Mikelson, watching nervously, finally spoke. "Gabriel, maybe hear him out."

Aliyah added, "It could be important." She forced a smile at Brock, who returned it in a sly manner.

Gabriel glanced at them, then back at Brock. "Make it quick."

Brock's eyes gleamed with confidence. "Let's discuss this in private."

The crowd's murmurs grew louder, the atmosphere thick with anticipation. Gabriel's decision now hung in the balance, leaving everyone on edge, wondering what Brock's offer could be and how Gabriel would respond.

With a cold stare, Gabriel responded, "I'm not stepping away from my family for this."

Brock's smile faded. "This isn't a negotiation, Gabriel. You might want to reconsider."

Gabriel's jaw tightened. "And you might want to learn some respect."

As the two men stood locked in a silent battle of wills, Mikelson and Aliyah exchanged worried glances.

Then Brock, deciding to act nice for a minute, proudly said, "I will overlook your bluntness, man." He glanced at Mikelson, who g

"I hope you're right, Gabriel. For all our sakes, I hope you're right."Just then, Brock's bodyguards came to invite Gabriel. As Gabriel left with them, the room remained heavy with tension.

    As Gabriel stood with his family, some onlookers began to murmur amongst themselves, their disbelief palpable."There's no way he took down Brock's bodyguards alone," one man scoffed, shaking his head."He's just asking for trouble," another chimed in. "Brock won't let this slide. He will come back and break Gabriel's wings for sure."Aliyah heard their whispers and glared at them, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "We all don't know Gabriel like we think we do. I think he is stronger and smarter than we think."One of the skeptics, a man with a sneer on his face, replied, "Words are cheap. Brock is a powerhouse in this city. Gabriel won't last long against him."Mikelson stepped forward, his voice calm but firm. "Gabriel has shown time and again that he's capable of handling himself. Doubt him if you wish, but don't underestimate him."Gabriel, hearing the commotion, turned to address the crowd directly. "If Brock wants to come after me, let him. I'm not afraid. I've dealt wit

    Brock stared at Gabriel, hatred oozing from every pore as he watched Gabriel approach. He muttered to himself, "Those bodyguards must have taught him a severe lesson. That's why he's coming to apologize."When Gabriel reached him, he stood silently, meeting Brock’s gaze without a hint of apology. Infuriated by Gabriel’s boldness, Brock's lips twisted into a scornful expression. "Do the needful before I turn into a beast," he ordered.Gabriel lifted his brows, feigning confusion. "And what, exactly, is the needful?""Apologize to me, fool," Brock yelled. "Isn't that why you came here?"Gabriel's face morphed into a mocking expression that took Brock aback. "Actually," he said, "I was thinking of apologizing for taking down your bodyguards, but now I realize that was a stupid thought."Brock's eyes narrowed in disbelief. "You’re a joker. You couldn’t have taken my men down."Gabriel leaned forward, his voice calm but piercing. "So where are they then?"Brock laughed, his amusement tinge

    Gabriel walked further and stopped, realizing he couldn't see his father-in-law or sister-in-law nearby. He wondered where they had gone. Then, Benson approached him with Walter. "Lost your family, Gabriel?" Benson sneered. "They probably disappeared because they felt you’d be a huge disappointment."Walter chimed in, smirking. "Maybe they’ve finally seen through your act."Gabriel’s patience snapped. He grabbed Benson’s collar, pulling him close. "Enough of your nonsense," he said coldly, his eyes blazing with intensity. "I've had it with your provocations."Walter, taken aback, watched in stunned silence. When Gabriel shifted his gaze to him, Walter’s bravado melted away. "Th-they’re over there," he stammered, motioning to a corner around the vicinity. Gabriel let go of Benson roughly, causing him to stumble. Ignoring their hostile glares, he walked briskly to where Mikelson and Aliyah stood.Mikelson looked almost startled as Gabriel reached them. "Did Brock harm you?" he asked,

    Brock’s face darkened further. "Nonsense!" he roared, delivering another vicious kick to the speaking guard. "You expect me to believe that? You’re just trying to cover up your incompetence!"The guard gasped for breath, his voice barely audible. "It's the truth... he’s too strong."Brock sneered, his eyes blazing with hatred. "I don’t care what he is. No one makes a fool out of me and gets away with it." He clenched his fists, the rage boiling over. "I will make Gabriel pay for this insult, and I will make sure he regrets the day he crossed paths with me."He turned on his heel, leaving his battered bodyguards behind, his mind already plotting his revenge. The image of Gabriel’s defiant face fueled his anger, and he swore to himself that this was far from over."Mark my words," he muttered to himself. "Gabriel will wish he had never set foot on this earth."The alley echoed with the sounds of his bodyguards' groans, a stark reminder of the strength and resilience of the man Brock was

