“But that doesn’t mean we have to accept it. I Dao Wei, will never blame anyone for my own shortcomings! The so-called Law of the Jungle is something I will rewrite with my own hands!” Each word he spoke seemed to resonate with power, the air around him growing heavy with the force of his conviction. The dark child looked up, his anger wavering, replaced by something akin to fear as Dao Wei’s words crashed down on him like mountains, crushing the doubts that had festered within. “This is my Law!” Dao Wei declared, his voice rising as he drew himself to his full height. “And I am the Law!” Rumble!

However, whether it was work of fate or work of an evil seductress, he stumbled upon a rare beauty that he cannot set his eyes off. And before his money and rationality could ever warn him, Hawk had fallen into something his billions cannot buy. *** "Who are you?" Hawk managed to ask between his ragged breath. "That depends on who you want me to be," The girl uttered and for the first time, Hawk saw her upturned honey-colored eyes. Looking into it was like drowning yourself into something magical, something hypnotizing and very much irresistible that when the girl tiptoed to meet his lips, he willingly lowered his head to welcome her. And he was right there, opening his mouth for her—warm and wet—giving everything he must give and was kissing her back with equal ardor.

"Nothing," Her smile widened a little more, making her face bright and goddess-like and Hawk became more defenseless with that. "It's just that I only want you to have a free taste. The next of course comes with a big price"

In a world where the most powerful forces operate in the shadows, a man known only as "the Lord" holds dominion over an empire of secrecy and fear. Hidden deep within a concealed military base, he is a figure of cold precision, his authority unchallenged and his wrath feared by all who serve him. The Lord's true identity is shrouded in mystery, but his influence is unmistakable—he is a man who can destroy entire families with a single command, a force capable of reshaping the world according to his will. The novel follows the Lord as he navigates a web of power, deception, and revenge. At the heart of his mission is the protection of two sisters, Sarah and Helena, who have become targets of powerful families bent on their destruction. As the Lord orders the annihilation of these families, his motives remain unclear—are the sisters mere pawns in a larger game, or is there a deeper, more personal connection that drives him? As the Lord’s forces, including the deadly agents known as Holy1 and Holy2, move to protect the sisters, the novel delves into the intricate dynamics of loyalty, power, and sacrifice. The Lord’s allies, including the mysterious and bold Black Rose, reveal layers of intrigue and hidden agendas, each playing their part in a game where failure is not an option. Throughout the story, the Lord’s past and his connection to the sisters slowly come to light, revealing a history of betrayal, loss, and a vow that has driven him to the brink of darkness. As the plot unfolds, the Lord must confront not only the enemies that threaten his world but also the ghosts of his past and the true nature of the power he wields. In a world where the lines between ally and enemy blur, and where every decision carries the weight of life and death, the Lord must navigate a path that could either lead to ultimate victory or devastating ruin. The novel builds to a climactic confrontation where the Lord’s true identity and purpose are revealed, setting the stage for a battle that will determine the fate of those he swore to protect—and the very future of the shadowy world he controls. This novel is a tale of ruthless power, hidden loyalties, and the lengths one man will go to protect those he holds dear, even as he wages a war that could consume him entirely.
