The moment Edward's expression turned serious, the smile on Johnson's face gradually disappeared.He instinctively sat up straighter on the sofa."Dad..."His voice carried a hint of concern."Is everything alright?"Edward looked at him quietly through the phone screen.Johnson's heart tightened. "Did the doctors say something? Is your condition getting worse?"Edward immediately smiled reassuringly and shook his head."No. It's nothing like that. The doctors are still running more examinations. So far, they haven't told me anything negative."Johnson released a quiet breath of relief."That's good."For a brief moment, silence filled both ends of the video call.Then Edward spoke again."Actually... This isn't about me. It's about you.""Me?" Johnson frowned pointing at himself. "But I'm fine."Edward nodded slowly."Yes. You are." He paused before quietly adding, "For now."Those two words instantly made Johnson's expression turn solemn."What do you mean?"Edward sighed deeply. He

Soon, the three of them arrived at the jewelry store.Large golden letters hung above the entrance. ‘GLOWARE JEWELRY’The moment they stepped inside, the servant girl immediately pointed toward one of the cashiers behind the counter."Madam, that's her. She is the one I always deposited the money to."The middle-aged woman turned sharply toward the cashier.Johnson followed her gaze.The cashier looked to be in her mid-twenties and was arranging some documents behind the counter.Johnson walked forward and placed the invoice on the desk. "Excuse me."The cashier looked up."Yes, sir?"Johnson pointed at the servant. "Has this young lady genuinely been making deposits here?"The cashier barely looked at the invoice before nodding."Yes. She has."The servant immediately let out a sigh of relief. "I told you, madam. I wasn't lying."The woman ignored her and quickly turned back to the cashier, "If that's true, then why did you refuse to issue the jewelry after completing the full paymen

Not too long after, the sound of a police siren echoed through the street. A police patrol car soon pulled up in front of the store, immediately drawing excited reactions from the crowd."They're here!""Finally!""Let's see if that manager keeps smiling now."The man who had called the police pointed triumphantly at the manager."You thief!" he shouted. "Your day of reckoning is finally here."With that, he hurried toward the officers who had just stepped out of the vehicle.One of the policemen adjusted his cap and asked, "Who called us?""I did," the man answered immediately.The officer nodded. "What seems to be the problem?"The man quickly pointed toward the store."Officer, this store has been scamming people. Some of us paid for jewelry and never received anything. Others were sold fake jewelry at outrageous prices."He then pointed at the manager standing behind the security guards. "And when we complained, that manager ordered security to throw us out."Taking a deep breath,

At this point the manager was trembling. He stared at George with genuine fear visible in his eyes.This young man had not only ordered his boss to come over immediately, but had also threatened to burn down the store and break his boss's legs.The confidence he had displayed earlier had almost completely disappeared. The manager swallowed hard. Could he and the store owner really be in trouble this time?The victims noticed the change immediately. One of them laughed excitedly."Look at him! He's scared!"Another person nodded vigorously."I've never seen him panic like this before. He must know your brother-in-law is someone important."Soon, everyone began crowding around Kevin."Your brother-in-law is incredible. We're definitely getting our money back today. I knew someone powerful would eventually stand up for us."Kevin felt like he was floating on air. His chest swelled with pride. He glanced at his girlfriend and saw admiration shining in her eyes. That feeling alone made hi

The moment El Boba declared that, all the victims went pale.Not only had this man scammed them, he had ordered for all their legs to be broken.The atmosphere became suffocating.But before any of El Boba's men could move, Johnson spoke. His calm voice cut through the silence."These people did nothing wrong. They only came here to demand the money you scammed them. That is their right."He addressed El Boba directly. "So why should you break their legs? If someone offended you, then deal with that person alone. Leave these innocent people out of it."Everyone turned towards Johnson with disbelief.Even the man who was tasked with slapping George’s mouth till it tore off his face stopped momentarily to see who had dared speak to his boss without any fear.Several victims looked worried.One elderly man whispered anxiously,"Young man... please stop talking. You'll only make him angrier."But Johnson remained completely calm.El Boba slowly turned toward him. His thick eyebrows knitte
