"Greetings of the moment to you, everyone," Casper Stanley began, his voice steady but with a hint of authority, as he addressed the gathered crowd. "I hope your day has been good. My name is Casper Stanley, the only son of your favorite president, Stanley, and Asper Stanley’s father. I am here today to clarify matters regarding my son Asper’s health condition."

As soon as he finished his statement, the room erupted with a flurry of questions from the eager reporters, their pens poised and cameras flashing. It was exactly what Casper had been dreading. Press conferences were never easy for him. The reporters, like vultures, always came at him with a barrage of questions, eager for the next scandal or piece of information. And they didn’t even have the decency to ask one question at a time, instead throwing multiple questions in rapid succession, as if waiting for a scoop.

"Mr. Casper, what do you mean by Asper Stanley’s health condition? Is it true that his health is in a very bad sta

    The doctors were surprised when they heard the name Dr. Jos. He was here for Asper Stanley? The thought alone sent ripples of disbelief across the room. The Stanleys were undoubtedly a powerful family, but was their influence truly vast enough to bring Dr. Jos, the legendary doctor, to treat Asper? It seemed almost too unreal to be true.Dr. Ras, standing stiffly among the medical team, felt his heart drop to his stomach. A wave of unease washed over him as memories of his past interactions with the Stanleys surfaced. Had he ever unintentionally offended Pa Stanley? Or perhaps Lara Jean? His mind raced with every possible scenario. If the hospital director decided to sack him over some misunderstanding, he could still scrape together a semblance of a life. But if the Stanleys chose to retaliate against him personally, he knew there would be no escape. The Stanleys were not a family one could cross and still walk the earth freely.He recalled how, not too long ago, he had chuckled in p

    Two assistants stood behind Stanley Jos obediently, their postures rigid and professional as they silently awaited his next move. The room was eerily quiet, save for the low hum of machinery in the background. Stanley Jos, dressed in his immaculate white coat, turned his attention to the operating table, where Asper lay, his injuries grievous. His cold, calculating gaze studied the tools before him as his mind worked through the procedure. He adjusted his gloves with precision, each snap of the latex echoing slightly through the room.A while after the Stanleys had left, Stanley Jos picked up his phone and dialed Ethan’s number. The phone rang once before it was picked up."I’m there, Ethan, with Asper. Do you really want me to treat him?" Stanley Jos asked again, his voice steady, though he already knew the answer. He was certain Ethan’s instructions were clear, but it didn’t hurt to ask. Maybe there was something else Ethan needed him to do."He must not die. Also, he shouldn't lose

    "Asper is our only child," Lara Jean whispered, her voice trembling with fear. Her fingers dug into the armrest of the couch as though it could anchor her in this storm. "He said no one will be able to treat Asper except him." The words felt like jagged glass leaving her throat, each syllable laden with dread.Casper stood near the window, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the fading sunlight. The sprawling gardens beyond seemed lifeless, their beauty offering no comfort. He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his eyes followed the shadows lengthening across the lawn, a reflection of the turmoil swirling in his mind.Finally, he spoke, his voice measured but distant. "I don’t know, Lara. The Rays Painting is as important as Asper."Lara’s breath hitched. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him. "What?" she asked, stepping closer to him. Her tone was sharper now, tinged with disbelief. "Casper, are you even listening to yourself? Asper is our son—our only child! How can y

  • The Worthless Son-in-law: Hidden Legend    Incapable James Henry

    James Henry had spent countless hours planning every detail of the heist. The Stanley mansion, with its sprawling grounds and grand architecture, was no easy target, but James had always thrived on challenges. He had studied the guards, observed the mansion’s routines, and even mapped out potential escape routes. The prize, the Rays painting, was worth more than any heist he had ever attempted. The sheer value of it—both monetary and historical—was something that could make any thief rich beyond their wildest dreams.Everything had been set. His men were in place, the plan was flawless, and the target was within his grasp. But as James approached the mansion, the air seemed to thicken with tension. There was something off. The guards’ patrols had doubled. The security systems were more sophisticated than he had anticipated. They had somehow upped their game, and he had no idea how.James stood there, staring at the mansion’s towering gates, frustration seeping through his veins. The t

    The tension in the room deepened as Lucas Henry's gaze met Grey Stanley’s. It wasn’t lost on him—the sharp, hate-filled look Grey shot in his direction. Lucas could feel the animosity practically radiating off the older man. It was evident that he had offended Stanley, but for the sake of the Rays Painting, was there no room for reconciliation?Before Lucas could further contemplate the delicate situation, Dr. Jos stood up, the Rays Painting now in his hands. The room fell into a profound silence as he cast a chilling, almost calculating glance at the people present. Without a word, he strode towards the door.Lara Jean, her heart pounding with urgency, dashed after him, fear creeping into her voice. "Where are you going? What about my son? You still haven’t completed the treatment!" she said, her words tumbling out in a rush. Her eyes locked onto Dr. Jos, who seemed intent on leaving without sparing her a second glance.Dr. Jos did not even acknowledge her plea, his expression as col

