Erina continued watching him for a few more seconds.
Her gaze was sharp, as if trying to read something behind Fang Zhe’s calm expression. Then she slowly set down her teacup. “There’s an important meeting today.” Her tone returned to a professional one. “A business meeting regarding medicinal material trade with a long-time client of the Medicine Pavilion. The value is very large.” Fang Zhe stood straight. “I understand, Miss.” Erina rose from her seat. The heels of her shoes tapped against the marble floor in a steady rhythm. “You’ll come with me.” She walked past Fang Zhe, her soft perfume lingering in the air for a brief moment. “Your task is simple. Escort. Protect. Observe.” She paused briefly at the door. “And one more thing.” Fang Zhe lifted his gaze. “Don’t cause trouble with my clients.” Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a clear warning. “Some of them have… sensitive backgrounds.” Fang Zhe nodded immediately. Since becoming a servant of the Zhao family, he already knew a little about noble families who didn’t like leaving witnesses behind. His heart stirred again. “I won’t act without instruction,” he replied calmly. Erina looked at him for a moment. “You’re strong. That was already proven yesterday.” Her eyes narrowed slightly. “But the business world isn’t a street arena. Ego can destroy billion-dollar deals.” Fang Zhe lowered his head slightly. “I will only act if your safety is threatened.” For a brief second, the corner of Erina’s lips almost lifted. “Good.” * Not long after, following a short trip, the black car stopped in front of an exclusive meeting building inside a five-star hotel in Shange City. The glass doors opened automatically. Inside, a VIP room had been prepared. A long mahogany table. Dark marble walls. A modern chandelier casting a warm, elegant light. Three men were already seated, waiting. And in the middle of them… a young man in an expensive gray suit, his hair neatly combed, a faint confident smile on his lips. His gaze carried undisguised arrogance. “Young Master of the Brata Family…” Fang Zhe murmured inwardly, recalling the figure when he had once visited the Zhao family. He recognized that face. The Brata family was one of the wealthy noble families controlling the distribution routes of medicinal materials throughout the province. Erina walked in with steady steps. “Young Master Brata.” Her voice was calm. The young man stood, greeting her with a wider smile. “Miss Erina. As always… you are stunning.” His gaze swept over her shamelessly—from her face, slowly downward… all the way to the tip of her high heels. Fang Zhe stood one step behind, his expression neutral. But his eyes narrowed slightly. “Please, have a seat,” said Young Master Brata. The meeting began. The first few minutes were formal. They discussed the prices of rare medicinal materials, distribution quotas for consumers, and the benefits of long-term cooperation. But gradually, the direction of the conversation shifted. Young Master Brata leaned back in his chair. His smile turned more cunning. “To be honest… our family can double the quota.” Erina looked at him directly. “That’s good news.” “Of course.” He smiled faintly. “But every great profit… usually requires an equivalent return.” Fang Zhe could feel the atmosphere in the room change. Yet Erina’s face remained calm. “What kind of return do you mean?” Young Master Brata crossed his legs. “This deal can proceed… if Miss Erina is willing to accompany me tonight.” The room fell silent. The other two men chuckled softly, as if it were something normal. Their gazes were clear now. No longer about business—but something far more vulgar. Fang Zhe felt his blood boil. His hands almost clenched into fists. But he remembered Erina’s warning—not to cause trouble. Erina did not react with anger. She did not slap him. She did not raise her voice. She simply looked at him coldly—even though her hand clearly wanted to strike the young master’s face. “I came here for business, not entertainment.” Her voice was as cold as ice. Young Master Brata chuckled. “Ah, don’t be so rigid. The world runs on mutual benefit.” He stood, stepping slightly closer to the table. “With just one night… the Brata family will ensure the Medicine Pavilion stands at the peak of the northern market.” Fang Zhe could clearly see the man’s openly lustful gaze. Erina immediately stood up. “In that case, there’s no need to continue this deal.” Hearing that, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Young Master Brata’s lips. “No need to continue? Perhaps your Medicine Pavilion will collapse… after offending Young Master Paduka Ryan… Listen to me—if you agree, I might even eliminate that family with my power.” The words hung in the air—a threat disguised as an offer. Erina looked at Young Master Brata without blinking. Her expression remained calm, but her eyes turned icy. “The Medicine Pavilion stands because of quality and reputation,” she said slowly. “Not because of the protection of a man who equates cooperation with harassment.” The atmosphere grew heavier. Young Master Brata’s smile faded slightly. “You’re quite bold.” Erina picked up her bag. “Boldness is different from dignity.” She stepped back. “And my dignity is not up for negotiation.” Fang Zhe followed one step behind her. His heartbeat was steady—but his anger was close to exploding. As they nearly reached the door— Young Master Brata spoke again. “Erina.” Fang Zhe and Erina stopped at the same time. Not out of fear. But to make sure his final words were heard clearly. “An opportunity like this doesn’t come twice.” Erina did not turn around. “Neither does respect.” She walked out. The door closed. But the matter was far from over. The hotel’s VIP corridor was quiet. Thick carpets muffled their footsteps. But three large figures were already standing at the end of the hallway. Three men in black suits. Tall bodies. Broad shoulders. Cold gazes fixed on them. They began to move slowly. Blocking the path to the elevator. Fang Zhe immediately stepped half a step in front of Erina—his stance clearly protective. One of the men sneered. “Oh… just a small bodyguard.” His voice was heavy. “You think a nice suit makes you look dangerous?” The second man chuckled. “He looks like a magazine model. Not a fighter. What can he even do?” The third patted his own shoulder. “The boss just wants to talk again. Don’t make us drag you.” Erina stood firm. Not panicking. But this was clearly no longer just a conversation. Fang Zhe glanced at Erina, his calm gaze seeking silent permission. “Hey kid! Step aside, or—” Ignoring the threat, Fang Zhe let out a cold smirk. “Boss… may I take action?”Latest Chapter

