The Black Boss Beneath the Silver Needles
Goro stood still in the corridor of Apartment 307, with the repayment proof still in his subordinate’s hand. A few minutes ago, he had come as a debt collector, but now every eye saw him weighing something far more expensive than one hundred and fifty million: a chance to stay alive.Hector wanted to speak, but Goro’s gaze made him swallow his voice. The other Red Sickle men were also silent, because they knew their boss well enough to understand that fear was being hidden behind that flat face.“If I sit as a patient,” Goro finally said, “can you really treat me?”Peter did not immediately promise safety. “I can stabilize you tonight and open part of the blockage. I don’t sell a complete cure in one night.”Goro looked at him more sharply. “You are very bold to raise the price after receiving my money.”“I&r
Six Months Left
Goro had already turned away when Peter’s voice stopped him. “Mr. Goro,” Peter said, flat enough to sound like an ordinary call, but sharp enough to make every member of the Red Sickle tense at once.Hector moved first, not to attack, but to half-cover Goro’s body. Brock and Dagger also shifted their positions, while Skull looked at Peter’s needle box with the face of someone more afraid of that small object than a large knife.Goro slowly turned his head. “Your debt is settled, Peter Davis. Don’t make the end of this night more expensive than it has to be.”“I’m not threatening you,” Peter replied. “I’m only giving you a medical warning.”Several neighbors peeking from behind their doors exchanged glances. Only a few minutes ago, Peter had paid off his debt in front of thugs, and now he was speaking to the Red Sickle
A Debt Paid in Front of Thugs
Peter unfolded the transfer proof beneath the flickering corridor light. The number one hundred and fifty million was printed clearly, and for the first time, the members of the Red Sickle saw that the debtor they had once threatened was standing like someone closing a ledger, not begging for more time.Hector took half a step forward, then stopped when Peter lifted the needle box with a small movement. Dagger, Brock, Vince, and Skull also held their breath, because Peter’s seemingly relaxed hand had once made their bodies lose control in this very corridor.“One hundred and fifty million,” Peter said. “The principal debt, the interest you used to scare me, and the nonsense fees you added to make your faces look expensive.”Hector wanted to shout, but his throat felt as if it had caught on a thorn. The young man behind a neighbor’s door whispered softly, “They kicked his door bef
An Old Guest on the Apartment Stairs
Peter Davis returned to the Apartment 307 area when the night had grown deeper. His rented electric bike moved slowly through the narrow road, while his body carried the exhaustion from the clinic, the pill sale, and the long battle against the Bernadus family.He did not feel victorious like someone who had just left a party. The engagement with Amanda had indeed been broken, but that freedom only cut one rotten rope. It did not erase Goro, Margaret Davis, Endi Wang, Doctor Wong, or his own body that had still not fully recovered.Inside his mind, numbers moved without stopping. One hundred and twenty million from selling Forging Qi Pills sounded enormous in the ears of his neighbors, but for Peter, that number had to be divided into medicinal ingredients, Margaret’s hospital fees, a reserve to face Endi’s report, and bargaining room against Goro.He still kept some Forging Qi Pills. The remainder was not fo
The Smell of Shame in a Luxurious House
Helena returned to the dining room with slower steps than when she had gone out. No more sharp commands came from her mouth, only short breaths that she hid behind pride, while Amanda followed from behind with a stiff face.The breakfast table that had been arranged neatly earlier now felt like a stage after a bad performance. Warm bread, sliced fruit, and expensive coffee could not erase the image of Raga and Bima running strongly after eating the pills Amanda had thrown away.The family doctor arrived twenty minutes later. He was a middle-aged man with a neat coat and an expensive medical bag, used to speaking gently to rich families who wanted illnesses to sound less frightening.He checked Helena’s blood pressure, listened to her breathing, then asked about the discomfort in her chest. His face remained calm, but Peter had mentioned the same things last night in simpler language that cut far deeper.“Madam’s blood pressure is still high,” the doctor said. “The burden on the heart
Pride That Fell to the Ground
Helena was still standing on the terrace step when Raga and Bima ran past the hedge with lighter and lighter steps. Every circle made by the two old dogs felt like a small slap to the Bernadus family, because last night, they had thrown away five pills from Peter Davis as if those things were worth no more than dust.Amanda tried to raise her chin. “Grandma, don’t believe it too quickly. Peter may have only guessed the dogs’ condition by coincidence, or perhaps some other medicine worked late.”Mira and Santo exchanged glances without speaking. They had worked in that house for years and knew when to swallow their opinions, but their eyes still conveyed something that made Amanda’s face grow hotter.Helena looked at her granddaughter. “Coincidence can happen once. But old dogs that barely ate yesterday and then run like young guards are not a coincidence that is easy to swallow.”
