THE VENGEFUL HEIR Come Get Him
Liam’s steps were steady as he walked toward his car, determined to rescue Jack and damn the consequences. Jack had always been by his side and helped him through all these chaos, but these last few days, he had to do everything alone, but the more he left Jack there, the more he felt like everything was going to blow over. His mind was still adrift as he made his way to his car, but the moment his fingers brushed against the door handle, he froze. His jaw clenched as he realized, he didn’t even know where Jack was.How could he save him if he didn’t even know where to start? Liam exhaled sharply, frustration burning in his chest. His gaze shifted back toward the alley, where Victor still lay slumped against the ground. His breaths were shallow, but Liam could tell—he was awake. Awake and afraid.He turned and strode back toward him, his movements swift and precise. Victor groaned softly, hoping Liam wouldn’t notice that he was conscious, as he crouched beside him, gripping his chin a
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Line in the Sand
Following Peter’s words, Liam’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. He was counting on Peter to say something like that. After what he imagined they had done to Jack, he needed to show them the same amount of pain. He didn’t hesitate. The moment Peter tilted his head toward the warehouse doors, he surged forward, ready to tear through anyone who stood between him and Jack.But before he could take more than a few steps, Peter’s men closed in. A dozen figures moved swiftly, encircling him, with different weapons, from metal pipes to knives and steel knuckles, their expressions ranging from amused to deadly serious.Liam’s grip on the Zuri blade tightened as he slowed to a stop, his breath steady despite the tension thickening around him. The blade in his hand vibrated ever so slightly, humming with a resonance that sent a shiver through his bones. He swallowed, remembering Evelyn’s warning.“The Zuri blade is a conduit.”“If you keep using it, you might lose control of yourself and i
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Now It Begins
Liam’s fingers curled tighter around the Zuri blade, his breathing steady despite the storm raging inside him. His instincts screamed at him. He knew whatever was hiding in the shadows wasn’t normal, wasn’t human. The air in the room thickened, growing charged like the atmosphere before a storm, spiking the hairs on his skin, but he refused to show his fear. He couldn’t, not with Peter watching every moment of this as if it was some sick show. He knew any signs of weakness now would only satisfy Peter. He kept watching the direction of the footsteps, waiting to see what would emerge from the other end of it, and then, without warning, a large metal pipe came swinging toward his head.Liam reacted instantly. His body moved before his mind fully registered the attack, and in a single fluid motion, he swung the Zuri blade. The pipe met the sharp edge of the weapon, and with a sharp, metallic shring, it sliced it cleanly in half. The two severed pieces clattered to the warehouse floor, s
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Monster Within
A few seconds went by and then slowly, Jonah stood up, his gaze locked directly on Liam. He clenched his fist angrily, the veins on his arms popping out and then he growled. He took a step forward, muscles twitching as his blood red eyes remained locked onto Liam, and then he stomped the ground hard, causing it to tremble slightly. Liam clenched his jaw and held out a hand. His breath was steady, but within him, he didn’t want to keep fighting Jonah. He wasn’t afraid, but he wasn’t reckless either. “Jonah,” he called out, his voice firm but calm. “I know you’re in there. Stop this. I don’t wanna hurt you. I think I can help.” Liam said, lowering his arms as if trying to calm Jonah down.For a moment, Jonah hesitated, almost as if he could understood Liam. His body stiffened, his claws twitched, and those hollow red eyes flickered with something—something human.But then Peter’s voice slithered through the darkness like poison.“It’s no use, Liam.” His words dripped with satisfaction
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Can't Save Everybody
“You shouldn’t have done that.” Peter said in a low menacing voice. Upon hearing those words, Liam was slightly confused by what Peter meant. His heart hammered in his ears, but he didn’t dare take his eyes off Jonah, who was still writhing in the dim light.When he saw Jonah twitched, slowly pushing himself up, with blood still oozing from his chest, but nevertheless still not slowing him down. Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was not supposed to be possible. That cut had gone deep enough and Jonah should not have survived that, even if he did, he shouldn’t have been moving.Bracing himself, Liam tightened his grip around the Zuri blade.“Did you really think it would be that easy?” Peter’s voice filtered into his ears again, each word more condescending than the last. “I’ve spent years building this, perfecting my creations. Did you really think you can just end it with a single swing?”The words hit Liam like a punch to the gut and his mind raced, every thought spinning out
