Marina covered her mouth to hold back her laughter and shook her head. "It's partly Mom's fault too. I never told her about you. She was still very young when you left."Jonathan sighed softly, his eyes growing gentler. "It's okay, Mom. I'm just glad that at least you and Dad have been doing well."Marina looked at him with a guilty expression. "But, son, how did you find this house? I thought that after our old neighborhood was demolished, there was no way you could have known that we moved here."Jonathan smiled faintly as he looked around the room. "I was confused at first too, Mom. When I returned to Vaganza City, our old home had already been demolished. I started looking for work while gradually trying to find information through civil records, but I came up with nothing. Eventually, I asked a friend who worked in the police department for help. They used the old records and relocation documents to track us down and finally found this address."Marina's eyes became misty. She lo

"I don't know. But judging from their clothes, they look like martial arts uniforms, complete with the emblem of the Vaganza City Martial Arts Association."Jonathan smiled faintly. "Huh, looks like the troublemakers have finally arrived."He stood up and patted his pants pocket to make sure his cigarettes and lighter were still there before walking outside.As soon as he passed the reception desk, his eyes immediately landed on two men in their fifties sitting in front of the office.One was fat, with a round, sweaty face. The other was tall and thin, with a cold gaze and his arms crossed over his chest. Both were wearing dark gray training uniforms with the emblem of the Vaganza Martial Arts Association on the left side of their chests.Jonathan stopped in front of them."Who are you looking for?" His voice was calm but carried a hint of pressure.The fat man stood up and lifted his chin arrogantly."You're Jonathan?""Yes. What do you want?""We're here on behalf of the Chairman of

Hearing that, Gunawan became furious, his expression instantly turning grim."If that's the case, I can't let this minor matter grow simply because of one defeat. As Chairman, I have to deal with this personally. If he's really bold enough to threaten me, then let me see just how much courage he actually has."Haliman glanced at the bank card on the table. His breathing was heavy, but his eyes gleamed with satisfaction."Do it. I'll leave everything to you, Chairman Gunawan. Capture him. Punish him as severely as possible."Gunawan nodded, his expression no longer calm but completely focused."We're going to Dayantara Tower."As quitting time approached, the atmosphere on the lower floor of the office had already begun to quiet down. Several employees carried their bags while chatting casually and pressing the elevator buttons.Outside, the afternoon sky was beginning to turn orange.Felinia approached Mella's office."Come on, let's grab something to eat before we go home," she said

Gunawan screamed at the top of his lungs, but the excruciating pain caused him to lose consciousness instantly. His body collapsed limply onto the floor.Several Association members immediately rushed forward to support Gunawan's body, while the others lowered their heads deeply.One of them trembled as he spoke softly, "Master Swordsman... please forgive us... We were wrong. Please let our Chairman live..."Jonathan looked at them calmly before letting out a short sigh. "Don't call me a swordsman," he said in a low but firm voice. "I'm not part of your corrupt world. Just call me Master Jonathan. Because starting today, I will be the one teaching you the meaning of proper manners."His words echoed throughout the entire lobby.Everyone immediately dropped to their knees, their voices overlapping as they pleaded, "Forgive us, Master Jonathan! We won't do it again! We were wrong!"Jonathan pointed toward the reception desk, which had been shattered into pieces by Gunawan's punch earlie

The chubby man took half a step back, glancing suspiciously at his own hands before looking at Jonathan."Clap your hands? Yeah, right. I'm not getting involved in that. My hands might go numb afterward."The crowd immediately burst into laughter."Haha! Are you scared, Boss Roni?" one of the employees shouted."Careful, or you might end up pooping your pants!"That remark made everyone laugh even harder, except Jonathan, who immediately rolled his eyes with an annoyed expression."Seriously? I'm eating here. Please don't bring up disgusting things like that," he said, sounding half annoyed. "Next time someone talks nonsense like that, I'll make them experience what intestinal training really feels like."Instead of calming down, his words caused the laughter to explode once again. Several people slapped the table, while others nearly spilled their drinks because they were laughing so hard.Felinia, who had just taken a mouthful of hot soup, immediately choked when she heard that."Kh
