In front of the company's entrance, a large crowd of employees had gathered, and it continued to grow by the second. Whispers and muffled gasps filled the air, making Mella's already sour expression grow even darker. Fortunately, the person carrying her ID card arrived just in time, preventing the awkward situation from dragging on any longer.
Even though the matter was resolved, one name had already been etched into the minds of the employees: Jonathan, the new security guard who had dared to stand up to the President Director herself. Many began asking one another, "Who exactly is he? Why is he so fearless?" "Well? Are you satisfied now? Open your eyes and take a good look," Mella said. Jonathan smiled before stepping aside to let her pass. Watching Mella snort in annoyance as she walked away, he felt rather satisfied. Mella returned to her office. Her gaze was icy, her steps quick, and in her heart she had already decided to sign Jonathan's dismissal letter. That stubborn man had gone too far. Felinia tried to ease the tension. "Actually, he wasn't wrong, Mel. Don't hold on to your anger like that. He was simply enforcing the company's rules." She paused for a moment before flashing a mischievous grin. "Besides, he's handsome enough to be the decoration at the company's front entrance." Mella shot her a sharp glare, but Felinia only struggled to suppress her laughter, clearly enjoying making her boss's mood even worse. Before Mella could respond, her phone rang. Anastasya's name appeared on the screen. With a cold expression, Mella answered. "What is it?" she asked curtly, her mood still far from improving. Anastasya's voice was unusually lively, sounding as though she were holding back laughter. "Mel, look downstairs. The show is starting again." Mella frowned immediately. She walked toward the large office window and looked down. The scene before her was almost unbelievable. Right in front of the company's entrance, dozens of red roses had been arranged into a giant heart. Two burly men stood proudly on either side, each holding one end of a large white banner that read: "Mella, I Love You!" The crowd of employees grew even louder. Some struggled to hold back their laughter, while others eagerly recorded the spectacle on their phones. Not far away, a bright red Ferrari sports car came to a dramatic stop. A young man stepped out. His face was shiny with excessive grooming, his hair slicked back until it gleamed under the sunlight. Standing confidently in front of the car, he looked up toward the office window where Mella stood. "Who is he, Mel?" Felinia asked curiously. Mella introduced him with obvious irritation. "That's Victor Sigoro, the second son of the Sigoro Family. A playboy who's been harassing me like an annoying fly for more than half a year." Felinia raised an eyebrow. "Victor Sigoro?" she murmured. Picking up a pair of binoculars from the desk, she focused on the smug-looking young man surrounded by bodyguards. "Hmm... so this is one of the Four Great Families of Vaganza City. He really acts like someone who's always gotten everything he wants." Meanwhile, Mella clenched her teeth in annoyance every time she looked at Victor's face. An evil idea suddenly crossed her mind. "What if I let Jonathan drive them away?" She knew Victor's bodyguards were no ordinary men. Many of them were highly trained martial artists. If a fight broke out, it would surely be entertaining, and Mella wanted nothing more than to see that arrogant man humiliated. "Felinia," she said meaningfully, "what if I tell Jonathan to handle this? Let them all have a taste of that little rascal's fists." Felinia immediately turned toward her, curiosity shining in her eyes. A playful smile spread across her face as she clapped once excitedly. "I agree! I want to see for myself just how capable Jonathan really is. It'll be interesting if those bodyguards dare to make a move." Downstairs, Jonathan stood calmly, quietly observing the crowd gathered around Victor. Bernad stepped closer and lowered his voice, as though afraid someone else might overhear. "Jonathan," he said seriously, "you should know that Victor Sigoro is no ordinary man. Throughout Vaganza City, he's infamous as a shameless womanizer. Countless decent women have had their lives ruined because of him. Ever since he met President Director Mella, he's become even crazier. Every few days, he comes here just to confess his love. Can you imagine how embarrassing that is?" "And that's not all. His bodyguards aren't pushovers either. Every single one of them is a seasoned fighter trained through years of harsh discipline. Even Captain Amerdo himself, a respected figure among the city's security forces, isn't a match for them." Captain Alex arrived with firm strides, his expression serious. Stopping directly in front of Jonathan, he spoke in an official tone. "Jonathan, this is President Director Mella's order. You are to drive those people away immediately." Hearing that, Jonathan looked at Alex for a long moment before curling his lips into a faint smile. He immediately understood the game being played. Borrowing someone else's knife to kill. It was obvious that President Director Mella wanted Victor's people to be the