Introduction

Three hundred mercenaries. Fifty excavators. The Savage family gates? Smashed.

Jaxon is back. Soaked in bloodlust. And he’s here for revenge.

But he didn’t expect this — his daughter has been taken. They want to drain her dry to forge stronger soldiers.

What he really didn’t expect? His own blood is worth far more than hers.

Now underground powers are circling. They want to turn him into a breeding machine. Even untouchable generals want a piece.

They all thought Jaxon was the prey.

Right up until the mercenary army rolled in.

Then they realized… who they really messed with.

Chapter 1

March.

At the entrance of Whispering Pines Cemetery in Windsong Town, three hundred mercenaries dressed in black suits stood in silence, surrounding the entire cemetery so tightly that not even water could pass through.

All because a big shot was here mourning his parents.

The important figures in town had gotten wind of this early on and all wanted to get closer to see what was happening, but not a single person could step foot into the cemetery.

Even people from Windsong Town's four major families were blocked outside.

Deep in the cemetery.

Jaxon Storm held a black umbrella, dressed in black, standing in the rain.

"Dad, Mom, I came to see you."

He gently placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, his voice choking up.

Five years ago, his grandfather passed away, and the Storm Group was passed down to his father.

Those jealous relatives in the family colluded with outsiders to set up a trap, forcing his parents to drink poison and die with grievances.

Jaxon wanted to get justice for his parents, but was betrayed by his most trusted friend, who had his legs broken and threw him into Oakbend River.

Fortunately, he was meant to survive. Someone rescued him, and he joined a mercenary organization.

He harbored hatred in his heart and fought battles like he had nothing to lose.

After five years of bloody battles, he climbed to the top of the mercenary world by stepping on his enemies' corpses, with countless mercenaries under his command.

He earned the title King of Mercenaries.

Now, he was back.

Only for revenge!

"General Storm!"

Nightshade, the only woman among the four chief mercenaries, walked over quickly.

Jaxon withdrew his gaze, his tone heavy, "Did you find out?"

Nightshade reported in a low voice, "Tonight Tomas is at the Savage Manor, about to hold a wedding with your wife Amelia."

Tomas Savage was once his best friend.

The day after Jaxon's wedding five years ago, something happened at home. When he had nowhere to turn, he went to Tomas for help.

Who knew Tomas would betray him.

Tomas and the Storm family members together held him down by Oakbend River, broke both his legs, and humiliated him to the extreme.

He even laughed and said that after Jaxon died, he would get some men to "take good care of" his wife.

Thinking of those words, murderous intent surged in Jaxon's eyes.

"General Storm, what's the plan?" Nightshade asked carefully.

"Go order three hundred coffins."

"And bring fifty excavators over."

"Tonight, I'm going to turn this wedding into a funeral."

...

Today at the Savage Manor, there was nothing but celebration.

At the wedding.

Charles Savage, the head of the Savage family, announced that the Savage Group would go public tomorrow.

His daughter Chloe Savage and son Tomas led the applause, their faces full of pride.

Through five years of flattering and pleasing the Storm family, the Savage family had finally become wealthy and powerful.

They would also become the most upper-class rich kids in Windsong Town.

Chloe smiled, "Tomas, congratulations. From now on, you'll be the heir to the Savage Group."

A cold smile crossed Tomas's lips, "I have to thank Jaxon for this. Without him, we couldn't have gotten close to the Storm family."

"On such a happy day, don't mention that idiot. It's bad luck."

Chloe had once pursued Jaxon. After being rejected, love turned to hate.

"You're right. It's just a shame he can't see me with his woman with his own eyes."

An evil smile appeared on Tomas's face.

But halfway through his smile, it suddenly froze.

On the red carpet, a man strode forward.

Dressed in black, tall and upright.

Just by walking, he gave off an imposing presence.

"Jaxon!"

Tomas jumped in shock.

"Are you... are you human or ghost?"

