00:00:00Choose one to be your mate. None of them. I choose Damon, the crippled Alpha. I am the only direct
00:00:06bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack. Yet, I was born a female Alpha who couldn't even maintain
00:00:13a stable wolf form. I spent 10 years chasing after Kaylin Stone until one day, standing outside his
00:00:19bedroom door, I heard him swear to Vivian Moss. I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position. You're
00:00:25the only one I want. The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived when a servant screamed. Help!
00:00:31Vivian is missing! Then she appeared, crying, running. It was Lyra. She had me taken. My head
00:00:38snapped to the side. Silence swallowed the entire hall. Then he looked at me. I will never mark
00:00:44someone like you. Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate. If everything comes
00:00:49down to power and survival, then I choose strength, not sentiment. Choose one to be your mate. One
00:00:55of these potential Alpha candidates will become the next Alpha of our pack. None of them.
00:01:02I choose Damon, the crippled Alpha. I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:01:10Yet, I was born a female Alpha. Everyone said that the five orphans my father brought back from the
00:01:15battlefield were the true future of the pack. He raised them into the most admired Beta Warriors
00:01:21in Iron Moon. As for me, I was nothing more than a pretty heir with noble blood who couldn't even
00:01:27maintain a stable wolf form. And as far as those five were concerned, I barely existed. I spent ten
00:01:34years chasing after Caelan Stone, only to earn countless looks of disdain in return. I used to
00:01:41think he treated all women that way. Until one day, standing outside his bedroom door, I heard him swear to
00:01:47Vivian Moss. I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position. You're the only mate I want.
00:01:52Maybe I don't.
00:01:54Those words shattered everything I had believed in for the past ten years. On the eve of the Elder's
00:02:01Council meeting, my father asked me who I wanted to choose. I thought of the way all five of them
00:02:06avoided my gaze. If I'm getting married, I might as well make it strategic. I choose Damon Bloodfing of the
00:02:13Bloodfill Pack. Damon was poisoned by silver five years ago. His legs were left paralyzed,
00:02:18and rumors say he can't even complete a mating mark anymore. Are you sure?
00:02:22Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate. If everything comes down to power and
00:02:28survival, then I choose strength, not sentiment. Damon may be crippled, but his bloodline, his pack,
00:02:33and his warriors still outweigh those five men combined. My father's expression darkened.
00:02:37You say that so easily, but are you telling me none of the five boys I raised for you ever
00:02:43caught
00:02:43your attention? My mother had been my father's only mate. She died the year I was born. A rogue
00:02:49attack. Too much blood loss. No second chance. After that, he never took another mate, but he also
00:02:55never fully believed a female alpha could carry Iron Moon alone, so he followed the Council's
00:03:00recommendation. He brought back five orphaned boys from the battlefield and raised them inside Iron Moon.
00:03:06He made one rule from the beginning. No matter who I chose, that man would be granted alpha status,
00:03:12meant to rule beside me, not beneath me. That was his compromise. Love me fiercely,
00:03:18and still not trust me enough to do it alone. I met his gaze.
00:03:22My bond with Damon Bloodbold doesn't require sentiment. It only requires succession. He is the
00:03:28sole heir of Bloodbold. That makes him more valuable than any arranged foster alliance you built here.
00:03:33Compared to relying on adopted sons to stabilize Iron Moon, an alliance with a true power pack is
00:03:39simply the rational choice. Silence stretched between us. If none of them were able to hold
00:03:45your attention, then there is no reason to keep them in Iron Moon. We left the Council Hall together.
00:03:51My father cast Caelan a brief, unreadable glance before walking out.
00:03:57What did you report this time? Let me guess. She ran to Alpha again because we didn't treat her like
00:04:04royalty. Princess Lyra didn't get enough attention, so she needed to complain.
00:04:10Orion and Riven followed with quiet snorts, barely even trying to hide it. Five voices,
00:04:15one direction, all aimed at me, like a wall closing in. If none of you want to mark me,
00:04:21why hasn't a single one of you ever told my father directly? My father didn't force bonds. He never
00:04:27had. One clear refusal would have been enough. He would have released them with wealth and freedom
00:04:32and never looked back. But none of them ever said it. Not once. Because none of them actually wanted
00:04:38to leave the Iron Moon pack. Not the future it promised. Stop dressing it up. We're just fostered
00:04:45wolves living in Iron Moon. What choice do you think we actually have? Just pick me if you're
00:04:49going to pick anyone. Don't drag them into your mess. For a second, the others went quiet,
00:04:54almost moved. Like he was taking the burden of sacrifice onto himself. But all I felt was a slow,
00:05:01bitter weight settling in my chest. Nothing else. Then Vivian showed up. The moment her eyes landed on
00:05:08me, she shifted back instinctively and slipped behind Caelan. She didn't do anything. Drop it for today.
00:05:17I stared at them. Five men. The same five who were supposed to stand behind me. Now all of them
00:05:24stood in front of her, protecting her from me. Something in my memory snapped open. One year ago,
00:05:30not long after Vivian arrived at Iron Moon. That night, I carried healing broth to Caelan's quarters.
00:05:36He'd been injured during border patrol. He told me not to come. I still did. His door wasn't fully shut.
00:05:43Caelan, are you really going to mark Lyra? My hand froze on the doorframe.
00:05:50No. I won't mark her. My chest tightened before I even understood why.
00:05:56Then why did you agree to Alpha Ronan? Because that's the only way I can become Alpha of Iron
00:06:04Moon. And Lyra, she's just stepping stone. Once I take control, I'll send her away.
00:06:13Then what about me?
00:06:15You? You're the only one I want. Once I take Alpha, I'll mark you publicly. You'll be my Luna.
