Cynthia stared at the phone screen with her mouth hanging wide open, her eyes widened without blinking. She even slapped her own cheek to make sure she wasn't dreaming. On the screen, a string of numbers was clearly displayed: 200,000,000.

“W-W-What is this? Is this real?” she stammered, turning toward her brother. “Brother! This is 200 million! Is there some kind of mistake?!” She rubbed her eyes until they became slightly red.

Jonathan calmly sipped his tea, as if what he had just transferred

    Finally, with heavy breathing and a trembling voice, the assassin spoke."I... I only... received the job through the dark web... The payment was transferred... two billion...""Who was it?""I don't know his real name," he said, almost in tears. "But... he said his surname was Sigoro."The moment the name left his mouth, Jonathan's eyes narrowed sharply. A murderous aura slowly radiated from his body, causing the air around him to seem as though it were trembling."Sigoro again..." he whispered, his voice filled with restrained anger. "It seems they truly don't understand the meaning of the word warning."After making sure the assassin could no longer move because both of his arms were broken, his bones crushed, and the pain had nearly rendered him unconscious, Jonathan stood calmly.The night wind blew gently. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number."Dina," he said in a flat but clear voice. "I just captured an assassin. He's still alive, but he won't last long if he's le

    That night, the sky was pitch-black without a single star in sight, with only a pale moon hanging dimly behind the clouds. In the simple room illuminated only by the soft glow of a desk lamp, Jonathan sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, his breathing steady and calm. The ticking of the clock on the wall was the only sound breaking through the silence of the night. Ever since returning home, it had become Jonathan's habit to cultivate every night, regulating his breathing and inner energy to keep it stable. To him, this practice was not merely a routine, but a part of the discipline his master had passed down to him many years ago. However, tonight felt slightly different. The moment his mind began to settle, he suddenly sensed a faint wave of energy from his surroundings. The airflow that should have been moving gently suddenly became sharp, as if something had sliced through his consciousness. His heart beat slowly but heavily. In a fraction of a second, his survival instincts

    "He made tens of billions today," Kara replied calmly."Tens of billions?!" Harson nearly choked. "Who is he? An old collector? Or an investor from overseas? Tell me everything in detail."Kara shook her head. "No. His name is Jonathan."Harson's expression instantly changed. His eyebrows rose high, and his breathing momentarily stopped. "Jonathan? I've never heard that name before.""You'll be even more surprised when you hear that he came wearing nothing but a security guard uniform.""What? A security guard?" Harson lightly slapped the table, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's insane! How could a security guard make that much money? Was he just lucky?"Kara sighed. "It wasn't luck, Dad. He really knew what he was doing. Jonathan bid on those stones without the slightest hesitation, as if he could already see what was inside them. Everyone at the auction fell silent when the jade was cut open.""It seems even you underestimated him, Dad. That man didn't even care about billions

    Marina looked extremely happy at that moment. Her eyes sparkled every time she looked at her son.From time to time, she chuckled softly, enjoying this simple moment with her small family, who had not had a meal together like this in a long time.However, the warm atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by the sound of light yet firm footsteps. From the entrance of the restaurant, a woman in a police uniform walked in gracefully. Dina smiled, her beautiful yet stern face radiating the authority of an officer. She carried a bottle of red wine that looked aged and elegant, a special collection belonging to her grandmother."Excuse me," she said with a gentle smile. "I heard that Mr. Jonathan's family was having a meal together, so I brought something."Marina and Cynthia exchanged glances, slightly surprised and impressed. Jonathan stood up to greet her, smiling warmly, although deep down he had already guessed that the hotel manager must have informed her."Dina," Jonathan greeted casually

    The red Porsche stopped right in front of Palagara Hotel, a magnificent building towering over the center of Vaganza City. The hotel lobby glittered beneath the crystal chandeliers hanging high above, while the pleasant fragrance of lilies filled the air.His mother, Marina, looked around with wide eyes in amazement. "Goodness, Jonathan... this is the best five-star hotel in the city, right? Are you sure we can afford to eat here?"Jonathan simply smiled and gently patted his mother's shoulder. "Relax, Mom. We're only here to eat, not buy the hotel."As soon as they stepped inside, a manager in a black suit and golden tie immediately approached them with great respect. He had recognized from a distance that the security guard in uniform was Mr. Jonathan, the special guest of Madam Wivarda. He hurried over enthusiastically and greeted him, "Good afternoon, Mr. Jonathan. I will escort you to the VIP room on the top floor. Please come this way."Several guests in the lobby immediately gl

    Kara stood frozen in the middle of the empty hall, still unable to believe what had happened. She pinched her thigh hard and winced when the pain hit her. It was real, reminding her that everything happening before her was not a dream.Yet behind her shock and happiness, one name kept circling through her mind, drowning out the voices of the employees who were still busy reporting the day's results.Jonathan's name continued to echo in her ears, as though it were reverberating throughout the entire empty hall.She slowly walked toward the table where Jonathan's first stone had been placed. She stared blankly at the table before letting out a long sigh. "If it weren't for him… none of this would have happened," she murmured.Jonathan left the auction area with relaxed steps and headed toward the parking lot. A shiny red Porsche was already waiting for him there. He opened the door, started the engine, and the smooth roar of the supercar immediately attracted the attention of the people
