Chapter: Ch 30: An Extraordinary Formula?Bella tensed up. Her breath caught in her throat, as if the air had frozen solid in an instant. Her mind raced, searching for what to say to Chloe."Come on, Bella. Didn’t you say yourself that this formula is something special?" Martha cut in, her smirk still playing at the corner of her mouth.Martha’s voice grated on her ears. Her feelings of worry mixed with frustration were becoming impossible to hold back."What am I supposed to do? No—could this be the end of my career?" Bella whispered to herself.Several executives began speaking up. Like Chloe, they were deeply concerned. Some demanded to see the formula, while others scolded Bella for not taking this matter seriously.A few employees—especially from the R&D team—looked curious too. Despite the earlier tension between Bella and Martha, some held a glimmer of hope about what Martha had said regarding the formula."Don’t joke around, Bella. You’re the marketing manager—you know how serious this situation is. Give me the formul

Chapter: Ch 29: Chloe Pirette’s FuryBella was horrified. She quickly dropped to her knees and pushed Martha’s foot away from the paper.At that moment, Martha smirked, seeming pleased with what she’d done.Bella immediately picked up the paper with a worried look on her face. Thankfully, even though it was crumpled and torn, the writing was still mostly legible."You... you!" Bella looked up and glared sharply at Martha. She was about to slap her, but stopped when the woman everyone had been waiting for finally entered the conference room."What do you think you’re doing?"The elegant, beautiful woman with curly hair walked into the room. Her gaze was sharp and determined, and her rose-colored lips gave off an aura that filled every corner of the space. She was CEO Chloe Pirette.Several executives who’d been busy with their own matters—paying no mind to the tension between Bella and Martha—immediately stood up to greet her. Everyone else followed suit, showing even more respect than they had for the three senior execut

Chapter: Ch 28: A Fake Formula The shoulder-length-haired woman shook her head slightly. After that, Bella walked to her seat, feeling a knot of tension in her stomach.Lost in her worry, her thoughts suddenly turned to Leon. She didn’t understand why the man’s face had popped into her mind."Hm... was I too hard on him? What if he realizes I’ve been avoiding him? What if he won’t meet me again?""Hah... come on Bella. Why are you suddenly thinking about him? It’d be better if he just left your life for good. He’s not the Leon you knew—he just looks a little like him. There’s no point in getting your hopes up too high.""You should just focus on Pirette Group’s problems."As she argued with herself inside her head, she suddenly paused, remembering the piece of paper Leon had given her—with a beauty formula written on it."Wait... that formula...."Bella then reached into her bag and pulled out the paper. As she looked at it, she was impressed by how neat Leon’s handwriting was. The formula itself seemed convincing

Chapter: Ch 27: A Cunning Plan"What more do you have to say, huh?!" Lewis cut Brandon off again. His brows were furrowed deeply, showing just how angry he was. "If you refuse to do it, fine. But don’t expect to get a single penny of my inheritance!"The words struck Brandon hard in the chest. Rage burned inside him, and he wanted nothing more than to lash out. But now wasn’t the time. He forced himself to hold it back, resolving to rearrange his plans to get rid of the old man in front of him.With Brandon no longer putting up a fight, Lewis slowly turned to Jonathan."Jonathan? You know that ‘genius doctor,’ don’t you?"Doctor Liam narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard his nickname used by someone else—right in front of him. His ears felt hot, and he was seething inside, as if his pride had been trampled on."Um... you could say that. But I’m not sure—what I mean is, I only happened to meet him by chance."Lewis let out a sigh. Suddenly he felt dizzy, and his body swayed. Jonathan reacted immediately."Uncle L

Chapter: Ch 26: A Hard Slap"Mr. Leon?" he murmured, before finally refocusing on the bed.Elly, crying tears of relief, immediately ran to Lewis to check on her father’s condition. Meanwhile, Medona—hearing that all-too-familiar cough—suddenly seemed to regain her awareness and strength."Dad?!" she called out.She looked deeply worried seeing the darkish blood that had stained the area around Lewis’s lips and shirt collar. Even so, there was joy in her heart to find that he’d woken up.Medona then struggled to free herself from Jonathan’s hold. She asked him to help her stand, and once he did, the woman hurried forward, sobbing hysterically with joy as she approached Lewis."My husband!" Medona cried out. This time her face looked slightly flushed and bright—completely different from how pale and worn out she’d been before.She immediately hugged the still-reclining Lewis tightly, then kissed his cheek over and over with great enthusiasm.Brandon and Doctor Liam stood silent as they watched.

Chapter: Ch 25: You Fraud!"How dare you make a deal without us!"Brandon roared, striding quickly toward Leon and the others. When he reached them, he roughly swatted away Leon’s hand, nearly knocking the phone from Leon’s grasp. Thankfully, Leon’s reflexes were fast enough to hold on.Brandon then fixed his gaze on Medona, staring intently without blinking. "Mother, don’t trust this loser."His voice was loud enough to echo through the room. For a moment he turned, his brows almost knitted together as he faced Leon."You fraud! Even if you managed to fool that dim-witted Elly, you won’t pull one over on me."Elly’s eyes widened instantly at being spoken to like that. She wanted to cut in and curse her stepbrother, but Brandon had complete control of the moment."Ugh!" Brandon made a spitting sound without actually letting any saliva leave his mouth. "Ten times the pay? Huh. You’re asking for ten times the usual fee? Go shove it up your ass!""Look at this. After you ‘treated’ my father, does he look any bette

