Benny clenched his teeth when he heard Thom’s question. That calm tone made his blood boil. He hated the way Thom stood there so relaxed, as if this situation meant nothing to him. But no matter how strong his anger was, Benny knew he had no other choice.

All of this was his mother’s order.

Madam Lena never asked twice. That morning, her voice had been cold and absolute when she ordered Benny to bring Thom to the police station. The police had made it clear that the report against Frank could only be withdrawn by the person who filed it or by the victim. If that happened, Frank would not go to prison and the case would be closed. There was no other way.

Benny took a deep breath, holding back his pride that was about to explode.

“I came here to pick you up,” he finally said, his voice hard and sharp. “I am taking you to the police station.”

The lobby fell silent again. Several employees who were still there pretended to be busy, but it was obvious that none of them missed that sentence

    Rachel fell silent at once. She did not respond to anyone anymore, then returned to her seat with graceful composure as if nothing had happened, continuing her dinner with slow, elegant movements.However, a few seconds later, she lifted her face and said to Thom, “Let me be the one to keep this watch. I understand you, Thom. You really do not like wearing expensive items like that.”She looked at Thom as if she truly believed she had perfectly read his personality.Thom glanced at her briefly, then shrugged casually. “I know you,” he said lightly. “You do like things like that. Go ahead and take it. Consider it a gift for you.”Those words slightly surprised Rachel, but the irritation that had surfaced was instantly replaced by joy she could barely hide. Her heart beat faster as her fingers touched the black box again. The Rolex was not just a gift, but a symbol of something she had only ever dreamed of. Even in the past, when she subtly or openly asked Frank for it, he always avoide

    Thom returned home exactly at seven in the evening. The sky outside was already dark, the garden lights glowed softly, and the house looked warm from a distance, a sharp contrast to the cold headquarters he had just left behind.In his hands were several shopping bags filled with the latest toys, interactive dolls and brightly colored building blocks that he bought especially for Shenina. Every step toward the front door felt lighter, as if all the blood and death he left behind had never truly touched this world.The moment the door opened, the smell of food greeted him. In the dining room, Rachel sat at the side of the table, feeding Shenina, who giggled softly with sauce smeared on her cheeks.Mr. Edmund sat upright at the end of the table, reading the news on his tablet, while Jasmine busied herself arranging the plates. Madam Yosie, with her usual sharp demeanor, was cutting meat with movements that were graceful yet full of judgment.“Daddy!” Shenina shouted the moment she saw T

    Thom looked at Benny with an expression that was hard to read. His face was calm—too calm for someone who had just been riddled with bullets. His lips moved slowly, his voice low yet firm, as though every word had been chosen with care. “If you are trying to kill me, it will never succeed,” Thom said. “Because I have long been acquainted with death. I can even restrain it myself, holding it back from ending my life.” The words made Benny’s breath hitch. His body trembled beyond his control, cold sweat trickling down his temples. “Y-you’re going to kill me…?” Benny asked in a shaking voice, almost a whisper. His feet retreated step by step until his back struck the iron table behind him. He was certain this was the moment Thom would repay everything—the betrayal, the bullets, the hatred aimed at him. But instead, Thom stepped closer, slowly, without haste. Each step made Benny’s heart pound harder, as if it were about to leap out of his chest. The distance between them closed. “I

    “What are you going to do, Benny?” Romi asked, his voice trembling.Benny let out a long breath. His hands were still shaking, the pistol cold and heavy in his grip. “I heard everything. Every word you two said from beginning to end. Not a single thing was missed.”Thom looked at both of them with a flat expression, then spoke casually. “So which part made you this miserable?”Benny snapped his head slightly toward him, his eyes red, his jaw clenched. “Shut up, Thom!” he shouted. “I have no business with you. I only hate Romi!"Benny’s gaze returned to Romi, filled with hatred and long-buried pain. “Why did you have to be my father? I never wanted you to be my biological father.”Romi fell silent for a moment, then slowly stepped closer before remembering that the gun was still pointed at him. “Benny,” he said in a low voice, trying to coax him, “have you forgotten that I’ve been the one protecting you all this time? When your scandal nearly destroyed your name, I was the one who clea

    Thom looked at Madam Lena once more. His gaze was no longer merely cold—it was firm and absolute, like a verdict that could not be challenged.“Stepmother,” he said slowly, his voice calm yet crushing, “I’ve already told you. Leave. Now.”Madam Lena trembled violently. Her legs no longer felt like her own. She turned toward Romi, who stood frozen in terror before Thom. Romi’s eyes were wide, filled with panic he could no longer conceal.“No, Lena… don’t,” Romi struggled and cried out, his voice breaking. “Help me. Don’t leave me alone with him. You know I can’t die here. You can’t let this happen!”Romi’s sobs were pitiful, but they no longer moved anyone’s heart.Madam Lena broke down, her chest tight, her mind spiraling with guilt, fear, and exhaustion after years of living in lies. She looked at Thom again, searching for a crack, for mercy.But all she found was resolve.At last, with trembling steps and ragged breaths, Madam Lena obeyed Thom’s command. She turned and walked out of

    The explosion of gunfire shattered the air without warning.One shot, two shots...Then several bullets tore through the space from an unseen distance, striking Thom’s body from a direction no one could pinpoint.“AAARRHH!” Madam Lena screamed, the sound breaking off halfway as if her chest had forgotten how to breathe. In her panic, she believed Thom was dead. Her knees buckled, her body nearly collapsing if not for the wall behind her holding her upright.Romi froze, then a thin smile of relief crept onto his battered face. His men had moved. They had saved him. They had shot Thom.But the very next second, the world seemed to stop turning.Amid the thin haze of smoke and the sharp stench of gunpowder, Thom was still standing. His body remained upright, facing the wall—unfallen, unmoving, without the slightest sign of injury. There was no blood. No groan of pain. Only a terrifying silence.Slowly, Thom turned his head to the left. The movement was calm, unhurried, as if the gunfire
