Mia took a deep breath. She stared at the shabby motel on the side of the road not far from her destination city, Denver. After a long debate with herself, Mia finally decided to get out of the old truck that the middle-aged man had given her.
The deal was for her to give a yellow envelope to a man named Jaxon Bradwood that was safely tucked away in her backpack without opening or breaking the envelope, sealed as it was first given, and after that, she was free to go anywhere.
It seemed like an easy task, but something amiss had been on Mia’s head ever since she left Blueberry. She still didn’t believe that middle-aged man.
Arguing for a long time with her thoughts, Mia decided to stay at one old motel. She had no choice. She realized she could not last long in Denver with two thousand dollars. A cheap room can save a few bucks for other necessities.
The following day, Mia decided to continue the journey. Two hours later, she arrived in Denver and chose to stop at a restaurant before looking for a motel. She feels hungry and tired, but Mia knows that restaurants are the perfect place to ask questions and fill her stomach.
She had just sat down when a woman her age approached and asked for an order.
“Apple Pie and coffee,” she ordered.
The restaurant looked old but well maintained. Some visitors enjoy hot coffee at this hour. The atmosphere there was so calm. It made Mia feel comfortable after traveling for hours.
The waitress brought Mia’s order while giving a polite smile. Before the waitress left, Mia dared to ask as the middle-aged man had suggested.
“Do you know a man named Jaxon Bradwood?” Mia asked without thinking.
The servant’s smiling face disappeared instantly. Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed like she was skinning Mia. Her previously friendly movements turned alert. Seeing that, Mia felt uncomfortable.
“No, I don’t know the man you mentioned.”
The waitress just walked away in an impolite manner.
Mia felt disappointed and looked at the food in front of her with no appetite. If it weren’t for the middle-aged man’s threats, she wouldn’t have traveled to Denver just to be a courier. Annoyed, Mia cut the pie on her plate as if she was mutilating someone.

Frenzy screams echoed through the dungeon. They shouted harsh words of encouragement to the two men who fought in the ring known as the Red Cage. The two men seemed to be fighting between life and death by beating each other hard and mercilessly.
Gavin Caleston watched the fight as he watched the rest of the audience from the second floor, which immediately saw the view below. From where he sat, Gavin got the most strategic access to show his social status in the underworld. Nobody wants to deal with a man like him, but unlike the man sitting next to him, Jaxon Bradwood, they call him ‘The King of Underground. Everyone in Denver knew Jaxon very well and feared his being merciless.
“I bet the fight this time is won by Fritz,” said Gavin among the crowd’s cheers of encouragement.
Jaxon glanced at Gavin, shaking his head to disagree, “I bet on Joe.”
Gavin raised an eyebrow, doubtful.
“The bet?”
Jaxon shrugged, “Apartments on the Upper Side.”
“That’s it?” Gavin asked, disparaging. He felt sure that Fritz had won.
Seeing Jaxon, who was silent and seemed not to care, finally, Gavin followed the man’s game.
“All right, I’ll give you the apartment building. Give to me Aurelia Castle.”
Jaxon smiled faintly as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“I knew you’d be playing dirty, Gavin,” he said, shaking his head.
There was no way he could exchange his precious castle for a building of twenty-eight floors. Not worth it.
Pretending to look innocent, Gavin stared straight into Jaxon’s eyes.
“What are you talking about, Jax? I don’t know what you mean.”
Rey Fredrik, who had heard the conversation between his two friends, just shook his head. The three of them have been friends since childhood, and this kind of conversation is common, but sometimes Rey feels that their friendship has no boundaries if one of them wants something.
Everyone knows that Aurelia Castle was built on a golden hill. Jaxon seemed to have deliberately constructed his ‘palace’ on a land full of gold sources as if he was declaring that he did not need a palace full of gold when the ground beneath his estate was a source of gold itself.
”Deal,” said Jaxon, giving Gavin and Rey a surprising answer. The two men stared at Jaxon in disbelief.
Before Gavin had time to ask, the victory bells that marked the end of the fight sounded loud, accompanied by triumphant screams from the audience and the winner himself.
Gavin’s head turned quickly toward the ring, representing the situation where Fritz sprawled on the floor while Joe swung his hands in the air, signaling his supporters to continue shouting his name in triumph.
Stunned, Gavin looked at the scene before him, his body frozen and his mouth slightly open. He didn’t even notice the pat Jaxon was giving on his shoulder.
