Oscar slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile resting on his lips.“When arrogant people challenge the laws of nature,” he said calmly, “they deserve whatever consequences follow.”Bondam, exhausted and covered in wounds, glared at Oscar with burning red eyes.“This… isn’t over!” he growled. “I’ll get my revenge!”Oscar gave a slow nod.“You’re welcome to try,” he replied coldly. “But remember this… every move you make will be watched by me.”“Never let arrogance convince you that you stand above everyone else.”Abidam stared at his devastated troops and injured son.Panic and hatred twisted violently inside him.“That brat must die!” he screamed hysterically. “He must die! All of you must die!”In the next instant, the surviving forces disappeared into the darkness before dawn.Oscar narrowed his eyes and smirked faintly.“They still dare to threaten me?” he murmured. “Fine. Then let them see what happens next.”---Before sunrise, Bondam and Abidam finally returned to their headquarte

Bondam stared at his father, his face pale from pain and panic.“Father… we have to leave. Right now!”Abidam swallowed hard.His body was covered in wounds, and rage still burned fiercely in his eyes. But he understood the situation perfectly.If Oscar attacked them one more time—They would die.That could not happen.Right now, escaping was the only option.They had to abandon their headquarters and leave behind their luxurious estate.They needed a temporary hiding place where they could recover and eventually find a way to destroy Oscar.The hatred inside Abidam had already rooted itself too deeply.Even if revenge cost him his life—He would still pursue it to the very end.“Yes…” Abidam muttered weakly.“We’ll leave.”“But believe me…”“That boy…”“One day, he will die.”---Far away at Panglima Danur’s estate, Oscar reappeared quietly on the balcony.His eyes narrowed as he looked toward the distant direction of Abidam’s ruined headquarters.“Hopefully this was enough to teach

Oscar’s invitation to the gala had nothing to do with wealth.It was because of his reputation.The entire city had already begun talking about his courage.Oscar stared at the invitation for a moment, his expression tightening slightly.“Too crowded,” he muttered.“What’s that?” Ellizabeth asked as she walked into the room.“An invitation,” Oscar replied calmly.“I’m just surprised they sent something like this directly to me.”He still found it strange.Events like this were usually reserved for the city’s wealthiest and most influential figures.People like Abidam.The moment Abidam’s name crossed his mind, Oscar paused slightly.Ellizabeth took the invitation and examined it carefully.Her brows furrowed for a second before realization hit her.“This isn’t an ordinary invitation, Oscar,” she said seriously. “This is extremely exclusive.”“You can’t refuse it.”“It’s not easy to get invited to this gala.”As the daughter of a high-ranking military commander, Ellizabeth had heard ab

Silence filled the air once again.Clarissa froze for a moment.Her eyes shifted uncertainly, hesitation still flickering across her face.She was afraid.Terrified, even.But after a few seconds, she looked back at Oscar firmly.“Alright,” Clarissa said firmly.“I trust you.”Oscar wasted no more time.He immediately turned back and examined Mr. Arlo without asking permission again.This time, Rehan remained silent.Clarissa had already agreed.As Mr. Arlo’s daughter, the final decision belonged to her. And even though Rehan was Marisya’s boyfriend, he could no longer object.Oscar slowly placed his index and middle fingers against the side of Mr. Arlo’s neck.Then his fingers moved toward the older man’s back, carefully sensing something beneath the surface.“Get me Yun Pai mushrooms, Black Dragon leaves, Green Ginseng root, and Southern Turtle Moss immediately.”“Huh?!”Everyone stared at him in shock and confusion.The atmosphere instantly became tense.Oscar carefully sat Mr. Arl

“That’s different.”“Your voice…” he said teasingly, “is the only weapon capable of piercing my heart.”Ellizabeth stared at him suspiciously.“Since when did you become so smooth with your words?”“You’re always suspicious of me,” Oscar laughed.“Anyway, the person who called was the daughter of the man I helped at the gala.”“She already found all the herbal ingredients I needed and wants to deliver them herself.”Ellizabeth tilted her head slightly.“Only what?” she asked curiously.“I don’t know where to have the delivery sent,” Oscar said thoughtfully.“I can’t let them bring it directly here. I don’t want anything putting you or your uncle in danger.”“And sending it to my apartment isn’t possible either. I don’t want anyone knowing where I live.”“Then have it delivered to the restaurant,” Ellizabeth replied casually without even thinking.“That place belongs to you too.”Oscar immediately fell silent.This woman trusted him far too much.More than trust, actually—She already
