THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Verdict
As the council convened, Liam and Michael took their seats, poise and ready. They scanned their eyes around the crowd but Jonah was nowhere to be found. However, just then, the entrance door swung open. The entire room stilled, and shifted their attention to the door, watching curiously as Jonah walked in. Liam had picked up the analysis gotten from Dr Carter earlier that morning, and with the results, he was confident that there was no way, Jonah would be let to go free. Although there was still no word from Jack, Liam was a little relieved that the only source of Chrysanthemum left was the storage building and with the court’s ruling, Jonah would be forced to destroy it.Everyone had gathered to witness the last showdown. The council leader, Chairman Reynolds stood up after everyone was settled, and then began, “We have gathered today to address serious allegations about your involvement in Mr Nelson’s schemes.” He paused and turned to Liam, “Mr. Moran, you have evidence?”Liam shi
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Dead Man’s Gambit
As soon as Peter hung up, Jonah hurriedly pushed through the entrance doors of the council chambers, barely aware or concerned about the reporters calling his name. The cold air hit his face, but it did. Toning to clear his spinning thoughts or the reality of his position now. Peter had cut him off, and not only did that mean that his safety net was gone, but judging by his tone, he knew that sooner or later, Peter would be coming for him.He had to make a move and resolve this situation quickly, because if Peter truly turned against him, he wouldn’t just stop at taking away his resources, and protection, he’d take his life too. This thought overwhelmed him so much, he couldn’t even hear his phone vibrating at first. However, just then a group of reporters surrounded him, flashing their cameras and asking questions. Jonah pushed through and made his way to his car. His phone rang again, and this time, he quickly answered it. “Sir?” Collins’ voice came through, wary. Collins, his righ
THE VENGEFUL HEIR You're Next
A few hours later, Liam’s phone finally rang. When he pulled it out, he quickly answered, seeing it was Dr Carter, “What have you found?”Carter hesitated for a moment. “Dr Carter?” Liam repeated.“He’s taking it back to his base,” Evelyn’s words returned, filled with dread. “Liam, if Peter truly intends to use this flower to create a bioweapon, he needs to be stopped. From my research, he has altered these flowers to wield more power. But there’s something strange about the results I got from one of his sites.”Liam’s brows furrowed in suspicion, “What do you mean?” He asked. “I mean, Peter’s not just trying to create a bioweapon. He’s creating something else, something strong and he’s altering its genetics with this plant.”Liam paused for a deep moment, his mind drifting to the many possibilities. Then suddenly his eyes widened in shock. Something clicked, and his memories reeled back. This had just gotten more serious. The secret books he found in his grandfather’s archive had ta
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Knife
Those words sent a deep chill through Liam’s body. He stood frozen, his breath shallow, with the phone still clutched tightly in his hand. Slowly, his eyes narrowed into slits, anger surging through him. Those words replayed in his mind over and over again.“Jonah’s dead. And Jack’s next.”The voice had been distorted, but Liam didn’t need confirmation. He knew exactly who it was — Peter. The realization hit him like a crashing wave. Peter had Jack.Liam paced around, his hands running through his hair as his mind spun in every direction. What would he do? He had been expecting this, but not so soon. He thought he would have more time to prepare, to strategize before rescuing Jack, but Peter had given him none.After a while of pacing around, he finally realized what he needed to do. Right now, the Zuri blade is more important. He needed to safely secure it first, before trying to rescue Jack. If Peter was truly the Oniri, then that weapon was the only thing that could stand in its wa
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Tick-Tock Liam
Liam pulled into the dimly lit alley behind Evelyn’s research lab, shutting off the engine. His heart pounded as he stepped out of the car, the night air thick with tension. Every second counted.The moment he stepped inside the lab, the faint hum of the lab machinery and instruments filled the air. Behind a row of glass vials and metal instruments gleaming under the fluorescent lights stood Evelyn hunched over a microscope, her dark hair pulled into a loose ponytail, her fingers delicately adjusting a slide. As Liam approached her, she didn’t look up. She could tell it was him and without turning, she said, “You’re early.”Liam exhaled sharply, coming around her. “There’s no time to waste.”Evelyn finally met his gaze, her sharp brown eyes searching his face. “I haven’t seen you like this before.”Liam didn’t respond. He didn’t have to. She straightened, crossing her arms with a curious look. “You’re here for the blade.”Liam nodded. “And for answers.”Evelyn let out a slow breath a
THE VENGEFUL HEIR You're Making A Mistake
Liam barely had time to move. Victor swung his fist at Liam fiercely. Liam twisted his body, dodging at the last second, but the sheer force of the blow grazed his jaw. He staggered back a step, his grip tightening around the Zuri blade.Victor chuckled, shaking out his fist. “Still quick on your feet, huh?” His men shifted slightly, their weapons still drawn. Liam wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, tasting blood. He forced himself to stay calm, to control the fury burning inside him. He knew exactly what Victor was doing—baiting him, trying to make him reckless.“I’m giving you one last chance,” Liam said in a steady voice. “Walk away, Victor.”Victor smirked. “You’re still acting like you have the upper hand.” He took a slow step forward, and his men immediately adjusted their positions, their guns pointed directly to Liam’s chest. “Look around Liam, you’re surrounded. And this time there is no one to help you.”Liam shifted his gaze around the men, still maintaining his co