THE VENGEFUL HEIR He’s Creating Monsters
Liam took a cautious step forward. Jonah was on the ground, breathing heavily, his body twitching as the last remnants of Peter’s virus coursed through him. But his red eyes, weren’t just burning with fury anymore. There was something else. A flicker of recognition. A glimpse of the man Jonah used to be.The Zuri blade pulsed in Liam’s grip, sending an eerie sensation up his arm. The glow of the blade intensified, and for the first time, Liam felt something shift, not just in the weapon, but in the air around him.Peter leaned forward, his smirk faltering as he watched with sharp, curious eyes. “Interesting…” he murmured.Liam ignored him. His attention was locked onto Jonah. Carefully, he crouched, his muscles tense but his voice steady.“Jonah… listen to me.” His voice was low, calm. “You don’t have to fight anymore. You don’t have to be what Peter made you.”Jonah’s body shuddered, his breaths weak. His fingers curled into the ground, clawing at the concrete like he was fighting ag
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Rescued
After saying those words, Jack was almost about to slump again, but this time Liam caught him before he hit the ground. His body was cold, his breathing shallow with blood smeared all over his torn shirt, and at a glance, it seemed almost as if he was lifeless.“Jack!” Liam shook him slightly, but Jack was already unconscious at this time.Liam clenched his jaw, his mind racing. He didn’t have time to process Jack’s words. He already knew Peter was a nightmare, but now he had just confirmed for himself that there was even something much worse waiting in the shadows.Without wasting another second, Liam picked him up regardless of the pain surging through his body. He carried Jack down the stairs, moving as fast his battered body would allow. By the time he reached the car, he wasted no time and immediately yanked open the passenger door and carefully eased Jack inside, making sure his head was supported.Liam slid into the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles turn
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Make Him Pay
Liam nodded at Evelyn’s words, still trying to hold back his frustration and anger with everything that was happening. “Let me know when he’s awake,” he said quietly. “I have something to take care of.”Evelyn hesitated, her eyes studying him. She could see the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him, but she knew Liam wouldn’t stop, not now. With a quiet sigh, she reached out and patted his shoulder.“Liam… just be careful.”Liam didn’t respond. He turned and walked away, his boots heavy against the hospital floor. As soon as he stepped outside, the cold air hit his face, but it did little to ground him. His body was humming with tension, his mind clouded with everything that had happened in the last few hours—Jack’s battered body, the blood, the Zuri blade pulsing in his grip, and worst of all… Jonah.Jonah was dead, and there was nothing he could do to prevent him. Even till now Jonah’s death was still devastating. It reminded him that at the moment, there was not much he could d

Peter’s Monsters
Meanwhile after Peter left Moran’s mansion, he was filled with a new air of confidence as he strode into his laboratory, the Morath Relic clutched tightly in his hand, its cold surface pulsing faintly against his palm. The air inside the facility smelled of chemicals, burnt metal, and something else, something old, something forgotten like it was an abandoned lair. He exhaled slowly, allowing himself a moment to savor his victory. Once again, he had clashed with the Ogini, and once again, he had walked away triumphant. But this time was different.This time, he knew he was running out of his sharp edges, and there was another potential problem, Jack. That boy was the variable he hadn’t accounted for, the unexpected force tilting the balance. If it had been just the Ogini, Peter would have already cemented his dominance. But Jack had proven to be more than a nuisance—he was a real threat. The energy inside him, the way he wielded it, the way he had managed to break through the Ogini’
In The Last Minute
Jack barely had time to react. One second, he saw Liam’s eyes flickering between red and blue, a sign of the battle raging inside him. The next, the Ogini lunged.A sharp gasp escaped Jack as a powerful hand clamped around his throat. His feet left the ground, his body hoisted effortlessly into the air. The grip was tight, crushing, cutting off his air. He clawed at Liam’s arm, kicking violently, but it was useless. The Ogini was too strong and it had gotten him right where it wanted.A cold smirk spread across The Ogini’s lips. His eyes digging deep into Jack’s as if trying to capture his very soul.Jack’s vision blurred at the edges, his lungs burning. His body thrashed, instinct screaming at him to fight, but his strength was fading fast. The Ogini tilted its head slightly, eyes glowing with eerie amusement as it studied him like a toy that was about to break.“You’ve been quite the nuisance,” the Ogini murmured, its voice smooth yet sharp, layered with something ancient and cruel.

