Jack folded his arms, unimpressed. “And what made you so sure I was a thief?”

Howard swallowed hard, his mind racing. What excuse could he even give?

Finally, he blurted out, "It was Nie! That bastard Nie Mitchell! He told me you broke in—he lied to me!"

Jack arched a brow. “Oh? And you were dumb enough to believe him?”

Howard broke out in a cold sweat.

“I—I swear, I’ll make it right! I—I won’t let him get away with this!”

Jack tilted his head. “Oh? And what exactly do you plan to do?”

Howard clenched his fists. He knew what he had to do.

"I'll destroy him."

Jack’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. "That so?"

Howard’s voice grew more desperate. “I—I swear! I’ll make him pay! I’ll—I'll kill the bastard!"

Jack’s smirk widened. “That’s a bit extreme, don’t you think?”

Howard shook his head furiously. “No, no! That bastard set me up! He made me look like an idiot in front of you! I—I should’ve known better!"

Jack picked up his whiskey, taking another slow sip. “You should have.”

    Nie Mitchell stood frozen, his mind in chaos.How did this happen?How did he lose everything in a matter of minutes?His business contracts—gone. His family home—gone. His reputation—shattered.His family stood behind him, their faces pale with fear.Victoria Reed, who had been gleefully mocking Jack Sullivan minutes ago, now looked like she had swallowed a brick. "N-Nie, what the hell is going on?! Why is Howard doing this to you?"Nie clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. His entire body trembled as he turned toward Howard Dawson, who was walking away."Howard!" Nie shouted, desperation in his voice. "Wait! This is a joke, right? You’re not serious about kicking my family out, are you?"Howard didn’t even look back. “It’s already done. You lied to me, Nie. And I don’t tolerate people who make me look like an idiot.”Nie staggered back. “Howard, please—”Howard finally turned, his expression cold. “Consider yourself lucky Jack Sullivan didn’t kill you where you st

    For two days, Jack Sullivan stayed in his villa, practicing at Crystal Lake late at night or in the early morning. His cultivation journey had begun again, and he was determined to regain the strength he once possessed.In the world of martial arts, fighters were divided into levels: Basic Fighters, Internal Strength, Pulse Realm, and the near-mythical True Essence Realm—where Jack once stood. He had been a warrior feared by all, but now he was starting over, clawing his way back to power.Standing by the lake, Jack inhaled deeply, gathering energy. With a single slap against the water, a powerful shockwave exploded across the surface, sending ripples across the entire lake. He smirked. His strength was returning.As he prepared to continue, he felt something—eyes on him.Someone was watching.Jack turned sharply, his gaze locking onto a figure hiding behind the trees. “Come out,” he commanded.The intruder flinched but stepped forward hesitantly. It was Howard Dawson, the son of a po

    Howard Dawson fidgeted as he knelt on the cold marble floor of Jack Sullivan’s villa. The silence stretched, thick and suffocating. Had he overstepped? Had he just signed his own death warrant by asking Jack to help?Jack remained motionless, arms crossed, his sharp gaze studying Howard as if he were an insect under a magnifying glass. This man had mocked him just days ago, and now he was kneeling like a dog? Pathetic.Howard swallowed hard. "Mr. Sullivan…?"Then, to his shock, Jack finally spoke."Fine."Howard's head snapped up. "W-What?"Jack smirked. "I'll go with you."For a moment, Howard thought he had misheard. But no—Jack Sullivan, the man who had humiliated him without lifting a finger, was actually agreeing to help. This was his chance!Howard leaped to his feet, nearly tripping over himself. “G-Great! I’ll drive us there right now!”Jack simply grabbed his coat, moving with the kind of effortless confidence that made Howard’s gut twist. Just who the hell was Jack Sullivan?

  • THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER   CHAPTER 45 CHALLENGE

    Jack Sullivan leaned against the car, watching the scene unfold with an amused expression. These so-called “fighters” had no idea what they were walking into.Frank and Derek Miller, the so-called “Miller brothers,” strutted around like they owned the place. Frank flexed his arms, cracking his knuckles loudly, while Derek smirked as if he had already won.Jack shook his head.Pathetic.Neither of them had real martial arts training. Frank was barely at the lowest level of a basic fighter, while Derek hadn’t even reached that. Against a true martial artist like Julia Yates, they were walking straight into their own humiliation.But before Jack could say anything, Tina Dawson noticed his reaction.“What’s with that look?” she snapped, glaring at him. “You think you’re better than them?”Jack met her gaze lazily. “Just thinking.”“Thinking what?” she pressed, arms crossed.Jack shrugged. “That this is going to be a massacre.”Tina scoffed. “Oh, please. You don’t know what you’re talking

    As they reached the doors of Carpian Boxing Hall, the air was thick with the unmistakable stench of sweat and testosterone.Jack Sullivan glanced around, assessing the room as he stepped inside.The atmosphere was intense, the kind of place where violence was a way of life, not just a consequence.Dozens of fighters, each more built and intimidating than the last, threw punches and kicks with brutal precision.Some were hitting punching bags, others sparring in the ring, but they all shared one thing in common—they were all fighters.Jack’s gaze lingered on the scene for a moment.These were the types of people who lived for violence—their every movement calculated, their minds focused only on the next hit, the next fight, the next victory.And yet, none of them seemed to notice him. They were too wrapped up in their own little world.Tina Dawson, pushing through the crowd with an air of superiority, led the way.She strode confidently toward the front of the hall, arms crossed in fro

  • THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER   CHAPTER 47 EMBARASSED

    The air in the Carpian Boxing Hall was thick with tension. Frank Miller, still groaning on the floor, was an example of what happened when arrogance collided with real power. Julia Yates hadn’t even broken a sweat, yet she had easily incapacitated him with a single tap of her finger. The room had fallen silent, the fighters and spectators alike unable to comprehend how someone could be taken down so quickly.Tina Dawson stood off to the side, a smug look still lingering on her face, but her eyes betrayed her anxiety. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Frank and Derek Miller were supposed to show Julia Yates her place, not get humiliated in front of everyone.She watched Frank writhing on the floor, his knee twisted at an unnatural angle, and her stomach turned.“You think you’re tough?” Julia’s voice cut through the silence as she casually surveyed the wreckage in front of her. Her cold green eyes rested briefly on Frank before moving to Derek, who was still too stunned to mak

    The Carpian Boxing Hall was still, the sounds of chaos from earlier replaced with the uneasy silence of realization. Frank and Derek Miller, still recovering from the devastating defeat at the hands of Julia Yates, lay on the floor nursing their wounds. Derek, once so full of arrogance, now lay crumpled and powerless, unable to lift himself off the ground. And in the middle of it all stood Tina Dawson, her face pale, her mind racing as the reality of the situation set in.Tina had thought her fighters were strong, had believed that Frank and Derek could handle anyone, even Julia Yates. But now, watching the destruction unfold before her, she realized just how wrong she was. She had underestimated everyone, including Jack Sullivan.Howard Dawson stood beside her, still trembling from the earlier encounter. He glanced nervously at Jack, unsure whether to speak or stay silent.“Jack... do you think you could take her on?” Howard’s voice wavered. He knew Julia was strong, maybe eve

    The entire Carpian Boxing Hall seemed to hold its breath as Julia Yates, the powerful and feared fighter, knelt before Jack Sullivan. The woman who had once struck terror into the hearts of anyone who dared face her—was now begging.Tina Dawson, still reeling from the defeat of her so-called “elite fighters,” watched in utter disbelief. Julia Yates, the woman who had humiliated her brother and Frank Miller with ease, was now on her knees in front of Jack Sullivan, asking to become his servant.Howard Dawson, standing beside her, was just as stunned. His mind raced as he tried to process the absurdity of the scene. Julia had been someone they feared just a few moments ago. Now, she was offering to serve Jack Sullivan as though she were some lowly peasant.Jack, however, seemed completely unfazed by her desperation. His gaze was calm and calculating, as if he had seen this kind of submission countless times before. He stood tall, his arms crossed, eyeing Julia with a mixture of indi

    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.

    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 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

    "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—"

    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

    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

    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
