The old man pulled up the young master of the Slave Clan and caressed the heads of the other two savages, who lowered their heads even further, looking satisfied.

Silas’s father, Elias Vane, the original "Executioner" who had supposedly been buried in a watery grave ten years ago, looked like a specter forged from obsidian and sea-spray, his face was a map of deep, jagged scars and a decade of cold, subterranean exile, but his eyes were the same dark, predatory wells as his son’s. The heavy breathing of the two Vane men filled

Her eyes were cold, an eerie calm taking over her. After Wallace's brief outburst, his eyes red, he approached Jane, knelt in front of her, and clasped his fists in salute.

Charlie was his sworn brother. Before leaving the northern borders, Charlie had promised to save him a bottle of good wine for when he returned.

"Ms. Vance, the Vane shipping empire is hemorrhaging cash. Charlie’s latest expansion failed, and the board is panicking. They’re desperate for a buyout." "Good," I said, turning away from the window. "Sarah, you’ll be the face of this operation. To the world, you are the CEO of Vance International. I want you to offer them double the market price for the Vane family estate and the main headquarters. I want Charlie to think he’s being saved by a mystery benefactor."

Marcus wants to take over Charles' fishing and trade business with other countries, such as Denmark, but Charles isn't letting go of what he has started. The world isn't what it once was, and Charles is proud that he has established something.

Charles gritted his teeth. The next moment, Charles said, "He said that my Krueger family colluded with the monsters with wisdom on the island, cooperating with the individual cultivators on the surrounding islands to kill the merchant ships! He even added that the Thousands Spirits Island and the individual cultivators would get the property, while the mortals and cultivators on the ships would be fed to the monsters!
