The celebratory dinner had never been part of Tyson’s original plan.

He had already been “present” enough by allowing Ravenhart to stand and operate without publicly attaching his name to it.

However, a few people, those who knew exactly who stood behind the company, people who could not simply be ignored, applied subtle yet persistent pressure for him to host a small gathering.

It wasn’t a request. It was their expectation.

And that was what finally made Tyson agree.

He chose one of Pueblo’s five-star hotels, a place exclusive enough to ensure privacy yet neutral enough not to draw unnecessary attention. The invitations were limited, no more than a handful of people who were truly close and relevant.

Scarlett’s condition had improved significantly compared to a few weeks earlier. The injuries that had once been worrying were now little more than faint marks, and the sharpness in her eyes had returned.

She attended, wearing a simple dark dress, elegant without trying too hard.

As soon as the door closed, Tyson did not immediately let Anna go. He held her in place, not with roughness, but with both of his hands steady on her arms, as if making sure she truly existed right in front of him.“What’s going on?” he asked softly. His voice was low and calm. “Who are they?”He added nothing more. Yet in his eyes, many other questions swirled, about timing, about decisions made without him, about how neatly everything had been arranged. None of it was spoken aloud.His tone was not accusatory at all, not blaming. He simply wanted to understand. It wasn’t that he couldn’t ask the system, he just wanted to hear Anna tell the truth herself. He wanted to trust the woman, and to receive her full trust in return.Anna looked at him for a few seconds, as if weighing her words, before finally letting out a breath and lowering her gaze slightly.“I’m sorry,” she said first.She then explained about the agreement she had made earlier with Mr. Hale.“I shouldn’t have made a de

The building loomed silently before him, dull concrete, shattered windows, lights long dead. An abandoned structure the city itself seemed to have forgotten it ever owned.Tyson stopped the car behind the building, the engine still humming softly before he finally shut it off.His chest rose and fell.“This is a gamble,” he thought. If Anna was here, he’d be safe. If not… he would improvise.He got out and hurried along the side of the building, his steps quick but silent, his back pressed against the cold wall with its peeling paint. After only a few steps, his eyes caught the silhouette of a car in the distance, parked half-hidden in the shadows.“System,” he whispered quickly, sharpening his gaze, “can you identify who’s in—”Before the system could answer, the car door opened.Someone stepped out, revealing a figure he immediately recognized.Anna stood beside the car, her face tense. Then, as if to be sure, she raised her hand and gave a small wave, a reassuring signal meant just

The emergency lights hadn’t come on when Orion’s body completely collapsed to the floor. Tyson didn’t waste a second.He knelt, making sure Orion’s breathing was stable, then pulled the dark hoodie off the man’s body. His movements were quick and practiced. Then he swapped shoes, changed pants, even adjusted the way the sleeves were folded and the position of the shoulders.At most, ten minutes, that was the window before the system would reactivate and everything would go chaotic.Tyson dragged Orion to the desk chair in front of the computer. He sat him upright, propping the back with additional supports, tied his wrists to the chair’s arms, then secured his ankles to the desk legs. His head was tilted slightly forward, as if focused on the screen.The hoodie he had been wearing, now on Orion, was pulled low to cover part of his face.From a distance, from the angle of a camera that was now off, Orion looked like he was just working, a convincing enough illusion.Noise began to come

The moment that hand clamped down on his shoulder, Tyson’s body moved faster than his mind.His arm snapped up, catching the wrist before the pressure could fully settle. With one sharp pull, he twisted his torso slightly to the side, wrenching the man’s arm into an unnatural angle.A sharp intake of breath was heard, followed by a strangled groan that turned into a shout as Tyson used the momentum.He rose from the chair in one fluid motion, his shoulder slamming into his opponent’s chest. The man’s balance collapsed. Their bodies spun briefly before both went down, but Tyson was already on top.Tyson’s elbow pressed into the man’s chest, one knee locking his waist in place, while the arm was still twisted back at a punishing angle. The pressure was precise, enough to immobilize, no more, no less.The man screamed in pain, his breathing ragged, anger and humiliation blending into one. His voice echoed through the cramped room, loud enough to trigger chaos.Seconds later, the door bur

Tyson was moved out of that room without many words. His head was covered tightly again, dark fabric wrapping around his vision, erasing direction and distance.It was not without reason. Slyvn had heard, and read, about Tyson’s past four years ago, about his involvement with the police and the unconventional methods he supposedly possessed, a strange way of “knowing” things.Whether it was instinct, pattern recognition, or something else that could not be explained by simple logic, Slyvn had no intention of taking risks.As a precaution, all possibilities of direct contact were cut off.Tyson was not allowed to see. He was not allowed to recognize voices. He was not allowed to catch any details that could be stored in his mind.His hands were also bound behind his back throughout the transfer, fully restricting his movement.When the covering was finally removed, Tyson was already inside a room clearly designed not for comfort, but for function.A work desk stood in the middle of the
Chapter 163
Under Slyvn’s contemplative gaze and the undisguised aura of violence emanating from his subordinates, Tyson remained seated with the same calm, almost relaxed demeanor.“If you doubt me,” Tyson finally said, his voice low but clear, “you can look into me in Valenbourg.”Slyvn stared at him without expression.“My business. My official trail,” Tyson continued. Then, with the same calm, he mentioned, “Ravenhart.”He lifted his shoulders slightly, as if talking about something trivial.“Unlike before, this time my existence isn’t completely concealed. So I think it won’t be difficult for you to find information about Ravenhart.”It wasn’t a bluff. It was a cold calculation. In a situation like this, where he could die at any moment, Tyson could only offer something bigger, and Ravenhart was one of them.It wasn’t that he was afraid of dying; it was just that his main goal had not yet been achieved. Not to mention, he missed someone.Slyvn did not respond immediately. His eyes remained f
