Synopsis
Title: The Returner: The Ferguson Covenant Synopsis: In the foggy streets of 1888 Victorian London, the prestigious Ferguson empire vanished in a single night. Betrayed by the shadowy "Council of Scorpions," Lord Arthur Ferguson was forced into a tragic suicide to save his only son, Edward. Left with nothing but ruins and a blood-stained legacy, Edward discovers a forbidden family heirloom: a mystical Ruby Ring. With a single drop of blood, he awakens an ancient, terrifying entity from another realm—a demonic servant named Tula. "Power is never free, Young Master. To reclaim your throne, you must pay the price." The cost? Edward’s left eye. Now, hiding his loss behind a sleek black eye-patch, Edward begins his cold-blooded ascent. Under Tula’s supernatural guidance, he must master everything from the intricate arts of the culinary world to the lethal strategies of high-stakes finance and shadow warfare. He is no longer the broken heir. He is The Returner. And in his world, revenge is a dish best served cold, prepared by a demon, and delivered with a smile

Chapter 1 - Prologue: The Covenant of Mist and Blood

They say London never sleeps, but the truth is it merely hides behind its thick fog, as if washing its sins in the murky waters of the Thames. In the nineteenth century, gold coins were not just pieces of metal; they were the heartbeat of the Empire. And he who controlled that heartbeat controlled life and death itself.

The Ferguson family was more than just a merchant dynasty; they were the "Lords of the Seas and Guardians of the Deals." They built their glory with sharp intellect and a secret that no one dared to utter—a secret hidden within a ring that glowed only in the hand of its rightful owner, a power that awakened only for the scent of loyal blood.

But greed is the black hole that swallows even the brightest stars. In a night of treachery, written with the ink of betrayal, the "Falcon" who protected the family fell. Lord Arthur Ferguson committed suicide, leaving behind an only son, the ruins of an empire, and a mysterious testament that did not ask for peace... but drew a path to hell.

This is not a story about lost wealth, nor is it a mere tale of a young man claiming his inheritance. It is the epic of "Edward Ferguson," the man who decided to burn the memories of his weakness and ally himself with a "Shadow" from ancient times to wage a merciless war.

On the cobblestone streets of London, where the scent of rain mixes with the smell of gunpowder, everyone will know that stolen rights are not returned through begging; they are reclaimed by the edge of the sword, the mastery of trade, and a servant who sees the world through crimson eyes.

Prepare yourselves... for the "Fergusons" have returned, and this time, the return will leave no one in peace.
