2026-06-07 23:21:35"What are you waiting for anyway?" Maggie asked from the other end of the line.
"I want to come home once I have succeeded in winning a woman's heart, Mom," Ken answered.
"Fine then. Just give her one apartment and one car. You'll definitely be able to get her."
"I don't want to do that, Mom. I want her to accept me in my current situation."
"As an office janitor?" Maggie asked.
"Yes, Mom."
"But that will take a long time, Ken! Ugh... Diamond Group could fall into your uncle's hands."
"Hopefully not, Mom. Just pray for me, Mom, so that I can find my soulmate before the end of this year. Okay?"
"Yes, yes. But remember, it cannot go past the end of this year."
"Don't worry, Mom. But, Mom also has to remember, Mom cannot tell the girl I'm targeting about my real status. If Mom does that, I will disappear again, and I'm sure I won't be able to be found by Mom," Ken threatened in a serious tone.
Maggie fell silent on the other end. It seemed Maggie had indeed planned to do exactly what Ken feared. But after hearing Ken's threat, Maggie finally sighed and said, "Alright. Mommy will not contact that girl you're targeting. But remember, if you need to, you can still help that girl secretly with all our branch offices there without needing to tell her. Okay?"
"Okay, Mom. Though it seems that won't be necessary either, but okay. I'll take Mom's suggestion into consideration. I'm going now, Mom."
"Yes. Take good care of yourself there."
"Yes, Mom," Ken said as he ended the phone call with Maggie Chow.
After that, Ken looked at Tony and said, "I'm going to do it."
"What do you mean?" Tony asked while drinking a glass of iced avocado in front of him.
"Today, I'm going to ask Lidya out on a date with me. Something I should have done a long time ago."
"Great. Do it. Do you need me to provide a Lamborghini for this date?"
"No. I'm going to pick her up with my beat-up motorcycle, a used motorcycle I bought from my earnings as a cleaning service, and I'm proud of that motorcycle. Lidya should also be proud when I give her a ride on that motorcycle," Ken asserted.
"Alright. Suit yourself then. But remember, whenever you want, I'll provide a luxury car from various famous brands for you to use," Tony concluded.
"Okay. I'm going now." Ken immediately walked away, leaving Tony, and headed back to his office.
After that, Ken returned to his old routine, mopping floors and being ordered around by other office employees. Sometimes he was asked to photocopy documents, sometimes asked to buy snacks and other things, until the moment Ken had been waiting for arrived, which was office closing time.
The Indonesia Stock Exchange had closed a while ago, and after finishing up the data, usually the stockbrokers, including Lidya, would soon go home from the office, and this was the moment Ken had been waiting for.
Ken had finished his work and chose to wait for Lidya near the main elevator on the ground floor of his office building.
There was a feeling of nervousness and also a feeling of self-doubt in Ken's heart at that moment. But Ken steeled his resolve to approach Lidya, talk to Lidya, and ask Lidya out on a date with him.
"What are you doing here?" someone said from beside Ken.
"Lukman," Ken greeted as soon as he saw who was speaking to him.
"What are you doing here?" Lukman asked again while leaning his body against the wall next to Ken.
"I'm going to follow your words from this morning, Luk."
"Which ones? The time I said Aunt Della is beautiful and I once dreamed about Aunt Della, was that it?"
"No. That was you pouring your heart out yesterday. I meant your words from this morning," Ken answered while still keeping an eye on the elevator door so he wouldn't miss Lidya coming out of that elevator.
"You mean, you're going to confess your feelings to Lidya?"
"Yes. But I mean, not quite confessing my feelings yet. I just want to ask her out on a date first," Ken said with a smile.
"Great. I support you. If you need money, tell me, so we can pray together, because that means we both need money, hahahahah."
Ken could only shake his head hearing Lukman's mostly unserious words. Suddenly, Ken's head shaking stopped when he saw Lidya come out of the elevator.
At that moment, Ken's eyes could not blink at the sight of Lidya's beauty. Lidya's beauty was like a heavenly angel, so much so that Ken forgot to breathe, so mesmerized was he by Lidya.
Ken was so stunned by Lidya that he did not realize when Lidya and her friends had already passed him.
"Hey! Wake up, hey! She's about to leave!" Lukman whispered frantically into Ken's ear.
Hearing Lukman's whisper, Ken immediately snapped out of it and immediately walked quickly to approach Lidya, who as usual was walking with her two friends and staff members, Clara and Yuni.
"Lid... Lidya," Ken greeted from behind.
Lidya turned her body around and immediately smiled when she saw Ken. "What is it, Ken?"
"Um... ahem... may I talk to you?" Ken asked while hoping Clara and Yuni would understand and immediately move away from there. But those two women did not seem understanding at all. They completely did not understand Ken's words and still stood in their places.
Ken looked at Clara and Yuni alternately, but they were still relaxed in their respective spots.
"What do you want to say anyway?" Lidya asked curiously. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ken intently.
"If I may, tonight, I'd like to take you out to dinner," Ken said full of hope while looking into Lidya's beautiful eyes.
Clara and Yuni immediately laughed softly after hearing Ken's words. Both of them felt that Lidya, their friend and superior, would surely reject Ken's request.
"Forgive me, Ken. But I can't," Lidya finally said with a smile toward Ken.
"Hahahaha. Rejected. Hahaha," Yuni immediately burst out laughing very loudly while holding her stomach after hearing Lidya's words.
"Serves you right, doesn't it? Hahaha," Clara chimed in with mocking laughter directed at Ken.
Ken's face immediately fell seeing the two of them laugh. The deliberately loud laughter of Clara and Yuni made a friend of theirs named Billy become interested in joining the crowd. Billy immediately joined in the laughter when he heard what had happened from Clara and Yuni.
"Poor you!!!" Billy said toward Ken, accompanied by mocking laughter from Clara and Yuni directed at Ken.
Seeing that, Ken just smiled thinly and nodded toward Lidya. He hid his disappointment and immediately turned his body to leave Lidya.
"Wait. I meant, tonight I have to go with my mom. But I can go with you tomorrow night," Lidya said from behind.

"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.

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
