Zale drove directly to his villa after leaving Emma's house."It's already late, about 11 pm. Going home is the only option," he thought as he drove through the dark streets."I can't believe I have a healing ability now," Zale muttered as his thoughts were engulfed by what happened at the hospital. Every time he thought about the fact that he now had a healing ability, it brought him great joy, especially when he could use it to save those around him."But the really exciting thing is that I'll get to learn everything my grandfather kept from me," he thought, looking forward to his grandfather's upcoming discharge in two days."Why do I have the feeling that this secret might be something unpleasant? I hope my hunch is wrong," Zale pondered aloud, a mixture of concern and apprehension evident in his voice.The events of the day had left him mentally drained, prompting him to yearn for a good rest at his villa."I need to get home faster," he decided, opting for an alley instead of the

Zale was taken aback when he heard this. His mouth remained wide open, but no words came out. He had trouble comprehending what he had just heard. He already suspected that Maya came from a powerful family, but an influence strong enough to suddenly stop his moving car in the middle of the road without them even noticing was something he hadn't imagined. "Just how powerful is her family?" He couldn't help but ponder.Maya didn't wait for a response from Zale; she buckled her seatbelt and exited the car.Six burly young men, armed to the teeth, got out of the black Audi and rushed to her upon spotting her come out of the vehicle."Are you all right, miss?" Asked one of them, whose name was Matthew, in a concerned voice. Maya took a deep breath and replied, "I'm fine. Why did it take you guys so long to find me? Whenever I snuck out before, you found me quickly. But tonight, when I was almost raped, you were nowhere to be found."Matthew's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Maya's rev

The next morning, Zale woke up, feeling more refreshed than ever. He had never felt so strong and rejuvenated his entire life. It was as if a dormant power had been awakened within him during the night, leaving him with a sense of vitality that he couldn't quite explain.Up until this morning, he most times battled early morning sickness whenever he awoke. Nausea would grip him, a daily reminder of his frailty. However, for some inexplicable reason, that wasn't the case this morning. He sat up in bed, his body devoid of the usual discomfort."I think it's the Orion Toad," Zale managed to convince himself, attributing this newfound vigor to the Orion Toad's presence and the abilities it had bestowed upon him.When he returned last night, he had immediately positioned the Orion Toad close to his bedside.As he prepared to rise from his bed and ready himself for the day's activities, a thought crossed his mind. It was an intrusive thought, one that came so suddenly that he was taken ab

Maya stared at the head of security, a mix of incredulity and curiosity dancing in her eyes. "A delivery person with a Ferrari and a hundred-million-dollar villa? This doesn't make any sense. How did he end up in that line of work if he's so affluent?"The head of security shrugged, clearly as puzzled as Maya. "I wish I had an answer for that, Ma'am. It's a mystery to me."Maya leaned back in her chair, her mind racing with questions. "Do we have any information on his family or personal connections?"The head of security nodded. "Yes, we have some details on his family, but they seem rather ordinary. No prominent ties or affiliations that would explain his wealth or his unusual choice of occupation. His father died a long time ago and he even grew up in the countryside."Maya's intrigue deepened. "I want to meet him. But keep it discreet. I don't want anyone to know about this. I will also use that opportunity to reward him for saving me last night."The head of security nodded once m

Meanwhile, not far from where the scene was taking place, two individuals had alighted from their vehicle, ready to dash towards the commotion. They were Zale's shadow guards, highly trained to protect him in any situation. However, just as they were about to move, their boss, Jolene, commanded them to halt."Stop! They aren't there for trouble," Jolene issued a clear order, her voice unwavering as she held out her hand, preventing the guards from taking a step forward.One of the guards protested, his concern evident in his tone, "Are you saying we shouldn't interfere, boss? But these people are dangerous. Whatever business they have with our young master, I'm certain it's not for good."Jolene gave him a sharp, penetrating glare, a look that could freeze molten steel. "Get back inside the car now! We will only interfere if they try to harm our young master. Otherwise, I don't see any need to attack them. I don't want us to end up being on the bad side of a dangerous gang. They wil
