Chapter 300: The Phantom’s Awakening

The night air was thick with tension as Ochieng stood on the rooftop of Emerald Grand Hotel, overlooking the city's glittering skyline. The knowledge he had just unearthed weighed heavily on him, yet his heartbeat remained steady. His enemies had lived in comfort for too long. It was time to change that.

The phone in his pocket vibrated.

Tielen: "Boss, we have confirmed their locations. All eight of them."

Ochieng's eyes darkened. These weren't just any enemies. They were the Eight Phantom Clans, a collection of the most powerful underground families in the world, each ruling a different province. They had been the ones responsible for his parents' downfall.

And now?

They had no idea that the very child they sought to erase was the leader of all eight provinces.

Ochieng slipped into his custom black Qipao suit, its embroidery woven with dragon patterns in gold and deep crimson. His presence was both elegant and lethal. With a slow exhale, he adjusted the diamond-studded cufflinks—a silent tribute to his late father.

At that moment, the doors behind him swung open.

Linet, Wendy, Jeff, and Tielen walked in, their expressions serious.

Wendy spoke first. "Everything is set. We just need your word."

Ochieng turned to face them. "Tonight, we don't start a war." His voice was cold. "We finish it."

A deep silence followed before Jeff let out a low chuckle. "Understood, Boss. Let's give them a nightmare they'll never wake from."

One by one, they each placed a silver insignia ring on their fingers—a mark of their allegiance.

As Ochieng picked up the final black diamond ring, he whispered under his breath.

"Father, Mother… your son has returned."

Then, without another word, they disappeared into the night.
