"Whether this is a coincidence or not, I'm certain this man is no ordinary person! I'm not even sure his status is lower than the one I've spent years fighting for." As he said this, Hans's voice sounded grave and heavy, as though he were choosing his words with great care.This left Diana, who had known him for a long time, stunned into a lengthy silence.But then she scoffed and spoke again, "Tch, aren't you just trying to make excuses so I won't punish you! Congratulations, it worked! Tonight... you can sleep outside the house to your heart's content!""Ah, no. I'm afraid I'm mistaken..." Hans looked desperate and tried to talk her down. But Diana immediately scoffed and looked at him with disgust."Your Hansamu Yama, Hans the ruler and leader of the underworld that everyone supposedly fears! Called the king of hell who can decide everyone's life and death, yet turns out to be nothing more than this?" Diana said in disgust, continuing to sneer at him."When your wife and son were k

"Papa, papa, look!" Seeing Arya arrive, Kiara immediately called out to him and pointed her small fingers toward the pride of lions."Look, there's a little baby lion over there!"A baby lion?When Arya turned toward where Kiara was pointing, he frowned slightly at what she was actually pointing at."No, isn't that a cat?" Aruna, looking in the same direction, suddenly asked in confusion."Yeah, that's definitely a cat!" Evelyn, already standing among them, agreed while frowning. "But why is this cat here?"The sight looked strange and rather adorable, as if it didn't belong there at all. Because in truth, the "baby lion" Kiara meant was actually a small orange cat, perhaps no bigger than an adult's palm.Small and orange-yellow, no more than forty centimeters long and about the size of an ordinary palm. It appeared to be sleeping soundly, eyes closed, perched on top of an adult male lion's head.As the group watched the little cat lazily napping atop the head of an adult male lion, t

But in the midst of all that warm, delighted laughter, the cat's brown eyes had fixed on Arya with an expression of pure, undisguised horror. Every hair on its body was standing on end. Its entire frame was trembling. The cat that had reportedly never feared anyone, the self-appointed ruler of a pride of lions, was visibly struggling just to remain upright. "Hahaha!" "The cat finally got what was coming to it!" "Hahaha..." "Daddy, look! That cat is so funny!" "Hahaha!" Everyone around them broke into laughter. Kiara and the other girls couldn't stop pointing at the little cat, giggling with uncomplicated delight. But what the cat was experiencing was nothing like what it appeared from the outside. It couldn't move. It was as though an enormous invisible weight had pinned it in place. From the moment it had laid eyes on Arya, a terror it had never once encountered in its entire life had seized it — not just its body, but something deeper, something it had no name for, sh

The small cat, said to be strange and difficult for both humans and animals to conquer, suddenly "meowed" and answered Arya's call by walking toward him. While slightly lowering its head, the strange small cat that was only twenty centimeters tall and forty centimeters long suddenly leaped from the artificial river at the edge of the fence. And that three-meter-high fence was also successfully jumped over in a single distance. "This..." In everyone's shock, and disbelief at what they saw, the small cat that was the boss of the lion pride fell in front of Arya's feet. "Meow!" Then with a voice that sounded full of sadness and slight fear, it nuzzled Arya's leg using its head. "Impossible! Actually he—" Ani, the zookeeper who knew that strange cat very well, was left speechless at what she saw. The same was true for Evelyn and Aruna who were now very shocked with wide eyes and open mouths. Witnessing this strange small cat, those women didn't know whether they were dreaming or
65
Everyone who had witnessed that event until now immediately fell silent, and stared at the small cat in Kiara's embrace with a gaze full of astonishment and emotion. No one would have guessed the event would turn out like this. A strange cat, said to be a tyrant that made the lion pride its subordinates, would turn into a small obedient cat that seemed to fawn in that little girl's embrace. More than that, everyone had also witnessed its greatness and intelligence. However, with Arya's command and gaze, the mysterious cat immediately acted obedient and submissive like a pet that had been raised for years. Aruna, even though she knew her older brother wasn't an ordinary person, was still stunned and shocked at the strangeness Arya displayed. Especially for Evelyn herself, she also began to realize that this disgusting and jerk man in her view seemed shrouded in mystery. Making him appear mysterious and unpredictable since they first met. Even Ani, who clearly knew who and what t

