But Ikbal had been too arrogant. He acted alone, without thought or restraint.“Listen carefully, Ikbal,” Paul’s voice on the other end of the call was low, deliberate, and icy. “I’ve had my eyes on Nova for a long time. I’ve tried every way to get her, and every time she slipped through my hands. This time, I wanted her desperate enough to come to me herself. But you…” his tone sharpened, “You just had to ruin everything.”Ikbal didn’t dare breathe, much less interrupt.Paul’s fury crackled over the line for another long moment before it softened slightly, becoming something far more dangerous, cold amusement. “Still,” he said finally, “It’s not a total disaster.”Then, in a voice that sent a chill down Ikbal’s spine, “Today’s the deadline. Keep pressing her for the ten billion. And if she can’t pay…”Paul chuckled darkly. “Then she can use her body to pay. Kidnap her. Bring her to me.”Ikbal swallowed hard. “Y-Yes, Young Master Paul. I won’t fail this time. I swear it.”“Good. Then

"Alright." Uncle Anson smiled with great complexity. He didn't refuse at all; it was just that Fugaku understood him completely. Uncle Anson could only resign himself."Uncle Anson, I will not let you die." Fugaku placed his hand on Uncle Anson's wrist and felt it carefully."How is my father's condition?" Winda and Nova looked very nervous.Fugaku shook his head. "His pulse is very weak, his heartbeat is also irregular, his body is unstable, just as the doctor said. His lungs have been contaminated, so it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside."As soon as they heard these words, Winda's and Nova's faces immediately turned extremely pale."However, he can still be saved." Fugaku said seriously, "I need help.""I can." Nova looked very brave volunteering herself and said seriously, "What should I do.""Help me support Uncle Anson to get up. I need to clear the fire inside, then use silver needles to dispel the wind."Nova nodded, then very carefully, she helped Uncle Anson up, ge

Fugaku immediately calmed Uncle Anson. "Uncle, I know how you feel, but the most important thing right now is for you to get better, so you can teach him a lesson."Anson shook his head, frowning. "Fugaku, I know you're kind-hearted, but this sickness of mine won't get better."Fugaku didn't continue speaking, but turned to Nova. "Bring me the trash can."Nova didn't understand why he was asking her for the trash can. Although confused, she followed his command and pulled out the trash can from under the bed."Uncle, this might feel a little uncomfortable, please bear with it." After speaking, Fugaku gently held Anson's wrist joint, and then massaged it gently.At first, the massage was slow, but then it grew faster and more pronounced. Uncle Anson's breathing suddenly quickened, his face paled, and a strong sense of nausea built up.Finally, his throat convulsed in pain, his eyes opened wide, darting up and down. His stomach finally felt full and bloated, then Uncle Anson leaned forw

Winda stared at all of this in amazement. She could not believe that the Anson who was healthy now was the frail old man from earlier. Even Anson himself couldn't believe it.Nova glanced at Fugaku while thinking, murmuring to herself, "Brother-in-law, who are you really?"Although he looked like an ordinary unemployed man, he owned an expensive limited-edition car, had a female friend like Shilpy, and possessed extraordinary medical knowledge."Brother-in-law, what should we do next?" Nova looked at the time and appeared a little anxious, "It's almost five o'clock."Every time she looked at Fugaku, she felt more amazed by him. It was as if this man possessed magical powers, so that everything that had seemed impossible to solve unraveled once Fugaku dealt with it.Fugaku pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's go there."Nova wasn't a native of the area, so it was natural she didn't know where the Tivacan Inn was. Meanwhile Winda seemed a little uneasy; she nodded, "But thi
Chapter 75
The group of black-clad thugs closed in, making Nova terribly frightened; she immediately hid behind Fugaku. Ikbal had given the order to capture Nova and to kill Fugaku. When a woman was seized by a band of thugs, there was usually only one outcome: to take pleasure in her.Seeing this, Ikbal did not feel particularly proud; instead he looked around nervously. After making sure the woman encountered earlier in the day was not present, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face instantly turned arrogant and cruel."You, Fugaku! It seems the woman from earlier today isn't here. Now let's see how you can beat me!" Ikbal gazed at Nova's body with a greedy look. "Honestly, in any case tonight this woman must come with us. And I'll tell you this, you following her here today is the same as looking for death."If tonight he succeeded in capturing this woman and took her to Young Master Paul's room, in return he would get his turn to have his fun with her after Young Master Paul had

