Aiden Knight's POV
I couldn't watch Chloe being torn apart any longer. The Pearl Nation reporter's smug smile was the final straw.
Rising from my position at the back of the room, I walked toward the stage. The jade pendant burned against my chest, the Samsara Graveyard's ancient power responding to my rising fury.
"Excuse me," I said, my voice cutting through the chaos like a blade.
The room gradually quieted as I made my way forward. Chloe's eyes widened with relief when she saw me. The Pearl Nation reporter turned, her predatory smile faltering slightly.
"And you are?" she demanded.
"# Chapter 27 - Aiden Knight," I replied, stepping onto the stage beside Chloe. "The owner of the Heavenly Justice Group."
Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Most international reporters didn't know my face, but they recognized the name from their briefings.
