The Heidan family, masters of their brutal empire, had many weapons at their disposal—men and women willing to do their bidding, criminals and thugs who feared nothing but the wrath of the Black Angel. The Black Angel was no member of the Heidan family, but his name was one that struck terror into their hearts like no other. A shadowy figure, a vigilante operating outside the boundaries of the law, the Black Angel was a force of vengeance that had brought down the Heidan empire one broken soul at a time.
In the underworld, the name of the Black Angel was whispered in fear. The Heidan family, for all their power and control, had never been able to rid themselves of this figure. The Black Angel had no mercy, no limits, and no qualms about delivering his version of justice. He was a specter of punishment, a harbinger of pain, and to cross him was to face a fate so horrific that even the most hardened criminals of the Heidan family shuddered at the thought.
The Black Angel’s reputation was not built on rumors or whispers—it was forged in blood, pain, and retribution. A figure shrouded in mystery, the Black Angel appeared from the darkness when least expected, leaving a trail of destruction that only the boldest dared to follow. His motives were as enigmatic as his identity, but one thing was clear to anyone who dared to challenge him: crossing the Black Angel meant certain death.
For years, the Heidan family had tried to neutralize the threat, but the Black Angel had proven elusive. They threw their best men, their most ruthless killers, at him—only to watch them fall one by one. Some said he was a ghost, others whispered he was a former member of their own ranks who had gone rogue, but none of these theories held any weight in the face of the terror he instilled. His methods were swift and brutal, leaving his victims either dead or wishing they were. It was said that no one who crossed his path ever lived to tell the tale, and those few who survived spoke of him as though he were a nightmare made flesh.
The Heidan family had learned to fear the Black Angel not just because of his skill in combat but because of the psychological warfare he waged. He didn’t just kill—he broke spirits, shattered minds, and left those who encountered him utterly undone. There were stories of criminals who had been alive one moment, only to find themselves captured by the Black Angel, forced to confront the deepest horrors of their lives. It wasn’t enough for him to take their lives—he stripped them of their very humanity, leaving them as hollow shells of what they once were.
Some said the Black Angel had a personal vendetta against the family. Others believed he was simply a force of nature, punishing the wicked with an unrelenting fury. Regardless of the reason, the Heidans knew that their empire would never be safe as long as this vengeful spirit roamed free.
The most dangerous thing about the Black Angel was his unpredictability. Unlike the Heidan family, who relied on structure, power, and manipulation, the Black Angel was an enigma—an unpredictable element in a world that thrived on control. He didn’t operate with the same rules that governed the underworld; there were no contracts, no negotiations, no alliances. His war was not about power—it was about destruction. He didn’t care for politics or wealth. What mattered to him was vengeance, and he brought it with a cold, merciless hand.
The Heidan family had lost many of their top enforcers to the Black Angel. One by one, their best agents had disappeared, their last moments marked only by a chilling silence that resonated long after their deaths. The family had tried to retaliate, but every attempt had failed. They set traps, planted spies, and sent their most trusted men to find him, but all were met with the same fate—failure. It was as though the Black Angel knew their every move before they made it, outsmarting them at every turn.
Anton Heidan, the patriarch of the family, had grown increasingly frustrated with the Black Angel’s persistence. The man, or rather the ghost, was a thorn in the side of the family’s vast empire. Anton had built his criminal empire on fear, but now fear was something he felt whenever he thought of the Black Angel. The vigilante had become a symbol of his family’s inability to control everything, a reminder that, no matter how powerful they became, there were still forces beyond their reach. The more Anton thought about it, the more it gnawed at him, until the desire for revenge burned deep in his chest.
In an attempt to put an end to the Black Angel once and for all, Anton convened a meeting with his children—Marina, Sophie, Mattew—and several of the family’s most trusted enforcers. They devised a plan, one that involved drawing the Black Angel into the open and confronting him directly. It was a risky move, but Anton believed it was the only way to eliminate the threat. They would use the family’s vast network of spies and informants to track his movements, baiting him with a high-profile target—a rival crime lord who had recently crossed the Heidans. They knew the Black Angel would never pass up the opportunity to take down someone who had earned his ire, and with this plan, they hoped to trap him in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
But despite their efforts, the Black Angel remained elusive. Every time they thought they had him cornered, he slipped through their fingers like smoke, disappearing without a trace. It was maddening, and Anton’s frustration grew to a fever pitch. The more he failed, the more his obsession with the Black Angel consumed him. In the depths of his anger, he began to see the Black Angel not as a mere obstacle, but as a challenge—one that he would overcome at any cost.
