Alex frowned slightly after hearing Daniel’s words.

Honestly, he was already tired of all this childish drama. He still had important things to handle around the school administration.

“I do not have time for this,” Alex said calmly.

Then he tried walking past them. But immediately, Daniel and his friends stepped sideways again and blocked his path completely.

Daniel sneered.

“You were talking confidently back in class like a real man,” he mocked. “So what happened now?”

    Father and son left the warehouse together shortly afterward.Outside, a long convoy of luxurious Rolls-Royces was already waiting for them. Before long, Alex and Victor entered one of the vehicles and the convoy pulled away from the warehouse.Although they were seated together in the spacious backseat, a strange silence hung between them. Neither man seemed to know where to begin. The entire situation felt unreal. As a result, both men remained quiet while the convoy drove through the city. Nearly thirty minutes later, the vehicles finally arrived at their destination.As the convoy passed through a massive security gate, Alex looked through the window and immediately froze. His eyes widened as he stared at the breathtaking sight before him.For a moment, he genuinely thought they had entered a private city.Before him stood the most beautiful villa he had ever seen in his entire life.Alex already owned the most extravagant mansion in Eco City Estate, and before today he had beli

    For several moments after Victor revealed that Margaret was his mother and he was his father, Alex simply stood there in silence.His mind was in complete turmoil. Everything had changed within the span of a few minutes. For twenty-two years, he had believed he was alone in the world. There had been times when he watched other children spending time with their families and wished he had someone waiting for him whenever he returned home. But there was no one.Now after all this years, all of a sudden, he had found his father.The feeling was difficult to describe. There was confusion, disbelief, and shock, but beneath all of it was a profound sense of joy. It felt as though he had finally found something that had been missing his entire life.Victor, however, did not have mixed feelings.The old man was completely overwhelmed with emotion. His eyes were red, tears continuously streamed down his face, and before anyone could say another word, he stepped forward and pulled Alex into a t

    Silence filled the entire warehouse after Victor's declaration.Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Even Sosa and his men had temporarily forgotten about everything that had happened earlier. The tension that had been building because of the confrontation suddenly disappeared as every single person in the room focused their attention on Alex and Victor.Meanwhile, Alex stood frozen in place as Victor's words continued echoing inside his mind.The statement was so unbelievable that for several moments, Alex genuinely did not know how to react. Then suddenly, he threw his head backwards and laughed.After a while, Alex finally stopped laughing. He shook his head before looking directly at Victor."Sir," he began respectfully, "I truly respect you. In fact, I am grateful for everything you have done for me. You gave me money when I needed it, and every time we have met, you have treated me with kindness. Because of that, I have a great deal of respect for you."He paused briefly before continui

    The atmosphere inside the warehouse had become extremely tense. Sosa himself stood at the center of the room with a cold smile on his face."You brought this upon yourself," he said menacingly. "Nobody interferes in my business and walks away unharmed. Today, you are going to learn that lesson."Several of the thugs tightened their grip on their weapons and began taking slow steps toward Alex.However, just as the situation was about to explode into violence, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the warehouse.A few moments later, one of Sosa's men who was positioned as a watchdog outsider the warehouse came running through the entrance. The thug looked terrified. His breathing was uneven and sweat covered his forehead."Boss!" he shouted urgently. "Boss!"Sosa frowned immediately."What is it?" he demanded. "Why are you running around like your life depends on it?"The thug swallowed nervously before replying."There are several vehicles heading this way."The words immedi

    The moment Sosa's voice sounded from behind them, Alex, Maurice and his family immediately stopped walking.Maurice slowly turned around, and this time there was obvious anger on his face."What now?" he asked coldly. "You already got your money. What else do you want from us?"Sosa slowly slipped his phone back into his pocket before looking at them with a strange smile."You seem to be forgetting something important," he said calmly.Maurice frowned."And what exactly am I forgetting?"Sosa clasped his hands behind his back and slowly paced around the room."You paid the debt, yes," he said. "But you only paid the original debt. You have not paid for the inconvenience you caused me."Maurice stared at him in disbelief."Inconvenience?" he repeated. "What inconvenience are you talking about?"Sosa stopped walking and looked directly at him."The repayment date I gave you expired a long time ago," he explained. "Because you failed to repay on time, I had to spend additional time, addi

    With the knife still pointed at his throat, Alex continued pressing his phone repeatedly while trying hard to stay calm.Sweat slowly formed on his forehead as he refreshed the banking app again and again, but the network was still completely gone.Sosa’s face became colder with every passing second.Then suddenly, he slowly raised one hand into the air.“You have thirty seconds,” he said darkly. “If I do not receive my money before then, your blood will decorate this floor.”Immediately, he began counting with his fingers.The entire room instantly became silent.Maurice’s wife held her children tightly against her body while trembling badly in fear. Maurice himself looked completely helpless as he stared nervously at Alex.“Alex,” he said quickly, “Forget about us and find away to leave this place immediately. Please. This man is not normal.”But Alex ignored him completely as he continued struggling with his phone.He quickly turned on flight mode and switched it off again, hoping
