The helicopter flew into the most top-tier villa district in the country.

On this lofty mountain stand twenty luxurious villas in a scattered pattern. The higher the location of the villa, the more exalted and unfathomable the owner's status.

There are even rumors that the owner of the No.1 villa at the mountaintop is Blackwood Family, the most powerful family in the world!

And Kai? The helicopter soared over the entire mountain and brought him to the No.1 villa. He was utterly astounded! 

The scene before his eyes was something he'd only seen in movies!

A sprawling estate stretching as far as the eye could see, with fountains, sculptures, a swimming pool, and rows of sharply dressed men standing at attention.

Was he about to shoot the next 007 sequel? 

Then...movement.

A middle-aged man emerged, pushing a wheelchair forward.

In one synchronized motion, the men in black bowed, and shouted.

"Hello, Master.”

The old man raised his hand in a gesture, his gaze lingering on Kai, enigmatic and inscrutable. Then, he began, "I'm Atlas Blackwood, founder of Orion Global" He paused, as if weighing how to frame his next words. "And your grandfather."

Kai was struck dumb. For a fleeting second, he thought his ears had deceived him.

How could Atlas Blackwood, that most formidable figure, assert that he, a mere nobody, was his grandson?

That is crazy!

The Blackwood Family owns the world!

Their business empire spans nearly 80% of the countries on Earth!

Even in the most remote island nations, people have heard of the might of Orion Group and used their products!

Kai’s breath caught.

"Sorry, sir. But you must have the wrong person."

"I'm just an orphan, and my mother never told me I had any relatives while she was alive."

His hands nervously rubbed the seams of his trousers. It indeed took courage to reject such an all - powerful figure. 

"Give it to him", Atlas Blackwood ordered.

Then, one of the suited men stepped forward, holding out an envelope.

Kai’s heart pounded.

The man bowed slightly. “Sir, this is the test result.”

Paternity Test Result: 99.99% Match.

Atlas Blackwood was his grandfather!

The truth settled in his stomach, heavy, suffocating.

He should feel relieved. But all he felt was anger.

His hands clenched around the paper, crumpling the edges. Where were they? When his mother cried at night? When he broke his back just to keep them alive?

His chest burned. Why now? Why after she was gone?

Then…Cassius Reed stepped forward.

The richest man in Dominus City. A mogul who controlled financial institutions worldwide. A man who had no reason to bow to anyone.

Before Kai, he inclined his head slightly.

“Kai.” Cassius’s voice was steady, yet filled with something rare. Regret. “I owe you an apology.”

Kai stiffened.

Cassius continued, “Your mother suffered because of our mistakes. We failed to protect her. And in doing so, we failed you.”

Kai let out a sharp breath.

But his voice came out hollow. “Why now?”

Cassius held his gaze, unwavering. “Because we finally found you.”

It's too late.Kai’s jaw clenched. His world had been shattered and rebuilt in a single moment, and yet, he wasn’t sure if he wanted any of this.

The wealth. The power. The name.

What did it mean if the one person who mattered most…his mother…wasn’t here to see it?

And yet…

His fingers loosened.

For the first time in his life, he wasn’t just a nobody.

Atlas suddenly exhaled, drawing Kai’s attention from Cassius. “I must apologize too, for all you’ve been through. As your grandfather, I’ll do anything to make it up to you.”

The entire room fell silent.

“That is why I’ve made a decision.” His gaze locked onto Kai’s. “From today onward, all my enterprises and properties in Dominus City will be transferred under your name.”

A murmur rippled through the gathered elites.

Kai’s mind reeled. He had gone from a man struggling for survival to inheriting a fortune that could shift the tides of an entire economy.

Cassius, watching closely, added in a measured tone, “This is only the beginning.” He gestured around them. “What you will inherit from your grandfather is far greater than just Dominus City. This is simply the first step.”

A fortune beyond his imagination. And this was just the start?