Marina, the matriarch, shared her husband’s obsession, but she was more methodical in her approach. While Anton saw the Black Angel as an adversary to be destroyed, Marina understood that he was a symbol—a reminder that their empire, no matter how powerful, was not invincible. She believed that the Black Angel had to be dealt with strategically, not out of vengeance, but out of necessity. The family’s grip on the city was slipping, and if they couldn’t rid themselves of the Black Angel, they would be forced to share their power with him.
Meanwhile, Sophie, the family’s manipulative mastermind, saw the Black Angel as both a threat and an opportunity. She had always been adept at playing people, and the Black Angel was no different. If she could find a way to manipulate him, she could turn the tables on him and use his power for the family’s gain. It was a dangerous game, one that required her to tread carefully, but Sophie was not one to shy away from risk. She had built her empire on lies and deceit, and she was determined to bring the Black Angel into her web, to turn him from a threat into an asset.
But despite their combined efforts, the Black Angel was always one step ahead. They had underestimated him, thinking they could control him, outwit him, or simply crush him with their power. They learned too late that the Black Angel was not something they could control. He was a force unto himself, unstoppable and relentless—a ghost that would never be laid to rest. The Heidan family was about to learn the hard way that some shadows could never be banished, no matter how hard they tried. The Black Angel was their reckoning, and it was only a matter of time before he brought their empire crashing down.
----------------------------------------
Breaking Bones: The Catherine Wheel
The first time the Heidans felt the sting of the Black Angel’s justice was in a dark alley, far from prying eyes. A trusted associate of the family, one who had betrayed them, found himself tied to a wooden wheel. The Black Angel, ever the patient torturer, systematically shattered the bones of the traitor’s arms and legs, each crack sending waves of agony through his body. The man begged for death, but the Black Angel had no intention of granting that mercy. The wheel turned slowly, and the victim’s bones splintered under the brutal pressure, a cruel reminder that no one, no matter their status, was safe from the Angel’s reach.
Boiling: The Scalding Embrace of Death
The Black Angel’s unrelenting pursuit of justice employed methods that were as visceral as they were horrifying. Boiling was one of the most excruciating punishments in his repertoire, reserved for those whose sins were so heinous they demanded a slow, agonizing end.
THE SETUP:
Victims were bound tightly, their movements restricted to prevent any hope of escape. A massive cauldron, filled with water, oil, or even molten metal, was prepared over an intense fire. The liquid, brought to a rolling boil, hissed and roared as steam billowed upward, creating a suffocating atmosphere of dread.
THE PROCESS:
The Black Angel’s use of boiling varied, depending on the level of suffering he wished to inflict:
1. Immersion in Stages: The victim was lowered gradually into the cauldron, starting with their feet. The searing liquid scalded the flesh layer by layer, the pain intensifying with each inch of descent. The victim’s screams filled the air, a chilling testament to their agony.
2. Sudden Submersion: For a quicker yet equally horrifying punishment, the victim was plunged entirely into the boiling liquid. Their body thrashed violently as the intense heat cooked them from the outside in, the skin blistering and peeling away almost instantly.
3. Partial Boiling: In some cases, the Black Angel would immerse only a specific part of the body, prolonging the suffering and leaving the victim alive long enough to endure psychological torment alongside physical pain.
THE AFTERMATH:
Boiling left behind not just a broken body but a gruesome message. The cauldron, often left with the remains of the victim, became a warning for those who dared to defy the Black Angel’s sense of justice. It was a reminder that there were no boundaries he wouldn’t cross in his war against the wicked.
Boiling wasn’t merely an act of vengeance—it was a spectacle of punishment, a statement that justice, in the Black Angel’s hands, was as inescapable as it was merciless.
----------------------------------------
Rat Torture: The Gnawing Agony of Desperation
The Black Angel’s arsenal of punishment was vast, but rat torture stood out for its sheer psychological horror. This ancient and macabre method was one he reserved for those whose crimes required a slow, drawn-out reckoning. It wasn’t just physical agony—it was a descent into primal terror.
THE SETUP:
The victim, stripped of dignity and clothing, was restrained flat on a sturdy table, ensuring complete immobility. A metal cage was placed over their midsection, its open end pressed tightly against their bare skin. Inside the cage were several large, starving rats, their beady eyes glinting with hunger and their sharp claws skittering across the metal.
