“You plan to live off Laura now that she’s the Vice-CEO,” Zane said with a slight sneer, his eyes fixed sharply on Eduardo. “I’m right, aren’t I?” Eduardo’s jaw tightened. His face turned red with anger. “Stop talking nonsense! I’ll kill you!” He moved forward, his steps heavy and quick, but froze when Hudson raised his voice. “Stop right there, you fool!” Hudson snapped. His brows furrowed deeply, and the veins on his neck tensed. “If you lay a finger on him, I’ll cut your tongue off myself!” Eduardo glared at his father, breathing heavily. His fists clenched and unclenched, but he didn’t move again. His eyes darted between Hudson and Zane, full of frustration and disbelief. Why were they defending Zane now? With an irritated huff, he threw himself onto the sofa. The cushion sank under his weight as he crossed his arms and stared at the floor, sulking. Laura stayed close to Zane

The fight at Henry’s mansion heated up. Two of Henry’s men who had been confident at first were now overwhelmed by Zane’s agility and strategy. Every attack they made was read perfectly, and every countermove from Zane was almost flawless.Eduardo was upset because Zane had nearly defeated the two opponents. He hadn’t expected Zane to be so strong—stronger than Henry’s men who were famous for deadly attacks.Zane moved calmly, but watched every movement of Henry’s men with focused eyes. When they began to tire, Zane launched a counterattack—he clenched his fist and struck them with all his might until they were thrown, crashing into the wall.The wall cracked instantly.Henry was stunned watching the end of the fight. “Impossible… Impossible that a shabby young man could be that strong,” he muttered, refusing to accept it. He wasn’t willing to hand over the medicine to Zane.“What are you doing?! Attack him again, now!” Henry shouted.The two men tried to get up, panting. Blood mixed

“You’re will die today.”Zane didn’t answer.Even with several guns aimed straight at him, his face remained calm, his breathing steady, his expression unreadable. It was as if he stood in the middle of silence instead of a battlefield filled with killing intent.Laura froze, her lips trembling slightly. Fear painted her beautiful face, her wide eyes glimmering under the faint light.“Who ordered you?” Zane asked coldly. “Was it Henry?”The leader of the squad stepped forward, his boots thudding sharply against the marble floor. His uniform was perfectly pressed, every button shining.“You don’t need to know.” Daniel glared at Zane with fire in his eyes.“If you fight me, you’ll die,” Zane warned quietly, his tone flat yet commanding.“Die?” Daniel let out a short, sharp laugh filled with arrogance. He was the commander of the unit, and this was his chance to prove himself in front of General Ragnor.“Catch him alive! And don’t hurt the woman!” he barked.Before his men could even rea

Ragnor stopped. “You almost made me lose everything.”“W-what do you mean?” Danzel stammered, his wounds still bleeding.Ragnor didn’t answer. He turned to his subordinate who was recording the incident. “Send that video to Harley.”The man nodded.Ragnor glared at Danzel sharply. “If you want to mess with someone, don’t involve me! Got it?”Ragnor walked away, leaving Danzel beaten and bruised.He clenched his fists tightly. He held a grudge against Zane, but he didn’t know how to get back at him.***Zane went to the hospital to visit Aaron after returning from Harley’s house. He told Laura to rest because he needed some time alone.“Zane…” Aaron smiled brightly when he came in. Coincidentally, he was busy typing on his laptop, handling matters for Hale Corp.“Are you feeling better?”Aaron nodded. “Why are you visiting me so late at night, Zane?”“I came to bring you some herbal medicine,” Zane explained, his eyes glimmering slightly. “This will heal you instantly.”“Really?”Maya,

“I'm glad you’re back.” Suddenly, a man approached Luna and Aaron.“Zane?!” Luna’s smile grew wide. She immediately rushed over to him. “Zane, look who came!” Enthusiastically, she pulled Zane closer to Aaron. “You must still remember Aaron, right? He’s alive!”Zane offered a faint smile. “I’m happy to see you again, man.”Aaron gave a brief nod. Zane had warned him to pretend not to know him when in front of Luna. He was puzzled but complied.“Where are you working now?” Aaron asked, curious. He had forgotten to repay Zane for the great service he had done for him.“Just a bodyguard.” Zane chuckled softly.Aaron felt sad, even though Zane was working as Laura’s bodyguard. Now, he was rich. He could do anything.“Hale Corp needs a new Vice-CEO. I want you to take that position,” Aaron requested.Everyone was stunned. Had Aaron gone crazy? Zane was just a young man who enjoyed causing trouble.All the women would deeply regret insulting Zane if he officially became the Vice-CEO, while
