Jaden spoke up, his tone calm. “Honey, have you given any thought to where we’re going to source the pharmaceutical equipment from?”Selena nodded, clearly prepared for the question. “I’ve already contacted two well-known pharmaceutical equipment companies. Obsidian Corporation and Crownveil Corporation.”She paused briefly, then continued in a businesslike manner. “Obsidian Corporation is the largest pharmaceutical equipment supplier in the South. Their prices are relatively affordable, and their supply chain is stable. Delivery is fast, and negotiations are straightforward. The downside is that their technology is a bit behind. It’s reliable, but not cutting-edge.”She then added, “Crownveil Corporation, on the other hand, is a major pharmaceutical equipment company from South Korea. Their equipment is extremely advanced, almost at the top international level. However, their prices are much higher, and they usually impose extra conditions when exporting their equipment. The process

They headed to Empress’s BBQ, the newest and most hyped Korean barbecue restaurant in Ironvale.The place lived up to its reputation. Warm lighting, sleek wooden interiors, polished grills embedded into every table, and soft Korean music playing in the background. The atmosphere was lively without being chaotic, the kind of place clearly designed to attract young professionals and social media addicts.The restaurant was packed. Most of the customers looked well-dressed and stylish, and quite a number of them were clearly South Koreans judging by their accents and mannerisms.After getting seated, Morganna wasted no time. She ordered beef tenderloin, marbled beef steaks, jumbo prawns, and a bottle of white wine. As soon as the food arrived, both of them leaned toward the grill, cooking the meat while the aroma filled the air.Morganna was clearly enjoying herself. Before even taking a bite, she pulled out her phone and snapped photos from several angles.Jaden glanced at her and said

Park Min-Jae, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, leaned back in his chair as his friends continued to egg him on.One of them laughed loudly and said, “Didn’t you say girls here worship foreigners? You bragged about how easy it is to get them to fall for you.”Another chimed in, grinning, “Yeah. You said you’ve played plenty of beauties before. That girl looks classy. Why don’t you prove it?”Park Min-Jae smirked. He had always found it easy to get women’s attention. He was tall, well-built, wealthy, and foreign. Those advantages had opened many doors for him, and his arrogance had only grown over time.His gaze followed Morganna’s retreating figure. Her slim proportions, calm confidence, and cold demeanor only made her more appealing to him.“Fine,” he said lazily, standing up. “Watch and learn. I’ll have her smiling in minutes.”With that, he straightened his shirt and followed her toward the washroom.Morganna sensed someone behind her just as she reached the corridor outside th

Fury surged through Jaden’s chest, hot and violent. Yet, instead of exploding, his expression grew eerily calm. The calmer he became, the more dangerous he looked.He glanced at Park Min-Jae and spoke in a flat, indifferent tone.“Congratulations. You’ve successfully angered me.”Park Min-Jae froze for a split second, then burst into mocking laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke of the night.“Haha! Still pretending?” he sneered. “Someone beat this bastard up for me. Just looking at him disgusts me.”The moment the words left his mouth, his friends and two muscular bodyguards moved in unison. They cracked their knuckles, faces twisted with confidence and cruelty, closing in from all sides.Morganna’s heart jumped to her throat.But Jaden did not retreat.He did not even change his stance.Before any of them could get within arm’s reach, Jaden stepped forward.Bang!His first kick landed squarely on a man’s chest.Bang! Bang!Two more kicks followed in rapid succession, sh

Jaden’s eyes narrowed, sharp and cold as ice. He looked at Zed with an unreadable expression and asked calmly, “Captain Walker, is he your friend?”Zed froze. Of course, he wasn’t friends with Park Min-Jae. But how could he admit that in front of a VIP from overseas, someone protected by diplomatic immunity? The mayor had explicitly instructed him to personally ensure Park Min-Jae’s safety.Swallowing his pride, Zed forced himself to answer softly, “Mr. Rift… he is Park Min-Jae, the general manager of Crownveil Group. He is the son of the CEO of South Korea’s renowned Crownveil Group. He holds diplomatic immunity and is considered an important foreign guest of Ironvale. You must understand… he is our honored visitor.”Jaden’s expression remained impassive, but his tone was deadly calm. “Foreign friend? A friend must respect you before you respect him. This man tried to take advantage of my sister-in-law and caused trouble in public. As the captain of the Investigation Unit, shouldn’t