THE PROCESS:
The Black Angel, ever the meticulous tormentor, introduced heat—sometimes a torch, other times glowing coals—applied to the exterior of the cage. The rising temperature created unbearable conditions for the rats, whose survival instincts kicked in.
Desperate to escape the heat, the rats began burrowing downward—through the victim’s flesh. Teeth and claws worked with frenzied urgency, tearing into skin, muscle, and even bone. The victim’s screams echoed through the room, but the rats remained oblivious, driven by their own primal need to survive.
THE AFTERMATH:
Rat torture didn’t just kill; it left an imprint of sheer terror. Those who witnessed the aftermath—the hollowed-out remains, the blood-streaked cage—were left haunted by the grotesque brutality. For the Heidan family, it was a message that there was no salvation, no escape from the Black Angel's judgment.
Rat torture wasn’t just about punishment—it was about showing his enemies what it meant to lose control, to become prey in the hands of a predator who knew no mercy.
----------------------------------------
Disbowelment: The Heart of Darkness
Disbowelment was reserved for those whose sins could never be forgiven. The Heidan family had long relied on fear to maintain control, but now, the Black Angel was showing them just how fragile that control truly was. A high-ranking member of the family who had crossed him found himself strapped to a cold metal table. The Black Angel wasted no time. He drove his blade into the man's abdomen, pulling out his organs one by one. Each organ, each piece of flesh, was discarded without care, as the victim screamed in agony. The blood that poured from the body stained the floor, but the man’s suffering was far from over. His life was slowly slipping away, piece by piece, under the Black Angel’s hands.
----------------------------------------
Rape: A Violent Message to the Heidans' Female Criminals
The Black Angel's vengeance was not limited to men. Female criminals within the Heidan family’s ranks who had shown cruelty to others found themselves subjected to a fate worse than death. One such woman, a trusted member of the family's inner circle, found herself cornered in an alley, her strength and power broken by the Black Angel. He did not show her mercy. His punishments were designed to break the will, to reduce her to nothing more than an object of suffering. She was humiliated, brutalized, and left to die in the cold. Her body, once a weapon for the Heidans, was now a victim of the Black Angel’s relentless justice.
----------------------------------------
Poisoning: A Slow, Silent Death
For some, death came swiftly. For others, it was a slow, agonizing affair. The Black Angel had perfected the art of poisoning, using a rare and potent venom that would rot the body from the inside out. One evening, a key ally of the Heidans, who had played a role in torturing innocent victims, received a drink that would be his last. The Black Angel’s poison worked quickly, sending the man into convulsions. He died slowly, writhing in pain as his body shut down, but the torment did not end there. His skin turned black as the poison ravaged his organs, leaving him to die in the most agonizing way possible. The Black Angel’s signature was all over it—no blood, no mess, just a slow, methodical execution.
Stolen story; please report.
----------------------------------------
Slicing: Death by a Thousand Cuts
Another of the Black Angel’s trademarks was slicing. The Heidans had long been known for their brutality, but the Angel’s torture methods were far more terrifying. One by one, he sliced into the flesh of his enemies—cutting away small pieces of skin, flesh, and muscle. Each slice was deliberate, each one causing the victim to gasp in pain as the blood flowed freely from their body. There was no rush. The Black Angel took his time, prolonging the agony. He wanted the victim to know that escape was impossible, and that no matter how much they begged, their suffering would continue until he deemed it finished.
----------------------------------------
Scalping: Stripping Away Sin
The Black Angel’s repertoire of torment included the ancient and horrifying practice of scalping. Reserved for those whose betrayal or cruelty warranted a gruesome end, this method was as symbolic as it was excruciating. The victim, restrained and helpless, would feel the cold edge of the Black Angel’s blade slice into their scalp. With methodical precision, he would peel away the skin and hair, leaving behind raw, exposed flesh.
The pain was indescribable, a burning agony as blood cascaded down their face, blinding them with their own suffering. The Black Angel ensured his victim remained conscious throughout the ordeal, prolonging the torment. Scalping was not just a punishment—it was a warning, a brutal declaration that those who crossed him would be marked for eternity, stripped of their identity and dignity.
When the Heidan family discovered the scalped bodies of their allies, they knew that the Black Angel’s justice had struck once again, cutting through their empire one victim at a time.
