I'm Invincible In The World

Chapter 05

Winny immediately ran after Jonathan, catching up to him in the villa's courtyard. Fortunately, Jonathan hadn't gone far. "Wait!" she shouted, taking a deep breath. The rushed chase made her chest heave, rising and falling like fruit on a tree swaying in the wind.

In her hand was a bank card. She said, "There's 200 million inside. This isn't a reward, it's a thank you for being willing to come here. I also apologize for my father's treatment of you."

Jonathan raised his eyebrows, "I haven't done anything. This is completely unnecessary."

"But—" Winny still wanted to say a few more words, but was immediately cut off by Jonathan.

"If I accept this, it's not charity. It's a transaction," he looked deeply at Winny. "And I don't sell my services if they're not needed. But remember this well, if Tabib Saputro's treatment method continues to be used, your grandfather will most likely not survive today."

"What do you mean?" Winny was stunned by Jonathan's words. She didn't want to believe it, but she had seen with her own eyes that Jonathan had once saved someone from death. If anyone else had said that, she would have scolded them.

"Goodbye." After saying this, Jonathan left the place.

Winny was filled with guilt towards Jonathan, while also plagued by worry about her grandfather's condition.

When she returned to the room, her grandfather had actually regained consciousness. Lius hugged his father while holding back tears.

Lius looked at Tabib Saputro and said softly, "Thank you, Tabib! You truly are the savior deity of our family. I have ordered the servants to prepare a feast for this success."

"This is a blessing from the gods that allowed me to succeed like this. I am grateful for your family, Lius." Tabib Saputro could finally feel relieved after seeing his patient recover. That was the most gratifying thing for a physician.

However, before the food could be served, the old man suddenly jerked. His whole body trembled, his face began to turn blue, his eyes widened, and his breathing stopped.

Everyone present was shocked.

"Father!!" Lius's scream broke the ensuing silence. Then he stared at Tabib Saputro and shouted, "Do something!" His eyes bulged, the earlier hint of happiness instantly shattered.

Tabib Saputro panicked, his hands trembling, the needle in his hand falling onto the marble floor.

Ting! It sounded like a chime of death that made him shiver.

He had exerted all his ability, but the patient's condition had worsened instead. It proved that his previous acupuncture method was mistaken.

"Impossible. This should have worked." His steps slowly retreated, afraid that something bad would happen. Not only would his reputation be destroyed, but he could also die at the hands of Lius.

Winny froze. Then she remembered Jonathan's words from earlier. "Father, Jonathan warned earlier that if Tabib Saputro insists on his method, then Grandfather will die today!"

Lius was startled, and without further thought, he gave an order with a shout. "Find him quickly. Find that young man, by any means necessary. If my father dies, your heads will roll too."

Tabib Saputro held his neck. "If I had known this would threaten a life, I wouldn't have done it. I hope they manage to find that young man," he muttered to himself in distress.

In an instant, many people across Pegasus City began searching for a mysterious young man, causing a great commotion. Since the Caresta family was a very wealthy yet relatively private family, this incident became the focus of attention for many parties.

On the other hand, far from the chaos. The atmosphere at the residence of the second-tier Buana family seemed calm.

In the tidy and elegant study, Roselin Buana sat upright in front of an old man.

"This quarter's performance increased by ten percent, Grandfather!" reported Roselin, her voice full of confidence.

Yorgi Buana looked very satisfied. "You are truly the treasure of this family, Lin."

Roselin was the most talented grandchild. With her help managing the family business, Yorgi's burden was much lighter.

None of Roselin's uncles were reliable, so the future of the Buana family heavily depended on her.

Roselin was very confident. Although still young, she was already a company director and her name was widely known in Pegasus City. Many men queued to pursue her; her life was very glorious.

Not long after, the door to the room was knocked.

Tok!

Tok!

"It's me, Sir."

Yorgi recognized the voice and said, "Come in and tell me what's the matter?" His gaze was sharp like a knife that could stab at any time.

The head servant entered, bowed, and conveyed something that surprised both of them. "Sir, Young Miss, there is someone at the front gate claiming to be the son-in-law of the Buana family and wishes to meet."

Roselin frowned and immediately said, "Head servant, just chase that fool away. I don't even have a boyfriend. How could someone claim such a thing."

But Yorgi stopped the head servant and asked, "What does he look like?"

"He's thin, his clothes are shabby, he looks like a beggar," the head servant answered promptly.

Yorgi asked again, "Did the man mention who sent him?"

The head servant nodded, then explained, "Yes, Sir. He said his master ordered him to come down from the mountain to fulfill a betrothal promise and marry the daughter of the Buana family."

Hearing that, Yorgi sighed and said, "So he really came…"

Roselin raised her eyebrows again, "Who are you referring to, Grandfather?"

"You don't know, because you were very young then. The Buana family was once in difficulty, leading to bankruptcy. But a mysterious expert helped us survive. As a form of repayment, I betrothed you to his disciple."

But Roselin herself didn't care. "Grandpa, in this day and age, who still cares about childhood betrothals? Besides, there are many men pursuing me, so it's impossible for me to want to marry a stranger."

But Yorgi's perspective was different. He knew that the man who came was the disciple of the person who had once saved their family, and because of that, this betrothal couldn't be casually canceled.

Finally, the two of them went to the front gate and saw Jonathan, who had been waiting for a long time, carrying some local specialties from the mountain.

"Greetings," said Jonathan with a slight bow. "My name is Jonathan Winaldy. I have come to fulfill the betrothal agreement."

Roselin was shocked to see Jonathan's shabby and poor appearance.

Unlike Roselin, Yorgi directly welcomed him warmly, "You've grown up, I see." He smiled, then shifted the conversation. "How is your Master?"

"The Master is fine, still alive and still stingy," Jonathan answered lightly.

Roselin couldn't hold back, turning her face away in disgust. She spoke in a scornful tone, "Don't tell me I really have to marry a creature like this."

The atmosphere immediately fell silent.

"Shabby, poor, can't even dress properly. This is worse than a scavenger! I'd rather die than marry him."

Yorgi immediately scolded his granddaughter, "Roselin, watch your words!"

"Why should I?!" Roselin retorted sharply, "I am the CEO of a large company, I graduated from the best university! There are dozens of men from wealthy families pursuing me! And you want me to marry this mountain trash?" Roselin was furious, her face flushed red.

Jonathan looked at her, not offended, just silent. Then he smiled.

"In that case, may I know the price of the Buana family's honor? Because what you're insulting isn't just me, but the promise made by your own grandfather."

Yorgi immediately spoke, "Calm down, Jonathan. We don't intend to insult. But, perhaps it is indeed time to discuss the betrothal again."

"Oh," Jonathan folded his hands, laughed coldly, then asked: "What does the Buana family mean? Want to cancel the agreement?"

Yorgi raised his chin with an arrogant tone, then took a step forward, his voice calm yet piercing. "The Buana family now is not what it used to be. We are a major family with a high status in Pegasus City. Canceling a betrothal is not a crime. I still respect you for your master's past services. But if you don't know your place..."