00:06:26She can't even shift right. Luna? Seriously?
00:06:32She's only valuable because of her bloodline. Nothing else.
00:06:37Does she actually believe we'd choose her?
00:06:42When she finds out, she's going to break.
00:06:46Like it was already decided.
00:06:48Then you won't lie to me, right?
00:06:52I swear. Only you.
00:06:56The bowl slipped from my hands. It hit the ground and shattered.
00:07:03Who's there?
00:07:04I moved into the shadow beside the doorway and held my breath.
00:07:08Caelan stepped out. His eyes dropped to the broken bowl.
00:07:11A cat.
00:07:13I stayed where I was. Didn't speak. Didn't cry. Didn't make a sound.
00:07:18Only when the silence settled did I step back. Into the moonlight.
00:07:22It spilled across my face like something too clean for what I was feeling.
00:07:28The next morning I met Vivian in the garden. She was holding a bowl of flower essence,
00:07:33smiling like she had been waiting for me.
00:07:36Good morning, Lyra. Sleep well?
00:07:39Now there was ease in her expression. Confidence.
00:07:42I did.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:43She paused, just for a second.
00:07:46Lyra, this was my mother's. I wanted you to have it. Thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:07:53Before I could respond, Caelan appeared.
00:07:56You're seriously taking her mother's relic? Now?
00:08:01I froze. Vivian dropped instantly, knees to the ground.
00:08:06It wasn't Lyra. I gave it to her. Please, don't blame her.
00:08:11She slammed her forehead into the ground. Again. Blood showed almost immediately.
00:08:16Merrick arrived first. Then Corbin, Orion, Riven.
00:08:19Lyra! Enough!
00:08:22You're the heir, not a bully. You have everything.
00:08:26And you still take the only thing she has?
00:08:29Riven drew his dagger in one smooth motion.
00:08:33Apologize.
00:08:34An alpha heir boxed in on all sides.
00:08:36They weren't asking. They were pressing me down, forcing submission, forcing my neck exposed to an
00:08:42Omega who was clearly playing a game they refused to see. Vivian kept her head lowered, but I caught it
00:08:48anyway. That small, satisfied curve at the corner of her mouth. I didn't fight back. Because somewhere deep down, there
00:08:56was still a stupid, fragile part of me that waited. Maybe Caelan would step in. Maybe he'd say,
00:09:01This doesn't add up. This doesn't add up. He didn't.
00:09:05Apologize. Or I don't mark you.
00:09:08That line landed harder than anything else. Because I had already given him everything I had in me. I couldn't
00:09:15afford to lose him. Not then. So I lowered my head. My throat burned as I exposed my neck.
00:09:21I'm sorry. And that moment? That single submission lasted a year. After that day, Vivian changed how she moved around
00:09:29me. Like I was something dangerous. Sometimes she dropped to her knees the moment she saw me. Sometimes she hid
00:09:35behind the five of them, shaking, crying on cue. And I did nothing.
00:09:39Once, she tripped in the garden. A shallow scrape on her knee. Nothing serious. But she ran straight to Caelan
00:09:46in tears, claiming I had pushed her. No questions asked. All five of them came for me. They tore through
00:09:52my quarters like a storm. Everything broken. Everything scattered.
00:09:56If you touch her again, break our wolf legs myself.
00:09:59I almost laughed. Wolf legs. I couldn't even shift properly. But it didn't matter. They believed her. Always her. The
00:10:08memory snapped back like a pulled thread. Vivian was still behind Caelan now. Smiling faintly. Like she had already won
00:10:15something no one else could see.
00:10:17If you're that afraid I'll hurt her. You might as well leash her to your side.
00:10:20Are you threatening me? What are you planning to do to her?
00:10:25Let me guess. Now that we gave Vivian a Starfall Sanctum, you're finally snapping?
00:10:30You already have everything. And she has nothing. It's just Starfall Sanctum. Why are you acting like this is some
00:10:37tragedy?
00:10:38My gaze sharpened. Starfall Sanctum?
00:10:41Starfall Sanctum wasn't just a place. It was a buried lunar basin deep under Iron Moon territory. When it hit
00:10:47the sacred waters, it refracted into something that looked like a galaxy trapped underground.
00:10:51My father spent eighteen years building it. For me. A coming-of-age gift. Half a year ago, as it
00:10:58neared completion, he handed oversight to Caelan. He was supposed to present it to me on my ceremony day. Instead,
00:11:05it never reached me. It went to Vivian.
00:11:08My eyes locked on Caelan. He was the one who controlled Final Access. No one entered without his approval.
00:11:14Vivian grew up on the outskirts of the pack. She's never seen a real night sky. I gave her a
00:11:19moment. That's all. The Sanctum is still yours on paper.
00:11:25Don't turn this into something it isn't. And stop making a scene. If it comes to it, I'll announce our
00:11:31mating bond. At your coming-of-age ceremony next month, that should satisfy you enough. Right?
00:11:36The way Caelan looked at me, calm, almost magnanimous, made... made something cold twist in my chest. For a second,
00:11:46I almost wondered if I was the one who didn't belong here. If anything, they looked at him like he
00:11:51was making some kind of noble sacrifice.
00:11:54You really don't have to go this far. Lyra's spoiled. Ruthless. Marking her is no different than marking... a stone.
00:12:03At least you'll finally get what she's been chasing for years.
00:12:06Caelan, don't do this for me. If it helps, I'll kneel to her. I'll beg. I'll do anything she wants.
00:12:12I swallowed once. Hard. I won't choose you.
00:12:16Caelan's brow lifted slightly, like he was still deciding whether I was serious.
