Brian, watching from behind the gate, stood frozen in place, his eyes wide with disbelief. His perfect day had turned into a nightmare. How could this be happening? No one had ever dared to defy the Carter family so openly.

The other members of the family who had gathered at the gate were equally as dumbfounded, their faces pale with fear. None of them dared to approach Ethan after witnessing how effortlessly he had dismantled their security team.

Ethan, still seated in the truck, smirked at their cowardice. “Hmph, pathetic,” he muttered, tossing the coins in his hand with a smug grin.

For a moment, there was only silence. The once proud Carters were left speechless, their power and influence seemingly meaningless in the face of this single young man who had single-handedly rendered their defenses useless.

After dealing with the guards, Ethan remained where he was, seated in the truck’s front seat, still blocking the entrance. Chris had ordered him to ensure that no one left the Cart

    The young man outside their gate—some unknown thug in a construction truck—had blocked the main entrance to the Carter estate, and worse, he had effortlessly taken down all their security guards. This wasn’t some ordinary street rat; whoever he was, he had come prepared. Benjamin stopped at the wide bay window, gazing out over the sprawling grounds of the estate. Even from this distance, he could see the hulking silhouette of the construction truck parked defiantly at the gate. It hadn’t moved for hours, and the man inside hadn’t made any demands—he was simply there, waiting. The air around the estate felt thick with impending chaos, and Benjamin hated the feeling of being out of control. The Carter family had always thrived on power, on dominance over others, but now, their vulnerability was exposed for all to see. With every passing minute, the tension within the household escalated. The security guards had been dispatched quickly, and now the family huddled inside, anxiously awai

    There was an immediate murmur of relief among the Carters. The Johnson family were one of the low tier elite families in Brooklyn and the Carter family closet neighbors. Both Benjamin Carter and Liam Johnson, The head of Johnson family grew up together as close friends so Benjamin thought it would be convenient to ask if his friend could help him out of this problem. Benjamin wasted no time in making the call. His phone rang several times before a gruff voice answered on the other end. “What is it ?” Liam Johnson asked as soon as he picked up the phone call. Benjamin sensed the irritation in Liam Johnson’s voice but he ignored it “Liam, it’s Benjamin Carter.” There was a beat of silence before Liam Johnson, replied, “What do you want? I don’t have time for pleasantries.” Benjamin swallowed his pride, forcing a smile into his voice. “We’ve encountered a bit of a situation. A young man—some thug—has blocked the entrance to our estate with a construction truck. He’s taken out al

    Chris turned toward Ethan and spoke in a low, even tone. “Ram the truck into the house.”Ethan’s eyes lit up with an almost childlike glee, his grin widening. “With pleasure.”Without hesitation, Ethan waved at the driver of the construction truck. The hulking vehicle’s engine roared to life, its mechanical growl sending a shiver through the mansion. The truck lurched forward, picking up speed as it barreled straight toward the Carter estate’s front gate.The gate, already bent from earlier, crumpled completely under the force of the truck’s impact. The walls groaned as the truck pushed through, bricks tumbling to the ground in a chaotic cascade of destruction. The carefully manicured lawn was torn to shreds as the truck plowed ahead, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.Screams erupted from the Carters who had been standing near the entrance, watching in horror as their once-imposing estate was reduced to rubble. Some ran for cover, while others stood frozen, too shocked to mo

    Chris stopped in his tracks, just a few feet away from Brian now. His eyes, dark and unreadable, fixed on Brian with a coldness that sent a shiver down his spine. For a moment, there was only silence, a thick, tense silence that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. The other Carters, who had gathered at the scene, stood frozen, unsure of what would happen next.Then, with a slow, deliberate motion, Chris spoke, his voice a low growl that echoed in the air. “The Johnsons?” He let out a mirthless chuckle. “Do you really think the they are going to save you, Eric?”Brian’s mouth opened, but no words came out. He had always relied on the family’s connections to get them out of tough situations, and the Hales had been a source of protection for years. But something in Chris’s demeanor—his absolute certainty—made Brian hesitate. There was something different about this man. He wasn’t the weak, downtrodden son-in-law they had once disdained.Chris took a step closer, his eyes narrowing. “T

    Brian’s face twisted in confusion. “What? What the hell are you talking about?” he muttered and turned to look at Benjamin who also had the same confused look on his face.“What rubbish are you yabbying about? Liam promised to send you guards to help us out.” Benjamin remarked in confusion.“You are mistaken, Patriarch Benjamin.” The lead man straightened, his expression hardening. “The Johnsons are no longer interested in protecting the Carters. You’re on your own.”The words hit Benjamin like a punch to the gut. His knees buckled slightly, and he grabbed at the air, as if trying to hold onto some sense of reality. “No… that’s not possible,” he muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. “The Johnson…… they’ve always been our allies…”“Since when have we been allies,” the lead man said, his voice cold and final. Benjamin’s mouth opened, but no sound came out. He stumbled backward, his face pale and stricken, as if the very ground beneath him had just crumbled away. Indeed, it was true