Atlas continued, “Three days later, there will be a promotion dinner held in your honor . You will be officially introduced to the world.”

Before he could respond, a man stepped forward. A well known man.

Thane Jackson. One of Atlas’s most trusted subordinates. Thane extended a sleek black card to him with both hands.

Kai frowned. “And what is this?”

The moment he held it up, murmurs spread like wildfire through the room. Even some of the billionaires in attendance looked at the card with undeniable respect.

“An unlimited black credit card.” Thane continued, “It has no spending limit and holds a deposit beyond calculation. But more than that...it allows you access to any high-end establishment in the world, unrestricted.”

His entire life, he had struggled to afford basic survival.

Now, in his hand, he held more power than most men could ever dream of.

Atlas watched him carefully.

“There’s something else,” he said.

Kai lifted his gaze.

Atlas’s expression turned serious. “Our family possesses a special inheritance.”

Kai’s brows furrowed. “Inheritance?”

Cassius spoke this time. “Spiritual power.”

Kai’s heart skipped a beat.

Atlas continued, “It is rare...ancient. And only those of our bloodline can possess it.”

Kai’s mind raced.

The power he had felt earlier. That suddenly emerging power. Those rapidly healing wounds.

Was this what they meant?

Atlas nodded, as if reading his thoughts. “That’s how we found you, Kai. Your power surfaced...and I could feel it.”

Kai’s pulse pounded in his ears.

Atlas exhaled. “But to control it, you need a special heirloom. A piece that has been passed down through generations.” His eyes locked onto Kai’s. “Where is it?”

Kai froze.

His breath caught as realization hit him.

The necklace from his mother! The one he had been planning to give Astrid.

His stomach twisted. It was at Astrid’s house.

Kai’s voice was firm. “I will get it back.”

Tonight was her daughter’s wedding to Reginald, a grand affair taking place in the Sky Hall in the heart of the most exclusive district.

    On the other side, a Rolls-Royce glided into the estate, drawing envious gasps from pedestrians who marveled at the limited-edition luxury car. Inside, Elara, the wealthiest person in Dominus City and one of Kai’s most trusted allies, respectfully reported tonight’s agenda.“Master, the banquet will be held promptly at 9 PM. All the bosses working for the Orion Group in Dominus City are eager to meet you,” she said.Kai smirked, his lips curling with anticipation. He, too, was looking forward to the evening’s event. But before that, there was a pressing issue to take care of.“Stop in front of the Sky Hall,” Kai’s deep voice rumbled, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous light.If someone wanted to stir things up at the wedding, then why not give them a show they would never forget?As Kai stepped down, he heard a familiar voice, dripping with smug satisfaction.“Well, look what the wind dragged in.”Kai didn’t even need to turn.

    The room buzzed with high tension.Astrid stormed forward, her heels clicking against the marble floor. Her eyes burned with rage as she pointed at Kai.“How dare you lay a hand on my brother?” she seethed. “Have you lost your mind?”Kai met her glare, completely unfazed. His voice was cold, calm.“I’ll do it again,” he said simply. “And again. Every single time I see him misbehaving.”Gasps echoed through the hall.Sage, still clutching his stomach, seethed with humiliation. “You bastard...”Kai’s gaze flicked to him, sharp, “You should be grateful, Sage. It seems you’ve never been properly disciplined. Consider it a favor.”The guests erupted into murmurs.“He’s got some nerve…”“Does he have a death wish?”Astrid’s face twisted in fury. “You think you can just walk in here and do whatever you want?” she spat. “You ruined my wedding, you filthy waste of space!”She stepped closer, her gaze deadly. “Kneel and beg!