00:12:20Merrick and Corbin exchanged a look, like they were more afraid I'd choose them instead.
00:12:25That alone hit something deep in my chest. Ten years. Standing behind them. And still, I was the only one
00:12:32treated like I didn't belong in the same space.
00:12:34I turned to leave. Vivian caught my wrist. Then she dropped instantly. Knees to the ground. Head lowered.
00:12:40Please. Don't make this harder for Caelan. The five of them were brought into Iron Moon. They were never equal
00:12:47to begin with.
00:12:48If you're going to report this over Starfall Sanctuary, I'll apologize. I'll do whatever you want.
00:12:54Then she started bowing. Fast. Hard. Her forehead hit the ground until blood appeared. Caelan moved immediately. He pulled her
00:13:02up. Jaw tight.
00:13:03So you say you won't choose me. But when the time comes, don't change your mind.
00:13:09This whole thing, you're just trying to pressure her indirectly. You just want an excuse to report her and force
00:13:16her out, don't you?
00:13:16I don't care what you think. I won't choose you.
00:13:21Caelan grabbed my wrist. Hard.
00:13:24Not me? Then who? Marek? Corbin?
00:13:28Mark wants freedom. Corbin wants peace. Haven't you already taken enough from them?
00:13:34If you agree to stop targeting Vivian, I'll mark you. Just stop this. That's all I'm asking.
00:13:41For the first time, he looked exhausted. Like I had been the one wearing him down for years.
00:13:46I held his gaze for a long moment, then said quietly,
00:13:50Everything will go the way you want.
00:13:52He was afraid I'd hurt Vivian. He refused to mark me.
00:13:55Fine. Once I became Damon Bloodfang's mate, none of this would matter anyway.
00:13:59The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived. Iron Moon had been transformed.
00:14:04Everyone knew why they were here. Not just my 18th birthday. My mate declaration.
00:14:11And everyone already knew the outcome. Caelan Stone.
00:14:16Because I had chased him for 10 years. Because the entire pack had watched it happen.
00:14:21The five of them stood in the front row.
00:14:23Even the guests looked at them more than they looked at me. Like this ceremony belonged to them.
00:14:30I was about to shut down the whispers when a servant screamed.
00:14:34Help! Vivian is missing! There's a note! She's been kidnapped!
00:14:38The shift was immediate.
00:14:41Merrick moved first.
00:14:43Before I could even turn, my head snapped to the side.
00:14:48Silence swallowed the entire hall.
00:14:50The pain landed a beat too late.
00:14:53Around us, people scattered instinctively.
00:14:56Caelan grabbed Merrick's arm before he could swing again.
00:14:59Then he looked at me.
00:15:02We already stood here like you're choosing between us.
00:15:04Like we're disposable. And it still isn't enough!
00:15:06His voice sharpened.
00:15:08Do you want her dead?
00:15:10I stared back at him.
00:15:11Corbin looked at me like I was something contaminated.
00:15:14You waited until she was alone and staged this.
00:15:17You really think we won't see through it?
00:15:18That's when it clicked.
00:15:20Not confusion.
00:15:21Clarity.
00:15:22Vivian had done this again.
00:15:24And this time, she'd done it in front of everyone.
00:15:28No one moved to intervene.
00:15:30Not after I was slapped in public.
00:15:32Not after I stood there bleeding pride.
00:15:35Because they had already made their decision.
00:15:38Iron Moon wasn't mine in their eyes.
00:15:41Apologize.
00:15:41He let out a short, humorless laugh.
00:15:45Vivian nearly lost her innocence, and you're worried about a slap?
00:15:49Then she appeared.
00:15:50Crying.
00:15:51Running.
00:15:52Her dress torn.
00:15:54Dirt stained.
00:15:55Like she had barely escaped something violent.
00:15:58It was Lyra.
00:16:00She had me taken.
00:16:02She said she'd have rogue wolves.
00:16:05To violate me.
00:16:07So I'd never come back.
00:16:09The hall detonated.
00:16:11Whispers turned into outrage.
00:16:13Shock into judgment.
00:16:16Kalen didn't hesitate.
00:16:17He pulled his coat around her like she was something fragile and irreplaceable.
00:16:21Then he looked at me.
00:16:23You don't stop, do you?
00:16:25His voice dropped.
00:16:26I will never mark someone like you.
00:16:29The world below is a hundred times tougher than stone!
00:16:35That skinning knife of yours could never cut through the iron wall of the god's will!
00:16:40We got second.
00:16:45Oh, no.
00:16:56Justゲ salved.
00:17:20Everything has a weakness.
00:17:28Even the gods.
00:17:34I've lived for thousands of years and this is the first time a mortal has defeated me.
00:17:38And you've only trained for a mere dozen years.
00:17:41Master, I'm going down the mountain. I need to find my birth parents.
00:17:45The world below is a mire of divine rule. You bear no spark of divinity, no blessing from the gods.
00:17:51Those self-proclaimed noble beings will never accept you.
00:17:54I don't want pity from Olympian. All I seek is the truth.
00:17:59When I found you at the bottom of the Abyss Valley all those years ago, this ring was on you.
00:18:04Go, tear down those hypocritical figures perched high above all else.
00:18:14Agus was still holding back.
00:18:16Though he cannot wield divine power like those with a divine spark, he still carries the pure blood of a
00:18:21titan.
00:18:21Blood unseen in millennia. No one in this world will ever be able to defeat him.
00:18:32Father. Mother. How do I find you?
00:18:44Princess Ellara. There's nowhere left for you to run.
00:18:47Princess.
00:18:48You'd go so far as to wipe out the heirs of other bloodlines.
00:18:52For what? Just to force more people to serve the god of war?
