The events at Heaven's Crown Nightclub spread like wildfire across the eight provinces. Every influential family, every underground force, and every business mogul had heard the same name—Ochieng.
He had humiliated the Dragon Society, stood unshaken against Liang Shen, and walked away untouched.
But power attracts enemies.
And someone, somewhere, was already making their next move.

The morning sun filtered through the towering glass windows of Horizon Tower, the most prestigious building on campus. Inside a spacious lecture hall, students whispered among themselves, their eyes occasionally darting toward one person.
Ochieng.
He sat at the back, casually flipping through his phone, as if he hadn't shaken the entire underworld the night before.
At the front of the class, Professor Wen was explaining economic models, but the murmurs refused to die down.
"Did you hear? Liang Shen confronted Ochieng last night!"
"And he walked away like a king. Is he really just a student?"
"I heard his family background is terrifying."
Ochieng ignored them. His world wasn't confined to a lecture hall. He had businesses to run, alliances to form, and enemies to silence.
Just then, the door swung open.
Catherine Zhou, the top beauty of the Business Department, walked in, her high heels clicking against the floor. Dressed in an elegant white Chanel dress, she turned heads effortlessly.
Her eyes locked onto Ochieng.
She walked straight toward him, ignoring the whispers, and sat down beside him.
"We need to talk."
Ochieng didn't even glance at her. "Busy."
She frowned. "It's about your parents."
The air around him shifted.
For the first time, Ochieng lifted his gaze, his sharp eyes locking onto hers.
"Speak."
Catherine hesitated, lowering her voice. "Someone's digging into their past. And they're not doing it for nostalgia."
A cold chill ran through Ochieng's veins.
His parents' deaths had always been shrouded in mystery, a tragedy that had pushed him into the world of power and darkness. If someone was investigating now…
It meant the past was catching up to him.
And he wasn't sure if that was a good thing.