    Chris’s gaze shifted to Brian, his expression unreadable. “You’re wrong, Brian. I have more power than you can imagine. And I’m here to make sure the Carters pay for what they’ve done.”“You damned bastard! What wrong have we done? We only took back what was ours?” Brian hollered arrogantly still feeling that the Carters actions were justified.Ethan chuckled knowing that Brian was digging a deeper pit for himself.“If you think this is about the house alone then I must let you know that you are wrong. It so much more than that or did you think that you nemesis wouldn't catch up to you someday.”Chris said and then signalled to Ethan.Ethan nodded and threw a white envelope to the ground.With trembling hands, Brian crouched down and opened the seal on the envelope. Inside, were bloodied pictures of members of the Ambrose family being tortured in an underground prison.These were the individuals who had once crossed Chris. People who had thought they were untouchable, just like

    Chris, standing tall in the center of the chaos, remained unfazed by the fury directed his way. He crossed his arms, a slow, cold smirk playing on his lips. “How despicable!...You all know it’s malicious to destroy someone's home, don’t you?” His voice was sharp and cold, cutting through the noise like a knife. “Then you should understand—it was the Carter family that started this first. Didn't you stop to think that it was right to inform us before demolishing the house we lived in?What do you think would have happened if we weren't able to get out of the house fast enough?I’m simply returning back the favors…..”“As for the pictures, I can assure that they are authentic. The Ambrose family is now in ruins and so will your Carter household……” he paused. Chris’s eyes scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on Eric. For a moment, their eyes met, and Chris saw something there—guilt, fear. Eric quickly looked away, but Chris already knew before he continued speaking… “ Courtesy of both Er

    Eric looked even more terrified now. His mind raced back to that morning. At that moment, he felt it was a good idea and had bragged about it to his father, confident that the demolition would finally get rid of the lingering connection between the Carters and Chris’s family. But now, as he looked at the rage simmering in Chris’s eyes, he realized they might have pushed things too farIn Fact,he was still a bit traumatized by the beating he got from Chris at the warehouse the previous day. Even Benjamin furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled by Chris’s words. But standing at the back, Brian’s nervousness grew more pronounced. Sweat beaded at his temples as he shifted uncomfortably. He knew exactly what Chris was talking about and he shamelessly tried to avoid the gazes of others.Chris’s eyes swept over the Carters, watching their confusion and slowly dawning realization. He caught the flicker of guilt and fear in Brian’s eyes and knew he had struck a nerve. “Father, wait… you have t

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”

    Moments later, Emma was led into the VIP section. At the far end of the lounge, seated in an opulent leather chair, was Dexter. The casino manager was a bald, heavyset man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. A cigar smoldered between his fingers, and a smug smirk played on his lips as he regarded Emma. “Well, well,” Dexter drawled, taking a slow drag from his cigar. “If it isn’t the dutiful daughter.” Emma stepped forward, pulling out the envelope of cash. “I’m here to pay my father’s debt. This should cover everything.” With a surprised expression on his face, Dexter leaned forward slightly, taking the envelope with feigned interest. He flipped through the bills before exhaling a dramatic sigh. “This is cute,” he said, tossing the money onto the table carelessly. “But it’s not enough.” Emma’s stomach dropped. “What? That’s the full amount he owed!” Dexter shrugged. “I don’t know what my account manager told you but I presume you are smart enough to do the maths yourself. Th

    Inside the lobby, the atmosphere was refined—polished marble floors reflected the golden glow of ornate chandeliers, and well-dressed guests moved about with an air of sophistication. Chris quickly spotted the woman from earlier—Emma. She was engaged in a heated exchange with the receptionist at the front desk. Her posture was tense, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Chris approached quietly, his commanding presence drawing immediate attention. “Is there a problem here?” His voice was steady but firm, cutting through the tension like a blade. Emma turned abruptly at the sound of his voice. The moment their eyes met, recognition dawned on her face. “You….” She stated in surprise. “What are you doing here, Mr….?” “Chris….My name is Chris.” Chris gave her a slight nod. “We meet again.” A few weeks ago, Emma’s father had been struck by a car—an unfortunate incident involving Matt Turner, Eva’s cousin. Chris had been the one to rush the old man to the hospital and cover a

    Chris let out a slow breath, controlling the simmering anger beneath his exterior. He had expected Sean to be a problem—an arrogant fool with no self-awareness—but Edward? Attempting to take Eva by force was an entirely different matter. That was an offense that would not go unanswered. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand over his jaw before speaking again. “How did Eva handle it?” Elliot hesitated briefly before responding. “Miss Carter maintained her composure, sir. She did not allow the incident to affect her publicly. However, based on what I gathered from Miss Amanda, she barely slept last night.” Chris’s fingers stilled. He had been halfway across the world while Eva was dealing with this. And yet, when he returned, she had treated him with cold disdain. “Speaking of Eva,” Chris murmured, eyes narrowing slightly. “She was furious with me this morning. I don’t understand why.” Elliot remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words. “Mr. Chairman, Mis

    Meanwhile, Chris watched in silence as Eva’s car disappeared down the driveway, her frustration still palpable even from a distance. He stood there for a moment, hands in his pockets, frowning slightly as he replayed their brief interaction in his mind. She had barely looked at him. Hadn’t even given him a chance to explain himself. He sighed, running a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone and dialing a number. It barely rang twice before Ethan’s voice came through the receiver. "Boss?" "Come pick me up at the mansion. We're heading to Pegasus Enterprise," Chris said briskly. Ethan didn’t question it. "On my way." Chris ended the call and turned back toward the house, stepping inside to grab a black coat from the hallway rack. Bruce was in the dining room, silently sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper. The older man barely spared Chris a glance, though there was the faintest glint of amusement in his eyes. Chris ignored it. He wasn’t in the mood for