Chloe also looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"There are no ghosts in this world, so naturally I'm human."

Jaxon walked up to Tomas, his voice cold, "I heard you're marrying my wife?"

"So what if I am?" Tomas said with a dark face, "I didn't expect you to still be alive, but you dare come here alone, you're looking for death. After the wedding, I'll watch you turn into a corpse with my own eyes!"

"Really? Too bad you won't live that long."

Murderous intent burst from Jaxon's eyes, as if looking at a dead man.

With Jaxon's appearance, the crowd also became restless.

"Isn't that Jaxon from the Storm family?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he's not part of the Storm family anymore."

"I heard Jaxon's parents wanted to sell the Storm Group to a foreign consortium. After being discovered, they committed suicide out of guilt. Now Jaxon's family has been removed from the Storm family."

"What! Isn't that betraying the country?"

"Exactly. Suicide was too easy for them. They should have been executed slowly."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Jaxon felt incredibly cold.

Those relatives destroyed his family, and that wasn't enough - they also had to ruin his parents' reputation.

What kind of family does such things?

"Today is my son's wedding. You better behave yourself."

Charles strode over and threw out a bank card, "There's fifty thousand dollars here. For the sake of you and my son growing up together, when Amelia comes out, you give her your blessing, and this money is yours."

The onlookers burst into laughter.

"Dad, fifty thousand dollars is too easy to earn, right? No, we need to add a condition."

Chloe stepped forward and stomped on the bank card with her high heel, "My high heels got dusty. You kneel down and lick them clean, then you can take the money."

The Jaxon of the past was the heir to the Storm family, full of spirit.

Chloe loved him to the bone.

But now.

No matter how you looked at it, Jaxon seemed like a lowly dog.

She even wanted to kick him hard while he was licking her shoes.

And yell that he wasn't even worthy of licking her shoes.

Faced with Chloe's humiliation, Jaxon just stared at her coldly.

"Won't kneel? Not enough money?"

Tomas threw out another bank card, "I'll add another fifty thousand dollars. You kneel down and shout three times that you're willing to give your wife to me, and the money is yours."

"Interesting."

Chloe covered her mouth and laughed lightly, walking to Jaxon's side and saying softly, "Hurry up, take the money and get lost. Don't embarrass yourself here. As for that bitch Amelia, once she marries into our family, I'll humiliate her badly."

Before she finished speaking, a slap came.

Jaxon's slap, filled with rage.

It sent Chloe flying 30 feet away.

The whole room was shocked.

"You dare hit my sister!"

Tomas's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed over to attack.

Slap!

Another slap.

Tomas also flew 30 feet away.

Everyone gasped.

Who would have thought.

The former loser.

Would dare to attack on the Savage family's turf?

"You dare act wild here!"

Charles was furious, looking at Jaxon with vicious eyes.

"I'm not just going to act wild, I'm going to destroy your Savage family today!"

Jaxon responded coldly.

What!

At these words, everyone was stunned.

"Is he crazy? Does he still think he's the heir to the Storm family?"

"The Savage family is not what it used to be. Even if he were the Storm family heir, he couldn't destroy the Savage family."

"His brain must be broken."

Amid all the discussion, a dozen suited thugs rushed in and surrounded Jaxon.

Charles looked sinister, "You've been removed from the Storm family. Now you're nothing but a loser with nothing. What ability do you have to fight my Savage family?"

Tomas and Chloe also got up from the ground.

"You dare hit me, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in Tomas's eyes.

"Today he must kneel before me and apologize."

Chloe took off her high heel and threw it on the ground in frustration.

The dozen suited thugs looked at Jaxon viciously, cracking their knuckles.

Jaxon narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

Rumble!

Suddenly the ground shook inside the venue, making everyone dizzy.

Everyone felt strange.

Wondering if it was an earthquake?

But next, everyone was dumbfounded.

They saw dozens of excavators crash through the manor gates and charge in.
