LOGINStefan and Cynthia weren't unreasonable people by any means.The reason they insisted Zeke hadn't been the one to save them was that, while they had been unconscious, someone had fed them a kind of restorative pill. Even now, a faint trace of its medicinal fragrance lingered in their bodies—something only they could sense.They had already tested Zeke beforehand, and it was clear he knew nothing about it. If he had really been the one who saved them, he would surely have known about it.That said, Zeke's recovery was real. With so many coincidences piling up together, it was no wonder Hazel believed in him so completely. And that only made Stefan and Cynthia resent him even more.'He is nothing but a shameless fraud! Not only is his attitude unbearable, but he even has the nerve to take credit for everything, as if it were all his doing!'Hazel grew anxious and stepped forward again, blocking her parents. "Fine. If you don't like Zeke, that's your choice. But at least think ab
Deep down, however, he found it a little funny. 'There they go, overthinking again. I only served them some food, and they're already touched. They really are the most gullible fools in the world.'Still, he added in a low, serious voice, "Please keep my strength a secret. Don't spread it around. I'm worried it might bring unnecessary trouble."His body was still recovering, far from fully healed. On top of that, his identity as a member of Black Sun was extremely sensitive. The more people knew, the more likely it was to attract complications he did not need."Oh, okay!" The girls were surprised, but they still nodded in agreement.To them, this only made him seem even more admirable—low-key, humble, someone who didn't crave attention. Handsome, considerate, powerful, and yet so modest… where could you even find a man like that? The three of them felt incredibly lucky to have him.'Still, it would've been perfect if Evan were here too…' Hazel thought with a quiet sigh.…Afte
The entire room fell silent.Everyone stood frozen, faces locked in disbelief, as if their minds couldn't quite catch up with what they had just heard.He knew that once he passed the third stage of the experimental drug—once his body fully stabilized and he gained complete control over his power—being the King of Silverton would be nothing worth mentioning. Even ruling an entire state would be trivial.Absolute strength stood above the rules and order of the world itself. If he wanted someone to rule a state, then that person would rule it. It was that simple.But to Graham, Hazel, Roxanne, Anya—and everyone else present—his words hit like a thunderclap. It was like an earthquake tearing through the ground beneath their feet.Just like that, with a few casual words, he had decided that Graham would become the King of Silverton.And yet, no one dared to object.Under that crushing pressure, no one was willing to be the first to challenge him."Zeke… are you serious?" Graham's
Because of Zeke, the Golden family had been riding an unstoppable wave lately.Ever since Graham became convinced that the Department of Mystia was part of Zeke's network, he had already started treating Zeke as his future son-in-law. He bragged about him to anyone who would listen, praising his strength and influence.Some people didn't buy it and even challenged Graham to prove it. So Graham arranged a gathering, bringing together everyone who doubted Zeke's status, determined to let them witness it firsthand.Anya brought Hazel and Roxanne along as well. They had come for one simple reason—to see Zeke display his power again.Whether it was the belief that Zeke had saved the Solberg family, the assumption that the Department of Mystia was one of his connections, or the strength he had shown right in front of them, everything had left a deep impression on the three women.Without even realizing it, their attitude toward Zeke had already changed. No longer was it the same care
Only now did she finally understand why Kaldor had delayed making a move against the Stantons.Compared to the child of the Norwoods, the Stantons barely mattered. There was a clear order of priority—and the Norwoods' child ranked far above the Iron Dragon."Why am I only hearing about something this important now?" she snapped. "Everything is happening at once!" Even after forcing herself to calm down, anger still burned across her face.It wasn't hard to tell where she came from, based on the fact that she had hired Black Sun to eliminate the Stantons, and that she had once known the Norwoods. She belonged to Imperia's elite circle, and her standing was anything but low."Ma'am, I only uncovered this while tracking Kaldor…" the subordinate explained.The woman opened her mouth as if to continue, then stopped herself. "Forget it. We just have to find Maple's son before Kaldor does, and kill him. He must die. Anything connected to Maple is forbidden. It's a threat. Do you unders
And yet Evan, one of those cultivators, had forced his way into her world. The impact he left was inevitable… and so was her admiration.But now, he had appeared.He was stronger than Evan. His status was higher. His talent was terrifying, and he shone even brighter than Evan ever had.Orion knew Sylvie's attitude would not change overnight, but given enough time, he was certain she would see things differently.Orion walked straight up to Sylvie's door and knocked.No response.Unbothered, he smiled lightly and said, "Ms. Stanton, that guy just came by."The door flew open instantly. Sylvie's eyes lit up. "Evan came to see me?""He already left," Orion said leisurely. "Scared off by my strength and background."His smile deepened."Is that really the man you admire, Ms. Stanton? You made him sound extraordinary, powerful, untouchable… but the moment he compared himself to me, he lost confidence and ran."He shook his head with a faint sigh. "He didn't even dare to defend hi
"What? Simple?" Artemisia's eyes went wide in disbelief when she heard Evan's words.She had been studying this incomplete formula ever since she'd been overseas, working on it for days and nights. Yet, she still had no clue how to fix it. And now Evan said it was an easy fix?"To make matters wor
After he obtained an enormous sum of money from that sale, he had finally risen to prominence and secured the position he enjoyed today.What he hadn't expected was that Cain had gone and tested the authenticity of the drakeblood gemstone. Back when Darius had forged the fake, it had been indisting
Before anyone could react, Evan sprang into action.He lunged forward like a hawk, clamping a hand around Mylo's face and lifting him straight off the ground. Then, he drove Mylo's head into the hood of the car, again and again.Each impact sounded like a sledgehammer crashing down on steel. The
Hazel had given Neil a direct order. He was to bring Evan back to her, safe and sound, no matter what.Evan didn’t want to go, but he went anyway. He also had questions for Zeke.Inside the hospital, Hazel and the others waited anxiously.Zeke's body trembled without stopping. His face was draine
