Chapter 24 — Fire & Fury 🔥⚔️
Jay's POV
The fire devoured the USB in seconds. My chest tightened, fury and dread colliding inside me.
Raven's cruel laughter echoed through the hall. "What's gone is gone, Jasper. Now watch everything you built burn with it."
Her men raised their weapons. Panic spread among the guests like wildfire—screams, rushing footsteps, the crashing of chairs.
But Section E didn't move an inch.
Edrix cracked his knuckles.
Denzel smirked, eyes burning.
Felix leaned forward, his voice a low growl. "Wrong move, sweetheart."
My friends—the people I once thought I needed to protect—now stood as my shield.

The Clash
"Take them!" Raven ordered.
Gunfire erupted. The sharp crack of bullets rang out, but Edrix was faster—grabbing a table and flipping it over, creating instant cover.
Keifer pulled me close, shielding me with his body. His voice was sharp, commanding. "Stay behind me, Jay!"
But my blood boiled. "No. This is my fight too."
Adrenaline surged. I grabbed a fallen metal rod, my grip tight. If Raven wanted war, then war she would get.

Section E in Action
Eren tackled one of the gunmen, twisting his arm until the weapon clattered across the floor.
Denzel swung a chair, knocking two men back. "Come on then! Who's next?!"
Felix moved with deadly precision, every punch echoing years of training.
Even Aries, who had always been more brains than brawn, smashed a glass bottle and stood his ground beside Angelo.
It wasn't chaos anymore—it was war. Our war.

Face-Off
Through the smoke and screams, Raven's eyes locked with mine.
She stepped closer, pulling a blade from her belt, the flames reflecting in her pupils. "You can't stop me, Jasper. You never could."
I raised the rod, heart pounding. "Maybe not then. But now…" I steadied my breath, lifting my chin, "…I'm not the girl you left behind. I'm the CEO of Crownveil."
Her smirk faltered—just for a second.

But before our blades could clash, another voice thundered from the balcony above:
"That's enough."
Everyone froze.
A tall figure stepped forward, half-hidden in the shadows. His aura was colder than Raven's, more dangerous, more powerful.
Raven's face drained of color. She actually stepped back.
"N-No… it can't be you…" she whispered, trembling.
The hall went silent, all eyes on him.
And with a chilling smile, he said—
"Hello again… Jasper."