    As Mr. Mythir's right-hand man took his place beside him, Mr. Mythir leaned in to whisper something confidential, a sinister glint in his eyes, before reclining back in his chair with an air of authority. The room fell silent as all eyes turned to him, anticipating his next move.With deliberate nonchalance, Mr. Mythir dropped his pipe to the table, the clatter echoing through the room, before rising to his feet. His invitation to Vincent Morgan, the esteemed leader of the city's jewelry industry, dripped with arrogance, a challenge that couldn't be refused."Vincent," he drawled, his tone laced with superiority, "care to test your luck against mine? Let us gamble."Vincent hesitated, though not aware of the stakes involved. As the organizer of the event, he couldn't afford to decline the challenge, despite his lack of expertise in gambling. With a resigned nod, he accepted, steeling himself for the impending showdown.Mikelson, observing the scene with growing concern, leaned into Ga

    Seeing the provocation of Mr. Mythir caused by Vincent, the jewelry merchants from Duskfort City began to look down on the local merchants. They all started talking down on them, their voices growing louder and more disdainful. Mr. Mythir enjoyed the uproar, staring sternly at Vincent.One of the Duskfort merchants sneered, "Typical of the local merchants. All talk and no action."Another chimed in, "I thought Vincent Morgan was supposed to be a leader in the industry. What a disappointment."The taunts grew more pointed. "Seems like the local merchants can't handle real competition. They should stick to their safe little deals."Mr. Mythir's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he watched the scene unfold. "Vincent, it appears my people share my sentiments. Are you sure you want to back down now and face their scorn?"Vincent’s face flushed with frustration and indecision. "This isn't about fear, Mr. Mythir. It's about making responsible decisions.""Responsibility?" Mr. Mythir scoffed,

    The day of Camella’s delivery was a difficult one. The air was thick with tension, and Gabriel paced the hospital corridor, his face lined with worry. His heart pounded each time he heard footsteps approach, hoping for news. Dan stood beside him, trying his best to calm him down."She's strong, Gabriel. She'll get through this," Dan said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Zoe nodded in support. "Remember how well she did with Jessie? She can do it again."Gabriel nodded but his eyes were distant, full of concern. "I know, but this is different. The doctors said there were complications. It wasn’t like this with Jessie."Dan sighed. "Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but she’s in good hands. You have to trust that."Time dragged on, each minute feeling like an hour. Then, finally, the door to the delivery room opened, and the doctor emerged. His expression was serious, almost grave, and Gabriel's heart sank."Doctor, is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Gabriel asked, his voice almost bre

    Gabriel's return was like a sudden burst of light piercing through the darkness that had settled in the room where his body was laid before he left, making his way downstairs. His family had been sitting in silence in the living room, weighed down by a sense of gloom, each lost in their thoughts when his voice echoed softly from the doorway."I'm back," Gabriel said, his tone gentle but firm, as though those two words were enough to bring peace to the chaos that had lingered. Everyone's heads snapped up, eyes widening in disbelief. Camella was the first to react, tears spilling down her cheeks as she rushed toward him. "Gabriel! You're...you're here!" she choked out, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Yes, I'm here," he whispered, holding her close. "I’m back, and everything is going to be alright." Soon, the others joined in, surrounding him, their faces a mix of relief, joy, and astonishment. Marie, his mother, was tearful as she cupped his face, studying him as if she couldn

    Gabriel’s eyes remained steady as he faced Thelma. Her expression was tense, eyes flickering with a mix of urgency and despair. She had tried reasoning with him, threatening him, yet he stood firm, his gaze unwavering. “Gabriel, this is the last chance you’d get. Forever,” Thelma's voice trembled, but it was clear she meant every word.Gabriel let out a slow breath. “Let it be so. Please, go save your mother. She doesn’t deserve to die at my expense.”Thelma blinked as if she hadn’t expected such calmness. Her eyes, filled with confusion, fixed on him. “The life is ebbing from you,” she said, stepping closer. “And my mother… for her to be restored, she needs the magical ring you’re putting on.” Gabriel glanced down at the ring, a simple yet powerful artifact, now glinting in the dim light. He looked back up at her, his lips curling into a sad smile. Without a word, he slowly slid the ring off his finger and held it out to her. “You can use it to save her.”Thelma was stunned. “Are y

