LOGIN"He's Hazel's grandfather after all, so you won't do anything bad to her."
After taking such a long time to think, Kenneth embarrassedly spat this words out of his mouth.
Dana was going to faint from anger soon. She pointed a finger and glared at Kenneth, while she was crying as she yelled. "How did I marry a weakling like you!"
She knew that Kenneth was a filial son and was always very obedient to his father Albertt Young. He couldn't do anything to his father and became a weak and afraid to go against his father at all.
But regardless of which man he choose for Hazel as a husband to marry to the family, this matter would still threaten Hazel's life.
Their family will going to become a laughingstock in the whole city. Dana cried miserably as she yelled at her husband, while Hazel quietly cried. Only they could do was to grip their fists tightly, kenneth couldn't do anything and he can just admit that he was helpless in this situation.
"Mom, dad. Don't fight anymore!" Hazel managed to make a smile on her lips, but there were tears streamed down on her beautiful face. "Perhaps, Grandpa might find me a really nice man right?"
After she graduated from university, she started working for the Young family business group. She achieved outstanding results for their company, it was the cause that the both of her uncles instigated her grandfather to find someone to be willing to marry into the family for. So that she would lose her eligibility to take over the Young family business.
She knew this, and her parents too that this was the ploy of her two uncles especially that William Young that willy old fox.
In this family, nobody could go against what the head of the family had decided. Nobody.
Time is up. The party has just get started and hazel got up.
"It's time now, let's go. If we keep them waiting for us he's going to scold us again." Kenneth felt bitterness and helpless when he saw his daughter who was trembling slightly. He dared not to look at his wife's furious face.
She was so helpless, that she couldn't do anything for their daughters sake. All she could do is to hope that the man they found was really reliable and good man.
Kenneth knew that It was hard on them to stay in the family, but at least they didn't have to worry about there daily needs and expenses. If they was chased out, what were they going to do?
In the main hall of the hotel, the place was brightly lit up and all the guests had already arrived.
Albertt Young was seated right in front, dressed in his expensive suit holding onto a walking stick and his face was glowing.
"Greetings, Mr. Young!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Young!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Young!"
All the guests one by one made taking their turns to congratulate Mr. Young for this grand event of their family.
"Dad, it's about time to make the announcement!" Said William, he was standing next to him, with his large and burly figure looks so imposing.
A Farewell for NowAnd just like that...Book One has come to an end.261 chapters.When I first started writing this story, I don't think I imagined that it would grow into what it eventually became. What began as an idea slowly turned into a world of battles, mysteries, sacrifices, friendships, awakenings, heartbreak, and characters who continued to stand even when everything around them was falling apart.And now, after everything...we've finally reached the end of the first part of that journey.Before anything else, I want to say one thing:Thank you.Thank you for reading.Thank you for staying.Thank you for making it all the way to the end of Book One.Whether you've been here since the beginning or discovered the story somewhere along the way, every chapter you read means something to me. Every time you continued to the next chapter, every time you became curious about what would happen next, every time a character surprised you, every time a battle made you excited, or ever
The World AfterMorning came quietly.For the first time in what felt like an eternity—there were no alarms.No emergency sirens.No warning signals.No soldiers running through the command center.No voices shouting about another breach.No one was preparing for war.The world was simply—quiet.Sunlight spilled across the horizon, touching the ruined cities and broken landscapes that had once been battlefields.Buildings were damaged.Roads were cracked.Entire sections of cities would have to be rebuilt.But people were alive.And that was enough.The world had survived.Inside the command center, something else had changed.The place that had once been filled with fear and urgency was now filled with laughter.Tables had been pushed together.Food covered nearly every surface.Music played through the halls.People who had spent months fighting for survival were finally celebrating for something that wasn't another victory on a battlefield.They were celebrating life.Hazel stood
Chapter 260 — The Voice WithinThe first thing Jae heard—was a heartbeat.Slow.Steady.Alive.Then—[Recovery complete.]Jae opened his eyes.White light surrounded him.For a moment, he couldn't remember where he was.Then everything returned.The battle.The Entity.Elyndra.Hazel.The Clone.The synchronization.The System.Jae immediately sat up."Wait."A wave of pain passed through his chest.He grabbed it."I'm alive?"A familiar voice answered.[Confirmed.]Jae froze.He slowly looked around."You're still here."[I never left.]Jae stared into empty space.Then he smiled."You really became the System."A brief pause.[Correction.]Jae raised an eyebrow."What?"[I became part of the System.]Jae laughed quietly."Still sounds like the same thing."[It is not.]Jae smiled."You're still annoying."[And you are still reckless.]Jae stopped.That sounded exactly like the Clone.For the first time since waking up—Jae felt something strange.He wasn't alone.The Clone wasn't p
The SystemJae opened his eyes.But he wasn't in the command center.He wasn't on the battlefield.He wasn't anywhere he recognized.There was only darkness.Endless darkness.Then—a voice.[Connection established.]Jae froze."What?"The voice didn't sound human.It was calm.Emotionless.Yet somehow—familiar.[Primary consciousness detected.]Jae looked around."Who are you?"Silence.Then—[Secondary consciousness detected.]Jae's eyes widened."Secondary?"A faint light appeared in the darkness.A figure stood before him.The Clone.But something was wrong.He wasn't solid anymore.His body was made of countless fragments of light.His outline flickered.Jae stared at him."You..."The Clone smiled faintly."Hey."Jae stepped toward him."What's happening?"The Clone looked down at his own hands."I don't think I can go back."Jae's expression changed."What do you mean?""I tried."The Clone looked at him."But there's nowhere to go."His body flickered again.Jae reached for h
The Clone's ChoiceThe command center had never been this quiet.Not even during the final battle.Not even when the Seventh Seal collapsed.Not even when the Entity descended upon the world.Now—everyone was waiting.The medical team surrounded Jae.Machines hummed around him.Monitors flashed.Energy readings constantly changed.Medics moved from one station to another, desperately trying to stabilize his condition."Heart rate dropping!""Increase the energy stabilizer!""It's not responding!""Again!"A pulse of energy surged through Jae's body.His heartbeat rose—then immediately fell again.Hazel stood behind the medical barrier.Her hands were trembling."Come on..."She whispered."Please."The Clone stood several meters away.He hadn't moved since they brought Jae inside.Every time Jae's heartbeat changed—his own chest reacted.Every time Jae suffered—he felt it.Every time Jae's heartbeat weakened—his own strength disappeared.He clenched his fists.The medics tried ag
The ReturnLight swallowed the darkness.For a moment, there was nothing.No sound.No ground.No sky.Then—the Clone stumbled forward.His knees struck the earth.Seraphina appeared beside him, catching herself before she fell.They were back.Back in Jae's world.The battlefield stretched before them.Broken.Ruined.But alive.The last sunlight of the day touched the shattered landscape.The Clone slowly raised his head.He felt it immediately.That heartbeat.Weak.Distant.But unmistakable.Jae.His hand went to his chest."He's here."Seraphina looked around."Where?"The Clone turned toward the center of the battlefield."There."They began walking.Then Hazel saw him.She froze.Her eyes widened.For several seconds, she simply stared.The face.The body.The aura.There was no mistaking him."The Clone..."Her voice trembled.The Clone stopped.Hazel rushed toward him."Where have you been?!"She grabbed his arm."You disappeared!"The Clone looked at her.He remembered her.