We’re all truly blessed to have you here.”Then he turned to the crowd with an exaggerated sweep of his hand, his smile widening with every word.“You see? Didn’t I tell you all? Elara and I go way back. She'd graced my wedding.”The reaction was instant. Gasps. Whispers.“Holy shit. Reginald wasn’t lying?”“Elara Vasquez? At his wedding?”“No way... He actually pulled it off?”“I thought he was bluffing. But damn... this guy’s connected.”“Forget everything I said...he’s the real deal.”Vivian practically glowed. She held her head high and nudged Sage in the ribs.“See that? I told you Astrid made the right choice. This is what it means to marry into power. We're going to be rich.”Astri

    The hall was dead silent. Not a soul moved. Not a breath dared disturb the tension. Some guests turned pale. Others took quiet steps back, trying to disappear into the walls as they watched the horror unfolding before their eyes.Elara’s gaze swept the room. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving.She doesn't know why her master was being quiet and patient with these insects but she won't stand and watch anymore. His grandfather would be disappointed in her if she doesn’t do anything to those who wronged him.“Who…” Her voice rang out, sharp and deadly.“Who here just demanded my master kneel? Who mocked him? And don't you dare lie to me, I heard everything while coming in.”"Who dares ridicule him? Come out and I might consider not ruining you completely."No one answered.Her eyes narrowed.Kai just stared at the woman in front of him, he didn't want this elaborate mess but he's helpless now so it was best to watch and see how things unfold. “I’ll only ask once more.” That was all it took.On

    “This girl really doesn’t know when to shut up.”Elara's expression darkened as she narrowed her eyes, clearly seeing that Astrid had learned nothing from the lesson.“Eliza,” she snapped without looking back, “slap some damn sense into her.” The tall, athletic woman behind Elara cracked her knuckles and stepped forward. No hesitation. No words. Astrid opened her mouth, still panting from rage. SLAP! The first hit landed with a crack. Her head jerked violently to the side. Another. Blood sprayed from her lip. Her cheek ballooned instantly, red and swollen. Another. She stumbled backward, nearly falling over a chair. “Stop...Wait...!” she shrieked. SLAP! The fourth blow sent her to her knees. Blood dripped from her mouth, her temple bruised. She looked up, hair messy, makeup ruined, her wedding gown smeared with blood. Elara finally raised her finger, signaling the guard to pause. Astrid coughed. Her hands shook as she wiped her mouth. Tears and blood mixed down her f

    Abigail's eyes lingered on Kai, scanning him with quiet suspicion. He didn’t look powerful. He didn’t dress like a man the city feared. He didn’t carry himself like someone who just brought the most powerful wedding in Dominus City to its knees. But Elara had bowed to him. And no one...not even Reginald's so-called elite friends...dared question it. She tilted her head slightly. "Who are you, really?" Kai chuckled lightly. Not mockingly. . .just tired amusement. "Just a guy who won a bet." Abigail raised a brow. "That’s it? You’re telling me Elara Vasquez...Dominus City’s coldest queen...bowed to you... because of a bet?" Kai shrugged. "She lost. She owed me one.""Exactly," Elara said, stepping forward smoothly. Her expression was unreadable, calm. "It was a joke. A small act. We like messing with people sometimes. No need to take it seriously." "I see. That... makes more sense." She looked relieved, but her gaze still lingered a moment too long on Kai. "Well", she

  • 27: The Eye That Sees All

    Kai's eyes flashed open. A harsh, sterile light seared his vision, and a jolt of pain arched through his body. His muscles screamed with fatigue, each breath a reminder of what he’d unleashed back at the club. His bones felt too heavy, his skin too tight. He wasn’t just tired, he was drained. Everything ached. Especially his head… and more strangely, his right eye. It throbbed deep in its socket, pulsing like it had a life of its own. He winced and groaned softly trying to figure out just what was wrong with him. “Kaiden?” Abigail’s voice called beside him, sharp with worry. She had been sitting by his bedside the entire time and instantly leaned closer. “You’re awake! Are you okay? Should I call the doctor?” He shook his head weakly, his voice low and cracked. “No… I’m fine.” That was a lie. He felt like death warmed over and all he wanted to do was lose consciousness again so all the pain would go away. But seeing the concern on her face, he didn’t have the heart to add

