In the medical tent, Felicia sat with a blanket covering her body which was still trembling from the residual shock. Around her, the Principal and the teachers stood with pale faces, begging with cold sweat pouring down. "Miss Felicia... please help us," whispered the Principal in a hoarse voice, his hands trembling. "I beg you very much, do not tell your father that Kevin and his friends were the ones who caused you to run and slip. If the Big Boss knows there are students who triggered this accident, our school could be closed this very day. Our careers will be ruined, Miss." Felicia looked at them with a flat gaze. She was sick of seeing this hypocrisy. Earlier she did run to stop Kevin who was about to hit Kaelan, and because the ground was slippery, she slipped. Kevin did not push her, but Kevin was the reason she was in that dangerous position. However, Felicia knew, if her father knew the details, her father would not care about intentions. Her father would level this school

Inside the silent Toyota Alphard, the air felt cool against the skin. Kaelan sat back. His eyes were half-closed, allowing the classical music played by the driver to fill the silence. In the front seats, the private driver and the Great Master's guard occasionally exchanged glances through the center rearview mirror. Their brows were furrowed in confusion. Usually, when they drove villagers or newly rich people, the passengers would be busy touching the texture of the leather seats, asking about the functions of the buttons on the armrests, or taking selfies to show off on social media. But this boy was different. Kaelan sat with perfect posture, his back straight yet relaxed. His legs were not raised carelessly. His hands remained still, showing no urge to touch the control panel. He did not even look slightly amazed. As if for him, sitting in a car worth billions of dollars was a boring routine. "Sorry, Master Kael. Is the car's AC too cold?" the driver finally asked, unable t

Mrs. Beatrice ended the call as quickly as lightning. Her rude expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a terrifyingly sweet mask. She gave an eye signal to the other women who were gathered there. "Ssst! Change your attitude! Kael is carrying a lot of money!" Mrs. Beatrice whispered excitedly. In the yard, Evelyn, who was hanging clothes to dry, immediately turned around. Seeing her son getting out of a luxurious car, her expression changed drastically. She put on the perfect mask of an innocent village woman who was shocked. "Kael!" Evelyn cried. She ran toward her son, both hands covering her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Oh my God, Son! What did you come home in? Why is it so luxurious?" Evelyn's acting was perfect. However, behind her seemingly shocked eyes, Evelyn looked at the Alphard indifferently. There was not the slightest admiration in her heart. "Just a box with wheels," Evelyn thought coldly. A car like this was nothing compared to the facilities of

"Ma, Kael will rest first. My whole body feels broken," Kaelan said softly, stretching his stiff muscles. "Yes, Son. Sleep. Let Mama take care of this," Evelyn replied while stroking the top of her son's head. She was still staring at the stacks of money in the suitcase in disbelief. Kaelan walked toward his room, but his steps stopped at the doorway. He turned back toward his mother. "Oh yes, Ma. Later, when Mama calls someone to repair the roof and kitchen, just have them repair the front fence as well." "Yes, Mama will take care of it later." "One more thing, Ma. With some of that money, please buy food ingredients or cooked food. Give them to the neighbors on both sides. Including Mrs. Beatrice and those who like to talk about us." Evelyn fell silent. Her brow furrowed in confusion. "Them? But they are often cruel to us, Son? Just now they only acted nice because they saw you carrying money." Kaelan smiled faintly. "Just let them be, Ma. Their mouths are indeed sharp, but t

There was a subtle vibration in the air. Kaelan's leg muscles tensed, filled with energy that made him feel as light as cotton yet as strong as steel. Kaelan slowly opened his bedroom window so that the hinges would not squeak. He looked outside. Quiet. ZRAP! Kaelan's figure disappeared from the room. His first target was Mrs. Martha's house, an old widow at the end of the alley who lived alone and was often sick, but had never once complained or spoken badly about others. Kaelan stopped in front of Mrs. Martha's worn-out house. With a lightning-fast movement, he slipped a black plastic bag through the air vent above the door. BUK. The sound of it falling was soft, enough to be heard but not enough to startle the heart. Kaelan did not wait. He immediately sped away again. The second target, Mr. Ben. A market laborer who had five young children. Mr. Ben was an honest man, even though his neighbors often owed him money, he never got angry. His house was in the worst condition,

