The Betrayed Heir's Bloody Comeback

Five years ago, Horus Haveli—the rightful heir of the Haveli family—was framed by his father's adopted son Joseph, his reputation destroyed, thrown into Khard Maximum Security Prison. On the day he should have walked free, the warden received a ten-million-dollar bribe from Joseph and tried to extend his sentence by another ten years.

That was a mistake. When the warden ordered the guards to teach him a lesson, Horus began to count down—three, two, one. He had given one warning: if he was out one second late, the prison would cease to exist. Moments later, Commander Dennis of the First Legion stormed the facility to welcome General Haveli's release. The warden, now begging, revealed the full conspiracy: Joseph had also bribed the judge and the chief of police.

Horus drove straight to the Haveli mansion. There, he confronted his ex, Heather, and the memory of her betrayal surfaced in full force. Five years ago, she had been tangled up with Joseph—laughing at how rough he was, mocking Horus as weak-willed, only knowing how to please her. Joseph had her under his control, and together they helped set the trap that sent Horus to prison. Back in the present, after Horus made her pay for those words, Joseph demanded he kneel and beg. Bodyguards swarmed. They were cut down by Horus's men. His father Lanec arrived, defending Joseph—praising the ten-billion-dollar infrastructure contract Joseph had secured, dismissing Horus as a useless prisoner. His stepmother Lisa piled on, calling him a disgrace.

Then the governor of Dovecy, Arnold Finch, walked through the door. The family scrambled toward him, demanding arrests. Finch walked past them, knelt before Horus, and said, "Pleased to meet you, General Haveli." The contract was void. Joseph's thirty-million-dollar bribe evaporated.

Horus handed his father a stack of paper and told him to eat every scrap. He made Heather crawl around the living room barking like a dog. Lisa, seeing the power shift, offered herself to him. Horus had her husband Lanec placed in the next room, forced to watch, before Lisa was demoted to the estate's lowest servant.

When Joseph was transferred to Khard Prison, Horus sent word to Warden Julia—the very same warden who had tried to extend his sentence, now eager to please him—to ensure a proper welcome. The temperature was dropped, meals were spoiled, and fellow inmates were given instructions. Broken, Joseph finally talked: five years ago, the Obsidian organization approached him. They orchestrated Horus's downfall to seize the Haveli infrastructure network. They are building seven bases under Dovecy, their ultimate goal the purging of the world and a new order.
