What was about to happen next would be too much for Nova to witness. The car had been custom-designed for security, its glass was bulletproof, and hidden compartments inside contained secret weapons. For that reason, Nova was completely safe as long as she stayed inside.Fugaku and Shilpy entered Rubbish Apartments, and immediately a receptionist stepped forward to stop them. "Hello, please show your membership card..."Rubbish Apartments enforced a strict membership system for security reasons. No matter how wealthy a person was, without membership, entry was forbidden.But Fugaku didn’t even look at her, he simply kept walking. "Sir, please—"Shilpy turned her head sharply, her crimson eyes flashing coldly. "If you value your life, don’t stop us."The receptionist’s face drained of color. Terrified, she froze in place and didn’t dare say another word, watching helplessly as the two entered the elevator.***10th Floor, Rubbish Apartments.A handsome young man dressed in designer clo

“If the Young Master asks you a question, then your only job is to answer it.”Paul felt as if his entire body had been rammed by a truck. The pain in his stomach was unbearable, he could barely breathe, let alone stand. His wide, terrified eyes darted between Shilpy and Fugaku. “W-Wait! I—I have no quarrel with you! Why are you doing this to me?”“No quarrel at all?” A cold smile crept across Fugaku’s face. “You planned to harm my sister-in-law. Tell me, should I really let you go?”“Sister-in-law…” Paul froze. Then, as realization struck him, his pupils constricted. “You… you’re Nova’s brother-in-law?”Fugaku’s lips curved slightly, calm and cruel. “Attack.”In the next heartbeat, Shilpy stepped forward, her movements silent, precise, inevitable.“W-Wait! Please, don’t—!” Paul’s scream cracked with terror as she approached.BANG! BANG!The door burst open again, this time from the outside. A squad of trained bodyguards stormed in. Half of them surrounded Fugaku and Shilpy, while th

“Don’t kill me, please! My father, he’s the president of Carbonate Company!”Fugaku smirked faintly. “I know. Your father is Novanda.”Paul’s eyes lit up, desperate for survival. He crawled forward, clutching Fugaku’s trouser leg with trembling hands. “Yes, yes, that’s right! My father is Novanda, the head of Carbonate Company! You could get a fortune out of him if you let me go!”Fugaku’s smile turned cold. “Carbonate Company?” His tone was razor-sharp. “Do you really think a company like Carbonate is enough to buy your life?”Paul’s face turned ghostly pale. He couldn’t believe it, this young man spoke of Carbonate Company, one of Northern’s largest corporations, as if it were worthless dust.“Carbonate may have stood for many years,” Fugaku continued calmly, “but if it collapses, you will be the reason.”He turned slightly toward Shilpy.“No! Wait, don’t—!”Shilpy gave a single nod, her expression unreadable. Then, without hesitation, she drove her heel down onto his groin.CRACK!

Nova’s anxious heart finally eased. “Brother-in-law, you’re finally back! I thought—”“Were you worried about me?” Fugaku smiled, easily reading the worry in her eyes.“Yes… I was, a little.” Nova’s cheeks turned pink, perhaps realizing for the first time that she genuinely cared about him.“Oh right, what about Paul?” she asked quickly.“It’s handled.”“What? Handled?” Nova blinked in disbelief. “Really? You solved everything that fast? I was so nervous while you were gone…”When Fugaku nodded calmly, she finally believed him, though curiosity still flickered in her eyes. “Brother-in-law, how did you take care of it?”“That’s not something you need to worry about,” Fugaku replied evenly. “Just read tomorrow’s news.”Nova looked surprised. “The news? What do you mean?”Fugaku didn’t answer. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the trees passing by outside the window. His lips curved into a faint, knowing smile. By tomorrow at the latest, the Walker family would come crawling to him firs

“Kids say the darndest things.”But often, it’s those innocent words that hit hardest, little truths that force adults to see what they’ve been avoiding.Nova’s eyes flicked back and forth between Fugaku and Aprilia. ‘Wait… have these two not been living together? Have they never even shared the same room? The same bed?’ The more she thought about it, the more her suspicion felt right.Nurul’s birth had been an unexpected event, even Aprilia herself never truly knew who the child’s father was. And now, even though that man had returned to her side, she still couldn’t fully understand him.From what Nova knew of her sister, Aprilia would never allow a man, even her legal husband, to step into her bedroom easily.After a few seconds of stunned silence, Aprilia’s mind finally caught up to her daughter’s words. A flush rose to her cheeks, and she quickly snapped, “Nurul! What did you just say? Who taught you to say something like that?”Startled, Nurul shrank back, hiding behind Fugaku’s

