All Chapters of Ashes and Obsidian Feathers: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

You are the one they will follow, the one they will bleed for. You will not be questioned. You will not be challenged. From this day on, the Bronze Orchid answers to you as their leader.Chen Kamman was half-Thai and half-Chinese. His father, against his grandmother's fervent wishes, had married a Thai woman, who later became Kamman and Gwen's mother. The entire family had fought for days, but eventually, they grudgingly accepted her.For her sake, Chen Yujing had even permanently moved his territory from China to Thailand. It was said that the men of the Chen family loved to their core, willing to put their lives on the line for those they cherished. His father had certainly lived up to that reputation.The Yuns were originally from South Korea, but like all main families, they commanded global businesses. South Korea remained their core territory. The Pasatit were from Thailand but had been pushed out of their most influential position with the Chens' arrival and instant dominance.

Kamman's uncle, Chen Qishan, was seated behind a large desk in his study. The room was dimly lit, yet its prestige was evident even with the minimal illumination. Before him stood two of his men, there to deliver a report. Several pictures of a young man, taken in different locations, were spread across the desk."We've been keeping an eye on him for two weeks now. Those are the places he goes to mostly." One of the men said as Chen Qishan meticulously reviewed the pictures, a stern look etched on his face."What about his address and personal details?""We have it here, sir. His name is Asia Song, age 25. We can't find any information on his parents or relatives, though. He stays with a male roommate, a university student.""What does he do for a living?" Chen Qishan pressed."We don't have an accurate source, sir, since he doesn't stick to one job," one of them answered."Find out. And don't draw attention while you're at it."He ordered, placing the pictures in his drawer and risi

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,

Sir, everyone is dead."Every group came back reporting the same thing. They really had wiped out the entire building."Fine, let's go back," Kamman said, turning to leave. Before they exited the building, he turned and added, "Get the cleaning team; erase the crime scene.""What?" The man beside him asked, not sure he'd heard the order correctly.All these had nothing to do with Kamman, and the events wouldn't affect him in any way. He was known for minding his own business, so his decision to get involved was a bit confusing to his men.Rei, however, understood his motive almost immediately. Even if Kamman was hiding it, his mind had already connected this case to Dian, especially after their initial conversation.His instincts when it came to that name were always to protect, so naturally, he moved to clean up his assumed crime, then ask questions later.Rei turned to the man and confirmed,"Call the cleaning team. Get rid of all the bodies. Tell them not to leave a single trace be

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
