Peter Park was fuming. His plan to humiliate Jack Sullivan and Lisa Johnson had backfired spectacularly. The warehouse—a dirty, neglected space—was supposed to be the ultimate punishment for Jack’s boldness.

He expected them to suffer in the awful conditions and come crawling back to him for help. Lisa would surely beg him to fix the situation, wouldn’t she?

But instead, Jack had walked confidently into the luxurious lakeside villa, the most exclusive and expensive accommodation on the property.

The same villa that was usually reserved for Boss Raymond himself. The audacity.

Peter’s jaw tightened as he watched them leave the villa.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. Had Jack actually managed to break into the place? That was the only explanation.

He couldn't fathom how Jack could have had access to a place meant only for the owner of Darkeis Winery.

He was seething with anger, but he couldn’t just stand there. His pride wouldn’t let him. So, he sent Lisa Johnson a message, hoping to stir u

    The class reunion banquet was in full swing at the Darkeis Winery, with the lavish setting and rich food creating an atmosphere that seemed almost too perfect. Xavier, the chef at the winery, had worked tirelessly preparing the meals for the night. As he walked around the large banquet hall, placing plates of gourmet dishes in front of their old classmates, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in his work."Xavier, this food is amazing!" Jack Sullivan called out from the table, a plate of freshly prepared dishes in front of him. He smiled at his old friend, clearly impressed. “You should be the general manager of this place, not just the cook.”Xavier grinned, his face lighting up at the compliment. He was always quiet and humble about his skills, but it felt good to hear Jack’s praise. He chuckled, shaking his head. “I don’t think I could handle being the general manager, Jack. It’s a lot more than just cooking.”The group of classmates around them laughed, the mood light and c

    Xavier, who had been standing off to the side, couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up, glaring at Peter. “You’ve got no right to talk to Jack like that. He’s not some thief, and you know it!” Xavier’s voice boomed, the anger clear in his tone.Peter’s eyes narrowed, and his lips curled into a snarl. “Oh, so you’re going to defend him now, Xavier? Just a cook at the winery, trying to play hero?” Peter scoffed. “Maybe I should fire you for siding with a criminal.”Xavier’s jaw tightened. “You’re ridiculous, Peter.” He didn’t back down, even though he knew Peter could make his life difficult at work. But Peter didn’t care—he was so consumed by his desire to tear Jack down that he completely lost sight of reason.“Fine! You’re fired, Xavier.” Peter’s voice rang out with cruel finality. "I’ll have your apron and your job taken from you first thing tomorrow."The room went silent. Xavier had always been a loyal worker at the winery, and hearing Peter's words was like a slap to the face. The

    The mood at the Darkeis Winery had turned tense and uncertain. After Peter Park’s humiliating accusations and Jack Sullivan’s calm dismissal of them, the group was left to pick up the pieces. However, the night was far from over. Sarah—who had been sitting quietly, watching the chaos unfold—was growing more and more concerned. She could feel the pressure mounting, and Peter’s relentless pursuit of revenge was starting to push things too far.“I have to do something, Jack,” Sarah said softly to Lisa Johnson, her eyes darting around nervously. “This isn’t going to end well if we let it go on like this.” She reached for her phone and quickly dialed Rolex, her boyfriend, who was from a powerful family with connections to the owner’s son, Raymond. Sarah had known that Rolex’s influence could help in situations like this.“Rolex, you need to come to the winery right now.” Sarah said, her voice low and urgent. “Peter’s making things worse, and we need your help.”Rolex’s voice on the other e

    The class reunion banquet was slowly turning into a battleground of power, accusations, and egos.The lavish venue at Darkeis Winery had become the backdrop for Peter Park’s relentless attempts to tear Jack Sullivan down, and Jack was still standing firm, unshaken by the chaos around him.But things were far from settled.At a nearby table, Benson, the wealthy young master from the Garvos family, was chatting politely with Raymond, the son of the winery’s owner.However, Benson’s mood suddenly soured when he overheard a conversation about the villa he had been promised for the evening.“What do you mean the villa is unavailable?” Benson’s voice was ice-cold, and he looked at Raymond, his brow furrowed in anger.“I was told it was undergoing renovations.”Raymond’s heart skipped a beat. He had lied to Benson.The villa had been intentionally kept off-limits because of the disturbance Jack had caused earlier, but now it was clear that Benson was furious.Raymond panicked, realizing that

