In a heartbeat, Aman found himself facing a surreal encounter that sent shivers down his spine. The last thing he ever expected was to come face to face with the infamous and sinister figure, Charlie Wade, right here in New York, inside the home of a mafia kingpin.

Ever since Charlie had single-handedly foiled Aman’s grand scheme to win the heart of Princess Helena, he had become a haunting specter in Aman’s life. It wasn’t just about his thwarted royal marriage plans, Charlie had even dared to humiliate Aman personally, repeatedly, with open slaps to the face.

Though Aman had clawed his way from humble beginnings to become an oligarch who answered to no one, Charlie was the one exception, the only man who had ever asserted dominance over him. In normal circumstances, Aman would’ve plotted his revenge meticulously, but this time, he hesitated.

Why?

Because Charlie was no ordinary foe he had the formidable might of the Wade family behind him, wealthier and more influential than Aman himself. However, the true reason for Aman’s pause wasn’t just the Wade family’s riches, it was the enigmatic force known as the Dragon Temple, lurking in the shadows.

Unbeknownst to Aman, the Dragon Temple had pledged allegiance to Charlie, a fact that he remained blissfully ignorant of. He believed that the Wade family had simply handed over half their wealth to appease and gain the Temple’s favor.

Aman’s disdain for the Wade family was akin to that of a landowner confronted by a turncoat, needing to extend politeness despite his desire for treason and glory. Although Aman had a sense of superiority, he couldn’t underestimate the power behind the Wade family.

Little did he know, Charlie was no ordinary visitor to New York.

On this day, as he disembarked from his plane and before he could even settle at Antonio’s residence, he stumbled upon Jagoan once again. The resurgence of old humiliations fueled his anger and left him clenching his fists, teeth gritted in frustration.
