CHAPTER 157: Justice Served
"I'm sorry," Samson whispered, reaching out with his uninjured hand. Using his thumb, he gently wiped the tears running down Rose's cheeks. "Don't cry because of me, Rose.""Why are you apologizing?" Rose asked softly."I'm sorry for making you cry and scaring you like that," he replied tenderly.The gentle touch of Samson's rough yet warm thumb against her cheek caused Rose's tears to spill over even more. Rather than subsiding, her tears flowed faster, wetting his fingers.The ice-cold woman who always wore a impassive mask now allowed her defenses to collapse completely in front of him."Don't ever do something like this again, Sam. Promise me you'll put your own safety first," Rose begged, placing her hand over Samson's as it rested on her cheek.Samson looked deep into Rose's swollen eyes. The wall he had spent so long building inside himself finally crumbled. He could no longer hide how he felt—not when seeing Rose looking so fragile before him."I promise, Rose," he answered wi
CHAPTER 156: Beyond Humanity
"Boss."Samson’s three subordinates stepped into the room. Samson was already sitting up on the hospital bed, his arm bound tight in a support bandage."You're all here. Then who's guarding the villa and the Roseland estate?" Samson asked, noticing that Bejo, Gopar, and Ucok were all present."We put trusted security personnel on duty there. A lot of our old crew members want to rejoin us," Ucok explained. "Teno—the guy you trusted—he’s in prison right now on framed drug trafficking charges.""Word is, ever since you disbanded the group back then, everyone’s just been aimlessly drifting," Gopar added. "That's why they were so moved and thrilled when we reached out to them again."Samson fell silent for a moment. "I can't exactly bring everyone in to work for Rose, can I?" he said softly."How are you feeling, Boss?" Bejo asked.The three of them stood gathered around Samson's bed."I'm fine," he replied calmly."I warned you, Boss. You were at your limit—you should have postponed the
CHAPTER 155: Turning the Tides
Nearly two hours bled away in a suffocating silence—an agonizing span of time that felt like an eternity to everyone waiting—until the soft hum of the operating room’s automatic doors finally broke the tension.The red sign reading SURGERY IN PROGRESS went dark, switching to a steady green.CLICK.Rose shot up from her seat instantly. Her fingers dug tightly into the blood-stained backpack in her grip as she hurried toward the doors.Gopar, Ucok, and Bejo surged forward in unison, holding their breath with pounding hearts as they stared at the figure in surgical scrubs stepping out into the corridor.Dr. Handoko pulled down his surgical mask, revealing a pale, exhausted face glistening with sweat. His scrubs were noticeably splattered with blood."Doctor! How is Samson?!" Rose asked, her voice trembling violently as she braced for the answer that would decide everything.Dr. Handoko let out a long, heavy exhale. He looked at Rose and the three men standing behind her, one by one, befo
CHAPTER 154: Standing Watch in the Shadows
"Please save him. I'm begging you, do whatever it takes!" Rose’s voice broke into desperate sobs.Her knees gave out beneath her, and she would have collapsed onto the icy corridor floor if Gopar and Bejo hadn't caught her in time.Inside the trauma bay, the high-pitched telemetry monitor began to beep in an erratic, harrowing pattern.Beep... beep......... beep..."Doctor! Systolic blood pressure dropped to 60! We have signs of cardiac tamponade from blood pooling in the pericardial sac!" a nurse shouted from inside."Prep the thoracotomy tray right now! We need to open the chest to evacuate the clots and clamp the bleeding vessel! Hurry!" Dr. Handoko ordered, his voice tight with pressure.The heavy doors of the emergency operating room slammed shut, and the illuminated red sign above clicked on: SURGERY IN PROGRESS.Rose leaned heavily against the wall, her chest heaving as she fought back wave after wave of hysteria. Her hands trembled violently as she wiped away the tears streami
CHAPTER 153: On the Brink of Death
"Damn it, Boss!" Ucok screamed, sprinting toward Samson’s collapsing form as the rest of the crew swarmed Hendrawan and the few guards left standing.Fresh, crimson blood oozed rapidly between Samson’s fingers as he tried to put pressure on the gaping hole in his left chest.A horrifying chill seeped into his veins, accompanied by a sharp, burning agony that seared through him from the inside out. For the first time in years, his supernatural defense had failed. Whatever poison or specialized dampener Shadow Viper had used, it had stripped away his physical invulnerability in an instant."Boss! Stay with me! Don't close your eyes!" Ucok yelled frantically, pressing down hard on the gunshot wound. His face turned deathly pale as he watched Samson’s shirt turn soaked and dark with blood.Across the alley, a brutal brawl erupted. Gopar and the veteran gang members went wild like hungry wolves.Seeing their legendary leader struck down by a coward's bullet, Gopar vaulted over a pile of gr
CHAPTER 152: Breaking the Siege
"So, you're the one named Samson?"The voice belonged to none other than Hendrawan himself.Samson remained rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on Hendrawan, who was still leveling the gun directly at him."Damn it, Sam. Get out of there—fast!" Romi urged frantically through the comms."Hand over everything in that bag," Hendrawan demanded. "Clara refused to spit out where that old bastard hid all his secrets. Turns out she sent you to do her dirty work instead." For weeks, Hendrawan had been turning his late father's study inside out, desperate to find the incriminating evidence the old man had stashed away.Samson pressed his earpiece, severing the connection with Romi. He knew his partner meant well despite the swearing, but he needed total focus right now."Give me the bag and put your hands up! Now!" Hendrawan barked, shoving the barrel closer to Samson’s forehead."Fine," Samson replied calmly. He unslung the tactical backpack, set it on the floor between them, and raised his han
