Her eyes, usually sharp and full of authority, now appeared glassy with uncontrollable anxiety. "Li Wei... you said it was just a debt of gratitude. The FBI won’t intervene if it’s just a normal transaction. I could be finished; this company could be finished if there’s any indication of money laundering!"Li Wei did not answer with words. He merely let out a short sigh and glanced toward the large glass doors at the end of the hallway. In the distance, the executive elevator chimed—a sound that felt like the tolling of a death knell to anyone in the room. It

Chapter 9 A Beautiful Lie
Onyxa Storm stood so close that Li Wei could feel her racing breath—a sharp contrast to the scent of her Black Baccara perfume, which usually smelled of arrogance but was now mixed with the cold sweat of anxiety. Her sharp eyes seemed to want to dissect Li Wei’s skull, searching for whatever circuits were running inside the head of the man she had, only hours ago, dismissed as Brooklyn trash.Li Wei remained motionless. His back rested casually against the edge of the cold glass desk. In his mind, thousands of years of life experience spun rapidly, sifting through which information could be revealed and which had to be buried as deep as the Earth's core. He looked at Onyxa, not with the look of a servant or an intimidated contract husband, but with the stillness of a bored predator."You want to know who I am?" Li Wei repeated in a flat tone, his voice low yet resonating within the soundproof room. "I’m just someone who happens to have a debt of gratitude to pay to the Tamsara orphana
Chapter 8 The Destruction of Vanguard
Li Wei turned his face away from the glass window, but the lingering residue of Qi pressure from the mysterious man in the opposite building still felt etched into the back of his neck. That vibration wasn't just a threat; it was a proclamation that his existence in this era was no longer a secret. However, Li Wei didn't have time to chase that shadow now. His focus returned to the room, where the digital noise of the stock trading machines began to transform into an orchestra of destruction for the one person left standing in the ruins."This is impossible... hey, something’s definitely wrong with the system!" shouted one of Quoriel’s junior analysts sitting in the corner, his fingers dancing frantically across his laptop keyboard. "Vanguard stock... it’s getting pulverized, Boss! The valuation just dropped forty percent in three minutes! This is insane—it's a massive dumping!"Quoriel Nightshade, who had been sitting with the poise of a predator, now looked like a man who had just s
Chapter 7 A Number from the Past
Onyxa was stunned, her eyes swollen from holding back tears as she stared at Li Wei’s wide-open palm. There was something in the man’s voice—an authority that shouldn't belong to a "leech of a husband" who had just woken from a coma. A momentary silence fell over the chaotic office, interrupted only by the ticking of the wall clock and the hum of the air conditioning, which felt increasingly cold."Are ... are you serious?" Onyxa whispered, her voice trembling. Her hand reached into her expensive blazer pocket, pulling out a sleek titanium-cased phone. "Li Wei, this isn't the time to play detective or the hero. Quoriel has already frozen all our access to liquidity. One phone call isn't going to change the billions of dollars lost on that screen."Quoriel Nightshade, sitting with her legs crossed in the leather chair across the table, burst into a mocking laugh. Her voice was shrill, slicing through the tension like a rusted blade. "Oh, God ... this is the best comedy I've ever seen o
Chapter 6 Attack on Wall Street
"I was just about to close my eyes for a second."ounding heavy and raspy, a remnant of the energy he had completely drained to purge the Yin curse from Onyxa’s body. He leaned his head against the cold mahogany door frame, his sharp eyes observing Onyxa, who now stood frozen, her hands trembling as she gripped her phone. The light from the screen reflected off her pale face, making the dark circles under her eyes look even more prominent."Are you serious, Vaelara? Thirty percent in one hour? That’s impossible!" Onyxa’s voice rose, a hint of hysteria trapped in her throat. "Short-sellers can’t move that fast without an internal data leak! Who is behind this?!"Li Wei remained silent, listening. He didn't understand what short-sellers were or how numbers on a digital screen could kill a family, but he understood one thing: this was war. The difference was that 300 years ago, war meant the clashing of swords and blood splattering on snow. Now, war was conducted through underground cabl
