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 said. "There is something all of you need to know. My father previously formed a corporation with the Crane family. He is my father's sworn brother, having helped him with some issues. The Crane family has the backing of the Vex family. The Vex family and the Cole family who own the Meridian contract, are very close. Like siblings."The room went quiet.Relief followed after hearing that, as if there was real hope the company could recover what it had lost.Harlan's eyes lit up. He moved closer to Drake with the look of a man who had just discovered he was standing beside someone far more powerful than he had realized."Young Master Drake is amazing," he said."So when are you two getting marri

“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 whole life. So why not?” They both laughed. “Enough talk,” Alexander said calmly. “Come and fight.” They paused for a moment, then came after him. Elena’s heart jumped with fear. All she could think was that something terrible was about to happen to him. She quickly bent her face down and covered her head with both hands. too scared to watch. Then everything became quiet. Then came the sounds — grunts, sharp cracks, bodies hitting the floor hard. Elena peeped through her fingers. The two men were already on the ground, twisting in pain, their knives scattered. Finally, she raised her head. Drake froze in shock. The women stopped their message immediately. This was not the scene they w

Alexander was already dressed and ready to leave for his meeting with Elena. He checked the time, almost eight. He stepped out of the house and walked to the roadside, waiting for a ride. Just then, a reckless driver sped past and splashed dirty water all over his clothes. Before Alexander could even react, as he raised a hand as if to curse the driver, the car was gone. The words caught in his throat. But then slowly dropped his hand. He looked down at his wet shirt and trousers, checked the time again, and sighed. With no choice, he turned around and went back home to change. Meanwhile, in her office at Carter Group, Elena paced back and forth. She was working hard to gather every possible resource to find a good doctor while she waited for Nadia's father to give feedback. She had already spoken with Nadia on the phone, but the silence from her father gnawed at her, made Elena's worry grow stronger.. Two receptionists leaned in close, keeping their voices low. Boss didn't loo

They drove off in a rush. The moment the cars pulled up at the family estate, Elena jumped out and hurried toward the entrance. The security guards bowed respectfully. “Welcome, young mistress.” She didn’t even respond. She just kept moving straight inside, her steps quick and worried. Alexander lingered for a second, turning slowly to take in the grand surroundings. This was his first time here. He quietly assessed the massive house, the manicured grounds, and the overall security. Not bad, he thought to himself. Then something caught his eye. A dark, smoky energy, like black mist, was rising from the roof, right above the room where Robert lay. It looked like it was leaking out from inside. No… Elena’s father had been cursed with some kind of dark, forbidden magic. Alexander’s eyes locked onto it. Nadia and Dr. Li Wei were already heading inside. Nadia suddenly turned around. “What are you looking at?” Alexander snapped out of it and turned quickly. Before he could ta

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
