The door of the black car opened, and Miles stepped out with calm strides.The moment his feet touched the front courtyard of the Bright Horizon building, several people who had already been waiting immediately moved closer.“Welcome, Mr. Miles.”“We’re glad you’ve finally taken over Bright Horizon.”“If there’s anything we can help you with, please—”Miles did not even slow his pace. He simply raised one hand, cutting off all the greetings coming at him one after another.“That’s enough.”His voice was flat, without a smile or any unnecessary pleasantries.The executives who had been smiling broadly moments earlier immediately exchanged glances before hurriedly following behind him. To them, Miles’s arrival should have been good news.To Miles himself, this was nothing more than a punishment wrapped in a position. His father called it an opportunity to prove himself.Miles knew better.After the previous incident, his father no longer gave him room to handle the family’s main busines

"Hah... making money is really exhausting," Ken muttered as he sprawled out on the sofa.His delivery jacket was still clinging to his body. He had not even had the chance to unzip it yet.On the opposite sofa, Audrey, who had been focused on her laptop all this time, slowly moved her eyes toward Ken. Her gaze stopped for a few seconds, then her expression changed slightly.Ken caught the change from the corner of his eye. He opened one eye and looked at Audrey."What's wrong?"Audrey looked back at her laptop, but her lips moved as she answered in a flat tone, "You stink."Ken immediately opened both eyes wide."Huh?""You stink." Audrey's tone remained flat."Me?"Ken frowned. He raised one hand and sniffed the sleeve of his jacket. He then sniffed the front of the jacket and still felt that everything was fine. Still unconvinced, Ken raised his own arm and brought his nose closer to his armpit.One breath and his expression changed.His body froze in place."...Oh. I guess... it re

Since receiving the Web-App from Audrey, Ken's work had slowly changed.He began entering the data of his regular customers one by one, recording delivery addresses, schedules, and the orders that needed to be picked up. There were no more scattered messages or addresses that had to be searched for repeatedly through conversation histories.Just a few days were enough for Ken to feel the difference.His work became much more organized.Even when several orders came in almost simultaneously, Ken no longer had to frantically open multiple conversations just to make sure which package had to be delivered first."This is actually pretty useful."Ken smiled slightly as he glanced at his phone screen.He had even introduced the Web-App to several of his regular customers. They simply had to enter the package details through the system, while Ken only needed to look at the incoming order list and determine the most efficient route.Simple.But for an independent deliverer like him, something

Velvet Moon Club turned out to be much larger than Ken had imagined.The building stood prominently in the middle of the nightlife district, with bright lights that made its front look like a place that never slept. Ken parked his electric motorbike in the designated area, then took the small box out of his delivery bag.The strange smell from the box was still the same.Ken frowned as he stared at the object."Hopefully it's really just an ordinary item."He walked toward the main entrance. However, after only a few steps from the door, Ken slowed down.Up ahead, several people were being stopped by two security guards."ID, sir.""Please show your identification card."One by one, the visitors took out their ID cards. The guards checked them carefully before finally allowing them to enter.Ken had no problem with such a check. When his turn came, he immediately took out his identification card."Here."One of the guards took it.His eyes moved from the card to Ken's face, then back

"Wait..."Ken looked around. At the end of the dance floor was a staircase leading upstairs. He immediately moved toward it."Excuse me, bro."He immediately ran up the stairs."Chase him!"Footsteps could be heard behind him. Ken quickened his pace. As soon as he reached the second floor, he found himself in another long corridor that ended in a dead end.There were several people behind him, the pursuers who had started coming upstairs."Damn it."Ken ran toward the end of the corridor. However, when he reached it, he stopped abruptly. In front of him was the railing of the second floor. Below was the dance floor.The place was high enough to make a normal person think twice before jumping.Ken swallowed.Behind him, the sound of footsteps was getting closer."He's at the end! Don't let him escape!"Ken looked down, then looked behind him and muttered, "...I really don't like this option."A man appeared at the end of the corridor."Stop!"Ken took one step backward, and the man smil