ones who injured him, giving her the perfect excuse to get rid of him. But Jonathan wasn't that foolish. He wouldn't allow that knife to stab him. Instead... He would snap it in half. Jonathan walked toward the group of men busily arranging the red roses. They carefully placed each flower petal into an enormous heart-shaped display. It looked luxurious, but also ridiculously flashy. When he reached them, Jonathan stood tall. His broad shoulders radiated authority, while his sharp eyes pierced through the group like blades. "Hey, you lot!" he barked suddenly, causing every bodyguard to freeze for a brief moment. He waved dismissively toward the flower arrangement. "That thing you've put together," he continued coldly, "looks more like a funeral wreath than a confession of love. It doesn't belong in front of this company—it belongs in a cemetery!" Before the bodyguards could even react, Victor Sigoro himself stepped forward. His movements were light and confident, as though eager to display his superiority before everyone present. Standing face-to-face with Jonathan, his expression stiffened, though his arrogant smile remained. "You!" he shouted demandingly. "Who the hell are you to interfere in my business?" His eyes swept over Jonathan's uniform, finally realizing that he was merely a security guard. Jonathan remained perfectly calm. Without saying a word, he casually raised the cigarette between his fingers and took a slow, deep drag. Then, deliberately, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke straight into Victor's face. Victor instinctively waved his hand in irritation as the smoke obscured his vision. Through the drifting smoke came Jonathan's icy, contemptuous voice. "Who I am doesn't matter. But with just one glance, I can already tell what you are." He smiled mockingly. "A hideous toad dreaming of eating swan meat." Then his voice grew even colder, every word stabbing straight into Victor's pride. "If you still have even a shred of dignity left, get lost now. Otherwise, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson in front of everyone here." Those words pierced Victor's heart like a knife, sending his anger soaring. Victor exploded with rage and threw a punch. Whoosh! Bang! With a single kick, Jonathan sent Victor flying seven or eight meters through the air. His body crashed violently onto the ground, knocking the breath out of him. The moment Victor struggled to get back up... A large flower pot came flying toward him. Thud! It smashed directly into his head, causing him to stagger. Jonathan didn't stop there. He became like a raging storm, using everything around him as a weapon. One flower pot after another was kicked through the air, smashing into anything along its path. The sounds of shattering clay echoed everywhere as flowers scattered across the ground, and even the giant banner collapsed with a loud crash. Victor's face turned green with fury. The veins on his neck bulged violently, and his eyes widened as though he wanted to devour Jonathan alive. With an enraged roar that echoed throughout the courtyard, he pointed directly at Jonathan. "Kill that damn security guard! Tear him apart! Don't let him leave here alive!"Latest Chapter
Ch 18
Now Jonathan was no longer looking only at the elderly woman's face. He could also see the threads of fate flowing around her body. A dense golden radiance surrounded her, a sign of immense fortune coupled with an equally great burden that had remained with her throughout her life. The elderly woman gazed at Jonathan for a long moment, as if trying to determine the true extent of the young man's abilities. Then, in a hoarse yet steady voice, she said, "In that case, don't tell me about my future yet. Prove yourself by revealing my past instead. Tell me who I am and what I have been through." The crowd immediately erupted into murmurs. "Whoa, that's a difficult request..." "If he gets it wrong, Jonathan is finished." "This is a real test." Patrick, who stood beside the elderly woman, folded his arms across his chest. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Jonathan, clearly prepared to intervene if the young man said anything inappropriate. Jonathan took a deep breath. This was exactl
Ch 17
In truth, the elderly woman lived not far from the town square. Every weekend, she would come there for a leisurely walk, enjoying the lively atmosphere while breathing in the fresh air beneath the banyan tree. She had actually been standing among the crowd for quite some time, quietly observing Jonathan from a distance. After seeing several of his predictions come true, her curiosity was piqued. In the end, she decided to step forward and personally test the abilities of this young fortune teller.As soon as she sat down on the small chair prepared for her, the middle-aged man behind her, Patrick, her personal bodyguard and most trusted confidant, immediately stepped forward to support her respectfully. His expression remained vigilant, as though he would not allow even the slightest threat to come near her.Jonathan felt his blood pumping with excitement. Confidently, he removed the black sunglasses that had been covering his eyes the whole time. The crowd was instantly astonished.