    “About the villa, right?” Rolex interrupted smoothly, his tone almost patronizing.“Don’t worry about it. I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.”Raymond hesitated for a moment before nodding, understanding that Rolex was acting as the mediator in this situation.It was clear that Rolex’s words held weight, and Raymond didn’t want to anger him.“You’re right, Rolex. I’ll take care of it. Let’s forget about it.”The tension in the room dissipated as everyone exhaled in relief.The issue seemed to be solved.For a moment, it looked like Jack Sullivan had come out on top, with Rolex’s influence smoothing things over.The classmates, some of whom had been worried about the situation escalating, began to relax again.But Peter Park, ever the schemer, wasn’t done yet.He watched the scene unfold with a bitter expression.His plans had been thwarted by Rolex’s intervention, and it was clear that he needed a new strategy.He wasn’t going to let Jack get away with being untouched by all th

    The room was filled with a palpable tension, the weight of Peter Park’s anger and Benson’s growing frustration settling in like a storm about to break.Peter Park, who had been so certain of his plan to humiliate Jack Sullivan, was now standing on the sidelines, watching as Rolex calmly stepped in and diffused the situation.Peter didn’t understand the connection between Rolex and Jack.Who was this man?He seemed to have everyone’s respect, and it made Peter seethe with jealousy.But Peter didn’t have time to dwell on that.He had a new plan, one that relied on Benson and his position.Benson was from the influential Garvos family, a power that Peter believed could put an end to Jack’s supposed “misconduct” with one swift move.Benson, however, had other things on his mind. His eyes, cold and calculating, shifted between Rolex and Jack.He was used to getting what he wanted, and he certainly wasn’t going to let some bastard son like Rolex get in the way. Benson had always looked down

    The banquet hall erupted into chaos. Peter Park, his smug face twisted in confidence, had just tried to take Lisa Johnson away under Benson’s orders. He had been so sure of himself, so certain that Jack Sullivan wouldn’t dare to resist.But Jack didn’t hesitate.With one swift motion, Jack stabbed a knife straight through Peter Park’s hand, the blade sinking into flesh with a sickening thud.Peter let out a bloodcurdling scream, his knees buckling as he clutched his hand. Blood dripped onto the polished floor as his face contorted in agony. “AAAAARGH! MY HAND!”The room fell deathly silent. Everyone, including Rolex and Benson, froze. No one had expected Jack to act so ruthlessly.Lisa, who had initially gasped in shock, was now looking at Jack in a mix of awe and relief. He had protected her without hesitation. Jack was calm, as if he had just swatted away an annoying fly.He gently turned to Lisa and brushed a strand of hair from her face, his voice low and reassuring. “Ignore them,

    The air in the banquet hall shifted instantly.Just minutes ago, Jack Sullivan had been nothing more than a punching bag for everyone’s ridicule—someone they could mock, dismiss, and humiliate. But now? The entire room was looking at him with awe and fear.The same classmates who had whispered that Lisa Johnson only married him for money?The same people who had laughed at him behind his back?They were now flocking around him, their faces plastered with fake admiration."Jack, buddy! You should’ve told us you owned Darkeis Winery!" One of them chuckled nervously, patting Jack’s shoulder like they had been lifelong friends."Man, we always knew you were special!" Another chimed in, his voice dripping with desperation.Jack watched them with mild amusement. Just moments ago, these rats were watching, hoping for him to fail, but now they were scurrying around, trying to latch onto his success. Typical.Lisa, standing beside Jack, could only roll her eyes at their sudden change in attitu

    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.

    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

    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.

    At an old teahouse in South Carson, Charlotte Shaw sipped jasmine tea, legs crossed, eyes fixed on the frail man seated across from her. Uncle Frank, once a martial arts legend, now leaned heavily on a cane, his left leg twitching involuntarily.“You’re going to Scorpion Hollow?” he asked, coughing. “Have you lost your damn mind, girl?”Charlotte sighed. “I don’t need a lecture, Uncle Frank. I need protection. Someone who can handle whatever’s in that cave.”He gave her a look. “Honey, I got arthritis, three broken ribs, and a spine that clicks when I sneeze. You think I’m hiking into poison cave central?”“Then give me someone. Recommend someone.”Frank scratched his grizzled chin. “There’s one. James Logan. Senior disciple of Master Wilson. Older martial brother of the guy Jack Sullivan turned into roadkill last month.”Charlotte blinked. “He’s alive?”Frank grinned. “Back in the States. Quiet. Waiting for his chance to kill Sullivan. He hates Jack more than your makeup artist hates

