The Death Lord Is Back Chapter one
“Mr. Kael, sir!” The scrawny worker stumbled into the dusty office, clutching his cap like a lifeline. “The mafia boss… uh, he’s here again. Says it’s urgent.”Kael leaned back in his worn-out recliner, his boots propped on the desk. “Let him in. And bring me some tea. Extra sugar. You know I hate bitter interruptions.”“Yes, sir!” The worker bolted, nearly tripping over a bucket.Moments later, the towering mafia kingpin entered, his usual swagger noticeably absent. His crisp suit was drenched in sweat, and his hands trembled slightly as he carried a tray with two steaming cups.“Mr. Kael,” the kingpin began, his voice hesitant, “I… I’ve brought your coffee.”Kael raised an eyebrow. “Coffee? Did I ask for coffee? Or do you want me to personally teach you how to clean the septic tank next time?”The kingpin’s face turned redder than a lobster in boiling water. “No, sir! I—I cleaned all the toilets myself as you ordered. Spotless! You could eat off them!”Kael tilted his head, his

As Selene stormed out, the scrawny worker peeked in, his face pale. “Uh, sir, the atmosphere got… colder.”Kael sighed. “Back to work. And tell the Reaper and Butcher to stop swinging from the ropes like monkeys.”The scrawny man nodded, then paused. “A pigeon just delivered this. It’s from your father.”Kael opened the letter, his expression hardening as he read. The last line caught his attention: “Your running is over. Come home.”The scrawny worker hesitated at the front of the group, nervously wringing his cap. “Uh, boss… is everything okay? You look… um, tense.”Kael leaned back with a sigh, his expression unreadable. “I have to leave.”The workers exchanged startled glances.“Leave? You? But who’ll keep the peace?” someone blurted out.Kael raised an eyebrow. “If you lot can’t stop fighting without me around, I’ll build a pit before I go and throw all of you in it. Permanently.”The yard went silent. Even the Reaper and Butcher, still recovering from their earlier punishm

Kael arrived at the bustling airport, his coat slung over one shoulder and his hands stuffed casually into his pockets. He scanned the terminal, a faint smirk tugging at his lips when he spotted Selene and her two towering bodyguards ahead. She hadn’t noticed him yet, which gave him the luxury of bracing himself for what he knew was coming.“Kael!” Selene’s sharp voice cut through the crowd as she turned and locked eyes with him. Her expression shifted from confusion to barely concealed annoyance. “Are you following me now? Can’t stand being stuck in your dirt pile?”Kael strode closer, his demeanor unbothered. “Good to see you too, Selene. And here I thought airports were for public use.”“Public use doesn’t mean stalking me,” she snapped, her hands clenched into fists. “What are you doing here? Looking to play the role of a hero again?”Kael tilted his head, a ghost of a smile on his face. “Heroes chase glory. I chase results. You wouldn’t understand.”One of her bodyguards l

The morning sun cast long shadows across the pristine driveway as Marcus, a towering figure known throughout the criminal underworld, bowed deeply before Kael. His expensive suit caught the light as he lowered his head with unprecedented respect."My lord Kael, it is my greatest honor to finally meet you. Your reputation precedes you, even in our circles."Kael shifted uncomfortably, his simple attire a stark contrast to Marcus's luxury. "Please, such formality isn't necessary.""I must insist on driving you personally," Marcus gestured to a gleaming black Rolls-Royce, its polished surface reflecting the morning light. "Yorkshire Island awaits, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with your safety."During the drive along the coastal road, Marcus's voice took on a reverent tone. "The villa belongs to Jaxier Cult—the legendary King of Battle. He's offered it for your exclusive use.""Jaxier Cult?" Kael's eyes narrowed, recognition flickering across his face.

Kael stood at the grand mansion, a stark contrast to his simple attire and calm demeanor. The doors opened, and Evangeline’s father, Mr. Holsten, greeted him warmly, his face lighting up.“Kael, my boy, come in, come in!” he exclaimed, gripping Kael’s hand firmly. “I’m glad you came.”Kael nodded respectfully. “Thank you for having me, sir.”The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their exchange as Evangeline entered the room. Her sharp gaze locked onto Kael, her expression twisting with irritation.“What is he doing here?” she demanded, her voice laced with contempt. “Father, didn’t I make it clear yesterday? I’m not agreeing to this ridiculous arrangement!”Before her father could respond, her mother appeared, her face mirroring her daughter’s disdain. “Really, Holsten? Inviting him into our home again? How much more humiliation are you planning to bring upon this family?”Kael’s expression remained calm, though his eyes flickered briefly with an unreadable emotion.“Evange

