Ding! HOST HAS SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRED THE LAND. GRANTING REWARDS: +5 POINTS. LAND CONTAINS ESSENTIAL VALUE FOR HOST’S DEVELOPMENT. HOST IS REQUIRED TO COMMENCE DEVELOPMENT. The system interface flashed across Arthur’s mind, halting his steps for half a second. His development? Arthur frowned slightly. What kind of value did this land hold for it to be directly tied to his growth? From the outside, it was nothing more than an abandoned stretch buried deep inside an undeveloped estate. No foot traffic. No infrastructure. No immediate profit. And yet, the system had been insistent—borderline aggressive. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to use the unlimited card properly. The building he initially wanted was now off the table, derailed by interference and forced delays. Still, Arthur had learned one thing since coming back from death. The system never wasted moves. Since he had already committed to following its guidance, Arthur didn’t dwell on it further. Overthinking only slow

“How dare you hurt one of my men in front of me?”Hugo’s roar snapped the rest of his men awake, fear hardening into anger. Their glares sharpened as they tightened their grips on their weapons.Kelvin wasn’t just another goon. He was one of them. And now, because of Arthur, they didn’t even know if he was alive or dead.Arthur observed their reactions calmly, unfazed by Hugo’s rage. “Your time is ticking.”“You bastard!” Hugo spat, fury boiling over. “You think you’re invincible just because you caught Kelvin off guard? I still have men with me. Boys!”At his call, the goons responded instantly. Their stances widened, knuckles whitening around clubs and blades, eyes burning with hostility as they closed ranks behind him.“Yes, boss!”The unified shout echoed down the street, sharp and aggressive, sending panic rippling through the crowd. People retreated instinctively, scrambling backward, unwilling to be dragged into what was clearly turning lethal.They had warned Arthur. They had

At the hospital, Grey was panicking.He didn’t dare step into the ward, afraid of provoking Mr. Darwin. Just hours earlier, he had sent Hugo and his men to retrieve the person responsible for all this—and now they were missing as well.What kind of person could make even someone like Logan disappear without a trace?The bodyguards beside Grey cast him pitiful glances. It was only a matter of time before Mr. Darwin lost his patience, and no one knew what would happen to Grey then.Just as Grey was on the verge of pulling his hair out, his phone rang.He frowned at the screen—then immediately answered when he saw the caller ID.“Hugo, how dare you ignore my calls for this long?” Grey roared into the phone. “Do you have any idea how much stress you’re putting me through?”His chest heaved with anger, his face flushing red as he unloaded without restraint.On the other end, Hugo clutched his phone weakly, breath ragged.His men lay unconscious all around him. If not for the need to get th

Dr. Jason’s gaze flicked between Christine and the man standing quietly near the door.Arthur hadn’t moved since entering, yet the room felt smaller for it.Darwin’s voice cut through the tension, sharp and impatient. “Well? What are you waiting for?”Jason swallowed.He had been pressured and threatened by Darwin for hours already, but this—this was an opportunity. If he handled it right, he could ingratiate himself with one of the city’s most powerful men and push Christine aside at the same time.Two birds. One stone.His pulse quickened, though his face remained carefully composed.Jason straightened, his expression hardening as he turned toward Christine. “Dr. Christine,” he said coolly, “care to explain what’s going on here?”“Are you deaf?” Darwin snapped before she could respond. “I told you to call the police! Why are you asking questions?”Jason’s shoulders tensed. He forced a thin laugh, the sound brittle. “Mr. Darwin, please understand. I can’t just call the police without

“Officer—thank goodness you’re here!” Jason rushed forward, pointing sharply at Arthur. “Arrest that lunatic! He barged in here and started assaulting people—he even threatened Mr. Darwin!”The nurses hurried to back him up, voices overlapping in panic.“Yes, it’s true, officer!” “Please—save Mr. Darwin!” “Don’t let anything happen to him!” “And Doctor Christine is involved—she knows this man!”Christine stiffened.She met the officers’ gazes as they turned to her, her spine straight, her expression controlled. After a brief pause, she nodded once—neither confirming nor denying anything.The five officers surveyed the scene, then exchanged glances.They’d responded expecting a routine disturbance—an unpaid bill, an aggressive patient, maybe a drunken relative. Not this. Not a man kneeling on the floor in agony, another standing over him as if the entire hospital belonged to him.Slowly, deliberately, the officers raised their guns, eyes locked on Arthur.Darwin’s eyes lit up with frag
