Meanwhile, somewhere across the city, inside a luxurious room of a towering building, Xander had arranged a meeting with the leader of the Monsta Clan.
The man sitting across from him had a reputation soaked in blood. Known for his brutal methods, he was also a sworn enemy of Morris Hardley—the former leader of the DarkKnight Clan.
There had once been rumors that the two were friends.
But a personal rift had turned that bond into a lifelong rivalry—one that lasted until Morris's final days.
"I wasn't expecting to hear from you, Ace," the man said with a smirk, using Xander's underworld name. "But I'm glad you finally agreed to meet me."
Kael was about Xander's age and had taken over the clan after his father's death. People often said he was as twisted as his father, Lucifer.
But from what Xander had learned over the years…
Kael was worse.
"I won't waste time, Kael," Xander said coldly.
