Tyson sat listlessly in solitary confinement, the madness in his eyes gradually fading, but the anger in his heart still burning fiercely.

He despised the reality that he had been so foolish in the past, oblivious to everything.

In the past, to prevent his father from being disturbed, he always acted as if he didn't exist. To avoid threatening his brother as an heir, he relinquished all his opportunities. To ensure his sister wouldn't be shunned by others, he took the initiative to keep his distance.

Yet, his sacrifices meant nothing. Worse yet, he was to be killed.

"Why do you think someone in my family wants to kill me?" Tyson asked the system.

Before the system could answer, Tyson guessed first, "It must be my brother, right? He wants to kill me because he cares so much about the De Leon family name, whereas my existence only tarnishes it."

[Possibly.]

Hearing the system's response, Tyson pondered again but couldn't find another answer.

He sighed deeply for the umpteenth time, closed his eyes, and said to reassure himself, "Whoever it is, they are the ones who made me like this. I will take away what they value most."

"My father cherishes his position in the De Leon family as the head because it gives him power, so I will take it from him. My brother cares deeply about the De Leon family, its reputation, and his status, so I will ruin it. As for my sister...."

Tyson fell silent. He didn't know what his sister valued most, but he knew that she was largely responsible for shaping him into who he was now.

Yes, his sister was the one who quietly pushed him to become melancholic and withdrawn, the weakest and most powerless in his family.

"My sister is very skilled at manipulating others' feelings...."

After saying that, he fell asleep. The next day, Tyson spent the entire day contemplating what he would do next, while the system also informed him of some important information. Whether it was open information or classified information.

When he went out the next morning, Tyson couldn't wait to return to his cell and clean himself up, then go get some food. He was very hungry.

"You're still alive," someone said mockingly when they saw Tyson.

The problems in the special room were unknown to ordinary prisoners, so no one knew that Tyson was no longer the Tyson who was easily intimidated, even if his posture hadn't changed much.

Tyson ignored them and walked past. He didn't even realize someone was talking to him.

Annoyed at being ignored, the person grabbed Tyson's shoulder, and a few people blocked his path.

"Yo, besides being a coward, are you deaf and blind now too?"

Tyson stared at the man, Brother J's right-hand man, who usually enjoyed tormenting him. There was a dark disgust in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" the man retorted sharply. It wasn't just him who could feel a change in Tyson, but no one cared.

To them, Tyson was still the coward who would cry and plead when intimidated.

"Don't block my way," Tyson said nonchalantly, pushing the man aside, startling those who saw it.

Someone even said, "Are you brave now? Don't you remember what you looked like that night?"

"Hey, hey, don't tell me you've been reborn?"

Tyson closed his eyes for a moment, then when he opened them again, he grabbed the man's arm in front of him, twisted it, and pushed him against the wall. It was all done in one swift motion, then he whispered, "Enjoy being Brother J's whore?"

"W-what... what are you saying? Nonsense!"

"Yo, don't get mad. I know everything. Last night, in the backyard-"

"Shut up!" As the man shouted, several people beside him tried to attack Tyson, but they were easily defeated.

The corridor suddenly became crowded. Some prisoners who had been in the cafeteria came out to see what was happening, while others heading to the cafeteria stopped when they saw the fight.

However, this time, the outcome of the fight exceeded their expectations.

"Is he still the guy we knew?"

"Doesn't seem like that coward, right?"

"Oh, oh, am I seeing things? Isn't he usually the one being bullied, why is he like this now?"

"Shh, here comes Brother J..."

Brother K stopped them, but he didn't blame Tyson or defend his men. Although he wasn't there last night, he had enough connections with the Big Boss's people to know what had happened. He wasn't as foolish as his friends.

Clearly, someone who could defeat so many people couldn't be ordinary, they must be insane.

Tyson, who managed to take down half of them, despite receiving some wounds to his face, still grinned and wiped the corners of his mouth without emotion.

"I'm no longer patient and tolerant," Tyson said as he walked away under the gaze of various people.

He wasn't actually strong, he just no longer held back and had no fear, so he could face them confidently.

Taking his food and sitting in a less conspicuous place, Tyson paid no attention to the people whispering about him.

Some people came to sit at his table. Someone reached out to touch his shoulder, but Tyson gripped the person's wrist first. As Tyson touched the person, scenes flashed through his mind like a film.

He suddenly widened his eyes, it was a big secret.

The person in front of him shouldn't be ordinary.

