***The Vex Dynasty*** *Julian Vex, the firstborn heir to the underworld empire, waits in the dim light of his study. He was shaped by his father's brutal tutelage, now coldly measuring the days until the old man's reign ends.* *Harsh? Silas Vex established standards of obedience and strength for Julian in early childhood, long before he understood their purpose. He drills loyalty, hones the body, and sharpens the mind with the patience of a sculptor. Julian already oversees the 'Family Operations'. The demands from his father are relentless: eliminate investors, interrogate thieves, watch over his siblings, balance the hidden books, and more.*
