“This is strange. This person just disappeared all of a sudden. What was the point of watching us in the first place?” Nanase wondered in confusion. Not only that, Nanase also felt that something was odd, because there should not have been any ninth-level martial arts expert i

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

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

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. "

The arrival of Radnik and Galuh immediately made the atmosphere in the main hall of Rose Villa tense. Nanase and her two loyal bodyguards immediately went on alert.Although the two of them were only at the Eighth Peak Realm, the disciplined aura radiating from their bodies still felt oppressive.Galuh stepped forward first, then bowed respectfully. “Sir, we apologize for arriving late. If we had known from the start that someone was attacking Rose Villa again, we would not have stopped just to check on Nik and Rudas, who were injured,” he said in a low but firm tone.Albert remained sitting comfortably on his sofa, as if the earlier commotion was just a minor disturbance not worth worrying about. “Just ants passing by. No need to make a fuss,” he replied lightly. However, his gaze quickly turned serious. “How are Nik and Rudas?”Galuh let out a soft sigh before answering. “Nik suffered a fairly severe rib fracture. It will likely take several mon

Florenscia stepped into her private villa with a pale face and empty eyes. Usually, the young lady of the noble family walked with graceful poise, her chin held high, as if the world lay beneath her feet. But this time was different.The expensive dress clinging to her body looked disheveled, while her shoulders kept trembling as she fought back her emotions.Her original goal had been simple—to win Albert Yanaga’s heart, become the great lady of the Yanaga family, and enjoy all the privileges possessed by the most powerful man.However, the more she tried to get closer, the farther Albert seemed from her. Not once had the man ever shown any interest.“Sniff... sniff... why did it have to turn out like this...,” Florenscia suddenly said.The tears she had been holding back finally fell all at once. Her sobs broke out, filling the villa hall and immediately sending the servants into a panic as they looked at one another in confusion.<