The sound of hammers striking and the roar of the cement mixer broke the morning silence in Evelyn's yard. The woman stood frozen at the kitchen doorway with her eyes wide in disbelief. Her plan for today was very simple. She had only called one professional builder and three assistants to repair the rotten roof and kitchen walls. Only four people. However, the sight before her was truly beyond reason. Her yard had now changed, like the site of a public demonstration. Dozens of residents came in groups, carrying their own hoes and shovels. "Come on Sir! Let me help carry the roof tiles!" shouted a neighbor who used to often forbid his child from playing with Kaelan. Evelyn knew very well the reason behind this sudden community work. The news that Kaelan had returned escorted by a luxurious car and carrying a silver suitcase filled with money had changed their hateful faces into flattering ones. However, among the hypocritical crowd, there was one person who was different. Mr. Be

Everyone who was busy working turned their attention toward Brad. Although they had already guessed that Brad's story must be full of lies, they still listened. Especially after Kaelan had received a suitcase full of money as a reward. Mr. Ben nodded repeatedly in belief. He was not surprised about the distribution of money, because news about a group of rich people handing out thick envelopes to local guides had already been widely heard at the market since morning. It turned out that the rumor was true, and the amount really made people shake their heads in disbelief. Satisfied with boasting while finishing his grilled meat, Brad hurriedly jumped down when he saw Kaelan come out of the side door. He wiped the sauce from his lips with the back of his hand and then stood straight with a comical respectful attitude. "Reporting, Boss!" Brad greeted with his cheeks still bulging full of meat. "The troops are safe, logistics are safe, and my stomach is safe too. Ready for orders!" "If

"This world truly does not lack stupid people. Ted, the ideal young man of Ashvale Village ... tonight I will tear off your mask so the villagers know how rotten your true face is." Kaelan whispered to the darkness. His eyes stared sharply at the figures sneaking in the distance. He took a black cloth of his. Deftly, he wrapped the cloth around his face. Kaelan tied it in the typical style of village children playing war games: covering the head, nose, and mouth, leaving only a pair of cold and deadly eyes. His appearance now resembled a shadow assassin figure in the darkness of the night. "I have to buy a proper face cover to hide my actions in the future," he muttered softly, realizing his appearance was slightly silly but functional. Kaelan closed his eyes for a moment. He immediately focused his mind on his spine. The heat residing there was no longer a foreign thing to him. With increasingly trained control, Kaelan took a deep breath and let the energy valve open slightly. H

Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged forward. The short sword in his hand swung vertically, aiming at Kaelan's head. It was a deadly attack from someone who was already used to hurting other people. Kaelan stared at the attack calmly. The Ancient God Bone energy that he had activated made his perception much sharper. When Ted swung his arm to slash Kaelan's head, Kaelan had already moved. Fast. Very fast. His left hand moved to brush Ted's wrist aside, deflecting the direction of the short sword. At the same second, Kaelan's right hand darted into Ted's open defense. His fingers clenched hard and struck a vital point. The armpit. BAANG!!! "AAAHHH!!" Ted screamed in pain until his voice pitched high. Kaelan targeted that point not without reason. The armpit bone is a fragile bone and becomes one of the fatal human weaknesses. In that area, the upper ribs are not protected by thick muscle. Therefore, when struck with internal energy, the bone is easily crushed and paraly

Kaelan sneaked back into the tent soundlessly. He made sure his mother's breath was still regular, indicating Evelyn was still fast asleep in a dream and did not realize that her son had just beaten five adults in the backyard. Under the dim moonlight that pierced the tent slit, Kaelan tore a piece of paper from his notebook. He took a pen, then wrote a short message with handwriting that was deliberately made rough so it could not be tracked. "There are five packages of community trash tied to the oak tree behind Mrs. Evelyn's tent. Take them before they wake up." After finishing writing, Kaelan looked for a weight. He found a pebble the size of a baby's fist in the corner of the tent. He wrapped the stone with his letter paper, then coated it with a black plastic bag and tied it tightly using a rubber band. The package now became a perfect projectile. "Done," Kaelan muttered. He did not waste time. His body moved again, darting out piercing the darkness of the night toward the
