“So... what’s your role now?” Tyson’s voice was quiet, but sharp enough to slice through the silence. “Did you come here to make sure I don’t die in this room? So tomorrow morning you can say you tried to help me?”Kaylee stared at him, startled. “I didn’t mean it that way.”Tyson let out a small, humorless laugh. “No need to lie, Kaylee. I’m used to it.”He lowered his gaze slightly, looking at his trembling hands resting on his knees. “I used to think you were different from them. But it turns out you just learned how to hurt people in a softer way.”For a moment, there was no sound.Kaylee stood frozen, her face paling. Maybe for the first time in a long while, she didn’t have words to make herself look kind.Then, with a deep breath, she whispered, “I... I just wanted to help.”Tyson lifted his head, meeting her eyes directly. “If you really wanted to help,” he said coldly, “you should’ve done it when I still had hope left for anyone in that house.”His voice was flat, but fill

The two guards gripped Tyson’s arms roughly, dragging him slightly as they led him away. No one spoke. Tyson didn’t resist. His steps were heavy, his gaze empty as if his mind had already left his body.The iron door at the end of the hall creaked open, the sound of grinding metal scraping through the silence. Beyond it, the room greeted him with a wave of cold, damp air.A faint yellow light spilled from an old ceiling lamp, its flicker reflecting weakly on the fractured stone walls.There were no windows, only the single door behind them, which closed with a metallic clang, cutting off the last trace of light from outside.One of the guards shoved his shoulder, while the other kept a firm grip on his arm.“Kneel,” one of them said curtly.Tyson didn’t move not because he was defying them, but because his body felt rigid, numb.The two guards exchanged glances, then forced him down. A hand pressed on his shoulder, another on the back of his knee, pushing him until he fell to the col

Mateo glared at Tyson, his breathing heavy, but what truly made his blood boil wasn’t the words that came out of Tyson’s mouth, it was his expression.Calm. Flat. Not a trace of fear.Once, that boy would always lower his head, silent like a shadow afraid of the light. The moment Mateo raised his voice, Tyson would bow immediately, apologizing even for things that weren’t his fault. And now, that same person stood before him without the slightest hint of submission, as if all the power Mateo once had over him meant absolutely nothing anymore.“Honest?” Mateo repeated, his tone low, a venomous whisper. “You don’t even know what that word means.”His steps were heavy as he moved closer, stopping just inches away from Tyson.“You talk as if you have the right to. As if you still deserve to be here.”Tyson looked at him blankly, as though he couldn’t understand what exactly was making the older man so furious.“I’m not talking about what’s deserved,” he said evenly. “I’m just saying what

The grand staircase of the De Leon villa looked more magnificent than he remembered. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead, scattering light in every direction, making the shadows on the walls resemble fragments of false faces.Each step he took echoed softly against the marble floor, polished to a sterile perfection.The moment he appeared in the great hall, the guests’ conversations fell silent.The guests, family business partners, his father’s old friends, a few prominent names who had come to savor the De Leon family drama, greeted him with smiles brimming with curiosity.Some looked at him politely; others, as though assessing his worth.Mateo De Leon stood at the center of the hall, tall and authoritative in his black suit. To his right stood Martin, wearing a confident smile and a calculating gaze, while Kaylee, on his left, looked elegant in her emerald dress.The three of them looked like a perfect family portrait, and Tyson, walking toward them, was the faint stain that so

Luis didn’t move an inch despite Anna’s outburst. The two guards behind him stood just as still, their postures rigid like their bodies were carved out of steel. The air in the room grew heavy, thick with tension pressing against the four walls.Luis turned his gaze toward Tyson. It was difficult to read somewhere between a subtle threat and a quiet warning. Then, a faint smile curved his lips. On the surface, it looked polite, even gentle, but beneath it lurked something cold and poisonous.“Mr. Tyson,” he said softly, his voice cutting through the air like a thin, sharp whisper, “surely you know what choice is wiser in a situation like this.”He paused, leaning slightly forward. “To surrender and comply… or to resist, and cause unnecessary trouble.”The threat wasn’t shouted or crude, yet it lingered in the air, sharp and unmistakable, like the edge of a blade waiting to strike whoever dared to defy him.Tyson stared back without a word. His eyes were cold, unreadable.Anna, who had

In the depths of unconsciousness, the voice of the system came piercing through the thick fog of his mind.[Ability usage has exceeded the body’s adaptive limit.][Recovery process in progress.]Tyson tried to move his body, but it felt as if he were being dragged underwater. Every muscle resisted his command. His breathing was heavy, his head throbbed in waves of heat and cold that alternated endlessly. All he could do was listen.[System is stabilizing cellular function. It is advised not to activate any ability for the next 48 hours.]Silence hung for a few seconds before the voice returned.[Partial reboot initiated. Synchronizing data with host: 89%... 92%... complete.] [System level: advanced adaptation stage achieved.]Reboot. Level increased.Tyson wanted to ask what it meant, but his mind was too scattered. Behind his closed eyelids, he caught fleeting glimpses of glowing codes flickering like fragments of light… then everything disappeared.No more voice. No more instructio
