"He made tens of billions today," Kara replied calmly."Tens of billions?!" Harson nearly choked. "Who is he? An old collector? Or an investor from overseas? Tell me everything in detail."Kara shook her head. "No. His name is Jonathan."Harson's expression instantly changed. His eyebrows rose high, and his breathing momentarily stopped. "Jonathan? I've never heard that name before.""You'll be even more surprised when you hear that he came wearing nothing but a security guard uniform.""What? A security guard?" Harson lightly slapped the table, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's insane! How could a security guard make that much money? Was he just lucky?"Kara sighed. "It wasn't luck, Dad. He really knew what he was doing. Jonathan bid on those stones without the slightest hesitation, as if he could already see what was inside them. Everyone at the auction fell silent when the jade was cut open.""It seems even you underestimated him, Dad. That man didn't even care about billions

Finally, with heavy breathing and a trembling voice, the assassin spoke."I... I only... received the job through the dark web... The payment was transferred... two billion...""Who was it?""I don't know his real name," he said, almost in tears. "But... he said his surname was Sigoro."The moment the name left his mouth, Jonathan's eyes narrowed sharply. A murderous aura slowly radiated from his body, causing the air around him to seem as though it were trembling."Sigoro again..." he whispered, his voice filled with restrained anger. "It seems they truly don't understand the meaning of the word warning."After making sure the assassin could no longer move because both of his arms were broken, his bones crushed, and the pain had nearly rendered him unconscious, Jonathan stood calmly.The night wind blew gently. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number."Dina," he said in a flat but clear voice. "I just captured an assassin. He's still alive, but he won't last long if he's le

Jonathan simply looked at her with a calm smile. He straightened his back before speaking softly, "I appreciate your confidence in me, Kara. But believe me, it was purely luck. I am not a gem expert like you think."Kara slowly shook her head, clearly unconvinced. "You're being too modest. I've seen many people appraise valuable stones, but no one is as fast and accurate as you. That's why I want to invite you to join my company."Meanwhile, Jonathan only smiled faintly before replying in a relaxed yet dignified tone, "I'm grateful for the offer, but I was just promoted at my current workplace. If I suddenly left, it wouldn't feel right. Besides, I'm already comfortable with my current position."Kara fell silent for a moment, staring at the man as though trying to read his thoughts. There was a calmness and strong confidence in Jonathan's eyes that left her unable to say anything more. Eventually, she let out a small sigh and smiled. "Alright, I won't force you. But even if you rejec

Jonathan felt a surge of burning anger in his chest, but he desperately held it back. He could not show his panic in front of his sister. With a calm expression, he gently patted Cynthia's shoulder, giving her a sense of security. Jonathan's voice was low but filled with conviction. "Listen carefully, Cyn. I promise you, we will save Dad. Whoever was cruel enough to frame him like that will face the consequences. According to the law, no more and no less." He looked directly into Cynthia's tearful eyes. "Trust your brother. Within one month, Dad will be home. We will have dinner together again," Jonathan said. He was not making an empty promise. He was telling her the truth. Those firm words seemed to release all the burden Cynthia had carried for years. Unable to hold herself back any longer, she immediately hugged her brother tightly, burying her face against Jonathan's shoulder. Cynthia's voice was muffled by the embrace. "Thank you, Big Brother... I trust you." Jonathan hugg

“I’m not joking,” Jonathan replied quickly, glancing at her with a reassuring smile.Dina looked out the window, trying to suppress the smile that was threatening to appear. “You always know how to say things like this at the wrong time.”“If I wait for the right moment, you might disappear from my life before I get the chance,” Jonathan replied casually, but his eyes showed genuine sincerity.Dina shook her head, the corners of her lips curling slightly. “Your mouth is still as slippery as an eel.”Jonathan chuckled. “But you’re still listening, right?”“Because if I don’t listen, you’ll never stop talking,” Dina replied, this time with a teasing tone.The two of them exchanged glances for a moment. There was a strange silence between them, warm yet enough to make Dina’s heart beat faster. However, before the atmosphere could change any further, Dina suddenly asked softly, “Jo, you don’t actually have something else to deal with, do you? It feels like there’s something you’re hiding.
