"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 word

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

Lily Lohan acted as though Robert Depp had not spoken at all. She strode forward with long, determined steps, her back straight and her jaw set, and the anger she had been holding in all morning simmered just beneath that composed surface. Why had Robert been so reckless? Why had he gone off to kill a man? If he had ended up behind bars for the rest of his life, her family would have been trapped in guilt forever, and there would have been nothing any of them could have done about it.She had spent the whole morning waiting, with her hands folded tight in her lap and her eyes fixed on the door, counting the minutes until it finally opened. She had sworn to herself that she would not cry, no matter what she saw on the other side, and she had kept that promise. Now her legs were still shaking, and the only way she knew how to hide it was to walk faster than anyone could follow.At least now Robert was safe.She could finally breathe again. They did not owe him anything

"Gentlemen, enjoy your drinks. I need to step out for a moment."Mr. Gold patted his two friends on the shoulders, then turned and led Lily Lohan out of the private room. The heavy door swung shut behind them, cutting off the laughter and the clink of glasses. The corridor was dim and quiet, and their footsteps rang loud against the marble floor.They stopped in the small garden just outside the club. The night air was cool, and the hedges still held the damp smell of an earlier rain. Lily folded her arms tightly over her chest and watched Mr. Gold's face, searching it for any sign of hope.Mr. Gold's expression was somber as he faced her. "Lily, I know about Robert Depp killing someone and being arrested. But the fact is, he was caught at the scene, with the evidence right there in front of everyone. There is very little I can do. I am only a man who knows people in certain circles, not someone who can make a case vanish overnight.""Mr. Gold, please." Lily's vo
