Nadia’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and smiled.

“It’s my dad.”

They both let out a breath of relief, expecting good news.

“Hello, Dad.”

“Hello, dear. Tell your friend he’s on his way to her company right now. This man is a top master, one of a kind. Tell her to treat him well. Men like him are hard to find.”

“He’s a top master? Really, Dad?”

“Yes. Just do what I tell you, okay?”

“Got it, Dad.”

The call ended.

Nadia looked at Elena, a big smile spreading across her face.

Elena smiled b

    Robert stood by the bed, his expression unreadable as he watched his family crumble in shock. Beside him, Elena felt a wave of cold nausea. She stared at her uncle and aunt, unable to believe that the people she called family could turn so quickly, driven by nothing but cowardice and fear."Young man." Robert's voice came out calm and unhurried. "Let this matter go. Consider it a debt I owe you."Drake walked toward him slowly. Elena moved to place herself between them."Owe me?" Drake stopped and looked at Robert with something close to pity. "You are not in a position to owe me anything.""My master taught me something," the fighter said, cracking his neck to one side. "Everything in this world can be gotten. If you don't have it, you simply need the power and the right method to take it, whether by force, by cunning, or any other means necessary." He step forward to Robert, “You had your chance to cooperate. But you throw it away. So blame yourself for what comes next." Alexander

  • War God’s Gentle Vow   Chapter 23: Peace to Ridicule

    The man stepped forward, rolling one fist slowly inside the other palm, like he was warming up something that had been resting for a long time."Kid." His voice was deep and unhurried. "This one punch — you should feel honored. I don't waste it on ordinary people." He looked Alexander over from head to foot. "But today I'm in a generous mood. Think of it as a privilege. At least you'll die knowing what a real hit feels like."“Is that so?” Alexander said calmly.Nadia’s feet shifted on the floor. What kind of arrogant man is this? she thought. You’re staring death in the face, yet you still dare to brag. She looked at him with clear disgust. Thank God the bodyguard I found for Elena is already nearby. This kid should just pray he arrives on time… if not, he is doomed.“Stop it, Alexander,” Elena said quietly. "Don't go any further," she said quietly to him. "This is not a bluff. This man has a real record. He is not someone to take lightly.”She gently pulled Alexander behind her, the

  • War God’s Gentle Vow   Chapter 22: One Room, Two Storms

    "Young man." Robert's voice was easy, almost casual. "Are you married?" The room went still. Alexander's eyes found Elena's for a fraction of a second. She looked back. Then he turned to Robert, blinking. "M — me?" He pointed at himself. "Both of you are grown." Robert's tone was warm, unhurried. "Mature enough to start something worthwhile—" Elena was already moving. She stepped between them and took her grandfather's hand. "Grandpa." Her voice was careful. "He is my employee." “Your employee?” Robert repeated, sounding surprised. “And what is that supposed to mean? As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter whether he is your employee or not.” "Grandpa—" she called again Alexander cut in before she could say more. "Please, sir." His voice was calm, and the smile on his face was deliberate. "I'm just an ordinary employee. I saved your life. That's all. I'm not here asking for anything beyond that." Margaret had heard enough. She drew herself up. "Exactly." She looked at Al

  • War God’s Gentle Vow   Chapter 21: The Eighteen-Needle Technique

    Drake burst out laughing the moment Alexander finished speaking. Zhou Fen shook his head slowly, the way a man does when he has decided he is done being patient. "Kid." His voice was quiet but had an edge to it. "Who exactly do you think you are? I have been practising medicine since I was eight years old. I am an old man now, and I could not save him." He gestured at Robert's still form on the bed. "But you — born yesterday — want to stand here and play the hero?" Drake laughed again, longer this time. Zhou Fen wasn't finished. "I'll tell you what. If you somehow wake this man up, I will get on my knees and call you Grandpa. I will count it out a hundred times. Then I will become your disciple." He folded his arms, satisfied with himself. Another laugh from Drake, loud and easy. Elena looked up at Alexander and gave a small, quiet shake of her head. Don't. You'll only embarrass yourself. Alexander's hand found her arm again. "I told you to trust me." The relatives watched in

    The clock had been ticking for an hour and thirty minutes. No one had come out."What is happening there?" Margaret’s voice was barely a whisper, as if she were afraid that speaking too loudly would break the fragile silence. "I thought it was just poison. Is it worse than I thought?"She paced the small area of the hallway, her eyes red and swimming with unshed tears. The rest of the family had reached their breaking point. William stood with his forehead pressed against the wall, his fists balled so tight his knuckles were white. Veronica and Harlan sat in a heavy, suffocating silence, while Mark leaned back on the couch, his legs shaking uncontrollably as he stared at the ceiling.Elena was the closest to the door. She stood perfectly still, her eyes fixed on the door. Alexander turned from the wall and had eyes searching everyone. He step forward."Even if it’s a death sentence," he said, his voice cutting through the tension, "they should have come out by now." then he stepped to

  • War God’s Gentle Vow   Chapter 19: The Forgotten Clock

    For Elena, the heavy silence was broken only by the steady tick…tick…tick of the wall clock. She stood frozen, her eyes locked on the swinging pendulum. The shadows stretched across the floor, creeping closer to the mark of noon—12:00 p.m. In all the chaos, with raised voices, threats, and arguments, no one else had noticed the time. Only her. The relatives finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her surrender. They quickly turned to Drake, begging him to let Dr. Zhou Fen take over. With a lazy wave of his hand, Drake gave the signal. Zhou Fen stepped forward confidently. He didn't even need to examine Robert; he already knew what was wrong because he was the one who had cast the dark spell in the first place. His eyes were fixed on the dark, bruised veins in Robert’s neck. He straightened his back and cast a cold, dry look over the family. "Everyone out," he commanded. "My medicine needs silence." From his spot against the far wall, Alexander let out a short, quiet b

    “Hey kid,” one of the men said, pointing his knife at him. “In this life, something really will kill a man. So you really want to die for a beautiful lady?” The other man beside him smiled and said, “What do you think? Dying for such an angel is the best thing that has ever happened to him in his

    A moment after Elena left Alexander sat still for a while. Then he got up and moved to the center of the room and sat down on the floor. Crossed his legs. Straightened his back. Closed his eyes. He cultivated until everything inside him was quiet again. Then he got up and went to shower. He came

    Drake looked around the room."Protect her?" He laughed. "My family's second name is protector. If protection is the issue then none of you need to worry."Robert looked at him from the bed."Young man. It seems like you don't know what is at stake. So you won't understand.""Understand?" Drake sai

  • War God’s Gentle Vow   Chapter 10: Can You Protect Her?

    Dr. Zhou Fen crossed to Robert’s bedside without waiting. He opened his bag and began placing his needles. One by one. At specific pressure points along Robert’s neck, chest, and wrists. Precise. Unhurried. The room watched in silence. Drake stood to the side. Composed. Watching everything.
