2026-07-15 18:00:18Mr. Suryo remained beside Peter without showing any intention of leaving. He asked why Amanda still called Peter’s invitation fake after both the coordinator and the registration staff had confirmed that every detail matched.
The coordinator signaled the security officers to maintain a safe distance without embarrassing anyone. He still hoped Amanda and Richard would step back on their own before the situation became a more serious violation.

A Threat Behind Closed Doors
Her words hardened Niko's expression. He took considerable pride in the abilities he had acquired, and Norma's refusal felt like an insult to the position of power that had made others fear him."You have no idea who's behind me," he said with an arrogant smile. "I have connections to the Red Shadow Brotherhood. Just mentioning that organization is enough to make plenty of people keep their mouths shut."Norma had never heard of the organization. She understood only that Niko was using another group's name to strengthen his threats while continuing to hold her wrist."I don't know the organization you're talking about," she replied. "But no matter how influential its name is, it doesn't change the fact that I was brought here by force."Niko loosened his grip slightly, wanting to see whether the mention of the Brotherhood had changed her attitude. Norma immediately used the opportunity to pull her ha
The Difference Between Fear and Respect
Niko straightened and studied her with growing impatience. He believed he had given Norma enough opportunities to acknowledge his position, yet every response reminded him that power did not necessarily produce respect."Do you have any idea how many people depend on my business?" he asked. "If revenue keeps falling, many people in this district will lose their jobs."Norma noticed the change in his justification. Earlier he had spoken about his personal profits, but now he was invoking his employees' livelihoods to make the abduction appear like an unavoidable measure."If workers lose their income, I'm sorry to hear that," she replied. "But I can't accept kidnapping someone as a way of protecting their jobs."Niko pressed his palm against the desk. "You clearly don't understand how business works when billions of rupiah are at stake.""I may not have managed a business as large
A Dispute Over Two Billion
Norma Wijaya sat tensely inside Niko's private room, struggling to endure the pain in her arm. Her clothes had been damaged by the rough treatment of her abductors, and her face still bore visible signs of the violence she had suffered since being taken from the market.The room contained expensive furniture that seemed to have been selected primarily to display its owner's wealth. Gold-colored decorations occupied several corners, although the large desk and the surrounding floor were poorly maintained.Norma examined the room while keeping her distance from the man standing nearby. She understood that Niko was the person who had ordered Hendro and his companions to abduct her."My men told me you were rather difficult to talk to," Niko remarked as he pulled out a chair. "All I wanted was to settle a business matter that's been causing my company considerable losses."Norma raised her head despite h
A City Searching for Answers
"I brought this stick to protect our restaurant, not to chase someone who can jump across three buildings," he replied. "Besides, if our roof tiles are broken, the customers will be the ones getting rained on tomorrow."Mrs. Minah shook her head at the explanation. She still found the entire incident unnatural, although her husband's concern about the roof made her examine the tiles more closely.While the couple continued arguing about the source of the noise, Peter had already begun assessing his route toward the business district ahead. He had not heard their entire conversation and saw no reason to return merely to explain any damage that might have occurred.Peter checked his balance whenever his feet touched a different kind of surface. Choosing the wrong foothold could result in a fall, unnecessary Qi consumption, or a forced stop while the spiritual guide continued moving away.The next build
The Recording That Spread Across Wada City
"Reza, look over there. Something's moving above the building next door," Doni said, pointing toward the sky.Reza immediately stood and looked in the indicated direction. He saw a human figure jumping toward another building, following a small light that was traveling several dozen meters ahead."If this isn't some kind of trick, the whole city will be talking about it," Reza said as he reached for his phone. He opened the camera immediately, unwilling to miss the opportunity to record something so unusual.Doni moved closer to inspect the screen. "Don't believe it too quickly. They might be filming something with specialized technology."Reza zoomed in and struggled to keep the moving figure centered in the frame. Doni's explanation seemed reasonable, but he could not see any of the equipment normally associated with that kind of performance."If this is a promotional stunt, th
The Mysterious Figure Above Wada City
Peter Davis continued following the Golden Butterfly's light as it traveled toward southern Wada City. Each time he landed, he assessed the distance to the next building before channeling Qi into his legs again, careful not to waste more energy than necessary.The buildings along his route were no longer as uniformly tall as those in the central business district. Office buildings stood among apartment complexes and multistory houses, and the uneven distances between their rooftops made finding suitable landing points increasingly difficult.Peter slowed when the golden butterfly passed through a narrow gap between two buildings. Rather than forcing himself into a longer leap that would consume more energy, he chose a solid section of roofing where he could land safely and prepare for the next movement.Although his modern body had reached the Natural Energy Gathering stage, it was still far from the condition he had enjoyed on the Zicari Continent.
