“What do you mean by that?” Julian was the first to break the silence, fear creeping into his expression. The staff member instinctively turned towards Park for help. Manager Park reacted quickly. “Please don’t worry, Mr Julian. It appears there is an issue from headquarters. Kindly give me a moment to resolve it.” “What about my land?” Julian pressed, his voice now edged with panic. “Rest assured, nothing will happen to it. You have already completed the purchase,” Manager Park replied, forcing calm into his tone. In truth, he had no idea what was happening, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it. Just as he turned to leave, his phone rang. Manager Park felt the vibration in his pocket and swiftly pulled it out. When he saw the private line of the CEO flashing on the screen, he straightened immediately, forcing composure even as his body trembled with nervous anticipation. “H–Hello?” he answered. “Park,” the voice on the other end snapped. “Shut down all

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

Arthur drove into a secluded stretch of town, the kind of place maps barely bothered to label. A few pedestrians craned their necks, confusion written plainly on their faces. A car this flashy had no business entering a neighborhood like this.Before they could speculate further, engines roared behind him.Hugo and his men followed in, one after another—luxury sedans and modified SUVs flooding the narrow street in aggressive formation. The sight stunned the onlookers into silence.Confused murmurs quickly followed.“Who’s that?”“Did someone strike it rich?”“What’s going on? I’ve never seen this many expensive cars here.”“Nima—this is crazy. I’m putting this online.”Phones were raised almost instinctively.This neighborhood was one of the poorest parts of town, so excitement came easily. Anything out of the ordinary felt like a spectacle, and tonight, the spectacle had arrived uninvited.Arthur noticed their expressions through the windshield. His grip tightened slightly around the

“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

Silence pressed down on the street. Arthur didn’t answer immediately. His eyes lingered on Hamas, sharp and assessing, then shifted briefly to the little girl clinging to his side. She was trying to be brave, but her fingers trembled where they fisted his shirt. The crowd for a moment felt like eternity had passed, and that Arthur would suddenly grow offended, so they tried calling them back. "Hamas, don't be stupid. Get back here!" "How can he rush over like that? Is he that willing to die?" "At least if he wants to die, then he shouldn't drag that innocent girl in!" The words were heavy, reaching Hamas, but he ignores them, staring at Arthur. His sister was just Seven years old, and him being nineteen with no one to look after them, meant there was no other option for him apart from this. Everyone in the street here knew how bad they suffered, but how many of them have tried helping? So what was bad in him trying to look for something better for both of them?

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

The words instantly clicked in Darwin's head. "You!"The ward trembled with Darwin’s fury. “You bastard!” he roared, veins bulging at his temples. “So it was you! You did this to my son—and you dare walk back in here and threaten me with him?!” His anger burned hot, unchecked, years of authority exploding all at once. Never in his life had anyone dared barge into his space, beat his men, and stand there like they owned the room. Arthur didn’t react. He stood there calmly, hands at his sides, eyes indifferent. “The last person who threatened me died,” he said flatly. “Some ended up in the hospital. Your son is living proof.” The words landed like a slap. Darwin’s body shook violently. Rage, humiliation, disbelief—all of it crashed together. “You think you can scare me?” he snarled. “This is my territory! My hospital!” He spun toward the remaining bodyguard standing in front of him. “Beat him to death,” Darwin shouted. “I don’t care how you do it. I’ll triple your salary. Twenty

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

“Stay back!” Darwin shouted, panic cracking through his voice. “Don’t you dare come any closer!"At that moment Arthur suddenly moved.Almost like a blink, and he appeared beside Darwin, one arm reaching for Darwin and the air in the ward seemed to compress around him.“Call the police!” Jason yelled immediately, his voice sharp with alarm. “All of you—call the police right now!”Instantly, the ward descended in chaos. "Is he a ghost?""How did he move like that?""Why isn't the security doing anything?"Someone screamed. Another dropped the clipboard in her hands. Chairs scraped violently against the floor as staff backed away, bodies colliding, panic rippling through the ward like wildfire.Even Christine was too frozen to speak. A human shouldn't be able to move like this, yet Arthur did.Arthur didn’t even blink.In one smooth motion, he reached out and grabbed Darwin by the collar.The fabric bunched in his fist.Darwin barely had time to gasp before Arthur yanked him forward an

“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
