01. The Destruction of Kalix Owen
A press conference was held in a large room with a backdrop of tall walls adorned with the company’s logo. On the stage, there was a conference table with the company’s logo, which now looked bleak. Rows of white chairs were neatly arranged for the members of the press and company executives.
The CEO of the company, Kalix Owen, sat in the middle of the table, appearing calm amidst the tension of others. Beside him, there were several lawyers and financial advisors of the company.Members of the media and journalists sat in their chairs with pens, cameras, and microphones ready to cover the news. The room was very quiet and tense, with the expressions of the attendees reflecting concern and disappointment.Before the conference began, the room was shrouded in a dark and somber atmosphere, as if representing the end of an era in the world of technology.Kalix lifted his tired-looking face and slowly said, “It is with great regret that we make this statement today. Our company, State-of-the-Art Tech, is facing bankruptcy.”He paused for a moment and continued with a heavy heart, “This decision was made after careful consideration of the financial pressures we’ve been facing for some time. We fully acknowledge our responsibility for this situation and understand the impact it will have on various parties, including our employees, shareholders, and loyal customers.”The press conference proceeded smoothly until the Q&A session, when a bold journalist suddenly asked, “Mr. Owen, is it true that you are the illegitimate son of Governor Mason Dominic?”Upon hearing the question, Kalix stared at the journalist. Rumors had been circulating for a long time, ever since Kai actively founded his company two years ago. However, he had never addressed them before.“No,” Kai calmly replied.People thought they wouldn’t get any more answers, but Kalix spoke again.“I am not the illegitimate child of Mason Dominic, I am his legitimate child. Mason Dominic married my mother before he left us and married the woman who could take him to the pinnacle of his career.”Today, perhaps he had to reveal the truth or have no chance at all.This statement caused a major explosion in the midst of the crowd, all cameras focused on Kalix, but his expression remained calm as if he were prepared to face it all. After all, his company had been destroyed by that man, Mason Dominic. There was nothing left to hold him back.“Mr. Owen, is what you’re saying true?”“Yes, I have the evidence. I remained silent all this time because Mason Dominic threatened me with various things, including the life of my mother and this company, but now I have nothing left, and I don’t need to bow to his threats anymore.”After the press conference ended, Kalix didn’t leave the company building. He sat in his chair and gazed at the overcast sky outside.“Aren’t you afraid?” Nick, his friend, had been with him from the beginning.“I am afraid, that’s the truth. But I don’t want to hide anything anymore,” Kalix turned to him and looked at Nick with gratitude. “Nick, go before that man captures you too.”“What do you mean?” Nick furrowed his brow."Mason will definitely come to see me and might even kill me.""It's impossible for me to leave you in this difficult situation!" Nick firmly refused."You have to go for the sake of justice for me later. You have to stand up for the truth for me.""No, I..." Nick could see the determination in Kalix's eyes, which made him unable to argue further. "Do you have no desire to escape?"Kalix shook his head. "I've given up."Nick could only grit his teeth, he knew the immense pressure Kalix was receiving from his father. But Nick also knew he couldn't do anything. He couldn't confront someone like Mason Dominic."Fine. I will leave. If there's a next life, can you still be my friend?"Kalix smiled for the first time in two days. "Of course."They parted there. After Nick left, Kalix took out a cigarette and lit it. The ringing of his phone snapped him out of his reverie, and he checked the caller. He felt lazy to answer the call, but thought it might be the last time, so he answered it.Once the call connected, a gentle voice of a woman called his name."Jane..." Kalix simply called his girlfriend's name without saying anything else.Then Jane's concerned voice was heard. "It's going to rain soon. Why don't you come home? Where are you?""I'm still in the company building. I'll be home in a little while.""Which company building? Kalix, take care of yourself, don't get sick," Jane sounded very worried.Kalix felt a slight warmth in his heart, murmuring softly. The phone call ended shortly, and Kalix got up from his seat. He stretched his body a bit before taking a step outside.Some people suddenly appeared from outside and blocked his way. Kalix wasn't surprised at all, he had suspected that Mason would send someone to find him."Yo, we meet again." It was one of Mason's secret guards, who rarely appeared because his actual job was quietly taking care of people who opposed Mason.Kalix didn't say anything, he was very calm and just looked at the people lazily."Oh, have you resigned yourself to your fate? You're just a mouse, but you dare challenge a tiger." The man showed off his muscles, which were larger than Kalix's thighs. "Don't blame me if I make you even more useless.""I won't resist, take me to the old man now.""Hey, this isn't fun!" the man said, laughing with his friends. "Are you really afraid I'll break your bones?"Then a thug behind the man spoke up. "Boss, why not give him a little beating before taking him to the boss? Otherwise, he might try to escape.""Yeah, boss, that's right. A mouse shouldn't look so neat in a suit!"The man felt his men made sense, so he did a little warm-up before hitting Kalix. Even if Kalix wasn't weak, he couldn't fight so many people and ended up sprawled on the floor."Take him away!"They took Kalix, throwing him roughly into the car. Although Kalix was in a terrible condition, he didn't make a groaning sound or show any signs of pain, except for a slight furrow of his brow.He was taken to an abandoned warehouse and tied to a rattan chair. The hanging lamp was right above his head, making him dizzy from the bright circle of light. Kalix was left alone until he passed out in a daze.Expand

Revenge of the Abandoned Son Extra Chapter 4
"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i

Revenge of the Abandoned Son Extra Chapter 3
"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo

Revenge of the Abandoned Son Extra Chapter 2
Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

Revenge of the Abandoned Son Extra Chapter
"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo

A 5-year-old boy sat on his bed, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the sky behind his bedroom window. The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he
