Silvit Family Private Island - POV
At the very heart of the island, within an impenetrable fortress lined with razor-sharp barbed wires and an arsenal of high-caliber weapons, security was at its peak. Armed men patrolled relentlessly, machine guns mounted at strategic locations, and cannons positioned to obliterate any incoming threat.
Deep beneath this fortress, in an underground control center, a massive room housed 50 to 70 surveillance screens, each broadcasting live footage from cameras stationed throughout the island. Rows of men sat at terminals, monitoring every angle, every movement, ensuring nothing slipped through their watchful eyes.
Security on this island never slept. It was a rotating system of vigilance shifts changed, but the intensity remained the same.

Inside the Headquarters Room
. A tense silence filled the air. The only sound was the hum of monitors and the occasional clacking of keyboards.
Suddenly, a phone beeped.
Larry, the ever-loyal secretary of Theo Silvit, ended the call and turned to his boss, his expression grim.
"Sir Theo, our residence in Wolly City has been attacked."
The words were like gasoline thrown into a fire.
SLAM!
Theoās hand came down hard on the armrest of his chair, his fingers digging into the leather. His bloodshot eyes burned with rage.
"I expected retaliation⦠but this fast?" Theoās voice was low, venomous.
His heart pounded with anger only he knew the weight of what was happening.
First, his carefully planned scheme failed.
Second, the Kane family got wind of his actions.
Third, he was forced to abandon his family estate, a place that had stood for generations.
Now, he had no choice but to stay on this island for years to come.
And worst of all⦠his son.
Theo clenched his jaw, recalling the moment he had seen Tony with his own eyes.
When his men managed to retrieve Tony from the back exit of the nightclub, Theo had met them on the way to his private jet. He had expected some injuries. After all, it was a fight. But what he sawā¦
Made his blood boil.
His son his only heir was reduced to nothing but a broken shell.
As soon as Theo landed on the island, Tony was rushed to the underground medical lab, a place where only his most trusted doctors worked.
But even before the official report, just looking at his sonās mangled body told Theo everything he needed to know.
Still, the doctorās words crushed him even further.
---
"Sir⦠his condition is beyond repair."
Theoās hands trembled as he listened.
"His arms and legs were completely shattered. The bones werenāt just broken they were pulverized. Whoever did this used a heavy weapon to systematically crush each limb."
The doctorās face was pale, his voice shaking as he continued.
"His spinal cord has been critically damaged. His ribcage was broken strategically, so no vital organs were hit, but⦠his entire lower body is permanently disabled."
Theoās eyes darkened.
"And⦠his reproductive organā¦"
The doctor hesitated.
Theoās fingers twitched. "Say it."
"Crushed beyond recognition."
For a few seconds, the room was deathly silent.
Then, Theo exploded.
He smashed a nearby medical tray, sending surgical tools crashing to the floor.
The rage coursing through him was immeasurable.
---
"This is a fking miracle heās even alive!" The doctor continued nervously. "I⦠I donāt know how his main organs werenāt damaged. Itās as if whoever did this⦠deliberately kept him alive while ensuring he could never live a normal life again."
The sheer precision and cruelty behind the act was terrifying.
Tony wasnāt just beaten. He was erased.
Reduced to a living corpse.
Theoās breath was ragged, his fury uncontainable. His entire body shook with unfiltered hatred.
His only son the heir of the Silvit family was destroyed.
And it didnāt stop there.
When news came that over 300 of his men had been slaughtered by a single man Theo almost lost his mind.
"What kind of bullshit is this?" He had roared.
He didnāt believe it. It wasnāt possible.
So he turned to the only survivor.
Bobby.
Bobby was the one who had retrieved Tony from the nightclub. The only one who returned alive from the squadron of 300 men.
Theo demanded answers.
And when Bobby repeated the same unbelievable story, Theoās paranoia skyrocketed.
"Thereās no way Lucian Kane did this alone. YOU BETRAYED ME, DIDNāT YOU?"
No matter how much Bobby swore he was telling the truth, Theo refused to believe him.
In the end⦠he killed Bobby, too.
Just in case.
Now, Theo was consumed by something worse than anger...Pure, undiluted hatred.

Present Time Inside the Underground Headquarters
The weight of it all was suffocating.
The attack on Wolly City was the final insult.
The Silvit family residence, standing for centuries, had been invaded and destroyed.
For a patriarch to lose his home⦠it was the ultimate disgrace.
Theoās hands clenched into tight fists. His teeth gritted together. His entire body trembled.
His only son was crippled. His elite soldiers were wiped out. His ancestral home was in ruins.
And all of thisā¦
Because of Lucian Kane.
Theoās breath came in ragged gasps, his fury reaching a dangerous peak. Experience new stories on Freewebnovel
"Who was it?" he snarled, his voice like a blade cutting through the tense air. "The military? Kane family operatives? How many people? Give me their names I swear, every single one of them, no matter who they are, Iāll kill them all! Even if it takes years, even if I have to wipe out their entire bloodline!"
His chest rose and fell erratically as he turned his bloodshot eyes toward Larry, who was scanning his phone with a deep frown.
The men stationed around the headquarters room, monitoring security feeds and operating the facility, remained motionless. None of them dared to look up, their bodies stiff with tension.
They had seen Theo like this before. And every time he lost control, someone paid the price with their life.
Larry, still staring at his screen, gulped audibly before finally speaking.
"It⦠it wasnāt the military, sir," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Theoās eyes twitched.
"So it was Kaneās hidden force?" He clenched his fists, his veins bulging in barely restrained rage. "I see, I see⦠Get me full bio-data. I want every single face of those who dared set foot on our land."
Larry hesitated, swallowing hard before forcing the words out. "Sir⦠it wasnāt a force. The attack was carried out by⦠just two people."
For a moment, silence hung in the room like a noose.
Two?
Only two?
