Dr. Kai's jaw tightened.

The movement was small, barely perceptible, but it was there—the physical manifestation of a man who has just been placed in a position he finds intolerable and is forcing himself to occupy it anyway.

He could not believe this was happening.

He was standing in front of William, the man he had spent the last forty-eight hours planning to destroy, the man he had fully expected to watch crumble under public accusation tonight, and he was being ordered to apologize. Not pri

    Jefferson stopped mid-step, his body still trembling, his hand still pressed against his bleeding mouth, and he turned around slowly to face William.His expression was a mixture of pain, anger, and confusion, and when he spoke, his voice was thick with blood and distorted by the missing teeth."What the hell are you talking about?" he said, his tone sharp and defensive. "Asking me where the hell I think I am going? I am leaving, of course. What else would I be doing?"He spat more blood onto the ground, his eyes narrowing as he stared at William.William did not respond.He simply stood there, his expression calm, his posture relaxed, his eyes fixed on Jefferson with an intensity that made Jefferson's skin crawl.The silence stretched out, heavy and oppressive, and Jefferson felt his anger rising."Is it because I have decided to go easy on you?" Jefferson shouted, his voice rising in pitch, becoming more frantic. "Is that why you still have the audacity, the guts, to actually ask me

    Jefferson's shout echoed across the empty basketball court, his voice filled with desperation and rage as he watched his friends disappear into the distance.But they did not stop, they did not look back.They did not even hesitate.They ran as quickly as their legs could carry them, their footsteps fading into the distance until they were gone completely, leaving Jefferson alone with William.The silence that followed was heavy, oppressive, broken only by the sound of Jefferson's labored breathing and the faint rustling of wind through the trees surrounding the court.Jefferson slowly turned his head, his bloodied face twisted with a mixture of pain, anger, and defiance, and he looked up at William."So what are you going to do?" he said, his voice distorted and slurred by the blood and missing teeth, but still carrying a note of challenge. "Huh? What do you think you can do? I dare you. I dare you to raise your hand on me again. I dare you."He spat blood onto the ground, his eyes n

    The moment Jefferson's friend shouted, something shifted in the air.The faces of the men standing around William changed.Their expressions hardened, their jaws tightened, and they exchanged quick glances with one another, a silent agreement passing between them.They looked at William, their eyes filled with anger and indignation."How dare you," one of them said, his voice sharp and accusing. "How dare you punch him? How dare you lay your fingers on him?"And then, without waiting for a response, five of them rushed forward at once.They came at William from different angles, their movements coordinated, their intent clear.They were trying to overpower him with sheer numbers, to use their collective strength to bring him down.But it did not work.William moved with a speed and precision that caught them completely off guard.The first one to reach him swung a wild punch, his fist aimed at William's face.William sidestepped easily, his body shifting just enough to avoid the blow,

    Jefferson was in the middle of dribbling the basketball, his movements fluid and casual, when something caught his eye.He stopped abruptly, the ball still bouncing once, twice, before he caught it and held it against his hip.His gaze was fixed on the entrance of the private basketball court, and a slow, deliberate smile began to spread across his face."Wow," he said loudly, his voice carrying across the court with unmistakable amusement. "Look who we literally have here."The moment he spoke, everything stopped.The game that had been in full swing just seconds before came to an immediate halt.The players on the court froze mid-motion, their heads turning in unison toward the entrance.The people sitting on the bench, who had been chatting and laughing, stood up, their conversations dying mid-sentence.The entire atmosphere shifted in an instant, the relaxed, carefree energy replaced by something sharp and tense, something expectant.And there, standing at the entrance, was Willia

    William stood frozen in the doorway, his hand still resting on the frame, his back to his mother.He did not turn around.He did not respond immediately.The silence stretched out, heavy and tense, and then his father's voice joined his mother's."You should not be doing that," his father said firmly, his tone carrying the weight of parental authority and concern. "Is that what you are actually planning to do? No, no, no. You should not. You absolutely should not. We should follow the right channel, go through the proper legal process. We should not go and start causing problems for ourselves. Do you understand?"He paused, his voice becoming more urgent."These people are powerful, William," he continued. "Veronica's husband is very, very wealthy. They have connections, resources, influence. I know that going through the legal system is going to be a very long and tedious process, I know the stress and the frustration are going to be overwhelming, but we should not go looking for pro

    Every head in the room turned sharply toward the doorway.The voice had come suddenly, cutting through the heavy silence like a knife, and when they looked, they saw William standing there.He was breathing hard, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his face flushed, his clothes slightly disheveled.From the look of him, it was clear that he had been running.That he had sprinted here, driven by urgency and fear, without stopping to catch his breath or compose himself.William's mother stared at him in shock."William," she said quickly, her voice rising with concern and confusion. "What the hell are you doing here? Who told you? We did not send you a message. We did not want to worry you until we knew more. How did you find out?"William did not answer immediately.He stood there in the doorway, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his eyes fixed on his sister lying in the hospital bed, wrapped from head to toe in bandages.And then he spoke, his voice low and
