Chapter 97: Confrontation
Conversations nearby slowly faded as curious gazes shifted toward the confrontation forming near the entrance.Adam stared at Ryan with his forehead knitted so hard that even the students standing feet away could already predict trouble, and not even the music drifting through the grand hall did anything to soften the tension between them. Ryan could see it in Adam's eyes. He was watching him. Unlike the lower-ranked students who usually lowered their heads whenever he appeared, he remained still with no attempt to apologize for existing in the same space as him.Adam, who had spent years inside Iron Gate Academy building a reputation strong enough to make weaker students avoid eye contact due to fear, saw a tier three student standing before him with none of their usual experience, and that only irritated him more.“Ryan, you came!” a sudden cheerful voice interrupted before Adam could make any move. Both boys turned at the same time toward Ruby, who walked gracefully through the c
Chapter 96: The Hunt
Nikolai watched his expression frown. “And the watch? Where is it?” he asked.Marcus shrugged weakly. “I don’t have it either. I was just the driver.”A suffocating silence followed, making Nikolai lower his gaze toward the floor while a vein slowly pulsed along the side of his forehead. A wild laugh escapes his parted lips, none carrying any amusement. “Even after death, Thomas, your children continue to mock me,” he muttered softly. “Perhaps it’s time I sent them to you personally.”Marcus’ jaw tightened, and Nikolai forced the smile back. “Doctor,” he said, nodding toward Elena, and without another word, he turned and walked out.The men followed behind him immediately, their footsteps retreating down the corridor until silence slowly reclaimed the floor.Marcus released a slow breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. His gaze shifted toward Elena, and without uttering the word, she quietly pulled her phone from her coat pocket and handed it to him.Marcus looked at her. He didn’
Chapter 95: Awake
The sound of hurried footsteps roams through the long hospital corridor, enough to rattle the silence that had settled over the private wing during the early hours of the morning.Doors cracked open one after another as curious nurses and exhausted patients peeked out, searching for the source of the commotion. Inside one of the private rooms, the pale morning sunlight forced its way through the half-drawn curtains, pouring over the white sheets and sterile walls with an almost painful brightness.Marcus let out a groaned as his head felt unbearably heavy, as though someone had forced molten iron into his skull while he slept. The space between his brows tightened the moment the sunlight struck his eyes. He instinctively tried to turn away from it, but even that simple movement sent a sharp ache through his shoulders and ribs.A low beep echoed beside him, and Marcus slowly forced his eyes open.At first, the room appeared distorted and blurry, and the white ceiling above him spun be
Chapter 94: Ex Tier Hall
“That's Adrian. He’s been asking Odessa out for almost a year, and she rejects him every time.”Ryan sighed, mentally rolling his eyes.Adrian stepped closer. “Odessa doesn’t entertain random Tier Three students.”Ryan’s patience was already collapsing from the stolen watch. “I’m not here for whatever insecurity problem you have.”Several students gaped instantly, and Adrian’s expression darkened. “What did you say?”Ryan finally looked directly into his eyes. “I said move. "The confidence in his tone made everyone stare at him like a mad dog.Adrian grabbed Ryan by the collar, and the nearby student muttered.“This is about to get ugly.”"The boy is dead.”Ryan didn’t panic or flinch.Odessa’s training instantly kicked in as he was ready to defend himself. His eyes tracked Adrian’s balance, and his body prepared automatically. If Adrian swung first, Ryan already knew exactly where to strike back.“Enough!”The single word froze everyone instantly.Odessa stepped out from the building
Chapter 93: Alternative
Heavy silence suffocated the air, and Mr. Wilson stared at him blankly as if he had muttered something he couldn't comprehend. “Excuse me?” “The watch is worth sixty million,” Ryan repeated. The instructor slowly sat back down before raising his head to stare at Ryan again. “You’re telling me that you brought a sixty-million-dollar watch into a student dormitory?” Ryan looked away as several thoughts roamed through his mind. “It wasn’t supposed to stay there.” Mr. Wilson rubbed both hands across his face. “Ryan—” “You don’t understand,” he interrupted. “No,” Mr. Wilson interrupted. “I definitely don’t.” Ryan’s frustration rose again. “I need it back, and you think I don’t understand that, and you’re treating it like jewelry!” “Because it is $60,000,000 in jewelry!” Ryan nearly snapped. “It’s more than that.” Mr. Wilson narrowed his eyes carefully, now his curiosity making his entire features. “What exactly are you not telling me?” Ryan stayed silent because he couldn’t expl
Chapter 92: Unseen Problem
The faint amusement disappeared from Ruby’s expression. “That gathering is where candidates register for the upcoming academy competition.”Ryan paused at the revelation, and Ruby noticed his attention. She continued. “The council representatives attend personally,” she continued. “Future sponsors attend, investors attend, political figures attend, and students who want recognition attend.”Ryan looked back at the invitation quietly and then sighed heavily. “So this is another political event.”“It’s Iron Gate,” Ruby replied calmly. “Everything here is political.”He hated that she was right. He hated wealthy gatherings and fake smiles.But Odessa’s words returned.You need visibility.Ryan rubbed his forehead tiredly. “Do I have a choice?”“No.”He stared at the invitation again. “Fine,” he finally muttered.The reaction behind him was immediate, and the student started whispering louder than before.“He accepted it?”“Ruby personally invited him?”“What exactly is going on?”Some gi