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Human Shield
The second Victor threw the watch, Liam’s instincts alerted him. Move!He didn’t waste any time, he launched himself backward, the Zuri blade gleaming in his grip. As the watch exploded midair, Liam raised his free hand, and an invisible force surrounded him. An energy shield crackling like lightning. The shockwave erupted outward, but the shield held firm, containing the destruction in a tight sphere around him. Sparks and embers fizzled against the barrier before fading into the night.As the smoke cleared, Liam hovered in the air, untouched. Victor’s eyes widened in horror. He knew LiamWas powerful, but this… This couldn’t have been possible. No human should be able to do what he just did. “No… that’s impossible.” He muttered in disbelief.Liam exhaled slowly, lowering his gaze to Victor. “You really thought that would work?” His voice was calm, controlled—but underneath, it was brewing with a flaming temper.Victor took a step back unconsciously and fell from fear, his mind alre
THE VENGEFUL HEIR It Doesn’t Control Me
A low groan cut through the silence, and Liam turned sharply in the direction. His gaze went back to Victor’s motionless body who lay there, barely alive. “He’s done,” Liam muttered, shifting back to Evelyn. “He’s not getting up from that for a while.”Evelyn hesitated, her eyes flicking between Victor’s crumpled form and Liam’s unwavering stance. She wanted to believe him, wanted to trust that this fight was over. But something about the way Liam stood—calm, composed, yet radiating with restrained energy—made her uneasy.Finally, she gave a slow nod and slowly approached him.Liam exhaled and finally lowered the Zuri blade. The weight of everything settling onto his shoulders. He turned to Evelyn, and what he saw made something in his chest tighten. Fear.But it was not of Victor. It was of him. It was quick—just a flicker in her expression—but it was there. A hesitation in the way she looked at him. The way she had taken a small step back without even realizing it.Liam forced him

Mara
Evelyn frowned and turned her face away the moment Darius looked at her, pride glowing behind his eyes. Her shoulders were tense, her jaw locked tight. “You crossed a line,” she muttered, barely louder than a breath.Darius blinked in a dismissive way, “She volunteered.”“She’s still a human being,” Evelyn snapped, rounding on him now. “You don’t get to experiment on people and hide behind consent like it’s a shield. You think because she said yes, that makes it clean?”“She chose this,” Darius replied calmly. “She wanted to be useful.”“Useful?” Evelyn’s voice rose. “Is that what we’re calling this now? Weaponizing people, locking them in chambers like test subjects—useful?”Liam stood still, watching the tension crackle between them. He didn’t speak, didn’t breathe. His gaze remained fixed on the woman now standing inside the slowly opening chamber. She was curled around with mist, her form slowly becoming clearer with every breath she took.Jack stepped subtly to the side, closer t
A New Creation
The cheers were still echoing faintly in the room, until Darius stepped forward. The noise died instantly, like someone had flipped a switch. Every eye turned to him. He looked directly at Liam, his expression unreadable, and then slowly, he extended his hand.Liam stared at it for a moment, contemplating on what it meant if he took it. The silence was deafening now—not tense, but waiting.His hand twitched at his side, unable to easily shake Darius‘. He needed these people. He needed their knowledge, their strength, their will to fight. But he also knew what Peter was capable of. He had seen people broken and remade because of a mad man’s ambitions. If he failed, these people, these survivors, would be the next victims.His fingers flexed uneasily. Could he really ask this of them?Evelyn shifted beside him, then softly cleared her throat.Liam turned his head slightly, meeting her gaze. She didn’t say a word, but he saw it in her eyes. Trust them. Trust yourself. With a deep breat
A Rebellion Forms
The sky was still dark when Liam, Jack, and Evelyn pulled out of the driveway. It was early in the morning and Evelyn had suggested that they made the trip before Peter’s men could be active. Rain drizzled lightly, a soft mist clinging to the windows as they drove to the rebel group’s hidden location. The silence in the car was thick, only the hum of the engine and the occasional sigh from Jack in the backseat filled the space.Liam drove with one hand on the wheel, the other clenched against his thigh. “You’re sure this is the only way?” He asked, glancing at Evelyn.“Yes,” Evelyn said from the passenger seat, her eyes fixed directly on the road ahead. “If we go to the Tribunal directly, we’ll be walking into a trap. But where we’re going… they’re not part of that world anymore.”Jack leaned forward. “Where exactly are we going?”Evelyn didn’t answer right away. She just reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a worn slip of paper. “Take the next left,” she said quietly.Although
The Regroup
The rain hadn’t let up since morning. It was the next day after Peter escaped with the Morath Relic. Liam and Jack had returned to Evelyn’s house. It was a slow morning. The rain beat against the windows of Evelyn’s old house like a warning—steady, relentless, and cold. But inside, the warmth of the crackling fireplace did little to ease the weight pressing on Liam’s shoulders.He sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, staring into the flames, watching mindlessly as they crackled, lost in thought. Jack leaned against the wall near the window, quietly, his arms crossed, eyes flicking between the storm outside and the silence inside. Evelyn moved around the room quietly, her presence as calming as it was commanding, her white lab coat flaring behind her like a cape.“So,” Jack finally said, breaking the silence, “he has the relic now.”Liam nodded slowly. “And he used it. I felt it—like a ripple tearing through the air.”Evelyn returned to the center of the room, setting dow
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
