189. Breaking the Formation
No hesitation. No readable pattern.THUD!One of them dropped.BAM!Another staggered back.But there were still too many.And the pressure was rising.From inside the car, Ellizabeth watched everything closely.Her eyes never left the battlefield.Then she noticed something.This wasn’t just a reckless assault anymore.Among the attackers, several men weren’t rushing in.They weren’t attacking blindly.They were waiting.And somehow, that made them far more dangerous.Her brows tightened.“Oscar…” she whispered softly.Worry began creeping into her chest as more enemies continued appearing.At that same moment, one of the silent men moved.Swoosh!Faster. Cleaner.Straight for Oscar’s blind spot.Oscar sensed it instantly.He spun around, but the strike was already close.THUD!The impact landed.But this time, it felt different.Heavier.Deeper.Oscar was pushed back half a step.His eyes narrowed.So the real experts had finally stepped in.The man stood calmly in front of him.Sil
188. Not Ordinary Opponents
Oscar didn't try to fight all of them at once.Instead, he broke them apart.He drew one into his path. Forced another away. Avoided unnecessary clashes. Then struck whenever an opening appeared.BAM!One attacker was hurled into a table outside the restaurant.Wood splintered apart.THUD!Another was driven backward after a direct collision.But the remaining opponents didn't retreat.If anything, they became even more aggressive.Because they knew that if they hesitated, they would lose their chance.The battle descended into chaos.Yet amid all that chaos, one thing remained steady.Oscar.His movements weren't rushed.They weren't wild.He remained calm.Focused.Precise.And with every passing second, the pressure he exerted continued to grow.A moment later, Elizabeth noticed something.Her eyes swept across the windows.More figures were appearing.More shadows.More watchers.Her brow tightened.Panic flickered across her face."Oscar..." she whispered.Outside, Oscar already
187. Surrounded
"Did you come alone?" Oscar asked.The man smiled."What do you think?"Oscar didn't answer.He already knew.He had sensed them from the beginning.Outside.Above.All around.Not one organization.Several.All waiting for a decision.Their hearing was sharp. Their awareness even sharper.None of them were ordinary people.The man continued."You don't have to answer right now. But opportunities like this don't come twice."He raised a finger."And trust me... we're not the worst of the people hunting you."The words lingered in the air.Heavy.Honest.Dangerous.Oscar let out a slow breath."I'm not interested."The answer came instantly.No hesitation.No room for discussion.The man's smile faded slightly."A shame."He took a step backward, his eyes never leaving Oscar."Then next time, we won't be having such a pleasant conversation."Silence.He turned toward the door.Before leaving, he paused.Without looking back, he spoke one last time."And one more thing."His hand rested
186. Offer and Threat
The stranger's gaze remained fixed on the restaurant."Because we're not the only ones who came."Silence followed.A cool breeze drifted through the street.And just as he said, other figures began appearing in the shadows.Watching.Waiting.Observing from alleyways, rooftops, and dark corners.Inside the restaurant, Elizabeth paused near the entrance.She couldn't explain why.But her instincts were warning her.Something was out there.She couldn't see it clearly, but she could feel it.Her eyes drifted toward the back room for a moment before she returned to the register, finishing the last of the evening's business.Still, she remained alert.Far more alert than before.In the preparation room, Oscar had already finished his work.Slowly, he rose to his feet.He could feel it now.Not one presence.Several.Coming from different directions.Without hesitation, he stepped toward the front of the restaurant.His movements were calm.His eyes were not.The moment he entered the mai
185. Hunted and Sought
The city woke as it always did.People filled the streets.Merchants opened their shops.The sounds of bargaining mixed with the aroma of freshly prepared food drifting through the morning air.On the surface, nothing seemed different.No one looking from the outside would have guessed that overnight, the balance of power in the city's underworld had shifted.But for those paying attention, everything had changed.And that change revolved around a single name.Oscar.That morning, Oscar and Elizabeth were visiting several branches of their Herbal Pavilion.The luxury car Oscar had ordered the day before had finally arrived.Today was the first time he would drive a vehicle purchased entirely through his own hard work."The seats are incredibly soft," Elizabeth commented with a bright smile.Oscar glanced at her, surprised."You like it?""Of course I do."She ran her hand along the leather beside her."I've never sat in a car with seats this comfortable before. It's amazing."Oscar ch
184. Father's Future Son-in-Law
By the time Oscar returned to the city, the sun was already climbing higher.He didn't go to the damaged pavilion.The last thing he wanted was to appear in a crowded place.Instead, he took the quieter routes.Narrow streets.Hidden alleys.Places where no one paid attention.His steps remained steady, even though his body desperately needed rest.Eventually, he arrived somewhere familiar.Elizabeth's residence.A place that had begun to feel more like home than anywhere else.The front door opened.The moment he stepped inside, he felt the difference.Elizabeth was standing behind a table.Her eyes immediately found him.She didn't speak.But her expression changed.She knew something had happened.Oscar walked toward her without saying much.Then he opened his arms.Elizabeth instantly rushed forward and buried herself in his embrace.Warm.Peaceful.For the first time since the battle, Oscar felt the tension inside him loosen."Has anything been bothering you?" Oscar asked softly