00:18:55Your actions bring nothing but shame to Aerith.
00:18:58The Zeus you worship is powerless.
00:19:00Sparta's throne deserves a new ruler. Our leader!
00:19:06Still here. You wanna die or what?
00:19:09This is a feud between our houses.
00:19:11Don't rag an innocent bystander into it. Let him leave.
00:19:13Just a lowly Majerus.
00:19:15No one will care if he dies.
00:19:17Though you, princess, I've always wondered what it would be like to have you.
00:19:22I'll hold them off. Run while you can!
00:19:26Run while you can!
00:19:39Now it's your turn.
00:20:02Did you... save me?
00:20:04Princess, you're awake.
00:20:07Those soldiers. The Aeris Seelits. Did they hurt you?
00:20:11No.
00:20:12Thank the gods. But... you are immortal.
00:20:15How were you able to rescue me from foes wielding a god's blessing?
00:20:21Remember this. The pure blood of a titan runs through your veins.
00:20:26Until you are strong enough to stand against Olympus, you must guard this knowledge.
00:20:32Otherwise, the gods will punch you down and destroy you.
00:20:39I've lived on Mount Pelia my whole life. Since I was born without a divine spark.
00:20:44I worked as a ritual skinner at the temple for years.
00:20:46I'm far stronger and more agile than ordinary men.
00:20:48The chaos that broke out from the fight was enough to slip out with you unnoticed.
00:20:52I see. May the gods watch over you.
00:21:06We've never met before. So why do I feel such a strange sense of closeness to this princess?
00:21:11If father hadn't cast my younger brother into the abyss all those years ago, he would be about this tall
00:21:15now.
00:21:18Princess, where will you go next?
00:21:20Back to... the royal palace in Sparta.
00:21:27Lord Zeus, if my child still walks this earth, please protect him and keep him safe.
00:21:35If punishment must fall, let it fall on me, this worthless mother.
00:21:42A god forsaken outcast without a divine spark?
00:21:46Lycaon.
00:21:47He died in the abyss long ago.
00:21:49Why do you still grieve for him after all these years?
00:21:52Sparta prides itself on the gods' favour!
00:21:55If other city sheds learn I fathered a useless son, lacking divine grace.
00:22:01How could I ever hold my head high as a ruler of Greece?
00:22:03My lord! Your majesty! Princess Ellara has returned!
00:22:08Ellara!
00:22:15Thank you for saving my daughter, young man. No need.
00:22:18I was just passing by, nothing more.
00:22:22A lowly Temple Majumus, leaving his temple and coming to Sparta.
00:22:26What precisely brings you here?
00:22:29I'm searching for my birth parents.
00:22:32I don't know who they are.
00:22:34I only have this.
00:22:37I hope to find answers through this ring.
00:22:52My child, this ring holds fragments of Lock of Prometheus.
00:22:56It hides your aura.
00:22:58Grow up safe and sound, my little one.
00:23:03You've done well, Hecara.
00:23:06Let me feel the blessed radiance Olympus has bestowed upon our firstborn son.
00:23:18Not only has Zeus refused to bless him.
00:23:21He doesn't even have a divine spark!
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:25Sparta will never tolerate such a God-forsaken abomination.
00:23:27If word spreads, our city will be mocked and destroyed.
00:23:30Cast him into the abyss! Tell everyone the child died at birth!
00:23:32No! My baby!
00:23:34Leg on you!
00:23:35This is the ring I used to seal as his era.
00:23:41My child.
00:23:43The son I thought lost to the ab abyss.
00:23:46And why?
00:23:52Young man, you saved Princess Ellara.
00:23:55The house of Sparta owes you a debt.
00:23:58We shall aid you in your search for your birth family.
00:24:01Stay as our guest in the palace for a few days.
00:24:04Very well.
00:24:08The queen's reaction is far too strange the moment I showed the ring.
00:24:11Why do I feel such a pull towards her?
00:24:13Could it be she knows who I am?
00:24:17This ring holds fragments of Locke of Prometheus!
00:24:22I sealed them inside with my own hands!
00:24:25I could never be mistaken!
00:24:27He is the son we cast into the abyss!
00:24:29Why won't you let me acknowledge him?
00:24:32That Majakos? He's my brother?
00:24:35Silence!
00:24:36He was abandoned the moment he was born without a divine spark!
00:24:39Sparta prides self on being favoured by the gods.
00:24:42If the deities and other city-states learn my son is not just a Megarius, but also lacks a divine
00:24:48spark,
00:24:48how could I uphold Sparta's rule and our family's reputation?!
00:24:57Mark my words, no matter what happens, you will never acknowledge him!
00:25:02If you do, I'll charge you both for saccharinge and cast you out of Sparta forever!
00:25:19This sacred monument was carved from divine stone sent by none other than Zeus himself.
00:25:24In all of Greece, there has only been one warrior to have left his mark on its blessed surface.
00:25:28That was Athena's chosen, Timaeus!
00:25:32We should be praying to the gods for more power, instead of acting like certain lowly commoners.
00:25:42You lowly Megarius, what could you possibly know of battle?
00:25:46I only know how to flay carcasses, not fight.
00:25:51I thought as much.
00:25:53A mortal without so much as a trace of a divine spark,
00:25:56Anse Roroasnash thinks himself grand just from skinning a few beasts.
00:26:03Let me warn you, you got lucky that night.
00:26:06Don't think you'll be able to leech off of the king and queen just because you saved the princess.
00:26:10You're nothing but a stinking worthless nobody, worlds apart from warriors blessed with divine power.
00:26:16Know your place, and crawl back to your temple.
00:26:19Huh. Move!
00:26:21Move!
00:26:25Master Chidon was right.
