THE VENGEFUL HEIR Getting Married
After Liam left the mansion, he drove straight to his newly gifted mansion, exhausted from his day. However, as soon as he walked into the house, his phone suddenly buzzed. Heaving a tired sigh, Liam retrieved the phone wondering who could be calling at this time. Seeing it was Mia, he hesitated for a while and then answered. He had barely said hello before Mia’s annoyed voice sounded, “Listen, my grandfather has demanded that we register for our marriage first thing tomorrow morning. I’ve tried to talk him out of it and convince him that we don’t need to rush into it, but he won’t let up. So meet me at the registrar's office tomorrow morning, do not keep me waiting.” Liam hesitated for a while. He could tell from her tone that she did not want this marriage, but there was not much he could do. “Okay, I’ll be there.” “Does it not bother you?” Mia sharply interjected, her voice tinged with anger and frustration. “I mean you are about to enter a fake marriage with a complete
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Friendly Competition
After a short drive, they arrived at the Carpi Sports Club. It was one of the most exclusive sports clubs in the city for the wealthy class.Mia and Yona were warmly welcomed as they arrived at the archery range, and because Liam was with them, he was allowed entry. Outside the hall, several young people were gathered, watching as Victor attempted to break his own record. Liam glanced and could see a man firing an arrow at a target with several others. Suddenly the announcer yelled in excitement, “Ladies and gentlemen, I can’t believe it. Victor Carpi has set a new record. He’s the undefeated archery champion of the world!” Victor turned around, bowing gracefully to the cheers and applause from the crowd and then he spotted Yona and approached her with a smile. “Yona, Mia, I’m glad you could make it.” But just as he spoke, his eyes fell on Liam and immediately, the excitement on his face slowly faded. “So he’s here too.” “Yeah unfortunately so. He’s Mia’s husband, they
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam Wins?
However, Liam did not pay attention to Victor's provocation; he remained confident, but the people around him booed. "Country bumpkin, just admit defeat! Victor scored full marks! Don't be a clown!" Liam ignored the people around him and took the bow and arrows handed to him by the staff. Victor looked at Liam in disbelief, "Kid, don't you understand the rules of archery? I've already scored full marks; there's no way you can beat me! I advise you to admit defeat early and divorce Mia!" Liam glanced at him mockingly, "The competition isn't over yet, and you already think you've won?" Hearing Liam's words, Victor sneered, "Fine, then let me see how this clown will perform!" Liam ignored the surrounding boos and jeers and easily picked up the bow and arrows. Just when everyone thought Liam was going to embarrass himself, he surprisingly pulled out three arrows in one go! Before the laughter could start, Liam quickly shot all three arrows within three seconds, and the onl
THE VENGEFUL HEIR President Young
Author’s POVMichael frowned upon seeing the crowd that formed. He had come to meet a friend and did not want to be disturbed and so waved his hand in displeasure, and immediately his bodyguards formed a wall, blocking off the guards. The camera flashes and whispers were cut short as his secretary stepped forward, her voice calm yet commanding,“Everyone please remain calm. Mr Young does not want to be disturbed, but he has told me to inform you that he will be hosting a charity banquet to express his gratitude to the divine doctor for healing his daughter.”The announcement sent a shockwave of excitement across the crowd. Soon they started whispering about the exclusivity of the event.Liam on the other hand did not look so interested. He knew the Young family was prominent, but seeing the reaction from the crowd, he could not help but be impressed.“Huh,” he scoffed with a thoughtful look, and Mia who was standing beside him turned around.“So President Young is so prestigious, int
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Invite Dilemma
Author’s POVMia remained speechless for a while, not sure what to say, or how to feel about Liam’s pestering.Her brows knitted in confusion, “Why?” Liam pushed off against the car and marched closer to her, “I told you. I’ll get you to where you want to go.”Mia’s frustration increased, tired of his incessant pretentious acts.“You don’t have tickets either. Stop acting like you can just magically fix everything.”Liam chuckled softly, unfazed by her words. “Maybe you should stop underestimating me.”Mia huffed, but there was something about Liam’s calm demeanor that kept her waiting around a bit longer. Finally, she gave a reluctant nod, “Fine. Let’s go home.”Going back to the Stevens mansion with Liam was a feeling she had to get used to. With Liam around, she constantly felt like her space was being intruded upon and knew it would take some time to get used to that, but if she could not do anything to convince her grandfather about getting a divorce now, time with Liam would be
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Young Banquet
