THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Hostess
Author’s POVYona and Luca were still frozen in shock with a disheartened look.Meryl Shaw, the hostess of the party shifted a cold look at them. Without anyone mentioning she could tell that they were trying to cause problems for Liam.Turning towards Liam, she asked, “Mr. Maron, is everything alright here?”Liam smirked coldly and shook his head, “No, Luca and Yona were just about to honor our challenge and kneel, isn’t that right?” He said, flashing them a smug grin.Luca trembled and stammered in his reply, convinced that this was just a strange coincidence, “I– this– I believe there’s some misunderstanding here.”“Sir, you heard him. Kneel.” Meryl interjected, not bothered to hear what Luca had to say.Luca and Yona’s faces turned pale, but almost immediately, they became enraged, “Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?” Luca snarled, glaring at her.“I’m an esteemed employee of this company, and have every right to be here, and you– you’re what? Just some mid-level nobody?
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Divine Doctor
Author’s POVVictor seemed shocked to see Mia here, but he tried to conceal it. After his failed attempt earlier, he couldn’t fathom that she had gained entry another way, but then his gaze shifted to Liam standing a few feet behind her and anger surged within him.“How are you here?” Mia blurted without thinking it over. However, Victor seemed unbothered as he shifted his expression back to Mia.“I told you I’d get us in.” He replied with a smile.“Us?” Mia asked, her brows arching in confusion.Victor smiled and walked forward, leaning towards Mia’s ear, “How do you think you got in, Mia? I spoke with Mr. Young and convinced him to grant your family the opportunity to attend the banquet.” Victor knew that Mia was mostly interested in this banquet because of the opportunity it offered for her family to do business with the Youngs, and knew by mentioning it, she would feel smitten by his influence. However, Mia was not convinced by his bold claims. If she hadn’t witnessed what happe
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Confusion at The Banquet
Author’s POVThe whole place went quiet as soon as Liam’s name was announced. Mia gasped, covering her mouth in shock, watching Liam slowly stand up and head to the stage.“There must be some mistake,” she uttered in denial.It was easier to believe that Liam had been lying this whole time and that there was some mistake somewhere than to believe that he was the divine doctor and that this entire event was to honor him.However, she was not alone in her thinking. Everyone watched silently, their faces tinged with disbelief and confusion as Liam took the stage.The more they all stared at Liam, the harder it was to accept that he was the divine doctor who cured Natalie. Liam looked too young to be such an excellent divine doctor. From Michael Young’s announcement, it was clear that he had exhausted all options of curing his daughter and this divine doctor was his last and only hope.Could it be true?Could Liam be the doctor who cured her?Meanwhile, Victor had remained frozen in his
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Wrong One To Mess With
Author’s POVAfter Will’s efforts to defame Liam and Michael Young, hoping to stir up some of the elites in the group, thereby creating doubts in their minds about any present or future partnerships or business with the Young family, and as such get them to side with him, the tensed atmosphere had slowly died down, but Will was still basking in self-gratification, certain that he had stirred some doubts in the minds of the other elite families.However, at this time he suddenly noticed Mia in the crowd and was immediately smitten by her beauty.Gathering himself, he slowly approached her with a lewd smile, tapping her gently on the shoulder,“Pardon me, I couldn’t help seeing how beautiful you are. Would you mind joining me for a drink?” Will uttered.Mia took a glance at him and was immediately irritated. This was the same man who had just tried to defame Liam a few minutes ago, and now he was asking her for a drink. No way!Her brows creased into a frown as she shook her head, “I’m
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will Strikes Back
Liam seemed even more confused over what Mia was talking about. However, he chose not to question. At this point, he wanted to get out of here, away from all the chaos and crowd. But just then, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd. “Thank you for saving President Young’s daughter.” One man said.“You must be very good at what you do for President Young to trust you with her daughter’s life.” Another man toasted.“Didn’t you hear? He’s just a puppet. He’s not the divine healer. He’s way too young to have the experience it takes. He’s just a fraud.” Another person interjected with a sneer.“I heard one needs to attend medical and healing school for at least twenty-five years to have this skill level. He’s definitely not the one that cured President Young’s daughter.” A middle-aged woman with blonde hair and heavy makeup interjected coldly.Liam just stood quietly, refusing to acknowledge or refute their claims. It made no difference if anyone believed him or not to be the healer. There
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will's Proposal
Victor panicked when he realized who Will was. He feared he had just dug his grave with his own hands. He could not imagine what would happen if he could not fix this situation with Will.He stepped forward cautiously, feet dragging on the ground, and said politely with an ingratiating smile, “We don’t have to do this Mr. Salerno. My father has a good relationship with your family. Let’s not let a little misunderstanding destroy everything we’ve built together.”His eyes flashed with panic as he stared at Will, hoping that his words would somehow convince the man to back away.However, Will was not going to make it any easier for him. He clenched his fists and took a step forward, staring directly at Victor, “You think that it matters if our families are on good terms or not?” He sneered.“We are the largest and most powerful mafia family in the city, Victor. We are feared by the most elite families in this city. Compared to them, your family is like ants. You’re nothing to us, and yo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam's Attack
As soon as those words fell, Mia’s eyes widened in shock. If she had any idea that the man was going to ask her that, she never would have offered to help. She shifted her gaze to Victor, hoping he’d be able to help her out of this situation, but Victor remained quiet, looking straight ahead.At this point, Mia was in great despair as she finally realized that even her family meant nothing to the Salerno’s.With that realization, she was filled with horror, not sure what was going to happen now. She knew Will wouldn’t take no for an answer, not this time around.When Will saw her hesitancy, he could already tell what her response was going to be, so he slowly turned around, staring triumphantly at Victor who shot his gaze away the whole time.“Looks like you won’t be coming to her rescue this time Victor, I wonder why that is,” Will said and chuckled mockingly as Victor stood helpless.He then turned towards Mia and snapped his fingers, ordering his men, “Take her, she’s coming with
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Dead Man Walking
Liam turned slowly, facing Will. If only the pompous bastard knew who he truly was, he would know that his family’s influence and power were not even close to a fraction of the power he held.To him, the Salerno family were mere street thugs whom he could easily control.With this, he walked towards Will who kept sneering and pouring threats at him and without any hesitation, kicked him several times, including a kick to his crotch, tired of hearing the man’s irritating voice.Will screamed in pain, cupping his crotch, and immediately went quiet.Everyone who saw this froze in fear, terrified of the consequences of Liam’s actions. The mad acted like he was either mad or had a death wish. “Won’t you divorce him now?!” Victor’s voice echoed, “He’s clearly gone mad! And he’s going to take you and your family down with him except you end this now.” He added, trying to convince Mia, who seemed even more confused.“I don’t think it’s in your place to worry about what happens to my wife or

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
