Asia stepped on the gas, cursing under his breath. It was usually so easy to shake people off, so why wasn't it working tonight? Moreover, he could have gone faster, but Park Jangseok's car was like an irritating tail, dragging him behind.

His mind raced, and he found a temporary solution in seconds. Splitting would increase their chances of getting away, and it would also give him the freedom to speed without worrying about anything else.

He used his blinkers to give a signal, his first rule when working with someone: understand his signals.

The driver in the other car was confused; it was too fast and sudden. Asia didn't wait, taking the next turn to his right and disappearing from view almost immediately. This sudden change took Park Jangseok and his men by surprise, but they couldn't stop, so they continued forward. The cars following closely behind also hadn't expected this, missing the turn.

Kamman had a feeling he would make a sudden turn at some point, so he stayed far behind,

  • Ashes and Obsidian Feathers   24. The Arrow Manning the Sky.

    Gwen and her stepmother's relationship was hard to grasp in one sitting. Gwen never accepted her as her mother, and Saron never treated Gwen as a daughter. Still, Saron could not touch her. In the past, Gwen was under the protection of her father. After his death, her brother made sure it stayed that way.As Gwen grew, their relationship evolved to one of mutual understanding: to stay away from each other's business. Saron's over-excessiveness and reckless investments were overlooked by Gwen because the Chen family was hardly impacted by an insignificant loss of money, and Saron knew her limits. Gwen's dealings were also overlooked by Saron.The house was very big, with servants working multiple shifts, so it was possible for them not to meet even for a month while living under the same roof.Today, however, Chen Qishan and the other main families all rose early in the morning and came complaining to Saron Chen, asking her to summon her step-son back into the country immediately for q

  • Ashes and Obsidian Feathers   23. Fire and Ashes.

    Kamman felt a searing heat. His chest contracted, and his throat went hoarse.The resemblance was undeniable, yet he felt a profound difference. Every time he met Asia, he saw traces of Dian, but then again, he also found traces of a completely different person, and this contradiction was almost blowing his mind.Just now, when he held Asia's wrist, he felt him soften. Dian always tensed up at the slightest skin contact. However, Asia's eyes were completely like Dian's, and it felt exactly as it used to feel when he looked directly into them.Asia's voice was a paradox, soft yet sharp. It carried a hint of coldness while also conveying warmth. It was theoretically impossible, and this was why Kamman was so confused. His head was not that tolerant, and it began to protest with exhaustion. A sharp pain shot through, causing him to suddenly wince as he stumbled backwards slightly. This loosened his grip, allowing Asia to move away, but he didn't. Instead, he caught Kamman's arm, as if p

    "Uncle, are you going somewhere?" Gwen feigned oblivion, an innocent smile plastered on her face, even when everyone knew better.Chen Qishan had been informed of Gwen's arrival and rushed to get her off his back first. Gwen was not easily deterred. Tonight, she even came prepared. Manu's arms were laden with several dishes of delicacies from her nanny."Let's eat first. Aunty Long prepared these. You used to love them!" She squealed happily. Chen Qishan fought with all his might not to roll his eyes. His niece was something else."Well, my dear Gwen, you came at a bad time; I was just leaving.""To meet with the Pasatit? But didn't Kammy ban such private meetings?" She asked, already handing his uncle's servants the dishes.Chen Qishan rushed to refute the treasonous claim. "No, no. I was going for a drive," he blurted out. However, each person's intention was visible for all to see. It was not an accusation but a fact, and Gwen was not there to have a meal with her favorite uncle b

    The location was China. Several cars waited at a cross-section of an abandoned road, hidden from view by the heavy plantation on either side. Darkness had already set in, and it was time for the evils to rise. Their front lights were all open, illuminating the distance. A voice came through an intercom."The cargo is approaching. Twenty-six meters away."An older man, with a raspy voice, ordered, "Turn off the lights. Move into position!"The men around rushed to obey. Almost immediately, the surrounding area went very dark and quiet, apart from the croaking and chirping of various animals.Two huge trailers drove menacingly, approaching from a distance. The driver at the front was listening to soft music, his guard down. Looking ahead, the road was clear, so he pushed on.Suddenly, a car appeared in front of him. Truck drivers of the Bronze Orchid were trained for years before they were allowed on the road in the organization's name. One of the trainings entailed running over any pot

    Gwen had blossomed into a striking beauty, and whispers of her allure had spread far and wide. Her character, however, did not quite match her looks; her brother's less desirable habits had clearly rubbed off on her. The one always at the receiving end of her antics was Marsha Pasatit, the young lady of one of the five main families of Bronze Orchid and also Kamman's fiancée.Kamman didn't tell anyone when he would be back in Thailand, but he had left room for assumptions. Marsha, knowing him as she did, didn't dismiss the possibility of him arriving unannounced, so she was constantly at the Chen manor, checking and prying. Gwen, for her part, was excited every time Marsha came, because then she would have someone to frustrate.It was around eight the next morning. Manu walked through the wide corridors of the mansion, humming his usual song. He was clearly in a good mood. Earlier, he had been on the phone with Rei, who had briefly explained the turmoil they were going through in So

  • Ashes and Obsidian Feathers   19. A Grip On Him.

    Park Jangseok had already endured the humiliation of being held hostage in his own house and didn't think it could get worse. He was wrong because they even abducted his top player right in front of his eyes.He couldn't fight them, as almost all his men were currently unresponsive, so he resorted to whining like a child. "Mr Chen! How dare you?! If the rest of the underworld hears about this, how will they think of you?!" He cried out after Kamman and his men emerged, an unconscious Asia dangling from Rei's shoulder."Mr Park, don't get so worked up. I might give him back," Kamman said, smiling so softly as if he weren't in the middle of abducting someone."You might?!" Mr Park almost had a stroke. He clutched his chest and stumbled back as his few functioning men rushed to steady him.Kamman was done with the conversation. Jangseok had no bargaining chip, which was the norm. No bargaining chip, no right to speak. He solemnly watched as they carried a man he had spent fortunes to a
