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
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 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
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