----------------------------------------
Spanish Donkey: The Infernal Seat
One of the most horrific devices used by the Black Angel was the Spanish donkey—a cruel wooden structure designed to break a person both physically and mentally. The victim would be forced to straddle the sharp edge of the device, the pain of the jagged surface digging into their body. The Black Angel ensured that the victim’s suffering would last as long as possible, applying pressure to the device, causing excruciating internal damage. It was a slow and agonizing method of execution, one that left the victim broken and in agony for hours before their final, merciful death.
Flaying: The Art of Skinning Alive
The Black Angel's mastery of psychological and physical torment found its peak in the act of flaying. Reserved for the Heidan family's most depraved members, this punishment was as excruciating as it was horrifying. Victims were restrained, their bodies immobilized to ensure they endured every moment of the ordeal.
With surgical precision, the Black Angel began by making shallow incisions at strategic points—shoulders, arms, legs, and back—peeling the skin away layer by layer. The pain was unimaginable, each nerve exposed and screaming as the skin was removed like a grotesque tapestry unraveling.
The process was methodical, extending for hours, ensuring the victim remained alive and conscious to experience the full scope of their punishment. The sight of their own skinless flesh and the feel of air against raw muscle were enough to shatter even the strongest wills.
Flaying wasn't just a punishment; it was a statement. The Black Angel left the victims' remains on public display as a stark warning to the Heidan family: no sin was too great, no hideout too hidden, no criminal too invulnerable to escape his wrath.
----------------------------------------
The Devil's Handshake: A Fiery Farewell
One of the Black Angel's most sadistic methods was a device known as the Devil's Handshake. The victim's hands were encased in a metal mold, heated until red-hot. The searing pain would cause the skin to blister and burn away, leaving nothing but charred flesh. As the heat intensified, the victim's screams echoed through the chamber, their strength sapped by the agony. The Black Angel, ever the architect of torment, would use this method on traitors who had bloodied their hands in service to the Heidan family. By the end, the victim’s hands were nothing more than burnt stumps, a grotesque symbol of their sins.
Scavenger's Daughter: Crushed by Remorse
The Scavenger’s Daughter was a cruel device that compressed the body into an excruciatingly small space. The victim would be bent double, their limbs folded unnaturally, and locked into the iron framework. As the screws tightened, bones cracked, muscles tore, and the victim's screams turned into weak, gasping sobs. Blood would seep from their nose, ears, and mouth as the crushing pressure took its toll. For the Heidan family, this torture was a stark reminder that no one could hide from the Black Angel's grasp.
Hanging: Death by Air and Fear
The simplicity of hanging did not make it any less effective in the hands of the Black Angel. However, he had a cruel twist to his method. Victims would be suspended by the neck, but not long enough to kill. Instead, he would leave them dangling, gasping for air, their faces turning purple as they hovered on the brink of death. Each time they blacked out, the rope would be loosened, only for the torture to begin anew. It was a harrowing dance with death, leaving the victims broken in body and spirit.
Eaten Alive: A Feast of Fears
Few punishments were as primal and horrifying as being eaten alive by animals. The Black Angel had a penchant for using rats, dogs, pigs, vultures, snakes, spiders, or even army ants to carry out his justice. Victims would be restrained in a confined space, smeared with blood or honey, and left at the mercy of these creatures. The rats would gnaw through flesh, the pigs would tear at limbs, and the army ants would strip a man to his bones in agonizing, methodical bites. Each scream of pain was drowned out by the sound of snapping jaws or the skittering of countless legs.
Strappado or Suspension Torture: The Dance of Dislocation
The Black Angel’s mastery of the strappado was unparalleled. Victims were tied by their wrists and hoisted into the air, their arms wrenched behind their backs. The sudden, violent strain dislocated shoulders and tore muscles, leaving the victim in unbearable pain. To increase their suffering, the Black Angel would add weights to their ankles, amplifying the agony. This torture was reserved for those who thought themselves unbreakable, only to be shattered by the Black Angel’s relentless methods.
The Judas Cradle: Impaling the Soul
The Judas Cradle was a torturous throne that combined humiliation with unimaginable pain. Victims were forced to sit on the sharp, pyramid-shaped device, their own weight driving the point deeper into their body. The Black Angel would prolong the agony by adjusting the ropes, ensuring the victim remained alive but in unbearable torment. This method was a grim message to the Heidan family: their sins would not go unpunished.
These tortures, brutal and grotesque, underscored the Black Angel’s unyielding resolve. His justice was not swift; it was slow, deliberate, and terrifyingly personal. The Heidan family could not run, could not hide, and could not escape the shadow of the Black Angel. For them, the specter of his vengeance loomed as an unending nightmare, one they knew would end only in agony.