No one knew how the men in black had fallen. All they felt was a gust of wind pass through, and after that, they dropped like marionette dolls whose strings had been cut."Don't worry, they're not dead, only the nerves in their arms and legs have been severed." Fugaku smiled calmly, and with a laugh he said, "This is their punishment.""Y-You!" Ikbal stared at Fugaku with a pale face, unable to speak clearly."I think you should look behind you." A satisfied smile spread across Fugaku's face as he pointed behind Ikbal.In an instant, Ikbal felt a chill run through his body, making him tremble. He seemed to sense something, his body stiffened and he turned around. His eyes met a pair of red eyes.Those eyes were red like a wandering sea of fire. Merely a glance could plunge a person into deep despair.Shilpy stood behind Ikbal like a ghost, staring at him closely. The killing cold penetrated his soul, leaving him unable to move.It seemed that if he took one step, he would die at once.
Chapter 77
Fugaku’s words were terrifying, making the atmosphere extremely tense. Ikbal trembled in fear, not even daring to lift his head.“Yet I still have no right to hurt you. You should be grateful you have a good father.” Fugaku’s murderous urge faded, and he exhaled slowly, “Only Uncle Anson can teach you a lesson.”Ikbal was shocked, his face filled with resentment and anger, “My father is gravely ill and doesn’t have much time left in this world. Isn’t it only right that he does something for me before he dies!”Fugaku’s face was cold, then he pointed to the rear and said, “Open your eyes wide and look closely. Who is that?”Ikbal looked behind, his pupils contracted and he cried out in surprise, “Father?”“Ahh…” Accompanied by Winda, Uncle Anson emerged from the woods with a gloomy face, “You still have a father!”Suddenly Ikbal sank to the floor, his eyes dimmed as if he had lost his strength, faintly murmuring, “Impossible, this can’t be happening. You should be terribly ill right no
Chapter 78
Uncle Anson tore off a fresh branch and continued to beat him. Nova and Winda were stunned, especially Winda, who felt pangs of pity because after all he was her brother."Brother Fugaku, please...""Sorry, I can't help with this."Winda had just hoped Fugaku would intervene to stop Anson, but Fugaku immediately refused. His expression was cold and serious."I know what you want to say, but I can't do it. If I block him, it would be unfair to Nova." Fugaku pointed at Nova and said in a low voice, "Even if I don't follow any religion or gods, I still believe that when someone does something wrong, someone will come and teach them a lesson. Nova is just a college student and she is innocent. Why should she be harmed like this? And if a girl is taken away by a group of men, what will happen, I don't think I need to explain further.""Hmm..." Winda's face paled slightly, and Nova was still somewhat confused.There was no doubt how tragic her fate would be if Fugaku did not help. Not only
Chapter 79
When Fugaku heard this, he laughed. “Looks like he’s being quite cooperative.”Everything had gone just as Fugaku expected. Though Ikbal was vile and cunning, he was still just an ordinary man with weaknesses. How could someone like him possibly have the psychological endurance of a soldier?Anyone subjected to Shilpy’s interrogation, even the most strong-willed, would eventually break. For someone like Ikbal, a small threat was enough to make him crumble. Of course, this had everything to do with Shilpy’s former line of work.Soon, Shilpy dragged Ikbal out of the forest. True to Fugaku’s word, he had lost nothing, but his face was pale and shaken, eyes wide with fear.“Has he confessed to everything?”“To everything.”Shilpy nodded. “The mastermind behind all this is Paul Walker. Their deal was that his debts would be paid off, but in exchange he had to convince his father to seek treatment at Miss Nova’s clinic. The medicine supplied by the university’s medical department all came f
Chapter 80
“Since his eldest son, Anggara, was diagnosed with impotence, Novanda Walker, the chairman of Carbonate Company, has placed all his hopes on his second son, Paul Walker. Relying on his family’s power and influence, Paul committed countless shameful acts during his years at Northern University.”As she drove, Shilpy calmly recited Paul Walker’s personal history. Nova was astonished by how much she knew. The report was incredibly detailed, she even knew exactly what Paul had done at specific ages.‘Who is this woman, really?’ Nova thought. ‘Is she some kind of agent? How did my brother-in-law meet someone like her? Does my sister even know?’One by one, questions about Fugaku filled Nova’s mind. Her curiosity kept growing, along with something else she couldn’t quite name.She no longer dared to underestimate Fugaku as she had before. All she felt now was a swirl of confusion, surprise, and a faint sense of awe. Without realizing it, she was beginning to harbor a special feeling for thi