00:26:28Those lofty champions of divine rule are nothing but fools cloaked in hypocrisy and arrogance.
00:26:37Zeus' blessing?
00:26:39Is it truly as unbreakable as they claim?
00:26:42colin?
00:26:43Nope, there's no one but fools Ioorio.
00:27:01To be able to build a mini-file gun.
00:27:01No.
00:27:04You're not a mess.
00:27:06You're a mess.
00:27:10Ares worshippers from the city-state of Arg watch us, greedily caviting our title as Greece's
00:27:15mightiest warrior state.
00:27:17They will likely come to challenge us before long.
00:27:27My lord!
00:27:29The sacred monument!
00:27:33How could the monument end up like this?
00:27:38The god is perfectly even.
00:27:40It was split clean with a single blade strike.
00:27:43Even the great Timaeus could only leave a half-centimetre mark on this monument.
00:27:47Whoever split it in two wields power far surpassing the peak of divine blessings.
00:27:52My lord!
00:27:53If we could gain the aid of such a mighty figure, we would have nothing to fear from those who
00:27:56worship Ares.
00:27:57Sparta could rise to glory once more and hold fast to our title as Greece's greatest power.
00:28:01Aye, but who in the world could this be?
00:28:05Only Agis came near the monument today.
00:28:07Could it have been him?
00:28:23Agis, I had this armor made for you.
00:28:25Try it on and see if it fits.
00:28:29Thank you, your majesty.
00:28:30Put it on quickly.
00:28:34My dear son has grown into a noble, towering warrior.
00:28:48What's happening?
00:28:50The reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:22The reapers of Ares
00:29:31I guess why are you still here you cannot wield divine power leave at once before you're dragged
00:29:37into this sacrificial beasts dares intrude on a battle of the god-blessed
00:29:54surrender your title as Greece's mightiest warrior state or none of you will leave this square alive
00:30:02Creons you're but a youth how dare you lead an invasion into Sparta's royal city
00:30:10did your father teach you nothing of divine authority
00:30:15divine authority
00:30:50Zeus blessings are nothing but a hollow pretense

00:32:15the queen is my mother
00:32:19my greatest sin in life was abandoning you at birth simply because you didn't have a divine spark forced to
00:32:25yield to divine rule
00:32:27but to see you grow into such a brave warrior before I die I have no regrets
00:32:31my own mother would sacrifice herself just to let me escape

00:33:04Die!
00:33:08Die!
00:33:27Let's get divorced.
00:33:29I'd rather leave without taking any property.
00:33:31Settle your gambling debts on your own.
00:33:33Don't drag me into this mess.
00:33:34I kept explaining that it was Timmy Lynch who had lost money betting on underdog matches,
00:33:38but she refused to listen.
00:33:39It's Timmy Lynch who owes the money, not me.
00:33:43You want to trick my daughter into pay your debts,
00:33:46and you even dare to slander my son?
00:33:48Celia Lynch, divorce him at once!
00:33:50She then laid all her cards on the table.
00:33:52To tell you the truth, Celia Lynch is pregnant.
00:33:56The child's father is one of your...
00:33:58...your place and sign the divorce agreement right now.
00:34:01I was utterly stunned.
00:34:02Just last night I won a 100 million USA prizes from football bets.
00:34:05I had even planned to help Timmy Lynch pay off his debt,
00:34:07yet things had suddenly come to a head over a divorce.
00:34:10Very well, let them handle this dug debt on their own.
00:34:13Meet me at the courthouse at 9 tomorrow morning.
00:34:14Anyone who doesn't show up is a coward.
00:34:19Now that the creditors had come knocking,
00:34:21the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:34:24Celia Lynch froze for a moment,
00:34:26clearly not expecting me to agree so readily.
00:34:28In her eyes, I was just a pathetic man scraping by on a small lottery shop.
00:34:32She had assumed I would drop to my knees and beg the second she brought up divorce.
00:34:37Her face twisted with scorn.
00:34:40Don't put on a brave front.
00:34:42Do you really think a divorce will get you out of this mess?
00:34:50She pulled out a pen and paper from under the coffee table,
00:34:53speaking in a stern tone.
00:34:56Sign this debt liability document.
00:34:59State clearly in black and white
00:35:01that the 100 million US dollars in gambling debts
00:35:04are solely the responsibility of Zach Lorenz
00:35:06and Celia bears no liability whatsoever.
00:35:09I glanced at the paper and thought it was completely ridiculous.
00:35:13He recklessly bet 50 million US dollars,
00:35:15backing the underdog Sherdrum team to beat the Acontia team.
00:35:18Unsurprisingly, he lost every penny
00:35:20and ended up drowning in massive debt.
00:35:22Now that the creditors had come knocking,
00:35:24the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:35:26I crumpled the paper into a ball
00:35:28and tossed it into the trash can and retorting coldly,
00:35:31Your brother is the debtor.
00:35:32Go collect the money from him.
00:35:35I agree to a divorce,
00:35:37but I will never take the blame for his mistakes.
00:35:40Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:35:44Celia hurried over and dug her well-groomed nails hard into my arm.
00:35:50She shouted furiously,
00:35:52Timmy is steady and sensible.
00:35:55He would never gamble.
00:35:56You're the one who keeps company with gamblers
00:35:58and ran up a debt of over a hundred million.
00:36:00Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:36:05I stared coldly at her hysterical look.
00:36:11We had been married for three years.
00:36:14I toiled from dawn till dusk in my shop
00:36:16less than 200 square meters
00:36:17and handed over every penny I earned to her.
00:36:22Yet she spent my hard-earned money
00:36:24buying luxury items for Edwin.