Park Ji-Hoon was over fifty, with deep eye bags hanging beneath his eyes, giving him a perpetually exhausted, lifeless look. Yet those dull eyes were anything but absent. They lingered on Selena’s slender figure longer than appropriate, carrying a thin layer of undisguised interest. Compared to the women he saw back home, she was refined, composed, and far more captivating.Still, his voice remained steady and authoritative as he spoke.“Ms. Verrick, I advise you to think carefully. Opportunities like this do not come twice. Collaborating with a corporation like Crownveil is a privilege many companies dream of but never attain.”He leaned forward slightly, fingers tapping the table.“Your Rift Group is young. Ambitious, yes. But fragile. Without a powerful partner, your survival and long term growth are uncertain. With Crownveil behind you, you will not only survive. You will prosper.”Selena maintained her composure, but her discomfort was obvious. She knew what he was really saying.

After delivering his ultimatum, Park Ji-Hoon stood up abruptly and left the conference room with his entourage, his footsteps sharp and heavy with rage. The atmosphere he left behind was suffocating.The Rift Group executives sat frozen in their seats, exchanging uneasy glances. What had started as a high-stakes negotiation had just turned into a full-blown crisis. Losing Crownveil Group was bad enough. Being blacklisted across the pharmaceutical equipment industry was potentially fatal.Selena remained standing long after Park Ji-Hoon disappeared from sight. Her fingers tightened around her phone as anxiety and anger churned in her chest. Without wasting another second, she dialed Jaden.The call connected almost immediately.“Jaden,” Selena said, barely holding her composure, “what exactly happened at the restaurant?”Jaden did not dodge the question. His voice was calm, steady, as if he were recounting something trivial. He explained everything from start to finish. Park Min-Jae’s

Selena’s temples throbbed as soon as the call ended.Crownveil Group was not some small overseas firm that could be brushed aside. Park Ji-Hoon was a heavyweight in the global pharmaceutical industry. Crossing him meant inviting trouble from every direction. Business pressure, political pressure, even diplomatic pressure. One wrong move and the Rift Group could be strangled overnight.She knew all of that.But she also knew Jaden.If she outright told him that he had provoked someone far beyond their current reach, it would only bruise his pride. Worse, it would turn into another argument. So instead, she swallowed the words that were burning on her tongue and simply reminded him to stay cautious before ending the call.At the same time, Park Ji-Hoon arrived at the VIP ward of Ironvale Hospital.The private corridor was heavily guarded, and the air smelled faintly of antiseptic. Inside the ward, Park Min-Jae lay on the hospital bed, his arm wrapped tightly in a cast, his face pale and

At that moment, Selena’s phone rang abruptly.The sharp vibration cut through the lively atmosphere like a blade.She glanced at the screen and froze.The caller ID showed a number she had memorized all too well. Park Ji-Hoon. CEO of Crownveil Group.For a brief second, a dangerous thought crossed her mind.Did he change his mind?Did he want to reopen negotiations?Her fingers hesitated before she slowly stood up. She told Jaden and the rest of the family to continue eating, then walked toward a quiet corridor near the private rooms. Only when she was sure no one could overhear did she answer the call.“Hello?”The voice on the other end was not Park Ji-Hoon’s.It was Ha Junghoon, his assistant.His tone was cold, mechanical, and completely devoid of courtesy. “Ms. Verrick. I am calling on behalf of CEO Park Ji-Hoon. He has made his decision.”Selena’s heart sank.Ha Junghoon continued without pause, each word deliberate and cruel. “The CEO is extremely angry. If you want your compan

Immediately, several intelligence departments and top-tier hacker organizations across the country sprang into action.Invisible gears began turning at frightening speed.Encrypted networks lit up. Surveillance channels were forcefully breached. Hotel security systems were quietly mapped. Call records, access logs, and movement data were pulled apart layer by layer. In less than a minute, every relevant detail surrounding Park Ji-Hoon’s movements was laid bare.Jaden’s phone vibrated softly.He listened in silence.As the report came through, his expression grew colder by the second. The calm in his eyes did not fade. Instead, it sharpened into something far more dangerous.“Okay,” Jaden said evenly. “I understand.”He ended the call, then spoke again, his tone controlled and precise.“The Crownveil Group is a well-known conglomerate in South Korea. Park Ji-Hoon is one of its core power figures. He holds diplomatic immunity in multiple countries, including Ironvale. Your identity is s
