Aven stood still for a breath before pushing the heavy glass door open. The room beyond was striking — high ceilings, blackwood paneling, steel accents, and a massive digital table screen glowing softly in the center.
Seated around it were the pillars of the Drax family:
— Kaelion Drax, his father, calm and razor-sharp as ever.
— Varek, the first uncle, stoic and commanding.
— Sorell, third uncle, with his usual reserved smile.
— And standing beside the panel in a grey suit was Darion Drax, second uncle — sharp-eyed, sleeves rolled, datapad in hand.
At the far corner stood a man in a black suit — tall, sharp-eyed, giving off a presence that made the air feel denser. Kaelion had briefly introduced him earlier.
Darion glanced up as Aven entered and nodded once.
"Good. You're here. We need to talk about the Veron family."
Aven took his seat, brow slightly furrowed.
Darion tapped the screen, bringing up a holographic overlay of Niremo's southern industrial corridor. Several zones lit up in yellow and red.
"Twenty days. That's all it took for them to feel cornered."
"after you took railway project from them this didn't just embarrass Valeck. It shifted billions in contracts, political leverage, and momentum. The Verons have operated uncontested in this sector for nearly two years. You've cut their vein."
Darion continued, his tone clipped and tactical.
"They're moving with layered pressure — economic sabotage, union manipulation, contractor infiltration. Verdant Freight, one of the Drax logistical arms, has already been penetrated. A strike has been organized for next week."
He brought up another feed — social media trends, articles, and anonymous posts.
"They're using online channels to spread rumors: that you bribed bureau members, that your health is being faked, that this entire project is a laundering front. It's subtle, but aggressive."
Aven's eyes glinted. "And Valeck?"
Darion looked directly at him.
"Frustrated. Dangerous. He's pushing for retaliation. But Marza valeck's sister— their strategist — is holding him back. She knows a public strike now would be fully break of war our family instantly. For now, they aim to fracture your credibility from the shadows."
Kaelion folded his hands. "They want the project to fail. Not you—yet. That's how families work. Destroy what makes you dangerous. Then destroy you."
Aven leaned forward slightly. "Let them try."
Kaelion stood and gestured to the black suit man who remained silent until now.
"Aven, this is Robert Kaess," he said calmly. "He's been assigned for your protection."
Before Aven could respond, Orion's cold, metallic voice echoed in his mind.
["Master, this man is a bloodline warrior… but without a Bloodline Core."]
Aven's eyes sharpened slightly.
"You can tell?" he thought back, startled.
["Indeed. His aura is fractured but disciplined. Likely through non-core awakening. Unstable in long-term battle—but capable in short bursts."]
Aven looked at Robert again, then inwardly asked:
Do you mean bloodlines warriors which you talk about at night.
Things are new to aven !
Orion's voice didn't waver.
["Master, the Drax family itself has at least two bloodline warriors. One is here. If you wish, I can locate the second for you. But it will cost 100 million credits."]( note: credits are you for all over world in volmera)
Aven's expression flickered. "You're charging me to much.
Orion replied, almost amused—if such a tone could be assigned to such a voice.
["This is not , Master. I assist, but nothing comes without price. Consider it… as your training for future nothing comes free.]
Flashback – One day earlier, Aven's Room
Night cloaked the estate in silence. Aven sat at his desk, light from a digital screen casting a pale glow across his face.
Suddenly, Orion spoke again, direct and grave:
> ["Master, the Veron family is on the moves."]
Who Is on move ? [Master veron family was one who was responsible for your accident ,their son valeck veron was one after aven drax means your life now ]
What's this feeling ! anger from who aven or me it doesn't matter I am going to kill valeck veron.
Dig everything related to veron family.
["Master, should I begin scanning all available data on the Veron family?"]
Aven leaned back slightly. "Do it. Search everything."
["Understood. I will run deep scans across public and encrypted channels."
A brief pause.
[ Through protocol V9"...I'm doing this for free this time, Master. But next time, you'll have to pay."]
Aven raised a brow.
> "Really? You're going to charge me for this kind of thing now?"
Orion's voice remained clinical, unfazed.
> ["Master, you know everything comes with a price. I'm doing this for your own good—not because you should get used to receiving things freely."]
Aven sighed, arms crossed.
"That's not the reason you gave ."
["Perhaps not. But consider this a reminder—you're building power. I'm here to assist, not to carry."]
"Fine," Aven muttered. "Now give me what you found."
["Very well. First: the Veron family is planning to manipulate media and sway public sentiment. They intend to bribe several Bureau officials with offers exceeding anything your family currently provides them."]
Aven's expression darkened.
["Lastly—and this came from a broader scan—they have one confirmed bloodline warrior. He's at the middle level of Tier 0 but doesn't possess a Bloodline Core."]
Aven leaned forward slightly.
"Bloodline warrior? What is that? Like superheroes?"
Orion responded instantly.
> ["Not like in your previous World movies, but yes—their power far exceeds that of ordinary humans. A middle-level Tier 0 bloodline warrior can kill over a hundred trained soldiers of Volmera with ease."]
Aven's eyes narrowed as he digested the information.
"So this is the playing field..."
Aven narrowed his eyes.
"Then they're underestimating me again."
As they did once before. Do not give them a second chance.
[But master something is not right their are total bloodline warrior persent in your country total 874 and in your city 10 but all them relying in their bloodline Raw energy not on core of blood line function. Bloodline warrior's news was hide from public view like someone is his hiding them from public view ]
Back to Present – Conference Room
Aven's gaze returned to Robert.aven said "So... protection?"
"Among other things," Kaelion replied. "We're moving into deeper waters. The Veron family won't stay quiet."
Darion stepped forward, tone serious.
"Aven. You've seen what they did. That car crash wasn't just an accident. The Verons are ruthless—and Vairen Veron never forgets a failure.
He activated a projector.
"Their next move is clear. They'll try to destroy our project reputation. Leaking blueprints, stirring labor strikes, manipulating Bureau sentiment. They won't stop until they bring your name down."
Aven didn't speak. He simply stared at the map that appeared on the screen—the same railway corridor that aven from before fought to secure.This project take aven life or merge aven and me with whatever.but he need revenge ,valeck veron be prepared your going to die very soon.
"Let them do what they want," he said coldly. "I'll do what I have to do. Revenge must be done."
Kaelion said nothing—but nodded once.
The silence that followed was not empty.
Than aven smile briefly!