00:36:26Worse still, she was pregnant with his child.
00:36:31I slowly plied her fingers off.
00:36:37My tone was so calm that even I felt astonished.
00:36:43You can go ask Timmy whether he is really as well-beating as you believe.
00:36:47I agree to the divorce.
00:36:48I'll let you be with Edwin.
00:36:57You lowly nobody.
00:36:59Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:01I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:06Errol stormed into the bedroom
00:37:08and began smashing things frantically.
00:37:11You won't sign, will you?
00:37:13Then I'll go cause trouble at your shabby shop
00:37:15and put an end to your business!
00:37:19She grabbed her Hermes handbag
00:37:21and walked straight out the door.
00:37:23Celia followed closely behind,
00:37:26sneering with contempt in her eyes.
00:37:30You lowly nobody.
00:37:31Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:33I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:37The two slammed the door
00:37:39and left in anger.
00:37:40I took a deep breath
00:37:42as I looked around the messy living room.
00:37:44I'm sorry.
00:37:49Just then, my phone vibrated.
00:37:51A message from the lottery center
00:37:53reminded me to keep the winning ticket
00:37:55worth 120 million US dollars safe
00:37:57and to the city center
00:37:58to claim the prize as soon as Pucetly.
00:38:00I touched the lottery ticket
00:38:02hidden close to my body.
00:38:08Since you've dug your own graves,
00:38:10don't blame me for letting things run their course.
00:38:16The owner of this shop
00:38:18gambles illegally
00:38:19and owes hundreds of millions
00:38:20in loan shark debts!
00:38:26Zack had just arrived
00:38:27around the corner by taxi
00:38:28when loud shouting
00:38:29and abuse
00:38:30assaulted his ears.
00:38:31Mariel Unley
00:38:32stood at the shop entrance
00:38:33with a megaphone,
00:38:34shouting for all to hear.
00:38:36Come one, come all!
00:38:38The owner of this shop
00:38:39gambles illegally
00:38:40and owes hundreds of millions
00:38:41in loan shark debts!
00:38:43He'll even drag his wife
00:38:44and child down with him!
00:38:48Regular customers
00:38:49who were checking
00:38:49the lottery results inside
00:38:50were utterly shocked.
00:38:52They gathered at the door,
00:38:53whispering and pointing.
00:38:54I never thought
00:38:55he'd be someone like this.
00:39:01Eyes glistening
00:39:02with feigned tears,
00:39:03Celia Lynch
00:39:04held up her phone
00:39:05to start a live stream,
00:39:06putting on a wronged expression
00:39:07for the camera.
00:39:12Hello, everyone!
00:39:14This is my cold-hearted
00:39:16ex-husband!
00:39:18I chose to leave
00:39:19with nothing
00:39:20just to end our marriage.
00:39:31I pushed through the crowd
00:39:33and strode into the shop.
00:39:37I won't let you
00:39:39get away with this
00:39:40unless you pay the money
00:39:42today!
00:39:44Stop causing trouble
00:39:46in my shop.
00:39:48Instead of backing down,
00:39:50Meryl grew even more
00:39:51reckless when she saw me.
00:39:59I won't let you
00:40:01get away with this
00:40:02unless you pay the money
00:40:04today!
00:40:07As it happens,
00:40:09I have matters to settle
00:40:10with you two as well.
00:40:15I pulled the receipt
00:40:16for the TV
00:40:16out of my wallet.
00:40:25This television
00:40:26costs 800 US dollars.
00:40:29I will call the police
00:40:30and demand full compensation
00:40:32from you.
00:40:37hundreds of millions
00:40:38in debt!
00:40:39He'll probably end up
00:40:40rotting in prison
00:40:42for the rest of his life!
00:40:49Go ahead and call the police!
00:40:51You owe hundreds of millions
00:40:52to loanharks
00:40:53and they'll arrest you,
00:40:55the fraudners,
00:40:56the second they show up!
00:40:57She planted her hands
00:40:58on her hisps,
00:40:59turned to the onlookers
00:41:00and raised her voice.
00:41:05Everyone!
00:41:06Be the judge!
00:41:09This man lost
00:41:10hundreds of millions
00:41:11on sports betting,
00:41:12yet now he tries
00:41:13to extort
00:41:14800 dollars
00:41:15from me
00:41:15for damages!
00:41:17A cold-blooded
00:41:18scoundrel like him
00:41:19deserves his come-up pin!
00:41:21Murmurs broke out
00:41:22among the crowd.
00:41:23Several elderly regulars
00:41:24who often bought
00:41:25lottery tickets here
00:41:26stared at me
00:41:26doubtfully.
00:41:27He always seemed
00:41:28honest enough.
00:41:30I never thought
00:41:31he'd be such
00:41:32a reckless gambler.
00:41:34Hundreds of millions
00:41:35in debt!
00:41:36He'll probably end up
00:41:37rotting in prison
00:41:38for the rest of his life!
00:41:49Celia held up her phone,
00:41:52aiming the camera
00:41:53straight at me.
00:41:59The child you carry
00:42:00is Edwin's.
00:42:01If you can't stand
00:42:02the hardship,
00:42:03go to him.
00:42:04Why put on a show
00:42:05in my shop?
00:42:06Comments flooded
00:42:06the livestream rapidly,
00:42:08with Netsits
00:42:08jerling insults
00:42:09and trashing me
00:42:10relentlessly.
00:42:12Celia spoke
00:42:13in a tearful voice.
00:42:17Zach,
00:42:18Zach, if you sign
00:42:18the debt agreement
00:42:19and admit this is
00:42:19your personal liability,
00:42:21I'll leave at once
00:42:21and never bother
00:42:22you again.