The narrow alley fell silent once again.The dim streetlights illuminated the four unmoving bodies of the Zhao family men lying on the ground.Fang Zhe stood calmly.In front of him, Doctor Irma was still trying to steady her breathing.A few seconds later, she finally spoke softly.“Thank you…”Her voice was still slightly trembling, but her gaze remained sharp.She looked at Fang Zhe with curiosity.“If you hadn’t come… I might have already been taken by those Zhao men.”Fang Zhe simply shrugged lightly.“Just a coincidence.”Irma shook her head.“There’s no such thing as coincidence in a situation like this.”She glanced at the unconscious Zhao men, then looked back at Fang Zhe.“Besides… not everyone can take down four men like that in a few seconds.”Fang Zhe didn’t respond. He only asked briefly,“Is your house far?”Irma was slightly surprised by the question.“Not too far. Just a few blocks from here.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright.”He stepped past the bodies of the Zhao men.“I’

The figure of 500 points, still lingered vividly before Fang Zhe’s eyes. The system panel slowly faded… yet its final message continued echoing in his mind.Rescue Doctor Irma.Location: near the Medicine Pavilion.Fang Zhe stood silently in his room for a few seconds.Then, the corner of his lips slowly lifted.“Five hundred points…”That was no small amount.With that many points, he could directly purchase high-level medical knowledge from the system shop.And that meant…His abilities would surge dramatically.However, the moment he saw the name of the target he had to rescue…His eyes suddenly turned cold.Because a warning appeared within the system:‘Rescue Doctor Tirta from capture by the Zhao Family…’“Zhao…”He whispered the name slowly. The air in the room seemed to drop several degrees.'The Zhao Family.'That name was like a thorn lodged in his throat.Old memories filled with blood and betrayal surged into his mind. Fang Zhe’s gaze darkened.“What a coincidence…”He grab

A series of heavy impacts rang out almost simultaneously, as Fang Zhe’s hands moved like shadows.His palm struck the back of the first man’s neck with perfect precision.The man’s eyes rolled white instantly. His body went limp before collapsing to the ground.THUD!The second man didn’t even have time to react. He had just opened his mouth to shout—when Fang Zhe had already moved.One step forward. His hand shot out.PAK!Two fingers pressed directly against a nerve point on the man’s neck.The man’s eyes widened. His body trembled briefly.Then—BRUK!He collapsed unconscious beside his companion.The garden fell silent once more. Only the night wind rustled through the leaves.Fang Zhe stood between the two unconscious bodies.His expression remained flat, as if everything had already been decided from the start.He looked at them for a few seconds, then exhaled softly.“Too weak.”At that moment…A faint light appeared before his eyes as the transparent system panel activated aga

In a split second…Fang Zhe’s body vanished from where he stood. Not truly disappearing, but moving at a speed that surpassed human visual reaction.Both men’s eyes widened instantly.“What?!”But they didn’t even have time to turn their heads. A sharp gust of wind had already brushed past the first man’s face.WHOOSH!Fang Zhe had already appeared at his side. His movement was so light, almost soundless.The man only realized it when Fang Zhe’s shadow entered the corner of his vision.“Too fas—”PAK!A palm strike slammed into his wrist.The knife in his hand was instantly knocked away.CLANK!The metal blade spun in the air before falling onto the stone path.But Fang Zhe didn’t stop. His right elbow rose.PAAK!It struck directly beneath the man’s ribs.“UGH—!”The man’s breath was immediately knocked out of him. His body bent forward uncontrollably.But Fang Zhe had already moved again. His leg swept in a half-circle.BAM!The low kick slammed into the man’s knee.CRACK!His leg b

Fang Zhe continued to stare blankly at the transparent panel floating before his eyes.The “20%” text was still clearly displayed. He almost frowned.‘So… this system doesn’t just grant abilities… it also measures other people’s feelings?’The thought felt strange. Not long after, the panel slowly began to fade.Then it disappeared completely.“Fang Zhe?”Erina’s voice pulled him back to reality. He lifted his gaze.Now Erina was looking at him with a hint of confusion.“Why did you suddenly go silent?”Fang Zhe gave a faint smile.“Sorry.”He picked up his glass of water.“Just a little tired.”Erina tilted her head slightly, but she didn’t press further.“Then let’s call it a night.”She wiped her lips with a napkin.“We still have a morning meeting tomorrow.”Fang Zhe nodded.“Alright, Boss.”*A few minutes later.They went down from the rooftop restaurant and returned to the car.The city at night was still lively with vehicle lights and brightly lit skyscrapers.The black car mo

Young Master Brata stared at Fang Zhe for a few seconds. His gaze was filled with mixed emotions—anger, humiliation, and a fear he refused to admit.The corridor felt extremely silent. Even the strained breathing of his injured guards could be heard clearly.He also understood one thing very well.If the young man in front of him truly wanted to cause trouble… the situation here could become far worse.Brata clenched his jaw.His eyes briefly glanced at Erina, who stood calmly beside Fang Zhe. The woman showed no sign of panic. On the contrary… she appeared completely composed.As if everything was already under her control.That only made Brata more irritated.But his reason was still intact. He took a deep breath, then forced a faint smile that was clearly stiff.“Of course.”His voice sounded heavy.“A guest is still a guest.”He stepped half a step back from the doorway.“Please, go ahead.”Erina did not move immediately. She simply looked at Brata for a moment with an unreadable