  • 26:The Monster Within

    Abigail was trembling, panic bursting in her chest as she stared at the chaos. She couldn’t stop crying, couldn’t stop screaming his name. “Kai...please! Please stop! You’ll kill them!” But he wasn’t listening. He couldn’t. Kai stood in front of the crumpled bodies of Conrad and Reginald, his fists soaked in blood, his chest rising and falling like a caged beast. His entire body radiated heat...violent, unstable heat. His veins glowed faintly under his skin, and the air around him was vibrating. She could see it. Feel it. The burn in her palm still stung. He was gone. Whatever part of him was still human… was buried under the madness. Kai could hear her...her sobs, her pleas but it was distant, like echoes inside a dark tunnel. The bloodlust, the pain, the humiliation they had caused... it surged through him, adding fuel to a fire that refused to burn out. Conrad whimpered, barely conscious, his hand dragging feebly on the floor. Reginald was slumped against the wall, nose br

  • 25: Kai Unleashed.

    Just a second before Conrad's belt fully unfastened, the door exploded open. Bang! The noise startled the two scumbags, but before they could even turn their heads fully...Kai was already inside. His eyes took in the scene in an instant...Abigail’s torn clothes, her trembling form slumped against the couch, tear-stained and barely conscious. Her eyes fluttered open weakly and locked on him. “Kai…” That broken whisper was all it took. Something inside him snapped. His pupils dilated, the veins in his neck bulged, and the room’s air warped. A visible shockwave blasted outward from his body, knocking back furniture. The glass chandelier above trembled violently, cracking at the edges. Conrad turned around, stunned. “What the f—” He never finished. Kai’s figure vanished in a blur of motion. The next second, Conrad’s body bent unnaturally as Kai's fist collided with his ribs with an explosive crunch. The man’s body was flung across the room, crashing into a cabinet that splintere

  • 24: Drugged.

    (THIS IS AN EXPLICIT SCENE, PLEASE MOVE TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT, THANKS.) The room reeked of alcohol and sin. Abigail's head throbbed. Her limbs were heavy, her vision blurred. Something was wrong. Her throat was dry like sandpaper, and the heat crawling under her skin wasn’t natural. She struggled to sit up, but her body refused to obey. Across the room, laughter. Conrad Lin. He wasn’t drunk. He wasn’t high. He was waiting. Her family had collapsed one by one, slumped over the table or against plush leather couches, unconscious from the drug-laced wine he had poured with fake smiles and false sincerity. Abigail had taken only a few sips, but it was enough to dull her defenses. Now she was cornered. Conrad stood in front of her, tie loose, breath heavy. The grin on his face wasn’t amused anymore. It was hungry. "Tch," he clicked his tongue, looking over the passed-out bodies. "Useless lot. Wasn't after them anyway." He turned to Abigail. She tried to cra

  • 23: The Invitation That Reeked

    After stepping out of the Luricor building, Kaiden Blackwood glanced sideways at Abigail Alfred. She looked more relaxed now, her cheeks flushed with victory. For the first time all day, she smiled without tension and he was glad he was able to help her. “I owe you a meal,” Kai said, hands tucked into his pockets, his voice low, "A congratulatory meal." Abigail smiled and opened her mouth to answer but just then, her phone buzzed. She frowned. “My mom.” Kai nodded for her to pick up. “Hello?” Abigail answered. On the other end, her mother’s voice was unusually sweet. Too sweet. “Hello my darling, sorry I'm disturbing but it's really urgent, so Conrad Lin wants to apologize. He invited us to dinner tonight and we have very little time to get ready, please head home soon.” Abigail blinked. “Conrad?” “Yes,” her mother continued. “He even asked your Aunt Matilda to mediate. You know how awkward it’d be if we refused. He says it’s just a simple dinner. No drama.” Abigail’s jaw cl