Author’s POVLiam did not need any invitation to attend the banquet. It was being hosted in honor of him after all, and even if he had nothing to do with President Young's daughter’s recovery, he was sure that he could still get in easily.However, upon hearing his claims, Carl burst into laughter. “You? Get into President Young’s banquet?” “This isn’t some joke, Liam.”Yona chimed in, “Why are we even wasting our time listening to this braggart? We all know he doesn’t have any connections to get into any place.”Liam flashed them a cold smirk, ignoring them, and turned toward Mia, his gaze softening as he stared at her, “Would you like to go to the banquet with me?”Mia froze, caught off guard by the question. She did not know if she could trust Liam, but his confidence about getting them in had left her intrigued. Her cheeks flushed as all eyes turned toward her, the room suddenly quiet.“Why don’t you go with your husband to his fantasy banquet.” Yona taunted.“I’m sure he’ll pro
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam Wins
Author’s POVAfter a long ride to the banquet address, filled with tension, the car finally came to a halt in front of the grand estate. Mia stepped out, her heels clicking against the cobblestone driveway. Her hands trembled as she smoothed her dress, her heart still racing.At first, she was not certain this was the right address for the event, but as she turned around, she noticed luxurious cars pulling in, spilling out men in tailored suits and women in shimmering gowns. Yona and Carl sat in the backseat of the car with sour expressions, “This is a waste of time,” Carl grumbled. “He probably got the address off the internet. What’s the plan, Liam? Beg your way in?”Yona scoffed. “Exactly. There’s no way someone like him can get into a place like this.”Despite arriving at the banquet, Mia’s nerves were still wrecking. This was only half the challenge. They still had to get in, or else they’d have to kneel and apologize to her bratty sister, and judging from the league of people
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 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
The Birth of a Dark Creature
Liam hesitated, the weight of Jack’s words pressing down on him like a heavy chain. He knew what he had to do. He knew what was at stake. But the moment he turned, ready to leave, Jack’s voice stopped him again.“I’m not letting you do this alone, Liam.”Liam turned back. Jack had pulled himself up, inching toward him, his steps shaky but determined. His face was pale, his body weak, but his eyes burned with something fierce, something unyielding.Liam sighed tiredly, rubbing his fingers against his temple before giving Jack a once over. His friend was barely standing, yet he was ready to follow him into battle. It would have been admirable if it wasn’t so reckless.“I wish you could fight this one with me,” Liam admitted and then shifted his gaze directly to Jack. “But right now, you’re only a liability.”Jack feigned a smile, placing a hand over his heart in mock offense. “Ouch, that hurts, Liam. Really.”Liam shook his head, exhaling in frustration, but Jack’s smirk faded as he too
Morath Relic
Liam strode through the hospital hallways in a hurry, his boots echoing against the cold floor with purpose and dread. The fluorescent lights above flickered slightly, casting shadows that seemed to shift with every step he took. His heart pounded as he made his way to Jack’s room, but it wasn’t just from urgency, it was also from the lingering weight of his last conversation with Jack. He was awake. He was alive. But the fear in his voice had been unmistakable.As soon as he reached the door to Jack’s room, he pushed it open without hesitation, scanning his eyes around, for any signs of danger.Jack was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, his face pale, his hands gripping the sheets like he was trying to hold onto reality itself. His breathing was ragged, uneven. And then, Liam saw his eyes, wide, unfocused, filled with something he rarely saw in Jack. It was clear that having had a brush with dead, Jack was reflecting on certain conditions and moments of his life.Upon seeing t
Sides Are Drawn
Liam took a deep breath after he ended the call, his pulse still hammering in his ears. His grip on the Zuri blade had tightened for a moment before he forced himself to loosen it. He needed to focus. The rage was still there, simmering beneath the surface, like it was begging to be let loose, but now it had direction, purpose.He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply through his nose, and then exhaled slowly through his mouth as if trying to balance his mind. The old teachings of his master surfaced in his mind, pulling him back to a time before all of this—before the Ogini, before the betrayals, before the bloodshed.“If you do not control the power, it will control you.” His master once told him.Liam swallowed hard as he recalled those words. At the time, he didn’t see why his master had said those words. But right now, he knew that if he was going to survive this war, if he was going to end the Tribunal once and for all, he couldn’t afford to lose himself to the Ogini’s influence. It
Choosing Sides
The silence that followed after Liam snapped Jasper’s neck was deafening. The weight of Jasper’s lifeless body in his grip still felt surreal, as if his mind refused to register what had just happened. He had just taken a life and even when he wanted to blame it on the Ogini’s influence, he couldn’t. He was the one that held on to Jasper’s throat. Even now, his fingers, still wrapped around Jasper’s throat, trembled slightly before they finally loosened, letting the body slump lifelessly to the ground.Liam stared down at him, his breath uneven. A dull ringing filled his ears. His chest rose and fell in panicked, broken breaths. What had he done? He had killed before, but it was always in self defense, but now he had just taken someone’s life in cold blood. Was Evelyn right? Was he already losing control of himself and turning into something else?For a moment, he was numb. The world around him blurred at the edges, his mind struggling to process the reality before him. Jasper was dea
