2026-06-07 23:16:21When Ken arrived to meet Tony, he was immediately presented with a table full of delicious food, expensive food that he had been unable to afford for the past year because of his meager salary.
Ken immediately ate ravenously without needing any prompting from Tony. Tony himself could only understand as he watched his Young Master devour all the food he had ordered.
Tony could not wrap his head around his Young Master. Ken possessed enormous wealth and a multinational company headquartered in Hong Kong, yet a year ago, Ken suddenly left all of that behind and, with only a modest amount of money, left Hong Kong.
Ken was even recorded as never touching his personal bank account and never contacting or asking for help from Diamond Group branch offices that existed in almost every country.
In the end, it was Tony who was assigned by Maggie Chow, Ken's mother, to search for Ken.
Tony had even formed a team and conducted searches in almost every country in the world. His team scattered everywhere, until one day, Tony remembered something.
Tony recalled that Maggie Chow, Ken's mother, originally came from Indonesia and had the maiden name Maggie Kusuma Chow. Because of that, Ken might have gone to his mother's hometown. Moreover, Ken was very fluent in Indonesian because, since childhood, Maggie Chow had taught him to converse in Indonesian, in addition to Mandarin and English, which were commonly used in Hong Kong.
Tony was very happy when he finally managed to find Ken. However, Tony did not immediately greet Ken. Tony chose to investigate first, the boarding house, the job, Ken's friends, and the places Ken usually went to during this past year. After getting all of that, only then did Tony approach Ken as he did this morning.
"Ken, come home with me. Your mother is asking you to return to Hong Kong immediately. Enough of your hardships this past year. Come home..." Tony said, trying to persuade Ken.
"Who said I'm suffering? I'm not suffering."
"But you're only working as..."
"Being a cleaning service is also a career. If I wanted to, I could apply for a job with my Cum Laude diploma from Harvard. I could immediately get a good job without relying on my family's company. But no, I deliberately didn't do that. I deliberately sought menial work. I deliberately struggled from the bottom like ordinary people."
"What is all that for, Ken? Why are you torturing yourself like that?"
"It's better for me to suffer in the beginning than to suffer in the end. Just look at what happened to me. Two girls that I loved, both of them only wanted my status, only wanted my wealth. One cheated me out of hundreds of millions of dollars, the other made me sell several small companies I tried to build outside of Diamond Group, in my attempt to escape Diamond Group's influence. Those two cases made me think that I have never been truly loved. I was liked because of my status and wealth. Because of that, I am trying to become an ordinary person. I am trying to make a woman love me for who I am, not for what I own."
"But there's no need to take such drastic steps, right? You did experience two heartbreaks in love. The solution is to find someone else, not to disappear like this," Tony protested.
"I deliberately distanced myself from my family, and why? Hah! Because that first girl, I knew her from an arranged marriage set up by my family. What was the result? She cheated me out of hundreds of millions of US dollars. That's the reason I distanced myself from my family. Because my family still hasn't learned their lesson. They want to arrange a marriage for me with another woman, huh!" Ken grumbled.
"Then, why distance yourself from Diamond Group? If you are indeed disappointed with your family and distanced yourself because you don't want to be set up in another arranged marriage, you could live in another country and lead a Diamond Group branch office there. It could be a Diamond Group branch in this country. Right?"
"You still remember that second lover who cheated me, right? I knew her because she became my secretary at my office. And look what happened. She used my trust to take over all the companies I built outside of Diamond Group. That's what made me distance myself from Diamond Group during this escape of mine." Ken gulped down the avocado drink in front of him to chase away his sadness.
"So, what are you looking for in this country?" Tony asked.
"I am looking for my soulmate. A woman who accepts me for who I am. A woman who loves me without my status as the heir to a multinational company called Diamond Group. I am looking for a woman who loves me in my current situation, who accepts me with my current job. Because a woman who accepts me with my current job, I am sure, will never disappoint me," Ken asserted.
"Have you succeeded?" Tony asked.
"I am currently targeting someone. All this time, I deliberately haven't asked her out yet because I want her to see who I really am first. Only then will I start approaching her, and I do plan to start approaching her this very night."
Suddenly, Tony pulled out a cellphone from below and immediately placed it on the table. Then he said, "This is your mother. She wants to talk."
Ken thought for a moment, then he took the phone from Tony's hand and said, "What's up, Mom?"
"Hey! Is this how you speak to your mother, whom you left for a year without any news at all, huh!!!" Maggie Chow said from the other end of the line.
"I'm sorry, Mom. How are you, Mom?"
"Now, that's better. Mommy is fine. It's just your Daddy who is a little sick. How about you?"
"I'm doing fine, Mom."
"Why have you never touched your money? That is your own money."
"I do have money, Mom," Ken denied.
"Money from where, huh? All this time, you have never touched your own bank account. So, where do you get money from, huh? Tell your Mommy."
"I work, Mom. Don't worry about me, Mom."
"Working as a cleaning service, right? Just as Tony said, right? Is your salary enough for your food and all your needs? What about your health? You could starve to death, Ken."
"It's enough, Mom. The proof is, I can live just fine."
"Ugh... don't be like that anymore. One year is enough, Ken. Come home to Hong Kong. Take over Diamond Group before your second uncle succeeds in taking over Diamond Group from us."