  • 22:Public Execution

    The Luricor lobby was a full-blown circus. Reginald was still shouting like a madman, jabbing his finger toward Abigail and Kai. “They bribed him! That’s how they stole my project!” he roared. “This is slander! I worked for that deal!” People gathered, murmurs swelling. “Isn’t that the guy from the wedding scandal?” “Same one. The fiancée who got beat up and the fake gift drama...” “Now he’s crying corruption? The irony’s too much.” As the whispers grew louder, the elevator dinged. The noise dropped instantly. Thane Jackson stepped out, surrounded by assistants and two suited security guards. His expression was cold, razor-sharp, like a man used to cutting heads without lifting a blade. The moment he saw the scene, he didn’t even blink. “Call the police,” he told the secretary beside him. “Now.” Reginald’s roar died in his throat. Thane pointed straight at him. “I just got the internal report. Reginald Thompson. It was your company that conspired with Conrad Lin for an ill

  • 21:When the Dust Settles, The Tables Turn

    Reginald had been restless all morning. Ever since the wedding fiasco, his mood had been foul, his calls unreturned, and his ego bruised. Still convinced that Kaiden was just a lucky bastard who happened to win a bet, Reginald wasn’t too worried. But there was one name that haunted him, Elara Vasquez. If she really was close to that loser, and if she truly meant the things she said that day... he could be in trouble. He had to confirm something. “Get dressed,” he told Astrid sharply, tossing her a purse. Astrid frowned. “Where are we going?” “To Luricor. I need to see Conrad. If he’s still working there, that means the cooperation is safe.” “But you’ve been calling him for hours...” “And I’m done waiting,” Reginald snapped. Soon, they arrived at the sleek glass building of Luricor, one of the Gyrix Group’s most important subsidiaries. Inside the lobby, Reginald marched up to the front desk, dragging Astrid behind him like a disheveled accessory. “We’re here to see Conrad.”

  • 20: The Collapse of Arrogance

    The living room had never been so quiet. The only sound was the occasional buzz of disbelief flickering through the minds of Abigail’s family as they stared at her phone screen. The number sat there, bold, undeniable. 500 million yuan. Abigail’s hand trembled slightly. “It’s real,” she whispered again, mostly to herself. “It’s... real.” Her mother gasped and dropped to her knees beside her daughter, tears welling in her eyes. “Thank you,” she said to Kai, her voice cracking. “Thank you, young man. I don’t know what miracle brought you here, but... thank you.” Her father stood, walked to Kai, and held his hand tightly with both of his own. “You’ve saved this family. I don’t know what we did to deserve this grace... but we will never forget it.” Kai gave a half-smile, his expression calm, unbothered, as if dropping half a million was a daily routine. He glanced toward Aunt Matilda, who stood frozen like someone had just slapped her soul out of her body. Her teeth clenc

  • 19: The Bet.

    Kai stepped into the lavish Alfred estate, escorted by two grim-faced servants. He kept his posture relaxed, dressed in a plain black shirt and sneakers, yet his calm energy filled the space before he even reached the main sitting room. Abigail rushed to meet him halfway, her eyes betraying more nerves than she wanted to admit. She grabbed his arm, gripping tightly not too forcefully, but enough to say don’t mess this up. The family seated in the spacious parlor looked up as one. Some eyes narrowed. Others lit with curiosity. But as soon as they saw what Kai was wearing, the air chilled, they barely replied to Kai’s greeting. “So this is the boyfriend?” Aunt Matilda scoffed, folding her arms and looking at Kai with hatred that could burn, “He looks like he just walked out of a student hostel.” Conrad, clad in designer wear and reeking of smugness stood and gave Kai a disdainful once-over. “Not much to look at. Abigail, are you really this desperate? What do you see in such thin
