Albert almost laughed seeing how quickly Tasya had become familiar with Astrid. In the past, their relationship had been full of tension and arguments. But now, the girl kept sticking close to Astrid as if they had been close friends for a long time.“Come on… let’s go inside first. We’ll talk in the family room,” Albert said softly while shaking his head slightly. After that, his gaze shifted behind him. “Seila, Riska… from now on, you will remain as Lady Tasya’s personal maids. And you, Jirkof, return to Elliot’s side.”“Yes, Sir!” the three of them answered in unison.Jirkof left immediately without saying much. Albert had deliberately arranged it that way. All of the personal maids at Rose Villa were women, so Jirkof’s presence as Tasya’s personal servant would obviously create a lot of awkwardness.As for Albert’s reason for choosing Seila and Riska, it was very simple. They were not just maids. They were protectors.In an emergency, only Seila and Riska had sufficient combat abi
Chapter 171
Several days passed peacefully at Albert’s residence. There were no more disturbances from the assassins-for-hire or from any parties intending to trouble his women. It was as if the storm that had previously shaken the State of Anarka had finally begun to subside.Under the new government, the State of Anarka was slowly showing signs of stability. The new officials had been formally inaugurated, while the old institutions that had long been hated by the people—such as the police, the prosecutor’s office, and various other corrupt institutions—had been dissolved without a trace.In their place, new institutions were established with a much clearer vision: to protect and serve the people.Now, in Anarka, there was no longer a police institution. In its place stood a Law Enforcement Agency that operated entirely in the public interest. The House of Representatives had also been officially abolished, since its existence had long been considered nothing more than a parasite draining the s

Meanwhile, at Elias Vargas’s luxurious residence, the atmosphere felt very quiet and oppressive. The old man sat in his large office chair, staring at his phone screen with a cold look in his eyes.Displayed on the screen was an assassination mission released by Sandro on the Dark Web. There was only one target—Albert Yanaga.What frustrated Elias, however, was the fact that almost a month had passed, yet no one had been able to complete the mission.Even though the bounty kept increasing every week until it reached an astounding amount, the result remained the same.Failure.All the hired killers who tried to approach Albert seemed to vanish from the world without a trace.“In this world...,” Elias muttered softly, his brow furrowed. “Is there really not a single assassin who can kill him?”His gaze turned dark. “Not even a single attempt to kidnap one of his women has succeeded....”BANG!Annoyed, Elias threw his phone onto the table, where it spun around several times.“Jira!” he c
Chapter 169
Seeing the surprised expressions on Nanase’s and his uncle’s faces, Albert Yanaga only gave a faint smile in response. As if all of it were perfectly normal to him.Because deep down, Albert already knew exactly what the Ittoryu Clan’s internal situation was like right now—fragile, prone to division, and on the brink of collapse.Hitosi took a deep breath before finally speaking. “Mr. Yanaga, may I contact the Clan Leader and the Elders of the Ittoryu Clan first?” he asked cautiously. “After all, I do not have the authority to decide something this important on my own.”Albert stood up from the sofa with a relaxed motion. His hand took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, then lit one without any hurry.“Just don’t take too long,” he said calmly as he exhaled a thin stream of smoke. “Once you have an answer, meet me in the back courtyard.”After saying that, he walked away and left the room.Hitosi and Ryu’s gazes unconsciously followed Albert’s back until it disappeared behind the v
Chapter 168
Hitosi and Ryu felt a terrifying pressure crashing down upon their bodies. The air in the room seemed to transform into an invisible ocean of iron, pressing in from every direction. Cold sweat streamed down their temples as they stared at each other, their faces pale with disbelief.The young man they had just looked down upon... apparently possessed strength far beyond their imagination.Nanase, noticing her uncle starting to have trouble breathing, immediately ran over to Albert. "Albert, stop it. Release them... don't make them any more terrified," she urged hastily.Albert's cold gaze softened slightly. In an instant, the aura pressure filling the room vanished just like that.Hitosi and Ryu immediately drew a long, relieved breath. Their bodies felt weak, as if they had just escaped the gates of death.Without daring to delay, both of them promptly approached Albert and bowed respectfully.Hitosi, with trembling hands, even presented the wooden box containing the Aura Enhancement

Nanase's gaze filled with doubt made Albert smile faintly. The man was aware that the first woman who had managed to shake his heart since he saved her life all those years ago, was still unable to accept the fact that he was the same beggar from ten years ago.Albert sighed softly.With a gentle movement, he shifted Nanase's body from his lap so she would return to sitting on the sofa. After that, the man stood up straight while putting one hand into his pants pocket."Your family seems to have almost arrived," Albert said casually. "Do you want to welcome them yourself, or shall I?"Nanase looked up at him with wide eyes. "You... can even sense their aura from that far away?"Albert slowly leaned down until their faces were only a few centimeters apart. His gaze was calm, yet held a mystery that was difficult to guess."There are still many things about me that you don't know," he whispered softly. The man then lightly tapped the tip of Nanase's nose before standing upright again. "
