Chapter 128
Tyson did not respond to the invitation at all. He simply took Anna’s hand, his fingers closing calmly yet firmly around hers, and walked past Joe as if the man did not exist.His steps were steady, his shoulders straight, the posture of someone who had made a decision and had no intention of looking back.That was what ignited Joe’s anger.In his twenties, Joe was the kind of man who grew up believing the world could be conquered. He had tasted success too early, largely propped up by his family’s name, and that was enough to convince him that money and pressure could buy anything, including people.Tyson’s attitude felt like a slap to the face.“Tyson,” he called sharply, quickening his pace to catch up. But instead of grabbing Tyson, Joe’s hand clamped down roughly on Anna’s wrist.The pull was sudden and forceful.Anna stumbled backward, nearly falling. Her grip on Tyson broke, the sound of her shoes scraping against the restaurant floor cutting sharply through the air. A few head

Gavin had just disappeared beyond the door when Tyson rose from his seat.He left his office and walked along the corridors of the Ravenhart headquarters, which were now far more alive than they had been a year ago. Behind the glass walls, several staff members were busy with their respective screens, the sound of footsteps and low conversations forming a constant backdrop. The new office made one thing clear, Ravenhart was no longer a small team that could move without leaving a trace.Tyson stopped in front of a door with a nameplate beside it.Anna.He knocked once before opening the door.Anna was reviewing a report on her tablet, her hair neatly tied back. The room was simple, functional, and arranged with a precision that reflected the way its owner thought.“Are you busy?” Tyson asked.Anna looked up, then shook her head slightly. “There are still a few things to wrap up, but nothing urgent. Why?”“Lunch outside,” Tyson replied briefly.Anna studied him for a few seconds, as

Within a year and a half, Ravenhart grew far beyond what many had expected.The name began circulating in the right circles, not in the media, not through cheap rumors, but from one closed-door conversation to another, from exclusive boardrooms to the private dining rooms of influential figures. Ravenhart was known not for its advertising, but for its results.Along with that growth, their office moved as well.It was not a relocation for comfort, but a necessity. In the early months of Ravenhart’s rise, they had stepped on too many toes. Deals were disrupted, power lines cut, long-standing interests forced to change direction each action inviting retaliation.Anonymous threats. Warning messages. Even intimidation that crossed into the personal sphere. Once, someone sent an unmarked package to the apartment where Tyson and Anna lived, enough to make them realize that the boundary between business and personal safety had already blurred.That became the turning point.Tyson did not wai

Mr. Hale kept Tyson with him until lunchtime.Not by force, but in a subtler way, through light conversation that felt more like a social obligation than an invitation.In the end, they had lunch outside the yacht, at a seaside restaurant where salty wind swept across the table, carrying the metallic scent of the docks.Tyson ate without saying much. Anna did the same.It was as if their bodies were present, but their minds had been left behind in the room before.When the meal was over, Mr. Hale was the first to stand.“I won’t keep you any longer,” he said as he straightened his jacket and set his cane upright. His tone was light, but his eyes were not.He shook Tyson’s hand once more, then gave a small nod to Anna.As Tyson and Anna walked away, Mr. Hale remained where he was, watching Tyson’s back slowly disappear into the flow of people along the pier.He let out a long breath.I can only take you this far, he thought.The rest… is no longer my concern.…The car drove away from
Chapter 124
Tyson remained silent for a long time.His gaze lowered, not truly focused on anything in front of him. Mr. Hale’s words lingered in the air, soft, yet heavy, drawing something out from the depths of his memory, a place he rarely allowed himself to touch.He tried to remember his grandfather.Not as the Old Man De Leon known to the outside world, a man of great name, rigid principles, and an unyielding reputation, but as the only person in that family who ever gave him warmth.The only one.In the vast De Leon household, cold and bound by countless unspoken rules, his grandfather had been the exception. The one who never distinguished between him and his siblings. Who spoke his name gently, not as a tool, not as a variable.The one who stood in front of him when others saw him as an anomaly. Who sat beside him without questions, without judgment, when the world around him felt too narrow to breathe in.His grandfather would defend him. Would stay by his side. Regardless of what others

Tyson did not deny the remark outright, but neither did he nod in agreement.He simply looked at Mr. Hale with a calm, steady gaze, as if the words just spoken were not a confession, but merely a placement on a board where positions could still shift.“If that’s the case,” he replied at last, his voice measured, “then I’m only making sure I don’t step onto the wrong square.”There was no excessive ambition in his tone, no false modesty, only caution.Mr. Hale studied his reaction for a few seconds longer, then smiled faintly, like someone who had just confirmed something important.“Good,” he said briefly.He lifted his hand slightly, signaling toward the door. Without the need for further explanation, the assistant standing guard outside knocked once and entered, waiting quietly for instructions.“Have breakfast sent here,” Mr. Hale said calmly.The assistant nodded quickly and withdrew.Mr. Hale turned his attention back to Tyson.“There’s no need to rush into our business,” he said