He had never once hesitated when it came to taking a life, but when it came to matters of the heart, Fugaku was hopelessly indecisive.“What?” Nova stared at him, astonished. “Didn’t my sister just tell you to sleep in her room? And you still don’t know what to do?”“I just don’t think it’s right,” Fugaku muttered.“Not right?” Nova’s voice rose, exasperated. “And letting my sister and her daughter wait and wait in the bedroom, that’s what you call right?”She threw her hands in the air. “Oh, brother-in-law… I honestly don’t know how to help you. Do you really think Nurul was whining just because she wanted to sleep with her parents? You really believe that?”“Wasn’t she?” Fugaku asked, genuinely puzzled.“That’s part of it,” Nova said, leaning forward and narrowing her eyes, “But the real reason is that Nurul knows you’ve only just come back, she’s trying to push you and my sister closer. She’s doing what neither of you has the courage to do.”Her words made Fugaku laugh, low and amu

“Daddy, can you read me a fairy tale? I want to hear a bedtime story,” Nurul Meteor rubbed her sleepy eyes while looking at Fugaku Meteor. “I’m sleepy.”“Of course, sweetheart,” Fugaku Meteor nodded with a smile.Aprilia Darmawangsa beside him immediately handed a storybook to Fugaku Meteor.Nurul Meteor shouted, “I don’t want to hear the stories from the book, I want to hear Daddy’s story all this time.”Fugaku Meteor was a little surprised, but he finally said, “Hahaha… alright, let’s hear Daddy’s story.”Aprilia Darmawangsa also closed the book in her hand, her beautiful eyes looking at Fugaku Meteor in surprise. Actually, at the meeting during the previous auction event, Fugaku Meteor had already told a little about himself. But Aprilia Darmawangsa still didn’t know what he had experienced during his three-year absence.Aprilia Darmawangsa had asked someone to investigate him, but they found nothing.“At that time, Daddy almost married another woman, but maybe God opened Daddy’s e

The light beside the bed was dim, softly illuminating the delicate and beautiful face of Aprilia Darmawangsa. Although Fugaku Meteor’s story had ended, she was still lost within it, unable to pull herself out for a long time.Aprilia Darmawangsa had never been on a battlefield, never held a weapon, and never killed anyone. But she could understand how difficult Fugaku Meteor’s journey had been, his transformation from an ordinary man who knew nothing into a God of War. The frustration and pain he had endured were things no one could ever truly comprehend.Aprilia Darmawangsa turned off the light and asked in a trembling voice, “So this is your story?”“Yes, don’t wake our daughter,” Fugaku Meteor said as he turned around, seeing that Nurul Meteor was still fast asleep. Only then did he feel relieved and nod lightly.That was Fugaku Meteor’s story. Of course, there were still many things he hadn’t told her, like when Kent Meteor was found missing and Zeta cried until she fainted, or ab

“Who is this?” When Fugaku Meteor answered the call, a soft female voice came through.“Are you Mr. Fugaku Meteor?”“Yes, I am. And you are?”“I’m Jessica Young, a lawyer representing Carbonate Company,” the woman on the other end replied calmly.“Carbonate Company?” Nova Fauzia was completely shocked to hear that. She hadn’t expected the other party to respond so quickly, let alone to have already hired a lawyer.She watched Fugaku Meteor closely, wanting to know what he would do next. But he showed no fear at all. “So, what’s this about? If it’s nothing important, I’ll hang up.”Hearing how indifferent he was, Jessica Young quickly said, “Was it you who spread the video that appeared in today’s headline news?”Although Fugaku Meteor didn’t admit it, he replied casually, “If you already believe that’s the case, why bother asking?”There was clear mockery in his tone. Jessica Young restrained her anger and continued, “In that case, you are required to delete it immediately! What you’v

Carbonate Company.A middle-aged man in a suit sat at his desk, his face dark and heavy with anger. In front of him stood a man and a woman, the man’s body was covered in lash marks, and the woman, with short hair and dressed in a professional outfit, looked tense. They were Novanda Walker and Jessica Young.“What did he say?” Novanda Walker’s face was so grim that his eyes began to tear up with rage.Jessica Young’s expression was even worse. Though terrified of the chairman’s temper, she still reported everything truthfully. As she spoke, Novanda Walker’s face grew darker and darker until he suddenly stood up, slamming his hands on the desk and shouting furiously.“Outrageous! How dare he underestimate me! Fine, if he refuses to compromise, then tell me, what gives him the courage to threaten me in return? Since when has the Walker family ever feared threats?”“Chairman, please listen first,” Jessica Young quickly interjected. “He said that the original video is in his possession. I