Walled Off Alive: Entombed in Terror
For those who represented the very foundation of the Heidan empire's corruption, the Black Angel reserved a fate more harrowing than death—entombment. Victims were bricked into a sealed chamber, their screams muffled by the walls. Without light, air, or hope, they faced a slow demise from suffocation, dehydration, or starvation. The claustrophobic darkness became their only companion as they endured their final moments in unimaginable despair, realizing that the empire they served could not save them.
Stoning: A Collective Judgment
The Black Angel often turned the Heidan family’s own tactics against them. When a victim had betrayed their closest allies, they were tied and presented to a group of their own subordinates or former victims. Armed with stones, the crowd delivered brutal justice under the Black Angel’s cold supervision. Each stone thrown was a fragment of collective retribution, each impact a reminder that betrayal carried a heavy price. By the end, the victim’s broken, lifeless body lay as a testament to their sins.
Beaten to Death: The Savage Symphony
For enforcers and henchmen who wielded their strength to oppress the weak, the Black Angel stripped them of their power. Bound and helpless, they were subjected to relentless beatings. Fists, boots, and blunt objects rained down in a horrifying rhythm, breaking bones, crushing organs, and turning their bodies into unrecognizable masses of bruises and blood. The slow, methodical violence ensured they felt every ounce of their own brutality reflected back on them.
Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Art of Suffering
This ancient, harrowing execution method was one of the Black Angel’s most feared punishments. Victims were restrained as the Black Angel delivered countless small cuts, each precisely calculated to avoid immediate fatality. The slow seep of blood, combined with the searing pain of every slice, stretched the victim’s agony for hours. By the time death arrived, they were little more than a patchwork of lacerations and suffering—a chilling masterpiece of vengeance that left even the most hardened Heidan criminals trembling.
Bamboo Torture: Beating with Brutality
The Black Angel utilized bamboo, a symbol of resilience and adaptability, as a weapon of pain. Victims were tied and subjected to relentless beatings with heavy bamboo rods. The strikes were precise, targeting areas like the shins, ribs, and back to inflict maximum pain while avoiding immediate fatality. The sharp, snapping sound of bamboo against flesh echoed like a haunting melody, leaving victims with fractured bones, ruptured organs, and bruised bodies. The punishment was a reminder of the strength the Black Angel wielded, a brutal message that no amount of fortitude could withstand his wrath.
Bamboo Growing Through the Anus: The Silent Execution
For the most irredeemable of the Heidan family, the Black Angel chose a torture method as slow and merciless as nature itself. The victim was stripped and secured over young bamboo shoots, positioned so the pointed tips pressed against their anus. Over time, the bamboo, known for its rapid growth, pierced through their body as it sought the path of least resistance. The process was agonizingly slow, lasting days, as the bamboo grew inch by inch, tearing through flesh and internal organs. The victim’s cries for mercy were drowned by the indifference of nature and the Black Angel’s stoic presence, a chilling testament to his creativity and resolve in delivering justice.
----------------------------------------
Impalement: A Final, Bloody End
Impalement was the ultimate punishment—one that no one in the Heidan family ever wished to face. The victim would be slowly and deliberately impaled with a long, sharp stake, driven through their body with terrifying precision. The pain was excruciating as the stake tore through flesh and bone. The victim would be left alive for as long as possible, suffering as their body was destroyed. The Black Angel would watch, his face a mask of cold determination as the life slowly drained from the victim. To be impaled was to be marked for death in the most brutal and public way, and it was a fate that few survived.
----------------------------------------
THE RECKONING: A FORCE BEYOND MYTH
The Black Angel was no mere shadow of legend; he was an unrelenting force, a reckoning that the Heidan family could neither anticipate nor withstand. To the criminal underworld, he was a living nightmare, a vigilante unbound by the limits of law or morality. For years, the Heidans had thrived in darkness, using fear and violence to consolidate their power. Yet, with every ruthless act, they unknowingly summoned a being whose name would become synonymous with their downfall.
His punishments were not acts of rage or chaos. The Black Angel was no mindless killer. His methods were deliberate, calculated, and brutally poetic. Each torment he delivered was tailored to the sins of his victims, ensuring their punishment fit their crimes. Though his hands were stained with blood, his actions bore a chilling logic. He was not driven by hatred but by an uncompromising vision of justice, one that stripped the Heidans of the power they wielded so cruelly.