Fight For Control
Peter’s car had disappeared into the night, the taillights vanishing in the darkness, but the air still hummed with the aftershock of their battle—cracked pavement, scattered bodies, and the lingering charge of power that had yet to fade. But Liam wasn’t focused on any of it.His fingers curled tighter around the Zuri blade, its energy still alive in his grasp. His breath was heavy, his body rigid. His chest rose and fell with the remnants of adrenaline. And then, his eyes shifted.Jack barely had a moment to process what was happening before he saw the look in Liam’s eyes. They were cold, unreadable, but filled with something unmistakably foreign. Something that ironically he had recognized. This wasn’t Liam anymore. Not entirely. The faint red glow of the Ogini flickered beneath the surface of his eyes.Jack took a slow step back, every muscle in his body tensing.“Liam?” His voice was measured, but he could hear the uncertainty creeping into it.Liam didn’t respond. Or rather—the O
The Escape
Liam’s vision darkened, fading off slowly against the dented hood of the car. Pain pulsed through every inch of him, his ribs aching from the force of the impact. He could barely move, and was barely breathing. The last thing he saw was Jack, on his knees, trembling violently, his body rejecting the energy coursing through him. Peter’s voice echoed in the distance, smug and victorious.“Time’s up, Liam.”And that was when everything changed. A sudden w surge of energy spread through his fingers. It started in his grip, where the Zuri blade was still clutched tightly in his hand, and then it spread—like fire igniting in his veins.The power of the blade roared to life, but Liam knew he wasn’t the one in control anymore. He had lost it to the Ogini. Right now, anything that happened was out of his control.A massive force erupted from Liam’s body, blasting outward like a shockwave. The elite soldier pinning him down was flung into the air, the impact of the force so great, his entire bo
Time’s Up
When Peter lifted the Morath Relic, Liam felt a sharpSting through his heart. Peter’s grip tightened around it like a man who had just seized ultimate power. The dim glow from the relic illuminated his sharp features, showing the smugness in his eyes.“Didn’t think it’d be that easy,” Peter said, his voice smooth, dripping with satisfaction. “But finally, I’ve gotten it. Now, the only thing left is that blade in your hand.”Liam’s fingers instinctively curled around the Zuri blade at his side. Its hilt was warm against his palm, pulsing slightly as if aware of the danger surrounding them. Before he could respond, Peter’s gaze drifted toward Jack.For a split second, Peter hesitated, his brow knitting together in momentary surprise. Then, a slow, sinister smirk stretched across his lips.“Hold your dog, Liam. I wouldn’t want to break him again.” Peter sneered.Jack didn’t need any more provocation, as soon as those words hit him, he was truly like a dog which was about to go free. His
Peter’s Return
Liam barely had a moment to think. Jack was filled with too much energy after being seemingly reborn. He didn’t want to waste any time. He was already too eager to test out his new powers and so strode ahead toward the car with a confidence that made Liam slightly concerned for him. He knew what new power felt like, and knew that right now, Jack was not considering the chances of him losing control or this power fighting to maintain a balance and adjust to his body.Although he had never tried something like this before, he had heard about the few times that people tried and how damaging the results turned out to be. For someone who was not born with the cultivation gift, the power could either blend with their body or destroy it, and the worst part was that there was really no way to tell. In a way, this was nature’s way of ensuring that the powers in the universe were balanced and maintained, which was why Peter’s creations were even more dangerous than they seemed. Liam lingered f
Saved... But at what Cost?
Liam gritted his teeth as he pressed his hands against Jack’s wound, willing his chi to flow into him. The energy pulsed, thick and burning, coursing through his veins like molten fire. He could feel it shifting, twisting within him, resisting just as much as it obeyed.The Ogini stirred in the depths of his chi, the ancient force lingered, waiting for a moment of weakness, any weakness he could latch on to and take control of Liam’s mind. Liam knew this was dangerous, he knew that giving too much of himself could weaken his hold over it. But Jack’s heartbeat was slowing, his breath coming in short, rattled gasps. If he didn’t finish this and soon, Jack would die.Liam forced more energy through his palms, feeling it push into Jack’s broken body, knitting flesh, mending organs, pulling him back from the brink of death. Sweat beaded at Liam’s forehead, showing the weight of the situation. His muscles ached, his vision blurred, and he could feel the pull of the Ogini growing stronger, s
Made The Choice For You
Liam’s fingers twitched at his sides, torn between his instincts and the weight of Jack’s words. The idea of having Jack by his side, healed and capable, was tempting. Since Jack got injured and then captured, he had to carry the burden and weight of their fight alone, never fully trusting that someone else could understand the fight the way he did. But Jack, he had had always been different. He understood things in a way few did.Liam exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening. Jack saw the hesitation flicker across Liam’s face and seized the moment. He reached out and grabbed Liam’s hand, gripping it tightly, his fingers pressing hard into Liam’s skin. His eyes, usually filled with mischief, were dark with frustration.“I know it’s dangerous, Liam,” Jack said, his voice low and urgent. “But so is fighting a legion of those monsters.” He paused, his chest rising and falling with each shallow breath. “You know you need me, Liam. You know I can take it.”Liam’s throat tightened. He wanted to s
