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
183. The Explosion of Fame
His breathing was heavy.His body was exhausted.Yet his eyes remained calm.There was no celebration.No triumphant roar.No burst of emotion.Only the weight of a decision that could never be taken back.Slowly, Oscar exhaled.He hadn't started any of this.Without another glance behind him, he turned away and walked out of the massive warehouse ruins.Everything behind him was over.The sky was beginning to brighten when Oscar emerged from the wreckage.A cold sea breeze brushed against his face, carrying the faint scent of salt.In the distance, the sound of waves rolled quietly against the shore, a stark contrast to the devastation he had left behind.He paused for a moment.Took a deep breath.Then released it slowly.His body still felt heavy.The injuries in his shoulder and ribs hadn't fully recovered.The power flowing through him was unstable after the brutal battle that had pushed him beyond his limits.But he couldn't stay.Sooner or later, someone would find the place.A
182. Total Annihilation
The fight was over.But on the far side of the warehouse, Bondam and the others stood frozen.Their eyes widened.They couldn't believe it.Couldn't accept it."Impossible..." Bondam whispered.His hands trembled.The anger inside him surged again, but this time it was mixed with something else.Loss.Fear.Oscar slowly turned toward them.His gaze was cold.Emotionless.Certain.The air tightened once more.Because everyone knew the battle wasn't truly over.And this time, there would be no retreat.---The silence following Abidam's fall felt heavier than the fight itself.Dust continued to drift through the air, settling over the motionless body lying among the ruins.The crashes and shockwaves were gone.The overwhelming pressure had faded.Yet in their place came something sharper.A stare.Oscar stood in the center of the wreckage, breathing heavily but steadily.His body had clearly reached its limits.Pain still lingered in his shoulders and ribs, and the energy flowing throug
181. The Death of Abidam
The black band around Oscar's neck pulsed faintly.A steady current flowed through him, perfectly synchronized with the power moving through his body.The two forces responded to one another.The air around him began to change.The pressure intensified.Not wild.Not chaotic.Controlled.Stable.Abidam narrowed his eyes.He felt the shift immediately."So you can do it too..." he murmured.Silence.Then—Oscar moved.Faster than before.This time, his movement was cleaner.Sharper.More precise.He appeared directly in front of Abidam.No feints.No tricks.Straight in.THUD!Their fists collided.But this time, it was different.The impact was heavier.Deeper.The air around them trembled violently.Neither man gave ground.Neither was thrown back.Yet the pressure between them increased dramatically.Cracks spread beneath their feet.For several long seconds, they remained locked in place.Neither yielding.Neither retreating.But something was beginning to fracture.Not the floor.
