"Don't mess with me!" Nick shouted at the receptionist. "I bought this insurance from my friend, and he said it's valid in every hospital in the country. I'll sue you for trying to extort me!""You need to double-check the type of insurance you chose," the receptionist responded calmly."Are you trying to say my friend's a scammer? That's impossible! He comes from a good family in this city. There's no way he'd lie to me!""But it clearly states that your son's insurance can't be used here. Our system check never makes mistakes."Nick slammed the desk again and pointed at the receptionist with a threatening glare. "Check the computer again, or I'll spread this to the news! You don't want this hospital to go viral, right?""Dad, calm down," Kyra whispered in embarrassment.Others glared at Nick for disturbing the peace. Most patients here came from wealthy circles, so they expected everything to stay calm."What's going on? A patient complained about being disturbed by shouting," a sec

Adrian did not have time to think about who the powerful person he had accidentally offended was. Chairman Lewis had come just like his sister warned. The employees immediately stopped protesting when they saw the company owner arrive."Sir, what about our salary?" a woman asked with hope.Lewis ignored her and pushed through the crowd to get Adrian. When he found him, he punched his face so hard that Adrian fell backward."I hired you because of your sister's recommendation! But you destroyed my business!" Lewis shouted, climbing on top of Adrian and beating him brutally.No one moved to stop him. Besides being afraid of getting punched, most of the employees here held grudges against Adrian because he often acted arrogantly."Please, I don't know what happened!" Adrian begged as he tried to cover his face. "I admit I bullied my subordinates, but I never once offended anyone in the elite circle!"People whispered to each other, trying to guess what had happened. It seemed Adrian had

Halston looked for the nearest hospital, and it was Westlake Medical Center, which happened to be the best in the city. The paramedics immediately took Julian to the Trauma Center for treatment. Kyra sat waiting calmly, even though her mind was in turmoil. She was still thinking about who would target her family."You still don't want to admit it, huh?" Nick accused Halston again. "The only one who knew about the cooperation between Mr. Rowan and me was you. Looks like you purposely hired a team of hitmen to kill me because you didn't want to give me that contract."Kyra rubbed her face in frustration when she heard that. "Come on, Dad! Why would Halston hire those people and beat them up? Wouldn't that hurt him instead?""But this is strange! Halston somehow knew we were in that forest and came to save us. He also suddenly showed up at our house to cause trouble with the people from Red Syndicate..."Nick paused when he realized something. His eyes narrowed and glinted with anger at

The hitman stared at the lighter in confusion, glancing around every corner. But before he could think any further, a shadow flashed quickly behind him.A strong hand grabbed his head and twisted it mercilessly. Crack! His body staggered and crashed to the ground, dead before he could even scream."Aaakh, wh-what's going on?" Kyra fell to the ground again, her face growing paler as she saw a corpse lying in front of her.The hitmen immediately went on alert. Their circle broke, and their eyes darted, searching for the source of the attack.Then, someone appeared out of nowhere without a sound. Halston approached the hitmen while stretching his neck. "Why doesn't the Red Syndicate ever learn and keep sending weaklings?" he mocked."Kill this scum now!" one of them hissed as he raised his gun. But before he could pull the trigger, Halston had already moved.He shot forward like a bullet, knocking the barrel aside and smashing the man's temple hard with his elbow. The sound of breaking b

Nick swallowed hard, his hands raised as if trying to calm things down. He tried to sound friendly even though his voice was shaking. "I-It seems… you've got the wrong address, right?"One of the masked men stepped forward. "We're not mistaken. The order's clear, capture Nick and his two kids," he replied coldly.Kyra froze in place, feeling the hair on her neck stand on end. The air felt heavy as the men played with their weapons as a threat. Julian, who had looked relaxed earlier, was now in sheer panic. His face was pale, and his eyes darted quickly, searching for an escape.With trembling hands, he pushed Kyra forward. "T-Take her! I don't care!" his voice cracked, full of fear.Kyra turned in shock, her chest feeling like it was struck. She knew Julian was annoying, but she never thought her brother would sacrifice her.But the men only let out a low laugh. One of them stepped closer and slowly slid the barrel of his gun along Julian's face."Do we look like people you can negoti

Halston stared at the card for a moment before chuckling. "Do you think I'm short on money here? If I were desperate about my finances, I'd have gone back to my family the moment you first came to me," he said sarcastically."I know you're not lacking anything," William explained in a calm tone. "But this card has another advantage. It can be used to pay for a visa that'll be ready in an instant. You can also use the emergency transport service that's usually reserved for important politicians."Not every country is visa-free for Veyland, and it takes time to get one. Halston could easily get it using his money. But he once read that the cost for a special visa was much cheaper if someone owned a black card with a silver crown.Most of its owners were state leaders because they needed it in emergencies. Halston remembered that the president of Veyland once gave him that card, and it was still stored neatly in a safe inside one of his mansions. He had not used it since he had his own m