“Tomorrow, my lawyer will see you, don’t forget to have all the paperwork ready, Gavin. I thank you for your ... generosity, mate.”
Rey’s laughter was swallowed by the shouts of two thousand other people chanting Joe’s name.

Mia appears to be talking and laughing with Disya in the gazebo when they both hear footsteps from the right side of the garden. At the same time, the women turned to face the source of the voice, who was none other than Allana.Mia greeted the arrival of her closest maids with a smile and invited her to join the table. On the other hand, Allana refused, turning her head slightly towards the path she had been on.Mia and Disya were also drawn to the female servant’s gaze. However, they discovered nothing, which puzzled Mia.“What exactly is it?”Allana returned her gaze to the two women in front of her and responded with a wave of hesitation.“There is... someone who wishes to meet... you and Miss Flontin,” she said, looking over at Disya, who was still sitting quietly with a cup of tea in her hand.Mia’s brows rose to her brows upon hearing this explanation.“Would you like to... see this person?” she asked, unsure.Because no one would look for her during her time in Aurelia, especi
Jaxon walked into the family’s living room, and there sat Jeff Bradwood, accompanied by his stepmother, Ruby. Jeff’s shoulders tensed as he noticed the presence of Red Cage members in the room, even though he had heard them before reaching the gate. However, seeing the parade of men enter the room, Jeff couldn’t even move from his seat on the sofa.“Jeff,” Jaxon said, putting his hands in his trouser pockets.Instead of responding, Jeff Bradwood simply cleared his throat and looked around. He consciously avoided his son’s bored stare.Jaxon’s gaze was drawn to Ruby, who smiled sensuously. But he ignored her. His attention was drawn back to his father, who was attempting to maintain a poker face.“I see you’re doing well,” Jaxon said as he sat down on the couch and made small talk.He gave the two people in front of him a difficult-to-read look.Meanwhile, the rest of the Red Cage appeared to be dispersed throughout the room. He seems to be on guard and keeping an eye on the situation.
Salvador arrived at their hidden island a few hours after the morning had passed. However, Fabiana was not among the people taken by the man.“Did you leave her in Chicago?”Jaxon’s gaze followed the people Salvador had brought to their island, one by one.“Yes,” the man said as he approached Gioluca’s nursing home. “But don’t be concerned. That woman is in a safe house, and only a few people I trust and I know about it.”Jaxon was aware that asking someone how effective they were at establishing people in organizations similar to their own would undermine their credibility. He stopped asking inquiries as a result.“Has Uncle Gio’s consciousness returned?”The question made Jaxon aware of his wandering thoughts.“He's still sleeping. And trust me, you have to be careful when you talk to the elderly guy about Mia and Disya.”Salvador gave Jaxon a weak smile. He was already aware that this was devastating news for him.“I see what you mean.”When the two arrived at Gioluca’s treatment f
Jaxon was alone on the balcony smoking when Nicko appeared from behind. The two guys stood parallel to the railing, seemingly in silence. Jaxon made the motion of passing smokes between them, indicating whatever had been previously forgotten between them.Now one could see the two males sharing a cigarette. They were admiring the lovely sky, which had a layer of Milky Way far above them.They both have access to a view of the night sky on this island, which is uncommon in urban areas. The sky there was considerably brighter than what they were accustomed to. Additionally, the moon’s crimson light seems to hover gracefully amid the various nighttime sights as if trying to distract the watchers’ gaze from what lies below.Jaxon finally spoke after a long silence. He held his stiff neck from looking up too long.In between cigarette puffs, he added, “Mia met Disya at De La Crush.”Nicko just nodded and murmured in response while placing the end of his cigarette in the ashtray.“She also
Four hours later…Six pairs of irritated eyes were staring at Jaxon.Nicko appeared to be the most agitated of the men at the table.“I told you not to kill him, Jax!”Rey attempted to calm him down for a brief moment.“The situation has now returned to normal. It is no longer necessary to make everything complicated,” said Rey, who attempted to take control of the situation. “Besides, no matter what we tell him, the possibility of a heart attack exists”Nicko tried to take a deep breath and massaged his throbbing temples.“Shit,” he exclaimed, clenching his fists and spilling them onto the helpless table.Meanwhile, Jaxon, who had been on trial earlier, could only look at his friends with resignation. He should have taken a more straightforward approach, but for some reason, his mouth was too bold to reveal everything. There was no way to open the conversation with a topic like that.“I’m sorry,” he said, sighing tiredly.Fortunately, Gioluca is in good health. And it is still being