00:42:23As she spoke,
00:42:25the stream was soon
00:42:26filled with sympathetic
00:42:27comments and gifs.
00:42:29Watching her clumsy,
00:42:30hypocritical act,
00:42:31I snired coldly.
00:42:33The child you carry
00:42:34is Edwin's.
00:42:35If you can't stand
00:42:36the hardship,
00:42:37go to him.
00:42:38Why put on a show
00:42:39in my shop?
00:42:41My voice was quiet
00:42:43yet clear enough
00:42:43for everyone present
00:42:44and all viewers online
00:42:45to hear.
00:42:48The noisy crowd
00:42:50fell dead silent
00:42:51for a moment,
00:42:51then broke into
00:42:52louder murmurs.
00:42:55Celia froze on the spot,
00:42:56panic flashing
00:42:57across her eyes.
00:43:07Zach!
00:43:08What's going on?
00:43:10Why is everything
00:43:11in such a mess here?
00:43:21Celia quickly
00:43:22composed herself,
00:43:23tears streaming
00:43:24down her cheek.
00:43:28You lack ability yourself
00:43:30yet you forcefully
00:43:31accuse me
00:43:31out of nowhere!
00:43:35What?
00:43:40Enraged by her words,
00:43:42Meryl charged forward
00:43:43and grabbed at my clothes.
00:43:46You heartless brute!
00:43:49You got your own issues
00:43:52and still you dare
00:43:54to deface my daughter!
00:43:59Just then,
00:44:00an anxious voice rang out
00:44:02from beyond the crowd.
00:44:14I spun around
00:44:16and saw my mother Darla
00:44:17pushing her way
00:44:18through the crowd
00:44:18with difficulty.
00:44:19A thermal container
00:44:20in her hand.
00:44:24In-law!
00:44:26Just look at what
00:44:27your son has done!
00:44:30She had gone to the hospital
00:44:32for a blood pressure
00:44:32check today
00:44:33and dropped by the shop
00:44:34on her way back
00:44:35with some homemade soup.
00:44:40Stepping inside
00:44:41and seeing the total mess
00:44:42with the broken television
00:44:44lying on the floor,
00:44:46Mother's hands
00:44:46shook uncontrollably.
00:44:54Dear in-law,
00:44:56you can resolve
00:44:57disputes through discussion.
00:44:59How could you
00:45:00bandish other race
00:45:01property like this?
00:45:02She hurried forward
00:45:03to pull Meryl aside.
00:45:06Burning with rage
00:45:07and eager to vent
00:45:08her anger,
00:45:08Meryl roughly shook
00:45:09off her hand
00:45:10and smeared.
00:45:19In-law!
00:45:20Just look at what
00:45:21your son has done!
00:45:23He's run up
00:45:24massive gambling debts
00:45:25and now tries
00:45:26to drag my daughter
00:45:27into paying
00:45:29them off!
00:45:33Mother turned
00:45:34deathly pale at once.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37Hundreds of millions
00:45:39in debt?
00:45:41Zack,
00:45:42what on earth
00:45:42is going on?
00:45:45Let me tell you
00:45:46the truth,
00:45:47old woman.
00:45:48This child
00:45:49isn't your sons
00:45:50at all.
00:45:51I supported
00:45:52my mother
00:45:53and explained
00:45:54in a low voice.
00:45:56Mom,
00:45:57don't listen
00:45:58to her nonsense.
00:45:59The debt
00:45:59was incurred
00:46:00by Timmy.
00:46:01It's nothing
00:46:02to lease with me.
00:46:06Everyone
00:46:06take a good look!
00:46:08This
00:46:08is the gambler's
00:46:09mother!
00:46:14Jack would
00:46:15never gamble.
00:46:15You're pregnant,
00:46:16so don't get upset.
00:46:18Let's talk
00:46:18this over
00:46:19calmly.
00:46:21Soft-hearted
00:46:21as ever,
00:46:22she still
00:46:23cared about

00:59:49Touch me!
00:59:49Don't touch me!
00:59:57Mom, it's okay.
00:59:58You're safe now.
00:59:59We're at the hospital.
01:00:15She seems mentally unstable.
01:00:18Could be long-term.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22She's been like this forever.
01:00:24Totally out of it.
01:00:26You got her name?
01:00:27Any family?
01:00:28No clue.
01:00:29Just that poor kid.
01:00:31Her mind was already fragile.
01:00:32Something pushed her over the edge.
01:00:33Probably a huge shock.
01:00:36I know you!
01:00:37Alexander!
01:00:38You're Alexander!
01:00:40It was him.
01:00:41He made Mom snap?
01:00:42So what now?
01:00:43How do we help her?
01:00:45She needs brain surgery.
01:00:46And important meds.
01:00:48Without it,
01:00:49she wouldn't last more than a few days.
01:00:51Then start the treatment, please!
01:00:58Please, save my mom.
01:01:01She's all I have left.
01:01:03Look, kid.
01:01:05It's not that I don't care.
01:01:07The only hope is this new drug from Clark Corp.
01:01:09I sold scrap.
01:01:12This is all I got.
01:01:13Can it buy medicine?
01:01:15I'll pay for it.
01:01:16Just, please, get her the meds.
01:01:19Do something.
01:01:22That drug's still in development.
01:01:23Clark Corp hasn't released it yet.
01:01:25Please, I can't lose her.
01:01:28Alexander Clark runs that company.
01:01:29Big on charity, they say.
01:01:30If you can get access to ask him directly,
01:01:32maybe he'll help.
01:01:33It could be your only shot.
01:01:35Alexander Clark?
01:01:37The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
01:01:40You guys are lucky today.
01:01:42So it's him.