The tension in the room was palpable as Kael and Evangeline stepped through the doors of her family home. Standing in the middle of the living room was Mike Smith, a man with a confident smirk and an air of entitlement. He turned the moment he heard the footsteps, his expression darkening when he saw Kael.“What the hell is he doing here?” Mike sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “Don’t tell me the rumors are true.”Evangeline’s mother, Margaret, folded her arms and sighed dramatically. “Unfortunately, they are. Can you believe it? My daughter, married to him of all people.” She gestured toward Kael as if he were a stain on the rug.Kael remained calm, his face betraying no emotion.Mike’s gaze darted between Evangeline and Kael. “This has to be a joke, Evangeline. You married this guy? Did your father hold you at gunpoint?”Evangeline shot her father a venomous glare. “Might as well have. Isn’t that right, Father?”“Evangeline—” her father began, but she cut him off.“

Their conversation was interrupted by a loud knock at the door which made Margaret jump. “Who on earth—”Before she could finish, one of the mobsters pushed the door open. Their leader, a tall man with a scar running down his cheek, stepped inside with a smug grin.“Mr. Holsten,” the man drawled, his voice thick with menace. “It’s time to settle your debt.”Mr. Holsten’s face turned red with anger. “What are you talking about, Carlos? The loan isn’t due for another six months!”Carlos shrugged casually. “The boss has decided he wants his money now. You see, patience isn’t really his strong suit.”Margaret gasped. “This is outrageous! You can’t just change the terms like this.”“We can and we have,” Carlos said with a smirk. “Now, pay up.”Evangeline stepped forward, her face a mixture of defiance and disbelief. “This is absurd! You know we don’t have that kind of money lying around.”Carlos glanced at her, his eyes lingering in a way that made her skin crawl. “Ah, Evangeline

Margaret paced back and forth in the Ravol family’s grand living room, her face flushed with anger. “This is all your fault, Holsten! You’re the one who insisted on making Kael our son-in-law! Look at what he’s brought us. I wouldn’t have even hired him as a servant, and now he’s nothing but trouble!”Holsten, slumped in a chair, rubbed his temples. “Enough, Margaret. It’s not the time to argue. The biggest gang in the city has been provoked because of him. They won’t just let this go. Retaliation is inevitable.”Evangelene, sitting quietly by the window, wrung her hands nervously. “What do we do now? Who will save us from this mess?”Kael, leaning casually against the doorframe, remained calm. His lips curled into a faint smirk. “I’ve already told you, I can handle it.”Margaret turned on him with a venomous glare. “Handle it? You? Don’t make me laugh. You’ve done nothing but cause problems since the day you stepped into this house. Leave it to someone capable, like Mike.”At that mo

Kael's footsteps echoed through the silent room as he walked toward the door. At the threshold, he paused for a final glance.One of his dying victims gasped out, "Who... what are you?"Kael didn't answer, simply letting the heavy door close behind him.Selena paced outside under the dim light of the streetlamps, her boots crunching against the gravel. She muttered under her breath, her hands twitching at her sides. “What’s taking so long? There should’ve been resistance by now. This quiet is unnatural.”One of her soldiers approached, saluting sharply. “Commander, the perimeter is secure. No signs of movement inside.”Selena narrowed her eyes. “No signs? That doesn’t make sense. Victor wouldn’t give up without a fight. Did anyone even hear gunfire?”The soldier hesitated. “No, ma’am. Not a single shot. It’s... eerily quiet.”Her jaw clenched. “Eerily quiet isn’t what I want to hear. Get ready. We’re going in.”“Yes, ma’am.” The soldier stepped back, issuing orders to the rest of the

Kael shook his head, the corners of his lips curling into a slight smirk as he walked to a secluded corner away from Selena’s troops. They were busy trying to break through the defenses of Victor’s manor, but for Kael, it was a trivial matter. “Attack again!”The heavily guarded mansion didn’t even faze him. It was like a playground to him, a place he could come and go without breaking a sweat.He slipped through the shadows with ease, dodging the few guards who were too distracted by their orders to notice his presence. “Try harder!”The soldiers outside were busy trying to breach the gates, leaving the manor’s interior nearly deserted. Kael grinned to himself as he moved through the corridors, his footsteps silent, his body a blur as he navigated the mansion.Eventually, he found his way to the innermost room, a large, lavishly furnished space. At the center of it sat a fat man—Victor Nelson himself. He was lounging in a leather chair, a cigar dangling from his mouth, looking e

Kael stepped out of the taxi, immediately taking in the military vehicles and armed personnel surrounding the mansion. Before he could fully assess the situation, a familiar voice cut through the air."What the hell are you doing here?" Selena's sharp tone matched her frown as she strode toward him.Her eyes tracked the departing taxi, and something shifted in her expression. "A taxi... interesting," she muttered, more to herself than to him. "And here I thought... but no, Marcus's people only travel in those custom Rolls-Royces.""Is there a law against taking taxis now, Selene?" Kael asked mildly."Don't play games with me. Why are you here? Following me again?" She crossed her arms, her military uniform crisp in the afternoon sun. "This isn't some casino where you can hide behind your cards when things get rough. We're about to take down Victor 'Crocodile' Nelson."Kael's eyebrows rose slightly at the name. "Nelson?""Yes, Nelson. The most dangerous criminal in the city." She sneer
