2026-06-07 23:31:21"Tony? What are you doing dressed as a waiter like that?" Ken was very shocked to see Tony's presence there.
"So I can monitor you, Young Master. Escort you here," Tony answered.
"Escort or eavesdrop on people's conversations, huh?"
"Both, Young Master. Because Madam Maggie asked me to continuously monitor Young Master's progress with Young Master's chosen lady, so that... in Madam Maggie's terms, Young Master's choice of heart can be executed as soon as possible..."
"Executed?" Ken cut him off. "Don't tell me my choice of heart is going to be killed," Ken grumbled.
"That's just a figure of speech, Young Master. What Madam means is, once Young Master has established a romantic relationship with Young Master's choice of heart, then Young Master's choice will immediately be brought to Hong Kong to marry you, Young Master, so that Young Master can immediately take over the leadership of Diamond Group from Madam."
"No. This is still too early. I need to test her heart more deeply."
"But from Young Master's conversation with her earlier, I came to the conclusion that this girl loves Young Master for who you are, even though Young Master is only a cleaning service. Isn't that right? That means she loves you sincerely, Young Master, without the trappings of Young Master's wealth and status in Hong Kong. Isn't that right?"
"Yes. This is a good point for Lidya. But I'm still not satisfied. I want to test her love more deeply, so I'm not going to reveal my true identity to her yet. It's not yet time," Ken asserted.
Tony appeared to be speaking into the earphone he had placed in his ear. After that, he asked, "Then when, Young Master? Madam is asking." Tony pointed to his earphone.
"So, you're communicating with my mother?"
"Yes, Young Master. Since earlier, the conversation between Young Master and the young lady named Lidya has been continuously monitored by me and directly connected to Madam Maggie. I'm also using a camera on my shirt collar so she can see and hear everything, Young Master."
Hearing Tony's confession, Ken could only shake his head at his mother's behavior. "Could it be that later on my wedding night, my mother will want to supervise too. Good grief. That mother of mine," Ken lamented in his heart.
"So what is the answer, Young Master?" Tony asked again.
"Definitely not past the end of this year. Starting now, I will continue to test Lidya's love for me, and I promise not to go past the deadline given by Grandpa. Now, you go. Lidya is coming back."
"Yes, Young Master." Tony immediately moved away to another part of the restaurant. But after Ken was no longer looking at him, Tony took off the waiter's vest he was wearing and returned near Ken to stealthily get close to Ken again.
"Waiter, please get me the bill. I'll give you a tip later," a man said while raising his hand toward Tony.
"I'm not your waiter!" Tony glared.
"Hey, weren't you just wearing a waiter's uniform?"
"You've got the wrong person! Go get your eyes checked at the nearest repair shop!" Tony snapped, leaving the man while somewhat sneaking toward the area behind Ken.
The man was left confused by Tony's words. "Get my eyes checked at a repair shop? Why not just get them checked at a movie theater too? Good grief, how baffling."
Finally, Tony managed to get a seat behind where Ken was sitting and was ready to once again follow the conversation between Ken and Lidya.
Lidya sat back down gracefully in front of Ken and began eating the food on the table. After finishing her meal, Lidya started teaching Ken the basics of becoming a stockbroker.
Ken listened attentively, like someone who had never learned about the procedures of being a stock trader. In the past, Ken's name had been very famous on the international stock exchange as a stockbroker who had once shaken up the stock market due to Ken's genius in stock predictions with 100 percent accuracy, something only two people in the world stock market possessed, and Ken was one of them.
When Tony heard Lidya teaching Ken how to become a stock trader from the very basics, Tony immediately burst out laughing. "Oh dear. This is a case of a minnow teaching a shark how to hunt prey in the ocean," Tony thought to himself.
Ken heard someone laughing behind him, so he moved to look back. But Tony had already ducked down and pretended to be coughing, so Ken turned back to face Lidya.
"So, those are the basics, Ken. Have you understood?" Lidya asked while looking at Ken attentively.
"Yes. I'm starting to understand little by little. Please understand, I didn't go to a high level of school, so I'm somewhat slow at learning. But don't worry. I will keep studying so I don't disappoint you." Ken was being humble.
"Good. And don't worry. The important thing is that you keep learning. You'll understand eventually. I will also keep guiding you once you've joined my team."
"Okay. I like that."
"This Monday morning, as soon as I get to the office, I'll propose adding a new member to my team. Then I'll propose that you enter a training class. Later, my friend will teach you more deeply about stock trading. I hope that after three days, you can already join my team, so that when my parents find out about our relationship, there won't be any rejection from them. Because..."
"Because what?" Ken asked curiously.
"Forgive me for having to say this, but I'm somewhat worried about your job. I'm worried my parents will look down on you if they find out you're only..."
"Only a cleaning service?"
"I personally don't have a problem with it. I swear, Ken. I don't have a problem. What I'm worried about is my parents."
"For me, what's important is that you accept me for who I am, with my profession. Because that's what matters most to me. Even if your parents look down on me, I won't ever be disappointed, as long as you still accept me." Ken looked at Lidya with deep emotion.
"You won't mind even if you're insulted and looked down upon by my parents?" Lidya asked.
"As long as you're not ashamed of me, I won't be ashamed of myself either. I'll accept it if I indeed have to be insulted and looked down upon by your family. As long as you're not ashamed and don't leave me."
Lidya smiled, held Ken's hand, and said, "I will never be ashamed, and I will never leave you just because of your profession. I would immediately leave you if you had another woman, but I will hold on if it's only because of your job. Because love comes from the heart. Once I love, I will keep loving, regardless of who you are."
Ken smiled broadly. Ken felt very happy. "This is the most beautiful day for me."
"Why is that?" Lidya asked, wanting to know.
"Because today, I found a woman who is willing to accept me for who I am."
Two pairs of eyes met, gazing lovingly at each other, with the grip of their hands growing ever tighter between the two of them. Two hearts had become intertwined into one, so they felt as if at that moment, the world belonged to just the two of them.

