“And what if we do? You can't force us to kneel” a hot-tempered parent screamed.

“Whatever you owe my son, you will pay, I advise you to kowtow now, or you will lose a fortune and still kowtow. The choice is yours, “Shantel who has been silently nodding her head at her son's tactics said coldly.

“Whatever, I don't believe that Kim alone will cause any harm to all of us here, “the same parents echoed as they departed.

“Let's go, Kim, your siblings are all eager to see you”

“You will get that kowtow Kim, I will make sure of it," Jayce said from the side.

“It's okay, you don't have to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, I will handle it my way” Kim said in reply 

“Wait!!! Kim, you should explain to us what is going on” Vera said as she noticed that they were the only people left

“Explain, what are you, you are not my mother nor my guardian nor even my enemy, you are a stranger, what explanation should I give to you”

“Kim, you bastard, this is the reason we abandoned you, you are simply too cocky, don't think that because you landed on some good cash, you have arrived. Let me tell you, without parents you are incomplete, people will scoff at you” Vera said venomously.

“Mom's right Kim, you had such a good deal, how could you are not present to mom and dad, instead you hide it from them, look at the humiliation they survived because of you”

“Kim, you really disappointed me with such a lack of filial piety. Just hand over the documents of the school and I will announce to the world that you are my adopted son” Jones chipped in after observing Kim for some time. 

“Piff! Haha haha, my belly, this is so funny. Kim, are this people for real” 

“stop laughing in my head, zero, I'm about to lose control of my mouth”

“Kim, do you want to see your siblings, they are at home, your fourth bro in particular made you a large feast, hurry home before it cools” 

“Thanks, Kim said, he still had no idea how to address Jayce”

“Hmmm, go with your mother”Jayce said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes” it's all my fault that we lost him, I hope he warms up to the family quickly”

Kim quickly left the auditorium with Shantel, from start to finish he didn't even glance at the larkens which infuriated the Larkens.

“Kim, you…. Don't you dare” Jayce cut Vera off, his powerful aura radiating out which scared Vera so much that she also pees herself.

Jayce has long been itching to destroy all those who badmouthed his son, but he was afraid that his son will be scared to see this side of him, so he has been controlling himself, but now he has no scruples since Kim is gone.

“Now, let's start, in total you badmouthed my son a total of 12 times during the last three hours, as his father to ought to do something, don't you agree” Jayce said as he put on the dark black gloves with spikes on them that were handed over to his assistant

“What are you trying to do?”Jones stepped back in fear as he saw Jayce approaching, he was just a weak middle-aged man who has been hollowed out by wine and women. He was obviously no match for Jayce who adopted a serious training routine.

“This”Jayce said as he threw a punch at Jones, he beat him up until Jones face was swollen like a pig head.

“Good, you look better this way, at least people will be known what family you come from at a glance, pig head"

“And, this is not over, I am going to investigate everything you have done to my son, you seem to know him quite well, you better pray you didn't do anything out of line or else it won't be as simple as beating you up”Kim said as he left the auditorium.

“What took you so long, we were waiting for you”Shantel chastised Jayce lightly when he got into the car.

“Nothing, I just had a small chat with Jones"Jayce smiled, but Kim could be extremely sensitive to blood could detect the faint smell of blood

“Wow, looks like this, my cheap daddy is anything but weak”Kim thought warmly, it felt so good to have someone who cares about you.

“Kim, I am sorry we weren't there for you during the most important times of your life. When I was on a vacation in white city 17 years,I was attacked by your father's business enemies. In other to protect you, I had to give birth to you in that round down hospital but shortly after that, I couldn't find you, a lot of women gave birth that day so you were misplaced”

“Kim, I never stopped searching for you, the larkens who were with a child that same time lost their child in death too. The only person left was miller, but from the time I set my eyes on that kid I knew he could never be mine”

“Kim, I am sorry, please forgive mommy…." The previously strong woman earlier collapsed in tears as she hugged Kim. No matter how strong she was, at the end she is still a mother who just found her child.

" It's okay, shush, it's okay, I am not angry, don't cry anymore, Mom”Kim said with tears in his eyes. When Shantel was talking, he could feel it was from her heart, there was no coercion by any external force. That when Kim decided that he was now part of the slates.

“Mom and Dad, it's okay, I don't blame any of you, rather than dwelling on the past, can you tell me about my siblings?”Kim smiled.

“What, yes, thank you baby, mom is here, mom is always with you” Shantel said as she recovered from the shock.”Ah! My son called me mommy”

    The Invitation Letter"WTF! What is that?" Kim asked, looking surprised as he pointed to the envelope in Zero's hand.Zero didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared at the envelope and muttered, "The ten families."Curious, Kim stepped closer to Zero and gently turned him around. "Zero, what did you say? Who are the ten families?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.Zero hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's just a letter of Visitation."Kim furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of Zero's cryptic answer. "Visitation? What do you mean?" he asked, still puzzled.Zero sighed, reluctant to delve into further explanation. He knew that when he started explaining, it might definitely lead to more questions that he was avoiding. "It's an invitation from a group of influential families in the city. They want to meet with the slate family," he explained vaguely.Kim's curiosity piqued even more. "Why do they want to meet with us?" he inquired

    AFTERMATH OF THE WAR As Miller knelt down, beaten and broken, he looked up at Kim with desperate eyes. The darkness had been stripped from him, leaving him vulnerable and weak. But his heart was still filled with hatred. He knew his time was running out. But he wanted to buy more time to run. "Kim... please... spare me," he gasped, his voice trembling. "I can change... I can do better..." Kim's heart hurt at the sight of his once-fierce rival now pleading for mercy. Memories of the destruction and chaos Miller had caused flashed through his mind. He thought of the countless lives lost, the families torn apart, and the cities reduced to rubble. He knew that sparing Miller might lead to more suffering and devastation in the future.

His ego was bruised.His roars echoed through the empty chamber, filled with rage and frustration. He knew Kim was training and preparing, but he never thought Kim would actually defeat him. With the amount of power he has? “How did this happen?” Miller shouted into the void. “The ancestor told me Kim wouldn't be any match for my powers, yet he beat me without even getting started. How can that be? Did he deceive me to set me up?”He paced back and forth, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and anger. “What kind of power does Kim possess? Why must he always be more than me in everything? Stronger, richer, more loved, more successful, and now with a higher power? Why must it always be Kim?”His frustration grew, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, cursing the invisible ancestor. “How can I

The news was filled with constant updates on the destruction, showing footage of Miller laughing maniacally as he wreaked havoc."He’s unstoppable!" one news anchor exclaimed, her voice filled with panic. "Miller is destroying everything in sight, and nothing seems to be able to stop him."The police, army, and navy were all deployed to contain the situation, but it was futile. Bullets and artillery had no effect on Miller. Instead, he seemed to draw power from their attempts to harm him. He attacked with ruthless efficiency, and many who faced him did not survive.Amidst the chaos, Kim was on his honeymoon with Zoey. They were enjoying a rare moment of peace when Kim’s phone rang. It was his boss."Kim, we need you," his boss said urgently. "Miller is causing mass destruction. We’ve tried ever
