“Forget GPE. Dark Shura’s got himself covered by them. If I can just invest a freaking thousand billion dollars, I can develop the Shadow Department as well. Who needs GPE? “Chiroptera, I’ve been feeling uneasy these two days. I think Dark Shura has come to Celestial Empire,” said Tyr. “What?” Chiroptera was startled. “Boss, that’s impossible.

*** *Adrian* I gazed pensively down upon the glittering cityscape spread out before me. Thoughts of my vendetta against MID flickered through my mind, and I imagined the spoils of victory that would flood my veins when I revealed to the world how despicable the company was.

Ports, banks, syndicates—ours. Castellano falls.”* The name “The Shadow” chilled them, a new leader stepping into Elena’s void. Kai’s jaw clenched, his mother’s betrayal and Elena’s vendetta echoing, his voice raw. “The Shadow?

"But shadows don't stay dead. They just wait for the lights to dim." ​Arthur stood up, pacing the length of the room like a caged tiger. The "Roman Empire"—the Volkov syndicate—had been the only force in this city that had ever truly challenged him. They didn't care about stock prices or legal injunctions.

"Someone close to me decided to use extortion against a major technology provider we desperately needed. They completely tanked our infrastructure, locked us out, and left me to crawl to a shadow empire to beg for an audience with a ghost." Through the monochromatic shadows, Selah’s eyes gleamed with a brilliant, calculating heat. She absorbed his words, enjoying the delicious thrill of the moment. He was baring his soul to her, completely blind to the reality that she was the very "ghost" he was preparing to crawl to. "A shadow empire," Selah repeated softly, her voice dripping like warm honey in the dim corridor. "And did you crawl?"

The air was thick with the taste of sulfur and ancient death, heavy enough to rip the breath from mortal lungs. Emperor Caelum rode a top-class shadow-warhorse at the head of the obsidian ridge expeditionary force, his midnight-black imperial coat snapping sharply in the freezing gale.

His gold-and-silver eyes scanned the perimeter with the cold, calculating focus of an apex predator who smelled blood on the wind.

Walking in I watch as everyone stays quiet. I see Evan look towards the fire exit, moving I rush to block it, grabbing him I throw him back. "What do you know?" "Well, the princess won't be ruling the city for long, that is for sure." He laughs, moving I punch him. "Who took her?" "You kill me you will never know." He smiles smugly. "I was expecting your visit, after standing right there watching them talk and listening, I couldn't wait to watch her empire fall down."

he said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. “I'm going to kill you!” she growled, trying to claw at his face. “Not today, and I'd be careful on the threats, your best friend will be next if you decide to disobey me again,” he said pushing her away. “We're always watching, now that I know how to summon you, maybe I'll punish you, there for a while,” he said before disappearing.

He wasn’t by any means weak, but he respected the creator of this novel - half of the time. But, there’s only one person who could beat anything despite all the setbacks. There’s gotta be one person. “Shadow…” He clenched his fist and huffed. “Hah… this is her power.” Shadow was the lord of the Underworld.
