After getting out of jail, James decided to take revenge and protect his friends from the orphanage.

Mike Bert, disciple of the Arcane Exorcist Order, was dispatched down the mountain by his master's order to search for the lost sect-suppressing artifact, the Exorcist's Seal. Penniless, he set up a street stall for fortune-telling, where he inadvertently saved Tess Baker, a female CEO possessing a pure dark physique, thus becoming entangled in urban conflicts. Facing Eden Pater, the wealthy young CEO coveting the Baker Group, and the Dark Warlock, an evil exorcist also seeking the Exorcist's Seal, Mike used Arcane Arts to break evil curses and Truth Spell to expose the truth. Joining forces with Renee Palmer of the Supernatural Investigations Agency and Lucy Pope, an exorcism-obsessed fangirl, he gradually pushed back against the evil forces. During his journey to protect the beauty and hunt for the treasure, he discovered that clues pointed toward the south, while the ultimate boss, Lester Watt, was secretly laying out his scheme. The true crisis had only just begun.

On the surface, Layla Smith is a well-behaved overseas student, but she’s actually the feared leader of the Titus Sect, unmatched in martial arts. When her grandfather falls ill, she returns home with her bodyguard, Felix Nolan. After marrying Zack Moore, she’s humiliated by him and his friends. Layla smiles coldly—she hasn’t met anyone this foolish in a long time. And then… she strikes.

"My mother was a player in a quest. Once her mission was a success, she exited this world, leaving me behind with four Dragon Kings. The first was Ethan—the Golden Dragon King who controlled over seventy percent of the Dragon Realm’s Dragon Crystal veins. The second was Nolan—the Silver Dragon King, the strongest healing dragon in the entire Dragon Realm. The third was Ryker—the Black Dragon King, the commander of the Black Dragon Legion and the most feared battle dragon in the Dragon Realm. The fourth was Tony—the Crimson Dragon King, the supreme ruler of the Dragon Council who maintained order across all dragonkind. My four Dragon King fathers spoiled me rotten for sixteen years, giving me everything I ever wanted. That was until three years ago when Chloe, the daughter of the one that got away, returned. Since then, my four fathers believed her over me. Chloe claimed that I scared her while flying in the sky, so Tony personally tore off my dragon wings. When Chloe accused me of poisoning her, Nolan forced Dragon Venom down my throat—a forbidden potion that destroyed the spiritual energy within my dragon body. Once again, Chloe insisted that I had hurt her, so Ryker ordered my claws to be removed. Chloe said she didn't want to see me anymore. As a consequence, Ethan abandoned me in the mines where lowborn dragons were exiled. As I lay there in pain, my mother’s voice rang in my ear. “Seren, do you want to come back to Mommy?”"
