30 minutes later...Thom’s car stopped in the parking area of Star Kindergarten.The two-story building, painted in bright yellow, stood among shady trees. Flower pots lined the terrace, and in the front yard, red-and-blue swings and slides looked inviting. The sound of children laughing could be heard from a distance.Thom got out first, opening the back door for Shenina. Jasmine stood beside him, adjusting the pink backpack on the little girl’s back.Shenina jumped excitedly. “Dad, look! There’s a swing!”“You can play later during recess,” Thom said, holding his daughter’s hand.Rachel stepped out of her old car gracefully. She walked toward them, her eyes never leaving Shenina.They entered the school building.A friendly-looking teacher greeted them at the classroom door. The young woman wore a pink uniform, her hair tied back neatly.“Good morning, this must be Shenina,” the teacher greeted. “I’m Rani, her homeroom teacher.”Shenina smiled shyly. Jasmine nudged her gently. “Try

Theon lay on a hospital bed. His face was still swollen, his mouth still wrapped in thick bandages, and his tongue still felt like a foreign object in his mouth that he could not control. The doctor had already said that the chances of him ever speaking normally again were very small. Maybe never.But in his heart, the fire of revenge kept burning.He did not care about his father’s warning. He did not care about Thom’s threats. He did not care about the pain that still stabbed him every time he swallowed. The only thing on his mind was one thing—revenge.“After I recover,” he swore to himself, his eyes staring at the spotless white hospital ceiling, “I will make Thom feel pain a thousand times worse than this. I will destroy the woman he loves. I will take everything he has. I will have my revenge!”His hand clenched on top of the blanket. But the pain in his wrist, still wrapped in bandages, reminded him that he could not do anything yet.***The next day, the sun shone brightly on
Chapter 241
Henry stood beside his son’s bed, his body still trembling. The old man who had been respected for decades by officials, businessmen, and even generals now looked fragile. His shoulders were slightly hunched, his eyes did not dare meet Thom’s for long, and the hands that had once been clenched now hung limply at his sides.He tried to gather what little courage he had left. His voice came out nervously, trembling at the edge of each word. "So... you came here just to threaten me?"Thom looked at Henry with flat eyes. His face showed no emotion, but there was something there that made a chill crawl down Henry’s spine."Yeah, you’re right," Thom replied calmly. "I would never be willing to visit your son, who likes to do immoral things. He nearly harmed the woman I love."His gaze shifted to Theon lying on the bed. The young man was still crying silently, tears streaming down his swollen cheeks, soaking the bandage around his mouth. His eyes were red, full of hatred, but also filled wit
Chapter 240
At the Hospital.... Celam stood in the VIP hospital waiting room with his hand still bandaged, his face pale from the trauma. He had just finished reporting to Henry about his failure to kill Thom. Not only had he failed, but he had also been humiliated. Thom had not only avoided the car crash, but had also broken his wrist with a single subtle movement that was almost invisible. Henry listened to the report with a face that grew redder and redder. His hands clenched, his nails nearly piercing the skin of his palms. He wanted to shout at Celam, to curse him as a useless hitman. But he held himself back. Celam also delivered Thom’s message. A message that made the hairs on the back of Henry’s neck stand up. "Thom said he will come tonight. To visit Theon." Henry fell silent. His eyes stared blankly at the spotless white hospital wall. He didn’t know how to respond. For decades as a business tycoon, he had been used to being the one who threatened others, not the one being threate
Chapter 239
They stood up. Edclad opened his arms wide, and Thom returned the embrace with a firm pat on his old friend’s back. A warm hug between two men who hadn’t seen each other for years, who had once shared sweat and blood in the same training ground."You tested me," Thom said, pulling away from the hug and looking at Edclad’s still-smiling face.Edclad chuckled softly, his eyes glinting. "Yeah, I thought it wasn’t you. Sorry, reflex. Five years in a remote place like this makes me wary of everyone who comes."Thom nodded, understanding. In their world, vigilance was a second life."How have you been?” Thom asked.Edclad pointed toward the wooden porch where two woven chairs were already waiting. They walked over together, sitting across from each other with a small wooden table between them. The shepherd dog that had been lying on the porch earlier now approached, rubbing its head against Thom’s leg."I’m doing just fine," Edclad replied, his hand stroking the dog’s brown fur. "A simple

"What… what are you?" the man’s voice cracked, trembling between anger and fear. He was absolutely certain that he had successfully run Thom over! But what happened was the opposite. The man didn’t wait for an answer. His hand moved quickly to his waist, pulling something from behind his jacket. A folding knife with a fifteen-centimeter blade snapped open with a click. "I’ll finish you now!" he shouted, then lunged at Thom with the blade drawn. Thom didn’t move. He simply stood there, waiting. The man stabbed. Thom brushed aside the hand holding the knife with a smooth motion, no more than a light swipe. But the force behind that swipe was enough to twist the man’s wrist with a clearly audible crack. The knife fell onto the asphalt with a ringing sound. The man screamed in pain, his hand swelling before his eyes. "Quiet," Thom said. The man fell silent immediately. Not because he obeyed—but because the pain was too overwhelming to scream through. Thom knelt in front of him,