A MESSAGE WRITTEN IN PAIN
The Heidan empire had built its foundation on terror, using brutality to silence dissent and ensure obedience. Yet, with the Black Angel’s rise, the same terror they wielded began to consume them. His punishments were publicized not through spectacle but through whispers, each story carrying a weight that no amount of wealth or influence could counter.
When the first Heidan enforcer was broken on a Catherine Wheel, the message was clear: betrayal and greed would be met with suffering. The man’s screams echoed long after his bones had shattered, and his mangled body, left as a grim monument, served as a chilling warning to others. This was no ordinary execution—it was a statement, a declaration of war against the very foundation of the Heidan empire.
As more victims fell to the Black Angel’s unrelenting justice, fear began to spread like a contagion. Enforcers abandoned their posts, lieutenants reconsidered their loyalties, and even the most hardened members of the Heidan family began to question their invincibility.
THE EMPIRE CRUMBLES FROM WITHIN
The Heidans had always believed themselves untouchable, their empire fortified by wealth, influence, and an army of loyal soldiers. But the Black Angel’s campaign revealed the fragility of their dominion. He didn’t merely target the family’s leaders; he dismantled their network piece by piece, striking at the enablers, the enforcers, and the sycophants who kept the machine running.
Each act of vengeance was meticulously planned. When a high-ranking member of the family was disemboweled in his own mansion, the Black Angel left behind more than a mutilated body. He left a legacy of fear. The man’s organs, carefully arranged in a grotesque display, symbolized the internal rot of the Heidan empire.
The psychological toll was just as devastating. The Heidans, who once thrived on instilling fear in others, now lived in constant paranoia. The Black Angel’s strikes were unpredictable, his presence untraceable. Safe houses became death traps; trusted allies turned into targets. The empire was no longer secure—it was crumbling under the weight of its own sins.
THE METHODS OF JUSTICE
The Black Angel’s methods were as diverse as they were horrifying, each one carefully chosen to reflect the nature of his victim’s crimes.
1. Boiling: Reserved for those who inflicted mass suffering, this method was both slow and agonizing. Victims were lowered into cauldrons of boiling liquid, their screams a harbinger of the pain that awaited others who crossed him.
2. Rat Torture: For those who preyed on the weak, the Black Angel unleashed swarms of hungry rats. Trapped in confined spaces with no escape, the victims were slowly devoured, their cries muffled by the relentless scurrying of tiny claws.
3. Flaying: Skinning was not just a punishment but a message. The Black Angel’s precise blade stripped away layers of flesh, exposing the raw, pulsating humanity beneath. Each stroke of the blade was a reminder that no one, no matter how powerful, was invulnerable.
4. Bamboo Torture: Combining nature’s persistence with man’s cruelty, the Black Angel planted sharpened bamboo stalks beneath his victims, their bodies impaled as the plants grew inexorably through them. It was a slow, inescapable death, one that mirrored the inexorable justice he brought.
5. Walled Alive: Those who betrayed trust were bricked into walls, their muffled screams serving as an eternal reminder of their treachery.
THE TURNING POINT
Despite their power, the Heidans were forced to admit that they could not defeat the Black Angel. Attempts to capture or kill him ended in failure, their operatives either disappearing or returning broken shells of their former selves. Even the family patriarch, a man who had orchestrated countless atrocities, found himself haunted by the specter of his own demise.
The Black Angel’s war was more than an assault on the Heidan family—it was a reckoning for an entire system of corruption. The underworld trembled as he dismantled the infrastructure of crime, proving that no one, not even the mighty Heidans, was beyond justice.
A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH
For the Heidans, death was no longer the worst fate imaginable. The Black Angel ensured that their suffering would extend beyond the physical. He dismantled their legacy, turned their wealth into ashes, and left their name synonymous with failure and cowardice.
And yet, he remained enigmatic. No one knew his true identity or his ultimate goal. Some whispered that he was a former victim of the Heidans, a soul who had clawed his way back from the brink of death to exact revenge. Others believed he was an avenging angel, a force sent by some higher power to bring balance to a world consumed by darkness.
Whatever the truth, one fact remained: the Heidan empire was no longer secure. Its reign of terror was over, replaced by the cold, unyielding justice of the Black Angel. For the Heidans, and for the underworld at large, his name was more than a warning—it was a sentence. And for those who dared to challenge him, it was a fate far worse than death.
