“An apartment?!” Kaiden roared, his voice booming and shaking the walls of the basement. His anger overflowed, burning away the last trace of gratitude that had briefly crossed his mind.“Who do you think you are, huh? You are just a lucky homeless man who happened to know one medical trick!” His shout was filled with contempt. The new strength flowing through his veins—the result of Zane’s miraculous healing—only made him feel invincible and arrogant. He wanted to erase the calm and dismissive expression from Zane’s face forever.Without warning, Kaiden launched a straight punch toward Zane’s jaw. The wind created by his fist was sharp and fast, proving that his heart had fully recovered.WOOSH!Zane only tilted his head slightly. The punch passed right beside his ear, leaving nothing but a useless rush of air.“You are too slow, Kaiden,” Zane said lightly, his voice flat without any hint of threat. “And by the way, why are you attacking me? I only asked for what you already promised

“Really? Then why were you at her apartment?”“Laura just felt sorry for me,” Zane said smoothly. “I didn’t exactly have a decent place to crash, so she’s letting me stay there for a while. That’s it. We’re not dating.”“I see. I thought you two were together.”Zane let out a small laugh. “I’m just some broke guy. There’s no way Laura would date me. You left me because I was poor, remember?”Zeeva lowered her head. He still misunderstood her, but there was no point explaining what had really happened. Maybe he deserved to hate her.“Laura’s an old friend,” Zane continued effortlessly. “I used to work as her assistant back when she was vice-CEO at Chrizen Corp. The apartment’s hers. She’s just letting me rest there for a bit.”There was no way he was going to admit that the place, worth tens of millions, actually belonged to him.Zeeva let out a quiet breath of relief. “Oh… that’s good,” she murmured.Zane narrowed his eyes, catching the unmistakable relief in hers. A mischievous idea

Zane stared at the transparent screen floating in front of him, confusion written all over his face. The system panel glowed blue in the darkness of his room.“I’ve already collected 20 SP. Should I level up or buy a new skill?” Zane rubbed his chin, brows furrowed as he weighed the options in front of him.After a few moments of thought, he made his decision. “I’ll just level up. The faster I level up, the sooner I can claim all this wealth.”[You have 20 SP][Do you want to level up?]Without hesitation, Zane tapped the ‘yes’ panel that appeared before him. Instantly, his updated stats flashed on the screen, showing his progress.[20/100 to Level 2]“This is pretty easy,” he muttered, ambition gleaming in his eyes. “Hopefully no weird quest pops up tomorrow while I’m having dinner with Zeeva. I’m really looking forward to it.”[Level 1 Quest Has Appeared]‘Shit! I just said that!’ Zane cursed inwardly.[Beat up someone who has broken your heart until their bones shatter][You have 6

‘How did I complete the mission? I didn’t even break the bones of the person who broke my heart.’[Didn’t Harvey just hurt your heart by beating Zeeva?]‘Ah… I see now.’Zane suddenly remembered Zeeva. Without wasting another second, he lifted her into his arms and rushed her to Elipson Hospital.“What happened to her?” Dahlia hurried toward him the moment she saw the unconscious woman.“She passed out after getting beaten by that bastard! Save her! Mobilize the best doctors in this hospital!” Zane barked.“Don’t worry.”Zane clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white.“Dahlia,” he called, his voice low but filled with restrained fury. “If you fail to save her, I swear I’ll level this hospital to the ground.”Dahlia nodded obediently. A slight tremor ran through her when she realized he was not bluffing. Judging from the bloodstains on his shirt, Zane had just come from a brutal fight.He chose to wait in the cold hospital corridor. The silence of the night was broken onl

“The Vault?” Dahlia froze behind the reception desk. Gato grinned, satisfied by the fear written across her face.His two men stood firmly behind him, like bulls ready to crush anything in their path.“I’ll ask you one more time,” Gato said, his voice thick with threat. “Which room is Zeeva in? Don’t make me stain that uniform of yours with blood.”Dahlia kept a polite smile on her face even though her heart was pounding violently. “I already told you, sir. There is no patient named Zeeva in this hospital.”BANG!Gato slammed his fist down on the marble desk. The impact echoed through the corridor. Patients in the distance immediately ran away in panic.“I don’t have time for small talk! Do you know what it means when I say ‘Vault’? We don’t hesitate to kill!”An elegant woman walked toward the reception desk. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore a stylish olive green bomber jacket.“Excuse me,” Abigail’s voice cut through Gato’s intimidation. She stood right beside the bulky