That night, after dinner, Arya who was walking Evelyn to her car suddenly said, "About the cost of adopting Oyen at the zoo earlier—" "Are you worried about the five thousand I spent?" Evelyn, who was standing beside her car, suddenly stopped and asked. Seeing Arya's light nod, Evelyn couldn't help but chuckle in amusement. "That's only a few thousand dollars, what's there to worry about? Do you know the profit from Valerya products since its launch a few days ago?" Before Arya could ask, Evelyn immediately continued with a wide smile on her lips. "In just a few days, our products have already sold more than 3,000 bottles. It's estimated that within a week it will exceed 7,000 bottles, and within a month it will reach more than 20,000 bottles. That's our company's sales record!" "With a price of about $6 per bottle, total monthly revenue will reach more than $120,000! Considering Valerya's production cost has been quite cheap from the start, the net profit will still reach over

When Hans entered the villa together with Ryan and saw Arya already sitting there, he was also shocked and even fell silent. He hadn't expected that the master Ryan had mentioned before was the young man he met at the zoo yesterday. He also hadn't guessed that the young man he previously wanted to interrogate was actually the hidden master so highly respected by the Hale family. Fortunately at that time he had listened to the guidance and anger of his wife, Diana. If he had recklessly offended Arya, Hans didn't know what his fate would be now. But he also wasn't an ordinary person. After the initial shock, he hurriedly approached Arya respectfully and said, "Master is truly a hidden master. I didn't expect that the master the Hale Family talked about is you. Previously, because of the misunderstanding caused by my ignorance, please don't be offended." Arya chuckled softly and looked at the middle-aged man with a bit of approval in his heart. Because a man like this indeed wasn't

Knowing that Arya was more interested in news about Lana Wijaya, Ryan knew the time had come. But he wasn't like Hans who was full of calculation. He was more direct and answered, "Our family has conducted an investigation at the travel bureau over these past five years, and found that three years ago, the Miss Lana you mentioned took a flight abroad, specifically to Malaysia. Since then, there's been no more news about her." "Malaysia?" Arya frowned slightly upon hearing that news. Ryan nodded and added, "When she left, we also found that Miss Lana didn't go alone, but with a relative named Raka Wijaya. According to information we received, after some time abroad, this Raka Wijaya returned alone and left Miss Lana overseas." "Are you sure?" Arya asked seriously. "Very sure. Our information can be trusted!" Ryan nodded firmly. "So that's it..." Again it was the Wijaya Family's doing, and Raka Wijaya, a name that came up from the investigation about Danu, a Gang Qi master. From

After getting what he wanted, Ryan didn't care about anything at all, and truly felt relieved. Honestly, he was really afraid that Arya would feel offended and direct his anger toward the Hale family. Especially after getting news that Marta and even Danu, a Gang Qi Expert, would be buried in such a place. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After some small talk and promising to keep monitoring the Wijaya family's developments, Ryan and Hans decided to leave. But Arya suddenly remembered something and stopped him. Then taking a pen and paper, scribbling for a while, and handing two sheets of paper to Ryan. Ryan, taking the two sheets—one containing a medicine formula, and the other containing a drawing of a flower named "Blue Snow Dew Lotus"—couldn't help but feel confused. "That formula is a formula for medicinal bathing. Follow it according to the measurements and instructions I wrote, then soak your body at midnight once every three days, and you'll get progress in your

After Ryan's group left, Arya showered, had breakfast, and took Kiara to school before returning to the villa. Before the sun had climbed to its peak, he began sorting through the herbs Ryan had brought and made preparations for alchemy. There were two kinds of pills he intended to make: the Yuan Pill, and the Minor Yuan Pill. Like the Yuan Pill, the Minor Yuan Pill served the same general purpose, but its potency and benefits were several times weaker. This was by design — the Minor Yuan Pill used common, ordinary ingredients. The primary components were things like ginseng, lingzhi, and polygonatum, none of them particularly aged. With some adjustment and the alchemical techniques Arya possessed, he would refine these Yang-energy herbs into something that could strengthen vitality and support the body in sustained ways. These pills were not for himself or for Kiara. They were for people like Aruna — ordinary humans. With