Ch 16
Because two consecutive fortunes came true almost immediately, Jonathan's reputation soared. More and more people gathered around him, and in just over an hour, he had already served more than a dozen customers. Every prediction was accurate, but the customers only gave small voluntary tips. Although his hat was gradually filling up, the money he had collected was still far from the amount he wanted.Jonathan grew dejected, wondering when he would ever reach his target. He silently calculated in his mind. "At this rate, even if I stay here until tonight, I'll only earn a little more. How am I supposed to reach ten thousand dollars? These people have it easy. My predictions are spot-on, yet they only give me two-dollar tips. But when they visit those fake fortune tellers, they're willing to pay tens of thousands." He grumbled in frustration. How could he be valued less than those fraudulent, lecherous fortune tellers?He glanced at his hat, now filled with stacks of bills. The crowd ar

On that bright Saturday morning, the town square was bustling with activity. Street vendors lined the sidewalks, children ran around laughing, and elderly people sat leisurely chatting with one another. Beneath the third banyan tree, a new sight caught everyone's attention: a simple stall with a small table covered by a black cloth. Behind it stood a wooden sign with bold words painted across it:"Face Reading and Fortune Telling. If I'm Wrong, It's Free!"Jonathan sat confidently behind the table. His hair was slicked back with pomade, a pair of dark sunglasses gave him an air of mystery, and an old hat rested on the table to collect payments. Bernad stood a short distance away with his arms crossed, watching curiously to see whether his friend's "side business" would actually attract customers.Less than twenty minutes later, a young woman approached with a panicked expression. She was breathing heavily, her hands tightly clutching the shoulder bag she carried."Sir, please tell my
Ch 14
Jonathan smiled faintly before raising his hand and pointing at Bernad's palm."I can read palm lines, calculate a person's fate, and sometimes I use small divination tools. I'm not as skilled as those famous fortune tellers, but it's enough to make people curious. I figured that instead of wasting my break time, I might as well use it to earn some extra money. To be honest, our salary is just too low."Bernad stared at him in disbelief. His face was filled with shock as he asked seriously,"My goodness! This is the first time I've heard you have such a strange ability. So, you're planning to open a fortune-telling stall?""Yes," Jonathan answered firmly. "I've noticed that on the dirt road west of the company, a few old men often set up fortune-telling stalls. Maybe I can join them there."Bernad immediately shook his head."Don't, Jo. That place is too quiet. The only people passing by are street vendors pushing carts or workers rushing home. If you sit there, you'll probably fall a
Ch 13
Leaving the President Director's office, Jonathan's steps felt heavy, but his expression had become much calmer. The anger that had flared up earlier had subsided by half. Deep down, he understood that although Mella had never shown a friendly face, her scolding and warning were not entirely driven by ill intent. There had been genuine concern hidden beneath her harsh words.Even so, Jonathan did not think much of the Sigoro Family. To him, they were nothing more than pebbles scattered along his long road. There were far more important matters than wasting his time thinking about the grudge of a spoiled rich man like Victor.At the moment, two problems weighed heavily on his mind. First, he needed to gather enough money to redeem his confiscated ID card, an essential requirement to get his administrative affairs back on track. Second, and far more urgent, he had to find his parents. They had been separated for far too long, and he no longer wanted to delay their reunion.Jonathan stop