"I can't yet, Mom. There is still something I have to do. Just relax, Mom. Once my goal here is achieved, I will immediately return to Hong Kong," Ken asserted.
"You have to lead Diamond Group, Ken," Maggie urged.
"I know. Tony already told me, and there is still time for me before the deadline set by Grandfather. I promise, after my goal is achieved, I will return to Hong Kong," Ken concluded.

"You are truly amazing, Young Master Wong," said Lexie Luthor on the other end of the phone."Stop all of this, Lexie! Do you hear me, Lexie Luthor? Stop everything and invite me wherever you want. I will come there and destroy you. Just you and me!""Hahaha. Calm down. Calm down, Young Master Wong. Do not rush, because to face me, you must pass all the obstacles. But you do not need to wait any longer, because after this, you will face the final obstacle.""Bastard!!! What do you mean?!""After this, I promise our fight will be exclusive between the two of us. No one else will be involved. I promise. But... hahaha. That is after you succeed in passing this obstacle."Lexie Luthor immediately ended the phone connection. Ken immediately put away his phone.For a moment Ken waited with his ears carefully attuned, waiting for the development that would occur.Ken waited for the final obstacle Lexie Luthor had mentioned.Ken was already relieved because the people who had previously faint
377 Footprints that Penetrate the Universe
With a bit of panic because he had to think about the safety of many people in this ballroom, Ken asked Andreas, "Where is Felix? Where are his drones? Why is he not helping me?""I just contacted Felix, young master, and according to Felix, all his drones were destroyed by Lexie Luthor's drones, which are more sophisticated than Felix's, young master.""What?" Ken was stunned by that reality. Because he thought Felix had the most sophisticated drones in the world."Yes, young master. Not only that, but all of Felix's and his team's control devices were destroyed, so even though Felix still has dozens of drones on the private jet at the airport, with the destruction of the drone control devices, Felix cannot operate those drones."Hearing that, Ken felt somewhat weak because he had to protect many people here without the help of Felix's technology, which usually always helped him.This made Ken somewhat worried about what would happen next, with the threat Lexie Luthor had just mentio
376 Overcoming Enemy Drones
After Lex Luthor said that, suddenly the sound of gunfire was heard toward five doors at once in this ballroom.This ballroom had four doors for entry and exit, with one of them being the main door, plus one door leading toward the kitchen.Previously, all those doors had been ordered by Ken to be locked from inside.And this time the sound of simultaneous gunfire was heard toward the 5 doors that existed—the main door, the 3 other doors, plus one door toward the kitchen.Although without seeing the situation outside or whatever was shooting toward the doors leading into this ballroom, Ken immediately knew that the ones shooting toward the doors were drones. All of them were drones.Because Ken could hear the distinctive whirring sound of drones outside. Right in front of the door.At each door, there were those attacked by five drones at once, and even at the main door, attacked by six drones.But Ken knew clearly that the drones coming at this moment were not the wasp-model drones l
375 Ancient K****u vs Modern Technology
This time what Ken heard was not the sound of wasps as before; what Ken heard now was the sound of people who were confused as they stared at their respective phones.Ken immediately felt that something was happening, and that something came from the phones.“Okay, Young Master Wong, the latest development is beginning to occur. Get ready to anticipate it.”Ken realized that the next act was beginning, carried out by Lexie Luthor, and after seeing the moves Lexie Luthor had made earlier and remembering Lexie Luthor’s track record, Ken immediately became alert.Ken waited until suddenly he saw something strange happening to the guests at Gerry and Alexandra’s party, who now looked strange.Previously there had only been a clamor from their mouths as these guests appeared to be calling or chatting with their phones.But now, suddenly they released their respective phones and began hitting each other among the male guests.Ken became confused about what was happening because those people
374 Challenges from Lexie Luthor
Ken heard a sound like that of a great many wasps.It was impossible for something like that to happen in a luxurious hotel like this.The wasps had not yet entered this ballroom, but they were already close, so Ken immediately jumped toward the back door used by the servers to go in and out bringing food into this ballroom.After one jump, Ken immediately ran fast to approach that door. At that moment he saw the wasps arriving.With just one look, Ken immediately knew these wasps were not real wasps.Other people who saw these wasps would surely think they were real wasps because their shape, size, and sound were very similar to real wasps.But Ken, who had vision and hearing far more precise and sharper than ordinary people, immediately knew these wasps were not real but were artificial wasps.Ken realized he was facing a mad scientist who was an expert in creating high-level technology, and that had already been proven by the speakers and lights that could suddenly become means of
373 Attack on the Ballroom
Inside the IT Team room, Felix and his men were still being riddled by shots coming from the air conditioner and the home theater.Felix could only regret that he had not properly checked the condition of this room when he and his team entered it.Felix only now realized that Lexie Luthor had already prepared a trap inside this room to kill him and his team members.Fortunately, the cruel grin on Lexie Luthor’s face that Felix had briefly seen earlier made Felix realize that the mad scientist had prepared something.That grin was also what made Felix realize he had to immediately shout to warn his men to hide under their respective tables.Several of Felix’s men began shooting toward the AC and also the home theater.But those attacks were not effective because the members of this IT team were not skilled in using firearms.Moreover, they were too afraid to raise their heads to look toward the position of the speakers and the home theater, so many of their shots missed.The shooting f