01:01:48Don't worry, mom.
01:01:49I'll find a way to save you.
01:01:57Please, I need to see Mr. Clark.
01:02:00You think just anyone can meet Mr. Clark?
01:02:02Get lost.
01:02:03Hey!
01:02:07I said get out of here, kid!
01:02:23Jesus, are you trying to get yourself killed?
01:02:26Please, do you know Mr. Clark?
01:02:28Can you take me?
01:02:28What the hell?
01:02:29Who are you?
01:02:30You think you can just walk up to the richest guy in town?
01:02:32Go away!
01:02:35I'm sorry, sir.
01:02:46Mom, I'm sorry.
01:02:48I still couldn't find him.
01:02:50Please, hang on.
01:02:55Mr. Clark's gone for the day.
01:02:57If you're that desperate, try his house.
01:03:00Don't tell anyone.
01:03:04Thank you, sir!
01:03:11Brianna, I miss you so much.
01:03:17Alexander, Cinda waited all day.
01:03:20You didn't even show your face.
01:03:22I've told you, I won't marry.
01:03:24My heart died with Brianna.
01:03:26Brianna's been gone for years.
01:03:27You really gonna die alone for a ghost?
01:03:29Yes.
01:03:30In this life, she's the only one I'll ever marry.
01:03:33Alexander, enough!
01:03:34This ends now!
01:03:37It's okay, Mr. Clark.
01:03:39If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave.
01:03:41No, Cinda.
01:03:42You're staying.
01:03:43I don't care how stubborn he is.
01:03:45I'll make him marry you.
01:03:58Then I'm done with this house.
01:04:00With all of it.
01:04:04Fine!
01:04:05Walk out!
01:04:05And don't come back!
01:04:08Please, don't be upset, Mr. Clark.
01:04:10He just needs time.
01:04:12One day, he'll realize Brianna's not coming back.
01:04:17Their wedding ring.
01:04:18Get rid of it.
01:04:19It's the only way he'll move on.
01:04:22Go on.
01:04:23Throw it as far away as you can.
01:04:28Yes, sir.
01:04:30He's awful.
01:04:32But Mom needs that medicine.
01:04:34If I just beg hard enough, maybe he'll help us.
01:04:47Sir, there's a kid outside, asking for Mr. Alexander.
01:04:50Kid?
01:04:51In this rain?
01:04:53Bring him in, now.
01:05:06Grab a towel.
01:05:07Quickly, he'll catch cold.
01:05:12Who are you?
01:05:13Why are you looking for Alexander?
01:05:15I need medicine.
01:05:17For my mom.
01:05:19She'll die without it.
01:05:23Your mom?
01:05:24What's her name?
01:05:29Her name is...
01:05:30Hey!
01:05:35Sir, here's the towel.
01:05:42He looks just like Alexander did.
01:05:46Thanks, but my mom's running out of time.
01:05:52Kid, wait!
01:05:54Nate, did you see that kid?
01:05:55He looks exactly like Alexander did when he was seven.
01:05:59No doubt.
01:06:00If you want to be sure, sir, we can test the hair on that towel.
01:06:05Do it.
01:06:06If he really is Alexander's son, we have to bring him back at once.
01:06:10I'm leaving all my fortune to him.
01:06:17I miss you so much.
01:06:28The ring.
01:06:29Where is it?
01:06:32Sir.
01:06:33Our wedding ring is gone!
01:06:34Everyone here knows how much it means to you.
01:06:36No one would touch it.
01:06:37It's all I have left of Brianna.
01:06:39It can't just vanish.
01:06:40Put out a reward.
01:06:41Anyone who finds it gets whatever they want.
01:06:44Right away, sir.
01:06:46Sir.
01:06:50Massive reward for return of Alexander Clark's wedding ring.
01:06:58That ring!
01:06:59That's the one mom always wears!
01:07:01She's always so protective of it.
01:07:03But now, she needs that medicine more.
01:07:06Maybe I can trade mom's ring to get the medicine from him.
01:07:11Mom, I have to do this for your illness.
01:07:14I hope you can forgive me.
01:07:20Sir!
01:07:21The ring!
01:07:22It's been found!
01:07:25Where is it?
01:07:27A kid found it.
01:07:28He's waiting at the Clark's hospital.
01:07:29Let's go!
01:07:30Now!
01:07:44Mr. Alexander!
01:07:49You again?
01:07:52Is this the ring you're looking for?
01:07:59Sir!
01:08:00That's your missing ring.
01:08:01This little thief stole it.
01:08:03I didn't steal it!
01:08:04I found it!
01:08:05Cut the crap.
01:08:06The boss's ring was kept safely in the drawer.
01:08:08There's no way you just happened to find it.
01:08:10I could tell from the start you two were trouble.
01:08:12Turns out, you're not just con artists putting on an act for money.
01:08:15You're thieves too.
01:08:16It was my mom's!
01:08:17I need Clark meds for her!
01:08:19That's why I...
01:08:19That ring was Mr. Alexander's wedding ring!
01:08:22For his late fiancé!
01:08:23What's your mom got to do with it?
01:08:24We let you off once!
01:08:26Now this?
01:08:26You know how much this means to him!
01:08:34Hand it over.
01:08:35Now.
01:08:37I didn't steal it.
01:08:38You can have it, but please, give me the medicine first.
01:08:42I don't deal with thieves.
01:08:43You're not worth it.
01:08:44Give it to me!
01:08:55Give it back!

01:09:04You're not-
01:09:04We're good.
01:09:04They're not mean to me.
01:09:04Everybody is good.
01:09:04This ring was about to me writing your book,
01:09:05And so, you're just gone again.
01:09:05Thanks for my life.
