Ruthless Empire Novels & Stories

) Valerian rolled his shoulders back, adjusting his cuffs. It had been a long time since Valerian had entertained personal grievances. He had built an empire on ruthlessness. He had buried enemies without blinking, and had wiped out entire bloodlines without a second thought nor remorse. Revenge was a game for men who let emotions dictate their actions. And right now, he was that man.

"Señor Russo, este trato beneficiará a su imperio. Después de todo, todos sabemos cómo su padre construyó su imperio... sobre mentiras y derramamiento de sangre." (Mr Russo, this deal will be in benefit of your empire. After all, we all know, how your father built his empire. On lies and bloodshed.) I raised up my gaze to meet the middle aged man who had just spoken. He is trying to be intimidating and forgetting I built my empire under the strike of Italian. And yet, he is fucking trying to intimidate me. My finger tips tapped on the table as I tried studying five of them closely. Scared I might end up doing the unthinkable, Griffin whispered closer into my ear.

He buried it down to the hilt, then gave it a hard twist. The pain of it caused her to scream resoundingly, which prompted the crowd around them to cheer even louder. Retholis then yanked his blade out of her, and allowed her blood to come pouring out of her gaping wound. It leaked out and soaked the black sand underneath her. He flipped her over on her back, so she could die looking at the sky above them. “I won’t deny that the Empire is ruled by coin,” he told the dying Empress. “But there’s a difference between profiting and profiteering. Only fools engage in wars believing it to be the only means of profit.”

“To remind everyone that he will always be that merciless emperor, who destroys anyone who threatens his reign.” Emery never said anything after that and just glared at the emperor. Meanwhile, Erebus knew too well what that type of look in her eyes was. It was the same as the ones he saw when Emery had been acting reckless and stubborn like a teenager. Even though he wanted to just let her be so she could learn the hard way, however, that would put his life at risk as well. Besides, the emperor may look like he had been tamed, but the bloodlust in his eyes showed that he was still that ruler the empire feared.

"And I'm ten moves ahead." "Until you're not." "That won't happen." "It could. One mistake. One person who can't be bought or threatened. One..." "Enough." I cut him off. "I didn't build this empire by being cautious. I built it by being ruthless. By doing whatever was necessary. And that's not going to change just because I have something to lose now." "Elara, you mean." "Yes. Elara." I look out at the city lights. "Which is exactly why I have to stay ruthless. To protect her. To protect what we have."

We were fighting it the way we loved each other. With violence. With precision. With inevitability. With a bond reckless enough to reshape kingdoms. And God help anyone who stood in the path of a story like that. Because empires crumble. But storms with names? Those live forever.

Alex's POV I walked into my organization with a smile and everyone scurried to their seats. James walked towards me with a grin on his face. "So are you ready to lose your company?" He asked. I looked at him before looking outside. "I don't think you should talking to me early in the morning." I answered He chuckled. "You're still arrogant." "I can't stop being arrogant, I'll fight to the end." "Death is the end," he reminded with a smirk. "Be ready to pay the price just like Lisa because you'll be the next person walking out of this organization."

The king's reputation precedes him, for he is known to be a merciless ruler who spares not even those of high birth. The fallen vampire received a brutal blow to the face as the king mercilessly stomped on him. With each powerful thump, the creature's body began to resemble a freshly baked loaf of bread, while its once-rounded head now appeared strikingly flattened. As the deed was done, the king remained steadfast, his gaze unflinching. The task was easily achieved.

“I am just answering your questions, kiddo. You are the one who is trying to get under my skin.” Kiddo? What does he think of himself? “When you were playing video games, I laid the foundation for my empire. Watch whom you are calling kiddo. And remember how I hit you. If it isn’t for your girlfriend, I could have killed you. Who knows?” I said haughtily. I don’t like showing off unless that person is quite important to me. But, he is making me do this. I guess, he is really getting under my skin. There is another chuckle. “You are taking my silence for my weakness.”

Matthew took a deep breath and exhaled. “Ahem. Good morning everyone and I wish you all a wonderful day. As you know, I am Matthew Dragunov, the newest Dragon Emperor of Destruction after inheriting my ancestor’s power. I have heard the many questions you all have and am here to answer them. As of now the Scarlett Empire remains our enemy. Although my friend here inherited the Scarlett Witch’s legacy, she is not an ally of the Scarlett Empire either. We both seek no quarrel with any one, but we will not simply stand idly if you seek to harm us.”
