Chapter 128
Kai gripped the steering wheel firmly, his eyes focused steadily on the road ahead as the low hum of the engine filled the interior of the car. Although he had declined absolutely everything the manager had thrown at him earlier, he didn't want a party or some ridiculous photoshoot with the car—all of that meant nothing to him whatsoever. The newly purchased vehicle felt smooth and powerful beneath him, fitting neatly for the goals he had quietly set for himself over the years. Yet there was no excitement visible on his face, no genuine satisfaction from the luxury now sitting in his possession. For him, it was simply a tool, nothing more than that.At that moment, his phone buzzed insistently on the passenger seat beside him, pulling him out of his thoughts abruptly. He glanced at the caller ID and sighed heavily. It was Vanessa. Without much enthusiasm, he picked up the call anyway."What is it?" Kai's voice was calm, almost entirely detached."Well, hello to you too," Vanessa repli

Seeing everything that was happening, Julian stood rooted to the spot, his arms crossed tightly as he replayed the scene over and over in his mind. He had expected to confront Kai, embarrass him thoroughly, maybe even get him thrown out of the dealership entirely. Instead, he had witnessed the manager's unprecedented deference and the smooth, effortless transaction for a car that was far beyond the reach of most ordinary people. Something simply didn't add up here.Everything looked so confusing to him. Without needing to be told, he could tell Kai was hiding something significant beneath the surface.Slowly, he walked closer to Renata, then pulled out his phone and dialed Vanessa's number. She picked up almost immediately, her voice sharp and clearly impatient."What is it, Julian? I'm busy right now.""You're not going to believe this," Julian said, still trying to process what he'd just witnessed. "I just saw Kai at the dealership. He bought one of the most expensive cars they had—

With a growing tension in the scene, not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps caught his attention sharply. Turning slightly, Kai saw the dealership manager approaching, his expression a curious mix of urgency and deference blended together.The manager, a well-dressed man in his late forties, exuded professionalism, but there was an unmistakable nervousness threaded through his stride."Mr. Kai," the manager called, his tone respectful as he reached where Kai was seated calmly.Kai raised his head to meet his gaze. "Yes?"The manager offered a polite smile, his hands clasped neatly in front of him. "I apologize for interrupting, but we have a matter to discuss regarding your purchase today."Upon hearing what the manager had just said, Renata, who had been watching from a distance with a look of disappointment settling into her eyes—seeing Julian couldn't manage to accomplish anything moments earlier—narrowed her gaze in growing suspicion. She had expected Kai to be humiliated

Vanessa nervously adjusted her blouse as she stepped into the elegant café, her heels clicking softly against the polished tiled floor beneath her. She had received Winston's invitation only the day before, and though she feigned confidence, the weight of his reputation loomed large and heavy in her mind. Winston wasn't just influential—he was widely known for being ruthless and calculating in equal measure. A meeting with him rarely ended without strings quietly attached to it. She scanned the room until she spotted Winston seated in a private corner booth. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes held a sharpness that made her stomach churn uneasily. Forcing a smile onto her face, Vanessa approached and greeted him. "Winston," she began, her voice tinged with apprehension, "it's an honor to meet you in person." Seeing Vanessa, Winston gestured toward the seat opposite him, his expression entirely unreadable. "Please, sit." Without wasting any time, she immediately sat down across fr

Seraphina tapped her fingers against the armrest, her eyes narrowing slightly. "He's either the smartest man we've ever hunted, or something far more dangerous than the intel suggests," she said, her voice calm but heavy with unresolved thought. "But there's something else bothering me." "The civilian, the doctor you saved outside the mansion the other day, who almost left you for dead if not for Dr. Marcus's quick intervention?" her assistant asked tentatively. Seraphina nodded immediately. "Why did the fugitive spare him? A man like that doesn't leave witnesses behind. There's more to this Kai than meets the eye." Her assistant hesitated, unsure of what to say next. "Should we bring him in for questioning?" "No," Seraphina replied firmly. "Not yet. Let the team finish their search first. If the fugitive left anything behind—or anyone—I want to know about it before we move." As they pulled into the headquarters parking lot, Seraphina's sharp instincts told her the day's events w
Chapter 123
After saving Mr. Everett's son, the herb he had been promised was finally handed over to him. He couldn't help but feel a wave of relief wash over him, knowing he had added one more piece to the ten herbs he needed to collect. Without needing to be told, he was well aware that the sooner he gathered all ten, the better off he would be. Leaving Mr. Everett's home behind, as Kai approached the entrance to his villa, he noticed something profoundly unusual. The usually quiet street was now teeming with palpable tension. Black SUVs were parked haphazardly, their headlights cutting sharply through the settling twilight, while armed guards formed a tight perimeter around the entire area. The faint hum of communication devices and the occasional barked order filled the surrounding air. Kai slowed his steps, his sharp eyes scanning the unfolding scene carefully. A guard stepped forward, raising a hand to halt him. "Sir, this area is under lockdown," the guard said curtly. "For your safety,
