Chapter 65: REVENGE 1: Completed
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
Chapter 62
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

Romi had returned to his headquarters, an old building steeped in the scent of damp wood and cigarette smoke that had long seeped into the walls. He sat in his grand chair, forcing himself to appear calm even as his fingers trembled faintly against the armrest. Thom stood before him—upright, silent, his unblinking gaze fixed on Romi as if he were assessing trapped prey.“What did you want to talk about?” Romi finally asked, keeping his voice as steady as he could.Thom did not answer right away. His stare pierced through the room, making the air feel heavier with each passing second. “You look restless,” he said quietly. “Are you feeling nervous now, Uncle Romi?”Romi let out a short laugh, dry and clearly forced. “No. What do you mean?” He stood, turning away as he walked toward a small table in the corner of the room. His hand reached for a bottle of water, pouring it into a glass. He drank it in one long swallow, as if the liquid might ease the tightness in his chest. “Would you li

The room fell into instant silence, as if the breath of everyone inside had been strangled at the same time. Madam Lena was the first to react. She rose abruptly, her chair toppling backward with a sharp scrape.“What do you mean?” Her voice trembled, balanced between fury and disbelief.Thom did not answer right away. Instead, he calmly picked up a spoon, took a small portion of food from the Lanster family dining table—the food prepared for them—and brought it to his mouth. He chewed slowly, as if the situation around him meant nothing at all. Every passing second felt like an insult to those watching him.After swallowing, Thom finally spoke, his voice flat yet unmistakably clear. "I have acquired Lanster Company. From this moment on, legally and officially, the company belongs to me.”“That’s impossible!” Frank shot to his feet and slammed his palm against the table. Plates and glasses rattled violently. “You’re lying! This is just one of your tricks to scare us!”Thom lifted his
