The Red Storm Of Asia

Rafael Villanueva vanished for six years and the boy who left never came back the same. Forged in fire as a battlefield mercenary, Rafael built his legacy from the blood-soaked sands of warzones to the cold steel corridors of power. What began as a sanctuary for broken soldiers became something far greater: Atlas Corp, a land-based global juggernaut with the might of a nation and the reach of a shadow. With its elite forces, advanced weapons, and cities free from any nation’s laws, Atlas earned its name as the Superpower for Hire feared by governments, respected by empires, and untouchable by law. But behind the global spotlight, Rafael remains hidden, known only as “The Administrator,” the silent master of a company that now dominates both the world stage and the underworld. From corporate boardrooms to black market syndicates, Atlas holds a ruthless grip. Now back in the Philippines, Rafael faces a storm unlike any other not in the form of bullets, but in the form of arranged marriages. Thousands of deals made in his name during his absence now bear fruit. His father, desperate to find him, promised Rafael's hand to powerful and terrifying families, many with secrets as dark as his own. Some want him as a husband. Others want him as a weapon. And some just want him gone. On top of that, supernatural forces and ancient underwater civilizations begin to stir dragging him deeper into a hidden world he never intended to rule. Politics, power, and betrayal now shadow his every step. But Rafael has walked through storms before. And this time, he’s bringing one with him.