    Matthew groaned on the leather couch, a towel pressed against the hole in his ribs where Jack's finger had almost turned him into a human donut. Jack stood nearby, arms crossed, eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and warning.“You stink,” Jack said bluntly. “Like rotting lizard mixed with cheap poison.”Matthew winced. “That’s not my cologne.”Jack knelt beside him. “Don’t play games. That smell on you—what is it? Start talking before I turn the other side of you into Swiss cheese.”Matthew swallowed hard. “It’s from Scorpion Hollow… in Pine Ridge. I went there two weeks ago with Victor Lawrence. We were looking for some rare creatures.”Jack’s eyes narrowed. “Scorpion Hollow? You telling me you stepped into that death trap?”“Not willingly!” Matthew coughed. “Victor said we’d find something useful. There were mutated scorpions, the size of dogs—vicious. Nearly everyone got wiped out. I… I got bit.”Jack leaned in, now genuinely intrigued. Scorpion Hollow... that place was just a l

    As the music resumed at the wedding, the mood had shifted dramatically. Where once whispers of doubt surrounded Jack Sullivan, now every step he took was met with hushed reverence. The most feared man in Carson City had just made an example out of the Lawrences—and everyone was watching.“Mr. Sullivan, may I pour you another glass?” a trembling waiter asked, bowing so low his forehead nearly touched the table.“No need,” Jack said coolly. “I’ve already spilled enough tonight.”Laughter rippled across the room—nervous, forced, but there.Heather Reed, still dressed in her bridesmaid gown, made her way over to David Smith. Her smile was suddenly sweet, her eyes glistening with what she hoped looked like regret.“David…” she purred, placing a hand gently on his arm. “About earlier… I didn’t mean to say all those things. I—I was confused. But seeing you now, I realize I made a mistake.”David raised a brow. “Yeah, you did. A big one. The size of your ego, actually.”“Come on,” she said wi

    The air in the reception hall crackled with tension. Jack Sullivan’s fury was palpable, his eyes cold as they locked onto Victor Lawrence and his son Derek, who was still trying to steady himself after the humiliation. Jack’s fingers curled into a fist at his side, the anger burning beneath his calm exterior.“You think I’m done?” Jack’s voice was low, icy, and every word dripped with menace. “No, Victor. This ends now.”Victor’s jaw tightened, and he stood taller, attempting to retain his pride. “You’ve made your point, Mr. Sullivan. But my son is not some animal you can—”“I’m not done with you yet,” Jack interrupted, his gaze shifting to Derek. “Both of you need to kneel. Now. Apologize.”Derek’s face twisted in fury. “You think I’m going to kneel to you? You’ve got another thing coming!”Victor’s hand clenched at his side, his mind racing. He could feel the power shift in the room, and the realization hit him like a ton of bricks—this was Jack’s territory. This was Carson City. Th

    “Mr. Sullivan?” she muttered, looking at her husband. “You... you didn’t tell me.”David Smith stood beside her, his face blank as he stared at Jack, the realization dawning on him as well.Jack Sullivan, who had once been just the man to help them with a business deal, was Mr. Sullivan—the figure of power and mystery that everyone feared.Lisa’s voice cracked. “How... how could you not tell me?” She turned to David, her eyes filled with hurt. “You’ve known all along?”David remained silent, his jaw tight. How was he supposed to explain?Meanwhile, Heather Reed, who had earlier mocked Jack for his lack of importance, now found herself on her knees, trembling. She bowed her head to the floor. “Mr. Sullivan, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”Her voice was shaky, and the room fell into an uncomfortable silence as she waited for Jack’s response.Jack, still calm and composed, took a slow sip from his wine glass. He didn’t even glance at Heather. “Stand up, Miss Reed,” he said coolly. “I do

    Heather Reed stormed out of the venue, her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor as she dialed Maria with trembling fingers.“Maria!” she hissed into the phone, breath ragged. “You need to come. Now. It’s Derek. He’s been—he’s been beaten, and it’s not just that. You need to see who did it.”“What?! Beaten?!” Maria’s voice cracked through the speaker. “Where are you?”“The reception hall. Hurry!”Maria arrived minutes later, breathless, gown flowing behind her like a trail of chaos. She pushed through the crowd only to see Derek sprawled across the floor, face drenched in red wine, struggling to speak through a busted lip.“Oh my God,” she gasped. “What happened to you?”Derek groaned, spitting out blood. “It was him—Jack Sullivan! That bastard humiliated me! Call my father! Call Uncle Warren! They’ll make him pay!”Heather stood nearby, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her eyes darting between Jack and the growing crowd.Jack Sullivan, calm and composed, leaned back i