    In the dimly lit hall of Noctura, Seraphina’s laughter echoed against the stone walls, her eyes gleaming with a sadistic delight. Gabriel stirred, groaning as he slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sight before him—Seraphina, standing there with a mocking grin, her shoulders shaking with laughter.“Why are you laughing?” he asked, his voice hoarse, barely masking his confusion. “Do I look amusing to you, lying here wrecked like this?”“Not really,” Seraphina replied, her lips curling. “Actually, I played a little trick earlier, and it seems to be working. I can hear the cries echoing all around. They’re devastated… those weak humans.”Gabriel frowned, trying to process her words. “What do you mean?”She stepped closer, her dark eyes glinting as she leaned down, speaking in a low, deliberate tone. “I gave you a claim mark,” she said, her fingers lightly brushing his arm. “It’s imprinted right there, on your skin.”Gabriel’s eyes widened as he looked

    Gabriel was thrown back into his dark, cold cell, his body bruised and battered. The guards had shown no mercy, following Queen Seraphina's orders to the letter. They took turns flogging him, their harsh laughter echoing off the stone walls. He had barely any strength left, yet he forced himself to stay conscious, unwilling to give them the satisfaction of seeing him break. After the beatings, they chained him up, suspending his arms so he couldn’t lie down. The heavy chains cut into his wrists, but he bit down hard, swallowing his pain. As if that wasn’t enough, cold water was splashed on him, drenching him, making the chill seep deep into his bones. It was all part of the queen’s relentless torment. Meanwhile, Thelma watched from the shadows, her heart aching. Her mother’s cruelty had gone too far. But she had been powerless to stop it, her powers restricted under strict orders from Seraphina. She clenched her fists, unable to bear seeing Gabriel in this condition any longer. Gath

    Thelma stood there, her gaze fixed on Gabriel, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of determination and longing. Gabriel, shackled and weary, looked up, confused. "Why are you here, Thelma?" he asked, his voice rough from exhaustion.Thelma hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Why? Do I need a reason?""Yes," Gabriel replied, his eyes narrowing. "Answer that. I'm sure your queen won't want you to be here.""Yes, my mother would be furious," Thelma admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But I don't care. I just care about you."Gabriel's expression softened, but he was still cautious. "What?""Yes," she said, her eyes shining. "I care about you and... I want you to marry me."Gabriel's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Marry you?"Thelma took a step closer, her gaze unflinching. "Yes. Marry me. I can help you." He stared at her silently, trying to read her intentions, but she continued, her voice pleading. "I promise you, Gabriel, if you marry me, I can vouch t

    Zoe felt a chill run down her spine, and she struggled to find words. "I... I didn’t know," she said, barely able to process what Tamara was saying.Camella, though lost in her own world of grief, heard Tamara’s last words and turned, her eyes wide with horror. “What are you saying?” she whispered, her lips trembling. “Someone has to die... for him to wake up?”Tamara hesitated, seeing the fear in Camella's eyes. "I wish it wasn't true, but... yes. That’s how it works. It’s a cruel trade," she said softly, her own voice betraying her sadness.Camella felt the room spin for a moment, her heart pounding. She looked at Gabriel, her lips quivering as she whispered, “No... there has to be another way. There has to be.”Zoe moved closer to Tamara, her mind reeling from the revelation. “Is there really no other way?” she asked, almost pleading."I've searched, Zoe," Tamara said, shaking her head.

    Gabriel stood there, his breath heavy, the dark silhouette of the creature looming over him. It was unlike anything he had ever seen—a twisted mix of shadows and fangs, with eyes that seemed to glint even in the darkness. His heart pounded as he gripped the hilt of an available sword tighter, the sweat from his palms making it slick. He knew he had to act fast, but the creature’s movements were unpredictable, darting around him, taunting him.“Come on,” he muttered to himself, trying to steady his breathing. “Just one opening… that’s all I need.”The creature lunged, and he sidestepped, narrowly avoiding its sharp claws. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and his muscles ached from the strain of dodging and countering. He swung his sword, managing to nick the creature’s side, but it only hissed, unfazed, and retreated into the shadows. The brief moment of reprieve was shattered when he heard the snorting and stomping behind him. Turning, he saw the massive bull charging toward him

    More machines attacked, but Gabriel was relentless, his mind focused on one thing: survival. He fought with a ferocity he didn’t know he had, each blow more powerful than the last. For every machine that attacked, he countered with swift, brutal precision, his eyes glowing brighter with every strike.As he stood amidst the shattered remains of the machines, his chest heaving, he heard Seraphina’s voice echo through the realm. “Impressive, Gabriel. But this is only the beginning. You will break, and you will serve me… or you will die.”Gabriel looked around, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breath ragged but steady. “I’ll never be yours,” he shouted defiantly, his voice echoing through the dark, empty expanse of Noctura. “I will find a way out of this place, and I will destroy everything you throw at me.”Seraphina's laughter echoed, dark and mocking. “We shall see, Gabriel. We shall see.”As the darkness around him deepened, Gabriel steeled himself, knowing that this was only the b
