Ch 175
Everyone around them immediately turned their eyes toward Jonathan. Some of the staff whispered among themselves, while others chuckled as if they could not believe what they were hearing.Jonathan glanced at the newspaper once before looking at Felinia without expression. "The news is greatly exaggerated.""Exaggerated?" Felinia exclaimed. "The headline alone is enough to give me a headache! Two hundred billion, Jo! That's not two hundred million!"Jonathan casually shrugged. "Actually, it's less than that. Only around one hundred and sixty billion."Silence.The room suddenly fell quiet for several seconds. Mella even covered her mouth with her hand, unsure whether she had heard correctly."One hundred... sixty billion?" Mella murmured softly. "That's almost half of the company's profit for six months, Jo! And you earned it in a single day?"Several employees nearby immediately stared at Jonathan with their mouths hanging open, looking at him as if they had just discovered a walking

After leaving the cafe, Jonathan took a deep breath and looked at the crimson evening sky before starting to run around Vaganza City. Every step felt heavy, as if the anger building inside his chest was pressing down on his entire body. His breathing grew faster, but not because he was tired. It was because the flames of revenge inside him were on the verge of exploding."If this weren't my own country..." he muttered softly as he stared at the quiet streets. "If I were overseas, I would have already stormed that prison and made sure they regretted ever touching my family."The image of his father behind bars made Jonathan's chest tighten even more. Yet amid the turmoil, his master's voice echoed in his mind once again."Train your mind. A strong body without a clear mind is nothing more than a weapon without direction."Jonathan stopped at the edge of a city park and stared at the fountain reflecting the glow of the streetlights. He clenched his fists."All right, Master. I'll restra

Jonathan smiled as he stood up and picked up his jacket. "Of course. If I can't help with my hands, I'll help with my head. But if neither is enough... well, I still have other ways."Dina let out a long sigh. "Whatever you say, just don't cause any new trouble."Tania closed her folder, her tone becoming professional again. "All right. I'll start handling your father's case tomorrow. I'll begin with the old files, the testimony of the main witness, and the records from the initial investigation. After that, we'll determine our next step."Jonathan lowered his head slightly in respect. "Thank you, Ms. Tania. I really appreciate it. If there's anything I can help with, don't hesitate to contact me."Tania nodded and gave him a brief smile. "I'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."Jonathan looked at Dina for a moment, his eyes gentle. "You too, Din. Thank you for helping me this far."Dina pretended to be indifferent as she picked up her bag. "Just make sure I don't regret h

Jonathan took a moment to catch his breath before placing two thick envelopes on the table. "There are two hundred million inside," he said. "Take them. Use them for whatever is necessary: forensic experts, witnesses, document copies, access to records. Use them wisely."Dina stared at the envelopes with her mouth slightly open. "Two hundred million..." she murmured, her voice unable to hide her shock. Tania, who had been trying to remain professional from the beginning, looked at Jonathan hesitantly before slowly taking the envelopes and inspecting them without fully opening them."Mr. Jonathan... this is a very large amount," Tania finally said, her voice controlled but clearly showing concern. "Professionally speaking, I am not comfortable accepting money without clear details about its intended use and without following proper procedures. A case like this normally would not require such a large amount, and I do not want it to appear that we are funding anything illegal."Jonathan

Dina scoffed softly, though her cheeks turned slightly red. "You never run out of ways to tease me, do you?""I'm not teasing you," Jonathan said calmly. "I just want to."Jonathan continued teasing Dina, making her feel both annoyed and happy at the same time.Not long afterward, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard. A professionally dressed woman entered the café with a folder in her hand.She was Tania Handoyo.Her hair was neatly tied into a bun, and her face radiated the firmness of an experienced legal professional. Dina immediately stood up and waved."Tania! Over here!" she called.The woman smiled briefly and walked over. "Hi, Dina. Sorry I'm a little late. I had some business at the office.""It's all right," Dina replied as she introduced them. "This is Jonathan, the person I told you about earlier. Jo, this is Tania Handoyo, my friend and the lawyer I trust the most."Jonathan stood politely and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Tania," he s

At Rosian Café that evening, the atmosphere was warm and peaceful, filled with the aroma of coffee and soft music playing from the speakers in the corner of the room. Dina had just ended her phone call before looking at Jonathan, who was sitting across from her with a calm yet attentive expression."So, the lawyer is on her way here?" Jonathan asked as he took a sip of his coffee.Dina nodded. "Yes. She should be here in a few minutes.""Good," Jonathan said with a faint smile. "I've already ordered some hot tea for her. They say people who work with their brains are better off drinking tea instead of coffee."Dina raised an eyebrow and smiled playfully. "Wow, you're quite considerate now. Who would've thought a personal driver could be this thoughtful?"Jonathan chuckled softly. "When you're dealing with an important guest, you have to be polite. Especially since she's your friend. I have to make a good impression."Dina leaned back in her chair, giving him a teasing look. "Hmm... tu
