Hansen stood at the edge of the beach, the crashing waves slapping hard against his feet. Behind him, the helicopter that had carried him away from Eden's headquarters slowly sank, bubbles of air and gasoline popping on the water's surface before vanishing into the sea.

He looked around—white sand, swaying coconut trees, and in the distance, green hills.

"Where is this? Am I still far from Kuta City?"

No answer. Only the sea breeze whispered back.

He sighed, then opened the small bag he had managed to save. Inside, the Eden Core—a faintly pulsing blue crystal—remained intact, emitting a dim spiritual energy.

"Still usable..."

He tightened the straps of his bag and began walking along the beach.

Hansen walked for hours, passing through small forests and steep cliffs. His body was exhausted, but his mind remained alert.

"Eden might be destroyed, but there must be remnants of its followers scattered. They won't stop."

Suddenly, the sound of an engine roared from afar.

Hansen crouched beh

  • Chapter 111: A Silent Shock

    Kirames City was as bustling as ever, but to Alyssa, the world felt unusually quiet. She had woken up earlier than usual—not because of a schedule, but because her mind was restless. The voice of the man in the black robe still echoed in her ears—a subtle threat delivered with a smile, like poison in a glass of wine.In the hotel room where she was staying, Alyssa stared at the tablet screen showing a graph of goods distribution over the past two months. Too many variables didn’t make sense: “missing” shipments, fictitious transactions, and contracts she never approved.She tapped the small table in front of her. “There’s someone inside the company… but who?”A knock came from the door.“Miss Alyssa, it’s Rinto,” came the voice from outside.“Come in.”Rinto entered carrying several documents, his face uneasy. He wasn’t like yesterday—this time, his eyes showed real concern.“There’s something you need to see,” he said, handing over a red folder.Alyssa opened it, and her heart skippe

  • Chapter 110: The Shadow Behind the Explosion

    Just when everyone thought Alan would be captured, a sudden explosion shook the side of the room. A deep growl echoed, and from behind the collapsed wall emerged a tall, hulking figure radiating a terrifying dark aura.“At last, we meet again, boy!” bellowed a heavy voice.Bama.The old man in a dark robe stepped forward, his body still covered in lingering, unhealed wounds. His large hand swung forward instantly, aiming a brutal blow toward Hansen.Swoosh!Hansen, who had been focused on Alan, instinctively leaped aside—his instincts saving his life.BOOM!The wall behind him shattered, smoke and debris flying everywhere, deafening everyone inside the building.“You old fossil,” Hansen shouted as he jumped back, eyes blazing with fury. “Still haven’t learned your lesson after what happened that night?!”Bama let out a booming laugh, his raspy voice shaking the air. “You think I lost that night because you were strong? No, boy. I retreated… because I had a more important mission.”Han

  • Chapter 109: Fire in the Shadows

    Leona stumbled back several steps and grabbed her phone with trembling hands. She quickly dialed Alan Sandro’s number, her voice nervous as the call connected.“Mr. Alan. Someone is trying to enter your room.”“What?” Alan responded sharply, his tone spiking with alarm. “Who is it?”“He claims to be a traditional doctor… He said he can destroy the curse on Mr. Hendra Atmajaya.”Alan fell silent for a moment. The tension thickened in the brief pause. Then his voice returned, furious and restrained.“This can’t be allowed. What about Kevin? Why didn’t he stop him?”“Kevin… was caught by Mr. Shimin’s men. He was found carrying cursed fluid…”A loud slam echoed from Alan’s end. “Damn it… Hansen… So he really did come here!”Leona inhaled shakily. “Mr. Alan, do you know him?”Alan didn’t respond right away. But behind him stood someone—Gading—leaning against the corner of the room, his body covered in tattoos and eyes sharp like a predator.Alan turned quickly to him. “Gading, Hansen is at

  • Chapter 108: The Evidence in Hand

    Hansen made a sudden hand gesture.Whoosh!Bam!Kevin's body was suddenly thrown backward, slamming into the wall with a loud thud. Everyone in the room was stunned. Leona nearly screamed, while Fatmala covered her mouth in shock.From the pocket of Kevin’s white coat, something fell to the floor and rolled a few times before stopping near Shimin Atmajaya’s feet.It was a small, clear vial filled with a dark red liquid that looked thick like blood but shimmered oddly under the light. Hansen quickly stepped forward, crouched down, and picked up the bottle. Just a brief touch was enough for him to sense the heavy demonic aura emanating from it.The same demonic aura he had found in Hendra’s body.“This...” he muttered quietly, his eyes narrowing sharply. “This isn't medicine. It's poison… or more precisely—a catalyst of the curse.”Kevin struggled to get back on his feet, his face pale. “That... that's not mine! I don’t know how it got into my pocket! Someone must’ve planted it!”Shimin

  • Chapter 107: Traces of Dark Energy

    Hansen didn’t care about Kevin shouting emotionally behind him. His eyes were fixed only on the figure lying helpless on the hospital bed—Hendra Atmajaya, the son of a powerful conglomerate in this city, and also… someone who might know something about the curse that had claimed many victims lately.His steps were steady, even cold. The atmosphere in the VIP room changed instantly. He ignored the disbelieving looks from Leona and the two doctors standing in the corner. His hand slowly touched Hendra’s chest, channeling a bit of spiritual energy.“Don’t—Hey, you’re not a doctor!” Kevin cried out, stepping forward. But before he could touch Hansen, an invisible pressure struck him.Thud!Kevin’s body was gently thrown backward, as if the very air rejected him. Hansen didn’t even glance his way. He remained focused.Spiritual energy flowed slowly, tracing the meridians and life nodes within Hendra’s body. He could feel a faint pulse—not from the heart, but something deeper. Something for

  • Chapter 106: Shadows from the West

    In the southern region of the country of Epora, the soft evening breeze swept over the balcony of a luxurious colonial-style villa owned by the Laotaro family. The sky had begun to turn orange, and the scent of the distant sea brought a sense of calm to anyone standing there. Alyssa, wearing a simple white dress, stood leaning against the balcony railing, staring blankly at the horizon.Her heart and mind were uneasy. It had been nearly a month since she last heard anything from Hansen. The man had seemingly vanished off the face of the earth, and though there were no official ties between them, the feelings in her heart throbbed with uncertainty."Hansen..." she murmured softly, barely louder than the wind. "I hope you're safe… wherever you are."Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from inside the house. Alyssa turned, slightly startled to see her father, Laotaro, standing at the balcony doorway, arms crossed, a faint smile etched on his face."Still thinking about Mr. Hansen?" he