    Finally, Stanley Jos shifted his gaze, a sigh escaping his lips. He knew, deep down, that he was no match for Ethan. Despite his occasional bravado and self-assured demeanor, when it came to Ethan, there was always a silent, unspoken acknowledgment of who was in charge. But what truly puzzled him—and annoyed him—was why Ethan had fixed him with such an intense, murderous glare over something so trivial. All he had done was greet Lauren, and here Ethan was, acting like a predator guarding his territory.“Why do you have to look at me like that?” Stanley finally asked, breaking the silence. His voice carried a mixture of irritation and disbelief. “I merely greeted her. That’s all. Is that really something to get worked up over?”Ethan’s face remained impassive, his piercing eyes shifting briefly to Maya, who had been watching them curiously, as if she were witnessing the climax of a drama. He ignored Stanley’s question entirely and addressed the matter at hand. “Did you bring it?” he as

    Suddenly, her demeanor shifted. Her tone grew colder, her expression guarded. "But why don’t you tell me instead? Where have you been all these years, Ethan?" Her voice sharpened. "Don’t think I’m no longer angry with you. I still am. I’ve just been forced to be here, in this mansion, because I’m terrified of what the Stanley family might do to Maya and me. That’s the only reason I agreed to stay."Ethan blinked, taken aback by the sudden change in her tone. He hadn’t expected her to lash out like this, though he knew she had every right to. His lips curled into a faint, rueful smile. "Of course, Lauren," he said. "You deserve answers. I’ll tell you everything. But are you sure you want to hear it now?"Lauren crossed her arms, trying to hide her nervousness. "Now is as good a time as any," she replied, her voice firm but laced with unease. "Maya is asleep, and it’s not time for supper yet. Go ahead."Ethan’s smile widened slightly, though it didn’t reach his eyes. He was pleased she

    As Ethan stepped out of the room, a deep chuckle rumbled from his chest. His plan had been to stay under the radar for a while, quietly working to rebuild his life. The scandal that had damaged both his and Lauren’s reputations still hung like a dark cloud over them, unresolved and threatening. Ethan knew he had to clear both their names and restore the dignity they once held. It wasn’t just for him—it was for Lauren and Maya too. He couldn’t let them suffer any longer because of what had happened.But before all that, there was something Ethan needed to address. Katherine. The questions swirling around her involvement still demanded answers. Had she acted of her own volition, or was there someone pulling her strings? Whatever her role, Ethan knew he couldn’t proceed without confronting her and uncovering the truth.However, all of that would have to wait. His train of thought shifted abruptly as he recalled the audacity of the Stanleys. They had crossed a line by coming to him. If th

  • Happily ever after

    The day Ethan Maverick and his family—Lauren and their daughter, Maya—arrived in the Awaya Kingdom was filled with a mixture of joy, curiosity, and tension. For years, the Awaya royal family had been searching for Ethan, their long-lost heir. When he vanished without a trace, it had seemed as though an invisible force prevented any efforts to find him. But everything changed when Ethan defeated the Demon Lord—a malevolent being whose powers had not only threatened the peace of Valeria but had also obscured Ethan’s existence from his family.The moment the Demon Lord was slain, it was as though a veil had lifted. Ethan’s parents became aware of his survival, his whereabouts, and everything he had accomplished since his return. They learned of his thriving business empire, his formidable strength, and the family he had built. Although years had passed, their desire to reunite with him burned stronger than ever. And now, with the barriers between them broken, the Awaya Kingdom eagerly aw

  • End of the Demon Lord

    Ethan walked away from the circle with an air of authority, each step echoing through the eerie silence that filled the Demon Lord’s lair. His posture was regal—majestic in a way that demanded attention and fear. With his back half-turned, he glanced over his shoulder, his emerald eyes gleaming with both power and disdain."I never knew you were this dumb," he said coldly, his voice laced with mockery. "Don’t you realize how powerful the Awaya power is?" There was an edge of curiosity in his tone, as though he genuinely could not understand how the Demon Lord had underestimated him.The Demon Lord, towering and cloaked in an aura of shadow, narrowed his crimson eyes at Ethan. He took a cautious step backward, his heavy boots scraping against the stone floor. Fear crept into his expression—a rare sight for a being who had once commanded legions of monsters and brought entire kingdoms to ruin. He could sense the undeniable truth: Ethan was no longer the man he had once been. The explosi

  • What if Ethan dies right before her eyes?

    Lauren still couldn’t believe what had just happened. The moment she opened the door, a chilling sight greeted her—Raymond stood there, but something about him was deeply wrong. His usual calm and composed expression was gone, replaced by an eerie coldness. His eyes, once warm brown, were now an unsettling shade of black that seemed to swirl with malice. The sinister gleam in his gaze made her blood run cold. At that moment, Lauren didn’t need anyone to tell her that she had made a terrible mistake—she had opened the door to death.Her heart pounded violently in her chest, and her first instinct was that he would strike immediately—perhaps to kill her and Maya without a second thought. Panic surged through her veins, but she forced herself to move. In a flash, she rushed to grab Maya, clutching her tightly in her arms as though her embrace alone could shield her daughter from whatever horror was about to unfold.She braced herself for an attack. Any second now, she expected Raymond to

  • Raymond is here to help....

