2026-08-31 21:00:01"Stop it right now!" Austin Lohan bellowed, his voice suddenly cutting through the chaotic panic in the cramped living room.
Brit Lohan froze, the wooden broom stopping inches from Robert Depp's head. Her hands trembled as she lowered it, stunned by her husband's sudden command. Robert was calmly kneeling on the cold floor, skillfully inserting silver needles into specific pressure points along Austin's paralyzed, withered legs.
"My legs... they don't hurt anymore," Austin stamm

"Hey, who do you think you are? Pointing and bossing people around is one thing, but now you're putting your hands on the board?"The old man across the table had no backup, and he immediately placed his hands on his hips, eyes flashing with indignation. His weathered face flushed with color, and the other elderly spectators around the table shifted uncomfortably, unsure whether to intervene or simply enjoy the spectacle.Lily Lohan turned around and glanced at Robert, then said, "Mr. Osborne, this is my supervisor. He's the one who sent me here to work."The tension in the air shifted immediately. Mr. Osborne's aggressive posture relaxed slightly, though his eyes remained sharp and assessing as he studied the younger man."Oh, so you're Ms. Lohan's boss!"Mr. Osborne coughed and bent over the board again. His gnarled fingers moved slowly across the pieces as he retraced the sequence of moves that had just unfolded. After studying Robert's latest move, he fi

The next morning, Robert Depp arrived at Northgate Group.The moment employees caught sight of him striding through the glass entrance doors, surprise rippled across their faces like a stone tossed into still water. Word had spread through the office grapevine that Robert had been arrested for murder. The rumors had been specific, detailed, whispered in hushed tones over coffee and lunch breaks. How could he possibly be walking through the building now, dressed in his usual crisp suit, his posture relaxed, as if nothing had happened?News like that always traveled fast in an office, and it grew sharper and uglier with every retelling.Mia Bennett was the first to approach him, her heels clicking against the polished floor as she hurried forward. Her expression wavered between confusion and concern. "Mr. Depp, weren't you taken in for..." She trailed off mid-sentence, her voice faltering as common sense caught up with her tongue. She wisely clamped her mouth shut, but

Three hundred million dollars for two plots of land.Garrett Lohan turned sharply to face Logan Lohan, his tone cutting. "Have you lost your mind?"The words sliced through the room, sharp enough to make the air feel thinner. Logan stood behind his father, spine straight, hands clasped loosely at his sides. He met Garrett's gaze without flinching, his voice steady despite the weight of the accusation pressing down on him."Dad, these two properties are in prime locations. Sure, they're not worth three hundred million, but they're easily worth over a hundred million. I spent an extra hundred million, yes, but in doing so, I secured Mr. Zero's project. That means we get the eighty million dollar investment, establish a long-term partnership with Foster Group, and most importantly, we position Mooncrest Group to multiply its market value several times over. This isn't reckless spending. It's an investment, and a sound one at that."His words hung in the air, calcula

Mr. Gold looked up sharply, catching the brief flicker of emotion that crossed Robert Depp's face. It lasted barely a second, but it was enough. "Mr. Depp, is something wrong?"Robert smoothed his expression back into its usual calm mask and waved a dismissive hand. "Nothing to worry about." A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I just find this whole situation rather amusing, that's all. Since they want to play games, we'll play along, and we'll play better than they expect."Mr. Gold had heard that tone before. It was the tone Robert used when he was already three steps ahead of whoever thought they held the upper hand.He said nothing more. Men in his position learned early that some questions cost far more than they were worth, and the look in Robert's eyes was one of them.Robert tapped his fingers on the armrest, thinking. "Later, I want you to pick thirty of your men for me. Men with solid physical foundations, the kind who can handle themselve

In Liverton, at a bathhouse that kept its doors well away from the main streets, the air was thick with steam. It was so dense that it clung to the walls and pooled in the corners like fog, pressing down on everything and turning every breath into an effort. Somewhere in the back, water dripped in slow, rhythmic beats against tile.Black Dragon reclined in the center of the steam room, a towel draped loosely across his lap. Sweat poured down his skin in rivulets, tracing the edges of an elaborate Black Dragon tattoo that coiled across nearly every inch of his body. The ink covered so much of him that it was difficult to tell where flesh ended and art began. The Dragon's scales seemed to shift in the steam, its claws flexing with each slow breath he took. In the hazy heat, the effect was unsettling, almost monstrous. He looked less like a man and more like something ancient that had crawled out of myth and decided to stay.His eyes were closed, his breathing steady. He didn

Robert Depp glanced at Lily Lohan but said nothing. Instead, he turned to her parents, offering a small, respectful nod."Thank you both for everything these past few days. ""It's nothing. You helped us too," Austin Lohan said with a sigh, waving his hand dismissively. His weathered face carried the weight of recent events, lines deepening around his eyes. "What's done is done. Let's not dwell on it anymore."Lily had been on the verge of demanding Robert leave again, the words forming on her tongue, when she noticed him crouching beside her father. He was examining Austin's leg injury with careful attention, his hands moving with practiced precision. There was something almost reverent in the way he worked, a focused intensity that caught her off guard." Sir, when you forced yourself to stand at the hot pot restaurant, you put tremendous strain on your leg. The willpower you showed came at a cost," Robert said, his tone professional yet concerned. His fingers
