jack didn’t even stop walking. He turned his head slightly, eyes calm. “Oh? The Shaw family? You mean the same Shaw family whose patriarch, Richard Shaw, toasts to my health every time we meet?”Charlotte froze.Uncle Frank blinked. “You—you know Mr. Richard personally?”Jack raised a brow. “I had dinner with him last month. He called me kiddo. So unless you’re secretly his long-lost twin with better knees, I’d suggest you stay in your lane, Frank.”Gasps rippled through the small crowd. Ashley tried not to laugh.Charlotte looked away, cheeks twitching. Damn it. I forgot he still has ties to my grandfather...Before Frank could respond, the sound of an engine roared in the distance.A custom black SUV screeched to a s

Jack Sullivan walked with steady steps, his hands in his coat pockets, as though he were headed to a casual brunch instead of a notorious death cave.Nie Mitchell trudged behind him, glancing nervously at the muddy footprints along the path. “Sir, uh… those tracks… someone’s already ahead of us. A lot of people. Probably armed. Maybe dangerous.”Jack didn’t break stride. “So?”“So… maybe we should slow down? I mean, this place has a reputation. Nine Scorpion Cave isn’t called that for the landscaping.”Jack smirked. “Relax. If we run into trouble, I’ll use you as bait.”Nie nearly tripped. “W-what?!”“Calm down,” Jack said lazily. “You’d die too fast to make good bait anyway.”Ashley, walking a few steps behind them, frowned. She hadn’t exactly planned on coming this far, but something about Jack’s calm, unbothered attitude made it hard to turn back.Better than staying with that discount peacock Brian and his giggling fan club, she thought. Besides… there’s something different about
CHAPTER 131
As Jack approached the stalled tourist bus, Ashley turned to her classmates with a bright smile.“That’s my brother-in-law,” she said proudly.Jack gave her a small nod. “Hope you’ve been behaving, Ash.”Brian, still rubbing his cheek from earlier, scoffed loudly. “Brother-in-law? That’s what we’re calling him now? Doesn’t look like family. Looks like the guy who sleeps behind gas stations.”Jack turned to him slowly. “Still talking? I thought we fixed that.”The students chuckled, and Brian’s ears turned red. His chest puffed up like a blowfish.“I don’t know who you think you are,” Brian snapped, “but this area ahead? It’s blocked. Government access only. No one goes through without permission.”Jack didn’t even blink. He turned and kept walking, motioning to Matthew. “Let’s go.”Matthew gave Brian a half-smile as he limped after Jack. “Thanks for the weather report.”Brian's face twisted in disbelief. “Hey! Did you not hear me? You’re trespassing!”Jack lifted a hand as he walked.
