Meanwhile, Martin’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Each call brought more bad news—another of his businesses had been trashed by men claiming to be from the Thunder Gang.At first, Martin didn’t take it seriously. Turf scuffles were common, and he didn’t recognize the attackers. But when over ten locations were hit in rapid succession, he began to realize something was seriously wrong.Fresh off his time in bed with Amanda, Martin’s mood shifted instantly when he heard that Paul was behind the assaults. His face turned red with rage.“Damn it! Those idiots think they can take us on? We’re running legitimate businesses! Call the police—now!”But every attempt to report the attacks failed. Each police station he called gave the same indifferent response: “We’re short-staffed at the moment. Please wait, we’ll send a team soon.”Worse, they sounded like they couldn’t care less—as if Martin’s complaints were meaningless.Furious and helpless, Martin smashed his phone to pieces. His rage boil

Meanwhile, Martin—who had been in a panic earlier—had finally calmed down. The problem he faced was indeed serious.“Damn it!” Martin growled. “If that filthy fox hadn’t gotten in my father’s way, he would’ve backed me up instead of ignoring me!”Just then, Amanda stepped gracefully out of the bedroom, wearing a sheer, alluring outfit. Although she was now Martin’s new lover, Arion’s continued interference in their business had been driving her mad.Martin grabbed her arm roughly and demanded, “You really don’t know anything about Arion’s background? You two dated before, didn’t you? Hm!”Amanda’s arm reddened from his grip, but she didn’t resist. Calmly, she said, “I truly don’t know. And we weren’t exactly a real couple. This pure body of mine—haven’t I already given it to you?”Martin’s anger softened instantly.“Baby,” Amanda continued sweetly, “I added your father, Mr. Matius Winzy, on WhatsApp. He needed some foreign documents translated, and I told him I could help. He’ll be co

At that moment, darkness clouded Arion’s mind. Deep within his eyes, shadows swirled — Jovika’s mother was in a far worse condition than he had imagined.Although Arion had studied countless illnesses, he still couldn’t determine what was eating away at her body. It was as if part of her had suffered a severe internal blow — yet even after he injected her with a demon-sealing spell, there was no effect at all.This was the first time Arion had ever encountered a case like this. Even his most powerful sealing incantations were useless. A heavy sense of helplessness began to settle over him.Worse still, the woman’s physical strength was fading rapidly. If this continued, she would soon lose all vitality.Arion couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. He turned to Jovika and said, “Manager Jovika, I don’t have a good solution for your mother’s condition. But… I have a senior from my academy. If you’re willing, I can ask him to come.”Jovika’s heart was sinking into despair, but the moment

The words burst out the moment the call connected, as if Simon couldn’t wait another second. Jovika froze, speechless and shocked by what she’d just heard.But Simon didn’t care whether she responded. He continued, his tone flat but firm, “Since it’s my fault, I’ll leave without taking anything. The house is yours, the savings are yours, I promise I’ll never bother you again.”Jovika was stunned. Could this be real? How could Simon, who was always selfish and domineering, suddenly say something like that? It was like the sun rising from the north.Meanwhile, Simon was drenched in cold sweat. Jovika’s silence made him even more nervous. Biting his lip, he added in a trembling voice, “Jovika, if that’s not enough, I’ll hand over the company too. Is that enough now?”The man who used to act like a devil was now clearly panicked. He knew what was truly at stake.Jovika sighed, feeling the whole situation made no sense. “No need!” she said firmly.In her mind, she wondered if Simon had com

Arion felt his vision dim for a moment. “Nara, don’t picture me like that. Do I look like the kind of man who’d jump on every woman he meets?”Why did Nara seem more forward than he was? Were all these mystical beings this uninhibited?“Master, do you know what I’m thinking right now?” Nara asked with a mischievous smile.“What now?” Arion replied irritably.“I just want to know if you’re really a real man. Can you actually… do it?”Damn it!Hearing that question, Arion nearly lost his mind. “Nara, do you know what will happen to you if you dare ask your master something like that?!”But Nara didn’t seem the least bit intimidated by Arion’s anger. She tilted her head slightly and asked innocently, “Why, Master?”“You—!” Arion was fuming. “Are you seriously that curious whether I’m a real man or not?!”“Well then, Master, come on. Nara belongs to you anyway!” Nara replied cheerfully, completely unfazed.Arion thought that if he didn’t teach this little brat a lesson today, she’d only g