There was a tremendous wind wave that came out at the same time as the door marked 18 in front of Ken opened.The tremendous wind wave immediately struck toward Ken, so if he had not possessed high inner energy, he might have been thrown far from up here down below.It was just that because Ken had strong inner energy, he was not thrown downward, but later, he let his body be thrown downward after he thought about John McClane’s safety.Ken used the wind force to go down past John McClane, making John McClane wide-eyed with fear. John McClane thought Ken had fallen.At this moment, Ken was already near several ninjas coming upward and almost approaching John McClane’s position.Seeing that, Ken immediately grabbed the stair railing.After that, he only grabbed the stair railing for a second because his feet immediately flew out to kick toward the 4 ninjas coming up the stairs.Those 4 ninjas were thrown because there was a strong wind vortex from both of Ken’s feet.This thick cloud-s

Because he was too eager to go downstairs, John McClane quickly left Ken behind, while the enemy from below was also in a hurried pace, so they were about to meet each other.This was not what Ken wanted, so Ken immediately jumped downward quickly so that Ken would be the first to face the people coming from below, who were likely the robbers.John McClane was very shocked when he saw someone jump beside him, and he immediately realized that person was Ken.John McClane thought Ken had fallen from above when he passed him. But when he saw below that Ken suddenly held on to a stair railing with one hand without falling, John McClane was shocked.At this moment Ken was already very close to the people coming upward; Ken’s eyes met theirs.And it turned out those people were people dressed as ninjas, and this meant those people were enemies.Therefore, Ken hurriedly planted his feet on the stairs and jumped to attack the ninjas, all of whom were complete with their legendary ninja masks.

What Ken had been waiting for had happened. The only person outside who was with the robbers began to speak.This was what Ken had been waiting for since earlier, so he immediately listened carefully to the words of those people.And it turned out that person really was a hostage. At this moment, he was being forced to show how to open the door to the rooftop floor.It turned out that person was one of the employees at this bank in the general affairs department, and now he was being pulled upstairs toward the upper floor, and that was something Ken could not allow.“Then what about the people shooting over there?” one of the robbers was heard asking his friend.“Leave the ones there. They definitely will not dare come out. Let only 3 people guard here with firearms ready to be fired at them if they dare come out of that room. The rest come to the rooftop with me.”After Ken heard the words of the leader of that robber group, of course Ken could not let this happen.The robbers who ha

PRRRAAAANNNGGGA loud sound of shattering glass was heard when John McClane had wrapped his hand with the suit jacket he was wearing and slammed it against the glass.After that, John McClane quickly succeeded in seizing the long-barreled firearm held by one of the robbers outside the window.But even though John McClane had moved as fast as he could, it was still not fast enough for John McClane, so a robber succeeded in shooting John.John McClane was fortunate because when he broke the window glass, Ken immediately became alert and stood ready to give John McClane help.Therefore, when the bullet from the robber shooting John McClane was aimed at John McClane’s head while he was busy seizing another robber’s firearm, Ken immediately threw a small cloud.This small cloud then became a shield for John McClane’s almost bald head, so John’s head survived the enemy’s shot.John McClane, who was not very aware of what had happened to him, immediately shot with the firearm he was using to
398 Helping Two Hostages
Hearing the sound of many people’s footsteps, Ken was worried about the safety of John McClane and the other man, so he immediately invited the two of them to move away from the place where he had killed the ninjas earlier.“Why?” John McClane asked, confused, while looking at Ken full of questions.The two of them did not have ears like Ken; they did not hear the sounds of footsteps on the stairs below. Only Ken could hear those footsteps, because the sound of those footsteps was still somewhat far from this floor.“Someone is coming. We have to hide. Come on,” Ken said while pointing inward.John McClane followed Ken’s words, as did the East Asian man around 40 years old who later introduced his name as Chen Long.The three of them moved away from the door they had just passed through to go deeper into the floor where Ken had met the ninjas earlier.Ken still walked somewhat slowly; he kept telling John McClane and Chen Long to keep walking forward.But Ken was afraid that the sound
397 John Mc Clane
Those two people, especially the East Asian man around 40 years old, appeared to be saying something.Not a single sound was made by those two people, but from the movement of their lips, Ken immediately knew what the two of them meant.Apparently those two people were two hostages, and according to them, they had succeeded in finding firearms and they would soon shoot the ninjas from behind.They asked Ken to shoot together toward the ninjas in front of Ken.Ken began to see the two people starting to draw handguns. The position of the two people was behind the 6 people dressed as ninjas but not wearing face coverings.But unfortunately, one of the ninjas, the one at the very back, succeeded in seeing the movement of these two hostages, so the ninja immediately threw a kind of secret ninja weapon.The secret weapon was a sharp star-shaped object that could be thrown to kill its opponent.This development actually made Ken panic because Ken knew how dangerous that star-shaped weapon w
