Alicia hadn’t expected to hear what Harry told her, yet she couldn’t find a single reason to doubt him. He hadn’t sounded evasive or defensive, if anything, he sounded tired, honest in that way people get when they’ve already accepted that the truth might complicate things. Trust didn’t always come from certainty. Sometimes it came from the absence of red flags, and Harry, for all his secrets, hadn’t tripped any alarms in her mind.

Ignorance, after all, had its comforts. People often called it

  • Chapter 248. The Girls Hang Out

    Alicia found herself trending online once again, and with that surge in visibility came an even greater wave of attention. Attention was something almost no one in the world truly disliked. Whether people admitted it or not, being seen, talked about, and noticed had its own kind of appeal.Even so, there was something about the situation that felt off.Despite that lingering sense that something was not quite right, Alicia chose not to dwell on it. In her mind, the benefits outweighed any concerns. Increased attention meant increased recognition, and recognition could shape her public image in ways she had always wanted.She had a plan.Matteo was going to be part of that plan.Alicia intended to use her connection with him as a stepping stone toward becoming the idol she believed she was destined to be. She saw the opportunity clearly and had no intention of letting it slip away.There was just one complication.She had not spoken to Harry about any of this.She did not have his appr

  • Chapter 247. Harry's New Responsibility

    They made it to the hospital, and the injured man was immediately taken inside for treatment. While he was being attended to, Kathryn and Winston remained behind with Harry. Anna stood nearby, clearly out of place. She shifted awkwardly, her eyes wandering around the room, taking in everything. The environment was completely new to her, filled with sights she had never encountered before.“Harry, we need to ask you some questions about what happened to him,” Kathryn began.Before she could continue, Winston stepped in.“Not now, Kathryn. This isn’t the right time. We can handle that later,” he said, making it clear that there was a proper moment for such discussions.Kathryn did not argue. She simply stayed quiet. Harry understood that she sometimes struggled with reading social cues, so her approach did not bother him.“It’s okay,” Harry replied calmly.He glanced at Anna. She was so absorbed in everything around her that she had not paid any attention to their conversation.“We got

  • Chapter 246. A Fiery Anna

    Nothing stood in Harry’s way anymore. There was no excuse left, no obstacle strong enough to stop him from taking the step he knew he needed to take if he ever wanted to make things right.Even so, he felt unsteady inside.There was a sense of disorientation he could not shake off, a feeling that he no longer understood himself or the path he was walking. Still, no matter how lost he felt, he knew there was no escaping what lay ahead of him.He had returned to the place he once called home.But standing there now, it did not feel like home at all.It felt suffocating.The atmosphere was heavy, almost toxic. The air lacked any sense of comfort or familiarity. Instead of welcoming him, it pressed down on him, making it harder to breathe.Even so, he could not turn away.He had to confront this.There was something blocking him, something keeping him from remembering the truth of his past.What was it?Where had that strange system come from?Why was it giving him abilities tied so close

  • Chapter 245. A Tough Neighborhood

    Harry broke down as the weight of everything settled on him. He was not just crying for the moment, but for a life he never truly had. The realization struck deeply that his childhood had been taken from him, shaped into something incomplete, something that now felt distant and uncertain.He forced himself to stop.With a quick motion, he wiped the tears from his face and began moving through the house. Each step he took caused the floorboards to creak loudly beneath him, a clear sign of how much the structure had aged over time.It felt fragile, as though it might collapse at any second.Even so, that was how it had always been.Harry could not understand how the building was still standing after all these years. Despite how weak it appeared, it had endured far longer than anyone would expect. There was a stubborn strength to it that refused to give way.Before he realized it, he had wandered into a room that once belonged to his mother.“Mama…” the word slipped from his lips without

  • Chapter 244. Falk Street

    After receiving confirmation that Kathryn and Winston were on their way, Harry decided to leave the injured man behind in that area. There was nothing more he could do for now, and staying any longer would only increase the risk to himself. As he walked away, something began to feel off. He tried to recall where his house used to be, but the memory would not come together properly. No, it was not that he could not remember. It was something else. The surroundings did not match what he had in mind. The houses looked different from what he remembered growing up. That was what unsettled him. Harry spotted a woman passing by and stepped in her path, stopping her. She was covered in tattoos from head to toe, but that was not what caught his attention. He did not judge her based on her appearance. What stood out to him was the fact that she lived in a place like this. The woman looked him over carefully, scanning him from head to toe as if trying to figure him out. From the way he

  • Chapter 243. The Agency's Visitor

    Susan found herself entertaining someone she never expected to deal with directly. The man standing before her was none other than Osaka.“This place is smaller than I imagined,” Osaka remarked casually.The moment he said that, the excitement Susan initially felt disappeared. She knew he had business ties with Harry, which made his presence here confusing. Why would someone like him come personally?For a brief moment, she wondered if he was looking for Harry, but that idea did not make sense. A man of Osaka’s stature would not make such a careless move.“Mr. Osaka, how can I assist you?” Susan asked, maintaining her composure.Her response seemed to catch him off guard.“You know who I am?” Osaka asked.Susan nodded. Harry had already briefed her on everything regarding his dealings with Osaka, so she was not in the dark.Osaka’s gaze slowly moved over her, assessing her from head to toe. Susan carried herself with authority, the kind of presence that made her appear powerful. In hi