    Tyson left the Carter family’s corporate building without haste. The glass doors closed behind him, briefly catching his reflection before dissolving back into the city’s busy flow. As soon as his shoes touched the sidewalk, he took out his phone.Tyson: What do you want for dinner tonight? I can pick it up on the way back to the office.Anna’s reply came quickly, almost without pause, followed by a long string of messages. A list of menu items scrolled across the screen, names that sounded familiar, dishes currently trending online, places with long queues and photos that kept resurfacing on everyone’s feed.Tyson skimmed through them, then typed a single word in response.Tyson: Okay.He slipped the phone back into his pocket and headed toward one of the restaurants Anna had mentioned. Inside, he placed his order with minimal conversation, waiting patiently despite the crowd pressing in around him.A few people glanced his way, some because of the line, others because he looked unfa

    Victor stepped inside with steady strides, the door closing behind him with a soft yet decisive sound. He wore a neatly tailored dark suit, his hair slicked back without a single strand out of place. An air of authority clung to him, the kind of presence that made a room feel instantly smaller.“Uncle Victor,” Elias rose halfway from his chair on instinct. The address slipped out naturally, making their closeness clear without needing further explanation.Victor gave a brief nod in response. His gaze swept the room, passing over the bookshelves, Elias’s desk, the stacks of documents in the corner, as if assessing whether anything had changed since his last visit. Then his eyes stopped.On the sofa near the window, Tyson sat in a relaxed posture, one leg crossed over the other, a thin folder placed neatly beside him. His expression was calm, too calm for someone who was clearly not part of the company’s official executive structure.Victor’s brow lifted, almost imperceptibly.“What bri

    Tyson stepped into the lobby of the Carter family’s company with his usual calm stride. The receptionist, who had received a message from Elias earlier, immediately stood to greet him politely, just before a young assistant approached Tyson.“Mr. Tyson, Mr. Elias asked me to fetch you directly,” the assistant said quickly, a little nervous.Tyson only nodded, his expression flat as he replied, “Alright.”Several pairs of eyes around the lobby subtly glanced in their direction. No one dared to show open curiosity, but hushed whispers had already begun to spread.Tyson’s face and presence were like a transparent stranger in this country, no one knew who he was or what his status might be. To them, he was an outsider, someone not belonging to any prominent family.Yet he was being personally escorted by Elias Carter’s assistant? That alone was enough to make certain individuals in the company’s elite circle, who heard about the incident through their own people, frown and reassess who th

    After Davin left, the office door closed again with a soft click. Silence settled into the room, broken only by the hum of the AC and the faint rustle of papers touched by the air. Anna was still at the front desk, now without the formal expression she usually maintained when someone else was around.Once she confirmed it was just the two of them, she pulled out her phone quickly, like someone who had been holding something in for a while.“Boss,” she said in a playful, teasing tone as she walked closer, her lips lifting into a wide grin, “look at this.”She turned the screen toward Tyson.A large number was clearly displayed. Incoming transfer. Down payment.Sender: Elias Carter.There was a flicker of satisfaction in Anna’s eyes—not a loud triumph, but the smile of someone who knew she had just marked an important milestone in her life.“Our first client,” she whispered, almost in awe. “Our first income. And… it’s pretty good.”Tyson looked at the screen for a moment. No notable exp

    The moment Elias’s car disappeared around the corner, Tyson remained standing in front of the glass door. From the outside, he looked as if he were simply waiting for the wind to pass.Inside his mind, the system spoke again:[Target moving. Position shift: 3 meters backward. Heart rate is increasing.]Tyson blinked once.That was all.Then he vanished from sight, sliding to the side of the building without a sound. No supernatural ability, just the efficiency of a man who knew how to cut through space and time with the right steps.The man stalking him was half-hidden between the shadows of two buildings, eyes fixed on the entrance where Tyson had just been. His breathing was short, nervous. He looked like someone who had just realized that today’s assignment was far more dangerous than what had been briefed to him.“Waiting for a report from afar isn’t accurate.”The voice came from behind him.The man reflexively reached for his waist, searching for something, perhaps a small knife

    Once the three of them sat down, Tyson didn’t speak right away. He opened the folder slowly, his fingers moving with an unhurried calm, as if he held complete control over the pace of the room.Elias looked restless, his knee bouncing lightly, while the middle-aged man behind him stood unmoving, like an old pillar that had weathered too many storms to be shaken anymore.Tyson finally lifted his gaze.“The Carter Corporation is standing on… slippery ground.”He didn’t look at Elias. He looked directly at the man behind him, the only person in the room who clearly carried real authority.Elias opened his mouth, maybe wanting to explain something, but the older man raised a hand slightly. A small gesture, yet enough to make Elias fall silent immediately.Tyson continued, his voice flowing like water, calm, but with unmistakable direction.“Your father’s health is faltering. Your brother… is making too much unnecessary noise.”He turned a page of the report.“And the board has started to