Ultimate Soldier
Gerald Burn. He was a mercenary, a soldier known as 'the devil from hell' and held the 'number one' position in the special forces. His abilities, which were beyond ordinary human capabilities, made him feared by every opponent. Every step he took reeked of death, his presence revered by his comrades.
One month ago, he managed to find the family that had been separated from him for twenty-five years. His superiors allowed him to meet his mother for a month, on the condition that he accept a special mission: to single-handedly rescue hostages from a terrorist camp after returning from his family visit. Unfortunately, a tragic fate befell him. He died in a bomb explosion.
When he woke up, a system appeared before him. The system explained that he had died and been revived in a new world. However, Gerald refused to accept it because he had just met his mother. The system granted his request. He would return to his original world after completing ten missions. Each mission would reward him with a 'ticket to the afterlife'. Once those tickets to the afterlife were collected, he could open the gates of reincarnation and return to his original world.
Unfortunately, as time went on living in the new world, he had many people around him who cared about him. What would Gerald do? If the system's missions were completed, who would he choose? His mother or the people closest to him in the new world?

Hendrick also joined them."Yo, Gerald!" Austin called out.Arland's eyes widened instantly when he saw the sports bike near Gerald. "Oh shit. Gerald? Is this your bike?"Devin and Austin showed the same surprised expressions. They quickly approached, just to be able to see clearly every part of the sports bike, which was quite fantastic in price."Is this your bike? Are you a rich kid?" Devin blurted out.Arland said, "This is a limited edition motorcycle that was released a few months ago. It costs up to five million dollars."Gerald narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the commotion of his classmates. Maybe if it was just him, it

No weapon in the world can harm your physical body, except for someone with the same ability.][Claim/Decline]Gerald tried to understand the explanation displayed by the system.

Chapter: Chapter 14"W-what are you doing here?" Helen asked, her knees shaking.Gerald snorted and glanced back. "Gerald? Who's that? I don't know him."Emma frowned and raised her voice in a panic. "Stop playing dumb. I know it's you, Gerald! Security! Security!"Aside from Monica, Eve, and Helen, the other three girls hadn't really registered Gerald, even after hearing about him taking down Axel's gang. So, they seemed relatively calm, wondering why Emma was freaking out."Huh. Why the rush? I just wanted to join in for a bit. Sounds like you guys are having a really interesting conversation.""Tch. How did this freaking jerk get in here?" Monica muttered, grinding her teeth."Oh yeah, why don't we pick a song? I really love a good ruckus. Don't you?" Gerald reached for the door, closing and locking it.Gerald's actions made the girls' eyes widen. Helen, feeling an overwhelming sense of dread as she looked into Gerald's sharp eyes, suddenly slumped to the floor, as if she knew what was coming next."D

Chapter: Chapter 13Gerald put on his helmet and sped off. It wasn't long before he was pulling up to the house. He reached for the doorknob, but before he could grab it, the door swung open.Gerald paused, surprised to see Harry. "Harry?"Harry didn't say a word, just stepped forward and looked Gerald up and down, checking him over. "You okay? Who were those guys?""I'm fine," Gerald said, giving a slight smile. "Just some old acquaintances from back when I was overseas."Harry let out a relieved breath. "That explains the suits and the muscles."Harry ushered Gerald inside. He was itching to know what Gerald had been up to with those "acquaintances," but he didn't want to pry. Seeing Gerald in one piece was enough for him.At the dining table, Gerald sat down next to Lucy, who seemed lost in thought. He glanced at Harry, who gave him a pointed look. Gerald cleared his throat, making Lucy jump."Oh, Gerald, Harry?""Not good to zone out when there's food on the table," Gerald said, putting a sauced chic

Chapter: Chapter 12[Congratulations, you have completed the additional quest. Celestial Jade Body: Claim] As Gerald had just exited the abandoned building, a holographic screen appeared in front of him. He only glanced at it, then continued his steps and left from there on his sports motorcycle. In Marcello's study, Yuna was pacing back and forth while showing a restless expression, while Emma sat on the sofa staring at her cellphone screen. Marcello, who was signing his files, was a little annoyed and said, "Can you be quiet for a moment? You're disturbing my concentration." "Tch. What are you saying? I'm thinking about Vander. Do you know what time it is? He can't even handle a high school kid." "Just wait. He'll definitely call after his task is done." Yuna could only snort annoyedly at her husband's response. At the same time, Marcello's cellphone suddenly rang, making Yuna's expression instantly change. "Who is it? Is it Vander?" Marcello glanced at Yuna for a moment, before finally turning

Chapter: Chapter 11[Additional quest detected. Defeat the criminals. Reward: Celestial Jade Body] At the same time, a holographic screen appeared in front of him, causing Gerald to stop in his tracks. He didn't understand what Sky Jade Body meant, but if those criminals had malicious intentions towards him, he wouldn't hesitate to put them down one by one. There, it turned out that there weren't only Gerald and the three men from before, but also seven more men wearing neat suits, one of whom was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed. All the men there were much older than Gerald, but Gerald didn't show any fear at all. His gaze was as calm as the eye of a storm, as sharp as an eagle's eye. Gerald then threw his gaze towards the man sitting in the chair. With just a glance, he could feel a strong aura from the man. "That's him, Boss. Can we take care of him now?" said the fat man. The man sitting in the chair smirked, then stopped the fat man with a hand gesture. He was Vander, the criminal boss