    When Raymond reached the lowest floor, he was met with yet another lock requiring a password. His brows furrowed deeply in frustration as he faced the obstacle before him."Why are there so many security measures?" he muttered under his breath, irritation creeping into his voice.Without wasting time, he began pressing various combinations of passwords, his fingers moving swiftly across the keypad. Yet, no matter how many times he tried, the lock remained stubbornly unyielding. His jaw clenched as the familiar beep of rejection echoed through the narrow hallway, further stoking his annoyance.Meanwhile, in the underground room, Lauren was busy plaiting Maya’s hair. The soft hum of the room’s ventilation filled the silence, and the gentle pull of Maya’s silky strands occupied her hands. The quiet atmosphere, however, was shattered by an unfamiliar sound—a faint yet distinct beeping coming from the door’s keypad. At first, she ignored it, assuming it was nothing out of the ordinary, but

  • The Fight

    At the early hours of the third day, the soldiers stationed at the Spring Estate began to move out in disciplined formations, their armor clinking softly as they departed. The once-bustling estate, filled with vigilant warriors, now seemed quieter, more desolate, as their numbers thinned. The two opposing forces—Ethan's men and the army of the Demon Lord—had somehow communicated and reached an agreement to settle their conflict in an open space deep within Valeria’s forest. It was an isolated location, hidden so far within the wilderness that not even the most daring tourist would think to venture there. It was the perfect place for a battle—far from prying eyes and innocent bystanders.Despite the mass departure, Ethan did not leave the estate entirely unguarded. He had given strict orders for a handful of his most trusted soldiers to remain behind. Their sole mission was to protect his wife, Lauren, and their young daughter, Maya. Hidden away in a secret underground chamber beneath

  • The three prominent families are finally ruined!

    “Should I go after him?” Don B asked the moment Raymond slipped away into the darkness, his voice tense with a mix of eagerness and frustration. Despite his earlier failure to subdue Ethan Maverick, the thought of allowing a potential spy to escape gnawed at him.The Demon Lord, still standing with an air of unshakable authority, didn’t respond immediately. His crimson eyes lingered on the jagged hole in the ceiling where Raymond had been lurking moments before. The room’s heavy, oppressive silence made the flickering torchlight feel colder, as though the very air shuddered under his presence.Without turning, he spoke—his voice smooth, deliberate, and void of any concern. “You don’t need to pursue him,” he said, as though the matter had already been decided. “I’ve already planted something in him… something that will make our mission easier in two days time.”Don B frowned slightly, though he was careful to keep his head bowed in submission. His master’s words were cryptic, but he kn

  • Annihilate the entire bloodline

    Ethan didn’t go to where Lauren was. Instead, he only texted her to put her mind at ease. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be by her side—he wanted nothing more than to see her and ensure she and their child were safe—but he couldn’t afford to take any risks. Not now. Not when there might still be spies lurking around the Spring Estate. The last thing he wanted was to give their enemies any opportunity to strike, especially when the stakes were so high.His mind was sharp, constantly calculating every possible outcome. What if there were still people watching them? What if his movements led those enemies straight to his wife and child? No, Ethan wouldn’t allow that to happen. He had to be cautious. One wrong move could cost him everything. For now, he would maintain his distance and rely on his trusted subordinates to keep things under control.Without wasting any time, he summoned Raymond, one of his most loyal and capable men. As soon as Ethan’s command was sent, Raymond arrived swi

  • Controller of the Awaya kingdom power

    They even had the audacity to test him like this.Ethan’s sharp eyes locked onto the tiny red light flickering ominously in the distance. Judging by its position and brightness, he could tell that the enemy wasn’t far away. His instincts, honed through years of experience and survival, immediately kicked in. He knew exactly what this meant—they were being watched. The thought alone made his blood boil.How bold of them to come this close. Did they really think they could challenge him?The soft, rhythmic sound of running water echoed in the background, reminding him that Lauren was still in the bathroom. The steady splashing reassured him that, for now, she was oblivious to the looming danger. Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm despite the growing tension in his chest. There was no time to waste. He needed to act quickly before their enemies could make their next move.Without hesitation, he reached for Lauren’s phone, his fingers moving swiftly as he dialed a nu

  • Dead bodies in Spring Estate

    As soon as Ethan stepped into the sitting room, the distant sounds of battle reached his ears. The sharp clang of weapons, the heavy thud of bodies hitting the ground, and the occasional pained groans echoed through the estate. His eyes darkened as he listened."So they couldn't even wait for me to attack," he muttered, his voice laced with irritation. Without another word, he strode toward the door and stepped outside.The moment he did, a sudden gust of air rushed toward him at an alarming speed. His instincts kicked in instantly, and he dodged with an almost impossible swiftness, his body moving as if he had anticipated the attack long before it came.Standing a few meters away, Bethel’s eyes widened in shock. No one—absolutely no one—had ever been able to evade his strikes before. Yet, this man, Ethan, had just done so without even breaking a sweat. It was inconceivable.Bethel clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the unease that crept into his chest. He had always prided himse
